PRUDENCE – THE MANAGING AND MANAGEMENT OF GOD’S RESOURCES

By Leave a Comment

PRUDENCE – THE MANAGING AND MANAGEMENT OF GOD’S RESOURCES: THE FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE – THE WISE PATH IN DOING LIFE THROUGH PRUDENCE!

“A PRUDENT [FAR-SIGHTED] man FORESEETH the evil, and HIDETH himself: but the SIMPLE [NAIVE] pass on, and are PUNISHED [SUFFERED]” Proverbs 22:3.

PRUDENCE – is the managing and MANAGEMENT of God’s endowed and given resources in terms of – TALENT/SKILL, FINANCE (MONEY), TIME, MATERIAL (PHYSICAL SUPPORT) and PEOPLE – that are within reach to do the PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL diligent work in life and grace. The above is the definition God taught me in His WISDOM FOR LIVING SCHOOL. And in doing any form of business in the kingdom, I have learned and yet learning what it takes to be FULFILLED beyond SUCCESS or been SUCCESSFUL; and being PRUDENT, there’s the need to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE and DILIGENT in all matters of doing life and godly living.

“The WISE in heart shall be called PRUDENT: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning” Proverbs 16:21.

Therefore, considering the context of been PRUDENT – there’s the need to be prudent in the management of God’s given resources that is/are available to you, in doing life and living godly. The faithfulness to such given resources of God, will open doors of trust to greater endowments for any – Matthew 25:14-30. You need to learn from our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who in His humanity in earthly ministerial assignment and mandate of Father God, NEVER waisted the would have been considered left overs – fragments – instead, after feeding the five thousands men beside women and children with the five loaves and two fishes, He ensured that the fragments were gathered into twelve (12) baskets for other cause or causes – Matthew 14:15-21.

“. . . 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they TOOK UP of the FRAGMENTS that remained twelve baskets full . . .” Matthew 14:15-21 [Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17].

Considering been PRUDENT in one resource – FINANCES – there’s the need to ensure and be prudently intelligent; for the essence of being prudence in finance and financial management, may not be appreciated until you hit the bottom as I have experience, when all you have worked for, or given to or inherited, disappeared before your very eyes, as found in the Prodigal son lifestyle of Luke 15:11-24; and more so, in Isaac bankruptcy because of FAMINE (AUSTERITY) breakout as experienced in the Holy writ of Genesis 25 and 26 respectively.

My mentor and father in the Lord of blessed memory once said in a marriage seminar to the the marriage men audience in attendance of then, with this wisdom nuggets for marital living:

“DON’T BORROW MONEY FROM YOUR WIFE’S” simply because in the wife’s context world – in the paying back, “IT’S AN INTEREST-ONLY BUSINESS – AND PAYING BACK NEVER ENDS” while the marriage last.

I promise you, you will pay INTEREST-ONLY for all your life and the loan will never be acknowledged as paid. That’s the lesson I learnt not early enough. It took me years to put together what that statements means. What I have which I considered to have been mine in a way, is called OURS; but what children and wife has, they say it’s THEIRS and not ours respectively. Is that not been selfish by these two groups? – this is how I have always thought prior, probably I may be wrong. Do anybody have/having such experience or its just me in my world? Help me out if you are.

I later in course of time discovered that the notepad where my wife wrote she lent me money years and years ago that I could hardly remember again, is still intact long after I’ve fully paid back within the framework of time agreed even when the purpose was still about family cause and causes. For her that money is her’s and not ours indeed. Each time I have requested she should have indicated fully paid with date on her notepad then, she said NO. When I asked why, she would say whatever I’ve paid as far as she is concern is ‘INTEREST ONLY’ because money taken from a woman is never fully paid just as my father in the Lord have told me – as he thought us in the marriage seminar from his own experiences. My wife said, that’s the only act to help me understand what PRUDENCE and being PRUDENT really means in financial matters for Believer’s in Christ Jesus – the management of God’s given resource, and the reason for you to live and do life WITHIN your own available means and resource, and not someone else. That’s what I ascribed as to – LIVE/LIVING WITHIN YOUR FAITH! – which means otherwise, as living within your means as said previously.

Honestly, l’ve been paying the bill in years now, over and over again and I am still being told it’s INTEREST-ONLY. She taught me to learn PRUDENCE as a serious matter and good ‘FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE’ in the School of life LESSONS, of not wanting to borrow for any thing that doesn’t lead to PRODUCTIVITY in terms of – innovating, creating and exploring. Her action have broaden my horizon in terms of living far ABOVE the norms as may be applicable in many ways especially – in living in a western world capitalism – where there’s an indebtedness of society’s at large. And never again to lend from interest only Business; not even in Property Mortgages, Credit Cards menace as dominant in the western world, and which many part of the world are now embracing despite the lessons learnt from the economic meltdown of 2008 and other recession that have emanated prior and out of it, till the present day and time.

However, thanks to my lovely wife and her school of interest-only lesson which my father in the Lord was right eventually. It has made me wiser today than ever before. Bless you HONEY if you are reading this note, ensure you’ve written on your notepad – fully paid and dated. If not reading this, which I hope not, to save my day. Lol.

Do anybody have such experience? Bless you too. Let me have your feedback. Thanks.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH: ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD!

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

In life, you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD or you are living by FATE built upon RELIGION that you do in the name of God that connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, by laws, man-made traditional sectarian settings being carried on and practice overtime as a spiritual norms and other such like.

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the sure WORD, and the sure WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the FATE bondages. Hence FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead  in the face of any challenges that shows up in the world.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5/Emphasis Mine.

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of the FAITH in Christ Jesus which are:

* The WORLD – the enemy we SEE

* The FLESH – the enemy we FEEL

* The DEVIL – the enemy we KNOW

* The RELIGION – the enemy we DO

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay – especially the RELIGION enemy that’s subtle and crafty which we DO and have robbed many of the genuineness of the Faith; for while many go living on FATE thinking it’s FAITH in Christ Jesus, and without the knowing that one have been engraved with religiosity in essence; and there are many there who are without genuine difference that’s scripturally FAITH-BASED apart from the sect religious differences they own as to what they do.

The essence why you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience these but not limited, of the graciousness of God in these sphere:

* YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teacher’s; and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts earlier mentioned.

* BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy writ – the Bible; and provides the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.

* SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowing and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity and intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believer’s in Christ Jesus; and in relating and dealing with life matters with the world about us.

* EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us a effective witness bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassador and embassy of God. As an ASSURED witness, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believer’s alike astray by a great measure.

* UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus stead.

* UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts as aforementioned earlier, but can’t be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the sure FOUNDATION and sure WORD, the person of – our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

** For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and or any other of my books or published writings in the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal.

It’s my utmost PRAYERS that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that’s upon THE SURE WORD of God which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 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. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

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

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV.

“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 18:20-21/NKJV.

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS

By Leave a Comment

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS: YOU CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY!

PRAYERS – The gracious mantle of changing the course of human history by divinity – be a part of the train and trailblazers – for the world needs your impact – and prayers it’s an access to it by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be MADE for ALL men; 2 for KINGS, and for ALL that are in AUTHORITY; that we may lead a QUIET and PEACEABLE life in all GODLINESS and HONESTY. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

Prayer CHANGES things; it’s your time to PRAY to SAVE yourself and those you care about from BECOMING the PREY and VICTIM of the unrelenting Enemy and Cohorts. We are in a great time of great NEED, and God’s grace is readily available today as always to ANSWER our QUEST and deep hearts yearnings in this difficult and challenging times, as it’s written:

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.

There’s a very strong NEED today than ever before for you to team up and create a Personal, Community and National PRAYER WALLS to end the appalling devastation on our homes, streets, communities (local, state, national), government and governance.

Do you have a set personal PRAYER WALL? Can you team with one or two or more for a PRAYER WALL chain of at least 5mins a day? I know you can if you resolved.

There is the need to have a PRAYER WALL for Personal and National Affairs with God, if you must make a remarkable eternal effect and difference in your earthly life affairs before God and Mankind. This is only possible when you can recall King Hezekiah PRAYER WALLS to reverse his life span sentence after a verdict has been divinely made upon him as in the Holy writ of Isaiah 38:1-8. Like King Hezekiah, as redeemed royal priesthood, God can tell you what will happen in your circumstances, and you can change the outcome. Too often, we look for somebody else to do it for us. It’s now your time and my time to rise to the platform and make the difference we dearly need and desired.

God will HEAL and wants to HEAL our LAND (Nations) from any forms of ills, but it’s in our prerogative to create the atmosphere to ensure His healing virtue has a free cause to be fulfilled as promised. And it’s simply for these three reasons as written in 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

** When There’s No RAIN (No Productivity) to THRIVE and FULLFIL PURPOSE due to stalled or stunted or collapse or meltdown in economic growth and development.

** When The LOCUSTS (Economic recessions, Corruption and Austerity Measures) invades and rules the land (Nations) due to bad governance/government or failed personal and national economic set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

** When PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of Endemic and Epidemic Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science investments year to year to curb the various infirmities.

The scriptures of Chronicles indicates that we can turn the hand of divinity for good towards us for the heavenly outpour. Meaning if divinity was RESPONSIBLE for our pains, we CAN appeal to God and change His intent as the Scriptural context indicates; much more if He’s not, we can for sure and certainty with divinity on our side be able to thrive, accomplish and bring about the change and atmosphere we earnestly crave to have. That is, giving the heavenly permission to interfere for the good of our earthly affairs. Think about it as the Holy writ scriptures thus indicate.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the LAND, or if I SEND PESTILENCE among my PEOPLE;  14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attend unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

PRAYERS – THE MANTLE OF CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY. Let’s get engaged, let’s get on board, let’s do it, as the only living breath we have for our wholeness, fulness, fruitfulness and fulfilment in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the LAND, or if I SEND PESTILENCE among my PEOPLE;  14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“In those days was HEZEKIAH SICK UNTO DEATH. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, SET THINE HOUSE IN ORDER: FOR THOU SHALT DIE, AND NOT LIVE. 2 Then Hezekiah TURNED HIS FACE TOWARD THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord, 3 and said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. 7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down” Isaiah 38:1-8.

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

IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION

IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION: BE LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL YOU DO!

“. . . 14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-16.

We live in an enviable smart generation; it’s a gracious and graceful place to be; and to triumphantly live and thrive meaningfully and purposefully, one needs to be watchful and connected; and to be connected to the one who is able to HELP us to stay ABOVE ONLY in the midst of all the NOISE around it – and that person to help us is the BLESSED Holy Spirit. And by being LED of the Holy Spirit in ALL you do, you can both please the Father God and live faithfully on His merit on earth in this seamless, smart, and digitised generation.

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should PRAY for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And He that SEARCHETH the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:26-27.

Don’t Be Deceived by any nor be mistaken by self errors, it’s time for you to exercise yourself into the realm of VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS by engaging yourself with the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL TRUTH called the HOLY BIBLE. You need to – READ and STUDY and SEARCH the SCRIPTURES for self discovery that will give and lead you into self recovery in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. If I may ask you today, HOW MUCH ARE YOU READING and STUDYING and SEARCHING THE WORD in context and comparison to your WATCHING AND VIEWING photos and videos on social media platform and such like.

Today, we are carried away with image photos and videos, which most times may be photoshopped, disfigured, distorted, dotted, adulterated and twisted as the creators of such, while many buy into them, analysed them and transmit them on baseless information to vulnerable hearts. You need to be very careful, vigilant and swiftly alert these days; and much more, be LED of the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God if you want the best and FULNESS of our God in this challenging but enviable generation.

“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be ALERT, VIGILANT and CAUTIOUS at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, PROWLS around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking SOMEONE to devour. 9 But RESIST him, be firm and steadfast in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. 11 To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11/Amplified.

It’s through the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD that’s BREATHED by the Holy Spirit that we can do life and live godly with this TIMED GENERATION in spite of all the awesome happenings in it.

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD: DO YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST TODAY!

“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.

SELF-ASSESSMENT saves. SELF-APPRAISALS delivers and secures one from embarrassing oneself in a public domain. A daily medicine of examining one’s faith in any context of doing life and living godly, it’s enriching in our journey to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit in our life’s.

“But let a man EXAMINE himself . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:28.

More so, it’s a high time for you to FEED YOUR FAITH and STARVE YOUR DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good in LIFE and GRACE, as you give your EARS to the HEARING of the WORD of FAITH in order to thrive in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead [Amos 8:11-14; Romans 10:8-10, 17; Proverbs 4:20-23].

If ‘FAITH’, which is the DEFAULT, LEGAL and VITAL TENDER to please, relate and obtain God’s attention COMES by the hearing of ‘THE WORD’, which is of God, it thus means NO HEARING of THE WORD of God, means NO ‘FAITH’; and NO FAITH, means NO ACTIVATION can take place as expected to PLEASE God scripturally. [Amos 8:11-14; Hebrews 11:6].

So, if I may ask, are you hearing and listening to THE WORD? [John 1:1-5; 1 John 5:7; Romans 10:8]. What WORD are you listening to? What WORD are you hearing? What WORD are you giving your attention to? What sorts of information are you FEEDING your spirit-being with? Is it God’s the one SPEAKING or SAYING His WORD to you or otherwise? [Proverbs 4:20-23; Romans 10:8-10]. You better check it out, otherwise you may end up making God’s Word of NO EFFECT for your good, because of your TRADITIONS through IGNORANCE.

“Making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT through your TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:13.

Are you held bound by TRADITION and IGNORANCE? Yea, meaning held bound by our self made culture, make-believe, dogmas, religiosity, religion and religious prejudice, and man-made creed, philosophy and indulgence and more, which contradicts God’s WORD, the basis of formulating our FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.

So, EXAMINE your FAITH before you lay blame on God as some do when on crossroads and crossfire. Feed your FAITH And starve Your DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good and goodness. [2 Corinthians 13:5].

Be BLESSED in Christ. Amen.

“But let a man EXAMINE himself . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:28.

“So then FAITH COMETH by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

“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.

“My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:20-23.

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

THE WORK OF GRACE: ARE YOU ASHAMED OR EMBOLDENED (UNASHAMED) TO DO THE WORK?

Are you ASHAMED of the Gospel of Christ? When last where you EMBOLDENED to make your FAITH by the Gospel of Christ KNOWN to all ABOUT you? Are you still hiding from public view as Christ Disciple? Are you a hidden Believer of the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead? Are you not willing to make known your RESOLVED to be an AMBASSADOR of and for Christ Jesus? Which are you? ASHAMED or UNASHAMED!

You need not to be ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ for its the ENABLING POWER (CAPACITY, ABILITY) of God for human DIGNITY to be ACTUALISED in His divine PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

For me, in all situations, I am PROUDLY and awesomely EMBOLDENED to be Christ Jesus DISCIPLE and AMBASSADOR by the GOSPEL. I therefore encourage you today to be graciously and gracefully emboldened in all situations to be UNASHAMED of who you are in God, because there are hopes of many that can be RECONCILED to God through your essence in Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“For THE GRACE of God has appeared that OFFERS salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say ‘NO’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to LIVE self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this PRESENT age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to REDEEM us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone DESPISE you” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“For God hath not GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND. 8 Be not thou therefore ASHAMED of the TESTIMONY of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou PARTAKER of the AFFLICTIONS OF THE GOSPEL according to the power of God; 9 who hath SAVED us, and CALLED us with an HOLY CALLING, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the GOSPEL: 11 whereunto I am appointed a PREACHER, and an APOSTLE, and a TEACHER of the Gentiles. 12 For the which cause I also SUFFER these things: NEVERTHELESS I AM NOT ASHAMED: for I know WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, and am PERSUADED that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day” 2 Timothy 1:7-12.

“But let none of you SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a CHRISTIAN, let him not be ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that JUDGMENT must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that OBEY not the GOSPEL of God?” 1 Peter 4:15-17.

“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 10:10-13.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye RECONCILED to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

THE MARITAL CONFLICTS CONTEXT

By Leave a Comment

THE MARITAL CONFLICTS CONTEXT: THE HELP-MEET (DIVINE) VS THE HELP-MATE (HUMAN) IN SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT AND PURPOSE!

And God BLESSED them – male (Adam) and female (Eve); for in God’s marital plan – MARRIAGE IS BLESSED not CURSE, more so, it’s not a CURSE thing as some may have acclaimed and or associated respectively because of the difficulties and challenges. And every marital couple is CALLED to INHERIT a BLESSING – [1 Peter 3:9 (1-12)]. When God makes you or anything, He makes them good and beautiful [Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalms 139:14]; and in God’s definition of the MARITAL relationship plan, purpose and pursuit – MARRIAGE is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL and is ASSURED – to be sorrow free; for the BLESSING of God MAKES rich, He add no SORROW and CONFUSION with it as the SCRIPTURES enjoined, for God is not the Author or creator of any form of CONFUSION, especially now on MARITAL context – [Genesis 1:28; Proverbs 10:22; 1 Corinthians 14:33].

Be it known today, that when the PURPOSE of a thing is MISUSED, MISUNDERSTOOD, MISCONSTRUED, MISINTERPRETED and MISAPPROPRIATED, then ABUSE and ABUSIVENESS takes its root and cause. The term ABUSE means in essence, the – ABNORMAL USE or ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR – and in marriage or marital relationship context, is simply for the lack of knowledgeable understanding of God’s definition and intent (PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT) in marriage. This is likened to or a results of ‘MEN’ who don’t LEAD but are BOSSY, and ‘WOMEN’ who don’t FOLLOW but SUBVERT DIVERGENTLY their places in grace to suit individuals intent and context of definition, which is contrary to scriptural demands and context. Hence we see some major reason for ‘Marital Conflict and Confusion’ in the Christian Faith.

Know full well that GOD WILL ONLY COMMEND WHAT HE COMMANDS. As such, when HELP-MEET becomes HELP-MATE as a result of NO LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP to Scripturally context and demands, what then do you expect to happen in such unscriptural context? There will be absence of the ENABLING GRACE and EMPOWERING BLESSEDNESS of God’s WORD, to make such relationship BECOME what God intended it to be in His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT; this is what then makes every human efforts and investment in time, finance, material and such like to ENDS up in CONFUSIONS and FRUSTRATION. As such, God’s intent (PLANS, PURPOSES AND PURSUITS) in marital causes will be HINDERED; more so, it will become as in many cases, a VAIN CAUSE that OUGHT not to have been started and ventured into. That’s   just one of the major aspects while Apostle Paul in his scriptural context, will make known of not frustrating the enabling grace available to him to do the gospel assignment as he scriptural stated – [Galatians 2:21].

“I do not FRUSTRATE the GRACE of God: for if RIGHTEOUSNESS (GOD’S INTENT) come by the LAW (MAN’S DEFINITION), then Christ is DEAD in VAIN” Galatians 2:21 (Emphasis Mine).

Effective MANAGEMENT of any proven good and thriving cause is born in the LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP that makes it be. Meaning, if you wants as a MAN your WOMAN to provide you the ANGELIC needed HELP MEET, provide her the HEAVENLY atmospheric LEAD and LEADERSHIP that is desirable of Angels – [Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20]; for ANGELS don’t dwell in HELL to provide and give the good deeds as DESIRED of them from God. You can’t hold God’s TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR and expects a heavenly outpour of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in His BLESSEDNESS. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS. Same it’s applicable too of any marital woman (wife) who WANTS a heavenly husband but UNPREPARED and not READY to FOLLOW his LEAD and LEADERSHIP accordingly, as Sarah FOLLOWED Abraham in scriptural context of God’s LEAD in her husband.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them” Romans 1:18-19.

“. . . 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any amazement . . . ” 1 Peter 3:1-12 (Ephesians 5:21-31).

TAKE TIME NOW TO PAUSE and THINK carefully on this note and context below.

In SCRIPTURAL terms, the word ‘HELP MEET’ as in Genesis 2:18 Scripture, is the same INTERPRETATION not in TRANSLATION, called PARACLETE as in Romans 8:26, which speaks of the Holy Spirit, who is our BEING HELPER; He’s our enabling HELPER in weakness and strenght, to meet up and be qualified to God’s demands and obligations in life and grace. Hence we can say He is our HELP MEET to make up to God’s BLESSEDNESS and not a HELP-MATE TO COMPETE AND FIGHT with, either within and without, and by any measure, in order to fulfill God’s SCRIPTURAL demands in His BLESSEDNESS. When God made ADAM (male), He gave him an assignment that is PRINCIPLED with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY long before EVE (female) the wife was made. Indicating a male folks has an assignment with God, knowingly or unknowingly. An it is in the order to ACHIEVE the given divine assignment in BLESSEDNESS, that God provides a HELPER or HELP-MEET as it’s written:

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be ALONE (in PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT); I will make him an HELP MEET (to fulfill PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT) for him” Genesis 2:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities (weakness and limitations): for we KNOW NOT what we SHOULD pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” Romans 8:26 (Emphasis Mine).

We can end all these divergent confusion and daily crises in MARITAL RELATIONSHIP places when we maintain in life and grace that which God has allowed us be. Be profoundly happy what God made you be, and therein you will find meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, know for sure again and again, that God only COMMENDS obedience to what He COMMANDS. Any breaking of His Word as Adam did to satisfy the statuesque outside His BLESSEDNESS, will make God’s Word and enabling grace for the individual inoperative. It’s for this and such like, that many Believers today live beneath the FULLNESS made available for them  by God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus – who is our REDEMPTION DEED, Saviour and Lord. Hence, let the man show forth the genuine SCRIPTURAL leadership and the woman same like following. For its when the Woman wants to FOLLOW and the Man is BOSSY instead of showing leadership, there will be wahala wahala, that’s trouble trouble. In same scenario, when a men offers LEADERSHIP and the woman can’t follow for whatsoever reasons, there’s bound to be confusion and chaos. That’s the foundation to all other conflicts and side effects respectively – [Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:11-14].

I pray that your MARITAL RELATIONSHIP will find a daily meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL: THE DESERT LAND AWAKENING REVIVAL IS COME AND COMING!

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9.

“And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship” Acts 8:26-27.

The Ministry of the GOSPEL of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, as commissioned for THE LOCAL CHURCH, which is you, that our Father God is building [Matthew 16:13-20; Ephesians 4:11-16], in Christ Jesus, is of these segments:

  1. The Ministry to the LORD – An ACTS of WORSHIP.
  2. The Ministry to the BODY OF CHRIST – An ACTS of DISCIPLESHIP.
  3. The Ministry to the WORLD – An ACTS of EVANGELISM/MISSION [SOUL WINNING].

The Gospel assignments of our Lord God is and are enormous. However, the third segments, which is the MINISTRY TO THE WORLD through evangelism and mission outreach for soul winning, is the main context in this writ, because it’s the basis to have and establish the first and second segments into reality. And missions for missionary mandate for me cut across all regions as long as there’s a soul there to minister to the well-being with the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus stead, just as Philip did in Acts 8:5-8, 26-40. And how much I cherished going to the remote places – VILLAGES – to reach out to souls than reaching out MERELY to the mix multitudes especially in the CITIES. There in the remote places you see originality and genuine repentance and willingness of souls to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him WORTHILY, in Christ Jesus stead. And I found same mission in Christ Jesus in humanity, as He carry out the Father God Gospel assignment concerning Him, as it’s written:

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the GOSPEL of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35.

Assuredly and certainly – The DESERT remote NATIONS shall BOW and SERVE The Lord God – The eternal Blood of Jesus Christ for human Salvation in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS belongs to all including those in the wilderness/deserted places too. For in God’s plan, there is NEITHER Jew nor Greek/Gentile, there is neither bond nor free, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for everyone is QUALIFIED to access God through Christ Jesus for their salvation. 1 Timothy 2:5, Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 3:10-11; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-28; Romans 1:14-15.

Am emboldened to say that despite what’s going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES – for our God is not only the God of THE JEWS but also of THE GENTILE’S World, for both makes up THE CHURCH OF GOD, that He is raising and building in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33 (1 Corinthians 1:18-24).

The confusion in the world today has an end for the liberation of human lives without artillery, drones, guns and bombs; and also goes beyond humanitarian and charitable aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places including the DESERT landscape as we see happening today in good hearted causes.

Be it known as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS is coming to past. If you believe say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus stead. For the DESERT REMOTE NATIONS SHALL BOW AND SERVE GOD AS THOSE ALSO IN THE CITIES.

“But now ye also PUT OFF all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have PUT OFF the old man with his deeds; 10 and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is NEITHER GREEK nor JEW, CIRCUMCISION nor UNCIRCUMCISION, BARBARIAN, SCYTHIAN, BOND nor FREE: but Christ is all, and in all” Colossians 3:8-11.

“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER JEW nor GREEK, there is NEITHER BOND nor FREE, there is NEITHER MALE nor FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:27-28.

“Then Philip went down to the CITY of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great JOY in that city . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him . . .” Acts 8:5-8, 26-40.
