THE NEW CREATION MINDSET 

By Leave a Comment

THE NEW CREATION MINDSET: THE DAILY ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS OF BEING TRULY FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“It is for FREEDOM that Christ has SET US FREE. STAND FIRM, then, and DO NOT let yourselves be BURDENED again by a YOKE OF SLAVERY (BONDAGE)” Galatians 5:1 NIV. 

DO YOU DAILY PERCEIVE THE SAME ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS IN YOUR BEING THAT YOU ARE FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS, OR YOU STILL QUESTION WHO YOU ARE AND WHEREIN YOU DO STAND IN GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS? 

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

What is it that sets you up and enlightens your day, every morning? Is it based on – the house you live in; the car you drive; the size of your bank account; the business empire you’ve established; the career you are in; the size of the Church or Ministries you attend or Pastor; the trophies, ornaments, treasures, or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life? WHAT SETS YOU UP AND BRIGHTENS UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND, EACH MORNING?  

What does the quality of your life depend on, how is it measured? How do you define the graciousness and gracefulness of your God-given opportunity to live life and live godly on earth in humanity? Does the scripture of Luke 12:15, ever trigger your daily stand and wellbeing in Christ Jesus, especially in the daily PURSUIT of all that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS as it’s written? 

“And he said unto them, TAKE HEED, and BEWARE of covetousness: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH not in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15. 

For me, WHAT SETS ME UP AND MY DAY is the ASSURED assurance that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN, QUALIFIED, PREDESTINATED, GLORIFIED, CALLED, and JUSTIFIED by God; and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God, enhancing my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelmingly, inspiring, revealing, empowering and incomprehensible. The knowing that God LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me, with me, and for me makes it more PRICELESS. That, and many such truths too numerous to note, within gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others, in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have RUN OUT, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible). 

And for me, the more is the quality of daily wellbeing in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus – that is, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of being ASSURED that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That God LOVES me and HIS presence lives IN me, He’s WITH me, and He’s FOR me – and that knowing and understanding is PRECIOUS and PRICELESS! That’s what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE and synergy to win my day for me and all about me for others. WHAT ABOUT YOU? 

The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the NEW CREATION has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore makes me assured of my onward and upward trajectory; and, in that my PAST – no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was –  it CAN’T hold back my TODAY and TOMORROW anymore. Because of what Jesus has DONE in redemption for me, He has washed (erased) away my sin and cleansed me from EVERY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS by His precious and REDEEMING BLOOD. 

“”Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19. 

What a true freedom, for me and you to live ASSURED by the synergy of the eternal God, every morning and everyday – unashamed, unafraid and unperturbed in Christ Jesus. Amen. And much more, the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that His STEDFAST LOVE never ceases and are new every morning and everyday towards you and I – That’s GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL indeed to me. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV. 

“But God FORBID that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been CRUCIFIED to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, BUT A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV. 

“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have RUN OUT, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible). 

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25. 

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH BY the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his ANGER for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in MERCY. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS into the DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19. 

“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 . . . 6 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:1-6. 

“And he said unto them, TAKE HEED, and BEWARE of covetousness: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH not in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15. 

“Thou wilt shew me THE PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

THE NEW CREATION YOU – HAVE NO PAST 

By Leave a Comment

THE NEW CREATION YOU – HAVE NO PAST: YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN THE GRACE! 

“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He GAVE the right [the authority, the privilege] to BECOME children of God, that is, to those who BELIEVE in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]” John 1:12-13. 

If any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION, the Holy Writ says – is that difficult to know and understand? I don’t think so. Unfortunately, many can’t comprehend that unconditionality, just like the Nicodemus of John 3:1-8; because it seems so simple and easy, and they intend to make it a bit complicated for themselves to realise, before they can BECOME as God intends His free access and pass toward Him in Christ Jesus, just as it’s written: 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17. 

I reason and know that at baby birth, watching my lovely, gracious, and graceful wife bringing forth the wonderful and fabulous children to BEING, that each of them had no history for me to reckon unto them for any reason. I see in them a brand-new personality arriving to CHART and THRIVE a NEW PATH of life. I saw no PAST but a NEW DAWN in them and for them to innovate, create, initiate, manoeuvre and explore the atmosphere they love and would love to have and enjoy in grace and life in humanity and godly living in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

That’s what I PERCEIVE when I gave my life to Christ Jesus – in the knowing and understanding that my PAST has become irrelevant and a NEW me in Christ Jesus is BORN and DAWN – for uniqueness and greatness in relation to all about me in God’s REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Upon the above scenario I am emboldened to say to you – Don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear or phobias of starting or completing your life’s intended plans, purposes and pursuits because of your PAST. For your PAST can’t hold back YOUR TODAY or TOMORROW in Christ Jesus, except you don’t BELIEVE in your NEW DAWN and PERMIT your past to have a hold on and over you. Your belief will define your corresponding act of FAITH. And you act of FAITH will define your direction of travel in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.  

God’s REDEMPTION for you in Christ Jesus has CERTIFIED and JUSTIFIED the ACCESS for your full JOY and HAPPINESS, making your PAST insignificance to the DONE DEED that makes you a NEW CREATION. In Christ Jesus, you are now built into a NEW FOUNDATION that erased every other foundation, known and unknown, that have held you back religiously, culturally, traditionally and such like. [Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 3:10-23; Colossians 2:1-23]. 

I want you to know full well that your FAITH in God can go killing giants and ACHIEVING GREATNESS, even when it seems all things have come to a halt, as you keep ACTING on the WORD. For FAITH is ACTING in and on what you BELIEVE on God’s eternal WORD accordingly. Meaning, nothing can stop you from BECOMING when you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH in Christ Jesus alive. 

Therefore, DARE TO DREAM AGAIN, DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN, and DARE TO BECOME AGAIN. That’s what I consider to be the spirit behind every PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT with an achiever mindset to BECOME in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen – Romans 4:16-25. 

Finally, Jesus said, “. . . ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” (Matthew 9:29) – that means, by your FAITH in Him through His WORD, BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Romans 10:8-13. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17. 

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 FOR IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16. 

“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. 

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30. 

” . . . FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:10-13. 

“. . . As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, SO WALK YE IN HIM: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN, AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, AND NOT AFTER CHRIST. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power . . .” Colossians 2:1-23. 

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU will PERFORM it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6. 

“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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the NAME of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:8-13. 

“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified). 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises God’s redemption and new creation in Christ Jesus, encouraging believers to embrace their new identity and live victoriously. 

Key Points: 

  1. New Creation in Christ 
    As a child of God, you’re a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17, John 1:12-13). 
    Your past is insignificant, and you’re born again with a new dawn, new purpose, and new life.
  2. Overcoming Fear and Phobias 
    Don’t let fear or phobias hold you back (2 Timothy 1:7).

THE KINGDOM LIFESTYLE 

By Leave a Comment

THE KINGDOM LIFESTYLE: IT’S ABOUT COMMENDING AND COMPLEMENTING – NOT ABOUT COMPARING! 

For those who compare are not wise in the grace – that’s the fundamental truth of the Gospel, irrespective to all. In the realm of grace by the Holy Spirit, kingdom affairs and lifestyle are about ensuring God’s goodwill in each other, not self-gratification at the expense of another through comparison, undermining God’s graciousness and gracefulness in another. 

The kingdom advancement of God is to keep the enemy at bay for God’s glory and humanity’s good; it’s not in the hands of any individual, no matter how highly men applaud them. Instead, it’s about God’s approval, accreditation, attestation and commendation, as seen in Christ Jesus. God’s approval is possible for all in the grace through THE WORD, except one is REPROBATE to the TRUTH of the Gospel of our God in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man ACCREDITED and POINTED OUT and ATTESTED [APPROVED] to you by God with [the power to perform] miracles and wonders and signs which God worked through Him in your [very] midst, just as you yourselves know” Acts 2:22/Amplified. 

“Study and DO your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [TESTED by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, ACCURATELY handling and SKILLFULLY teaching THE WORD OF TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified. 

“EXAMINE yourselves, WHETHER ye be in THE FAITH; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5 

Therefore, don’t give in to the Licentiousness of men’s applause, comparing yourself to fellow Believers or Ministers in the Gospel of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. For those who indulge in such comparison are unwise having deviated from the faith of the Gospel. They are creating envy, strife, malice, and affliction, hindering the goodwill of others in the kingdom as it’s written: 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even from ENVY and STRIFE, and some also from GOODWILL: 16 The former preach Christ from SELFISH AMBITION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my chains; 17 but the latter out of LOVE, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in PRETENSE or in TRUTH, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18/NKJV. 

I pray that humility rules and reigns, submitting to the Kingdom cause of our God. For our God exalts the humble and despises pride and arrogance in the grace [1 Peter 5:5-7; James 4:6]. 

Be Blessed in the grace, with the spirit of complimenting and commending one another in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN THE CONTEXT: 

“Look at [this obvious fact] which is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ’s, let him reflect and remind himself that even as he is Christ’s, so too are we. 8 For even though I boast rather freely about our power and authority, which the Lord gave for your upbuilding and not for demolishing you, yet I shall not be put to shame [for exceeding the truth], 9 Neither would I seem to be overawing or frightening you with my letters; 10 For they say, His letters are weighty and impressive and forceful and telling, but his personality and bodily presence are weak, and his speech and delivery are utterly contemptible (of no account). 11 Let such people realize that what we say by letters when we are absent, [we put] also into deeds when we are present – 12 Not that we [have the audacity to] venture to class or [even to] compare ourselves with some who exalt and furnish testimonials for themselves! However, when they measure themselves with themselves and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding and behave unwisely. 13 We, on the other hand, will not boast beyond our legitimate province and proper limit, but will keep within the limits [of our commission which] God has allotted us as our measuring line and which reaches and includes even you. 14 For we are not overstepping the limits of our province and stretching beyond our ability to reach, as though we reached not (had no legitimate mission) to you, for we were [the very first] to come even as far as to you with the good news (the Gospel) of Christ. 15 We do not boast therefore, beyond our proper limit, over other men’s labors, but we have the hope and confident expectation that as your faith continues to grow, our field among you may be greatly enlarged, still within the limits of our commission, 16 So that [we may even] preach the Gospel in lands [lying] beyond you, without making a boast of work already done in another [man’s] sphere of activity [before we came on the scene]. 17 However, let him who BOASTS and GLORIES boast and glory in the Lord. 18 For [it is] not [the man] who praises and COMMENDS himself who is APPROVED and ACCEPTED, but [it is the person] whom the Lord ACCREDITS and COMMENDS” 2 Corinthians 10:7-18/Amplified.  

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of living a kingdom lifestyle that focuses on commending and complementing others, rather than comparing oneself to others. Comparison is unwise and can lead to envy, strife, malice, and affliction, ultimately hindering the goodwill of others in the kingdom. 

Key Principles: 

  1. God’s Approval is Key: The kingdom advancement of God is not about individual achievements or seeking human applause, but about God’s approval, accreditation, attestation, and commendation. 
  2. Humility is Essential: Humility is crucial for kingdom living, as God exalts the humble and despises pride and arrogance. 
  3. Comparison is Unwise: Comparing oneself to others is unwise and deviates from the faith of the Gospel. 
  4. Focus on God’s Goodwill: Kingdom affairs and lifestyle should focus on ensuring God’s goodwill in each other, rather than self-gratification. 

Scriptural Foundation: 

  • The message is supported by various scripture references, including: 
  • Acts 2:22 (Jesus accredited and approved by God) 
  • 2 Timothy 2:15 (Approved workman handling the Word of Truth) 
  • 2 Corinthians 13:5 (Examine yourselves, prove your own selves) 
  • Philippians 1:15-18 (Preaching Christ with envy and strife vs. goodwill) 
  • 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 (Boasting in the Lord, not self-commendation) 

Call to Action: 

  • Don’t give in to the licentiousness of men’s applause 
  • Focus on commending and complementing others 
  • Seek God’s approval, not human applause 
  • Cultivate humility and submit to the Kingdom cause of God 

Prayer and Blessing: 

The message concludes with a prayer for humility to rule and reign, and a blessing for believers to have the spirit of complementing and commending one another in the grace

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20. 

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:20-21. 

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 NONE OF THEM CAN BY ANY MEANS REDEEM HIS BROTHER, nor give to God a RANSOM for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their SOUL IS PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others . . .” Psalms 49:6-12. 

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO YE THEREFORE, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED EVERY WHERE, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

THE PROMISES OF GOD – OUR DAILY LOADED BENEFITS 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

Our God doesn’t only want to meet your “daily bread” need; He also wants to shower you with His ADD-ON BONUS – the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS embedded in your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus stead. Imagine having BONUS, an ADD-ON to your normal daily earnings; that’s what it means to have BENEFITS to the NORMS daily BREAD that is generalised to ALL when you pray. 

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

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

  • That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby give Him thanks. [Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2]. 
  • That the Gospel might advance and the enemy and cohorts are kept at bay without limitations. [Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9]. 
  • That you have plenty left over to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding, hoarding and complaining. [Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38]. 
  • To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, abide in the FAITH – for POVERTY takes people away from the FAITH. And to safeguard the saints from processing and seeking answers from ungodly places that will cause them to fall away from the faith; and keep the saints from becoming prey and victims of following ungodly, evil, and dubious ways to prosper; and to give the saints insights and foresights of grace and wisdom that keep them abiding in the faith, in order to achieve the desired scripturally – set greatness in Christ Jesus’ stead. [Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3; Psalms 125:3].  
  • To cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness, oppression and destruction. POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality, leads to stealing, robbery, bribery, evil, wickedness, kidnapping and such like. [Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34]. 
  • To help keep and establish the righteous in freedom and dominion. [Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12]. 
  • To establish and authenticate God’s covenant of faith and faithfulness that’s only built on His sure and true foundation in the grace through faith in Christ Jesus stead. [2 Peter 1:19-21; Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17]. 

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that God’s promises are not just about meeting basic needs (daily bread) but also about showering believers with ADD-ON BONUSES – the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS embedded in their rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. 

Key Points: 

  1. God’s Desire: 
  • God wants to authenticate redemption by loading believers daily with benefits (Psalms 68:19). 
  • These benefits are part of His covenant of faith and faithfulness (2 Peter 1:19-21, Deuteronomy 8:18). 
  1.  Purpose of Daily Loaded Benefits:
  • Sufficiency & Abundance: Wanting nothing, giving thanks (Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3). 
  • Gospel Advancement: Keeping the enemy at bay (Luke 8:1-3, Zechariah 1:17). 
  • Generosity: Having plenty to give to others (Galatians 6:1-9, Luke 6:38). 
  • Faith Preservation: Keeping saints in the faith, away from ungodly solutions (Psalms 23:6, John 15:4-8). 
  • Cleansing & Freedom: Removing poverty mentality, establishing righteousness (Proverbs 30:7-9, Psalms 112:3). 
  1.  God’s Faithfulness:
  • He is faithful to His promises (Hebrews 10:23, 1 Corinthians 1:9). 
  • Believers are partakers of divine nature through His exceeding great promises (2 Peter 1:3-4). 
  1.  Call to Believers:
  • Don’t give up; actualize God’s benefiting will in daily life. 
  • Live in the ADD-ON BONUS of grace and loaded benefits, not just daily bread. 
  • Know your rights and privileges in redemption (Ephesians 1:3, John 10:10). 

Scriptures to Ponder: 
Psalms 68:19, Matthew 6:9-15, 1 John 4:17-18, 2 Peter 1:1-4. 

To Sum It Up: 
God daily loads believers with benefits to enhance redemption, authenticate salvation, and establish them in faith, grace, and dominion through Christ Jesus.

You CAN Triumph and Overcome THAT Unwarranted LIFE Pressure

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Colourful living and a glorious life aren’t cheap. They demand the EXERCISING of the will of the GRACE that CAN say NO to setbacks and failure steadfastly. And you are GIVEN THE MEASURE of GRACE and FAITH to say “NO”. Therefore, blame no one anymore if you falter to be PRINCIPLED and fail to exercise the measure of will given  to you for VICTORY, TRIUMPH, and DOMINION. 

If you CAN discipline yourself and be principled to say NO, you will and can keep yourself above the waters aimed to limit you from your godly position of greatness in Christ Jesus – and in knowing and understanding what the Scripture says about you. 

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

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

BE BLESSED – BE EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

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

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

  • Scripture: Romans 12:3 – God has dealt to every man the measure of faith  
  1. You Must Exercise the Grace and Faith Given to You 
  • Colourful living and a glorious life require you to actively exercise the will of grace to say NO to setbacks and failure. 
  • Blame shifts when you fail to use the measure of grace and faith given for victory, triumph, and dominion. 
  • Scripture: Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me 
  1.  Standing Above Limitation is Your Position in Christ 

When you discipline yourself and be principled enough to say NO, you remain above the pressures meant to limit you. 

This is how you live out your godly position of greatness and fulfil God’s plan for your life. 

Final Exhortation 

In Christ, you can become all God has made you to be. If you know how to say NO to things that limit you and contravene your faith, nothing can stop your purpose in God. Keep the heart of grace alive, exercise it, and walk in victory.

GRATITUDE – A THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING HEARTEDNESS

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

When you come to a place of acknowledging goodwill and goodness in life and grace – that place of not only GIVING God THANKS at the point of INCIDENCE, but you have a LIVING ATTITUDE to give THANKS ALWAYS without prejudice, therein is a set place knowingly and unknowingly of ALTITUDE in life.

That’s an atmosphere wherein you just LIVE in the REALM of THANKS – and such a heartfelt ATTITUDE from the heart, will ALWAYS reciprocate and create an enabling for an ALTITUDE that’s beyond human words, but found in knowledge and understanding, as the Holy writ do encourage. 

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

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

I therefore urge you to ensure that your THANKSGIVING act of GRATITUDE becomes a THANKS LIVING ATTITUDE for your ALTITUDE. For God loves a cheerful giver of thanksgiving and appreciation of a goodwill. 

Keep the heart of gratitude [being thankful and grateful] alive and ever flaming in you, as you do life and live godly in the grace. Make it a living in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of gratitude and thanksgiving in the life of a believer.  

Key points include: 

  • Gratitude is a quality of being thankful and grateful, and it’s a gracious attitude to live in. 
  • Believers are encouraged to live a grateful and thankful life in all circumstances, irrespective of status, creed, colour, gender, or tongue. 
  • Giving thanks to God should not be limited to specific incidents but should be a living attitude.  
  • Living in the realm of thanks creates an atmosphere of awesome altitude, beyond human words. 
  • Scriptures encourage believers to offer sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving to God continually. 
  • Gratitude is a will of God, and believers should make it a living attitude in their lives. 

Key Scriptures: 

  • Colossians 3:17, Ephesians 5:18-20, Hebrews 13:15, Ezra 3:11, Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Ephesians 5:1-5, Colossians 1:3-4, 1 Timothy 2:1 

Main Takeaway: 
Gratitude is a powerful attitude that can elevate believers to a higher altitude in life. By living a life of thanksgiving and praise, believers can experience God’s presence and peace and demonstrate their love and appreciation for His goodness.

THE PROMISE OF GOD – EVER TRUE AND SURE 

By Leave a Comment

THE PROMISE OF GOD – EVER TRUE AND SURE: THE SWITCHED BUTTON IS ALWAYS ON A YES MODE AND CODE – AND YOU CAN BANK ON IT! 

“But as God is TRUE, our word toward you was not YEA and NAY. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was NOT YEA and NAY, but in Him was YEA. 20 For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YEA, and in Him AMEN, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 who hath also SEALED us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/Amplified. 

The promised Word of our Father God in Christ Jesus, as written in the Holy writ, are sealed, activated, and preserved, and operated by the Holy Spirit of PROMISE – and the PROMISED WORD is ever TRUE and ever SURE; and the SWITCHED button for access in the grace is ALWAYS on a YES MODE and YES CODE; that’s the reason to BANK ON IT in CONTEXT in the grace by faith. For it’s not limited in answer to your situation and it’s IRRESPECTIVE of your CIRCUMSTANCES, and it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

Therefore, lift up your head, raise up your shoulders, and stand on your high heels of faith in the grace, and step into each of your dawn days with hope and assurance, because the promises of God are ever sure and ever true any time and any day in the grace. For our God is faithful to all His promises, and your delay is not His denial for sure; for He will be on time in the grace, as He walks with you and walks you through His divine processing to enact and authenticate His WORD, while you steadfastly hold fast and hold forth His promises, unwavering, into your reality and tangibility in the grace wherein you stand. 

“FAITHFUL and ABSOLUTELY TRUSTWORTHY is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by MAKING you holy, GUARDING you, WATCHING over you, and PROTECTING you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified. 

“God is FAITHFUL [He is RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY and EVER TRUE to His PROMISE—He can be DEPENDED on], and through Him you were CALLED into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9/Amplified. 

“Let us SEIZE and HOLD TIGHTLY the CONFESSION [DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION, PROFESSION] of our hope WITHOUT WAVERING, for He who PROMISED is RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY and FAITHFUL [to His WORD]” Hebrews 10:23/Amplified. 

To authenticate that God is true and ever sure, He has given us the Holy Spirit as a seal of ownership which also guarantees as a down payment or security deposit to His promises for our assurance. 

“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] NEVER DISAPPOINTS us, because God’s love has been abundantly POURED out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/Amplified. 

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22/Amplified Classic Edition. 

When you are assured of this act of God, you need not allow worry and anxiety to rule and own your day. Stand up, step up and win your day. 

May every grace and blessings be yours TODAY and ALWAYS in Jesus’ precious name. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22. 

“But you have an ANOINTING from the Holy One [you have been SET APART, specially GIFTED and PREPARED by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the truth because He TEACHES us, ILLUMINATES our minds, and GUARDS us from error] . . . 27 As for you, the ANOINTING [the special gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him REMAINS [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING TEACHES you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is TRUE and is NOT A LIE, and just as His ANOINTING has taught you, you must remain in Him [being ROOTED in Him, KNIT to Him]” 1 John 2:20, 27/Amplified.

WHOLESOME LIVING MADE POSSIBLE IN THE GRACE 

By Leave a Comment

WHOLESOME LIVING MADE POSSIBLE IN THE GRACE: BY TAKING A SCRIPTURAL STAND AND SPEAKING FORTH ON THE WHOLESOME WORDS OF THIS LIFE! 

“So all bore witness to Him [JESUS], and marvelled at the GRACIOUS [WHOLESOME] WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

“A man’s stomach shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the PRODUCE of his LIPS, he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT ITS FRUIT” Proverbs 18:20-22/NKJV. 

God is interested in you having ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE THAT MAKES A WHOLESOME LIVING. He is interested in the good of all the aspects of your life. He wants you not only to be HEAVENLY MINDED and MINDFUL, but also to be of EARTHLY GOOD and WORTH, in all that pertains to this LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the TEMPLE to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” – Acts 5:20. 

“Therefore BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also WE HAVE ACCESS by FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

The ongoing of life matters in your whole being – Spirit, Soul and Body – needs to bring you to a place where you’re blameless, to be full of life, bubbling and in great goodness, graciousness and gracefulness; and in  course of doing life – meaning, you are in state of being – HEAVENLY MINDED and MINDFUL, and to be equally accompanied by a state of being – EARTHLY GOOD and WORTH. That’s God’s gracious and graceful Plan, Purpose and Pursuit for you while in this state of humanity. 

As Jesus increased in WISDOM [Mentally sound], STATURE [Physically – Physique healthy], and in FAVOUR with God [Spiritually Communing] and FAVOUR with Man [Socially, emotionally, and Economically connected], even so God intends for us to experience accordingly, in His plan, purpose and pursuit in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Therefore, it’s expedient and imperative that we are informed and acquainted with ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE and the mode of operation; and more importantly, how they relate to God’s WORD, to enable us to DO LIFE with ease in the GRACE wherein we STAND; and be WHOLE in – spirit, soul, and body, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

It’s now time to stop LIVING on – the UNFINISHED MADE and BAKED meal or food, while it’s time for you to take WHOLESOME WORD to make a WHOLESOME LIVING in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, as you do life and live godly in the grace. 

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and UNDAMAGED—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept COMPLETE and [be found] BLAMELESS at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/Amplified. 

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified. 

I hereby commend you in Christ Jesus stead, to GO FORTH AND TAKE A STAND in grace, and then thrive, live and do life wholly, completely, fully, totally, entirely, and steadfastly in every way. Now it’s your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, to ensure you actualise your BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

MAKE YOUR WHOLESOME LIVING POSSIBLE BY TAKING A SCRIPTURAL STAND AND SPEAKING FORTH ON THE WHOLESOME WORDS OF THIS LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

BLESSED REGARDS!

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

Let your LEGACY of doing life and living godly be defined by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] in Christ Jesus in you.  

For Jesus Christ, experience in humanity, was marked by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, in order for him to ensure and be assured, of God’s ever ANOINTED presence which was with Him, to make Him stay enabled and above all and above only. [Hebrews 1:7-9; Psalms 45:6-7]. 

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

The Kingdom of God is consummated with a SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and Jesus ensures that He loves RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] and hates wickedness, to keep the enemy at bay and in order to be assured that He earned God’s approval instead of men’s applauds and hyper – [Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15]. 

Don’t you cherish such sphere and realm of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead? [Matthew 6:33 (Luke 12:31]. God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is the only stand to hold on to in Him – and as we do life and live godly in the midst of the fallibility of the human nature, human acceptance and of the hope and assurance before men. And it’s in the knowing and understanding that the kingdom of God, is not a matter of pleasure in eating and drinking, but it’s about RIGHTEOUSNESS, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit. 

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

And if you desire to live and be ABOVE ONLY it’s not by mouth-talking but rather to ensure and be assured that you are standing on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus Amen.  

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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