IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS: YOU ARE PREDESTINED TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“. . . 3 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 . . . 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: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-14. 

You have been PREDESTINATED by God’s own will in Christ Jesus, to succeed in life and grace. For to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED purposefully and meaningfully with God’s enabling grace, in order for you to SUCCEED, THRIVE, FLOURISH, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE, and such like, in all that concerns LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

I recall hearing and reading the phrase below years ago. It helped to inspire my scriptural search and thinking around Ecclesiastes 3:11, enabling and assuring my self-discovery and recovery. It is summed up in this wisdom nugget by DR MYLES MUNROE of Blessed Memory: 

“The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it… INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY… BECOME it.” — DR MYLES MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.  

This wisdom concept could be explicitly shared in the Scriptures of which Ecclesiastes 3:11 gives more lights to many as written: 

“He has made EVERYTHING beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, EXCEPT God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified. 

Stop looking for and pursuing your DESTINY – For your DESTINY is in YOU and you are your DESTINY. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for your wellbeing. Rise up, look within and become the you in you that God has MADE wonderfully and reverentially to succeed in life and grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“. . . For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your BOOK ALL THE DAYS [OF MY LIFE] WERE WRITTEN before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them . . .” Psalms 139:1-18/AMP Classic Edition. 

You have to give meaning to the quest and voice of your inner being. The quest and voice within you could be that of the most sought-after Carpenter, Plumber, Teacher, Educator, Carer, Leader, Administrator, Minister, Medical Professional, Politician, Events Organiser, Baker, Farmer, Painter, Engineer, Technologist, Social Worker, Designer, Decorator, Scientist, Salesperson, and such like — that your Community and your World are craving to have in order to meet their human needs. 

Know this: for such there is an unction within you to function. And though your beginning may be little, your latter end could be the answer to the quest and needs of humanity, when you give it a start. 

Explore these Scriptures meditatively and let the Holy Spirit minister to your inner being for your wellbeing and the good of others, in grace, through your quest and exploring — 1 John 2:20, 27; Job 8:7; Zechariah 4:10. 

Your Family, Community, Nation and World are all waiting for your revealing — the manifestation of the you that is within you. Romans 8:19 

You have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME – Stop running about for SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS. You are carrying your destiny within you. Don’t blame others for your irresponsible decision not to look within and explore to become. 

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO BECOME IT. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.  

“The Creator hid your future where He knew you could not miss it . . . INSIDE you. Don’t go to your destiny . . . BECOME it” – DR Myles MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME. Also He has put ETERNITY (PURPOSE/DESTINY) in their HEARTS (HUMAN SPIRIT), except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Emphasis Mine). 

“But there is a SPIRIT in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God has MADE me, 

And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES me life [which inspires me]” Job 33:4 (Amplified). 

The SPIRIT (conscience) of man is the LAMP of the Lord, SEARCHING and EXAMINING all the INNERMOST parts of his being” Proverbs 20:27 (Amplified). 

“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 . . . 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: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12. 

“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. 

“For all the PROMISES of God IN HIM ARE YEA, and IN HIM AMEN, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now he which STABLISHETH US with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED US, is God; 22 who hath also SEALED US, and GIVEN THE EARNEST OF THE SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22. 

“But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.  

SUMMARY: 
This message is about identity, destiny, and purpose rooted in grace. It declares that God has already positioned, empowered, and equipped you in Christ to become all He purposed, and that your destiny is not something you chase externally — it is deposited within you by the Spirit. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. YOUR IDENTITY: PREDESTINATED, CHOSEN, ANDBLESSEDIN CHRIST 

From Ephesians 1:3-12, you were CHOSEN before the foundation of the world and PREDESTINATED unto adoption by Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will. 
To be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED with God’s enabling grace to SUCCEED, THRIVE, FLOURISH, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and such like, in all that concerns LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 
Romans 8:28-30 confirms the chain: Foreknown → Predestinated → Called → Justified → Glorified. You are sealed, anointed, and established in Christ 2 Corinthians 1:20-22. 

  1. YOUR DESTINY IS WITHIN YOU: STOP CHASING, START BECOMING

Quoting DR MYLES MUNROE: “The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it… INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY… BECOME it.” 
Ecclesiastes 3:11 explains this: God has put ETERNITY — a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE in the human heart. 
The call is to stop pursuing destiny as if it is outside you. Your destiny is in you. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop blaming others. Rise up and become the you that God MADE wonderfully and reverentially Psalm 139:13-16. 

  1. THE INNER UNCTION: PURPOSE FOR SERVICE AND HUMANITY

The quest and voice within you may be for Carpenter, Teacher, Leader, Medical Professional, Engineer, Social Worker, and such like — vocations your Community and World are craving to meet human needs. 
1 John 2:20,27; Job 8:7; Zechariah 4:10 are given for meditation. 
Know this: there is an unction within you to function. Though your beginning may be small, your latter end can answer the needs of humanity when you give it a start. Job 8:7 
Your Family, Community, Nation and World are waiting for the manifestation of the you that is within you Romans 8:19.  

  1. THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD: SOURCE OF REVELATION AND UNDERSTANDING

God reveals destiny by His Spirit: “But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 
Job 32:8, Job 33:4, Proverbs 20:27 affirm that the Spirit of God, the breath of the Almighty, and the lamp of conscience give understanding and search the innermost parts. 
You do not need to “fake it to become it”. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD. 

  1. THE CHARGE

Stop running about for SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE for your well-being. 
Take responsibility, look within, and walk in what God has already PREPARED Ephesians 1:11, 1 Corinthians 2:9.

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

This is a prophetic exhortation that because you are predestinated, blessed, and empowered in Christ, your destiny and purpose are already planted within you by God. Therefore, cease external striving, yield to the Spirit, give expression to the unction within, and become what God has made you to be — for the glory of God and the blessing of the world. 

REV. CHUKIE MORSI

BLESSED [EMPOWERING] SUNDAY/ANY OTHER DAY OF WORSHIP 

By Leave a Comment

BLESSED [EMPOWERING] DAY OF WORSHIP: IT’S THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS CHURCH! 

“For we [who ARE born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, set apart for His purpose and] ARE the true circumcision, who WORSHIP in the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult in Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we have or who we are] in the flesh” Philippians 3:3/Amplified. 
 
You ARE God’s Church, being built up in grace through faith; and by love and hope in Christ Jesus’ stead you can stand assured in glory and virtue. 

And I want you to know that church services in any place called for the gathering of God’s people are necessary; but the Church, as you are, is the gathering to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in spirit and in truth, in Christ Jesus, in grace. Anything contrary to this is religion, religiosity, sectarianism, denominational indoctrination, and such like.  

“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 4:23-24. 

There is the need to be ALWAYS in the gathering of God’s gracious, precious and blessed people for the inspiring, revealing and empowering of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“And let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, 25 not FORSAKING OUR MEETING TOGETHER [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT OF SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25/Amplified. 

Do not be a LONE Church, otherwise you are making yourself vulnerable and exposed to dangers known and unknown. For there is an enemy and his cohorts of the faith who will spare nothing to make prey and victims of a lone Church.  

“. . . This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and The Church . . .” Ephesians 5:32 [21-33]. 

Be intentional and pragmatic to find yourself a place called THERE — [the gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people] — to worship and serve the Father God together by the Holy Spirit, through the Word, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Meaning: a people of like precious faith, believing in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead, under a Shepherd. 

“Obey your [spiritual] leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account [of their stewardship of you]. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you” Hebrews 13:17/Amplified. 

Note: I wrote “under a Shepherd”. Do not be a sheep without a known shepherd who can give account for your soul, in good times and challenging times. For the Church is defined as an individual, local and universal body of born-again, Spirit-filled — [Spirit-ruled and Spirit-led] — believers in God, in Christ Jesus, under a Shepherd, in grace.  

“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens [outsiders without rights of citizenship], but you are fellow citizens with the saints (God’s people), and are [members] of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the [chief] Cornerstone” Ephesians 2:19-21. 

It is my earnest PRAYER that you find a place called THERE — the gathering of God’s people — into which you can humbly walk to worship and serve the Father God in Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, through the Word, without sentiment, prejudice or dissimulation. I therefore 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 those who are sanctified. Amen. Acts 20:32 

May God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS rest upon you as you have found yourself a place as God’s Church, in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“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” Romans 8:28. 

“Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; 24 and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, 25 not FORSAKING OUR MEETING TOGETHER [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT OF SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:23-25. 

“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Psalms 16:11; Matthew 16:18-19. 

SUMMARY: 
This message of declaration is about identity, gathering, and worshiping in the Spirit . It calls believers back to the biblical understanding of the Church as people, not just a place or programme, and to the necessity of corporate fellowship for empowerment, protection, and growth. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST: THE TRUE CHURCH

You ARE God’s Church. You are born-again, spiritually transformed, set apart for His purpose. Philippians 3:3 
The Church is defined as the individual, local and universal body of born-again, Spirit-filled, Spirit-ruled and Spirit-led believers in God, in Christ Jesus, under a Shepherd, in grace. Ephesians 2:19-21 
This is a mystery concerning Christ and the Church Ephesians 5:32. Your blessedness and inheritance are SEATED in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

  1. THE PURPOSE OF GATHERING: WORSHIP AND SERVICE IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

While church services for the gathering of God’s people are necessary, the Church itself is the gathering to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY John 4:23-24. 
This worship must be in spirit and in truth, not in religion, religiosity, sectarianism, denominational indoctrination, or dissimulation. Anything contrary to this is mere religion. 
The call is to be intentional and pragmatic to find “THERE” — the gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people of like precious faith, under a Shepherd. 

  1. THE NECESSITY AND POWER OF FELLOWSHIP

There is a need to be ALWAYS in the gathering of God’s gracious, precious and blessed people. Hebrews 10:24-25 
Why? For the inspiring, revealing and empowering of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
We are called unto the FELLOWSHIP of His Son Jesus Christ 1 Corinthians 1:9. We are not to forsake meeting together, but to encourage one another in love and good deeds, all the more as the day approaches. 
To be a LONE Church is to be vulnerable and exposed to dangers known and unknown, because the enemy seeks to make prey and victims of isolated believers. 

  1. SHEPHERDING AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Do not be a sheep without a known shepherd who can give account for your soul in good times and challenging times Hebrews 13:17. 
Spiritual leaders keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Therefore, submit to them and obey, that they may do it with joy. 
We have come to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn registered in heaven Hebrews 12:22-24. 

  1. THE BENEDICTION: COMMENDED TO GRACE

It is the earnest prayer that you find a place to humbly walk into to worship and serve the Father God by the Holy Spirit, through the Word. 
You are commended to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among the sanctified Acts 20:32. 
May God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS rest upon you as you have found yourself a place as God’s Church, in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

In one sentence: 
This is a prophetic call to know your identity as God’s Church, to prioritise Spirit-and-truth fellowship under a Shepherd, to reject empty religion, and to be built up in grace so you walk in the BLESSEDNESS and purpose to which God has called you.

AFD AUGUST 2026

WELCOME TO MONTH AUGUST 2026: MONTH TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW IN THE GRACE! 

“. . . 2 For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [THE LAW OF OUR NEW BEING] has SET YOU FREE from the LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH . . .” Romans 8:1-17/Amplified. 

You are specially welcomed to Month Eight [8], the month of August 2026, in the fulness and living name of the one true and holy and Triune God: The Father, The Word – the person of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit [1 John 5:7/2 Corinthians 13:14]. And the month of August is themed and otherwise entitled: FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW! Signifying: “Ensuring Our REDEMPTION and FREEDOM By The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus’ Stead” 

The Month of AUGUST, being the eighth month of the year and thus representing a new beginning, is the eighth month of both the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars, and one of the seven months that has 31 days. The name AUGUST thus creates an inspiring, revealing and empowering context of grace, as to being SANCTIFIED. And to be SANCTIFIED is to set apart for uniqueness and class – as a person for: REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDEUR AND LORDLINESS.  

And by reason of the Month 0f August theme: FREEDOM BY THE LAW HIGHER LAW, it will take THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS to ensure, assure and actualise any act to AUGUST one’s life in the stead of grace – as to being DIGNIFIED, as to being REVERED, as to being ADMIRED, as to being MAJESTIC, as to being EMINENT, as to being VENERABLE, as to being GRAND, as to being LORDLY and such like that embody the act to august in life and grace. 

The context of the higher law can be likened to gravitational pull being overcome by the law of upthrust that enables an aircraft to fly against gravity and be sustained in the air for as long as the overcoming thrust is applied. That same principle allows a ship, cruise liner and such like to express buoyancy on water without sinking in respect to the gravitational pull. And in the same manner, there is a higher law – the law of the Spirit of life – that is a default in grace to enable the believer in God and in Christ Jesus to live above the law of SIN and DEATH whose effects are: CONDEMNATION, POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, which result in both physical and eternal death. That is what the book of Romans, in setting the stage for this month writ enjoins us with in this knowledge: 

“Therefore there is NOW NO CONDEMNATION [NO GUILTY VERDICT, NO PUNISHMENT] for those who ARE in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [THE LAW OF OUR NEW BEING] has SET YOU FREE from the LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH. 3 For what the Law could not do [that is, OVERCOME SIN and REMOVE ITS PENALTY, ITS POWER] being weakened by the flesh [man’s nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son], 4 so that the [righteous and just] requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not live our lives in the ways of the flesh [guided by worldliness and our sinful nature], but [live our lives] in the ways of the Spirit [guided by His power] . . . 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you . . .” Romans 8:1-17/Amplified. 

The law of Sin and death is the law of the flesh, built upon the mosaic Law that resulted from the consequences of the fall in Eden. And in each case there are curses and blessings. But the blessings are conditional. But by reason of the higher law – which is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – complete, total, and whole FREEDOM is now made available to all who come to God in Christ Jesus’ stead. That is why the book of Galatians, chapter five, in this writ has enjoined us to do this: 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 4 You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing]. 5 For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation]. 6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love . . . 13 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 . . . 16 But I say, walk HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law” Galatians 5:1-18/Amplified. 

Through the cause of this month August, I will be laying reasons, why you must intentionally resolve and be pragmatic, to live above the knowledge of the law of Sin and Death, the Higher Law, which is of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus stead. For it’s your redemption freedom month, to actualised FREEDOM and ensure it in every phase of doing life and living godly in the grace. 

And in the course of the Month, the ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST [AFD], the Monthly TEACHING Magazine, for month August 2026, will be available with all the minor and fuller detailed writ for you to explore and enact as you do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

You are therefore welcomed to the Month August 2026 – your month in the grace to AUGUST [Dignify, Honour, Noble, Revered and more], your life in REDEMPTION FREEDOM, by THE HIGHER LAW – The LAW of The Spirit of LIFE [LIFE-GIVING] in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. It is your time to ensure FREEDOM by THE WORD and PRAYER in connectivity with the great God who lives in us. 

Join me in all LIVE EVENTS through this month via the CEFMORSI APP, YouTube Live and ZOOM VIRTUAL MEETINGS. God CARES and LOVES you in Christ Jesus, and so do I, in His stead, in the grace. 

 WELCOME AGAIN TO THE MONTH AUGUST: Month of FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW! 

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING & PONDERING ON CONTEXT: 

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” John 14:6 

“As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you ABIDE [CONTINUE] in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it . . .14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and TRUTH . . . 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17. 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me FREE from THE LAW of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh . . . 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also GIVE LIFE to your MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you . . .14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God . . . 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together” Romans 8:1-17. 

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by THE LAW. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor” Galatians 3:10-25. 

“12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) . . . 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 4 You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing]. 5 For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation]. 6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love . . . 13 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 . . . 16 But I say, walk HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law” Galatians 5:1-18/Amplified. 

“. . . For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:1-13. 

SUMMARY: 

This is a prophetic, doctrinal and pastoral charge for August 2026. It establishes that true Kingdom living and prosperity is only possible by operating under THE HIGHER LAW — THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, which sets the believer free from THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

KEY POINTS OF THE MESSAGE

  1. THE MONTH AND ITS MEANING
  • August is Month 8: Represents new beginning and sanctification. 
  • The name AUGUST: Carries a grace-context of being set apart for REVERENCE, DIGNITY, MAJESTY, EMINENCE, VENERATION, GRANDEUR and LORDLINESS. 
  • Theme: FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW — “Ensuring Our REDEMPTION and FREEDOM By The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus’ Stead” 
  1. THE TWO LAWS CONTRASTED
  • THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH: 
  • The law of the flesh, built on the Mosaic Law, resulting from the fall in Eden. 
  • Operates with curses and conditional blessings. 
  • Produces: CONDEMNATION, POVERTY, SICKNESS, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL DEATH Romans 8:2. 
  • THE HIGHER LAW — LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE: 
  • The default in grace for the believer in Christ Jesus. 
  • Illustrated like upthrust overcoming gravity, or buoyancy overcoming sinking. 
  • Result: Complete, total and whole FREEDOM Romans 8:2, Galatians 5:1. 
  • Romans 8:1-4, 11: No condemnation. The Spirit gives life to mortal bodies. God condemned sin in the flesh through Christ. 
  1. BIBLICAL FOUNDATION FOR FREEDOM
  • Romans 8: We are not to walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. As many as are led by the Spirit are sons of God and heirs with Christ. 
  • Galatians 5:1-18: We were called to FREEDOM. We must “stand firm” and not return to slavery. We are to “walk habitually in the Spirit” and not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Faith works through love. 
  • Galatians 3:10-25: Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law. The Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 
  • John 8:31-32; John 14:6; John 1:1-17: Truth makes free. Jesus is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE. Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ. 
  1. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
  • Freedom is not automatic. It must be ensured, assured and actualised. 
  • The Law could not overcome sin because it was weakened by the flesh. God did it through Christ Romans 8:3. 
  • Righteousness is now by faith, not by works of the Law Romans 10:4-10. 
  • Freedom is not license. “Do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another” Galatians 5:13. 
  1. AUGUST AS A REDEMPTION FREEDOM MONTH
  • It is a time to AUGUST your life — to dignify, honour, and cause your life to be revered. 
  • This happens by living above the knowledge and effects of the law of sin and death.

    CALL TO ACTION
  1. RESOLVE INTENTIONALLY 
    Be pragmatic this month. Decide to live above the law of sin and death by submitting to the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  2. ENSURE FREEDOM BY 2 INSTRUMENTS 
    THE WORD + PRAYER 
    Abide in the Word. “If you continue in My word… the truth shall make you free” John 8:31-32. 
    Stay in connectivity with the great God who lives in us. 
  3. WALK HABITUALLY IN THE SPIRIT 
    Galatians 5:16,18. Be responsive to His guidance daily so you do not fulfil the desires of the flesh. You are not subject to the Law when led by the Spirit. 
  4. EXPLORE THE MONTHLY RESOURCE 
    The ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST [AFD] — August 2026 Teaching Magazine will carry the minor and fuller detailed writ. Explore it and enact it as you do life and live godly. 
  5. JOIN CORPORATE GATHERINGS 
    Participate in all LIVE EVENTS through the month via: 
    CEFMORSI APP | YouTube Live | ZOOM VIRTUAL MEETINGS 
  6. STAND FIRM IN YOUR IDENTITY 
    You are redeemed, justified, and free. You are an heir of God and joint-heir with Christ Romans 8:17. Do not return to bondage. 

FINAL BENEDICTION

WELCOME AGAIN TO THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2026: MONTH OF FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW! 
God CARES and LOVES you in Christ Jesus, and so do I, in His stead, in the grace. Amen. 

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus. 

 

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED 

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED: AND IT’S BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD AND NOT BY METHODS! 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17. 

There is an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

However, in life we are faced daily by THE POWER OF CHOICE . . . and that is to BECOME by THE WORD of God, or by our fleshly self-made belief, or by man-made religious secularism or sectarianism and such like. 

For God’s WORD is IRREVOCABLE in all His promises . . . 
Hence, to BECOME in that desired yearning of your heart by the enabling power of self-choice in IGNORANCE of THE WORD of God is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE, DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. 

Therefore, SELAH — PAUSE and THINK. 
IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE [UNEASE] place and position that is worse than any cancerous disease — which God abhors and once winked at. [Acts 17:30-31] 
For it breeds stupidity, foolishness and arrogance. 
For by IGNORANCE, many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, have ended up in the graveyards UNFULFILLED. 
And those who by chance have amassed anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place of unproductivity, as it is thus written: 

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (IGNORANCE, FOOLISHNESS, STUPIDITY, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine. 

In life as a child of God, you can only RECOVER and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you DISCOVER the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING of THE WORD of God. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:2 which states: 

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it”. 

The Scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ” but rather that “he MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. 
Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances about you. 

The principle there is this: that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory direction. That is to say, to obtain the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage [Marital-Relationships], Friendship-Relationship and such like. 

If otherwise you RUN before you READ to know and understand the road map of your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, then FAILURE awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. 

It is because of their RUNNING by mere zeal or passion without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. 

Simply know for the truth that a good understanding breeds favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness, as it is written:  

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (IGNORANCE) is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, STRESSFUL)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine). 

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING. 

THE POWER OF CHOICE – To BECOME By The WORD Is BLESSEDNESS . . . And To BECOME By IGNORANCE Is DEADLY. 

Have a graceful and blessed day. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17. 

“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. 

 
SUMMARY: 
You were BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED. But it will not happen by zeal, passion, or man-made systems. It happens BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD. 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: KNOW THE WORD AND THE POWER OF GOD

Matthew 22:29 — “Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” 
Error, mistakes, and powerlessness come from ignorance of the Word. 
God has an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in Christ Jesus’ stead. But you access it through the Word. 

  1. THE DAILY REALITY: THE POWER OF CHOICE

Every day you face a choice of how you will BECOME: 

BY THE WORD of God — God’s promises are IRREVOCABLE 

By fleshly self-made belief 

By man-made religious secularism, sectarianism, and such like 

To choose to become by IGNORANCE of THE WORD is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE, DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. 

  1. THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE

IGNORANCE is called a DIS-EASE [UNEASE]. It is worse than any cancerous disease and is what God abhors — Acts 17:30-31. 
What ignorance produces: 

  • Stupidity, foolishness and arrogance 
  • Unfulfilled talents, vision, dreams and aspirations that end up in the graveyard 
  • Unproductivity even if anything is amassed by chance 
  • Proverbs 21:16* — “The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD” 
  1. THE DIVINE PRINCIPLE: READ BEFOREYOURUN 

From Habakkuk 2:2 — “WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it” 
The order is not “He that runs may read”. It is “he MAY RUN that READS”. 
Meaning: NO READING, NO RUNNING. 

Why? 
Reading gives you KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT. That gives you clarity to WALK IN WISDOM before you run in: 
Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage, Friendship and every area of life. 

If you RUN before you READ, FAILURE awaits. Many have become victims of their own creations because they ran with zeal and passion but without knowing and understanding the fulness of their vision. 

Proverbs 13:15 — “GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [IGNORANCE] is HARD” 
Good understanding produces favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness.  

  1. THE CALL TO ACTION: RE-EVALUATE AND CHOOSE WISELY

Colossians 4:17 — “TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” 
Today the charge is: make amends. RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING. 

THE POWER OF CHOICE: 
To BECOME BY THE WORD is BLESSEDNESS 
To BECOME BY IGNORANCE is DEADLY 

IN ONE SENTENCE: 
God has ordained you for daily triumph and fulfilment, but you must choose the Word over ignorance, because success in every area of life only comes by reading, knowing, and understanding the principles of the Word before you run — otherwise zeal without knowledge leads to failure and unproductivity.

WISDOM – THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE 

By Leave a Comment

WISDOM – THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IS THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE: THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL [PASSION], KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING LIFE PURPOSE! 

“If the AXE is DULL and he does NOT SHARPEN its edge, then he must EXERT more strength; but WISDOM [to SHARPEN the AXE] helps him SUCCEED [with LESS effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified 

Wisdom is PROFITABLE to DIRECT when one sharpens his life with knowledge. 
For godly wisdom is the application of godly knowledge. 
And godly knowledge is a consequence of godly INFORMATION — of being informed. 
When rightly applied with understanding of the context in question, it gives godly DIRECTION. 

For an informed, wise person makes informed, wise judgments and decisions. 
He feels no evil, imagines no evil, and thinks no evil in times of pressure and in judgment. 

“Who is as the WISE man? and who KNOWETH the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall FEEL NO EVIL thing: and a WISE man’s heart discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5. 

Therefore, I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. 
For SELAH is to PAUSE AND THINK — probably over the header, the content, and the context as you read along. 

And godly wisdom — the application of godly knowledge — is the essence of grace and virtue in all that pertains to doing earthly life and living godly toward the heavenly cause, by God’s divine enabling nature and power for the believing one in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

So, pause and think as it is written: 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to GLORY and VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4. 

Know for sure and certain, that while there is a time to SOAR IN DOMINION, there is also a place of PASSION [ZEAL], KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in life that is worth proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully — in the wisdom of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

You need to have the perspective of each context respectively in order to apply your heart to the path of wisdom. 

For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being, to ensure your God-given BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead is profitable, as it is written:  

“If the AXE is DULL and he does NOT SHARPEN its EDGE, then he must EXERT MORE STRENGTH; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him SUCCEED [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified. 

LET US CONSIDER THE CONTEXT OF – PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – IN THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATIVE PERSPECTIVE TO WISDOM: 

THE CONCEPT OF PASSION 
Passion, meaning Zeal, is a strong feeling — being intensely emotional about something. It is the vitality to our life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. 

However, mere passion — being passionate or zealous about something — is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose, and Pursuit. 
One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity was full of COMPASSION [PASSIONATE] in all His ways of doing life to meet human needs. Matthew 15:32; Hebrews 5:1-10 
Although it is possible to be passionate about something without compassion, you cannot have compassion without being passionate to see the passion through. 

It therefore also means that being passionate about something with compassion — Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more — can only be meaningful when there is added KNOWLEDGE to that desired PASSION. 

And this is simply why: 
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL [PASSION] of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).  

THE CONCEPT OF KNOWLEDGE 
KNOWLEDGE is the information we feed into our being that defines our response to various matters in our doing life and living godly. 
And knowledge in context is not very much appreciated until you have experienced the effect of IGNORANCE — leading to stupidity and foolishness. 

It is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results. 

One of the great High Priestly PRAYERS of Jesus Christ while in humanity was for us to KNOW the Father God — John 17:3. 
And He was so concerned about those that believe in Him to KNOW the TRUTH also — John 8:30-32. 
He equally challenged the religious sectarians and bigots of His days to KNOW the Scriptures in order for them to KNOW the power of God accordingly, otherwise they would keep living a mistaken and erroneous life — Matthew 22:29. 

It thus means that the KNOWING of the context of a thing is important to evade ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and erroneous transmission of information. 

However, as good and important as KNOWLEDGE is, it is not enough to get stalled in knowledge. There is the need for UNDERSTANDING of that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. 
For mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffs up — meaning it breeds PRIDE and ARROGANCE — and it is a dangerous place to be before God in all ramifications, because God resists the PROUD and ARROGANT in totality — James 4:5-7; Proverbs 15:25; Proverbs 16:5. 

Hence, to safeguard against pride and arrogance that a mere having of ONLY KNOWLEDGE can produce, be wise to add UNDERSTANDING to KNOWLEDGE, as in this scriptural admonition: 
“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).  

THE CONCEPT OF UNDERSTANDING 
The UNDERSTANDING of what you KNOW and are PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for doing the life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. 

Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to attain a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, and FULFILLING lifestyle in our cause of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

Our Lord Jesus had to ask two people He met on the way after His resurrection, as He walked with them, if they understood what they were discussing — even though they knew the scriptural context of what they were discussing on the road to Emmaus. 
And since they knew the context but did not understand the context, He then expounded the Scriptures to their understanding, and their spiritual eyes were illuminated and enlightened — Luke 24:1-27. 

Hence, there is the need to get UNDERSTANDING to help us make right decisions, which is wisdom — the bedrock and hallmark to living victoriously, as enjoined: 
“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with all thy GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine). 
 
IN SUMMARY: 
When you measure your passionate life as expected of you to have as a living being in any field of doing life with KNOWLEDGE — and you enhance that knowledge with UNDERSTANDING in context to the matter of life — there is no force on earth that can stop you in any endeavour, no matter how long it takes to deal with the circumstances in the context of time. 

Be wise to walk in WISDOM — PASSIONATE KNOWING [KNOWLEDGE] + UNDERSTANDING, for it makes you a winner, victor, overcomer, triumphant, and MORE THAN A CONQUEROR in the battlefield of life — any day, any time, and anywhere. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have COMPASSION on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way” Matthew 15:32 (Mark 8:2). 

“. . . 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had COMPASSION on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him . . .” Matthew 18:21-35. 

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE in my word, then are ye my DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to shine, and the BOLDNESS of his FACE shall be CHANGED” Ecclesiastes 8:1. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the dead” Proverbs 21:16. 

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth favour: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15. 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERROR, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. 

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6. 

“Therefore my people are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15. 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a teaching on the divine formula for fulfilling life purpose: WISDOM, which is the APPLICATION OF GODLY KNOWLEDGE through PASSION [ZEAL] and UNDERSTANDING. Without all three working together, life becomes dull, wasted effort, and vulnerable to ignorance, pride, and bondage. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT LIFE
    Wisdom sharpens the axe — “WISDOM [to SHARPEN the AXE] helps him SUCCEED [with LESS effort]” [Ecclesiastes 10:10]. 
    Godly Wisdom = The application of godly knowledge. 
    Godly Knowledge = A consequence of godly INFORMATION — being informed. 
    When applied with understanding, it gives godly DIRECTION. 
    Result of wisdom: A wise person makes informed judgments, feels no evil, and “discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” [Ecclesiastes 8:5]. His face shines with boldness [Ecclesiastes 8:1]. 
    Divine source: “His DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him” [2 Peter 1:2-3]. We become partakers of the divine nature through it. 
  2. THE THREE PILLARS TO FULFILL PURPOSE
    You need all three in balance. One without the others leads to frustration. 

    THE CONCEPT OF PASSION [ZEAL]
    Definition: A strong, intense feeling. The vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. 
    Not enough alone: Mere zeal without knowledge leads to error. “They have a ZEAL of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE” [Romans 10:2]. 
    Must have Compassion: Jesus was full of COMPASSION [PASSIONATE] to meet human needs [Matthew 15:32]. You can be passionate without compassion, but you cannot have compassion without passion. 
    Applies to all: Career, Marriage, Ministry, Leadership, Governance etc. Passion + Compassion must be enhanced by knowledge. 

    THE CONCEPT OF KNOWLEDGE
    Definition: The information we feed into our being that defines our response to life. 
    Why it matters: Ignorance leads to stupidity and foolishness. “My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE” [Hosea 4:6]. “No KNOWLEDGE = CAPTIVITY” [Isaiah 5:13]. 
    Jesus emphasised it: Prayed we KNOW the Father [John 17:3], KNOW the Truth to be free [John 8:31-32], and KNOW the Scriptures and power of God [Matthew 22:29]. 
    Danger: Mere knowledge without understanding PUFFS UP — breeds PRIDE and ARROGANCE. “God resists the PROUD” [James 4:6]. “KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” [1 Corinthians 8:1]. 

    THE CONCEPT OF UNDERSTANDING
    Definition: The ability to grasp what you know and are passionate about. It is the key to WISDOM. 
    Why it matters: Without understanding there is struggle. “The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the dead” [Proverbs 21:16]. “Good UNDERSTANDING giveth favour” [Proverbs 13:15]. 
    Jesus modelled it: On the road to Emmaus, He expounded Scriptures so their understanding and spiritual eyes were enlightened [Luke 24:27]. 
    Command: “WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with all thy GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” [Proverbs 4:7].  
  1. THE FORMULA FOR VICTORIOUS LIVING
    WISDOM = PASSIONATE KNOWING [KNOWLEDGE] + UNDERSTANDING
    When you apply this: 
  1. You fulfill purpose meaningfully in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  2. You apply your heart to the path of wisdom for God-given BLESSEDNESS. 
  3. You become a winner, victor, overcomer, triumphant, and MORE THAN A CONQUEROR in the battlefield of life.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER 

  1. Compassion in Action: “I have COMPASSION on the multitude” [Matthew 15:32]. “Shouldest not thou also have had COMPASSION on thy fellowservant?” [Matthew 18:33] 
  2. Knowledge brings Freedom: “ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” [John 8:32] 
  3. Consequences of No Knowledge: Destruction [Hosea 4:6], Captivity [Isaiah 5:13], Error [Matthew 22:29] 
  4. Wisdom changes you: “a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to shine” [Ecclesiastes 8:1] 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. SHARPEN YOUR AXE WITH KNOWLEDGE — Be informed by God’s Word. Don’t live by zeal alone or by ignorance. 
  2. ADD UNDERSTANDING TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE — Don’t get stalled in head knowledge. Ask God to give you insight so knowledge doesn’t puff you up. 
  3. LET PASSION BE FUELED BY COMPASSION — Be zealous but let it be to meet needs and glorify God, not self. 
  4. APPLY WISDOM DAILY — In every PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT, use PASSION + KNOWLEDGE + UNDERSTANDING to make decisions. This is how you “SOAR IN DOMINION” and fulfill purpose. 
  5. GUARD YOUR HEART — Avoid pride, arrogance, and error. Walk in humility before God’s divine power. 

DECLARATION: 
WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING. 
GET WISDOM.  GET UNDERSTANDING. 
Walk in PASSIONATE KNOWING + UNDERSTANDING and you cannot be stopped.

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S THE LIFE THAT WORKS IN YOU – MAKING ALL THE DIFFERENCE! 

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified. 

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS TODAY — for it is the LIFE that makes in you all the DIFFERENCE for today and tomorrow, knowingly and unknowingly. 

For you are more like a THERMOSTAT in Christ Jesus and not a THERMOMETER in functionality, by the ETERNAL LIFE within you. 

The knowing that you are beautifully, wonderfully and fearfully — reverently made by God [Psalm 139:14], and that you are in POSSESSION of His in-built ETERNITY — an eternal spirit — within you, makes all the difference in you today and tomorrow — [Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMP]. 

And the knowing and understanding that this ETERNITY in-built POSSESSION of God is in your being should be the most awesome, gracious and graceful possession in your wellbeing of doing life and living godly day by day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

For you are a spirit-being, having a soul, living in a HUMUS — that is the body — which makes you a HU-MAN BEING, as in the Holy writ of 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13. 
It is the MAN in your HU-MAN that makes the being — that’s the spirit being. 
It is non-gender, non-colour, non-race, and non-tongue, and unlimited by geographical location. 
And it dwells in all beings — BELIEVERS and UNBELIEVERS alike — leading either to heaven or hell. 
And it is God’s ESSENCE in every human being, irrespective — [Proverbs 20:27; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. 

When you receive Christ into your life, you receive the very life of God called — ETERNAL LIFE [ZOE in Greek] — [John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:11-12]. 
And Jesus PRAYED along that line for you too — [John 17:3]. 

This ETERNAL LIFE of God gives life and breath — the life of God through your in-built eternal spirit into your entire being. 
Meaning you receive the capacity to function in the realm of ETERNITY in the midst of humanity — the human world sphere.  

NOTE THESE POSITIONAL ESSENCE FOR YOUR APPROPRIATION: 

  • You are BLESSED and your BLESSEDNESS is SET in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 1:3 
  • You are SEATED at God’s right hand in Christ Jesus in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 2:6. 
  • Jesus Christ is SEATED at the right hand of God the Father in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 1:20. 

When you understand this, it does not only affect your horizon of reasoning and trajectory of doing life, but you can boldly say and declare as in the epistle of 1 John 4:17 that “LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.” 

This understanding makes all the difference in the way you live and do life; in the way you see, perceive and receive things; what you say and how you say it, and such like. 

This is the only way to discover the works and working of God for your recovery into triumphant living in the world. 
It helps to colour your life, to thrive in grace, and to determine the atmosphere you want to live in and enjoy as a THERMOSTAT and not as a THERMOMETER. 

For as a THERMOSTAT you create and determine the life-sphere condition that you want to see and enjoy, as God did for Himself in creation [Genesis 1:1-31]; 
while as a THERMOMETER you do not create, define, or determine the life and sphere condition you want to see or enjoy, but you absorb and take in the condition that has been set around you to have, see, and do life — irrespective of whether you like it or not. 
And such is not the place you need to be, for it distorts the redemptive rights and privileges of ETERNITY in you, in Christ Jesus for you. 

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE TODAY — IT’S THE LIFE THAT MAKES IN YOU — ALL THE DIFFERENCE! 

I pray that you understand this and receive eternal life today and define your HAPPINESS and PEACE in Jesus’ precious name. Amen. 

Be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE . . .” John 3:16-18.

“A merry heart (spirit) doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” Proverbs 17:22. 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a call to receive ETERNAL LIFE [ZOE] in Christ Jesus — the very life of God that makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in your today and tomorrow. It teaches that because God has placed ETERNITY in your spirit, you are designed to function as a THERMOSTAT, not a THERMOMETER, seated with Christ in heavenly places. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. ETERNAL LIFE IS GOD’S IN-BUILT PURPOSE IN MAN
    God planted ETERNITY in your heart — “He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also, He has put ETERNITY in their hearts [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]” [Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMP]. 
    You are fearfully and wonderfully made — “I will praise thee; for I am FEARFULLY [REVERENTLY] and WONDERFULLY made” [Psalm 139:14]. 
    You are a spirit-being — You have a soul and live in a HUMUS body, making you a HU-MAN BEING [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13]. The MAN in HU-MAN is the spirit — God’s ESSENCE in every person [Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27]. 
    This spirit is eternal — It dwells in BELIEVERS and UNBELIEVERS alike and determines destiny: heaven or hell. 
  1. HOW YOU RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE
    By receiving Christ — When you receive Christ, you receive ETERNAL LIFE [ZOE in Greek] — the very life of God [John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:11-12]. 
    “And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son HATH LIFE” [1 John 5:11-12]. 
    Jesus prayed for it — “And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” [John 17:3]. 
    Result: This life gives life and breath through your eternal spirit into your entire being, and gives you capacity to function in the realm of ETERNITY while in the human world. 
  1. YOUR POSITIONAL REALITY IN CHRIST
    When you have ETERNAL LIFE, your position changes: 
    You are BLESSED and your BLESSEDNESS is SET in the HEAVENLY PLACES — [Ephesians 1:3] 
    You are SEATED at God’s right hand in Christ Jesus in the HEAVENLY PLACES — [Ephesians 2:6] 
    Jesus Christ is SEATED at the Father God’s right hand in the HEAVENLY PLACES — [Ephesians 1:20] 
    Therefore you can declare: “LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.” [1 John 4:17] 
  1. THERMOSTAT VS THERMOMETER: THE FUNCTION OF ETERNAL LIFE
    THERMOSTAT — With ETERNAL LIFE you create and determine the life-sphere condition you want to see and enjoy, as God did in creation [Genesis 1:1-31]. You colour your life, thrive in grace, and set the atmosphere. 
    THERMOMETER — Without functioning in ETERNAL LIFE you only absorb the conditions around you, whether good or bad. This distorts the redemptive rights and privileges of ETERNITY in you. 
    Impact: This understanding changes how you see, perceive, receive, speak, and do life. It is the only way to discover God’s works for your recovery into triumphant living. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING 

  1. The Gift: “God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in his Son” [1 John 5:11-12] 
  2. The Promise: “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE” [John 3:16] 
  3. The Source: “The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” [Job 33:4] 
  4. The Condition of the Spirit: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” [Proverbs 17:22][spirit] 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE TODAY — IT’S THE LIFE THAT MAKES IN YOU — ALL THE DIFFERENCE! Believe in Jesus Christ and receive ZOE — God’s eternal life in you [John 3:16; 1 John 5:11-12]. 
  2. ACKNOWLEDGE WHO YOU ARE — You are beautifully, wonderfully, and fearfully made. You carry God’s in-built ETERNITY. Walk in that awareness daily. 
  3. LIVE AS A THERMOSTAT — Stop absorbing the world’s conditions. By the ETERNAL LIFE in you, create, declare, and determine the atmosphere of grace, peace, and blessedness around you. 
  4. WALK IN YOUR HEAVENLY POSITION — You are SEATED with Christ in heavenly places. Live from that place of BOLDNESS, knowing AS HE IS, SO ARE YOU IN THIS WORLD. 
  5. NURTURE YOUR SPIRIT — Guard your spirit-man. A merry spirit is medicine. Let God’s life and breath flow through you daily. 

PRAYER & DECLARATION: 
I pray that you understand this and RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE TODAY and define your HAPPINESS and PEACE in Jesus’ precious name. 
Be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. AMEN.

LET US PRAY: YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED

By Leave a Comment

LET US PRAY: YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED – TO SHARE IN THE SAINTS INHERITANCE IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light” Colossians 1:12 Amplified. 

It is awesome to know that you have been QUALIFIED to share in the saints’ INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus; and it is within your redemptive rights and privilege in Christ Jesus to now rise up in grace — declaring and affirming your FAITH on the DONE DEED. 

That is the reason to commend yourself to God and to the WORD of His grace, that BUILDS UP and gives ACCESS to the INHERITANCE as set for all who are SANCTIFIED [set apart] in Christ Jesus’ stead — meaning set apart for God’s uniqueness in blessedness. 

“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” Acts 20:32. 

Will you PRAY it into reality? Now do it in this apostolic line of prayers as Apostle Paul did with the Ephesians Church. Endeavour to personify it as you make bold to declare the SCRIPTURAL writ into your wellbeing in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

EVERY BLESSING: Let us pray now. 

“For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped PRAYING for you, asking [specifically] that you [I] may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things], 10 so that you [I] will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; 11 [we [I] pray that you [I] may be] strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy; 12 GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US [ME] to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED US [ME] and has DRAWN US [ME] to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED US [ME] to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom WE [I] have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of OUR [MY] sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:9-14/Amplified/Emphasis Mine. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT; 2 saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8. 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a prophetic call to prayer and faith-declaration. It announces that through Christ, you have been QUALIFIED by the Father to share in the INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS. The response to this qualification is to rise in grace, commend yourself to God and His Word, and PRAY IT INTO REALITY until you walk in the fullness of what has already been DONE.  

KEY POINTS 

  1. YOUR QUALIFICATION IN CHRIST
    You are Qualified by God — “GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS [God’s people] in the Light” [Colossians 1:12 AMP]. 
    It’s Your Redemptive Right — This inheritance is not earned. It is your privilege in Christ Jesus because you have been SANCTIFIED [set apart] for God’s uniqueness and blessedness. 
    Access Comes Through the Word — “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” [Acts 20:32]. 
  1. THE APOSTOLIC PRAYER FOR APPROPRIATION
    Colossians 1:9-14 AMP gives us the pattern to pray: 
    Be Filled with Knowledge — “that you may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom… and in understanding” [v.9] 
    Walk Worthy and Bear Fruit — “so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord… bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God” [v.10] 
    Be Strengthened with Power — “strengthened and invigorated with all power… to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy” [v.11] 
    Give Thanks for Qualification — “GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US [ME] to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS in the Light” [v.12] 
    Remember Your Transfer — “He has RESCUED US [ME]… and has TRANSFERRED US [ME] to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom WE have redemption… the forgiveness of OUR [MY] sins” [v.13-14][I] 
  1. THE PRINCIPLE: PRAY WITHOUT FAINTING
    Jesus taught that we “OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT” [Luke 18:1].
    Just as the widow’s persistence moved the unjust judge, how much more will God avenge and establish His elect who cry to Him day and night [Luke 18:7-8].
    Prayer + Faith is how the DONE DEED becomes your present reality. 
  1. PERSONALISE IT
    You are to personify these prayers. Change “US/WE” to “ME/I” and declare the Scripture over your own well-being.
    Faith declares what God has already done until you see it, walk in it, and enjoy it. 

CALL TO ACTION 

LET US PRAY IT INTO REALITY NOW: 

  1. GIVE THANKS — Thank the Father right now because He has QUALIFIED YOU to share in the INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS [Colossians 1:12]. 
  2. COMMEND YOURSELF TO THE WORD — Spend time in THE WORD of His grace. It is what BUILDS YOU UP and gives you ACCESS to your inheritance [Acts 20:32]. 
  3. PRAY THE APOSTOLIC PRAYER DAILY — Use Colossians 1:9-14 and personalise it: 
    “Father, fill ME with the knowledge of Your will…” 
    “Strengthen ME with all power…” 
    “Thank You that You have RESCUED ME and TRANSFERRED ME into the Kingdom of Your Son…” 
    DECLARE YOUR FAITH ON THE DONE DEED — Rise up in grace. Affirm: “AS HE IS, SO AM I IN THIS WORLD.” Walk worthy, bear fruit, and grow in knowing God. 
    PRAY WITHOUT FAINTING — Be persistent. God will avenge and establish you speedily [Luke 18:7-8].  

DECLARATION: 
I am QUALIFIED. I am a PARTAKER. I walk in my INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus. 
I receive the BLESSEDNESS of being SANCTIFIED and set apart for God’s purpose.

God’s Eyes ARE On You

God’s Eyes ARE On You: Will You Let Him Use You – To Be The ANSWER And Not The QUEST To Human Needs! 

“For the EYES of the Lord run to and fro throughout the WHOLE earth, to SHEW HIMSELF STRONG in the BEHALF of them whose HEART is PERFECT (CENTRED, PURPOSEFUL) toward him . . .” 2 Chronicles 16:9. 

God is seeking for people whose center place and focus is to be a HUB around His PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT on earth for humankind. 

He wants to INSPIRE, REVEAL, and EMPOWER His Cause on earth through them in order to graciously and gracefully COLOUR their world for the good of ALL. 

Today, can you RESOLVE — in whatever capacity in life you are, be it in secular, spiritual, medical, social, educational, public, government, non-governmental, and such like — to allow God to make you STRONG IN HIS POWER AND GRACE for the good of ALL and not for self-centeredness or people-pleasing? 

Can you be God’s ambassadorial channel and vessel in use in RECONCILING the world by His WORD to Himself? 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV. 

God wants to reach out and HELP — You, your Family, your Community, your Nation, and our WORLD; 
but how can He, except when you CHOOSE to let Him be involved in the earnestly desired needs about those and things you care about? 

God SEEKS for someone who has a REVERENTIAL FEAR of Him to be His VESSEL OF USE and not an ORNAMENT in the swarm of men’s APPLAUSE rather than His APPROVAL. 

Someone He can make STRONG to accomplish the colourful, meaningful, and fulfilling ANSWERS to human QUEST.  

“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have not BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have not HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring GLAD TIDINGS of GOOD things! 16 But they have not all OBEYED THE GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report?” Romans 10:14-16. 

It’s your TIME to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in God. I pray you BECOME the dear ANSWER to the QUEST in many hearts today. I sincerely and earnestly pray for you, to enabling of God’s grace, wisdom and speed in every way in Christ Jesus, Amen. 

BE A VESSEL – IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS – TO BE AN ANSWER TO THE HUMAN QUEST – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For the EYES of the Lord run to and fro throughout the WHOLE earth, to SHEW HIMSELF STRONG in the BEHALF of them whose HEART is PERFECT (CENTRED, PURPOSEFUL) toward him . . .” 2 Chronicles 16:9. 

“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. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto every GOOD work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have not BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have not HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring GLAD TIDINGS of GOOD things! 16 But they have not all OBEYED THE GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report?” Romans 10:14-16. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Acts 2:22; Mark 16:15-20; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17  

SUMMARY: 
God is searching the WHOLE earth for VESSELS OF USE with PERFECT [CENTRED, PURPOSEFUL] hearts [2 Chronicles 16:9]. He wants to SHEW HIMSELF STRONG through you to bring ANSWERS to humanity’s QUEST and to RECONCILE THE WORLD to Himself.

  1. THE URGENCY & YOUR RESPONSE
    God Wants to HELP — Your Family, Community, Nation, and our WORLD. But He needs you to CHOOSE to let Him be involved. 
    The World is Waiting — “How shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT?” [Romans 10:14-15].

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

WE ARE COMPLETE, WE ARE BEING MADE COMPLETE, and WE SHALL BE MADE COMPLETE for all eternity, in Christ Jesus, in the fullness of age. The knowing and understanding of who YOU ARE and who you HAVE BECOME in Christ Jesus —is a gracious and graceful treasure. And it is not enough to know and understand WHO you ARE in all spheres, until you can COMMUNICATE that level of graciousness and gracefulness for EFFECTUAL results, especially in all that pertains to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in grace. 2 Peter 1:1-4 And it is the COMMUNICATION of your known and understood FAITH into any scriptural context, that enables one to enact, authenticate and ACTUALIZE the spirit of VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, and MORE THAN CONQUEROR in the blessedness of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

 [2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11]. 

Therefore, to ENACT and APPROPRIATE your being COMPLETE [WHOLE, PERFECTED, MATURED] in grace 
and to be equipped in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, 
you must continually COMMUNICATE YOUR FAITH in God in Christ Jesus 
to your life, dealings, situations and circumstances as you do life and live godly in grace. 

And COMMUNICATING YOUR FAITH to ensure your BLESSEDNESS of being COMPLETE in Christ Jesus 
is ACTUALIZED by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING DONE IN YOU, BEING DONE IN YOU, 
and BEING DONE THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

You ARE a product of your communication in grace. 
You will daily and eventually BECOME and POSSESS what you communicate. 

Therefore, endeavour to communicate your faith to your situation 
in the grace of the good and goodness of God 
that you have ACKNOWLEDGED IN you IN Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. [Philemon 1:6].

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

“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.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY YOU through and through [that is, SEPARATE you from profane and vulgar things, MAKE YOU pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—SET APART for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept COMPLETE and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is CALLING YOU [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by MAKING YOU holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (Amplified) 

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD

THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD: ENABLES GLOWING, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING IN GRACE . . . And SHINING In GLORY! 

“THY WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a LIGHT unto my path. . . 130 THE ENTRANCE OF THY WORDS GIVETH LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple” Psalms 119:105, 130. 

Light is and will always be superior to darkness at any point of manifestation. Meaning it is by the amount of light you let into your life that outshines the darkness about you. And this light is as a result of The WORD of the Lord God you’ve allowed to flood into your being. For more WORD gives more LIGHT that outshine darkness at any level. And Jesus is THE WORD – and His fulness in you will give the enabling to keep you GLOWING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Him. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14. 

It’s written in the Holy Writ that “The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” (Psalms 119:130). If The WORD does not have an entrance into you, surely there would be darkness or works of darkness about you to deal with. You can’t live beyond the amount of the LIGHT you have of God – Psalms 119:105; for the just shall live by his faith in the light of The Word – Habakkuk 2:4. And the Word shines in darkness and darkness cannot outshine, overcome and comprehend it – John 1:1-5. 

Wisdom as a result of the knowledge and understanding of The Word, makes a man’s face to shine and the boldness of his face shall be changed from glory to glory by the Spirit of The Lord – Ecclesiastes 8:1; 2 Corinthians 3:18; and this breathed inspiration, revelation and empowerment of The Spirit enables us to do life with understanding and without sweat and stress – Job 32:8; Job 33:4. 

Today! Give The Word of God an entrance by inclining to His sayings, you will break-forth into wholeness and your path shall shine more and more brighter until the dawn of a new you in a perfect day with God – Proverbs 4:18, 20-22. The WORD Makes WHOLE and gives the enabling for our glowing and refreshing in God’s graciousness and gracefulness. 

For in God, light will always illuminate OUT of darkness no matter the strength of that darkness. God does not shine light UPON darkness but instead allows light to outshine OUT OF darkness. In that which you considered or have considered to be full of darkness, God will by the WORD, cause light to shine OUT OF it. 2 Corinthians 4:6; Genesis 1: 1-5. 

Therefore, don’t be afraid of the dark or darkness when you are flooded with the WORD in your INNER being. For the beauty, glory, glowing and refreshing of the light within you is made known in the darkest of the darkness about you. 

 The DARKER the DARKNESS, the BRIGHTER the LIGHT by the WORD.
