YOUR SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE

By Leave a Comment

YOUR SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE: WORTH A SCRIPTURAL CHECK AND EXAMINATION!

“. . . 8 BEWARE lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily . . .” Colossians 1:1-23.

Your spiritual genotype may worth a scriptural check and examination to ascertain if you may be or not be, in spiritual bondage knowingly or unknowingly. Naturally, the term GENOTYPE – is the genetic constitution of an individual organism. And in a broad sense, the term “GENOTYPE” refers to the genetic makeup of an organism – in other words, it describes an organism’s complete set of genes. And in a more narrow sense, the term can be used to refer to the alleles, or variant forms of a gene, that are carried by an organism in SHAPING UP the you to other generation especially if you are going to be in a relationship or already in one and reproduce a kind. And in terms of functions – GENOTYPE is not just only the genetic make-up of an individual organism – GENOTYPE functions as a set of INSTRUCTIONS for the GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT of your body. The word ‘genotype’ is usually used when talking about the genetics of a particular trait (like eye colour).

“Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever TRANSGRESSETH, and ABIDETH NOT in the DOCTRINE of Christ, hath not God. He that ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE of Christ, he hath BOTH the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, AND BRING NOT THIS DOCTRINE, RECEIVE HIM NOT INTO YOUR HOUSE, NEITHER BID HIM GOD SPEED: 11 for he that biddeth him God speed is PARTAKER of his evil deeds” 2 John 1:8-11.

And we know that – for the good of any healthy relationships, it’s appropriate and apparent that individuals do a GENOTYPE test check to help them if such relationship worth embarking upon, because of the effect it might have on the next generation – because it serves as an indicator if there is the chance for a healthy offspring and it’d safeguard’s you too if it’s not going to be a possibility for you to have one, instead of being locked into a quagmire as a child of God in Christ Jesus, with an unnecessary PRAYERS due to deliberate negligence. And I know that many have ignorantly and foolishly ignored this – while paying the price for its effect afterwards, today and now; and I can’t imagine many that I have met to pray along with as I give counsel to young intending couples to do the needful check-up test to safeguard regrets afterwards. For FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead, is not stupidly but it’s wisdom – in knowledge and understanding in terms irrespective.

As pertaining to SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – we need to come to terms to know that, as dangerously dangerous some have played down the need for GENOTYPE test check while entering a relationship, many have in same scenario, given themselves into a more SPIRITUAL bondage and confusion, that an early check-up would have saved them; however, I do know that faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead, can still save you today if you know and understand the context of this writ.

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

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

I was at my house garden yesterday doing some pruning, hedge cutting and care to the environment for appropriate reason to enjoy the spring and summer weather, then the Holy Spirit drop into my spirit the term – SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE! While brooding through this term as I have always done on freshly fresh information from the Holy Spirit, though I know the implications of GENOTYPE effect when wrongly applied – it reminds me that the trouble today in the Christian Faith, either as a denomination and with individuals in respect to many, especially in a spiritually charged incompatible relationship – it’s because of many who walked into a denominational place of worship and or entered into a Christian relationship without doing the needful; and most importantly important, some don’t know and have not seen the reason to know and are too lazy or ignorant to do the needful check-up first, if where they have called their place of worship in doing life and to live godly have a pure Christian faith-based “TENET of FAITH” belief otherwise “STATEMENT of FAITH” belief. This is very important irrespective of denominational inclinations, before engaging and bonding as such, into that denomination or relationship especially in marital relationships.

And the effect as such in many, especially the supposedly born of God in Christ Jesus stead, are today in a very seriously serious relationships trauma in terms of the divergent beliefs that’s been upheld by the individuals that makes up such relationships whilst some others are in bondage within the denominational settings; many are locked into some intermingled bylaws, creeds, ordinances , sectarianism and some form of righteousness that’s traditionalism and culturalised with dogmas that’s overlaid with unrelated contractual Scriptures to blindfold people from having an insight, foresight and oversight in the grace; and why in overtimes, some of these religious practices have become a part of acceptable practice and  belief in their terms, as to the worship of God in Christ Jesus stead – while yet in contradictions there are holding forth people in bondages from their New Creation experiences in Christ Jesus stead, of which is the faith-based belief as laid out in the holy Scriptures.

And in the same scenario, some in the bond with the denominationised settings, are there held ups through marriage – they are there by married because their other partner said he’s or she’s a Christian without the full knowing of the respective beliefs “TENET/STATEMENT OF FAITH they are standing upon; and the inability to check the faith belief because of zealousness to get married without knowledge in terms, many have avoided the necessity to check on the importance of the sound faith-based belief that may affect their future difference when there’s a common challenges requiring a common beliefs to scripturally deal with it in God’s terms and scriptural context. And many are today in their relationship now pointing fingers of faults and crying out  – fowl fowl, wolf wolf – when the deed of commitment and dedication is already done on a wrong footing; but there’s hope to return to the unchanging and infallible WORD of God and get the failed track back again, in scriptural context of TRUTH, if there’s a willing and obedient heart of dedication and commitment toward it together on the sound faith-based belief.

“Howbeit in VAIN do they WORSHIP me, TEACHING for DOCTRINES the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. 8 For laying ASIDE the commandment of God, ye hold the TRADITION of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye REJECT the commandment of God, that ye may KEEP your own TRADITION . . . 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:7-9, 13.

Today, I ask you to go and look into the overall beliefs – “TENET/STATEMENT OF FAITH” that you are standing upon and building your Christian walk with God upon; this is important and way beyond your just being born of God by looking into the accreditation of your denominational Church creed booklet or on their indoctrinated websites, to ascertain if it’s SCRIPTURALLY faith-based in their doctrinal context to that of the word of God, as to their PREACHED messages you hear across and over the board; and to ascertain if you have already been intermingled, adulterated, indoctrinated and interfaced – half baked, knowingly or unknowingly of man-made indoctrination to suit statuesque. And when you ignorantly overlooked checking up, you are as good or bad to what you agreed to believe in the belief, as if it’s of God in Christ Jesus – irrespective of where it leads you toward. You can use similar test check on your social groups or spouse relationship so that you don’t run bluntly blind in spiritual incompatibility. For to be forewarned is to be forearmed – but only for the wise to note.

I want you to know of this truth that:

IF YOU BELIEVE IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT, YOU WILL EQUALLY ACT IN FAITH IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT – FOR FAITH (as the legal and vital tender for divine transactions and medium of communication and exchange, and de facto in heavenly relationship and fellowship with the earthly) – IS ABOUT ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD IN CONTEXT. Meaning, if you believe wrongly, you will act wrongly and you will have yourself to blame – and no one else.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK of your SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE before you let go to another.

I have known and resolved years ago while I travelled to live in places as a student and as an adult or now as a Gospel Minister, to ALWAYS do what I now term SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – that is, to always EXAMINE as the BEREÄN Christian [Acts 17:10-13] before I am in any bond with a person or denomination and such like, in order to preserved the faith-based truth that I have come to know of God in  Christ Jesus; and this has caused me to stay steadfast, unpolluted, unadulterated, with no denominational indoctrination and unmovable in the FAITH in the grace; and I know, it has cost me a lot to have come thus far to live in this grace stand and along with it’s unwavering steadfastness, which is by God’s enabling grace, mercy, love and peace. Hence, I could write the book – LIVING IN THE REALM OF REVELATION which is about living beyond doctrine and man-made tradition.

“If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT not to WHOLESOME words, even the WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

“If thou put the brethren in REMEMBRANCE of these things, thou shalt be a GOOD MINISTER of Jesus Christ, NOURISHED up in the WORDS OF FAITH and of GOOD DOCTRINE, whereunto thou hast ATTAINED” 1 Timothy 4:6.

Are you Minister of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, especially as a pioneer in terms of a any denominational Christian Faith? How plain have you made available to your members the denominational ‘TENET/STATEMENT of FAITH’; there’s the need to make available the members who comes to your gatherings for the worship of God under your umbrella – so that they can READ BEFORE THEY RUN instead of RUNNING BEFORE READING, only for them to discover they are trapped in a RELIGION and RELIGIOSITY, and not in the FAITH-BASED SCRIPTURAL TRUTH toward God in Christ Jesus as written:

“. . . 2 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 how I KEPT BACK NOTHING THAT WAS PROFITABLE UNTO YOU, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

It’s an utmost imperative as Gospel Minister’s that are set to lead the congregation of God’s precious people and to feed them healthily, that we ensure and assure all, that the foundation of the Faith upon which we are conveying God’s WORD in respective denomination, it’s not a religious grandstands but a righteous grandstands – that is SCRIPTURALLY proven without adulteration and counterfeit and confusion, so that any can easily access and be founded and grounded in the faith of our saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Amen. [Number 27:15-17; Jeremiah 3:15; John 21:15-17; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11; Luke 6:47-49]

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God will help you as He build you up by His WORD, that you make it a personal responsibility and accountability in principle, to continually look up into the WORD of God for your spiritual healthy living in order not to have a cause to blame any for your negligence, ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, when you find yourself in a NEW place to live and need to find a place of INGATHERING of the saints in order to worship; and also, when you are considering a healthy relationship with someone, to look inward and to ask basic questions to safeguard that relationship when the challenges of times comes, you can be on the same page to deal with it in same SCRIPTURAL context of FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen as enjoined in Acts 20:32.

I hope as you see the importance of assurance for insurance in the natural GENOTYPE, you might see the spiritual implications too same like scenario, in always taking a SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE check, as a very vital necessity, in your walk and work of faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 3 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. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ . . .” Jude 1:1-24.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

He saith unto him, FEED my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED my sheep” John 21:15-17.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3.

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have LAID THE FOUNDATION, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man TAKE HEED how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:9-11.

GRATITUDE – A THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING HEARTEDNESS

By Leave a Comment

GRATITUDE – A THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING HEARTEDNESS: IT’S THE POWER AND ESSENCE OF HIGHER ALTITUDE!

“And WHATSOEVER ye DO in WORD or DEED, DO ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, GIVING THANKS to God and the Father by Him” Colossians 3:17.

GRATITUDE – is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Having and expressing a GRATITUDE of hearts is a gracious and graceful ATTITUDE to live in, for one’s ALTITUDE in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there’s the need to live a GRATEFUL and THANKFUL life in all circumstances and situations irrespective of one’s status, creed, colour, gender and tongue.

When you come to a place of acknowledging goodwill and goodness in life and grace – that place of not only GIVING God THANKS at the point of INCIDENCE, but you have a LIVING ATTITUDE to give THANKS ALWAYS without prejudice, therein is a set place knowingly and unknowingly, of awesome ALTITUDE. That’s an atmosphere, wherein you just LIVE in the REALM of THANKS – and such a heartfelt ATTITUDE of the will, will ALWAYS reciprocate and create an enabling for an ALTITUDE that’s beyond human words, but found in knowledge and understanding, as the Holy writ do encourage.

“By him therefore let us OFFER the SACRIFICE of PRAISE to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the FRUIT of our lips GIVING THANKS to his name” Hebrews 13:15.

I therefore urge you to ensure that your THANKSGIVING act of GRATITUDE becomes a THANKS LIVING ATTITUDE for your ALTITUDE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Be CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but IN EVERY THING by prayer and supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the PEACE of God, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7.

“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the Spirit; 19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 GIVING THANKS ALWAYS for ALL THINGS unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” Ephesians 5:18-20.

“For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15 By him therefore let us OFFER the sacrifice of praise to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the FRUIT of our lips GIVING THANKS to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased” Hebrews 13:14-16.

“In every thing GIVE THANKS: for this is the WILL of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

“And they sang together by course in PRAISING and GIVING THANKS unto the Lord; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people SHOUTED with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the FOUNDATION of the house of the Lord was laid” Ezra 3:11.

“Be ye therefore FOLLOWERS of God, as DEAR children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: BUT RATHER GIVING OF THANKS . . .” Ephesians 5:1-5.

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, 2 to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We GIVE THANKS to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints . . .” Colossians 1:8.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for all men” 1 Timothy 2:1.

You CAN Triumph and Overcome THAT Unwarranted LIFE Pressure

You CAN Triumph and Overcome THAT Unwarranted LIFE Pressure: There’s The STAND in The GRACE to Say ‘NO’ in You!

“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.

It’s a high time to BUILD your life on PRINCIPLE – the PRINCIPLE that’s BASED ON God’s WORD and BUILT FROM the WORD of God. You need to ensure and be assured that what’s paramount in all your decisions on daily basis is PRINCIPLES that stands on God’s WORD of GRACE, in all you do in LIFE and GODLINESS. You can’t afford as the REDEEMED of God to fall PREY of the ENEMY and COHORTS, except for your inability to take and have a built-up PRINCIPLE that STAND by your FAITH and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. When you don’t have a PRINCIPLED stand that’s BASED ON God’s WORD and that’s BUILT FROM God’s WORD, you will FALL a PREY to any MANOEUVRE that comes on your path of life by the ENEMY and COHORTS in waiting to devour.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the SAME AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11.

May I say and assure you that in Christ Jesus stead, you can make it GREAT in life and BECOME what God has MADE you be in salvation through REDEMPTION; and by the entrusted GRACE of God, if you CAN know the HOW to say ‘NO’ to ALL THINGS that LIMITS you and CONTRAVENE your ACTS of FAITH in Christ Jesus, NOTHING can stop your intended desire in and with God, in Christ Jesus stead –  no matter what it is.

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It TEACHES us to say ‘NO’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. . . “ Titus 2:11-15/NIV.

Grace to me in sum, is – God’s Riches at Christ Expense. And there’s an inner deposited ability and capacity embedded in your Salvation in Christ Jesus, and is called GRACE, and it’s to help you say NO to POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. It thus means you can say NO to anything that limits you from where God in Christ Jesus have enthroned you in Him. You have a choice to resist steadfastly any act of sinful demands, worldly prepositions and lustful pressures that crosses your path of destiny in order for you to succeed, be fulfilled and to eat the good of the land wherein you dwell, work, school and do life.

Colourful living and glorious life is not cheap, it demands the EXERCISING of the will of the GRACE that CAN say NO to setbacks and failure steadfastly. And you are GIVEN THE MEASURE of GRACE and FAITH to say “NO”. Therefore blame no one anymore if you falter to be PRINCIPLED to exercise the will given measure to VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION.

If you CAN discipline and principle yourself to say NO, you will and can keep yourself above the waters that’s aimed to limit you from your godly position of greatness in Christ Jesus; and in knowing and understanding what the Scripture has said about you.

Saying “NO” is godly and it’s a principle to stand upon to live the “I CAN” in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

BE BLESSED – BE EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“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.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth me” Philippians 4:13.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

THE PROMISES OF GOD – OUR DAILY LOADED BENEFITS

By Leave a Comment

THE PROMISES OF GOD – OUR DAILY LOADED BENEFITS: IT’S TO ENHANCE AND AUTHENTICATE OUR REDEMPTION!

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

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

Our God does not only want to meet up with our Daily Bread needs but He wants also to shower us with His ADD-ON BONUS, the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS – embedded in our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus stead. Imagine having BONUS, an ADD-ON to your normal daily earnings; that’s what it means to have BENEFITS to the NORMS daily BREAD that is generalised to ALL when you pray.

Our God will daily load us with His benefits in REDEMPTION in order to authenticate our salvation in Him. That’s why you must not give up or give in to any limiting circumstances until you begin to actualise God’s benefiting WILL, in your DAILY life.

Herein are simple few major reasons though not limited why Father God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit in His WORD will authenticate His Daily Benefits:

* That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby give Him thanks. [Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2].

* That the Gospel might advance, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. [Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9].

* That you have plenty left over to give to others in great needs without murmuring withholding and complaining. [Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38].

* To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes people away from the FAITH. And in seeking answers from ungodly places that will cause you to fall out in the faith and to become a prey of the ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper in order to achieve the desired unscriptural set greatness. [Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3].

* To cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness, oppression and destruction. POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality leads to stealing, robbery, bribery and such likes. [Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34].

* To help keep and establish the righteous in Dominion. [Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12].

* To establish and authenticate His covenant of faithfulness that’s only built on His sure and true foundation in the grace through faith in Christ Jesus stead. [2 Peter 1:19-21; Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17].

The ADD-ON BONUS of God it’s a gracious and graceful way to live your life in the faith, not just from the DAILY BREAD but from the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS; that’s the essence of knowing your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the God of our SALVATION (REDEMPTION). Selah” Psalms 68:19 (Emphasis Mine).

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be DONE in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us THIS DAY our DAILY BREAD . . .” Matthew 6:9-15.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

“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.

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION: THE POWER OF GOD THAT CHANGES ALL THINGS – BOTH THE CHANGEABLE AND THE UNCHANGEABLE!

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER OF GOD unto SALVATION to every one that BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

SALVATION of men, which is FRUITFULNESS in the SPIRIT, is the most awesome essence of THE GOSPEL. It’s our global, inescapable and supreme task, as God’s ambassadors in Christ Jesus stead. It’s a high and higher time to live it out daily, in order to populate the heavens and depopulate hell, by advancing the Kingdom cause of our God and in keeping the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay.

When last did you in passion and compassion share the GOSPEL to your unsaved friend, family member, neighbour, colleague and those about where you do life and express your godly living time and again. Make it a new dawn for you to share this precious GOSPEL faith and fellowship with those especially that you care about and are reachable to begin with. The salvation of a soul is costly, and no amount of earthly wealth and possession can quantify and qualify the redemption of a soul. Only the gospel can and will ALWAYS redeem a soul. Give it a go today.

Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Leave a Comment

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE ASSURED GRACE OF RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love RIGHTEOUSNESS and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Psalms 45:6-7.

Let your LEGACY of doing life and living godly be defined by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] in  Christ Jesus in you. For Jesus Christ in presences and experience in humanity, was marked by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, in order to ensure and be assured, of God’s ever ANOINTED presence is with Him, to stay enabled and above All and above only. [Hebrews 1:7-9; Psalms 45:6-7].

“And of the ANGELS He says: “Who makes His ANGELS spirits And His MINISTERS a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Hebrews 1:7-9/NKJV.

The Kingdom of God is consummated with a SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and Jesus ensures that He loves RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] and hated wickedness, in order to be assured that He earn God’s approval instead of men’s applause and hyper – [Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15].

Don’t you cherished such sphere and realm of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead? [Matthew 6:33 (Luke 12:31]. God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is the only stand to hold on to, as we do life and live godly in the midst of the fallibility of the human nature, acceptance and of hope and assurance before men in measures. For the kingdom of God is about RIGHTEOUSNESS, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit.

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.

And if you desired to live and be ABOVE ONLY – it’s not by mouth-talking it – you just have to ensure and be assured that you are standing on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus For we can only reign with God in Christ Jesus on earth through RIGHTEOUSNESS. Think about that – to reign in life, in humanity, only possible for the Believer’s through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.

Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, then addition will commence in your life and wellbeing in godliness. God knows about your need of at least the three basics necessity in life – Food, Clothing and Shelter. He doesn’t want you to toil like unbeliever’s to obtain the basic necessity and much more, hence He wants you to lay the basic fundamental foundation in kingdom to His provision in redemption for you, effortlessly and without sweat and boredom.

“. . . 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we EAT? or, What shall we DRINK? or, Wherewithal shall we be CLOTHED? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS. 33 But SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of God, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you . . .” Matthew 6:31-33 [25-34].

Give God an opportunity to be your Father for once again in righteousness. Let Him make you be in His plan, purpose and pursuit for your wellbeing in Christ Jesus.  [Jeremiah 29:11]. Let your definition be founded in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to flourish like a cedar in Lebanon, flourish like the Palm tree, flourish in the courts of our God. Flourish at all ages of your being in life and grace. For God wants to assure you that He’s Faithful and there’s no unrighteousness with Him in the grace. It’s time to get yourself rooted, grounded and established in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus to be ABOVE only and enjoy the heritage of the redeemed of God in Christ Jesus stead, Amen. [Psalms 92:12-15; Isaiah 54:13-17].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The RIGHTEOUS will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15  [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him” Psalms 92:12-15/Amplified.

“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 14 In RIGHTEOUSNESS shalt thou be ESTABLISHED: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their RIGHTEOUSNESS is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:13-17.

“. . . 29 And seek not ye what ye shall EAT, or what ye shall DRINK, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather SEEK YE THE KINGDOM of God; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s GOOD PLEASURE to give you the kingdom” Luke 12:22-32.

THE PROMISES OF GOD – EVER TRUE AND EVER SURE

By Leave a Comment

THE PROMISES OF GOD – EVER TRUE AND EVER SURE: YOU CAN BANK ON IT TODAY AND ALWAYS!

“For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be Cut Off” Proverbs 23:18 [Proverbs 24:14].

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that feareth (REVERENCE) him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35/Emphasis Mine.

Step into the day with HOPE and ASSURANCE in FAITH that WORKS through LOVE, because the PROMISES of God are ever sure and true. You can BANK on His PROMISSORY NOTE to you, because God is FAITHFUL to all His promises, and your momentary delay does not mean His denial of you for sure – He will be on time as always. [Philippians 1:6; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 10:23; Galatians 5:6; 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5].

God plays no gimmicks as men neither with men. And of two immutability of His counsel – in order to authenticate with assurances to His PROMISES, He has taken an oath in His NAME and His WORD; that’s to say – He can’t and won’t lie, and can’t begin one with you now or ever. His PROMISES to us are EVER SURE And STEADFAST – you can BANK on it today, and even now. [Psalms 138:2/Amplified; Hebrews 6:16-20; Numbers 23:19, 23; Matthew 24:35 (Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33)].

“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your NAME!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.

In order to authenticate that God is faithful, true and ever sure, He has GIVEN us the Holy Spirit as a SEALED of ownership which also is His PLEDGED to GUARANTEE as DOWN payment and SECURITY DEPOSIT to His promises to you and all. Much more, He has assured us that His promises are only in the YES and AMEN and never in the NO or NAY as some may have purportedly claim which is unfortunate.

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “YES” and “NO,” but has proved to be “YES” in Him [true and faithful, the divine “YES” affirming God’s promises]. 20 For as many as are the PROMISES of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “YES.” So through Him we say our “AMEN” to the glory of God. 21 Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]” 2 Corinthians 1:19-21/Amplified.

When you are ASSURED of this INSURED act of God, you need not allow worry and anxiety to rule and own your day. It’s your moment to STAND upright, STEP on, HEAD up and straight, SHOULDER high and HEELS of faith high, to win your day. [Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:13-15].

You can BANK on God’s PROMISES to you today – and you can CHECK in that HEAVENLY PROMISSORY NOTE and Live joyfully all day long in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

May every grace and blessings that are yours in Christ Jesus abounds more and more. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For men verily SWEAR by THE GREATER: and an OATH FOR CONFIRMATION is to them an END of all strife. 17 Wherein God, WILLING MORE ABUNDANTLY to shew unto the HEIRS OF PROMISE THE IMMUTABILITY OF HIS COUNSEL, CONFIRMED IT BY AN OATH: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS, in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to LIE, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the HOPE set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as AN ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which entereth into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us ENTERED, even Jesus, MADE an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 6:16-20.

“For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us.  21 Now He who ESTABLISHES US with you in Christ and has ANOINTED US is God,  22 who also has SEALED US and GIVEN US the Spirit in our hearts as a GUARANTEE” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.

“But YOU HAVE AN ANOINTING from the Holy One, and you know all things . . . 27 But the ANOINTING which you HAVE RECEIVED from Him ABIDES in you, and you do not need that anyone TEACH you; but as the SAME ANOINTING TEACHES you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has TAUGHT you, you will ABIDE in Him”  1 John 2:20, 27.

“Let us hold fast the PROFESSION (CONFESSION) of our hope without WAVERING, for He who promised is FAITHFUL” Hebrews 10:23.

“God is NOT A MAN, that he should lie; NEITHER the son of man, that he should repent: hath he SAID, and shall he not DO it? or hath he SPOKEN, and shall he not MAKE IT GOOD? . . .23 Surely there is no ENCHANTMENT AGAINST Jacob,neither is there any DIVINATION AGAINST Israel: ACCORDING TO THIS TIME it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” Numbers 23:19, 23.

“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.

“These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARETH US: 15 and if we know that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER we ASK, we know that we have the PETITIONS that we DESIRED of him” 1 John 5:13-15.

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME

By Leave a Comment

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S A SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDING MINISTERIAL CALLING!

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN OVER THE CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD THEM OUT, and which may BRING THEM IN; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not AS SHEEP which have NO SHEPHERD” Numbers 27:15-17.

You are either CALLED or NOT. Everyone CALLED is a MESSENGER. And every MESSENGER is GIVEN a SPECIFIC and SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT with a MESSAGE to FEED the FLOCKS – God’s own Heritage – with the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that’s TOWARD God and His Christ, and NOT TOWARD man or creation at all. John 17:3/Jeremiah 3:15.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance TOWARD God, and faith TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“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.

Those NOT CALLED, are not MESSENGERS but HIRELING – Thieves and Robbers – John 10:8, 12-13. And with such there is NO MESSAGE nor any specific given assignment of God but that of their self-indulgence, gratification, men applaud and egotism under the influence of satanic/demonic and cohort’s mission. This is the reason for – Adulteration, Schism, Bewitching, Robbery, Dogmas, Sorcery, Falsehoods, Confusion and such like, in the body Ministry of the Gospel, indicating and supposedly the signs of the last days – [Philippians 1:15-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 3:1-7].

These sets of SELF-MADE UP and SELF-CALLED Pastors are full of fables, philosophy of men, endless genealogies, vain jangling, teachers of idealism and realism, denominational made-up creeds, religious bigots, sectarianism, man-made tradition and dogmas that leads people to further bondages and hence makes God’s WORD of no effect in the Gospel. [1 Timothy 1:1-11; Colossians 2:8; Mark 7:1-13].

PASTORAL MINISTRY? It’s not an Office Position – It’s a set Ministerial Calling – It’s a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING that is principled with responsibility and accountability in Christ Jesus stead, for the GLORY and PRAISE of God. [Galatians 6:14-16; Revelation 4:11]. It’s a set MINISTERIAL calling to FEED God’s people without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation ; and to LEAD them healthily in purposeful LEADERSHIP as God’s REDEEMED, PRECIOUS and BLESSED people; and not to the BOSS and DOMINEER people around for self gratification and egotism. There’s no room for SELF INTEREST and SELFISHNESS in the PASTORAL MINISTRY as a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING of God.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

Also, you are either sent by God as John the Baptist and the Disciples as in the Gospel days or you are your own sending. God does call and send [John 1:6-36; Mark 6:7-13]. Those he called and send; He keeps and protects and defends. It’s not about liking the Ministerial outfits but being called and sent forth should be paramount.  Send forth could be to a person to enhance the calling or to a people, or to a generation or to a dispensation or to a community or to a special group of people. You must know the definition of the calling and sending before taking a step because of the warfare and many uncertainties and unknown in cause and course of that obedience demands without having any reason to regrets your step of faith to advance the kingdom of our God and to keep the Enemy and cohorts at bay.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is A THIEF AND A ROBBER. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers . . . 11 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine . . .” John 10:1-18.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 THAT FRUSTRATETH THE TOKENS OF THE LIARS, AND MAKETH DIVINERS MAD; THAT TURNETH WISE MEN BACKWARD, AND MAKETH THEIR KNOWLEDGE FOOLISH; 26 THAT CONFIRMETH THE WORD OF HIS SERVANT, AND PERFORMETH THE COUNSEL OF HIS MESSENGERS; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof” Isaiah 44:24-26.

“There was a man SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, TO BEAR WITNESS OF THE LIGHT, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:1-36.

“And he called unto him the twelve, and began to SEND them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9 but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 10 And he SAID unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 12 And they went out and preached that men should repent. 13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them” Mark 6:7-13.

The PASTORAL MINISTRY otherwise the SHEPHERDING of God’s heritage – the flocks of God, is an ACCOUNTABLE and RESPONSIBLE calling of grace, that’s built on the PRINCIPLE of looking well after the state of God’s herds – the Churches of His grace.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

“I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP” John 10:11.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP” John 20:15-17.
