YEAR 2024 INSIGHTS AND FORESIGHTS

YEAR 2024 INSIGHTS AND FORESIGHTS: YEAR OF ENACTING – “BEING TRIUMPHANT IN EVERY PLACE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Jesus Christ the SAME YESTERDAY, and to DAY, and for EVER” Hebrews 13:8.

I am tempted to announced without being detailed on the inspiring, revealing and empowering theme for YEAR 2024 which is “BEING TRIUMPHANT IN EVERY PLACE” as ascribed from 2 Corinthians 2:14 and Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21 (1-21) respectively. Being TRIUMPHANT is only relevant when enacted and authenticated within the concept and context of living within the principle settings of the TESTAMENT of the FAITH, otherwise, it will be like the children of Israel with a full plan, purpose and pursuit before them in respect of the promised of God, but choose to make their own religion and religious make believe and made up beliefs as we’ve seen overtime, to suit the prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation of such beliefs and believe. Hence I am being reminded to recall this great quotes below as a warning signs for insights and foresights as wisdom nugget.

“The relevance of HISTORY can only be determined by the INSTRUCTIONS we draw out from it to INFORM the DECISIONS of the PRESENT and to FASHION out NEW PATHS for our TOMORROW”. Archbishop Mama Margaret Benson-IDAHOSA [Archbishop, Church  of God Mission International, Benin city, Nigeria].

“YESTERDAY was our TEACHER, TODAY is our FRIEND and TOMORROW is our OPPORTUNITY”. Dr Daisy OSBORN [Osborn Foundation International, USA, of Blessed Memory].

The Church in the WILDERNESS LIMITED God by their respective attitudes toward Him in many situations and circumstances, of which they paid dearly for it. They couldn’t ACTUALISED God’s promises to them and couldn’t ENTER into their FULNESS in His BLESSEDNESS for them in Christ Jesus stead. They were consumed with UNBELIEF toward God and His Christ. They were a people who have no FAITH in God, hence they TEMPTED and PROVOKED Him in many many ways. Hence it’s up to you as we turn into a new upcoming year if you do want to be as that WILDERNESS Church? Also, if you only wants to serve God by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation and not by the PRINCIPLE wherein your REDEMPTION is ensured and assured? You need to think very well where your grandstanding is based and being built upon, as we turn into YEAR 2024 – either to remain in the same CIRCLE and CIRCUS or to LEAP UP in FAITH, toward an onward and upward TRAJECTORY of God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15:1-21; Psalms 78:1-11, 17-20, 40-42, 55-58; Hebrews 3:7-19. Romans 5:1-2].

I don’t want you or myself or any that I do love, care about and equally do life with, just as you that’s reading this post right now, to suffer and be limited to actualised in the fulness and to enact and authenticate God’s graciousnesss and gracefulness in BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. The WILDERNESS Church missed out, because of their attitude to TEMPT, PROVOKE and LIMIT God in Christ Jesus stead by their self made up beliefs toward God’s WORD; and what they did in their UNBELIEF caused them to suffer severely and they NEVER entered into their promised BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Hebrews 3:7-19. Hebrews 4:9-11; 1 Corinthians 10:1-13]. Unbelief in this context is when you knowingly and unknowingly choose to undermine the need to continuously work and walk by FAITH in the WORD of God as principled toward you in His REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32]

There is a place for the fulness of rest, for the people who serves God unreservedly and uncompromisingly in His principles, as in His WORD to all in context. [Hebrews 4:9-13]. I pray that you will endeavour to make an intentional efforts and to ensure that you are set to worthily worship God and to serve Him acceptably and unreservedly WITHOUT LIMITING Him, in everyway of doing life and living godly in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in everyway and everywhere in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths drop FATNESS. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13.

“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.

“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.

“Give ear, O my people, to my law: INCLINE your EARS to the WORDS of my MOUTH. 2 I will open my MOUTH in a PARABLE: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, SHEWING to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,  and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5 For he ESTABLISHED a testimony in Jacob, and APPOINTED a law in Israel, which he COMMANDED our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6 that the GENERATION to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7 that they might set their hope in God, and not FORGET the works of God, but keep his commandments: 8 and might not be as their fathers, a STUBBORN and REBELLIOUS generation; a GENERATION that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was NOT STEDFAST with God. 9 The children of EPHRAIM, being ARMED, and CARRYING bows, TURNED BACK in the DAY of BATTLE. 10 They KEPT NOT the covenant of God, and REFUSED to walk in his law; 11 and FORGAT his works, and his WONDERS that he had SHEWED them . . . 17 And they SINNED yet more AGAINST him by PROVOKING the most High in the wilderness. 18 And they TEMPTED God in their heart by ASKING meat for their lust. 19 Yea, they spake AGAINST God; they said, Can God FURNISH a table in the WILDERNESS? 20 Behold, he SMOTE the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; CAN HE GIVE BREAD ALSO? CAN HE PROVIDE FLESH FOR HIS PEOPLE . . . 40 How oft did they PROVOKE him in the wilderness, and GRIEVE him in the desert! 41 Yea, they TURNED BACK and TEMPTED God, and LIMITED THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. 42 They REMEMBERED NOT his hand, nor the day when he DELIVERED them from THE ENEMY . . . 55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 56 Yet they TEMPTED and PROVOKED the most high God, and KEPT NOT his testimonies: 57 but turned back, and dealt UNFAITHFULLY like their fathers: they were turned aside like a DECEITFUL bow” Psalms 78:1-11, 17-20, 40-42, 55-57.

“Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 harden not your hearts, as in the PROVOCATION, in the day of TEMPTATION in the WILDERNESS: 9 when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not ENTER into my rest.) 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did PROVOKE: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was he GRIEVED forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases FELL in the WILDERNESS? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, BUT TO THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT? 19 SO WE SEE THAT THEY COULD NOT ENTER IN BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF” Hebrews 3:7-19.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE OF CHRIST? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be ABLE to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD” Romans 8:35-39.

“There REMAINETH therefore a REST to the PEOPLE of God. 10 For he that is ENTERED into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us LABOUR therefore to ENTER into that REST, lest ANY man FALL after the same EXAMPLE of UNBELIEF. 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:9-13.

“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 for ever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 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 11:12-14, 20-24.
