THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR: ARE IN THE FAITH WITHIN YOU!

“. . . 14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE; WONDERFUL are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15  My FRAME was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And INTRICATELY and SKILLFULLY FORMED [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth . . .” Psalms 139:1-18 Amplified.

The true BEAUTY and COLOUR is in the FAITH you STAND upon WITHIN you in God. Meaning, what God in Christ Jesus has MADE you BE in Him. It’s the most awesome acknowledgment that can transform you for all eternity. It makes you take a stand and communicate your FAITH in God without doubts, shame, inferiority complex, phobia, dispute and any form of human reasoning and philosophy. I found it so, hence, I am emboldened to say so, as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

You are God MADE – a more than what a MAKE UP classification can MAKE you be. BEAUTY and COLOUR is of God, but let Your COLOUR AND BEAUTY be in Christ Jesus Stead. Let it be from your FAITH WITHIN and not from the mere OUTWARD DECORATION, COLOURING And BEAUTIFYING. Meaning, let the reckoning of who you ARE and BECOME, be TREASURED of the enabling BEAUTY AND COLOUR that’s being generated within you, such that when the OUTWARD is no more there, there’s no DIFFERENCE or INDIFFERENCE about you.

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

A mere physical BEAUTY and COLOUR is good, gracious, graceful, lovely and sweet, romantic and more as in – Song of Solomon 7:1-13; but will fade and weathered out with time as flower and grass just as most have come and gone with their glamour and celebrity applaud – Isaiah 40:6-8 and 1 Peter 1:24-25. Let the DEFINITION of your BEAUTY and COLOUR be drawn in LIFE and GRACE as given to ladies – the female folks especially and all afterwards – in the light of the Holy Writ Scriptures, on the how to showcase the ESSENCE of Christ Jesus in them – 1 Timothy 2:8-10 and 1 Peter 3:1-12.

I know some religious and traditional people can only remember direct quote of the proverbial that BEAUTY is VAIN in context (Proverbs 31:30), without UNDERSTANDING the context and more, so forgetting that God Himself, the creator of all things known and unknown, made ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL in His creative TIMELESS timeline realm of His BLESSEDNESS – Ecclesiastes 3:11. May it be noted also, that the feet, pathway, walkway and life spring of those who proclaim the GOSPEL of peace – which is of God in Christ Jesus, are BEAUTIFUL, COLOURFUL, lovely, gracious and graceful (Romans 10:15; Isaiah 52:7).

You ARE God Made into His BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL world of BLESSEDNESS, which is ONLY possible in Christ Jesus, irrespective of your circumstances, situations and classification. Only let it be resolved in you that God does loves and cares about you in everyway in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING. 9 In LIKE MANNER also, that women ADORN (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works” 1 Timothy 2:8-10 (Emphasis Mine).

 “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, IF ANY OBEY NOT THE WORD, they also may WITHOUT THE WORD BE WON by the CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) of the wives; 2 while they behold your chaste CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) coupled with fear (REVERENCE). 3 Whose ADORNING (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) let it not be that OUTWARD ADORNING (DECORATION, BEAUTIFYING, COLOURING) of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 but let it be the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ORNAMENT OF A MEEK AND QUIET spirit, which is in the sight of God of GREAT PRICE. 5 For AFTER THIS MANNER in the old time the HOLY WOMEN also, who TRUSTED in God, ADORNED (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR), being in subjection unto their own husbands: 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. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, GIVING HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; that your PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. 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/ Amplified.

“For all things ARE for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is RENEWED day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” 2 Corinthians 4:15-18.

“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.

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION: It’s The MARK of GRACE, GODLINESS And GODLY LIVING!

“Yea, and ALL that will LIVE GODLY in Christ Jesus shall suffer PERSECUTION” 2 Timothy 3:12.

“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” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

For some, the subject of – PERSECUTION, REJECTION, DESPITE, TRIALS – of their FAITH and the SUFFERING for – their FAITH, in Christ Jesus should not be MARRIED together with good deeds that are promised in the GOSPEL; and I have grown to know that the known beautiful and lovely ROSE FLOWERS gives such gracious fragrance, aroma and lovely scent and more, are not without THORNS from where they are plucked to offer as love gesture. It’s because I have bought lots for my dear and lovely sweet wife over time to know it well too.

In same scenario, the Christian FAITH journey is MARKED with PERSECUTION, DESPITE, REJECTION and such like, even in the midst of the GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS and LOVINGKINDNESS and GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE. So in the midst of God’s BEAUTY and COLOUR, there can be challenging time, PERSECUTION and the SUFFERING for your good FAITH by those who have mistaken, misconstrued and misunderstood you for your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

The Scriptures thus indicates that all who might choose GODLY LIVING in this world ahead of the world to come, MUST suffer PERSECUTION – that is, to be persecuted, despite, rejected and such like. 2 Timothy 3:10-12 (Amplified). Meaning, you don’t have to avoid or abandon your glorious and precious FAITH of beauty and colour in Christ Jesus, just because of the PERSECUTION, which many unfortunately have ignored to hold unto and have walked away to avoid been PERSECUTED as such.

The first early DISCIPLES – FOLLOWERS – of Christ Jesus once questioned our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in this context of their FAITH, in order to ascertain and to know if there is/are any gain in following Christ Jesus stead towards God; Christ Jesus hesitated not to inform them of the GOOD, GOODNESS and REWARD of following the cause and course of the Gospel. And He equally informed them of one major truth – that PERSECUTION is part of the marked set in the following of Him in God to fulfil PURPOSE. Mark 10:28-30; Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:28-30.

Apostle Paul, the endowed writer of more than half of the New Testament epistles, did charged, admonished and exhorted in many of His writings, especially the writ in Romans 8:35-39, of the essence of PERSECUTION; and how that should not deter one essence, to get glued to the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead. He reckoned that the suffering or challenges that are as a result of PERSECUTION can’t be COMPARED to the GLORY to be REVEALED in us all who draw not back – that is, back away from our continual FAITH in following the cause of God in Christ Jesus.

“For I reckon that the SUFFERINGS of this PRESENT TIME are not WORTHY to be COMPARED with the GLORY which shall be REVEALED in us” Romans 8:18.

I urge you TODAY and NOW, to keep holding on steadfastly in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead no matter what does appear to challenge your FAITH and all you seem to be going through at present, in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. I will cautioned in the light of Apostle Peter epistle, that when you do suffer in PERSECUTION as if you an evil DOER when you are not, do REJOICE in Christ Jesus for such is of the Kingdom of God. Meaning, let it not be that your suffering acclaimed as PERSECUTION is not what you’ve CREATED out and or caused of your self doing as an EVIL DOER – for that WORTH no benefit at all in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Peter 4:15-16; 1 Peter 3:13-18; 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE, HAPPY ARE YE: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that FALSELY ACCUSE YOUR GOOD CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, THAT YE SUFFER FOR WELL DOING, THAN FOR EVIL DOING. 18 For Christ also hath once SUFFERED for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” 1 Peter 3:13-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, SUFFERING WRONGFULLY. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 FOR EVEN HEREUNTO WERE YE CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; WHEN HE SUFFERED, HE THREATENED NOT; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY” 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“Now you have diligently followed [my example, that is] my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 PERSECUTIONS, and SUFFERINGS—such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, but the Lord rescued me from them all! 12 Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are DETERMINED TO LIVE GODLY LIVES in Christ Jesus will be HUNTED AND PERSECUTED [because of their faith]” 2 Timothy 3:10-12 Amplified.

“Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].” 29 Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there is no one who has given up a house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms—along with PERSECUTIONS; and in the age to come, eternal life” Mark 10:28-30 Amplified.

“Blessed are they which are PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE you, and PERSECUTE you, and shall say all manner of EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” Matthew 5:10-12.

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 WHEREIN I SUFFER TROUBLE, AS AN EVIL DOER, EVEN UNTO BONDS; BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND. 10 Therefore I ENDURE all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” 2 Timothy 2:8-10.

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

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; (for he is faithful that promised;) . . .35 CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 BUT WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

“Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; ONLY LEST THEY SHOULD SUFFER PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 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 6:11-16.

Hello CHRISTIAN Men – WORDS Matters

By Leave a Comment

Hello CHRISTIAN Men – WORDS Matters: Keep Speaking GRACIOUS WORDS To Your Wife And Other Women THERE In Your Life!

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH; you are TAKEN by THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.

“And ALL BARE HIM (JESUS CHRIST) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not THIS Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 (Emphasis Mine).

Are you a godly hearted man? And if YES, are  you speaking gracious WORDS toward others, especially towards your wife and the women about you? Or you are childish loosed mouthed boy-man who speaks some OUTRAGEOUS words to your wife and other women that are out THERE about your life sphere? Have you ever thought that as a man that WORDS MATTERS and any OUTRAGEOUS, DEMEANING and DEROGATORY words are very much unnecessary no matter the level of elemental things that THE she woman must have done? Do you know or realise that you are the CUSTODIAN of what you say – be it good or evil, especially as a Christian man? Do know for sure, that it’s out of the NURSERY and NURSED WORDS in your hearts, that your mouth speaks – be it the good or evil.

“For every TREE is KNOWN by his own FRUIT. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD; and an EVIL man out of the EVIL treasure of his HEART bringeth FORTH that which is EVIL: FOR OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:44-45.

As I picture Jesus Christ this morning and moment, the author and finisher of our FAITH [Hebrews 12:2] in God, I could recall over and over again in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT how He speaks and answers to many matters that would have made Him to have an outburst. The graciousnesss and gracefulness of His choice words calms down matters and send the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay for the good of OTHERS about Him. Even at a very temperamental point of testing of His life, He was gracious to the end.

“Hereafter I WILL NOT TALK MUCH WITH YOU: for the PRINCE of this world cometh, and HATH NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and TEMPTING desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven . . .” Matthew 16:1-4 [Mathew 19:3; Matthew 22:35; Mark 8:11; Mark 10:2; Luke 11:16; John 8:6].

“And ALL BARE HIM (JESUS CHRIST) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And THEY SAID, is not THIS Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 (Emphasis Mine).

And as one privileged under God to Pastor and Shepherd in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, hearing from women how we men speaks to them, especially our wives and women’s about us in a demeaning and derogatory way is becoming appalling in everyway in every given day. Just because we can’t see eyes to eyes on some COMMON issues, makes me wonder if we sincerely do understand when the scripture says we share the same common enabling grace to do life on earth and live godly toward God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. WORDS MATTERS, hence, every man especially should seek for WISDOM on how and when to speak, especially when addressing your wife or other women.

“WALK in WISDOM toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your SPEECH be alway with GRACE, SEASONED with salt, that ye may KNOW how ye OUGHT to ANSWER every man” Colossians 4:5-6.

More so, it’s wisdom to know and understand especially in separating ISSUES on discuss from the PERSON. THE ISSUES IN DISCUSS AND THE PERSON’S ARE NOT SAME. So when you have conflict in ISSUES, don’t MAKE it into a PERSON’S attacks, simply because the common issue on discuss have not been resolved to a satisfactory desire. May you ALWAYS remember this phrase from today FORWARD in moving toward an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory:

“SMALL HEARTED MINDS TALKS PERSONS, BIG HEARTED WISE MINDS TALKS ISSUES IN CONTEXT”

It’s not in my place to be specific, but if you think you are a GODLY man that eschew EVIL WORDS from your MOUTH and not a childish boy man that’s opposite, can you be mindful how you speak to your wife and the God given women about your life both in private and public settings for WORDS matters in God’s kingdom affairs.

Therefore, I plead with you today to SPEAK well and WHOLENESS to LIVE well and whole. You can live healthily healthy and whole by your WORDS to self and all about you – male and female – and more especially, to your wife and women within your reach.

Have an awesome and blessed day with GRACIOUS WORDS as Lord Jesus Christ in His stead, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Amen.

“For even HEREUNTO were ye CALLED: because Christ also suffered for us, LEAVING us an EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was GUILE FOUND IN HIS MOUTH: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously” 1 Peter 2:21-23.

“For every TREE is KNOWN by his own FRUIT. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD; and an EVIL man out of the EVIL treasure of his HEART bringeth FORTH that which is EVIL: FOR OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:44-45.

“A man’s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE:  and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof. 22 Whoso FINDETH a wife FINDETH a good thing, and OBTAINETH favour of the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22.

” . . .  7 Likewise, ye husbands, DWELL with them ACCORDING to KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as BEING HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; THAT YOUR PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: BUT CONTRARIWISE BLESSING; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 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.

“And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a GODLY seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal TREACHEROUSLY against the WIFE of his youth” Malachi 2:15.

“And the TONGUE is a fire, a WORLD of iniquity: so is the TONGUE among our members, that it DEFILETH the whole body, and SETTETH on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 but the TONGUE can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith BLESS we God, even the Father; and therewith CURSE we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same MOUTH proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be” James 3:6-10.

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA]

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA]: MAKING THE VICTORY SONGS – HALLELUJAH! HALLELUIA!! ALLELUIA!!!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, BE WEARY, PANIC, BE ANXIOUS)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE (PERFUME,  FRAGRANCE, AROMA), that he should OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the GOLDEN ALTAR which was before THE THRONE. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, WHICH CAME WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD OUT OF THE ANGEL’S HAND . . .” Revelation 8/Emphasis Mine.

PRAYER – is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus avenue of MINISTERING WORTHILY to the Lord in WORSHIP and SERVING Him ACCEPTABLY while SEEKING His HEAVENLY endorsement in our EARTHLY affairs; and it is the believing one’s inescapable and supreme PURPOSE task, toward PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL solutions in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE created” Revelation 4:11.

And there’s nothing as lovely, awesome and amazing in knowing and understanding that your PRAYERS go before God’s throne of GRACE as an INCENSE – a PERFUME, FRAGRANCE and AROMA of GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS; and that He BREATHS in your acts of MINISTERING to Him in your WORSHIP and SERVICES in PRAYERS; and the resultant effects are VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and LIGHTNING’S, and an EARTHQUAKE. These METAPHORS indicates how powerful, effectual and awesome results that accompany your PRAYERS to the HEAVENLY for your EARTHLY affairs to be resolved effortless and without sweat.

Therefore – NEVER get tired, burnt out, faint, give up and be wearisome in your PRAYERS. For PRAYER is FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him. THINK about that every time you take any posture of PRAYERS to express in word or and in hearts.

Let the Lord’s name be magnify in your PRAYERS. The Lord is good and His mercies endures for ever more. May His grace and BLESSEDNESS abound the more upon you as you make PRAYERS an inescapable and supreme task to meet the PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL needs of humanity.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they MINISTERED to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had FASTED and PRAYED, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away” Acts 13:1-3.

“Let my PRAYER be set forth before thee as INCENSE; and the LIFTING UP OF MY HANDS as the EVENING SACRIFICE” Psalms 141:2.

“. . . 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE (PERFUME,  FRAGRANCE, AROMA), that he should OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the GOLDEN ALTAR which was before THE THRONE. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, WHICH CAME WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD OUT OF THE ANGEL’S HAND. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. . .” Revelation 8 (Emphasis Mine).

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

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“IS ANY AMONG YOU AFFLICTED? LET HIM PRAY. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; AND LET THEM PRAY OVER HIM, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 AND THE PRAYER OF FAITH shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, AND HE PRAYED EARNESTLY that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 AND HE PRAYED AGAIN, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit” James 5:13-18.

The Holy Bible may seems to be mysterious to some, but is not a MYSTICAL book, but the PRACTICAL book of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. It’s not A TRUTH that you CONJURE, but THE TRUTH that you PRACTICE – in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY by God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The WISDOM needed to effectively and purposefully accomplish the “Occupy Till I Come” concept, and makes it tangible – real, and materialise, is in THE WORD. And you can’t OCCUPY to overcome the WORLD system by the WORLD, instead you need the Faith system which is  a consequence of the WORD that’s powdered by the WISDOM in the WORD to do life and godliness with ease, without sweat and prejudice. For a mere excellency of word does not over but the wisdom of the word helps to live victorious, triumphant, more than conquerors and to be an overcomer in the world – that makes one to fully say I am accomplishing the concept instructed and ordered by the Lord God, to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are CALLED in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let THE WORD of Christ dwell in you richly in ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 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 3:15-17.

Unlike every other books ever written or to be written, the HOLY BIBLE which contains the word of God, is not burdensome, irksome, grievous and taskmaster as some claim or acclaimed it to be, but it’s the LIBERATING BOOK for and of complete and wholesome freedom. It’s God’s Holy written documents that both INFORMS and TRANSFORMS the reader and user without prejudice, sentiments and discrimination. And it’s the only written documents whose AUTHOR is ever PRESENT to help one know and understand the content amicably and with ease with NO ADULTERATION and CONFUSION.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments ARE not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR TASKMASTER)” (1 John 5:3).

Every other BOOKS you READ, but the HOLY BIBLE is the only authentic and living BOOK that READS you, knows you, access and sets you free to give inner peace and tranquility at the same time at no cost, on the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. And because the WORD of God is not BOUND or leads to bondage, it SETS everyone that comes to it’s request in their quest in faith with freedom from all forms of addiction, bondage and captivity at no charge.

“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND.” (2 Timothy 2:9).

The BIBLE means to me the – (B)BLESSED (I)INFORMATION (B)BRINGING (L)LIFE (E)ETERNAL: I therefore urge and plead to you to earnestly crave to – LOVE IT, READ IT, STUDY IT, MEDITATE ON IT and PRACTICE IT, for your good and you’ll find PEACE and FREEDOM that no man can price and prize you with. Hence, I am COMMENDING it to you right now as a friend, because I know it will ANSWER that QUESTION that still hangs  about you. It will CHANGE your life and wellbeing for the good, but you have to primarily READ it for yourself in first-hand in order – to know and understand whatever in context; and to safeguard you from external pervert, adulteration and confusion; and to make it happen for your good and goodness without prejudice.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP, and to GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

I do LOVE the Holy Bible, more and more in each passing moments of READING . . . hence I INTENTIONALLY and DELIBERATELY recommends it now to you. It’s my Highly recommended TRUTH for you – you need to make an effort to READ, KNOW And UNDERSTAND – The HOLY BIBLE. The Author is always present, the Blessed Holy Spirit, to help while you do read and study and meditate upon it to have answers to your quest and experience emancipation at no cost of any sorts as you have faith in Christ Jesus stead. The Holy Bible is an ASSURED book of God’s prophetic WORD without prejudice for the good of all irrespective.

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made more certain [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from one’s own [personal or special] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified.

The Holy Bible – The Holy Writ – The Holy Scripture – The WORD of God – is God’s enabling VOICE for your yesterday, today and tomorrow. READ, SEARCH, PONDER and FIND YOUR LIFE PURPOSE IN IT. I sincerely and highly recommend it to you now, for by the WORD of God, you can live to accomplish the concept – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate that’s sets out there for all Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus, to live toward and be fulfilling, purposefully and meaningfully.

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY: TO SAVE US FROM THE SELF/RELIGIOUS ZEALOT PURPOSE INSTEAD OF GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE!

“At MIDDAY, O king, I saw in the way a LIGHT from heaven, above the BRIGHTNESS of the sun, SHINING round about me and them which journeyed with me” Acts 26:13.

At MIDDAY, the Sun is at it’s best, brightening and illuminating as many reachable places. In some TIME ZONE’S, you can’t directly look upward on the Sun at MIDDAY because of the intensity of the beam of light that it’s glowing, radiating, reflecting and illuminating upon such places. It was in such atmosphere that God chose to show and beam the superiority and illumination of His divine Sun light of righteousness over humanity Sun beam of light.

It’s time to let God shine His light at Midday on you, especially if you are unsure and thinks you are walking wrongly and doing life on assumptions and or foolishness in where you’ve found yourself at the moment. Sometimes one becomes so zealous and no knowledge, and full of knowledge and no understanding. Hence, no PURPOSEFUL living. It takes wisdom to live PURPOSEFULLY in God’s timeless timeline sphere.

When the zealous/zealot religious Saul had an encounter with divinity at MIDDAY, he became Apostle Paul. It took God’s “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” – JESUS CHRIST – to outshine the humanity MIDDAY light on Apostle Paul to take him out of his STAND as a RELIGIOUS zealot purposeful person called Saul, to God’s gracious DIVINE purpose person called Apostle Paul.

“But unto you that FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2 Emphasis Mine.

And there are many today, in their zealousness to please God, have gone about establishing their own purposeful RIGHTEOUS cause and not after God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of Christ Jesus. Know full well this day, that it’s only God’s purpose that can make all things work together for our good in all circumstance of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“For ye have heard of my CONVERSATION in time past in the Jews’ RELIGION, how that beyond measure I PERSECUTED the church of God, and WASTED it: 14 and PROFITED in the Jews’ RELIGION above many my equals in mine own nation, being more EXCEEDINGLY ZEALOUS of the TRADITIONS of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who SEPARATED me from my mother’s womb, and CALLED me by his grace” Galatians 1:13-15.

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but NOT ACCORDING to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and GOING ABOUT to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For CHRIST is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

It’s time to let DIVINITY to SHINE on your earthly affairs if you want to run without sweat and stress. Allowing God’s set “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” TIMELESS timeline on your “MIDDAY” TIMED timeline, will ensure you live to fulfill PURPOSE with God in Christ Jesus stead, meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

Get connected to God’s SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – JESUS CHRIST and all will be well again and again. And all things will turn around at your midday into God’s day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his Purpose. 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 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.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 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.

CAN THE CHURCH ARISE – TO THE WORLD SPRINGS EVERYWHERE

By Leave a Comment

CAN THE CHURCH ARISE – TO THE WORLD SPRINGS EVERYWHERE: The Springs Movement – Arab springs, African Union Springs, European Union Springs, various National springs and American (US) Spring and same-like that’s come!

“If the FOUNDATIONS [of a godly society] are destroyed, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3/Amplified.

The world is undergoing a search for self-Worth, discovery and answers to some quests with certain generation that are left behind; and the new generation that are springing up are with burning quest, that requires or requiring an answer in many and if not, all the problems that have befallen them in terms: BAD LEADERSHIP, PANDEMIC (SICKNESS AND DISEASES), POVERTY, CLIMATE CHANGE, SPIRITUAL ACTUALISATION, TERRORISM, ECONOMIC MISHAP, WARS and many such like.

From Arabian Springs of Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and more to Syria and other African, European and American leadership misnomer, has brought the greatest oppression, suppression, human displacement and chaotic immigration ever experience in modern times. And of cause the wars, poverty and insecurity and pandemic.

The European Union Spring which has resulted Great Britain exit (Brexit), many National chaos of the Union to United States of American Spring with US government as of the time of posting, have indicated the greatest acts of hatred, racism, stigma, terrorism, economic mishaps, Unsteady democracy, internal and external wars and wickedness and such like, ever known in human history and modern times.

Today every corners of the earth cries out for an ANSWER in the various springs in each continent in spite of the various actions of various groups united under the umbrella of the UNITED NATION.

May I say that until leaders of all groups begins to do the reassessment and address these crises from God’s point of view, I can’t see any acts of human endeavours, financial expenditures, humanitarian demands or such like efforts, that will ANSWER to the FULNESS the QUEST, THIRST and HUNGER and CONFUSION in the human search for self-worth and discovery of been a being. This is simply because, the human spirit is in crises seeking for an ANSWER to it’s QUEST that comes only from the creator himself; which unfortunately, men are only seeking an ANSWER to it’s QUEST, from the human leadership who can’t fathom it, just as they couldn’t and haven’t’ – in final solution to the continuous MATTERS results to the often economic financial meltdown, pandemic, wars and such like, that’s now a plague in nations today. This is why every efforts today of man, keep failing, because – its a human tragedy and it requires first a DIVINE ANSWER before the PHYSICAL resolve result can take place eventually.

Hence I say today – OH CHURCH ARISE! you the righteous – the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus stead (2 Corinthians 5:21), there’s work to be done, no folding of hands until our nations are healed as in the Bible days of old, with God’s injunction to heal the land – 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“ARISE, SHINE; FOR THY LIGHT IS COME, and the GLORY of the Lord is RISEN upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the GENTILES shall come to THY LIGHT, and KINGS to the BRIGHTNESS OF THY RISING” Isaiah 60:1-3

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 and hath MADE of one blood all NATIONS of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath DETERMINED the times before APPOINTED, and the BOUNDS of their HABITATION; 27 that they should SEEK the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the OFFSPRING of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:24-32.

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

IN A DARK AND DARKENED WORLD

IN A DARK AND DARKENED WORLD: YOU ARE THE LIGHT – BE THE LIGHT!

“Ye ARE THE LIGHT of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it UNDER a bushel, but ON a candlestick; and it GIVETH LIGHT unto all that are in the house.  16 LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE before men, that they may SEE your good works, and GLORIFY your Father which is in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16

Light will always be superior to darkness. The more darkened the brighter the light glows. The strength of light is known in a darkened atmosphere. Light will always outshine darkness at any measure. Light will always overpower darkness – John 1:5.

Light attracts, it glows, it gives direction. Light illuminates and surpasses darkness. God has commanded light to shines OUT of darkness that was in us, to give us the needed illumination to access His redemption done did and deed for us in Christ Jesus – 2 Corinthians 4:6.

Living as the light in His (Christ) light will always be better than in darkness. Light gives hope, light shines and gives a sense of life and belonging in becoming. And God has set deliverance for us from every evil that darkness represents in the world – Galatians 1:3-5; Colossians 1:13-14.

The Holy Writ says – You ARE the light of the World;  it did not say – You WILL be light. YOU ARE THE LIGHT! See yourself the way Christ sees you and BECOME it. Don’t be afraid of darkness nor the dark places no matter what. Dare to be like Daniel and the three brothers (Shadrach Meshach and Abednego) against any odds of darkness and dark places. You ARE the extension and embodiment of God’s LIGHT in Christ Jesus in the World. You ARE His song, hope, love, peace, success, salvation, deliverance, mercy, wisdom, knowledge, prosperity and more to the dark and darkened world. Be emboldened in Christ Jesus to dare the dark and darkened presence. DARE TO BE A BIBLICAL DANIEL!

Therefore shine and keep shining. Keep ENACTING who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus. May you ever GLOW in life and godliness, in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was LIFE; and THE LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5 And the LIGHT shineth in DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS COMPREHENDED it not” 1 John 1:1-5.
