SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: THE NEED TO DEAL WITH THE WARNING SIGNS ON LUSTS AND AFFECTIONS – THE CRAVINGS OF THE FLESH! 

God LOVES and CARES for your total wellbeing – spirit, soul, and body. You also need to take a stand to ENSURE it is whole for your good and goodness, and to be ASSURED now and always, as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

In the current atmosphere of the internet and the multiverse multimedia world, the depraved state of human perception is undeniable by every measure. As such, there is an urgent need to ADDRESS THE WARNING SIGNS ON LUSTS AND AFFECTIONS, ANDTHE EARNEST CRAVINGS OF THE FLESH, which are affecting the total wellbeing of man: SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY. 

Hence, the SCRIPTURES mentioned and given below are worthy of all earnest reading and pondering for your emancipation by the grace of Christ Jesus stead. 

BE BLESSED 

“Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever” 1 John 2:15-17/Amplified. 

“1-2 Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You LUST for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. 2-3 You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way. 4-6 You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t CARE? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous LOVER.” And what he gives in LOVE is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble” James 4:1-6/The Message Bible. 

“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you? 2 You want what you don’t have, so you kill to get it. You long for what others have, and can’t afford it, so you start a fight to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it. 3 And even when you do ask you don’t get it because your whole aim is wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. 4 You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies—the evil pleasures of this world—makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasure of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God. 5 Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy? 6 But he gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble but sets himself against the proud and haughty. 7 So give yourselves humbly to God. RESIST the devil and he will FLEE from you” James 4:1-7/The Living Bible. 

“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 5:24-25. 

SUMMARY:
CORE MESSAGE / THESIS

The message is a call to spiritual vigilance in a depraved, multimedia age. It asserts that God is committed to the total wellbeing of man — spirit, soul, and body — but believers also have a responsibility to take a stand against lust, wrong affections, and fleshly cravings that destroy that wholeness. The only path to emancipation and assurance is through earnest engagement with Scripture and by the grace of Christ Jesus. 
KEY POINTS
The Present Crisis: A Depraved Perception

  • The internet and “multiverse multimedia world” have created an atmosphere where the depraved state of human perception is undeniable.
  • This environment fuels lusts, wrong affections, and earnest cravings of the flesh, which are actively affecting the total well-being of man.

God’s Position and Man’s Responsibility

  • God’s Part: God loves and cares for your total well-being — spirit, soul, and body. 
  • Man’s Part: You must take a stand to ensure your life is whole for your good, live with assurance, and walk godly in Christ Jesus. It is a partnership of grace and responsibility.

The Biblical Diagnosis of “Flesh” Love

  1. The Scriptures provided define the problem and the cure:
    1 John 2:15-17 — Separation from Worldliness 
    Point: Do not love the world system that opposes God. The world offers 3 things: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. None are from the Father. The world and its lusts are passing away, but obedience to God’s will endures forever. 
    Application: Lust is not from God. It is a temporary, worldly pursuit that leads away from eternal life. 
    James 4:1-6 [The Message Bible] — The Root of Conflict is Fleshly Desire 
    Point: Wars, quarrels, and violence come from selfish, inward lusts. You covet, fight, and refuse to ask God because you want your own way. This is spiritual adultery — “flirting with the world” makes you an enemy of God. 
    Application: God is a “jealous Lover” who gives greater grace to the humble. Pride resists God; humility receives grace. 
    James 4:1-7 [The Living Bible] — The Cure: Humility and Resistance 
    Point: Quarrels come from an “army of evil desires” within. You don’t have because you don’t ask God, or you ask with wrong motives — for pleasure only. Friendship with the world = enmity with God. 
    Application: God gives strength to the humble. Therefore, submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. 
    Galatians 5:24-25 — The Identity and Walk of the Believer 
    Point: Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts. If we live by the Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit. 
    Application: Emancipation is not struggle-based, but identity-based. Your new position in Christ demands a Spirit-led lifestyle. [Amplified] 

  2. The Required Response: Emancipation Through Scripture
    Hence, the Scriptures above are worthy of earnest reading and pondering. They are prescribed for your emancipation by the grace of Christ Jesus — freedom from the bondage of lust and flesh.
  3. CALL TO ACTION
    Examine: Recognise the warning signs of lust, sensual craving, and fleshly affections in your life. 
    Repent/Separate: Stop “flirting with the world” and choose friendship with God over friendship with worldly pleasures. 
    Submit & Resist: Humble yourself under God and actively resist the devil and the cravings of the flesh. 
    Walk in Identity: Live from the reality that, in Christ, the flesh has been crucified. Choose to “live in the Spirit” and “walk in the Spirit” daily. 
    Meditate: Engage the Scriptures given earnestly until they produce freedom and godly assurance. 
  1. TONE & PURPOSE

Tone: Urgent, pastoral, and prophetic. It is a warning, but also an assurance of God’s care and grace. 
Purpose: To awaken believers to the danger of lust in the digital age, to anchor them in God’s love for their whole being, and to direct them to Scripture as the means of emancipation and godly living. 

Conclusion in One Sentence: 
In a depraved multimedia culture, God’s love protects your total being, therefore you must reject fleshly lusts, submit to God, and live free by the Spirit through the Word.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – YOU ARE THE APPLE OF GOD’S EYES: LIVE IN THE CONSCIENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS! 

“Keep me [in Your affectionate care, protect me] as THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE; Hide me in the [protective] shadow of Your wings 9 From the wicked who despoil and deal violently with me, My deadly enemies who surround me” Psalms 17:8-9/Amplified. 

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14. 

“Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; SO THAT THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5. 

“Keep my commandments and live, and keep my law and teaching as THE APPLE (the pupil) OF YOUR EYE” Proverbs 7:2/AmpCE.

SCRIPTURAL PONDERING: THE EAGLE Way – DEALING WITH AN ENEMY!

SCRIPTURAL PONDERING: THE EAGLE Way – DEALING WITH AN ENEMY! 

“For though we WALK in the FLESH, we do not WAR after the FLESH: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the PULLING down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself AGAINST the KNOWLEDGE of God, and BRINGING into CAPTIVITY every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a READINESS to revenge all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is fulfilled” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. 

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning FALL from heaven. 19. Behold, I give unto you POWER to TREAD on SERPENTS and SCORPIONS, and OVER ALL the POWER of the ENEMY: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20. 

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29. HE GIVETH POWER TO THE FAINT; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 EVEN THE YOUTHS SHALL FAINT AND BE WEARY, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” Isaiah 40:28-31. 

“For which cause we FAINT not; but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is RENEWED day by day” 2 Corinthians 4:16. 

“THEY GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God” Psalms 84:7. 

“The RIGHTEOUS also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be STRONGER AND STRONGER” Job 17:9. 

“I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:13. 

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 Put on the WHOLE armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to stand AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL. 12 For we WRESTLE not AGAINST flesh and blood, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to STAND. 14 STAND therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE of righteousness; 15 and your FEET shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the SHIELD of faith, wherewith ye shall be ABLE to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the WICKED. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and the SWORD of the Spirit, which is the WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 and for me, that UTTERANCE may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

By Leave a Comment

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST! 

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified. 

There’s no geographical location or situation that can stop or prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.  

I know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency, and the medium of exchange to access the heavens from earth, and to give the heavenly permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and any day with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to SERVE others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace. 

“For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an OPPORTUNITY for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the BEST for one another” Galatians 5:13/Amplified. 

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—WITHOUT GUILE AND HYPOCRISY]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10. Be DEVOTED to one another with [authentic] BROTHERLY AFFECTION [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified. 

“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 . . . 5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED] abroad in our HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2. 

Be it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER. 

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6. 

“While the earth remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

“But covet EARNESTLY the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . . ” 1 Corinthians 12:31/1 Corinthians 13:1-13. 

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35. 

“Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:13-14. 

“Let LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” Romans 12:9-12.

WHEN AT CROSSROADS: AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that He which hath BEGUN A GOOD WORK in you will PERFORM it until the DAY of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

Are you at crossroads on defining which life PATH to follow in order to AUGUST your life well-being? I know of someone who owns life and had defined it because He had experience it too and AUGUST many innumerable life’s including mine. HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST – SAVIOUR AND LORD OF ALL

Just call on Him right now today, and you will never be the same again. The reason being that He’s the same person today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow for your well being.

“Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

Knowing this, that your secret, innermost path will define or show you up one day; and the beauty and shining light you desire of yourself today is embedded, made and defined already by the secret path of yesterday.

You can start afresh again if you failed yesterday, don’t give up for any reason at all. For God is able in Christ Jesus stead to make it all well for you again in all matters of doing life and living godly.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“For I know the THOUGHTS that I THINK toward you, says the Lord, THOUGHTS of peace and not of evil, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:28-30.

“But THE PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING light, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT day” Proverbs 4:18.

“The VOICE of him that CRIETH IN THE WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be exalted, and every MOUNTAIN and hill shall be made low: and the CROOKED shall be made straight, and the ROUGH places plain: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

“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.

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES

By Leave a Comment

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!
 
“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.
 
It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in ECONOMIC, WAR, POLITICAL and PANDEMIC state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job loses and bereavement of love ones and acquittance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodeling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do UNDERSTAND and the changes in times to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.
 
“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.
 
And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and the to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.
 
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.
 
It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within [Hebrews 11:1-3]. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – ([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.
 
My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 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 . . . 11But 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.

“Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, and ARISE from the DEAD (Idling, noise, unpreparedness), and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are EVIL (Challenging). 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS” Ephesians 5:14-17 (Emphasis Mine).

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023: MONTH TO DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S ENABLING – POWER AND GRACE!

To dare to live by God’s *POWER AND GRACE* is toward being earthly useful and heavenly mindful, in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s PURPOSE concerning you –  in life and godliness.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

Living in the fulness of God in Christ Jesus stead does not come by accident or coincidence but by the consequence of God’s WORD that’s set in REDEMPTION default-motion, to fulfil His PURPOSE, by His enabling GRACE and POWER, to enact His BLESSEDNESS toward us, in Christ Jesus stead for His PLEASURE.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive GLORY and HONOUR and POWER: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were created” Revelation 4:11.

For we are CREATED and MADE by God’s design as in all creation, for His PLEASURE. Hence all glory, honour and power are of God and for God in Christ Jesus stead as written.

** What then is God’s POWER? – It is the enabling of God to FUNCTION and PERFORM in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

** What then is God’s GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not magical or a curious act; and neither is it, mystical, occultic nor sorcery or attributes to demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places of gathering, in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes.

Therefore, know for certain that what I am sharing here is about the enabling of God that MAKES and POSITION one with DARING spirit in life, to enable one FUNCTION by God’s Spirit and might, quickening one’s inability and weakness, in order to FULFILL Gods PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLINESS. (Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4).

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation and empowerment to write more than anyone, of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attained to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE – though being a learned Lawyer under Sanhedrin, circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he hears from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTIONAL in His PURPOSE. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, if you want God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME in God’s PURPOSE, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE on God’s terms and not on yours – for your ABILITY is zero and of no consequence in matters of God, in His GRACE and POWER, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might . . .19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:10, 19.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the riches of his grace . . .11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will” Ephesians 1:3-7, 11.

“Though I might also have CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (HUMAN – ABILITY, POWER). If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the FLESH (HUMAN – ABILITY, POWER), I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, AND DO COUNT THEM but DUNG, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” Philippians 3:4-8 (Emphasis Mine).

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 but their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake BOLDLY in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY

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 on it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian walk transactions; and it’s imperative and important in helping us in becoming 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’s 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 depending 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 to exchange is the US Dollar. If one transacts business outside another nations acceptable legal tender say Dollars ‘$’ for USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for United Kingdom and such like, your action will warrant a fake trafficking and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. In the same scenario, there’s 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 its the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and 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 in every level of life in the world 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 endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and steadily steady in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH are 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.
