By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST – THE ONLY GENUINE HOPE – FOR YOUR SALVATION: IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING! 

“For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17. 

“I am not ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, for it is the POWER of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in THE GOSPEL the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 (Amplified). 

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:20-21. 

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” Acts 5:20. 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a bold declaration and charge to PREACH, BELIEVE, and LIVE by THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST — because it is the ONLY GENUINE HOPE FOR SALVATION. 

  1. THE POWER AND NATURE OF THE GOSPEL

Romans 1:16-17 — For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 
Romans 1:16-17 AMP — it is the POWER of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior] 

  • THE GOSPEL is THE POWER of God. It is not mere words or religion. 
  • It is UNTO SALVATION — deliverance from sin, wrath, and punishment. 
  • It is FOR EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH — Jew and Greek, no exception. 
  • In THE GOSPEL the righteousness of God is revealed — from faith to faith and leading to faith. 
  • THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. Faith is the lifestyle the Gospel produces. 
  1. THE MANDATE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL

Romans 15:20-21 — so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation… To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand 

  • The apostolic drive was to take THE GOSPEL to new grounds — where Christ had not been named. 
  • The goal: that those who have not heard shall UNDERSTAND and those who have not been spoken to shall SEE. 

Acts 5:20 — GO, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE 

  • This is a divine command. We are to GO, STAND and SPEAK ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE — nothing withheld, nothing diluted. 
  1. THE FINAL CHARGE

THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST JESUS is God’s ONLY PLACE FOR YOUR SALVATION — in LIFE and in GODLY LIVING. 
Therefore: 

  1. Be NOT ASHAMED of it. 
  2. BELIEVE it — for salvation comes by faith. 
  3. LIVE by it — the just shall live by faith. 
  4. PREACH it — go and speak ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE. 

THE GOSPEL is your genuine hope. THE GOSPEL is God’s power. THE GOSPEL is life.

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY: HOW ABOUT SACRILEGE – THE SACRILEGIOUS ACTS! 

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that ABHORREST IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22. 

It’s very easy for anyone to credit themselves and say — I DON’T DO IDOLS or IDOLATRY. 
Meaning I have no image, picture, object, or even shrine that I go to, consult, and or make sacrifices toward. 
More so, I don’t REVERENCE and BELIEVE in any man-made gods. 

However, I hope you do not practice SACRILEGE — SACRILEGIOUS ACTS. 
What is SACRILEGE? 
It is the SHARING and PLEASURING in the spirits, gains, offerings, tokens, pleasures and such as a result of IDOLS or IDOLATORS in one’s life. 
Aiding and abetting for the gains in any form, either indirectly or directly, on matters of idols and idolatry in Scriptural context, makes one a culprit — that is SACRILEGIOUS ACTS. 

“For [God does not OVERLOOK sin and] the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness SUPPRESS and STIFLE the truth, 19 because that which is KNOWN about God is EVIDENT within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them . . . 32 Although they KNOW God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things DESERVE death, yet they not only do them, but they even PLEASURE, [ENTHUSIASTICALLY] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who practice them” Romans 1:18-32/AMP. 

I can honestly say I know both ends because I was born into THE IDOL and IDOLATRY sphere before coming to REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, thereby turning my life away from IDOLS and IDOLATRY to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily by the Holy Spirit through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN  

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, begins to share in the spirits, gains, offerings, pleasures and such like acts indirectly if not directly involved, of the practices of IDOLS or IDOLATRY, the Scripture of Romans 1:18, 32 indicates you are a PARTNER and PARTAKER of such SACRILEGIOUS ACTS – knowingly or unknowingly. Hence ignorance is not an excuse before God. 

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT: 31 because he hath APPOINTED a day, in the which he will JUDGE the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31. 

Some Examples of such SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS are these: 

Asking someone to consult a MEDIUM, SEER, WITCH, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits and SUCH LIKE on your behalf to get an ANSWER to your life quest — that’s seeking the GAINS and PLEASURES from such IDOLS — demons or the humans who ACT as COHORTS and PRINCIPALITIES in use. 
When you do such, you are invariably a PARTAKER and PARTNER of the gains and pleasures. 

Sometimes they may give you items to hold, use, and do certain things on you as INCISIONS on the body in some instances, in order to satisfy the spirits of such consultations — an entrance to hidden and unseen demonic craft and bondage. 

In some typical CULTURALIZED Communities, but not limited, lots of Festivals such as — FARMING (Yam, Cassava, Plantain etc.), FISHING (Various Assorted water creatures) and such like are held (celebrated and commemorated) to enact the year’s PRODUCE and to appease their community gods and goddesses for further years to come. 
The Community Chief Priest is REQUESTED to CONSULT the gods and goddesses of the land (community) to satisfy the needed doings or sacrifice before the START OFF to the consumption of the particular crop harvest. 
When you share in such acts, you invoke the fallen spirits (demons) of darkness — principalities and powers — assigned to that community by satan to act along in your life as he does in the community, though you are not literally involved behind the scene of appeasement and invoking to the IDOLS — gods of the land they call it. 
And geographical location or background is no exception to the operations of these spiritual demonic beings. 

Sometimes, couples are desperate to have a child or children, and some singles who feel age is not on their side in getting married, will send relatives, friends, and who they deem trustworthy to go on their behalf to make consultations to either an IDOLS priest or directly to the IDOLS, to get every necessary help. 
Such helpful consultations to obtain/make gains, is called SACRILEGE — SACRILEGIOUS ACTS. 

Sometimes, people who FEEL that their Business (Entrepreneurship), Career, position of Authority and Power (Political, Ministry, Civil Services etc.) and such like is/are not making headway as expected, will do anything to forge ahead. 
Many RESORT to SACRILEGE to settle such scores to avoid BEING known. 

Sometimes, some in haste to get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMINATIONS, WIN IN TOURNAMENTS and such like will do any DEMAND placed before them so long as their objectives are acquired. 
Many will RESORT to consultations via SACRILEGE — SACRILEGIOUS ACTS. 

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ BECOME an agent or vehicle of use to help, assist and bait people who are in difficulties by taking advantage of their vulnerability to do consultations to these IDOLS — demonic acts of darkness, the Scripture indicates that you are PLEASURING and as such practicing SACRILEGE — SACRILEGIOUS ACTS. 

All these acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and such like that are not mentioned, HAVE consequences and side effects to all who are involved, directly or indirectly in one way or another. 
And divine JUDGEMENT could be imminent or later when least expected. 

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS, IDOLATRY and SACRILEGE — SACRILEGIOUS ACTS for your own good and the good of those you care about for today and tomorrow. 
IF INDEED YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE INDEED A CHILD OF GOD’S KINGDOM IN CHRIST JESUS — KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM SACRILEGE — AND SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

God BLESS You. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22. 

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things (as SACRILEGE) are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:32 (Emphasis Mine). 

“He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:22. 

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Amplified). 

“What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21. 

“Do not turn to MEDIUMS [who pretend to consult the dead] or to SPIRITISTS [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:31. 

“As for the person who turns to MEDIUMS [who consult the dead] or to spiritists, to play the prostitute after them, I shall set My face against that person and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. . . 27 ‘A man or woman who is a medium [who pretends to consult the dead] or who is a spiritist shall most certainly be put to death, and be stoned with stones; their blood is on them.” Leviticus 20:6, 27. 

“. . . 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a MEDIUM [between the living and the dead], so that I may go to her and ask her advice.” His servants said to him, “There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor . . . ” 1 Samuel 28. 

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “CONSULT THE MEDIUMS [who try to talk to the dead] and the SOOTHSAYERS who chirp and whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE CONSULT THEIR GOD? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! IF THEIR TEACHINGS ARE NOT IN ACCORD WITH THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DAWN” Isaiah 8:18-20. 

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth DIVINATION, or an OBSERVER OF TIMES, or an ENCHANTER, or a WITCH, 11 or a CHARMER, or a CONSULTER with FAMILIAR SPIRITS, or a WIZARD, or a NECROMANCER. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do” Deuteronomy 18:10-14. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: 1 Samuel 28.  

SUMMARY: 
This is a strong Kingdom warning and teaching that not practicing IDOLATRY does not excuse SACRILEGE. 

  1. THE CORE QUESTION

Romans 2:21-22 — Thou that ABHORREST IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE? 
It is easy to say “I DON’T DO IDOLS or IDOLATRY” — no shrine, image, or man-made god. 
But the danger is SACRILEGE: SHARING and PLEASURING in the spirits, gains, offerings, tokens, and pleasures that come from IDOLS or IDOLATORS. 
Aiding and abetting, directly or indirectly, makes one a culprit — that is SACRILEGIOUS ACTS. 
Romans 1:32 AMP — they not only do them, but they even PLEASURE, ENTHUSIASTICALLY APPROVE and TOLERATE others who practice them. 

  1. PERSONAL TESTIMONY & SCRIPTURAL BASIS

The writer testifies: I was born into THE IDOL and IDOLATRY sphere before REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH in Christ Jesus Acts 20:20-21. 
Ignorance is not an excuse — Acts 17:30-31 God now COMMANDETH all men everywhere to REPENT… he hath APPOINTED a day… to JUDGE the world. 
When a BELIEVER becomes a vehicle to help others consult IDOLS, the Scripture marks you as a PARTNER and PARTAKER of SACRILEGIOUS ACTS. 

  1. EXAMPLES OF SACRILEGIOUS ACTS
    Consulting demonic agents — MEDIUMS, SEERS, WITCHES, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits Leviticus 19:31; Deuteronomy 18:10-14; Isaiah 8:19-20 
    This includes using items, incisions, or rituals as an entrance to demonic bondage. 
    Cultural/Community Festivals — FARMING, FISHING festivals to appease gods/goddesses. Participating invokes principalities and powers assigned to that community. 
    Desperation consultations — For children, marriage, business, career, politics, ministry. Sending others on your behalf to IDOL priests is still SACRILEGE. 
    Haste for gain — To get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMS, WIN TOURNAMENTS Proverbs 28:22. He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE.  
  1. THE CONSEQUENCES

All acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and not mentioned HAVE consequences and side effects to all involved, directly or indirectly. 
Divine JUDGEMENT could be imminent or later when least expected. 
1 Corinthians 10:20-21 — You cannot drink the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons. 
1 John 5:18-21 AMP — guard yourselves from IDOLS—false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART. 

  1. FINAL CHARGE

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS, IDOLATRY and SACRILEGE — for your own good and for those you care about. 
IF INDEED YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD’S KINGDOM IN CHRIST JESUS — KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM SACRILEGE.

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY 

By Leave a Comment

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY: THE SPIRITUAL, VITAL AND LEGAL TENDER TO DO LIFE AND KINGDOM BUSINESS ON EARTH! 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

FAITH is not a DOCTRINE or CREED or BYE-LAWS and such like and has NONE in it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian walk transactions; and it is imperative and important in helping us become that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God. It is a product of the Spirit and it is synergised by the Word of God (John 6:63; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11). FAITH comes at the hearing and Faith goes away at No continuous hearing of the WORD of God – meaning FAITH realisation and actualisation is dependent on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God (Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17). 

Currently in the World, the DE FACTO tender for exchange is the US Dollar. 

If one transacts business outside another nation’s acceptable legal tender — say Dollars ‘$’ for the USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for the United Kingdom and such like — your action will warrant counterfeit trafficking, and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. 

In the same scenario, there is NO single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of FAITH — for it is the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and the Earthly, in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING business affairs. 

Hence there is the NEED to WALK IN FAITH and, most importantly, CONTEND in Life FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN. 

The reason is because Faith is the VICTORY by which life warfare can be dealt with and overcome at every level of life in the world and in EARTHLY affairs. 

 (1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11). 

Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen [ 2 Corinthians 4:13, 18]. 
God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith. 
That makes the vehicle ‘FAITH’ SPIRITUAL, VITAL and LEGAL TENDER to all of life’s endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and his cohorts at bay. 

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and STEADY in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. 
All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH IS ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit. AMEN — Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3. 

“But unto every one of us is given grace according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST” Ephesians 4:7. 

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints” Jude 1:3. 

“keeping your FAITH [leaning completely on God with absolute trust and confidence in His guidance] and having a good conscience; for some [people] have rejected [their moral compass] and have made a SHIPWRECK of their FAITH” 1 Timothy 1:19 (Amplified). 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

“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 5:4-5. 

SUMMARY:

  • HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience 1 Timothy 3:9. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER
  • Romans 12:3 — God has dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH 
  • Ephesians 4:7 — Grace is given according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST 
  • Jude 1:3 — We must EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH once delivered

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, its operation 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 elsewhere.  

“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 Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify [crucify] – that’s to put to death – the lusts and affections of the FLESH – the FIVE SENSES [SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL]. Otherwise, there will be wars and infighting within oneself due to wanting desires born through cravings of a lustful spirit not ruled, governed, controlled, and led 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 indicates we need to live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit’s leads and guides, and by the context of God’s WORD, through our human spirit [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. This makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to live TRIUMPHANTLY, far above just being human, but as a supernatural being. The human spirit empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit indicates the Super Spirit of God meets the natural [human] spirit – making the SUPERNATURAL. 

You are created as a BEING. There’s no vacuum to reach out to God, be in God, or be with God in the Kingdom cause to exercise your place as a BEING of God. God operates through His WORD, and not in a vacuum.  You can’t do astral travel or astral projection with God as some may – doing so, you only contact demons, not the God of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God through His WORD as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel to exercise the sphere of a BEING. FAITH is the results from HEARING the WORD of God. Through 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 a need to FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, because in God, there’s no place for a VACUUM. This indicates that you can’t commune with God outside His WORD; otherwise, satanic interference occurs – demons occupy vacuum hearts not filled with God’s word [Matthew 12:43-45].  Communing with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is your 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’s 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, there 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 showed up with Mrs. Eve and Mr. Adam at EDEN, where they fell out in Faith [God’s WORD] with God. [Genesis 3:1-7]. 

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

Sadly, these EFFECTS are still at work, with satan and cohorts looking for who will fall to its sword [1 Peter 5:8-9]. Will you let it take root in you like many have? 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 for ever” 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 TRIUMPHED over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statement – “IT IS WRITTEN”. Meaning, The WORD TRIUMPHs, and NO WORD means NO TRIUMPH but DEFEAT, FAILURES, and REGRETS; and anything outside the WORD is 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 through the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DESIRES, DEEDS, and EFFECTS of the FLESH through lust. 

BE BLESSED. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“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 for ever” 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. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Genesis 3:1-7; Mathew 4:1-11; Luke 4 :1-13; Romans 10:6-10; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10: 23, 35-39; Galatians 3:11; Mark 11:20-24; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises living a triumphant life in Christ Jesus by walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the desires of the flesh. It highlights the importance of fellowship with God through His Word, and how Satan seeks to exploit vacuum hearts not filled with God’s Word. The five senses (SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL) can lead to lust, wars, and infighting within oneself if not governed by the Spirit. 

Key points include: 

  • Jesus triumphed over temptation using “IT IS WRITTEN” (Luke 4:1-13) 
  • Believers are created as BEINGS, not to be in a vacuum, but to operate in God’s Word  
  • FAITH comes from hearing God’s Word (Romans 10:17) 
  • Worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:19-24) 
  • Resist Satan’s schemes by walking in the Spirit (1 Peter 5:8-10) 
  • The effects of living in the flesh include lust, pride, and wars (1 John 2:15-17, James 4:1-3) 

The message encourages believers to live triumphantly by: 

  • Walking in the Spirit 
  • Crucifying the flesh with its affections and lusts (Galatians 5:16, 24-25) 
  • Fellowshipping with God through His Word 
  • Resisting Satan’s attacks
  • Trusting in God’s Word for triumph and victory.

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: IT’S By RESPONDING AND NOT BY REACTING! 

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30. 

You are RESPONSIBLE for what you BECOME by how you handle what happens to you in life day by day. You can choose to stand on  your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION through Christ Jesus stead, and in RESPONDING to matters with godly living, or you can go about REACTING – complaining, blaming, nagging, etc., thereby walking away from your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, that gives you the enabling to have leverage in an onward and upward trajectory over your challenges and difficulties irrespective of the source and cause. 

KNOW FOR CERTAINTY THAT YOUR RESPONDING MUST BE BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND MORE – OTHERWISE YOU ARE REACTING AND GOD’S WORD BECOMES INOPERATIVE FOR YOU IN THAT CONTEXT. 

Sometimes, someone might’ve brought you down to the ditch or valley you are in right now -maybe to use you for selfish gains or hurt your progress – but YOU must know you are RESPONSIBLE to rise above it.  Don’t stay in REACTING Mode, MOANING, COMPLAINING, NAGGING and even hurting yourself for nothing over the event, with no scriptural progress, just standstill and regrets. Meanwhile,  there’s a lavished opportunity to be an overcomer, triumphant, victorious, and a more than conqueror –  that’s embedded in your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION, awaiting you to turn the bad to good, to turn the mess to a message, turn test to testimony, and failure to success. 

“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 2:14. 

“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 

You can make a great DIFFERENCE in yourself when you choose to RISE UP RESPONSIBLY above your circumstances in grace. RESPONDING to life matters by your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION instead of REACTING is the lifeline to DEMONSTRATE and MAKE your DISTRACTOR wrong, and to BECOME an ACHIEVER in and through the MIDST of any situation that brought or kept you low previously. I know what I am saying, and I pray you get it right too. 

YOU CAN – RESPOND TO GROW FLOWERS OTHERWISE REACT TO GROW WEEDS – IT’S YOUR CHOICE AND YOUR CALL TO MAKE.  

You may not control your opponents’ ATTITUDES and challenges around you, but you are RESPONSIBLE for your ATTITUDES that define your ALTITUDE. Do life with your DOMINON rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, tackling MATTERS effortlessly with God’s word, standing steadfast in Christ Jesus, achieving greatness with God in an effortless condition of His grace and BLESSEDNESS toward your circumstances. 

If you MUST live in DOMINION, I say again, if you MUST live through DOMINION in REDEMPTION, you must be prepared to RESPOND in grace rather than REACT to daily circumstances driven by fleshly DEMANDS. Give no OXYGEN to the ENEMY and COHORTS and circumstances’ demands. Your realm in REDEMPTION is a mystery to all, and I hope and pray you know it for yourself without PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION.  

 RESPONDING to MATTERS under the sun with your Dominion rights and privileges in REDEMPTION makes you mature, wise, and CALCULATING – like an Eagle to the prey, taking down the ENEMY and Cohorts. You SOAR IN DOMINION IN REDEMPTION, taking circumstances unaware, in grand style. But REACTING makes you cheap, unwise, and vulnerable to circumstances, to the enemy and cohorts’ intent, making you their PREY and VICTIM – which isn’t good for you, when you OUGHT to be soaring. 

Let’s learn from our Lord Jesus’ grand STYLE, WISDOM that brought the devil and cohorts down for our DOMINON IN REDEMPTION – Our Father God offered us His graciousness, endowed and endued us lavishly with the Holy Spirit of promise in Christ Jesus – thereby enabling us to live and walk fully in life and godliness UNRESERVEDLY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY and UNCOMPROMISINGLY. 

“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are PERFECT [MATURE, WHOLE, COMPLETE]: yet not the WISDOM of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY , even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ORDAINED before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE of the PRINCES of this world KNEW: for had they KNOWN it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8. 

“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] never DISAPPOINTS us, because God’s LOVE has been abundantly POURED [LAVISHED] out within our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN [ENDOWED, ENDUED] to us” Romans 5:5. 

RESPONDING IS A MAJOR ACT TO WINNING WAYS IN LIFE – NOT BY REACTING TO PROVE A POINT. RESPONDING IS BY THE WORD – IN KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE, NOTHING MORE. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28. 

“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more DOMINION over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:8-14. 

“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 8:4-8. 

“And they sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy BLOOD out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

“But of him ARE ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14. 

“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 2:14. 

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come SALVATION, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the POWER of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they OVERCAME him by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD of their TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14. NKJV 

“In whom we have REDEMPTION through HIS BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the RICHES of His Grace” Ephesians 1:7. 

“Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:2. 

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30. 

“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises living in DOMINION IN REDEMPTION, highlighting the importance of RESPONDING in grace rather than REACTING to life’s challenges. It encourages believers to rise above circumstances, take responsibility for their attitudes, and exercise their DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION through Christ Jesus. 

Key points include: 

  • RESPONDING is a major act to winning ways in life, not by reacting to prove a point (Joshua 1:8, 2 Corinthians 2:14)  
  • Believers are endowed with the Holy Spirit and equipped to live victoriously, overcoming obstacles (Romans 5:5, John 14:30) 
  • DOMINION IN REDEMPTION enables turning bad to good, mess to message, test to testimony, and failure to success (Genesis 1:26-28) 
  • Reacting makes one cheap, unwise, and vulnerable, while responding makes one mature, wise, and calculating  
  • Jesus’ grand style and wisdom brought down the devil and cohorts, demonstrating God’s power and wisdom (Hebrews 12:2) 

Key scriptural references: 

  • Genesis 1:26-28 (dominion over creation) 
  • Joshua 1:8 (meditate on the Word for success) 
  • Romans 5:5 (God’s love poured out through the Holy Spirit) 
  • John 14:30 (Jesus’ response to the prince of this world) 
  • 2 Corinthians 2:14 (triumph in Christ) 
  • Hebrews 12:2 (Jesus, author and finisher of faith) 

The message encourages believers to RESPOND IN GROWTH, not REACT IN DEFEAT.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – “BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING”: HAVE FAITH IN GOD – FOR IN HIM PEACE REIGN AND RULE! 

“BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but in every thing by PRAYER and SUPPLICATION with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And THE PEACE OF GOD, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall keep your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7. 

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING; tell God your needs, and don’t forget TO THANK HIM FOR HIS ANSWERS. 7 If you do this, you will EXPERIENCE GOD’S PEACE, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. HIS PEACE will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 Living Bible (TLB). 

“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And THE PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 (Amplified). 

“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.

IT’S NOT EASTER – IT’S YOUR PASSOVER! HE’S RISEN!!

Achievers’ Daring Essence of Living A Resurrected Life

Shalom! I bring you REDEMPTION and kingdom greetings in the redeeming name of our PASSOVER LAMB, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. Hosanna! Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD, hosanna in the highest – Matthew 21:9. 

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free, because ones dominion, freedom and effectual faith in life is a product of ones knowledge as enacted in these scriptures – Daniel 11:3, John 8:32, Philemon 1:6 and Romans 6:14 . Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers.

Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.“

MOTHER’S DAY MARCH 2009

IF I WERE A MOTHER!

– Empowering Godly Woman To Become Achiever –

Luke 1:45 ‘’And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.’’

Prov. 14:1 ‘’Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. ‘’

Prov. 24:3-4 ‘’Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.’’

Prov. 29:15 ‘‘The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.’’

Blessed Mother Day!I bring you special and awesome greetings in the precious name of our saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in whom we live, we move and we have our being – Amen! It beholds God in His grace to call you His people – A mother, a godly woman, an achiever. It’s my prayer that by this special edition of the Achievers’ Faith Digest you might be inspired to aspire and not expire; that you might be enlightened, receive revelation and graceful empowerment by the spirit of God – to the end you might excel, your dreams and aspirations in life might be fruitful and you can be a blessing to yourself, family, humanity and posterity without hindrances. I also pray that you will find the goodwill of God to celebrate the love that the special time brings on– MOTHERS DAY!

MOTHERS DAY

Thanks to God for Mothers’ Day! For the smiles and virtues it brings on – Mothers – faces on this day. Looking through the happenings in the world today – a time supposedly to be of mans ‘great’ invention, discovery and economic empowering – has given us neither peace nor harmony but trauma in all human phases of existence. Today, killings and wars go on our streets, uncertainties in our nations, our world with political and economic instability, family unrest and breakdown, relational unfaithfulness, generational decadence, business and career setbacks etc. just to name a few. All this being is in pursuit of answers to human problems. Our world cries with great thirst and hunger, seeking for who’s – Mothers’ Child – will quench her yearnings, desires and aspirations. This is the reason that Mothers Day – a yearly set apart day to appreciate and celebrate Motherhood in the Christian faith world – which I consider to be very vital to all mankind irrespective of religious beliefs, race or generation, although dates differ in nations – March 22, ’09 in United Kingdom.

Am specially constrained by the inspiration of the blessed Holy Spirit to remind or inform you that you are – SPECIAL. Listening to the sayings of the Holy Spirit as in Luke 1:45, the Holy Spirit wants to let you know again and again that God is determined to bring to fruitfulness and fulfilment all things He has spoken to you, or is speaking or will speak to you about as you believe in His words.

To be a mother is an act of grace. Any woman can be a Mum, but only a special heartfelt woman lives beyond been a mum but – a Mother! Motherhood is special and much more vital when you are a godly woman whose earnest desire is to please God by seeing God’s purposes come to pass in your life, family and humanity. That is when your whole life totally depends on God’s guidance, not mere wishful thoughts and concepts of human ideology. Not the consideration of God as a last resort after other efforts and trials have been sorted and made outside Him as if He does not exist at all. God wants to bring about a glorious today and better tomorrow to our generation and posterity and motherhood has a very major part to play in bringing it to fruitfulness. Will you Let God?

IF I WERE A MOTHER – A godly and blessed woman

Luke 1:45 ‘’And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.’’

1 Peter 3:5 – 9 ‘’For after this manner in the old time the holy (godly) women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves . . . and as being heirs together of the grace of life . . . Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.’’

Galatians 3:13-14 ‘’Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.’’

The context scriptures above indicate one primary thing – Blessed or Blessings. The blessed mother is the woman who has entered a covenant of grace made available by our Lord Jesus Christ for all who will believe in Him. To be – Blessed – means to be empowered to: succeed, achieve, become, bring forth or bring about positive results in life. When someone says to you – be blessed or God bless or God’s blessings – they are invariably declaring you to be empowered to succeed. For the Achievers woman – Mother – is empowered by God to succeed in life endeavours as a – woman, wife and mother. It’s a fact in society that not all mothers are wives but one thing is certain they are called woman, mother to a child or children. A godly Christian woman is blessed to achieve greatness in life and have good success (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; 3John2).

The godly Christian woman – Mother- is called to inherit a blessing as found in 1 Peter 3:9. The godly Christian woman – mother – is redeemed from curses to a blessed life as in Galatians 3:13-14. The godly Christian woman is blessed simply because she is a Believer and believes in the entirety of God’s word and promises concerning her in matters of life as in Luke 1:45. If I were a mother – godly woman – I will live in the grace of God and in the consciousness of the blessedness God has afforded me in Christ Jesus as a woman – redeemed and blessed. This act of consciousness in our daily life will liberate and give freedom to you, family, church, society and all and sundry.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – Excellence in a virtuous woman

Proverb 31:10‘’ Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.’’

Proverb 31:29‘’Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.’’

Proverb 14:1 ‘’Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.’’

Proverb 24:3-4‘’Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.’’

To excel means – to do well, to achieve, to be exceptional, to surpass, above limit, to stand out or be outstanding and superior while virtue has to do with good behaviour, noble character, moral goodness and good qualities in life etc.

If I were a woman, my priority would be to use my God given blessedness in my life to excel in virtue. The proverbs thirty one woman happens to be a mother with such an outstanding virtue that is worth knowing and living for if we must bring about the desired change in our life, family and society at large. One key issue of this proverb woman is that she is not like any kind of woman but an excellent woman in virtue – Goodness. She is blessed – empowered to succeed – and she lives this out. I believe that if I was a woman, I would be the new woman for the new Church.

There is a heart cry today in families, the church and society at large for a true motherhood. Betrayers are found in homes, the church and society today where children have been abandoned and some lack proper parental care hence they live with broken spirits and emotional heartbreak. It’s become a terrible and damaging issue of life today that the rate of divorce going on in Christian FAITH life is heartbreaking when considering that the child or children involved become the victims of two elephants fighting. These acts of parental instability as a result of  – Mothers or/and Fathers – ends up damaging the child’s ability to trust in God fully in spite of the respective individual explanations which they can’t comprehend. This individualistic selfishness for whatever reasons only ends in crushing the child faith in God. Unlike the Proverbial mother whose daily effort is to excel in virtue – goodness – by the blessedness – empowerment – she has received to succeed.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – Will Pursue Grace To Excel

John 15:5 ‘’I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.’’

Ephesians 2:8-10 ‘’For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.’’

2Timothy 1:9 ‘’Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.’’

Excelling in virtue is an act of the grace of God made available to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace is God’s kindness shown towards people because He loves them; Grace is the enablement from on high which is beyond human ability. Grace is God’s free gift given to us without our involvement. GRACE is – God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. This means that for a virtuous mother to achieve and succeed, she needs the grace available from the Godhead:

2 Corinthians 13:14 ‘’’The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.’’

Excelling in virtue as a godly woman – mother – one needs to make Jesus Christ the Lord of their life; the Holy Spirit has to be your general overseer and the Father God has to be positioned to be Father indeed in all matters of doing life. Excelling in virtue is about doing life for the good of our wellbeing, family, church and society at large.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – godly, blessed & virtues woman – my passion daily will be to  pursue God continually and to ask of Him for the grace to excel in virtues in becoming as  (not like) the Proverb thirty-one woman in these respects:

1.Be VITAL as Deborah. Proverb 31:11; Judges 4 & 5.

2.Be an INTERCESSOR as Anna. Proverb 31:18b; Luke 2:36-38.

3.Be RESOURCESFUL as Dorcas. Proverb 31:11-15, 17-18; 24, 27; Acts 9:36-42.

4.Be TEMPERATE as Esther. Proverb 31:26; Esther 1-9.

5.Be UNFAILING & DEPENDABLE as Ruth. Proverb 31:11, 28; Ruth 1-4.

6.Be OPTIMISTIC & POSITIVE as Mary Magdalene. Proverb 31:16, 25; John 20:1-18.

7.Be UNIQUE, SIMPLE & ELEGANT as Mary. Proverb 31:22, 29; Luke 1:26-33.

8.Be SUBMISSIVE as Sarah. Proverb 31:15, 23, 25; Genesis 18:11-24; 1 peter 3:1-6.

9.Be WISE as Lydia. Prov. 31:16, 25; Acts 16:14-15.

10. Be an OVERCOMER as Jael. Proverb 31:25; Judges 4 & 5.

11. Be MOTHERLY as Hannah. Proverb 31:15, 21; 29:15; 22:6, 15; 23:14; 1 Samuel 1-3.

12. Be AFFECTIONATE as the Shunammite Woman. Proverb 31:20, 26; 2 Kings 4:8-37.

13. Be NICE as Abigail. Proverb 31:12; 1 Samuel 25:2-18, 23, 32.

14. Be FAITHFUL & EXEMPLARY as Lois & Eunice. Proverb 31:23; 2 Timothy 1:3-6.

Finally: IF I WERE A MOTHER – What else is there as virtue!

Galatians 2:22-23 ‘’ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.’’

Philippians 4:8 ‘’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.’’

The above scriptures in context are other great virtues which can enhance the grace for motherhood. IF I WERE A MOTHER – godly, blessed & virtues woman – I will trust in the grace of God to help me create and manifest these virtues in my day to day life, also, to help me create an atmosphere which my family and society can look up to and enjoy. For I know when I do this I will raise godly children thereby averting the shame that comes to a mother as in;

Proverbs 29:15 ‘’The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.’’

Dearly beloved Mother, I do pray that you will have a wonderful MOTHERS’ DAY not only for today being special but for the rest of your life in the empowering name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. BE ETERNALLY BLESSED!

Dare To Be A MOTHER . . . Be Empowered With VIRTUE . . . Be A Godly Woman ACHIEVER

In His World For His Glory,
