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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘The Faith That Works By Love’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

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

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

GOD’S BATTLE AXE: DEALING WITH THE BATTLE OF THE MIND!

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S BATTLE AXE: DEALING WITH THE BATTLE OF THE MIND!

“And be RENEWED in the spirit of your MIND” Ephesians 4:23.

Knowingly or unknowingly, there’s a battle and warfare that is ongoing in our minds and in thoughts twenty-four-seven. Unfortunately, the Church has sat so much on SPIRITUAL WARFARE for so long that we have lost a major BATTLE which I called – MENTAL WARFARE – The BATTLE [WARFARE] of the mind.

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

For it’s what one PICTURE [IMAGINE] that determines ones FUTURE [DEFINITION], hence, Jeremiah could be ask by God – WHAT DO YOU SEE? meaning, WHAT DO YOU PICTURE? or rather put IMAGINE? And that was what eventually defined him in life and ministry [purpose] – Jeremiah 1:11-12. Remember Abraham similar encounter in Genesis 13:14-18. It is what you PICTURE [IMAGINE] in the spirit of your MIND that determines and defines what awaits you in the future. And the vitality for SOUND MIND can NEVER be over-emphasised at all phases of doing life and living godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

“For as he THINKS in his heart, so is he [in BEHAVIOR—one who manipulates]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost]” Proverbs 23:7.

And there are reasons for the mind battlefield when you look at the Scriptural context in Mark 5:1-20. This is simply for these reasons though not limited:

* Your mind is certainly a gateway to your life, for every event of your life is determined and defined in the mind.

* Every captive is first arrested in the mind. And your Liberty (freedom) is established or lost in the MIND.

* Your mind is the controller of your destiny. Until you are able to keep your mind under control, your life is out of control.

* As terrible as sin is, Jesus established that sin begins with a seed of thought (Matthew 5:27-30). All the devil does is to sell the thought. When you buy the thought, you become a victim of the act.

* Nobody succeeds by chance; success begins with a thought. Nobody prospers just by effort. Every act of prosperity, advancement in life has its source in the hearted mind.

* Until you begin to think differently things will not be different. Every GRACIOUS imagination establishes you, but every human philosophy that one falls for makes a captive of you. YOU ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR THOUGHT LIFE. For as you THINK, so you BECOME.

* Every EVIL that comes upon Job begins with his imagination of it – Job 3:25. Every EVIL IMAGINATION is an express ACCESS for EVIL.

* Right living begins with right thinking. Great living begins with great thinking and great success begins with great success thought. Hence you don’t reply THOUGHTS with THOUGHTS but with WORDS.

FINALLY – Foreknowing the above and such like, one can say that – until your sense of reasoning and mentality is corrected, your destiny is not secured. For Satan has no access to your spirit, knowing it is in relationship and fellowship with the Father God; but he has access to your mind. It is the gateway to your life. Therefore, give no place to the devil or else he will give you a direction.

You are GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPON OF WAR, do something by RENEWING the spirit of your mind by the WORD to remain SOUND-MINDED. That is the HOW to BATTLE in your MIND.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” Romans 12:2.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a SOUND MIND”  2 Timothy 1:7.

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 The WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our WEAPONS are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking EVERY THOUGHT and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (Amplified).

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE

By Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE: THE LOVE THAT GIVES AND SERVES!

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Our God is LOVE. He’s LOVE in definition, which indicates, you can’t talk of LOVE outside the person who is LOVE personified and had lavishly showed His love to us by the Holy Spirit that He had given to us by virtue of our redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 4:8,16; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17; John 3:16].

When I heard decades ago, the Gospel of Christ that brought about my salvation in God, in Christ Jesus, in redemption, the first thing that crosses my mind then and now, by the Gospel I heard was this – that God LOVES me. That sticks and have never gone off me for any reason or matters irrespective of the ups and downs in the onward and upward trajectory of the Christian Walk of faith in Christ Jesus.

“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.

And more so, to know that God in His terms to ensure and authenticate the love, He GAVE up Christ Jesus for my salvation in redemption, that I might be able to be JUSTIFIED and QUALIFIED, to receive the needed FREEDOM – LIBERTY, from the grips and bandages of SIN and it’s effects which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH; the freedom – liberty, from which I was denied because of the subjugates rule of the devil and cohorts, that makes me then, to be without God in this world. [Ephesians 2:1-22].

Reflecting now and then that the simple Gospel I heard to get saved by God in Christ Jesus, thus indicates that God LOVES me and GAVE up Jesus Christ for my salvation in redemption; and this knowing and understanding, have left a lasting effect on my life for over 50yrs plus by God’s enabling grace. Then and now and always, I know that genuinely pure love of God means a GIVING love, and not a love that goes demanding for the love in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. And it thus means that one can’t live the genuinely pure love life in grace and godliness, beyond the knowledge and understanding you know and have received of God in Christ Jesus on His personified nature of LOVE as He is LOVE.

“And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM, and those who EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER THEM are called ‘BENEFACTORS.’ 26 But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER, and he who GOVERNS as he who SERVES. 27 For who is GREATER, he who sits at the TABLE, or he who SERVES? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am AMONG YOU as the One who SERVES” Luke 22:25-27/NKJV [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

And when I began to embarks on the journey to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus (2 Peter 3:18), and for me to personally personified the knowing of Him as my Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, and to make Him known by same mutual knowledge and understanding, I then discovered that His entire coming to take the humanity nature [Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:14], to work out my salvation in my redemption and yours and for all mankind, was simply through this – to SERVE – through the passionate acts of LOVE which He lives and demonstrated for us all to follow after Him. [John 13:1-17, 34-35; Luke 22:25-27 (Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45); John 15:9-16]. And to do this act of our redemption, the scripture says, He LOVED us. Meaning, He didn’t serve outside love to REDEEMED us, He LOVED us as written:

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and THE FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6.

And for our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ to ensure and authenticate that the GOSPEL being PREACHED remains same as He live in it and through it, He charged that the Believer’s in Him, should continue first and foremostly, to walk in His love with same Gospel love that loves through GIVING and SERVING others in His name – for by such many will turn toward the Father God in His name. [Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35; John 15:8-16; John 8:30-32].

Apostle Paul, with the gracious insights and foresights into the  revelation of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, do charged the Ephesians Church in the Holy writ of [Acts 20:35], of the need to know that – it’s more of BLESSEDNESS to GIVE (be a GIVER) than to RECEIVE (be a RECEIVER); and Apostle Paul’s also wrote to the Galatians Church in the Holy writ in the context of – [Galatians 5:1, 6, 13], of the necessity to see that they don’t take their freedom – liberty in God in Christ Jesus for granted, but to ensure it and be assured that their faith in God in Christ Jesus is lubricated through LOVE and not by legalities of the religious dogmas and tradition and denominational indoctrination as per circumcision or no circumcision – and more importantly, to SERVE one another BY LOVE as in the Gospel that they have received of him in Christ Jesus stead.

In redemption, we’ve obtained a glorious triumph on the cross by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For our Redemption is a done did as expressed in the Holy writs of [2 Corinthians 2:14 and Colossians 2:8-15]; this thus indicates an act of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE as expressed in GIVING His life for our justification, and in SERVING to ensure and assure that we can live TRIUMPHANTLY as we do live in humanity and live godly for the cause of advancing God’s kingdom and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

I therefore challenge you and I today to be genuine follower of God in Christ Jesus, and WALK IN LOVE as He did for our example, through the act of GIVING and SERVING, and not of demanding and receiving or as an entitlement, if we must meaningfully fulfil purpose as enjoined in the Holy writ. [Ephesians 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12].

I do pray that you might be awaken in this writ for a gracious and graceful you in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, I sincerely welcome you to Month February, the month of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE that GIVES and SERVES without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48; Proverbs 16:7/Hebrews 11:6].

Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honour giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another.

“THE FAITH THAT WORKS”: IS THE FAITH WORKING BY LOVE!

“THE FAITH THAT WORKS”: IS THE FAITH WORKING BY LOVE!

“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.

The Scriptures made us to know that the justified in Christ Jesus shall LIVE by their FAITH. Not by my someone else FAITH, but by yours in Christ Jesus. But if your FAITH in Christ Jesus is not WORKING how then do you LIVE by it in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s a very deadly and dangerous place to be when you know your vehicle of life dealings called FAITH, which is: the means of transportation in your spiritual sphere is not WORKING; your currency of heavenly exchange is not WORKING.

How then do you go about carrying on and DOING Life Day by day without stopping to check on the necessary fault to make it WORK, so that you can THRIVE instead of SURVIVE in your EARTHLY affairs by the HEAVENLY injection of GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED.

BELOVED! Is it not the time now to have a stop, take an inventory of your FAITH? Especially when you know very well that your FAITH in Christ Jesus is not actually WORKING in essence in your Life affairs as in – Marital Relationship, Social etiquette and Responsibility, General Human Relationships, Educational Career, Business Enterprise, Trade Skill, Ministry/Ministerial matters, Leadership Position, Governance Accountability and many such likes.

It is the FAITH that WORKS that gives you the enabling to LIVE and Do LIFE when ALL things about you comes to a halt – when job is loss, career is at a brink, business fails, enterprise collapse, marriage is at storm, relationship is at standstill, family is at the verge of being tip over, ministry is at dead ends and health is failing unprecedented, leadership and governance spirit is depressing and many such likes.

Therefore, I say in Christ Jesus stead by the Holy Spirit that:

** You must put your FAITH to WORK if you must be able to fight the GOOD fight of your FAITH in Christ Jesus.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you must be able to communicate to life matters for a productive effectual result.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you must PLEASE God by every and any means.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you intend to live and do life by God in Christ Jesus.

** Your FAITH must WORK if intend to have a continuous ANSWERS to PRAYERS.

** Your FAITH must WORK if you intend to enjoy FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance your relationship with Him.

In this MONTH FEBRUARY, at this defining moment in history, you can’t afford to live and keep carrying on your Christian life in same acts of FAITH that is not WORKING and expect the HEAVENLY to BREATH into your EARTHLY affairs.

Take an inventory today, I mean now and sort your FAITH to THE WORKING condition and position to enable you LIVE and DO LIFE EFFECTUALLY. For ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS’ will set you ablaze, inflame and on fire for that compassionate PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT you dearly need to THRIVE and ACHIEVE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

ABOUT PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

By Leave a Comment

ABOUT PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS: GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH – FOR YOUR PROSPERITY IN HIM!

“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].

You are BLESSED of God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, UNCONDITIONALLY [Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:3-6; 3 John 1:2]; meaning there’s no an “IF” CONDITION [CONDITIONALITY] in the New Creation dispensation BLESSEDNESS of God as found in the Old Creation Testament Blessing of “IF” CONDITION [CONDITIONALITY] as in the book of Deuteronomy [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 9, 13 (1-14)] and other same like context Scriptures. And to be BLESSED of God, is to be EMPOWERED to PROSPER, SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME, PROSPER and SUCH-LIKE, in life and grace [3 John 1:2; Zachariah 1:17]. And THE BLESSING of God is to enrich and prosper us in redemption without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation [Proverbs 10:22; Galatians 3:13-14]. However, to enact and authenticate the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus as regards PROSPERING you and I, there’s the need to have, know and understand the WORKS of your hands to accomplish purpose, meaning, the God’s RIGHTEOUS cause [PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT].

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and LET NOT YOUR HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

For God will only PROSPER the WORKS of your hands to PROSPER you – meaning – NO WORK OF YOUR HANDS, NO PROSPERITY in Christ Jesus stead. God does NO MAGIC, for He’s not a MAGICIAN neither does God do confusion either, because He’s not confused and not the author of confusion, as we’ve seen in many places by those seeking a microwave instant answers [1 Corinthians 14:33]. Suffix to know that God’s BLESSEDNESS and MIRACLES as some may crave to have, are the consequences [result] of His WORD – and there’s no BUT or IF in it [Psalms 107:20; Psalms 103:20; Mark 16:20; Matthew 8:16].

I also wants you to know that our uncreated creator and almighty God does HEARS and ANSWERS to PRAYERS [Psalms 65:2; Proverbs 15:29]. So, the place of prayers and fasting as an act of fellowship to enhance our relationship with God is imperative and undeniable in every known and unknown respect with God, by the Holy Spirit, in the BLESSEDNESS of His WORD, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Matthew 6:5-8, 16-18.

However, as important as the act of PRAYERS and FASTING are – God can only PROSPER you by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS and not by a mere covering up with acts of praying and fasting. This is imperative and very important, in order not to overshadow the place of being principled in taking responsibility and accountability through diligence and prudence, by ensuring wisdom in the works of your hands, to enable God to bring about the reality of our BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means that:

* GOD DOES NOT PROSPER NOTHING – NEITHER DOES HE PROSPER EMPTINESS OR IDLENESS.

* AND THERE’S NO PLACE FOR A VACUUM WITH GOD TO PROSPER YOU – YOU NEED TO GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH.

* AND THAT GOD WILL PROSPER THOSE WHO ARE AFTER HIS RIGHTEOUS CAUSE [PURPOSE] ON EARTH – [TO ADVANCE THE KINGDOM CAUSE AND KEEP THE ENEMY AT BAY]

There’s the need for inward look before an outward look as Isaiah 6:1-9 teaches us, in order to enable an individual to have a profound insights and foresight trajectory to their place in life and grace with God in Christ Jesus stead. For an inward discovery will definitely give an outward recovery no matter how much you think that you have elapsed with time. God is always on time with us and never late in His purpose to work out for our good and goodness. [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Philippians 1:6].

That we are born of God, blessed of God, chosen of God, predestinated of God and such like in our REDEMPTION, doesn’t give the rights and privileges of laziness, slothfulness and idleness in the kingdom cause of our God, more so, for anyone to be living in a WISHY-WASHY and LAZY-BUTT lifestyle. [Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:2-4; 3 John 1:2].

Just know for the record that God doesn’t prosper nothing and God doesn’t prosper laziness and God doesn’t prosper a no work in your hands, and any otherwise such-like teaching, prophecy, perception, intuition and messages it’s a counterfeit, fake, adulterated and contradictory to the, authority, fulness and authenticity to the graciousness and gracefulness of the WORD of God in all ramifications of doing life and living godly under God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. And God will lift any person from poverty and obscurity to prosperity and good success in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Joshua 1:8; 2 Chronicles 15:7; 1 Samuel 2:7-9].

Jesus WORK the WORKS of Father God that sent Him and for three and half years after thirty years of preparation in knowing and understanding the works on and of His hands, He PROSPERED by God to fulfill PURPOSE and the CAUSE for which He came to the world, born of a woman as you and I. [John 9:4; John 4:33-35; 1 John 3:8; John 18:37].

Therefore, give God something to work with – TILL YOUR LAND and watch God PROSPER you accordingly. For He only PROSPER you by PROSPERING the WORKS of your hands in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BEING CHRISTLIKE [BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR] IN LOVE

By Leave a Comment

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.

“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.

“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in LOVE, and in the spirit of meekness?” 1 Corinthians 4:20-21.

“Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-40.

“Though I speak with the TONGUES OF MEN and OF ANGELS, but have NOT LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal” 1 Corinthians 13:1/NKJV.

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE is of God; and everyone who LOVES is born of God and knows God.  8 He who DOES NOT LOVE does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE.  9 In this the LOVE of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into the world, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM.  10 In this 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 also ought to LOVE one another” 1 John 4:7-11.

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.
