Being JUSTIFIED By FAITH – We Have ACCESS By FAITH

Being JUSTIFIED By FAITH – We Have ACCESS By FAITH – We STAND In GRACE By FAITH: And We ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In Christ Jesus!

“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.

Being JUSTIFIED by FAITH in Christ Jesus, we are given ACCESS by same FAITH to Father God, upon the GRACE wherein our REDEMPTION was CERTIFIED for us, and made us QUALIFIED, to enable us STAND TRIUMPHANTLY as transferred, transformed and translated from the Kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son – Lords and Saviour Jesus Christ; and to TAKE and MAKE a STAND, into the DEED of God, that MADE us the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER [GRIPS] of DARKNESS and CONVEYED [TRANSLATED, TRANSFERRED, TRANSFORMED] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV/Emphasis Mine.

And the most awesome and amazing POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is the knowing that you ARE:

*** FORGIVEN from SIN and all SIN effects by God IN Christ Jesus.

*** ACQUITTED from All wrongs IN Christ Jesus.

**** QUALIFIED and JUSTIFIED in God’s grace in Christ Jesus stead.

*** RECEIVED back to GLORY and VIRTUE IN Christ Jesus.

For to being JUSTIFIED is to be DISCHARGED, ACQUITTED and DECLARED RIGHTEOUS – because of what Jesus Christ has done on our behalf, in God’s REDEMPTION did for us, in all about LIFE and GODLINESS. Amen.

Therefore, it’s your time to RAISE your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of FAITH in GRACE, to live in LIFE and GODLINESS, without shame, fear, intimidation and inferiority complex and any form or sorts of phobias the ENEMY and COHORTS may throw at you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s your time to be emboldened by the WORD in the name of Jesus Christ, by the leading of the Holy Spirit and the inspiring, revealing and empowering of Father God, in His set plan, purpose and pursuit, for the Kingdom cause.

You need not be ASHAMED and CONDEMNED any more of who you ARE in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For being JUSTIFIED by FAITH – we have ACCESS by FAITH – we STAND in GRACE by FAITH – and we ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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

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

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

“But before FAITH came, we were kept UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the FAITH which should afterwards be REVEALED. 24 Wherefore the LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:23-24.

“. . .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: . . . 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES OF HIS GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all wisdom and prudence . . .” Ephesians 1:1-23

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

BEING CHRISTLIKE [BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR] IN LOVE: LOVING THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THE EYES OF CHRIST JESUS!

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:19/AMP.

Being CHRISTLIKE [Being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE in our lives, should be every believer’s earnest desired intent and expectations to live along in the grace; this is very important for our whole being. And the question that comes to mind in Being CHRISTLIKE [Being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE would be – how have you being applying the love of Christ in your day to day living thus far? How would you start to do the love of God in Christ Jesus now? And how can you go about doing God’s love, in order to sustain it, in an onward and upward trajectory without a stop? Is the love of God through the eyes of your DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church sectarianism and religious by-laws and creeds? or your kind of love in action, is it as being done in the World’s sense of definition? Being CHRISTLIKE [Being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE, means doing life through the EYES and FACE of Christ Jesus, in the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of God as in the Holy Scripture.

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to give us the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6 Amplified.

Being CHRISTLIKE [Being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE is the life of LOVING through KNOWLEDGE of God, in the EYES and FACE of JESUS by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us; this is the essence of FULFILLING scriptures and to being FULFILLED in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . .  8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

If you live assured by being CHRISTLIKE [being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE, you can then actualised your essence of being a carrier of God’s love in order to do life both near and far and beyond the eyes of limitations that the DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church can create.

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:19/AMP.

For when you take the step to being CHRISTLIKE [being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE, you then allows God’s eternal love to captivate you through the KNOWLEDGE that’s on the eyes and face of Christ Jesus. The essence, is to enable one to do life and live godly. Being CHRISTLIKE [Being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE, helps one to go about LIBERATING many from all forms of bondage and captivity; and it thus gives one the assurance to eventually experience the WHOLENESS of God in one’s triune-being: spirit, soul and body; Being CHRISTLIKE [Being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE causes God’s love in Christ Jesus to take hold of you in every way, in order to do life and live blessedly, thereby fulfilling the Scripture meaningfully and purposefully as written:

“Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11 never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], 13 contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality . . .” Romans 12:9-21 Amplified.

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love from the eyes of Christ Jesus if you dare desire to genuinely live free in GRACE and in God’s KNOWLEDGE – wholesomely, purposefully and meaningfully. And living through being CHRISTLIKE [being Christ’s Ambassador] in LOVE makes one unique in everyway.

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY: DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY – AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR!

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY: DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY – AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR!

Do something different this month. Break through that fear of boredom and set patterns and methods. Ensure your life on principles, for our God, is not of methods but of principles.

Therefore, do something differently from the set usual that have not made anything refreshing, rejuvenating and blossoming in you, by doing it in this wise, but not limited:

* Close the kitchen and take time out to have a special meal with family and possibly friends outside home or the usual. Take your spouse out for a different kind of date from the usual. Drive through a different route to and from Church, work or places of interest. Make new and different kind of friends and interest along. Mark 6:39-32; 1 John 3:16-17; James 2:14-18.

*Break through the usual pattern of settings in order to refresh and rejuvenate your laugh. As a Pastor close the church for a week and take members for a picnic or places of interest and have leisure as Jesus did, you won’t lose them. Go for a sporting, boat ride or ship cruise were possible. Go worship in a different Church outside your denomination or setting or go to another branch of your denomination setting and live free to learn of others beyond your usual. In heaven we crave after, there’s no DENOMINATION but BRETHREN, therefore learn now to fellowship with others beyond your settings. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Mark 6:30-32; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29; James 1:26-27; Acts 15:35-36.

* Feed your enemy, give them a drink, for when a man’s way please the Lord, He makes his enemy to be at peace with him. Do you believe it, and can you do it? Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:19-21; Proverbs 16:7; Matthew 5:38-48; 1 John 3:14-15.

* Take someone new to the groceries for shopping and pay the bills. Where possible give someone a home or shelter, mobility and suchlike. Galatians 6:9-10.

*Live your life outside the box this month.  Make peace, relate with those that hurts you though they are the wrong and give God something to work with. Matthew 5:38-48; Romans 12:18-19.

* Resolve not to murmur, complain, nag and blame but take responsibility for once at least this month. It’s time to speak well and whole to all about you again and again. 1 Corinthians 10:10; Proverbs 6:2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Luke 4:22: Hebrews 10:23.

*Dare to do something different this month by taking a good time of yours for an hour or a day or couples to give someone a helping hand of your skill or trade or mentoring without asking for a pay or reward, more especially to the have not or unskilled or limited by some factors. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12; Galatians 5:13; Ephesians 6:5-9; Luke 2:46, 52.

* You are of the New Testament, live your life beyond borders, hence visit your Unchurch friends and share love, hope and faith with them. For once, be of earthly good in your heavenly mindedness. Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29.

BREAK THROUGH YOUR FEARS – ESPECIALLY YOURSELF THIS MONTH: BE A DIFFERENT AMBASSADOR FROM THE USUAL.

Do all things in grace, surely you will be bless.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Finally, brethren, WHATSOEVER things are true, WHATSOEVER things are honest, WHATSOEVER things are just, whatsoever things are pure, WHATSOEVER things are lovely, WHATSOEVER things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him ALL THINGS, both what they HAD DONE, and what they HAD TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves APART into a DESERT PLACE, and REST A WHILE: for there were MANY COMING AND GOING, AND THEY HAD NO LEISURE SO MUCH AS TO EAT. 32 And they DEPARTED into a DESERT PLACE by ship PRIVATELY” Mark 6:30-32.

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

MONTH FEBRUARY: MONTH OF ENSURING THAT YOU PROSPER

By Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY: MONTH OF ENSURING THAT YOU PROSPER BY – “PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS”

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

A JOB is what you are employed and tutored to do and you can be suspended, sacked, retrenched, dismissed and retired even against your will; but A WORK is what you ARE made of, an IN-BUILT in you to do and no man can suspend, sack, dismiss, retrench, retire you except you and you alone and not someone else. It is the DISCOVERY of the WORK and the IN-BUILT work IN you, that makes the difference to make you do things and life differently; and that enables you to be creative, innovative and initiative, in exploring better ways of prospering the work to prosper you in life and grace without stress and anxiety, murmuring and complaining. By knowing and understanding what your work is all about, then you know your WORTH and how you tend toward an onward and upward trajectory to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, because it’s within you.  THINK ABOUT IT!

“WHATEVER YOUR HAND FINDS TO DO, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT; for there is NO ACTIVITY or PLANNING or KNOWLEDGE or WISDOM in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) where you are going” Ecclesiastes 9:10/Amplified.

When you know you work, the wisdom to prosper the work to prosper you, comes naturally. And the act of faithfulness, diligence, prudence, responsibility and accountability that’s built on principle become natural to you. And knowing and understanding your work and your worth in your work, will change your perspective of not blaming others wherever there is momentary challenge and setback in the work. We live in a world where people take delight to blame others in order to create their own narratives and uprising on someone else downfall. Knowing and understanding your work helps you not to be deter by the forces about, no matter the numbers.

GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION NEITHER DANCING TO THE COMMONLY ACCEPTABLE AS AN OPTION WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR WORK AND WORTH.

So, if you wants to prosper, take time to do due diligence in self-discovery of your work and then ensure all it takes to prosper the work that you may prosper along. Your prosperity is in your hand and not in another. The scripture says in Joshua 1:8, it is you that will make your way PROSPEROUS with GOOD SUCCESS, indicating that they are BAD SUCCESS as it’s written:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, and then YOU WILL have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV.

When you consider your work a business under God as Jesus Christ consider His work, a business under God, you will prosper and increase with wisdom, physique and in favour with God and man.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS? . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:49, 52.

“I must WORK THE WORKS of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can WORK” John 9:4.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

And to do business with your work, you have to as a matter of principle to be DILIGENT. And DILIGENCE is not just about hardworking, but about being smart, steadily steady and consistently consistent in FAITH, with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in focus, THRIVING to obtain an effectual and productive result. The otherwise is to be slacked of the work to attract failings and failures instead of prosperity and good success as written:

“He BECOMETH POOR THAT DEALETH WITH A SLACK HAND: but the HAND OF THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. 5 He that GATHERETH IN SUMMER is a WISE son: but he that SLEEPETH IN HARVEST is a son that CAUSETH SHAME” Proverbs 10:4-5.

When you DILIGENTLY TILL YOUR LAND – your WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating, there will be PLENTY of bread to sort you out in life and make you a vessel of blessings to others. To TILL is to CULTIVATE – which means, to PLOUGH, SOW or PLANT and RAISE or PRODUCE. And to ensure that you till the work – you cultivate by ploughing on the work and planting a SEED or CROP or investing say TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (mental and or physical exertion) and other necessary material to NURTURE that endeavour until there’s a product – effect or result.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be satisfied with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

When you are consistently consistent in a steady spirit and faith in that which you set your hearts to do, you will never be disappointed. That’s the spirit of DILIGENCE. It’s REWARDING and EMPOWERING.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

It’s too early to PLAY the LAZY, SLOTHFUL and SLUGGARD card as a fool. It’s time to INITIATE, CREATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE all the necessary possibilities in the work set plan, purpose and pursuit. And DILIGENCE makes it all POSSIBLE.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that FAVOUR my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be MAGNIFIED, which hath PLEASURE IN THE PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27 (Galatians 5:13).

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, and then YOU WILL have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV. (Psalms 19:14; Romans 10:8-10; Luke 4:22).

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

“I must WORK THE WORKS of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can WORK” John 9:4.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in the unrighteous mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST THE TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER MAN’S, who shall GIVE you that WHICH IS YOUR OWN?” Luke 16:10-12.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be satisfied with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH AFTER VAIN persons shall have POVERTY ENOUGH. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be rich shall NOT be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of PERSONS is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and CONSIDERETH not that POVERTY shall come UPON him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“He BECOMETH POOR THAT DEALETH WITH A SLACK HAND: but the HAND OF THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. 5 He that GATHERETH IN SUMMER is a WISE son: but he that SLEEPETH IN HARVEST is a son that CAUSETH SHAME” Proverbs 10:4-5.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

“The SLUGGARD will not PLOW by reason of the COLD; therefore shall he BEG in harvest, and have NOTHING” Proverbs 20:4.

“I went by the FIELD of the SLOTHFUL, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31 and, lo, it was ALL GROWN OVER WITH THORNS, and NETTLES had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33 Yet a little sleep, a LITTLE SLUMBER, a LITTLE FOLDING OF THE HANDS TO SLEEP: 34 so shall thy POVERTY come as one that travelleth; and thy WANT as an armed man” Proverbs 24:30-34.

“GO TO THE ANT, THOU SLUGGARD; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 provideth her meat in the summer, and GATHERETH her food in the harvest. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 Yet a little SLEEP, a little SLUMBER, a little FOLDING of the hands to sleep: 11 so shall thy POVERTY come as one that TRAVELLETH, and thy WANT as an armed man” Proverbs 6:6-11.

There’s in the world and in life, the ongoing of the good and bad things that do happens; and in most cases or scenario, history have proven that the children of this world tends to be good at it and even smarter in it than the called out people of God due to the slumbering attitude toward their scheme of doing life by the world books or terms; and Gods intent is to deliver the Believer’s in Christ of the evils and inhumane activities of the enemy and cohorts, thereby using them as His ambassadors to put an end to the works of  the wicked and their wickedness.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to THE WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

Suffix to say that the evils and wickedness seems to be having upper hands when we see and behold almost daily the activities of the enemy and cohorts. If you are wondering and wandering about why such a scale and speed, it’s simply not a logic, because the BAD and EVIL people and cohorts of this world, understands their moment and tends towards it, acting swiftly, in order to succeed in their craven; and while the Believer’s with all the ENDUEMENT and ENDOWMENT of grace, are in their own domain busy making all the noise and complaints and analysing the evil and wickedness of the enemy through sluggishness and slumbering instead of standing up in grace to take their position in Christ Jesus and put the enemy and cohorts in their place.

The Believer’s position and nature should be towards God’s truth and not by relaxing and watching as evil and wickedness permeates; The Believer can’t be doing nothing about the  state of the evil and evil satanic cohorts, that are working against the Believer’s opportunity to put an end and a permanent stop to it’s work, considering especially the Believer being God’s ambassadors [representatives], on the earth [Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 115:16-18; Genesis 1:26-28].

God’s promises in His WORD are to make all things work together for the good of the call according to their standing on His purpose. For the Believer in Christ Jesus first primary goal with God is for fellowship to enhance their relationship, therein He had endowed and endued them with His enabling power to function and take their place in Him. And as God’s chosen generation and people of His own, the bar and expectations are high by possible in the grace in redemption, but a lack of knowledge towards God’s intent will keep the Believer’s in the ignorance of their position and will eventually suffer along with the evil and wickedness that’s happening in the world that’s being caused and perpetuated by the cohorts for the good of the enemy of the Believer’s faith. [Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Peter 2:5, 9; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15; Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31].

The EVIL and WICKED people succeed in their acts when the GOOD people [the Believer’s] in most cases do bluntly refused to take action against the EVIL and WICKED acts [2 Chronicles 7:12-15; Matthew 16:19; Luke 10:19; Mark 16:15-20; Acts 1:8]. And in order to ensure that it’s only the GOOD and GOODNESS that is allowed to RULE and REIGN over the bad and evil acts of wickedness in our domain of doing life and living godly, the AMBASSADORS of Christ must RISE UP from their slumbering and sluggish position to ensure the righteous cause of their domain reigns supreme to rule over evil and wickedness, for the good of all in society and community of their dwelling.

More so, when the good people remains in the state of sluggishness and slumbering attitude, thereby do nothing or give up their timings and opportunities to exercise and do the needful and necessary expectations in life, with their spiritual endowment and enduement position in grace, and by the authority and dominion given to them of God in Christ Jesus, the evil and wicked are invariably been empowered to succeed, knowingly and unknowingly [Ephesians 2:6; Ephesians 1:3, 20].

And when the GOOD, OVERLOOK the EVIL and WICKEDNESS and INHUMANE and ANIMALISTIC attitude of the enemy and cohorts, in their pursuit of such terrible goals, it then gives away the power of action and permits the evil and wicked cause to accomplish objectives. And in consideration of the many such act of do nothing and stay in sluggishness and slumbering by the good people toward the EVIL and WICKED, we should know then without a shadow of a doubt, except we choose to deceive ourselves, that by the PATH and WAY of our do nothing and watch approach, that we need no Prophet for one to know we will fail in our domain while the enemy and cohorts succeed; for the Kingdom of God is not in human carnality warfare’s, but it is in stand  on grace that results righteousness, peace and joy of the Holy Ghost [Romans 14:17; Romans 5:1-2].

Therefore, it is time to take your place in the kingdom of God scripturally for your good on earth, from the place and position, where we are sitted in the right hand of God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. For you are God’s Diplomat, His representative to determine what goes on in your domain but needs to do it rightly and scripturally to have the heavenly involve in your earthly affairs. That’s what you are created and born of God to be [Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 115:16-18].

Know this for SURE, that we are not called of God in Christ Jesus stead to DO God or DO the God things, but to DO the Scriptures, His WORD, while God DO God in honouring the Scriptures – His WORD. [James 1:22-25; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Mark 16:20]. When you reverse it, you get the fall. For God is no respecter of person’s [Acts 10:34-35].

When you take your place in God, the act of murmuring, complaining, nagging and worrying over matters in your domain will stop. The blame factor is because you think someone else is made to do it good, forgotten that the destiny of your domain is in your reach. You think someone else have taken your place and right in life, when you know you’ve done things that are not Scripturally expected, and are not TRUTHFUL and APPROVED of God, though men may have APPLAUD it for your egoism. Know again for sure, that God only honour, commend and approves His WORD. And the ministering spirits – Angels of the God that are messengers to minister to us as the heirs of God’s redemption, only HARKENS to the VOICE of God’s WORD and not to any form of noise making and human obsessions resulting to sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. [Acts 2:22; Make 16:19-20. Psalms 103:20-22; Hebrews 1:7, 14].

Are you still sleeping in grace? It’s time to wake up, head up, raise your shoulder high and put on your higher heels of FAITH – for it’s time to take up your place in grace and exercise it SCRIPTURALLY – you are god’s DIPLOMAT – you are God’s AMBASSADOR [1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11; Romans 8:37; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; 1 Peter 2:9-10].

And may you always remember that when the good people refusal to take their place in life in Christ Jesus, it makes evil and the evil people to thrive in their acts. Don’t Let It happen on your watch – Lets rise and do the scriptural needful for the good of all.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

“What is man, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.

“. . . I will give you the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven; and WHATEVER you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth MUST be what is ALREADY bound in heaven; and whatever you LOOSE (declare lawful) on earth] MUST be what is ALREADY loosed in heaven” Matthew 16:16-19 (Amplified).

MARITAL BLESSEDNESS – A CALL OF GOD TO INHERIT A BLESSING

MARITAL BLESSEDNESS – A CALL OF GOD TO INHERIT A BLESSING: AND GOD BLESSED THEM AND YOURS IS BLESSED!

“Likewise, ye WIVES, be in SUBJECTION [SUBMISSIVE] to your OWN husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be WON by the CONVERSATION [CONDUCT] of the wives . . . 7 Likewise, ye HUSBANDS, DWELL WITH THEM ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS together of the GRACE of life; that your PRAYERS be NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having COMPASSION one of another, LOVE as brethren, be PITIFUL, be COURTEOUS: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING . . . 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the RIGHTEOUS, and his EARS are open unto their PRAYERS: but the FACE of the Lord is AGAINST them that do EVIL” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

I don’t know how you see marriage or your marriage – whether you see it as BLESSED and a BLESSING or CURSED or a CURSE or a MISTAKE; but I wants you to know that MARRIAGE is a marital BLESSEDNESS irrespective of the challenges and difficult times you have or may be going through right now in your relationship. Marriage in God’s design and perspective is BLESSED and a BLESSING and yours is BLESSED, and not CURSED or a CURSE and neither a MISTAKE in any context of your perception. And you must know and understand that to being BLESSED, means to be EMPOWERED to – succeed, achieve, enrich, thrive, become, prosper and such like. And you have an inherent DNA of God’s gracious empowerment to make your marriage fulfil purpose meaningfully by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“THE BLESSING of the Lord BRINGS [true] RICHES, And He ADDS NO SORROW to it [for it comes as a BLESSING from God]” Proverbs 10:22/Amplified.

“BLESSED and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED us with EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING in the heavenly realms in Christ” Ephesians 1:3/Amplified.

Marriage in God’s eye is BLESSED and a BLESSING in His BLESSEDNESS; and it is considered as a special CALL of God for all who choose to get involved into it by FAITH in Him, in order to INHERIT the marital BLESSING of His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For God BLESSED them – [male and female] – Adam and Eve, in His first marital BLESSEDNESS to set out His intent to all of mankind. And His intent is for all to enjoy the same-like BLESSEDNESS as we do life and live godly to fulfil His call [commission] and assignment [purpose] in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“So God created MAN in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE and FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:27-28.

And if you want God to become a part of you and your marital journey, you must as a matter of principle, see marriage the way God’s sees it in His context – as a calling to INHERIT a BLESSING – that’s as PURE and SIMPLE. It’s either you agreed to see it in God’s perception and perspective or stay in your own self-made and world-made and the man-made delusion. For God CREATED and MADE marriage, and it’s His way and path it shall be for now and tomorrow for all who believes in His context in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And you have to live to by FAITH in order to blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in this marital BLESSEDNESS; and if you must be victorious and triumphant in every way of doing life and living godly, in order to ensure that God’s enabling grace it’s at work to enable you overcome the challenging and difficult times that comes along with marriage, you must set your default to faith in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. It’s by faith that you can ensure the practicality and activities to overcome the state of things in this present depraved world system.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“But WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

I want you to know full well, that God will always COMMEND what He COMMANDS. He won’t break His WORD that He has taken an OATH to authenticate on the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel. For He BLESSED them – male and female – that they might share in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

“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” Hebrews 6:17-19.

Your marriage is BLESSED – knowingly and unknowingly. And it’s not about you, but about Him, who had MADE MARRIAGE; and it’s by Him only also that it works, irrespective of any of your feelings and sentiments and prejudice about marriage and God, in all perspectives. I do pray that your marriage will  enjoy God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace and become a living blessing to others in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“The Lord BLESS thee, and keep thee: 25 the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace” Numbers 6:24-26.

It’s my utmost wishes that you stay married and that your marriage being BLESSED may flourish, rejuvenate and blossom as in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:9-12.

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

By Leave a Comment

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES: BE A – WITNESS – LEADER – AND COMMANDER – AN OVERCOMER – IN YOUR WORLDS!

“Behold, I have GIVEN him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

We live today in a very challenging and difficult times – individuals, families and collective society are facing all sorts – both privately and publicly in thoughts or and indeed, to various segments of wants and needs. And the height of trials, temptations and seduction are increasing and mounting up the more especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus – and it’s simply because the enemy and cohorts, knows their days and times are numbered and time is running out on them. But do you as a Believer in Christ Jesus, KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS THE TIMES that you are currently living and running on in God’s schedule? Do you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus stead, do really UNDERSTAND your timeline just as the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR did to be exclusively different and unique to be leaders?  Do you know and understand what you OUGHT to do to LEAD and to be the COMMANDER – meaning to be in charge – than blaming others for your limitations as an entitlement?

“And of the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“Behold, I have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

Some of the trials, temptations and challenges tends to make one go along with the flow, even when you know full well, it leads to sin and sinful behaviour, while others events are obvious that it may or will cost you your career, leadership, marriage, relationship, opportunity, integrity, position, shame, embarrassment and such like. There’s the need to know that the appetite for the craziness because everyone is doing it or it appeals to you specially or it’s an avenue of meeting and solving the problems and difficulties you are going through may ends badly as a Believer in Christ Jesus; especially when you know it’s obvious it contradicts the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that can sets one free, and being able to know the needs to uphold in the face of any heights of such trials and temptations, the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH.

“There hath NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is COMMON to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER you to be tempted ABOVE that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; JUDGE [EXAMINE] ye what I SAY” 1 Corinthians 10:13-15.

“Prove all things; HOLD FAST that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23.

May I announce to you that there is an enabling grace in God to say NO. I mean to say again NO and NO and to sound it loud – NOOOOOOOOOO (is there an English word as such a loud NO, I don’t think so, just an expression). It thus means that, there is an enabling of God in grace to overcome the little and great height challenges in your worlds of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. Sometimes you need to run away and in some cases to flee from every appearance of that which defile the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in your life.

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT AND GODLY LIVES IN THIS PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 NIV.

The ENEMY and COHORTS knows your WORTH. Do you know your WORTH? And they have prized, and price tagged on you. Do you know God’s prized and price tagged on you in REDEMPTION just as He said of Job (Job 1:6-12), I KNOW him and of Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19), I KNOW him. Can God say he KNOWS you, knowing you will uphold your being in Him by the enabling grace He has given to you to say NO, or RUN or FLEE when it’s obviously necessary that your POSSIBILITIES by God is about to be jeopardize by self, the world and probably the devil and cohorts. You know the drill, yeah, you know the drill. Take a STAND in grace today. Romans 5:1-2; Ephesians 6:10-14; 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I make bold to say that you are a World made Overcomer in Christ Jesus. The default is in you in Christ Jesus stead to face trials, temptations and such like and still OVERCOME. James 1:2-8; 1 Corinthians 10:13-15. You can make it a reality and possibility by Believing and acting accordingly in FAITH. Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 11:6. This is the VICTORY that helps you overcomes your worlds of doing life and living godly – it’s your FAITH on the Scriptural truth to say NO or RUN or FLEE when necessary for your good and the good of others especially too, who looks up to you to ensure TESTIMONY of GRACE and TRUTH in our God. Revelation 12:11. Revelation 19:10.

I pray today that you be emboldened and endeavour to ensure that the enabling grace of God within you works for you to be and remain the OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and TRIUMPHANT Believer of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. (1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 5:4-5).

Have an awesome day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

TODAY – THIS DAY – IT’S A NEW DAY AND A NEW DAWN FOR A NEW YOU

By Leave a Comment

TODAY – THIS DAY – IT’S A NEW DAY AND A NEW DAWN FOR A NEW YOU: DON’T TREAT YOUR NEW DAWN DAY AS ANOTHER OF THE SAME!

“Be not HASTY IN THY SPIRIT TO BE ANGRY: for ANGER resteth in the bosom of FOOLS. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? for thou DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:9-10

It’s time to see each NEW DAY as a NEW DAWN DAY for a NEW YOU and not THE SAME as the passed days or passing days of good or bad, if you must earnestly enact and authenticate God’s intent for you on the new day. For every single new dawn day has it’s purpose under God for you. And you are a child of purpose and must not yesterday setback to hold back your today and tomorrow. There’s every reason in Christ Jesus to celebrate each new day as a new day dawn with God’s assured prophetic word of grace that outshines every dark places and darkness that have overshadowed our well being. And by the MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY God’s purpose remains assured as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“THIS IS THE DAY which the LORD HATH MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24.

“We have also a MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until THE DAY DAWN, and the day STAR ARISE in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Therefore, arise in the spirit of your mind with the Lord’s grace to rejoice and shine on your God’s given opportunity and opportunities for A NEW DAWN DAY FOR A NEW YOU. For it’s your dawn day as we closed into the last few days in the week of the end of the month and to turn the new page of the start of a new month of the year. This spirited and heartedness is to help to ensure and endorse your best PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT of soaring in DOMINION and EXALTATION. It’s your new dawn day of living by the EXALTED and GREATER LIFE of God in you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Ephesians 1:17-23; 1 John 4:4; Philippians 2:9-11].

I do think and do know that it will be gracious and graceful to see each day, week and month of the year as a fresh NEW DAWN and not as ANOTHER OF THE SAME; that’s healthily needful as we come toward the last lapse of the end of month beginning – JANUARY; and to help us enhance the YEAR, is by making the upcoming MONTH – FEBRUARY, to be seen as a New dawn, made of God for us to live through by His grace, wisdom and speed in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And God’s earnest intent is for us to shine brighter and brighter into our perfect day for each dawn day that we have of Him.

“But the PATH of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, that SHINES more and more (brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT DAY [to be prepared]” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified Classic Edition.

Therefore, lets enter the NEW Day and New Dawn – TODAY, with an attitude of grace and peace, as we approach the upcoming Month FEBRUARY with these vitalities:

* TRUST not SUSPICION

* GRACE not GREED

* GLADNESS not GRIEVANCE

* HOPE not HOPELESSNESS

* LOVE not HATRED, EVIL and WICKEDNESS

* FORGIVENESS not UNFORGIVING and REVENGE

* PLEASURE not PRESSURE and DEPRESSION

* REST and LEISURE not STRESS and DISTRESS

* FAITH not FATE, FAKE and FEAR

* GRATITUDE not UNGRATEFULNESS

* GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS and not the CONTRARY

** . . . And in many such like . . .

For TODAY – it is your DAWN Day in the Week and month to maximise; see it as the DAY that the Lord God has made for our good to REJOICE and be GLAD in it. It’s a NEW DAY in the DAWN WEEK – and it’s NOT ANOTHER of the SAME. And God wants to make all things – the good and the bad irrespective – to work together for our good on each NEW DAWN that comes, in our doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAWN DAY IN THIS AMAZING WEEK AS JANUARY ENDS WHILE MONTH FEBRUARY BEGINS

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR – BEGIN YOUR DAY WITH THANKS: MAKE THANKSGIVING – A DAILY LIVING PRACTICE!

“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.

We are ending MONTH JANUARY in few days and to kick start MONTH FEBRUARY. Won’t it be a delightful moment to end and start with an ATTITUDE of a heartfelt GRATITUDE for your ALTITUDE. This means to end January and start February with THANKSGIVING a DAILY LIVING practice. A daily life doses of thanksgiving emancipates and delivers one from the position of anxiousness and worrisome to a place wherein God floods and garrisons our hearts with the peace of assurance that our expectations in PRAYERS in Christ Jesus will surely come to fruition. Amen. Giving THANKS ensures and assures our VICTORY in Christ Jesus stead. Fill up your lips and mouth with a THANKFUL and GRATEFUL heart. It liberates and stabilises your onward and upward trajectory journey in the grace.

“But THANKS be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

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

You can make it the most gracious, graceful and awesome PATH OF LIFE to embrace and experience, with the Father God in Christ Jesus, through your daily walk in life and grace. Our Lord Jesus mouth in humanity was full of gracious words and ever thankful and grateful to Father God for the work on earth.

“And ALL BARE HIM WITNESS and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

The GIVING of THANKS as a daily LIVING PRACTICE means, giving THANKS ALWAYS for ALL THINGS to God in Jesus name – for ALL God HAS DONE, He IS DOING and He WILL GET DONE in and through us even in the MIDST of both the good times and through other life difficulties and challenging times.

“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.

More so, I want you to know that you must consciously keep up to your righteous attitude in Christ Jesus stead, even in the MIDST of all the various difficult times, painful circumstances and challenges. You mustn’t allow your circumstances to so overwhelmed you to forget who you ARE in God; and that God has QUALIFIED you and MADE you to meet the REQUIREMENTS that ushered you to share in the INHERITANCE of His GRACIOUS PEOPLE in the LIGHT by Christ Jesus. And that ALL THINGS – the known and unknown circumstances and challenges – will surely WORK out for YOUR GOOD in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED and MADE us to share in the INHERITANCE of the SAINTS (God’s people) in the LIGHT. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of DARKNESS, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:11-14 (Amplified).

BEGIN YOUR DAY IN THIS LIGHT, of gracious and graceful ATTITUDE of a heartfelt GRATITUDE for your ALTITUDE in Christ Jesus.

I pray you have an awesome day through the rest of the week, turning you into a brand new month FEBRUARY as you end month JANUARY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
