THE PANDEMIC CHALLENGE – ALWAYS KNOW FOR SURE THAT – You ARE The Church
THE PANDEMIC CHALLENGE – ALWAYS KNOW FOR SURE THAT – You ARE The Church: You ARE Not Being Closed – You Can’t Be Closed – It’s Just The GATHERING [MEETING] Place Been Shut!
“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to MORE strength: BUT WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.
The Scriptures says that wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct. And because not all of us are in the same wave of grace and strenght as a Church to withstand robustly some measures, it’s very important that every sacrifice to help especially the young in Faith are considered – hence the building gathering may be considered shut for the time been, the services for the advancement of the Kingdom Causes are not shut. It’s not a weakening but a wise sense to flourish all. It’s a challenge to the awakening of the times in order to become WHAT you are and of WHOM you are in all circumstances.
For Apostle Paul did say, for the WEAK I became WEAK to make them grow along and together as others, to the place of STRENGHT – that’s what a good shepherd of the flocks does. And to the strong, I do all I can to keep them strenghten the more he said. As we take care for the Sheep, so the Lambs who are most vulnerable, for they can’t be forgotten; they are part of this journey of LIFE and GRACE in the Kingdom Causes of our God – to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.
“To the WEAK became I as WEAK, that I might GAIN the WEAK: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means SAVE some. 23 And this I do for the GOSPEL’S SAKE, that I might be partaker thereof with you” 1 Corinthians 9:22-23.
“We then that are STRONG ought to bear the INFIRMITIES of the WEAK, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to EDIFICATION. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me” Romans 15:1-3.
For we are the Church being built of the Father God in our Lord Christ Jesus by the Word through prayers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit; as such we the Church are not the structurally and architecturally building; hence as a charismatic and dynamic body, we can adapt with the changes to advance the Kingdom Causes of our God as we keep the enemy and cohorts at bay through this period until the world present predicament come to a hold at least.
As Moses and His leadership was able to take along the mobile Church in the wilderness to the promised land of grace in spite of the ups and downs, may every Pastoral leadership I pray, will by God’s wisdom takes God’s people under their Shepherding to the places of stability, strength and counsel in LIFE and GODLINESS during this challenging and difficult times of our Health and Economic depravity, as we all all being tested again WORLD wide.
The Churches leadership can use the services of the home cell groups or and social media streamlining platforms or and recorded videos and or Audio and video formats to transmit the Word to keep the Church services alive and engaged gracefully and graciously in knowledge and understanding without disruptions. More so, using the telephone lines as timeless avenues for counseling and prayers where needed in cause of channeling cares.
May I make this profound note for everyone to know that during the cause and course of this process that the dynamics in which we go about doing and running Church services will be changing and denominational boundary and limitations will be broken. So get ready to wise up from the limited bonds and conditions you may have build yourself all these while.
Its my prayers that as Pastoral leadership team open up the more to the Holy Spirit, there will be absolute update to lead the flocks of God unhindered in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES
BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!
“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14 (Amplified).
“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15 (Amplified)
I want to know for certain, that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I meant you are the Church in TRIUMPH and not the architectural building where the ingathering to worship our God worthily and to serve Him acceptably is centered. And knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION (2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15). And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES (Galatians 5:16, 24-25).
“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.
It thus means TRIUMPH is by living in the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads, by the WORD of God, through your human spirit by the auction within you (Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27). This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being that is SPIRIT-RULED and not BODILY-RULED or FLESHLY-RULED. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life within you – Romans 8:1-17. For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God.
And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING (1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 12:4), and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God (Romans 10:17).
So to FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God (1 Corinthians 1:9), 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 by your spirit and in the truth – the WORD of God (John 4:19-24).
The consequential of living outside the sphere of the Spirit led, is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, 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 there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These FIVE SENSES 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 EFFECT was shown at the beginning by Eve and Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in FAITH and FELLOWSHIP with God (Genesis 3). These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting at the TEMPTATION mountain (Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 4:1-11). Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around looking for who will fall to it’s sword (1 John 2:15-17). 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 affirmative statements to His firm FAITH in the WORD – IT IS WRITTEN – Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 (1 John 5:4-5; Colossians 2:15; Philemon 1:6). Thus meaning No WORD, No FAITH and No TRIUMPH – 2 Corinthians 2:14. Otherwise it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, Man-made believes, creeds and such likes.
Therefore, as the TRIUMPH CHURCH in Christ Jesus stead, let us us ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we are – by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit that we might not fulfill the DEEDS – desired EFFECTS – of the FLESH.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
BE BLESSED.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES
BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH – The LUST Of The FLESH, The LUST Of The EYES And The PRIDE Of LIFE!
Firstly, know that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I meant you and not the architectural building where WORSHIPPERS gather. However, knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15). And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES (Galatians 5:16, 24-25); it thus means living in the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads, by the WORD of God, through your human spirit by the auction within you (Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27). This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life within you – Romans 8:1-17. For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God.
And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING (1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 12:4), and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God (Romans 10:17).
So to FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God (1 Corinthians 1:9), 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 by your spirit and in the truth – the WORD of God (John 4:19-24).
The consequential of living outside the sphere of the Spirit led, is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, 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 there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE.
These FIVE SENSES 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 EFFECT was shown at the beginning by Eve and Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in FAITH and FELLOWSHIP with God (Genesis 3). These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting at the TEMPTATION mountain (Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 4:1-11). Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around looking for who will fall to it’s sword (1 John 2:15-17). 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 affirmative statements to His firm FAITH in the WORD – IT IS WRITTEN – Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 (1 John 5:4-5; Colossians 2:15; Philemon 1:6). Thus meaning No WORD, No FAITH and No TRIUMPH – 2 Corinthians 2:14. Otherwise it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, Man-made believes, creeds and such likes.
Therefore, as the TRIUMPH CHURCH in Christ Jesus stead, let us us ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we are – by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit that we might not fulfill the DEEDS – desired EFFECTS – of the FLESH.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES
BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH – The LUST Of The FLESH, The LUST Of The EYES And The PRIDE Of LIFE!
Firstly, know that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I meant you and not the architectural building where WORSHIPPERS gather. However, knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15). And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES (Galatians 5:16, 24-25); it thus means living in the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads, by the WORD of God, through your human spirit by the auction within you (Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27). This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life within you – Romans 8:1-17. For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God.
And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING (1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 12:4), and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God (Romans 10:17).
So to FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God (1 Corinthians 1:9), 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 by your spirit and in the truth – the WORD of God (John 4:19-24).
The consequential of living outside the
sphere of the Spirit led, is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, 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 there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE.
These FIVE SENSES 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 EFFECT was shown at the beginning by Eve and Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in FAITH and FELLOWSHIP with God (Genesis 3). These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting at the TEMPTATION mountain (Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 4:1-11). Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around looking for who will fall to it’s sword (1 John 2:15-17). 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 affirmative statements to His firm FAITH in the WORD – IT IS WRITTEN – Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 (1 John 5:4-5; Colossians 2:15; Philemon 1:6). Thus meaning No WORD, No FAITH and No TRIUMPH – 2 Corinthians 2:14. Otherwise it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, Man-made believes, creeds and such likes.
Therefore, as the TRIUMPH CHURCH in Christ Jesus stead, let us us ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we are – by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit that we might not fulfill the DEEDS – desired EFFECTS – of the FLESH.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
BE BLESSED.

You ARE The Church
You ARE The Church: You Are Not Being Closed – It’s Just The Gathering Place Been Shut!
The Scriptures says that wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct. And because not all of us are in the same wave of grace and strength as a Church to withstand robustly some measures, it’s very important that every sacrifice to help especially the young in Faith are considered – hence the building gathering may be considered shut for the time been, the services for the advancement of the Kingdom Causes are not shut. It’s not a weakening but a wise sense to flourish all.
For Apostle Paul did say, for the WEAK I became WEAK to make them grow together as others to be strong – that’s what a good shepherd of the flocks does. And to the strong, I do all I can to keep them strengthen he said. As we take care for the Sheep, the Lambs who are most vulnerable can’t be forgotten as part of this journey of LIFE and GRACE in the Kingdom Causes of our God to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.
For we are the Church being built of the Father God in our Lord Christ Jesus by the Word through prayers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit; as such we the Church are not the structurally and architecturally building; hence as a charismatic and dynamic body, we can adapt with the changes to advance the Kingdom Causes of our God as we keep the enemy and cohorts at bay through this period until the world present predicament come to a hold at least.
As Moses and His leadership was able to take along the mobile Church in the wilderness to the promised land of grace in spite of the ups and downs, may every Pastoral leadership I pray, will by God’s wisdom takes God’s people under their Shepherding to the places of stability, strength and counsel in LIFE and GODLINESS during this challenging and difficult times of our Health and Economic life beeing tested again WORLD wide.
The Churches leadership can use the services of the home cell groups or and social media streamlining platforms or and recorded videos and or Audio and video formats to transmit the Word to keep the Church services alive and engaged gracefully and graciously in knowledge and understanding without disruptions. More so, using the telephone lines as timeless avenues for counselling and prayers where needed in cause of channelling cares.
May I make this profound note for everyone to know that during the cause and course of this process that the dynamics in which we go about doing and running Church services will be changing and denominational boundary and limitations will be broken. So get ready to wise up from the limited bonds and conditions you may have build yourself all these while.
Its my prayers that as Pastoral leadership team open up the more to the Holy Spirit, there will be absolute update to lead the flocks of God unhindered in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.
