WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2023 : MONTH OF ENSURING THAT YOU PROSPER BY – “PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS”
 “Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

A JOB is what you are employed and tutored to do and you can be sacked, retrenched, dismissed and retired even against your will but A WORK is what you are in-built to do and no man can sack, dismiss, retrench, retire you but you and you alone. It is the discovery of the work and your work in you, that makes the difference to make you do things differently; and that enables you to be creative, innovative and initiative by exploring better ways of prospering the work to prosper the you in life and grace without stress and anxiety, murmuring and complaining. By knowing and understanding what your work is all about, then you know your WORTH and how you tend toward an onward and upward trajectory to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, because it’s within you.  THINK ABOUT IT!

When you know you work, the wisdom to prosper the work to prosper you, comes naturally. And the act of faithfulness, diligence, prudence, responsibility and accountability that’s built on principle become natural to you. And knowing and understanding your work and your worth in your worth, will change your perspective of not not blaming others wherever there is setback in the work. We live in a world where people take delight to blame others to in order to create their own narratives and uprising on someone else downfall. Knowing and understanding your work helps you not to be deter by the forces about, no matter the numbers. GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION NEITHER DANCING TO THE COMMONLY ACCEPTABLE AN OPTION WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR WORK.

So, if you wants to prosper, take time to do diligence in self discovery of your work and then ensure all it takes to prosper the work that you may prosper along. Your prosperity is in your hand and not in another. The scripture says in Joshua 1:8, it is you that will make your way PROSPEROUS with GOOD SUCCESS, indicating that they are BAD SUCCESS as it’s written:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, and then YOU WILL have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV.

When you consider your work a business under God as Jesus Christ consider His work, a business under God, you will prosper and increase with wisdom, physique and in favour with God and man.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS? . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:49, 52.

“I must WORK THE WORKS of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can WORK” John 9:4.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

And to do business with your work, you have to as a matter of principle to be DILIGENT. And DILIGENCE is not just about hardworking, but about being smart, steadily steady and consistently consistent in FAITH, with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in focus, THRIVING to obtain an effectual and productive result. The otherwise is to be slacked of the work to attract failings and failures instead of prosperity and good success as written:

“He BECOMETH POOR THAT DEALETH WITH A SLACK HAND: but the HAND OF THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. 5 He that GATHERETH IN SUMMER is a WISE son: but he that SLEEPETH IN HARVEST is a son that CAUSETH SHAME” Proverbs 10:4-5.

When you DILIGENTLY TILL YOUR LAND – your WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating, there will be PLENTY of bread to sort you out in life and make you a vessel of blessings to others. To TILL is to CULTIVATE – which means, to PLOW, SOW or PLANT and RAISE or PRODUCE. And to ensure that you till the work – you cultivate by plowing on the work and planting a SEED or CROP or investing say TIME, FINANCE,  EFFORT (mental and or physical exertion) and other necessary material to NURTURE that endeavour untill there’s a product – effect or result.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be satisfied with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

When you are consistently consistent in a steady spirit and faith in that which you set your hearts to do, you will never be disappointed. That’s the spirit of DILIGENCE. It’s REWARDING and EMPOWERING.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

It’s too early to PLAY the LAZY, SLOTHFUL and SLUGGARD card as a fool. It’s time to INITIATE, CREATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE all the necessary possibilities in the work set plan, purpose and pursuit. And DILIGENCE makes it all POSSIBLE.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

MONTH FEBRUARY: MONTH OF ENSURING THAT YOU PROSPER BY – “PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS”

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

When you consider your work a business under God as Jesus Christ consider His work, a business under God, you will prosper and increase with wisdom, physique and in favor with God and man.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS? . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:49, 52.

When you DILIGENTLY TILL YOUR LAND for example, there will be PLENTY of bread to sort you out in life and make you a vessel of blessings to others. To TILL is to CULTIVATE – which means, to PLOW, SOW or PLANT and RAISE or PRODUCE a crop for example. That’s to say, you don’t just PLOW, but you ensure the PLOW land by planting a SEED or CROP or investing say TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (mental and or physical exertion), to NURTURE that endeavour untill there’s a product – effect or result.

When you are consistently consistent in a steady spirit and faith in that which you set your hearts to do, you will never be disappointed. That’s the spirit of DILIGENCE. It’s REWARDING and EMPOWERING.

WISDOM NUGGETS

By Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS: THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL (PASSION), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING PURPOSE!

I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header and the content to read along. For while there is time to SOAR in DOMINION, there is a Place of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING in life, that worth a proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully. You need to have the perspective of each respectively in order to apply your heart in the path of wisdom. For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being to ensure your God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

LET US CONSIDER THE PERSPECTIVES RESPECTIVELY:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. However, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.

It thus also means, being passionate about something as: Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply for this:

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 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” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

***KNOWLEDGE is not very appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavors with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

It thus means that, as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. Simply for this reason to add understanding to knowledge:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILMENT in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL: DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!

The last time I checked with God about you in the Scriptures, He said, that your WORTH in Him, is GRACIOUS and PRICELESS. So, don’t let your present turbulence or circumstances makes you SETTLE FOR LESS than your WORTH in Christ Jesus; and much more before our God in the name of humility, which is actually ignorance, foolishness and stupidity; and not even before man nor satanic influences, because your true worth definition is not in men. YOU ARE MORE OF GOD AND ABOVE ONLY!

You ARE of God, and His DESIGN and SHOWCASE LABEL to the world, for you ARE wonderfully and fearfully created, that is, reverently made. You ARE God made. You ARE of God’s cornerstone that’s fashioned and polished in the similitude of His palatial palace of GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS, FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.

Your REDEMPTION is PRICELESS, don’t demean your WORTH for the less. Know full well, there’s an answer to your prayers, for God is able and faithful to meet up with you at the point of your need. God is NEVER late when you are patience – He’s always on time – Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. He lives in TIMELESS realm of possibility not on our 24hrs Gregorian timed Calendar. Hence FAITH which is a necessity tool of timeless realm in Him, is paramount importance to engaged with God – 1 John 5:4-5; Hebrews 11:6; Habakkuk 2:4. And surely and assuredly, God will meet you up at that point of possibility realm – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

Dust off yourself right now, head up and raise your shoulder high and put on your high heels of redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Then arise in grace and look unto the HILLS wherein comes the ANSWERS and not the QUESTIONS as you step into your day. It’s your time to shine, go forth and shine, for your light is come and God’s PRICELESS glory is upon you.

Be Blessed – Meaning – Be Empowered in grace To Succeed, Thrive, Color and be meaningfully Fulfilled.

YOU ARE WORTH THE LIVING – THE BEST OF GOD – DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CONTINUE until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], DEVELOPING [that good work] and PERFECTING and bringing it to FULL COMPLETION in you.” (Philippians 1:6 Amplified).

“God is FAITHFUL (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were CALLED into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9 Amplified).

“And WE KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“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.

DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHENED – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

God wants you strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS is you DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfillment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

And considering all your rising early and coming late in day-to-day routines and schedules – How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands. How do you endeavor to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT. These and many other quest not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): 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 5:17-21.

“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 . . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which RECEIVE abundance of GRACE and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ . . . 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as SIN HATH REIGNED unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:1-2, 17, 20-21.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That SHINES brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT DAY” Proverbs 4:18 Amplified.

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE purpose] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

“. . . 4 what is MAN, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou VISITEST him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED HIM with GLORY and HONOUR. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS; thou hast PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas . . .” Psalms 8:1-9.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded . . .” Isaiah 45:11-13.

BEING FRUITFUL, BLOSSOMING AND FLOURISHING IN GRACE

By Leave a Comment

BEING FRUITFUL, BLOSSOMING AND FLOURISHING IN GRACE: FOR IN GOD IN GRACE  – AGE DOESN’T LIMIT ANY IN FRUITFULNESS!

God gives the enabling grace – anointing – to make us FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in Him. And it is an indication of Him being our ROCK and without UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him. Psalms 92:12-15; 2 Corinthians 5:21.

The act of FLOURISHING and FRUITFULNESS is not limited to a few. It’s available and reachable and liveable to all, even at OLD age – NO LIMITATIONS IN GRACE – Galatians 3:26-29; Psalms 92:12-15. Hence, there’s no room to make excuses, complain, blame and assume there’s someone responsible and accountable for your UNPRODUCTIVE and UNFRUITFUL state in life, when and while all signs and indications of blossoming and flourishing are there. If there’s anything to blame, it’s one’s IGNORANCE to THINK that a mere blossoming and flourishing is sufficient without FRUITFULNESS. Unfortunately, God winked at ignorance. Acts 17:30-31.

Think about this – Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, while in humanity have to rebuke with woe to the PHARISEES and SCRIBES, who thinks that a mere paying of their TITHE is sufficient to ACCESS God’s favor and to LEGISLATE spirituality, when they overlook the essence of  FRUITFULNESS and the fruitful character of JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITHFULNESS – Matthew 23:23. THINK about it – to BLOSSOM and FLOURISH but no FRUIT does not WIN God’s favor.

Therefore, get yourself PLANTED in the house of the Lord, in order to FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Don’t be a POTTED plant that is not ROOTED in a place and taken about places, but rather be a PLANTED plant that is ROOTED in the house of the Lord, in order to experience not just the segment of flourishing and blossoming as a Palm tree and a cedar in labor, but as a FRUITFUL one in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Remember that Christ Jesus CURSED a fig tree that was BLOSSOMING and FLOURISHING without FRUIT and FRUITFULNESS. Mark 11:11-14.

I PRAY that you will be ROOTED in your PLANTED place such that you will BLOSSOM and FLOURISH in Grace, and become fruitful in all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:2-4.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was HUNGRY: 13 and seeing a FIG TREE AFAR OFF HAVING LEAVES, HE CAME, IF HAPLY HE MIGHT FIND ANY THING THEREON: AND WHEN HE CAME TO IT, HE FOUND NOTHING BUT LEAVES; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, NO MAN EAT FRUIT of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it” Mark 11:11-14.

“But my HORN [my emblem of strength and power] You have EXALTED like that of a wild ox; I am ANOINTED with FRESH OIL [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12  The righteous will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will GROW like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14  [Growing in grace] they will still THRIVE and bear FRUIT and PROSPER in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my ROCK, and THERE IS NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him” Psalms 92:10-15 Amplified.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, hypocrites! For you give a TENTH (tithe) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have NEGLECTED the weightier [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITHFULNESS; but these are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done without NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 Amplified.

“Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18.

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE

By Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING!

“WISDOM is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom in God to excellently do life and live godly as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:22-31.

And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing –  called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all sphere that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8.

To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in all about doing life and living godly, herein for your perusal, are PRINCIPLES to think and ponder upon in respect to the pursuit in principle, of – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM:

PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to foolishness and frustration. Hence a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something is not enough to carry one through in life’s PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end. It thus also means that being passionate about something such as – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry, and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s written for our knowing:

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 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 everyone that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE:

***KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experienced the effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purpose meaningful and fulfilling. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that there’s the need to add UNDERSTANDING to one’s KNOWLEDGE even as it’s written:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE:

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. Hence where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life.

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise)” Proverbs 21:16.

Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of passion, knowledge, and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2 Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3 Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4 Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6 For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12 WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT).

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified.

BELIEVE Before You ACT

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!

You need to build your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance your quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS; and or ACT on SUSPICION; and such like, which is a mere RELIGION. And God is about you having LIFE in His GRACE and not RELIGION. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith – LIFE in the GRACE, which is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.

You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVAL for you or on Men APPLAUDS for you or on self-made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being.

FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I want you to be reminded and to know full well, that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys.

Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“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” Mark 10:9-10.

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 11:1-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 10:8-10, 17; Galatians 3:11; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Romans 14:23.
