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

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

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

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

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of His grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among ALL them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32. 

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

EVERY BLESSING: Let us pray now. 

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

KEY POINTS 

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

CALL TO ACTION 

LET US PRAY IT INTO REALITY NOW: 

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

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

PUBLISHING The WORD . . . REDEEMING The WORLD By The WORD!

PUBLISHING The WORD . . . REDEEMING The WORLD By The WORD! 

“The Lord gave The WORD: great was the company of those that PUBLISHED it” Psalms 68:11. 

It is about PUBLISHING the Gospel of Redemption — from the grips and bondages of SIN in nature and its effects: POVERTY, SICKNESS, and SPIRITUAL DEATH. 
Resulting in being made the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

And being made RIGHTEOUS and JUSTIFIED, these rights and privileges position one to STAND IN GRACE — unashamed, without wrath, without doubt, free from guilt, acquitted and qualified — to access God in the hope and glory of God in Christ Jesus. 
This is a tangible reality: TO BECOME OF GOD in Christ Jesus in the grace. 
“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this grace in which we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED 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. 

“I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, WITHOUT WRATH and DOUBTING” 1 Timothy 2:8. 

Therefore, go forth and publish the Gospel of Redemption, if indeed you’ve received the rights and privileges of God in Christ Jesus, the reality is tangible to share with your friends, family and love one’s, except you’ve lied to yourself. 

God’s grace and speed.  

Shalom!

  1. THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF THE REDEEMED

    HAVE ACCESS TO GOD — in the hope and glory of God in Christ Jesus. 
    BE QUALIFIED PARTAKERS — “Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has DELIVERED us… and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love” [Colossians 1:12-14]. 
  1. THE MANDATE: PUBLISH IT
    We are Ambassadors — God pleads through us: “be reconciled to God” [2 Corinthians 5:20]. 
    Beautiful are the feet of those who PUBLISH PEACE and PUBLISH SALVATION [Isaiah 52:7]. 
    Pray without wrath and doubting [1 Timothy 2:8], and go forth to PREACH THE GOSPEL [Romans 10:15]. 

 CALL TO ACTION

God’s Eyes ARE On You

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE 

By Leave a Comment

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE – YOU WORTH MORE! 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

A friend of mine just wrote a book that is worth exploring. I didn’t hesitate to order myself a copy, and as soon as the book reaches my doorstep, I wasted no time unpacking it and getting into it. I was reading on my staircase because I know it’s a spiritual meal worth having, knowing who it’s written by. [Matthew 13:44-46]. 

For wisdom, the application of knowledge comes at a cost — and it’s worth it when you know the value of your worth and the need and essence to keep your worth continuously refreshed, rekindled, rejuvenated, and blossoming in life and grace. 

How much do you think you ARE WORTH? 
How much are you INVESTING in your WORTH to make it appreciate EVEN MORE? 
What’s the price tag on your current lifestyle? 
Don’t you intend to spice up your current stage and phase of life for a healthier place? 
Are you still fresh, or are you refreshing and rejuvenating your mind and thoughts? 
Are you still stuck in your old mindset and setbacks? 
Are you living purposefully and meaningfully for a cause? 
Are you truly LIVING, or are you just managing to EXIST? 

I just want you to know that YOU ARE WORTH A LIFE and you need to LIVE YOUR WORTH. 

It’s time to take a PAUSE and THINK about it for a moment before you take your next step of action.  

“Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:3-5. 

Today, I just discovered that my wife, Faith, is investing time, money, and effort with a friend to learn new and better ways of cooking delicious meals — moving beyond the usual and normal — to add to our family menu. I’ve chosen to delay my eating time so I can be the taster. She doesn’t know it yet, except you inform her. Yes, I really do. 

And not too long ago, she was also investing in books to expand her horizons of knowledge on subjects worth exploring explicitly — subjects that matter to her dearly — instead of waiting for second- or third-hand information that may have been distorted and adulterated from the original. Especially now in our world of social experiments that are polluted with misinformation and disinformation across the board. 

However, living a microwave, quick-fix life and depending only on fast, ready-made meals will not do you any good in the long run. 
And with the dynamics, changes, and challenges in the world, you cannot afford to remain static, or to put new wine in old wineskins. 
There has to be a new you for your new day. 
From one glory to another glory, glowing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 

When last did you really INVEST — TIME, FINANCE, and EFFORT — to acquire the required and needed KNOWLEDGE to spice up, improve, promote, rekindle, and synergise your current life status, or address the dysfunctional limitations and lack of skill in areas such as: 

  • CAREER or TRADE 
  • MARRIAGE or MARITAL & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS 
  • FRIENDSHIP 
  • BUSINESS ENTERPRISE 
  • LEADERSHIP SKILLS 
  • MINISTERIAL POTENTIAL 
  • COOKING/COOKERY 
  • COMMUNICATION 

And more of such. 

Don’t you know it’s high time you READ to ACQUIRE skill or knowledge, or LEARN to EARN more — in order to improve the quality of your life in grace? 
This may mean attending a training course, going for a refreshing seminar or conference, or taking a different turn from the usual to help you innovate, create, initiate, and explore — in order to be built up — at the cost of TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL, and EFFORT. 

Look within and you will see that there is so much within you yet to be EXPLORED in order to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, and bring about your best and ultimate wellbeing in LIFE and GODLY LIVING  

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it HE GOES AND SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD AND BOUGHT IT” Matthew 13:44-46 NKJV. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the way of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine. 

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is hard (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine. 

Know for sure that living and sustaining a colourful life — one that is genuine and lived in GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS, without stress, sweat, and depression — is not cheap and not out there by mere wishes. 

Hence the need to INVEST in the needed KNOWLEDGE to CHANGE your world for good and to CREATE the atmosphere you want to see, enjoy, and live within. 

For you are the custodian of your own happiness and joy, and not someone else that you want to blame — as many have done in ignorance, stupidity, and foolishness.  

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

You are the architect of your world — whether it is good or hurting at the moment. 

It’s your time to ARISE and GLOW through NEEDED KNOWLEDGE. 

Don’t let ignorance, foolishness, stupidity, presumption, illusions, and procrastination keep you static, burnt out, and worn out — especially in those needed places that ARE WORTH INVESTING your TIME, FINANCE, and EFFORT: your marital relationship, business enterprise, career, or trade, and such like. 

It’s time to update your world for GRACIOUSNESS, GRACEFULNESS, FRUITFULNESS, and BLESSEDNESS. 

Listen — I love PRAYER and I enjoy God’s PRESENCE in PRAYER; but please, please, don’t use PRAYER to OVERLOOK your ambassadorial place of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in the PRINCIPLE of doing life and living godly by God’s WORD in context. 

Know for sure that FAITH without WORKS is dead — inactive, inoperative — and it stands alone. 
PRAYER without corresponding ACTION will keep one MOANING, COMPLAINING, and BLAMING others through life. 

Take the scales off your eyes and look up to the stars — you can shine again. 
The Daystar lives in you for your dawn day to glow — [2 Peter 1:19; Proverbs 4:18].  

GIVE YOUR CURRENT LIFE A MEANING – INVEST IN KNOWLEDGE – YOU WORTH A HEALTHIER LIVING – BUT FIRSTLY IN MINDS AND THOUGHTS – AND EVERY OTHER THINGS WILL FALL IN PLACE. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV (Emphasis Mine). 

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:6 NKJV. 

“THEREFORE MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE into CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15 NKJV. 

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it HE GOES AND SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD AND BOUGHT IT” Matthew 13:44-46 NKJV. 

“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. 

“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:11-12. 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32. 

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, KNOWING of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE to make thee WISE unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 

“Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:3-5. 

SUMMARY: 
The message teaches us that your life is built, sustained, and upgraded by KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, and UNDERSTANDING. A purposeless, static, and ignorant life leads to destruction. But a life invested in — with TIME, FINANCE, and EFFORT — becomes GRACIOUS, GRACEFUL, FRUITFUL, and BLESSED. PRAYER must be paired with ACTION and RESPONSIBILITY. You are the architect of your world. ARISE, GLOW, and LIVE YOUR WORTH. 

KEY THEMES & BREAKDOWN 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: KNOWLEDGE IS TREASURE
    Scriptural Mandate — “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” [Matthew 22:29]. Lack of knowledge leads to captivity and destruction [Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15]. 
    Wisdom Builds — “Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches” [Proverbs 24:3-5]. 
    Wisdom is Principal — “Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” [Proverbs 4:7]. 
    Kingdom Value — Like the man who sold all for the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price [Matthew 13:44-46], knowledge is worth any cost. 
  1. THE CALL: INVEST IN YOUR WORTH
    Self-Examination — How much are you WORTH? How much are you INVESTING in your WORTH? What’s the price tag on your lifestyle? Are you LIVING or just EXISTING? 
    Refuse Stagnation — Don’t remain in old mindsets, setbacks, or a microwave, quick-fix life. “You cannot put new wine in old wineskins. There has to be a new you for your new day.” 
    Areas to Invest In: 
    CAREER/TRADE, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIPS, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS, LEADERSHIP, MINISTRY, COOKING, COMMUNICATION, and more. 
    Invest through READING, TRAINING, SEMINARS, CONFERENCES — at the cost of TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL, and EFFORT. 
    Personal Example — The writer’s wife Faith is investing to learn new cooking and reading books to get first-hand knowledge instead of distorted information. The writer chooses to be the taster and supports the growth. 
  1. THE WARNING: RESPONSIBILITY OVER EXCUSES
    You Are The Architect — “You are the architect of your world — whether it is good or hurting.” You are the custodian of your happiness and joy. Stop blaming others in ignorance, stupidity, and foolishness. 
    Don’t Use Prayer as an Escape — “I love PRAYER… but don’t use PRAYER to OVERLOOK your ambassadorial place of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY.” 
    “FAITH without WORKS is dead. PRAYER without ACTION will keep one MOANING, COMPLAINING, and BLAMING.” 
    Avoid the Pitfalls — Don’t let ignorance, foolishness, presumption, illusions, and procrastination keep you static, burnt out, and worn out. 
  1. THE PROMISE: ARISE AND GLOW
    From Glory to Glory — “From one glory to another glory, glowing in the Lord Jesus Christ.” 
    Light Within — Take the scales off your eyes and look up to the stars — you can shine again. The Daystar lives in you for your dawn day to glow [2 Peter 1:19; Proverbs 4:18]. 
    Victory Through Faith — “This is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH” [1 John 5:4-5]. Be DILIGENT, not SLOTHFUL [Hebrews 6:11-12]. 
    God’s Word Builds You — “The WORD of his grace… is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE” [Acts 20:32]. Scripture makes you WISE and thoroughly FURNISHED [2 Timothy 3:14-17]. 

FINAL CHARGE 

GIVE YOUR CURRENT LIFE A MEANING – INVEST IN KNOWLEDGE – YOU ARE WORTH A HEALTHIER LIVING – BUT FIRSTLY IN MINDS AND THOUGHTS – AND EVERY OTHER THING WILL FALL IN PLACE. 

Summary in one line 
The message is a prophetic push to stop making excuses, stop blaming, and start INVESTING deliberately so your life, family, career, and ministry can move from existence to purpose, from stress to GRACIOUSNESS, and from darkness to GLOW.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: DEPICTS AS LOVING (LOVELY), GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN LIFE AND GRACE! 

“For no one can lay a FOUNDATION other than the one which is [ALREADY] laid, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11 Amplified. 

“Husbands, LOVE your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH and GAVE Himself up for her, 26 so that He might SANCTIFY THE CHURCH, having cleansed her by the washing of water with THE WORD [of God], 27 so that [in turn] He might present THE CHURCH to Himself in GLORIOUS splendor, WITHOUT spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be HOLY [set apart for God] and blameless” Ephesians 5:25-27 Amplified. 

The Church of God is depicted as the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus — superior to any force and power known or yet to be known, in any human history past, present, and future. 

He is our Commandant who rules and reigns supreme in the heavenly, beneath the earth, and also on the earth — at any time, any day, and everywhere at the same time. 
For God is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient — unlimited by geography and territories as He has apportioned them in the world. [Acts 17:24-31; Ephesians 1:21-23; Ephesians 3:20-21; Philippians 3:20-21]. 

The beauty, graciousness, gracefulness, and goodness of this unparalleled army is this: 
The Captain of the Host of the Lord’s Army who leads her is an indescribable and invincible being, angelically assisted, with armoury that is not of human craft for any warfare. [Joshua 5:13-14; Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalm 103:20]. 

And this army is not limited by geography, people, tribe, culture, tongue, class, status, or colour. 
It is visible in every place of human dwelling on planet earth. 

 

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he LIFTED up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?” Joshua 5:13-14. 

“And of the ANGELS he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to MINISTER for them who shall be HEIRS OF SALVATION?” Hebrews 1:7, 14. 

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO his commandments, HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20. 

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God, is glamorous, authentic and genuine and real to making a difference in humanity as characterised for the following reasons but not limited: 

  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is LOVING AND LOVELY! – Galatians 5:6, 13; 1 John 4:7-21 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is GLORIOUS AND SPOTLESS! – Ephesians 5:25-33. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead is MILITANT SOLDIER-LIKE IN WARFARE! – 2 Timothy 2:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Timothy 1:18-19; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead is TRIUMPHANT AND TRIUMPHING! – 2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15: 1, 21. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead is VICTORIOUS! – 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:4. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead is OVERCOMING AND OVERCOMER! – 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 2:14; 1 John 4:4. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead is MORE THAN A CONQUEROR AND CONQUEST! – Romans 8:31-37. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesu’s stead is THE HEAVENLY AMBASSADOR, EMBASSY AND REPRESENTATIVE! – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Ephesians 6:20; Proverbs 13:17. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead is EMBOLDENED AND FEARLESS. 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 John 4:17-18; Hebrews 2:14-15; Hebrews 4:14-16. 
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead is built on GOD’S HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS. 1 Corinthians 1:30; Romans 10:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:17-21; Romans 14:17; Romans 1:16-17. 

. . . and such like. 

There’s so much to write about the LOVING AND LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE, SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT Church of God — that embodies the UNPARALLELED ARMY of who you ARE in Christ Jesus. 

I do believe that as you take time to study the Holy Writ on your own, you will discover MORE of who you are and how to actualise it to make the needed difference in your life and in the world. 

I pray that you will live meaningfully as a loving and lovely, glorious, militant-like, soldier and triumphant Church of God in Christ Jesus. 
Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . 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. 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another” Galatians 5:6, 13. 

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to LOVE one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his LOVE is PERFECTED in us . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 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. 19 We LOVE him, because he first LOVED us. 20 If a man say, I LOVE God, and HATETH his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he LOVE God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who LOVETH God LOVE his brother also” 1 John 4:7-21. 

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself . . . 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and THE CHURCH . . .” Ephesians 5:25-33. 

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a GOOD SOLDIER of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath CHOSEN him to be a SOLDIER” 2 Timothy 2:3-4. 

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER OF HIS MIGHT. 11 Put on the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. 12 For we WRESTLE not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20. 

“For though we WALK in the flesh, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our WARFARE are not CARNAL (MAN MADE), but MIGHTY through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. 

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck” 1 Timothy 1:18-19. 

“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. 

“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea . . . 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea” Exodus 15:1, 21. 

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

“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. 

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD of their testimony; and they LOVED not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37. 

“. . . 20 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 5:17-21.

SPIRITUAL RESOURCE: EMPOWERING YOUR TODAY AND TOMORROW SPIRITUALLY! 

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL RESOURCE: EMPOWERING YOUR TODAY AND TOMORROW SPIRITUALLY!  

It’s time to update your life again and keep free from worries, fears, and dismay through KNOWLEDGE. 

Wisdom to do life and live godly is the application of knowledge. 
Knowledge delivers and emancipates. 
Our transformation is a reflection of our informed state of being through knowledge. 

It takes an informed person to make an informed decision that transforms. 
And an informed person who makes informed decisions that transform is a READER — meaning one who gives attendance to reading. 

And that’s what makes an informed leader, that makes informed leadership, that makes an informed society with an informed community, which indicates an informed nation.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

“Till I come, GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING, to exhortation, to doctrine” 1 Timothy 4:13. 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with ALL thy getting GET understanding” Proverbs 4:7. 

“Through WISDOM is an HOUSE BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the CHAMBERS be FILLED with all PRECIOUS and PLEASANT riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in MULTITUDE of counsellors there is SAFETY” Proverbs 24:3-6. 

All BOOKS available at:

BE BLESSED. 

SUMMARY: 
The message teaches us that your present and future are secured and empowered through KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, and UNDERSTANDING. A life free from worries, fears, and dismay is built by deliberately updating yourself through reading and applying God’s Word. Transformation, leadership, and nation-building all begin with an informed person. READ, GET WISDOM, AND BUILD. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE CALL: UPDATE YOUR LIFE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
    Freedom from Burdens — It’s time to update your life again and be free from worries, fears, and dismay through KNOWLEDGE. 
    Knowledge = Deliverance — Knowledge delivers and emancipates. It is the foundation for godly living and wise decisions. 
    Transformation is Informed — Our transformation is a reflection of our informed state of being. You cannot transform what you do not know. 
  1. THE CHAIN: FROM READER TO NATION

There is a direct progression: 
READER → INFORMED PERSON → INFORMED DECISIONS → INFORMED LEADER → INFORMED LEADERSHIP → INFORMED SOCIETY/COMMUNITY → INFORMED NATION. 
“An informed person who makes informed decisions that transform is a READER — one who gives attendance to reading.” 
The health of a nation begins with people who read. 

  1. SCRIPTURAL MANDATE FOR KNOWLEDGE
    Give Attendance to Reading — “Till I come, GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING, to exhortation, to doctrine” [1 Timothy 4:13]. Reading is a spiritual discipline. 
    Wisdom is Principal — “WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with ALL thy getting GET understanding” [Proverbs 4:7]. Pursue it above all else. 
    Wisdom Builds, Knowledge Fills — “Through WISDOM is an HOUSE BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: and by KNOWLEDGE shall the CHAMBERS be FILLED with all PRECIOUS and PLEASANT riches.” 
    A WISE man is STRONG and a man of KNOWLEDGE increases STRENGTH. 
    Wise counsel brings victory and safety [Proverbs 24:3-6]. 
  1. PRACTICAL APPLICATION

The message is tied to SPIRITUAL RESOURCES — BOOKS. 
Books are available at: Amazon UK, Waterstones, AuthorHouse, Barnes & Noble, ChukiemorsiBooks.com, and other leading online bookstores. 
This is a call to invest in materials that build you spiritually, mentally, and practically. 

FINAL CHARGE 

To empower your TODAY and TOMORROW spiritually, you must: 

  1. READ — Give attendance to it.
  2. GET WISDOM & UNDERSTANDING — Apply knowledge. 
  3. BUILD YOUR LIFE — Let wisdom establish you and knowledge fill you with riches. 
  4. LEAD — Because informed people create informed homes, churches, societies, and nations.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God 

By Leave a Comment

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God: The PERSONIFIED Church That’s Spirit-Filled, Word-Filled, Love-Filled, Hope-Filled And Faith-Filled! 

“But KNOW that the Lord hath SET APART him that is GODLY for Himself: the Lord will HEAR when I CALL unto him” Psalms 4:3. 

The UNPARALLELED ARMY — the Church of God in Christ Jesus — is spiritually charged, energized, and synergized, and SET APART uniquely as a WORD-BASED Church for the GLORY and PRAISE of God, in the person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ [Psalm 4:3]. 

Even so, Christ Jesus in His humanity INSTRUCTED that those who will be followers called DISCIPLES to be enlisted as the UNPARALLELED ARMY of the Church of God in Him, must CONTINUE in His WORD as a de facto standard — without compromise of any sort and in every respect, irrespective of anything known or unknown — so that they might share in the INHERITANCE that is for all who are SANCTIFIED — SET APART by His WORD.  

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, IF YE CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32. 

Another gracious, fundamental, and foundational basis that makes the WORD-BASED UNPARALLELED ARMY — The Church of God so unequalled, is her rooting and grounding as a Spirit-Filled, Love-Filled, Hope-Filled, and Faith-Filled Church of God in Christ Jesus. 
Amen. 

This aforementioned reality — and not limited to it — cannot be obtained anywhere else in the parallel universe. 

And it is efficacious because of the effectual and efficient working that is energized and synergized by the blessed Holy Spirit through the WORD of God into the being of the UNPARALLELED ARMY — the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus — which you ARE in Him. 
Amen.  

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHLY) 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/Emphasis Mine. 

The UNPARALLELED ARMY is located in every place of doing life in humanity on the earth and is not limited by geography. 
It is multi-generational, nondenominational, multilingual, multicultural, multidimensional, and more. 

And you ARE that UNPARALLELED ARMY — the Church of God in Christ Jesus — born of God, and is both locally and universally located, accessible, and reachable with a liveable and lovable personality. 

And this UNPARALLELED Church cannot be trivialized or denominationalized; and more still, cannot be measured by culture, colour, gender, tongue, or geography. 

It is called the Church of God — beyond walls, borders, and nations.  

“And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have REDEEMED US to God by Your blood Out of EVERY TRIBE and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION, 10 And have MADE US kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“For you are ALL sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER JEW nor GREEK, there is NEITHER slave nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:26-29. 

“Give NO OFFENSE, either to the JEWS or to the GREEKS or to the CHURCH OF GOD, 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33. 

“For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no DISTINCTION between JEW and GREEK, for the same Lord over all is RICH TO ALL who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:11-13. 

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus is YOU, THE LOCAL and THE UNIVERSAL body of Christ Jesus; and it’s characterised with Holy Spirit synergised character and energised Dunamis and charisma, in all personality because of these but not limited in endowments and enduements: 

  • You ARE the Spirit-Filled Church 
  • You ARE the Word-Filled Church  
  • You ARE the Love-Filled Church  
  • You ARE the Hope-Filled Church  
  • You ARE the Faith-Filled Church 

When you begin to manifest in essence who you ARE in Christ Jesus, the Spirit of the Greater One in you will begin to work through you to make the needed difference — to cause OTHERS to come and join this uniquely set apart, unparalleled army that is invincibly and angelically assisted to do the kingdom cause of God, in keeping the enemy and his cohorts at bay. 

Be the difference in someone’s life as the UNPARALLELED ARMY — the CHURCH of God, for the good of others near you and through you.  

“Little children (believers, dear ones), you ARE of God and you belong to Him and have [already] OVERCOME them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is IN you is GREATER than he (Satan) who is IN the world [of sinful mankind]. 5 They [who teach twisted doctrine] ARE of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them. 6 We [who teach God’s word] ARE from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan]” 1 John 4:4-6/AMP. 

I hereby in God’s grace do urge you to get yourself spirited in grace by being the UNPARALLELED ARMY- the CHURCH of God that’s SPIRIT-FILLED, WORD-FILLED, LOVE-FILLED, HOPE-FILLED and FAITH-FILLED in all that pertains to doing life and living godly on earth, until our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus returns. 

BLESSED REGARDS IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS. MARANATHA! 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is. 18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and CONSTANTLY guided by Him. 19 Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, [offering praise by] singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ” Ephesians 5:17-21 Amplified. 

“For we [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, SET APART for His purpose and] ARE the true circumcision, who WORSHIP in the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult in Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we have or who we are] in the flesh” Philippians 3:3 Amplified. 

“But a time is coming and is already here when the TRUE WORSHIPERS will WORSHIP the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. 24 God is a Spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” John 4:23-24 Amplified. 

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10. 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were FRAMED by THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6 (Habakkuk 2:4; Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23) 

“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. 

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God . . . 5 and HOPE maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:1-2, 5. 

“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18 forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your FAITH and HOPE might be in God” 1 Peter 1:17-21. 

“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2 in HOPE of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 but hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour” Titus 1:1-3. 

“Now the God of HOPE FILL YOU with all joy and peace in BELIEVING, that ye may ABOUND IN HOPE, through the POWER of the Holy Ghost” Romans 15:13. 

“Remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5. 

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting 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 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. 

SUMMARY: 
The Church of God in Christ Jesus is THE UNPARALLELED ARMY — SPIRIT-FILLED, WORD-FILLED, LOVE-FILLED, HOPE-FILLED, and FAITH-FILLED. She is SET APART, WORD-BASED, and GLOBALLY LOCATED by the Holy Spirit. You ARE her. Manifest who you are, continue in the Word, and draw others into this invincible, angelically assisted army to advance the kingdom cause of God until Christ returns.

    Built Up for Ministry — Given for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ [Ephesians 4:11-16], speaking TRUTH IN LOVE.  
  1. FINAL CHARGE & SCRIPTURAL ANCHORS

FINAL CHARGE 
“I hereby in God’s grace do urge you to get yourself spirited in grace by being the UNPARALLELED ARMY — the CHURCH of God that’s SPIRIT-FILLED, WORD-FILLED, LOVE-FILLED, HOPE-FILLED and FAITH-FILLED in all that pertains to doing life and living godly on earth, until our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus returns.”

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM 

By Leave a Comment

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM: FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM! 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified). 

You don’t have to look too far away from you to note, through the mirror of life, that the entire world is interconnected, and is built up and built on and built by many communities of like-minded people – each with various unions, associations and passions in many respects. Their coming together is for a common cause and purpose, and they are in the course to create, promote, explore, initiate and enhance a kind of FEEEDOM to meet a particular interest. 

The irony of life is that all these various acts of coming together -whether at International, national, community, workplace, street and the family-enforced levels – have NOT given any of us the genuine, total FREEDOM so much desired, anticipated and expected to experience in its fulness. And knowingly and unknowingly, in most of these various cases, what they once considered as FREEDOM has become the foundation for another unidentified and unaccounted-for bondage. Unfortunately, the entanglement in its causes and course comes at a cost – and an enormous one in various ways. And the changes made with time to suit or solve one problem have created another in many other ways. Hence some have folded up, others are surviving instead of thriving, and many others are just in existence, counting time by and by for the next move. 

It is therefore imperative to know that the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUES and ARCHITECTURAL IMAGES that have been believed, revered, adored and adopted in some places as such – all in the name of serving as symbols or landmarks – are in fact classed in SCRIPTURAL terms as IDOLS. Especially when you examine the reason for such high-place STATUES and SYMBOLIC IMAGES on our high streets, in City Centres, and other designated high places. Most times they depict, in essence, ENSLAVEMENT, BONDAGE, INSULT, SEGREGATION, MARGINALISATION and such like – because what they once signified in a particular generation and dispensation is no longer welcome or honourable to another generation. That is why the only true FREEDOM is that which is of God in Christ Jesus – LIVING IN OUR HEARTS beyond dispensation, generation and walls of any sort. For God’s FREEDOM for us all in Christ Jesus is impartial, and it is without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. It is beyond walls and without respect of persons.  

“. . . 21 Little children [believers, dear ones], GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS— [false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would TAKE God’s PLACE IN YOUR HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21/Amplified. 

It is because of the above narrative and such like, that Apostle Paul shared scriptural TRUTH in Acts 17:15-34, in his response to the ATHENIANS’ superstition and devotion to graven image altars, which they ascribed to their UNKNOWN GOD. A community sold out to STATUES – Modernised IDOLS today. Thanks be to God in His awesomeness; He used Apostle Paul to bring the ATHENIANS out of their superstitious bondage and to see the essence of knowing the true God. Apostle Paul made them know and understand that it’s in God that they are MADE to LIVE, to MOVE and to HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING; and he therein told them about the true FREEDOM that they EARNESTLY craved and desired to have – not from the STATUES DEPICTED in their City Centre and Community places that serve as Landmarks of greatness for admiration and devotion, even for many today. 

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ . . .” Acts 17:15-34/Amplified. 

Be it known today as a way of reminder, that our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus has made possible the true FREEDOM to all, and He has offered it to all without PREJUDICE, SENTIMENT, DOGMA, HYPOCRISY and such like. I, therefore, as God’s servant, hereby beckon, beg and urge YOU in the same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today in order to enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine – without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timithy 3:16)- instead of bowing to dumb IDOLS DEPICTED in STATUES and SYMBOLS for meaningless causes other than to offend another. Hence, I say you: 

JESUS CHRIST IS – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM – THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMA, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENT, BIGOTRY AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE TO STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT IN GOD. AMEN. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And [if you] are CONFIDENT that you are a [qualified] GUIDE to the blind [those untaught in theology], a LIGHT to those who are in darkness, 20 and [that you are] a CORRECTOR of the foolish, a TEACHER of the [spiritually] childish, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth— 21 well then, you who TEACH others, do you not teach yourself? You who PREACH against stealing, do you steal [in ways that are discrete, but just as sinful]? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest IDOLS, do you rob [pagan] temples [of valuable idols and offerings]?” Romans 2:19-22 Amplified. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified). 

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who GIVES to all [people] LIFE and BREATH and all things. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their APPOINTED TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of their lands and TERRITORIES. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 So then, being God’s children, we should not think that the Divine Nature (deity) is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination or skill of man . . .” Acts 17:15-34/Amplified. 

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

“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they SACRIFICE TO DEVILS, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP WITH DEVILS. 21 Ye cannot DRINK the cup of the Lord, and the cup of DEVILS: ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the TABLE OF DEVILS. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:16-22. 

SUMMARY: 

This message is a prophetic call to abandon man-made idols and false systems of freedom, and to CONNECT to Jesus Christ — the only One who gives true, complete, and lasting FREEDOM without prejudice, hypocrisy, or bondage. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE WORLD’S PURSUIT OF FREEDOM IS FALLING SHORT
    Interconnected but bound — The world is built by communities, unions, associations, and causes all chasing a version of “freedom.” 
    The irony — What one generation calls freedom becomes bondage for the next. Solving one problem creates another. 
    The result — Many have folded up, others are just surviving, and many are merely existing, waiting for the next move. No human system has given us the genuine, total freedom we desire. 
  1. MAN-MADEIDOLS ARE BONDAGE IN DISGUISE 
    Statues & Symbols — Allegiance to man-made STATUES and ARCHITECTURAL IMAGES in city centres and high places are, in SCRIPTURAL terms, IDOLS [1 John 5:21]. 
    What they depict — ENSLAVEMENT, BONDAGE, INSULT, SEGREGATION, MARGINALISATION. What was revered in one generation is rejected in another. 
    Spiritual reality — “The things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they SACRIFICE TO DEVILS, and not to God” [1 Corinthians 10:20]. 
    “GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS — [anything that would TAKE God’s PLACE IN YOUR HEART]” [1 John 5:21]. 
  1. THE ATHENIAN EXAMPLE: FROM IDOLS TO THE TRUE GOD [Acts 17:15-34]
    Athens was full of idols — Paul’s spirit was provoked by a city sold out to graven images and an altar “TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.” 
    Paul’s proclamation: 
    God does not dwell in temples made with hands [Acts 17:24] 
    “In Him we LIVE and MOVE and HAVE OUR BEING” [Acts 17:28] 
    He “GIVES to all LIFE and BREATH and all things” [Acts 17:25] 
    He made all nations so they would “seek God and find Him” [Acts 17:27] 
    Outcome: Paul led them out of superstitious bondage into the knowledge of the true God. 
  1. JESUS CHRIST: THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM
    Freedom without… — HYPOCRISY, DOGMA, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENT, BIGOTRY and such like. Offered to ALL without respect of persons. 
    Christ’s declaration — “It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY” [Galatians 5:1]. 
    Where freedom lives — In our hearts, beyond generation, dispensation, and walls. Impartial and genuine. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER
    Romans 2:19-22 — Don’t condemn idols while compromising with them. 
    1 Corinthians 10:16-22 — You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils. 
    1 John 5:18-21 — We are of God. The world lies in the evil one. Guard your heart from idols. 

CALL TO ACTION 

I, therefore, as God’s servant, hereby beckon, beg and urge YOU in the same Apostolic similitude: 

  1. RESOLVE TO CONNECT TO CHRIST JESUS TODAY — Turn away from dumb idols depicted in statues and symbols for meaningless causes. 
  2. STAND FIRM IN CHRIST’S FREEDOM — Do not go back to a yoke of slavery [Galatians 5:1]. 
  3. LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE — Stand tall in His power and might in God. 
  4. GUARD YOUR HEART — Let nothing take God’s place in you. 

DECLARATION: 
JESUS CHRIST IS — THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM — THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMA, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENT, BIGOTRY AND SUCH LIKE. 
GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE. AMEN. SELAH — PAUSE AND THINK. 

IN ONE LINE: 
This message is that all other freedoms will fail you, but JESUS CHRIST alone gives the freedom that sets you free indeed.

ENDEAVOUR TO COMMUNICATE YOUR FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

ENDEAVOUR TO COMMUNICATE YOUR FAITH: TO ENSURE YOUR DAILY COMPLETENESS IN CHRIST JESUS! 

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

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

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

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

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

ACKNOWLEDGING every GOOD THING:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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