YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE: BUT THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE WHILE YOU ARE WITHIN AND STILL IN THE FAITH!  

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:9. 

We ARE to be BLESSED when we BELIEVE in THE FAITH; meaning it’s possible not to be Blessed when you walk out of the threshold of God’s word in THE FAITH, wherein the blessedness of God is justified to give access in the context. Indeed in Christ Jesus, you can become what you believe, but that’s only possible while you ARE still IN THE FAITH. The context IN THE FAITH, is not about having faith but about having a grandstand in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead, which is irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in redemption. 

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

The devil, the satan, once upon a time was within the threshold of God’s word and he prospered along with the one third [1/3] angels [stars] that are classed cohorts demons today when they broke away from the blessedness of God’s word IN THE FAITH by their own selfishness and self-centredness, pride and arrogance which they put forth to stand against God’s authority and His Word. Hence, though satan and the devils may BELIEVE, that doesn’t offer him and cohorts’ demons the access and justification that redemption offers, hence he TREMBLES though he BELIEVES. However, he also BELIEVES in the authoritative truth of God’s word and the eternal judgement and condemnation that makes up his eternal damnation as in the holy writ. [Ezekiel 28:11-28; Isaiah 14:12-21; Revelation 12:3-4]. 

And in the same like spirit, the essence to BELIEVE that makes one to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is not in activation for those who have chosen to intentionally and willingly thrash their grandstands IN THE FAITH and are out there to make a sheep wrecking of the WORD of God and the redemption grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ and such like, because of the same-like arrogance, pride and behavioural mannerism as exhibited by satan the devils for which they were thrown out of the throne [presence] of God in the heavens.  

“For if we sin WILFULLY after that we have received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain FEARFUL [TREMBLING] looking for of judgment and FIERY indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much SORER punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath TRODDEN under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an UNHOLY thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will RECOMPENSE, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:26-31. 

There are many today, who are out there that are satan and devils cohorts PERVERT in the flesh and are in the devilish business of PERVERTING the Gospel at their own detriments. These sets of people are lovers of themselves, who preach the gospel without believing in it because it’s all a game for them because it’s all about their own bellies, to disrupt the truth, create contentions, schisms, chaos, falsehoods, adulteration and such like, in order to ensure that they populate hell against the populating of the heavens. 

And if these sets of satan and devils cohorts don’t repent and dissociate themselves in order to believe again for their deliverance and restoration, they will end up overstepping their opportunity of the redemption threshold and the impossible reversal of their cause, knowingly and unknowingly – meaning that the opportune time to BELIEVE to BECOME partakers in God’s BLESSEDNESS will be out of reach for them in all respects – because God can’t be mocked and gives no permission to any to break His word in arrogance and pride and wickedness. [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 6:1-8]. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

Therefore, I PLEAD with you and all who like to FOLLOW and IMITATE after people that you considered that they ARE of God, it’s time to take a pause, check through the tenet [statement] of faith that the one you looked up to actually holds steadfastly to, so that you may not be caught up with the bait that they are holding unto that’s not of God. So was it in the city of Samaria’ as happened in Acts 8:9-25 [1-25], wherein a great one as called Simon, who by sorcery was considered a great man of God and followed and looked up to by the entire city, while he was a satan and devils cohorts in the City. Such a person robs others of the truth because he doesn’t have it and can’t believe it; and couldn’t offer repentance toward God and faith in Christ Jesus in essence for their faith stead to eternal redemption, because of the sorcery craft which only offers to their detriment the eternal damnation. Thanks to God he finds an opportunity to repentance, which you can now grasp before you are out of the threshold of obtaining it. [Acts 20:20-21; Acts 17:30-31; Mark 3:28-30; Hebrews 9:11-12, John 3:16-18]. 

“Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and BLASPHEMIES wherewith soever they shall BLASPHEME: 29 but he that shall BLASPHEME AGAINST the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL DAMNATION: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit” Mark 3:28-30. 

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED [OVERLOOKED] 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 17:30-31. 

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us . . . 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator” Hebrews 9:11-16. 

Considering the writs that I have been given grace to make available on this subjects of BELIEVE in order to become in God’s BLESSEDNESS, you can see with me that – you can only BECOME what you BELIEVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when and whilst you are still in the faith of our God in Christ Jesus’ stead. That’s the only stand to being justified and to have access in the grace to take a redemption stand that gives leverage to our BLESSEDNESS in redemption. 

Suffix to say that, just as Satan the devils though BELIEVES today but yet TREMBLES in fear because their judgement is done, so are many whose intents are still not toward REPENTANCE but are of pride, arrogance to do God and be God toward others as satan did and is now set in eternal damnation. And God in graciousness and gracefulness, abhors, resist and detests signs and intents of pride, arrogance and such like, by throwing satan the devils away out of His BLESSEDNESS, will keep to His divinity to do same to any who walks away from their threshold to believe alright. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:5-10; James 4:6-10]. 

Therefore I say to you my dear friend, that while it’s yet called today and now, check up on WHAT YOU BELIEVE and WHOM YOU BELIEVE, in order to ensure and be assured that your BELIEVING gives you the justification and access to take and have a stand in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead in the faith. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24. 

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45. 

“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. 

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23. 

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 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. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24. 

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

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION: ENACTING AND POSSESSING YOUR UNCONDITIONAL COVENANT DEED IN REDEMPTION! 

“And from Jesus Christ, the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who [always] LOVES US and who [has once for all] FREED US [or WASHED US] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death)— 6 and FORMED US [or MADE US] into a kingdom [as His subjects], priests to His God and Father—to Him be the GLORY and the POWER and the MAJESTY and the DOMINION forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/AMP. 

It’s your time to enact and possess your possession, thereby authenticating your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, in order to start enjoying the DEED; the otherwise ‘BILL of – RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES’ of our redemption in Christ Jesus – in the Kingdom. For we are His Chosen to show forth – reveal and manifest the redemption essence as we do life and live godly of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Coming to Him as to a LIVING STONE, rejected indeed by men, but CHOSEN by God and PRECIOUS, 5 you also, as LIVING STONES, are being built up a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ . . . 9 But you are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, His own SPECIAL people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10/NKJV. 

I pray for you this day, that you will sing a NEW SONG as the REDEEMED sang in the Bible days as typified of them in the Holy writ of Revelation 5:9-10 – this is so, as to ENACTING and APPROPRIATING our unconditional covenant in the REDEMPTION done deed in our Saviour and Lord – Christ Jesus, with Father God, on our behalf. Amen. 

“And they sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art WORTHY to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast SLAIN, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy BLOOD out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole FAMILY in heaven and earth is named . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21. 

May you know full well, that when Jesus led captivity captive, He RECEIVED GIFTS for men. And GAVE also GIFTS to men. And your name is named among men to share in this gracious act of REDEMPTION. He RECEIVED SPIRITUAL Covenant DEED on behalf of men in order to actualis REDEMPTION [Ephesians 1:1-14; Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18]; and He GAVE GIFTS: 

  1.  The MINISTERIAL/SPIRITUAL gifts to perfect [complete, mature] and to enhance the given gifts to men [Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Romans 12:1-8].
  2. The SPIRITUAL FRUIT to enhance and perfect [mature, complete] men’s character and behavioural intent by the Holy Ghost [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5-8; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].
  3. The NEW COVENANT in Christ Jesus, to ensure our restoration from the cursed of the fall and the curse of the law that had us in bondage until our redemption was enacted and sealed by the precious blood of crucifixion, to make the New creation in us. [Genesis 3:1-24; Deuteronomy 28:1-68; Galatians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Ephesians 1:7-8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-36; Luke 22:19-20 (Matthew 26:26-28); Hebrews 8:7-13; Hebrews 9:13-25; Hebrews 12:22-24] 

Herein is the BLESSEDNESS of the RECEIVED SPIRITUAL COVENANT DEED in our REDEMPTION for your perusal in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

The Seven UNCONDITIONAL redemptive covenant deed RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ as we sit with Him at the right hand of the Father God in the heavenly are summed up in these: 

  1.  Power (Authority) – Power of attorney to exercise dominion, victory, more than conquerors and triumph in life and godly living, in place of oppression, fear, intimidation, inferiority complex, cowardice etc. – Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7. Etc.

YOU ARE REDEEMED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE REDEEMED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH! 

Do you know what? I am so spirited, super excited, graciously happy, genuinely rejuvenating and absolutely overwhelmed with unspeakable joy and peace – simply for the daily KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that – Christ had REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the FALL and of the LAW; for the LAW was as a consequence and results of the FALL. This makes my intent in Christ Jesus, more of a reality, awesomely and amazingly driven to POSSESSING OUR POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION. 

Much more, we are REDEEMED from the summed curse EFFECT and STING of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. When you know and understand this, then your only responsibility is to APPROPRIATE, ENACT and ENSURE it by grace through FAITH toward GOD in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 5:1-2. For it is your spiritual – vital and legal RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus, to POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS in Him. Amen. 

In the OLD TESTAMENT, the BLESSING of God was based on CONDITION – that is, CONDITIONALITY; but in the NEW TESTAMENT for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus, God’s BLESSING is GIVEN, based on the DONE work of Christ Jesus for our REDEMPTION. Hence, I am emboldened to say that our REDEMPTION BLESSING – IS A DONE DEED. Just your act of Faith on the believe of the done deed is all you need to do. Even as Abraham BELIEVED the GOSPEL PREACHED to Him and he RECEIVED, so can we RECEIVE ‘WHEN’ not on the ‘IF’, we also BELIEVE as it’s written – 2 Corinthians 4:13, Galatians 3:6-9. Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen. 

Be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION: OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION IS DONE! 

“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 6:13-16. 

There is this very simple reason to CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE the crucifixion and death, the burial and resurrection, and the ascension and enthronement, of our risen Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – it’s for this truth, about our restoration to Dominion that was once lost in EDEN now found by the CROSS for our REDEMPTION. 

“And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST by an ORDINANCE for ever . . . 17 And ye shall OBSERVE the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye OBSERVE this day in your generations by an ORDINANCE for ever . . .24 And ye shall OBSERVE this thing for an ORDINANCE to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the LAND which the Lord will GIVE you, according as he hath PROMISED, that ye shall KEEP this SERVICE. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, WHAT MEAN YE BY THIS SERVICE? 27 that ye shall say, It is the SACRIFICE of the Lord’s PASSOVER, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and DELIVERED our houses. And the people BOWED the head and WORSHIPPED . . .” Exodus 12:14-28. 

The PASSOVER feast was instituted by God, but first celebrated or observed in Egypt. And it’s done by an act of faith and faithfulness toward God for the deliverance, emancipation and redemption of the Israelites from the horrors and bondages that was in the then Egypt [Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36]; and to uniquely set apart as a MARKED-out people and to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE His good and goodness toward His people, indicating the deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised BLESSEDNESS. 

PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a foreshadow of what Christ has done for us now, as the PASSOVER Lamb sacrifice – crucified – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5). 

That’s the essence of the communion services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus’ recall and instituted it again with His disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence, the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen. 

Genuine Bible love can be known. The outworking of genuine Bible love that is known is as enjoined in this Scripture: 

“By this we KNOW love, because He LAID down His life for us. And we also ought to LAY down our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:16. 

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14. 

PASSOVER is expressing the genuine Bible LOVE – Laying your life down for the good of others as Jesus did. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8. 

“Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the PASSOVER must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20. 

“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28 THROUGH FAITH HE KEPT THE PASSOVER, AND THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned” Exodus 11:24-29. 

Further Scriptural Reading Têxt.: Exodus 12:14-28.; Acts 12:1-4; 1 Corinthians 10:16-18; 1 Corinthians 5:6-8; 1 Peter 1:18-21. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a reflection on the significance of the Passover and its connection to the redemption of believers in Christ Jesus. It highlights the importance of remembering and commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which has brought redemption and deliverance to humanity. 

Key Points: 

  1. Passover: a memorial of redemption: The Passover is a memorial of God’s deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, and it foreshadows the redemption of believers in Christ Jesus (Exodus 12:14-28).
  2. Jesus Christ: our Passover Lamb: Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb, sacrificed for our redemption from sin and its bondage (1 Corinthians 5:6-8).
  3. Redemption is a done deed: Our redemption is a done deed, and we are called to remember and commemorate it (Galatians 6:13-16).
  4. New creation in Christ: Believers are a new creation in Christ, and our redemption is a demonstration of God’s love and goodness (2 Corinthians 5:17-19).
  5. Genuine Bible love: Genuine Bible love is demonstrated by laying down one’s life for others, as Jesus did for us (1 John 3:16, John 15:12-14). 

Scriptural Emphases: 

  • “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7). 
  • “This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). 
  • “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us” (1 John 3:16). 

Call to Action: 

Believers are encouraged to: 

  • Remember and commemorate the Passover and Jesus’ sacrifice for our redemption. 
  • Lay down their lives for others, demonstrating genuine Bible love. 
  • Celebrate and observe the Lord’s Supper, remembering Jesus’ sacrifice and redemption. 
  • Live as a new creation in Christ, reflecting God’s love and goodness.

YOU ARE REDEEMED AND BLESSED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE REDEEMED AND BLESSED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH! 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

Do you know what? I am so spirited, super excited, graciously happy, genuinely rejuvenating and absolutely overwhelmed with unspeakable joy and peace – simply for the daily KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that – Christ had REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the FALL and the CURSE of the LAW; for the CURSE of the LAW was a consequence and result of the CURSE of the FALL. This makes my intent in Christ Jesus more of a reality, awesomely and amazingly driven to POSSESSING OUR POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION. 

Much more, we are REDEEMED from the summed curse EFFECT and STING of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. When you know and understand this, then your ONLY responsibility is to APPROPRIATE, ENACT to ENSURE it by GRACE through FAITH toward GOD in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 5:1-2. For it is your spiritual – vital and legal RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus, to POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS in Him. Amen. 

In the OLD TESTAMENT, the BLESSING of God was based on terms of CONDITION – that is, CONDITIONALITY hence it’s of “IF” – Deuteronomy 28: 1-14; but in the NEW TESTAMENT for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus, God’s BLESSING is GIVEN, based on the DONE work of Christ Jesus for our REDEMPTION – Ephesian 1:3; Romans 4. 

I am emboldened to say that our REDEMPTION BLESSING – IS A DONE DEED. That’s why your ACT OF FAITH on the BELIEVE of the DONE DEED is all you need to do. Even as Abraham BELIEVED the GOSPEL PREACHED (Galatians 3:6-9) – to Him and he RECEIVED his BLESSEDNESS, so can we RECEIVE ‘WHEN’ we BELIEVE not on the ‘IF’ we BELIEVE- and now we can say also – we BELIEVE to RECEIVE – as it’s written – 2 Corinthians 4:13. Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen. 

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13 

Be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus to thrive in your REDEMPTION.

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD 

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING! 

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45. 

In course of time, I have seen how some so-called Believers who just want to wake up in the Christian faith with everything readily ready for them at no cost. There are some who will not take a stand in Christ Jesus, but want to get everything readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost; and while there are some too, who are without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead, but thinks it’s their entitlement to have anything at no cost. While in another scenario, there are some Believers who wants to wake up on a Church gathering services day, expecting a perfect church services section that’s readily set, with music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set, and such like, as may be applicable, with no iota of their input. These are the Believers, so-called, who want to belong but want to have a beautiful atmosphere, and gracious environment to enjoy a good outlook service while they are there without a participatory contribution to the desired outcome. 

“NOT FORSAKING our meeting together [as BELIEVERS for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT of SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified.  

And these set of nonchalant Believers who are less or of no concerns to play a role in the act of BELONGING to their set Church gathering place, which they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, are already knowingly and unknowingly hindering their own Blessedness. The concept to see that other Believers, but not them, are to do the needed good setting atmosphere for great gatherings indicates pure ignorance to spiritual understanding; and to watch others working for the common good and goodness that ensures that the environmental demands for great meetings are in place, with everyone participating shows how shortsighted such a group are in the affairs of the Kingdom of God. Everyone in the kingdom is given the measure of faith and grace to enable them participate in the kingdom affairs – and not having one’s hands involved to make good to be done collectively, and with the hearts of BELONGING – it’s already an indicator that such a person or group can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BECOMING in Christ Jesus stead. 

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

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

I want you dear reader to know that the Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made FLESH [HUMAN], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14/Emphasis Mine. 

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead. 

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO-scriptural WORD of God as the basis of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

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

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition. 

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

For many times I have seen Church folks being very skeptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in every way of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship. 

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition. 

And sometimes most of these excuse-givers and absentee Believers give some frivolous reasons that are simply born out of their fear and phobia or that they may lose out if they make such an act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately, some of them, with all their act of being skeptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despise toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literally obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging to His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious, and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus. 

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition. 

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus’ stead is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE nor a DOCTRINAL, nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogmas that’s just there to be known and applied. 

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God. 

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition. 

“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 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 . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP. 

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear and phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14. 

“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 OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30. 

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24. 

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45. 

“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. 

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23. 

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 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. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24. 

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

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 4:1-25

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It! 

“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 Savior, 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” Titus 2:11-13 NIV/Emphasis Mine. 

We live in a time wherein most people have indebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they want to DO God for others, to PLEASE planet earth, and MAKE everyone HAPPY at their inadequacies, to SAVE face from offending and to ENSURE their PRIDE in pain. I say Enough of that COWARDICE ACT of life. 

I am here to let you know that it’s high time to STOP making promises you CAN’T keep so that you can walk with your head up and shoulder high, and on your high heels, in grace and peace of mind. And it’s time to also let you know that it is not a crime or even a sin to say NO to a demand or gesture that wants you to do contrary to your FAITH capacity toward God in Christ Jesus stead; and much more, you don’t need to be daunted when you have to say NO to a demand due to your inability to meet up with the statuesque of others demand and the prevalence in your set environment. Don’t be the people pleaser, be God’s pleaser toward people in order to save your breath, live healthily in an onward and upward trajectory, otherwise when you fault being a people pleaser, you may be gone without remedy. 

You don’t have to put yourself at a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of ability or inability – for you owe nobody an apology for what you can or cannot. Be truthful to yourself in God and be EMBOLDENED to say NO [NAY], to any unwelcome demand, just as you can say also YES [YEA] – in ALL matters of DOING life; this act to say NO and Yes in your own charged control, will help to enhance your today and tomorrow in doing life and living godly without feeling guilty. 

“But ABOVE ALL THINGS, my brethren, SWEAR NOT, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither BY ANY OTHER OATH: but let your YEA be YEA; and your NAY, NAY; lest ye fall into condemnation” James 5:12/Emphasis Mine. 

Lots of people have ended up in debt in order to – save face, please others for no just cause and to fit into the demands of peers and statuesque of colleagues and friends. Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE. Live within your FAITH and PURPOSE capacity. 

It’s a more gracious and graceful sphere, to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in life, if you must find your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help anywhere you can, without guilt and shame at any point. 

May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicate that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody make you or put you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so-called DESTINY HELPER; to be the ANSWERS to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured. Don’t LIVE someone else’s life of FAITH for them – it’s unscriptural. Worst still, is to DO God for them. Our God is a jealous God; He does not share His person and GLORY with any – BE WARN. He’s our HELP and HELPER in all life ramification and not man – so don’t do God to be classed a very good person, for Jesus Christ in humanity even rejected such pressure and acclaimed – ONLY GOD IS GOOD. 

“Behold, God is mine HELPER: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul” Psalms 54:4 

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very present HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1. 

“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” Matthew 19:17 [Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19]. 

My point here is that you don’t DO God or be a godfather or an answer for any to end up being INDEBTED at your own detriment. I’m NOT saying you can’t help out people where you can, but should endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting up with someone else’s dear needs, especially when you know you cannot be the answer to meet up for such needs. You need to LIVE by your own FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters [Habakkuk 2:4]. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38]. 

“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your COMMUNICATION be, YEA, YEA; NAY, NAY: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” Matthew 5:36-37/Emphasis Mine. 

Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else’s ACHES, otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy for not been emboldened to have said NAY – NO, when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH. 

Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in LOVE by GRACE – Romans 5:5. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices. 

BE BOLD TO SAY NO – JUST AS YOU CAN SAY YES – LIVE WITHIN YOUR FAITH – DON’T DO GOD FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE – DO ONLY THE WORD WHILE GOD DO GOD. 

I pray God gives you wisdom in this regard before you find yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES. 

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

Further Scriptural Reading: Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:23-39; Romans 14:23. Romans 5:1-2. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of living a life guided by faith in God, with a focus on saying “no” when necessary and living within one’s faith capacity. 

Key Points: 

  1. Saying “no” is crucial: It’s not embarrassing to say “no” when you can’t fulfill a request or demand. In fact, it’s necessary for living a godly life (Titus 2:11-13).
  2. Live by your own faith: Don’t try to be someone else’s answer or live someone else’s life of faith. You’re accountable for your own decisions and actions (Habakkuk 2:4).
  3. Be truthful and emboldened: Say “no” or “yes” as led by the Holy Spirit, without feeling guilty or ashamed (Matthew 5:36-37).
  4. Don’t react to pressure: Respond to situations by the Word and in love by grace, rather than reacting to pressure or trying to please others (Romans 5:5).
  5. You’re responsible and accountable: Make good choices and prioritise living a life that honours God. 

The Dangers of People-Pleasing: 

  • Trying to do God for others or being a people-pleaser can lead to debt, guilt, and shame. 
  • It’s unscriptural to live someone else’s life of faith or try to be their answer.  
  • Our God is a jealous God who doesn’t share His glory with anyone (Habakkuk 2:4). 

The Solution: 

  • Live within your faith capacity and prioritise saying “no” when necessary. 
  • Focus on doing God’s Word and living a life guided by the Holy Spirit. 
  • Trust that God is your Helper and Refuge, and He’ll provide what’s needed (Psalms 54:4, 46:1). 

Overall, the message encourages believers to live boldly, truthfully, and faithfully, trusting in God’s guidance and provision.

GOD’S GREATER LOVE

GOD’S GREATER LOVE: DELIVERED US AND TRANSLATED US IN CHRIST JESUS!  

  •  God’s Greater Love! What else is greater than this? 

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14. 

  •  Delivered and Translated! What else is greater than this? 

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14. 

“In WHOM we have REDEMPTION through his BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the RICHES of his GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in ALL wisdom and prudence” Ephesians 1:7-8.

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION 

By Leave a Comment

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION: Through Enhanced FELLOWSHIP (Communion – Common Union) To AUTHENTICATE the RELATIONSHIP! 

To have and be in a RELATIONSHIP is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be toward or of God in Christ Jesus, family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such likes. You will notice that though you are in a relationship with all sorts, you are not enjoying the same level of relationship with all. It thus means, it’s not enough to have or be in a RELATIONSHIP until one can actualise it. That is, being able to enact and appropriate it into reality – that’s what makes it functional for you to truly enjoy it. 

In same scenario, having a RELATIONSHIP with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISE this redemption acts and processes in our living life, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE; and unfortunately, that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God. 

Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our redemption. FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum, and Centrepiece jigsaw, to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any – to be lively, spirited, and refreshing, with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace. 

And this is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. 

It’s only through INTIMATE continuous FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) built on our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus, that will enhance us to fully actualise our redemption indeed; outside this knowing and understanding as described already will make one to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all Christ had PAID for one to BE in Him unto God. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35 (Emphasis Mine). 

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And as he PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP), the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine). 

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24 (Emphasis Mine).

Further Scriptural Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:14; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Philemon 6. 

 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of actualising one’s redemption through enhanced FELLOWSHIP (Communion – Common Union) to authenticate one’s relationship with God. 

Key Points: 

  1. Relationship vs. Actualisation: Having a relationship with God is not enough; one must actualise it through fellowship. 
  1. Fellowship is Key: Fellowship is the hub, fulcrum, and centrepiece that makes a relationship with God lively, spirited, and refreshing. 
  1. Redemption in Christ: Believers have a special relationship with God through Christ’s redemption but must enact and appropriate it into reality. 
  1. Vicious Circle to Victory: Without actualizing redemption, life remains a vicious circle; fellowship with God brings victory, triumph, and dominion. 
  1. Faith and Intimacy: Enhanced fellowship with God is an act of faith, requiring intimacy and continuity. 

Call to Action:  

Cultivate a healthy fellowship with God to actualise your redemption and experience the fullness of joy and peace. 

Scriptural Emphases: 

1 Corinthians 1:9 – Called to fellowship with Christ 

Mark 1:35, Luke 9:28-29 – Jesus’ fellowship with God

HAPPY AND BLESSED RESURRECTION AND ENTHRONEMENT SUNDAY 

By Leave a Comment

HAPPY AND BLESSED RESURRECTION AND ENTHRONEMENT SUNDAY: HE’S BOTH RISEN AND ENTHRONED FOREVER MORE! 

“Jesus said unto her, I AM THE RESURRECTION, and THE LIFE: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” John 11:25-26. 

He’s Risen! He’s Enthroned!! The Risen Christ, He’s our Salvation and by Him, through Him and in Him, we are RECONCILED to Father God, and our Relationship and Fellowship with Father God that was lost in Adam, are now restored in glory and in virtue, in the grace. Glory to God in Highest and Hallelujah. May His name forever be praised as we celebrate and commemorate Him today, in the now and always. For by Him, we are blessedly assured and ensured. Our REDEMPTION is now certified and sealed.  

“. . . 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne . . . 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who SITS on the THRONE, who LIVES forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who SITS on the THRONE and WORSHIP Him who LIVES forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created” Revelation 4:1-11. 

Our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus is not just risen, alive and enthroned, He’s the resurrection Himself. And when the resurrection Spirit dwells in you, it makes all the difference. That’s what makes this commemoration awesome and worth celebrating indeed. What about you? 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who ARE in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death . . . 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who RAISED Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who RAISED Christ from the dead will also give LIFE to your MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you” Romans 8:1-11. 

Herein are three reasons why you MUST go to a local Church this morning to celebrate and commemorate the risen and enthroned Christ, who is Saviour and Lord and soon coming king: 

  • Our Sin Forgiven – means Our RELATIONSHIP with God restored. No more sacrifices of the flesh. [Romans 5:1-2, 17-21; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 8:28-30]. 
  • Our Access Guaranteed – means Our acts of FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) with God restored. No more middle failing man anymore. [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10] 
  • Our lost BLESSEDNESS and POSITION in Him, is now restored without conditionality in Christ Jesus. [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14, 26-29]. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For there is one God and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5. 

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12. 

“And WITHOUT CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: God was MANIFESTED in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN by angels, PREACHED among the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up in glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

  2. Restoration in Christ: Through Christ’s resurrection, believers are reconciled to Father God, restoring their relationship and fellowship (Romans 8:1-11). 

Benefits in Christ: 

  • Sin forgiven, relationship with God restored (Romans 5:1-2, 17-21). 
  • Access to God guaranteed, fellowship restored (1 Corinthians 1:9, Romans 8:28).

  • Believers are in Christ, free from condemnation (Romans 8:1-11). 
  • Christ’s enthronement is a reason for worship and celebration (Revelation 4:1-11). 

The message encourages reflection on the significance of Christ’s resurrection and enthronement, urging believers to gather with others to honour Him.
