DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT – AND BY THE WORD!
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall NOT FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ’s have CRUCIFIED [PUT TO DEATH] the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.
 
I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:
 
“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.
 
And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go of our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the path of PLEASING of God.
 
“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.
 
Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, the question and examination for us is to ask and take on is if the efforts we are exerting to accomplish anything whatever are of – the GOOD, the ACCEPTABLE and the PERFECT WILL of God as enjoined in the scripture of Romans 12:1-2? And we mustn’t forget that God’s WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. And while God must have EXALTED and LIFTED UP His WORD and His NAME, He has however MAGNIFIED His WORD ABOVE His NAME in order to ensure, assure and authenticate the immutability of His person and character in His grace, in the faith for us, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; FOR YOU HAVE EXALTED ABOVE ALL ELSE YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD AND YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
“Wherein God, WILLING more abundantly to SHEW unto the HEIRS of promise the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel, CONFIRMED it by an oath: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS [HIS WORD AND HIS NAME], in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which ENTERETH into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, MADE an HIGH PRIEST for EVER after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 6:17-20.
 
And with the context of His IMMUTABILITY, we can then ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God in the context of Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 12:1-2.
 
Therefore, what then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask. HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW but not limited:
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:
 
Spend your most precious time on what God IS and has BECOME to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God, while Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS applause. [Philemon 1:6; Jeremiah 29:11; Philemon 1:6].
The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on the enemy and cohorts presence irrespective, if you think you have one in labelled; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God’s presence as primarily as in His WORD on any context [Matthew 6:33; Psalms 16:11]. And God in His own terms, will makes the enemy and cohorts to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you [Proverbs 16:7].
 
DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? DON’T YOU WANT GOD TO BE IN CHARGE TO FIGHT YOUR FAITH OF FAITH INSTEAD OF YOU? [1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Joshua 5:13-15].
 
As for me, because I Do LOVE and have faith in trust of God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS, I won’t burn my time on the enemy and cohorts; instead, I burn my all PLEASING God in spirit and in truth. That’s the realm of living in an effortless position, and to keep one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, even in the midst of diverse challenges and obstacles in cause of living under the heavens in the earth.
 
Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.
 
This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matter that confronts me; and that’s what I want you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobia when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:
 
“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.
 
To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.
 
Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:
1. Hearing (Hear)
2. Seeing (See)
3. Smelling (Smell)
4. Tasting (Taste)
5. Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)
 
People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.
 
They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.
 
And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:
 
EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;
 
ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost of his birthright to of his brother – JACOB;
 
King SAUL of losing his throne towards harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;
 
Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;
 
King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE who touched the ARK to help carry it against divine process;
 
Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.
 
HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:
 
The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.
 
The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.
 
Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.
Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.
 
Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.
 
If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES

By Leave a Comment

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – JUST LIVE AND WALK IN HIM!

“For ye WERE sometimes darkness, but now ARE ye light in the Lord: WALK as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the SPIRIT is in all GOODNESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS and truth;) 10 PROVING what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

Until one begins to WALK IN THE SPIRIT as one LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, the true CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES and it’s REALITIES of the Spirit can’t be ACTUALISED in the FULLNESS of God’s given grace wherein we stand in the Faith that JUSTIFIES us and give us ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus. It thus means, you can’t just lay claim to HAVE LOVE for example if you can’t WALK IN LOVE, or have goodness, peace, patience and more within you, if you can’t walk in goodness, peace, patience and more with others. One need to both LIVE and WALK the WALK within, in the Spirit and not just the TALK.

“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.

So, as we take on to do life daily and the week to week, to turn into another week to week into another month to another month into the years as the Lord God tarries, it’s time not to hold back but to TRANSLATE your God given fruit of the Spirit by WALKING in them as you LIVE consciously in them. That’s how the CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES are FORMATTED and SYNCHRONISED within us into the image of Christ Jesus stead.

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the SAME IMAGE from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.

Enjoy your day folks, because ‘A NEW DAY IS DAWN’ for a NEW YOU and for your BEST life, for a GREATER you in the greater God. Therefore, go do the LIVING and the WALKING, and not just in a mere TALK or TALKING of it only.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest KNOW how thou OUGHTEST to BEHAVE (CONDUCT) thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Emphasis Mine.

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK worthy of the VOCATION wherewith ye are CALLED, 2 with all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with LONGSUFFERING, FORBEARING one another in LOVE; 3 ENDEAVOURING to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of PEACE” Ephesians 4:1-3.

“This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,  23 GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such there is no law.  24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  25 IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT” Galatians 5:16, 22-25.

“For a GOOD TREE bringeth not forth CORRUPT FRUIT; neither doth a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his OWN fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 6:43-45 (Matthew 12:32-34).

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD report; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead. However, it’s operations in the Believer’s life, depends on the individual to make it happen within the pure context of the given redemption rights and privileges, and not in anywhere irrespective.

“Now thanks be unto God, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:24.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the FLESH – FIVE SENSES [SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL]. Otherwise, there will be wars and infighting within oneself because of the wanting desire that’s born through the cravings of a lustful spirit that’s not ruled, governed, controlled and lead by the TRIUMPH Spirit of dominion.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 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 5:16, 24-25.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, but by the by the WORD of God, through our human spirit [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise known and called a supernatural being, because the human spirit is empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you – that indicates that the Super Spirit of God meets up with the natural [human] spirit of man – making the SUPERNATURAL.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to reach out to God, to be in God or to be with God, in the Kingdom cause, in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God. God operates through His WORD and not in a vacuum, hence you can’t do astral travel or astral projection with God as some may – for in doing so, you only contact demons by such sphere not the God of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God through His WORD as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING; and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God. Upon FAITH communication we ensure the assured redemption deed of Christ Jesus in us.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, because in God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. This thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference – For demon’s will always occupy a vacuum hearts not filled up with God’s word [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit – [human spirit] and in the truth – [the Word of God]

“When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT is gone out of a man, he WALKETH through DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it EMPTY, SWEPT, and GARNISHED. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more WICKED than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the LAST state of that man is WORSE than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” Matthew 12:43-45.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the placOUmen ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

The consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** HEAR/HEARING

** SEE/SEEING

** TASTE/TASTING

** SMELL/SMELLING

** FEEL/TOUCH [FEELING/TOUCHING]

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These EFFECTS are as written and experienced in the Scriptures which are of these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]:

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECTS shows up and was experienced at the beginning times by Mrs Eve and Mr Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith [God’s WORD] with God. [Genesis 3:1-7].

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was DEFEATED with his flesh [fleshy] Introductory scheme by the WORD of God that Christ Jesus utilized by Holy Spirit in the lead. [Luke 4:1-13].

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, as satan and cohorts are looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 Peter 5:8-9]. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, The WORD TRIUMPH and a NO WORD then means NO TRIUMPH but DEFEAT and FAILURES and REGRETS; and anything outside the WORD, otherwise it will then be Magic, Sorcery, Traditional belief, dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made make-belief’s, denominational indoctrination, by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DESIRES and DEEDS and EFFECTS of the FLESH through lust.

BE BLESSED.

“. . . 6 And when the woman SAW that the tree was GOOD for FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT to the EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED to make one WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat . . .” Genesis 3:1-7.

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD?

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT BY THE WORD!

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 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 5:16, 24-25.

I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:

“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.

And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the PLEASING of God.

“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.

Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, but are they – the GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL of God? Romans 12:1-2. And we mustn’t forget that His WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. Then we can ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God?

What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask.  HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW:

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:

Spend your most precious time on what God IS to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God and Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS. Philemon 1:6.

The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God primarily as in His WORD on any context. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? Because I Do LOVE God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS while I burn my time instead, PLEASING Him. That’s effortless and keeps one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING even in the MIDST of challenges and obstacles in our circumstances.

Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.

This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matters that confronts me; and that’s what I wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts l WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobias when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:

“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.

To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:

** Hearing (Hear)

** Seeing (See)

** Smelling (Smell)

** Tasting (Taste)

** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE,  PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.

They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.

And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:

*** EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost to his birthright because of his brother’s – JACOB – porridge;

*** King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;

*** Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.

The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.

If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 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 5:16, 24-25.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.

“. . . 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6.

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – JUST LIVE AND WALK IN HIM!

“For ye WERE sometimes darkness, but now ARE ye light in the Lord: WALK as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the SPIRIT is in all GOODNESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS and truth;) 10 PROVING what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

Until one begins to WALK IN THE SPIRIT as one LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, the true CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES and it’s REALITIES of the Spirit can’t be ACTUALISED in the FULLNESS of God’s given grace wherein we stand in the Faith that JUSTIFIES us and give us ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus. It thus means, you can’t just lay claim to HAVE LOVE, for example if you can’t WALK IN LOVE, or have goodness, peace, patience and more within you, you can’t walk in goodness, peace, patience and more with others. One need to both LIVE and WALK the WALK within, in the Spirit and not just the TALK.

“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.

So, as we take on to do life daily and the week to week, to turn into another week to week into another month to another month into the years as the Lord God tarries, it’s time not to hold back but to TRANSLATE your God given fruit of the Spirit by WALKING in them as you LIVE consciously in them. That’s how the CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES are FORMATTED and SYNCHRONISED within us into the image of Christ Jesus stead.

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the SAME IMAGE from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.

Enjoy your day folks, because ‘A NEW DAY IS DAWN’ for a NEW YOU and for your BEST life, for a GREATER you in the greater God. Therefore, go do the LIVING and the WALKING, and not just in a mere TALK or TALKING of it only.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest KNOW how thou OUGHTEST to BEHAVE (CONDUCT) thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Emphasis Mine.

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK worthy of the VOCATION wherewith ye are CALLED, 2 with all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with LONGSUFFERING, FORBEARING one another in LOVE; 3 ENDEAVOURING to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of PEACE” Ephesians 4:1-3.

“This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,  23 GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such there is no law.  24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  25 IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT” Galatians 5:16, 22-25.

“For a GOOD TREE bringeth not forth CORRUPT FRUIT; neither doth a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his OWN fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 6:43-45 (Matthew 12:32-34).

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD report; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – THEREFORE LIVE AND WALK IN HIM TO ACTUALISED IN FULLNESS!

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh . . . 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 25.

Until one begin to WALK in the Spirit as one LIVE in the Spirit, the true CHARACTER realities of the Spirit can’t be ACTUALISED in the FULLNESS of God’s given grace. Meaning, you can’t just lay claim to have LOVE for example, if you can’t WALK IN LOVE, or have goodness, peace, patience and such like more within you, if you can’t WALK in goodness, peace, patience and such like more with others. One need to both LIVE and WALK the WALK within and not just the TALK, in the Spirit.

So, as we take on the day and the week to turn into another day and week, it’s time to translate your God given FRUIT of the Spirit by walking in them as you live consciously in them. That’s how the character attributes are FORMATTED and SYNCHRONISED within us.

Enjoy your day and week folks, because ‘A NEW DAY FOR A NEW YOU IS DAWN’ for a BETTER you and the BEST life, for a GREATER you.

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH – THE FIVE SENSES: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“Now thanks be unto God, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:24.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the flesh – five senses.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh . . . 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 5:16, 24-25.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, by the WORD of God, through our human spirit (Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7). This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise a supernatural being that’s Empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God, in God or with God in the Kingdom cause in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God.

And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING (1 Timothy 3:9), and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God (Romans 10:17).

So, to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. Thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference (Matthew 12:43-45). And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit and in the truth – the Word of God (John 4:19-24).

The consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** Hear/Hearing

** See/Seeing

** Taste/Tasting

** Smell/Smelling

** Feel/Touch Feeling/Touching

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE.

These EFFECTS are these (Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17):

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECTS was shown at the beginning by Mrs. Eve and Mr. Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith with God.

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was defeated with the flesh Introductory scheme.

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, looking for who will fall to its sword. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, NO WORD, NO TRIUMPH. Otherwise it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made believes, denominational by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DEEDS – EFFECTS – of the FLESH.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

BE BLESSED.

“Now thanks be unto God, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:24.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 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 5:16, 24-25.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“. . . 6 And when the woman SAW that the tree was GOOD for FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT to the EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED to make one WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat . . .” Genesis 3:1-7.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.
