YOUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH: THE ESSENCE OF PRESERVING And BUILDING IT IN FAITH!
How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters as to – friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of silver, gold, diamond and such like. And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURED is respected, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and the enemy and cohort to their TREASURED substances are kept at bay from them.
However, we live in the times when scandals loom everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH, some as ESAU of the Old Testament are already if not have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE thereby lost his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING – Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. In some cases the defraud is enormous and people have been betrayed, blackmailed and some killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get at what they want, in high places of trust.
Unfortunately, today, some will wants to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ in their desperation for anything to keep to statuesque. Others will want to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ can’t handle just to show off, keep to pace, bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS.
Let us not forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that the life in Christ Jesus is live by the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD and not by the SENSES (hear, see, smell, taste, feel) of the human fleshy desires and instincts – Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7.
And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS to you? Consider your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have knowing full well the PATH is not of God and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18.
Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, that you MUST not go to any length for whatsoever to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING that’s living or non-living.
I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS FAITH alive – ablaze and aflame – through and through in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what come your way in this life journey. The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should emboldened you, in all the way to keep on keeping on to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world – 1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17.
Its time to take away the PRECIOUS FAITH from the VILE if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH in use to advance His cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – (Jeremiah 25:9; 1 Timothy 2:19-21).
If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit – THE HOLY GHOST – through THE WORD of God.
May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
