DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE in your life, you need to know, you are a covenant child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of the world – Satan or cohorts – ways to MAKE it in life. You are in the world, but not of the world’s ways of doing life. You are of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH or CROOKED places of your life by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God on that MATTER concerning you, based on His HOLY WORD by the Blessed Holy Spirit, you will make your way to PROSPERITY and have GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you. Hence I say, be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5.

In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-14, Egypt stands for one’s state of unbelief, backsliding, famine, hunger, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such likes.

It thus mea that you don’t need to FAKE it to make it. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE and you will Become as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he act on his covenant will of God concerning him.

If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the words of grace and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up, then go and become – Genesis 26:12-14.

May you experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“AND THERE WAS A FAMINE IN THE LAND, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, GO NOT DOWN INTO EGYPT; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws . . . 12 THEN ISAAC SOWED IN THAT LAND, and received in the same year an HUNDREDFOLD: and the Lord BLESSED him. 13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he BECAME very great: 14 for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“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 10:35-39.

“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

THE STORY OF TWO WOLVES: THE CHOICE IS YOURS – THE ONE YOU FEED!

A dear brother and friend sent me this THOUGHT PONDERING and awakening writ in picture.

I hope you make a sense out of it for your own good for today and tomorrow as it’s written also in the scripture:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK (FEED, MEDITATE, PONDER) ON THESE THINGS” Philippians 4:8 EMPHASIS MINE.

“Finally, believers, whatever is TRUE, whatever is Honorable and worthy of RESPECT, whatever is RIGHT and CONFIRMED by God’s word, whatever is PURE and WHOLESOME, whatever is LOVELY and brings PEACE, whatever is ADMIRABLE and of GOOD REPUTE; if there is any EXCELLENCE, if there is anything WORTHY of PRAISE, THINK CONTINUALLY on these things [CENTER your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]” Philippians 4:8 AMPLIFIED.

GENUINE LOVE

GENUINE LOVE: KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS!

Genuine Love, which is of God – KNOWS NO FEAR – for as God is in love in Christ Jesus – so are we in His world in this world 1 John 4:17-18.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

Love is gracious and nobody ever reject genuine love when it shows up. Not even the Devil if he has an opportunity to be shown which is unfortunately not available to his and cohorts reach.

HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE? ARE YOU NOW AFRAID OF LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE? That shouldn’t be, for GENUINE love which is of God in human HEARTS, and not in the human HEAD, have – no fear, intimidation, timidity, cowardice, wickedness, and evil in it, except there’s PERVERSION. For it is when the PURPOSE of a thing is misappropriated that ABUSE and PERVERSION sets in. And that’s not enough to be afraid of living and walking in love.

The Genuine – LOVE OF GOD – is possible and it’s here: it’s graciously and lavishly shared abroad in our HEARTS (spirit being) by the Holy Spirit is given to us.

“. . . the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

Perfect love, meaning, genuine love will cast out the spirit of fear, cowardice, and inferiority complex of all forms of perversion. God is love, He can’t offer or make you live and walk in fear when you are living and walking in His love. Where genuine love is – shows up, there is no room for lust or hate or selfishness or greed, or any form of perversion.

JUST KNOW THIS – GENUINE LOVE OF GOD – KNOWS NO FEAR – FOR AS HE’S IN LOVE – SO ARE WE IN HIS WORLD OF LOVE, IN THIS WORLD.

Checklist yourself today, IF IN FEAR, CAST IT OUT in God’s love. And Be FREE and be BLESSED.

“Herein is our love MADE PERFECT, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but perfect love casts out fear, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.

“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) love drives out FEAR, because Fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is AFRAID [of God’s judgment] is not PERFECTED in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).

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

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

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT MAN) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

OCCUPY TILL I COME

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME: EARTHLY USEFUL AND HEAVENLY MINDED – BY LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this, we can Occupy In Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life, and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired, and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence, it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogma. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:

*1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for family bonding and wellbeing.

*2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

*3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God’s kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self), etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavors. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).

Let’s not just say we have love, let’s LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.

IT’S HIGH TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST: THE CHOICE OF – BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

Obedience to the heavenly mandate has a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men to applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished, by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment?

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS-driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment? Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8).

Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s – PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE,  that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; JESUS OF NAZARETH, A MAN APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8.

“. . . Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which PHILIP SPAKE, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19.

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“For REBELLION is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:23.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

RECEIVE POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME!

MONTH JUNE 2019: RECEIVE POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME!

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

WHAT’S GOD’S POWER? – The enabling of God to FUNCTION and PERFORM in Life and Godliness. WHAT’S GOD’S GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME in Life and Godliness.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not magical or curious acts, neither is it mystical, occultic nor sorcery and demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes.

Am sharing here about the enabling of God that makes and positions one with daring spirit in life, to function by God’s Spirit and might, out of one’s inability and weakness in order to fulfill purpose in LIFE and GODLINESS – Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4.

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His Stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation, and empowerment to write more than half of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attain the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE though being a learned Lawyer under Sanhedrin, circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he heard from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTIONAL.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, if you want God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE – your ABILITY is zero!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Though I might also have confidence in the flesh (ABILITY). If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh (ABILITY), I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, AND DO COUNT THEM but DUNG, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” Philippians 3:4-8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Emphasis Mine).

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“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” John 1:12.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might . . .19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:10, 19.

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 but their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD: HAVE MERCY ON US THEY PRAYED – AND THEY RECEIVED!

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, THE FATHER OF MERCIES, and the God of all comfort” 2 Corinthians 1:3.

Two blind men seek after Father God’s MERCY in Christ Jesus for them to receive their sight. They followed Him all the way to the house He was visiting – what a determination for God’s MERCY by these two blind person’s. I supposed they might have seen Jesus earlier and He did nothing, probably passed them bye. They REFUSED to take a NO for an ANSWER, then decided to APPEAL to Him on His nature and character, which speaks of His personality in PRAYERS, by saying only – “HAVE MERCY ON US” Matthew 9:27-31. There wasn’t any special night vigil or special prayer meeting or any obeying or following some of the keys or step to breakthrough as religion and denomination has taught us to follow in order to ensure one receive the most desired helped from God. All that the two blind men were to do was to BELIEVE on Him who shows MERCY for MERCY, as He’s the Father of all MERCIES. And when they did, against all odds for these blind men, they BECAME what they BELIEVE as it was said – ACCORDINGLY TO YOUR FAITH, BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND EXPECTED as a consequence of God’s MERCY.

Today, Jesus is the WORD. And you must come to the reality in knowing that what Jesus would have done for you literally if He was physically present here in humanity is what the WORD is meant to do for you today. Just as the two blind men where specific of what they want on the MERCY of God, they followed Him, meaning the word and they received their desired answers accordingly.

I want you to know that there’s nothing to stop you in having and becoming in Christ Jesus that earnest desire and expectations of your hearts. Our Father God of MERCIES is here with us. Just lift your voice to Him to “HAVE MERCY ON YOU” in all sincerity in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are NOT CONSUMED, because his COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT” Lamentations 3:22.

“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. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31.

“. . . 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. 16 SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth . . . 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved . . .” Romans 9:1-33.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: GOD’S SALVATION PLAN – THE DESERT LAND SHALL SERVE HIM!

 IT’S AN AWAKENING MOMENT AGAIN – OUR REVIVAL TIME. SALVATION IS COME AND COMING. And assuredly and certainly – The DESERT – REMOTE NATIONS SHALL SERVE THE LORD GOD – because the eternal speaking Blood of Jesus Christ, which ATONES for all human Salvation, it’s in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS and it belongs to them too.

God is interested in both the CITY CHURCH as well as the DESERT – VILLAGE – CHURCH. Hence He’s awakening all in these anchor leg toward His coming.

God’s SALVATION plan is the same for all in His HEAVENLY MANDATE commission. In advancing the kingdom cause of God and in keeping the enemy at bay, all must be included irrespective of status, color, race, gender, and geographical location.

And I am emboldened to say that despite what’s going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES as well as done in the CITY PLACES – for our God is not only the God of JEWS but also of the GENTILES World. And Gentile world means every other besides the Jews. He’s the God of all – for in Him we all LIVE, MOVE and HAVE our being. (Acts 17:24-31; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Romans 10:11-13; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Colossians 3:10-11; 1 Corinthians 1:21-24; Romans 1:16-17; Acts 20:20-21; Galatians 3:25-29).

Be it known that, no matter the confusion in the world today, God has an end plan in it, for the liberation of human life without drones, guns, and bombs; and it also goes beyond humanitarian aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places including the DESERT landscape as we see event unfolding day by day.

Be it known also, as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan in His BLESSEDNESS is coming to pass. If you believe say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus stead.

The experiences of Evangelist Philip in Acts 8, to be used of God in Samaria to establish a CITY CHURCH of multitudes and later on a DESERT CHURCH of one member, can only be possible with one who is following and in obedience in – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE.

How many today can make such decisions in their life from the multitudes mandate to a single soul mandate. Hence obeying the heavenly mandate will only be possible by God for the desert places to seek after Him too as in the city places.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“The WILDERNESS and the SOLITARY PLACE shall be GLAD for them; and the DESERT shall rejoice, and BLOSSOM as the rose . . .” Isaiah 35.

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in ALL THE WORLD for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the END come” Matthew 24:14.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

“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 anything, 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 . . .” Acts 17:24-31.

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law. 29 IS HE THE GOD OF THE JEWS ONLY? IS HE NOT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith” Romans 3:28-30.

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

“But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 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 3:25-29.

“And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is neither GREEK nor JEW, CIRCUMCISION nor UNCIRCUMCISION, BARBARIAN, SCYTHIAN, BOND NOR FREE: but Christ is ALL, and in ALL” Colossians 3:10-11.

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, and the GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:21-24.

“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.

“Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

SINGING THE SONGS OF TRIUMPH: IT’S YOUR SONGS OF REDEMPTION!

SINGING THE SONGS OF TRIUMPH: IT’S YOUR SONGS OF REDEMPTION!

May You Sing A New Song – In Month June. The Redeemed sang a new SONG – the New CREATION song. The SONG of TRIUMPH. No more SONGS of failure, sickness, disease, setbacks, frustrations, curses, defeat, oppression, unbelief, and such likes. They rather SANG the SONGS of royalty and priesthood that they BECAME in Christ Jesus, affordable to all across every tribe, tongue, kindred, and nation – color and race.

The Church is you, the TRIUMPHANT CHURCH, the NEW CREATION, the REDEEMED of God. You are by the Redemption did, deed of Christ Jesus, to live TRIUMPHANTLY in every way and every place. No more LIMITS. You are DELIVERED and RESCUED from the POWER of DARKNESS and had been TRANSFERRED and TRANSLATED not REFURBISHED, into God’s OWN.

YOU ARE GOD’S OWN. SING A NEW SONG.

For Moses and Marian, the Sister leads the song of the glorious TRIUMPH out of the bondage and hardship of their taskmaster in Egypt. They sang their Redemption songs with graciousness and gracefulness. They dance and celebrated their redemption. Why not you of today, born of God and filled with the enabling and indwelling Holy Spirit which they wish and earnestly desired – Hebrews 11:32-40. I guess they would have danced daily and more.

What sorts of SONGS are you into as a REDEEM child of God. Is it the FEARFUL HALLELUJAH songs, the COMPLAIN-HALLELUJAH songs, the TRANSFER-AGGRESSION songs, the UNFORGIVING and UNFORGETTABLE  Songs, the REGRETTABLE songs, the SELF AFFLICTED Songs, the FEAR-PHOBIAS songs, the songs filled up with CURSES, the BLAME OTHERS songs, the VICTIM songs, the DEPRESSING songs, the NEVER do well songs, the SELF DEFEAT songs, the SELF-PITY songs, the RACE CARD songs and other such likes songs.

God wants you, the REDEEMED you, to know that it’s time to sing the REDEMPTION Songs of TRIUMPH in all our declaration, proclamation, announcing, confessions, professing and such likes. Songs from our lips now need to be that of the glorious TRIUMPH from the GRIPS and POWER of darkness into the realm of our dear Savior and Lord, Christ Jesus. It’s time to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE our REDEMPTION DEED in Life and Godly Living.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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.

“And they SANG a NEW SONG [of GLORIOUS REDEMPTION], saying, “Worthy and deserving are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You PURCHASED people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 “You have MADE them to be a kingdom [of royal subjects] and priests to our God; and they will reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10 (Amplified).

“Then SANG MOSES AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THIS SONG UNTO THE LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 

  1. The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
  1. The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
  1. Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
  1. The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. 
  1. Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
  1. And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
  1. And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
  1. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
  1. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
  1. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
  1. Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
  1. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. 
  1. The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 
  1. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. 
  1. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
  1. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
  1. The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. 
  1. For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
  1. And MIRIAM THE PROPHETESS, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; AND ALL THE WOMEN WENT OUT AFTER HER WITH TIMBRELS AND WITH DANCES. 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea” Exodus 15:1-20.
