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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him glorify God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; ONLY LEST THEY SHOULD SUFFER PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision AVAILETH any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:11-16.

Hello Christian Men – WORDS Matters

By Leave a Comment

Hello Christian Men – WORDS Matters: Speaking Gracious WORDS To Your Wife & Other Women There In Your Life!

Are you a godly-hearted man or a childish boy-man when you speak some OUTRAGEOUS words to your wife and other women that are out there about your life sphere. Have you ever thought that WORDS MATTERS and those OUTRAGEOUS, DEMEANING and DEROGATORY words are very much unnecessary no matter the level of elemental things that THE she must have done? For you are the custodian of what you say – be it good or evil, especially as a Christian man. And know for sure, it’s out of the NURSE WORDS in your hearts, that your mouth speaks – good or evil. Luke 6:44-45.

As I picture Jesus Christ this morning and moment, the author and finisher of our FAITH in God, I could recall over and over again in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT how He speaks and answers to many matters that would have made Him to have an outburst. Hebrews 12:2. The graciousness and gracefulness of His choice words calms down matters and send the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay for the good of OTHERS about Him. Even at a very temperamental point of testing of His life, He was gracious to the end. John 14:30; Luke 2:22.

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

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

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

“SMALL HEARTED MINDS TALKS PERSONS, BIG-HEARTED WISE MINDS TALK ISSUES”

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

“For every TREE is KNOWN by his own FRUIT. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A GOOD man out of the GOOD treasure of his HEART bringeth FORTH that which is GOOD; and an EVIL man out of the EVIL treasure of his HEART bringeth FORTH that which is EVIL: for of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 6:44-45.

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

” . . .  7 Likewise, ye husbands, DWELL with them ACCORDING to KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as BEING HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; THAT YOUR PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: BUT CONTRARIWISE BLESSING; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE life, and SEE GOOD days, let him REFRAIN HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL, and HIS LIPS that they SPEAK NO GUILE: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is AGAINST them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

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

PRAYER – Is Believer’s avenue of MINISTERING WORTHILY to the Lord in WORSHIP and SERVING Him ACCEPTABLY and SEEKING His HEAVENLY endorsement in our EARTHLY affairs; and it is the believing one’s PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL – inescapable and supreme purpose – Revelation 4:11.

And there’s nothing as lovely, awesome and amazing in knowing and understanding that your PRAYERS go before God as an INCENSE – a PERFUME, FRAGRANCE and AROMA of GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS to His throne. And that He BREATHS in your acts of MINISTERING to Him in your WORSHIP and SERVICES in PRAYERS; and the resultant effects are VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and LIGHTNING’S, and an EARTHQUAKE. These METAPHORS indicates how powerful, effectual and awesome results accompany your PRAYERS to the Heavenly for your Earthly affairs.

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

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

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

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

HIS LIGHT AT OUR MIDDAY

By Leave a Comment

HIS LIGHT AT OUR MIDDAY: FROM SELF/RELIGIOUS MADE PURPOSE TO GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE!

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

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

When the zealous/zealot religious Saul had an encounter with divinity at MIDDAY, he became Apostle Paul. It took God’s Sun light of righteousness – JESUS CHRIST – to outshine the humanity MIDDAY light at Apostle Paul to take him out of his religious zealot purposeful stand to God’s gracious divine purpose.

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

It’s time to let DIVINITY to SHINE on your earthly affairs if you want to run without sweat and stress. Allowing God’s TIMELESS timeline on your TIMED timeline will ensure you live to fulfill PURPOSE meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE.

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

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

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30.

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

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT

By Leave a Comment

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER IS YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC SUSTAINABILITY!

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes, and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it. The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.

It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life, is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations.

CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER CHARACTER – is defined and applies to the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is judged apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morality.

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS  (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. These spiritual fruit that formulates one’s character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic acts are but are not limited to these:

** Love (Charitable)

** Joy

** Peace

** Longsuffering (Endurance)

** Gentleness

** Goodness (Virtue)

** Faith (Faithfulness)

** Meekness

** Temperance (Self Control)

** Patience

** Brotherly Kindness

** godliness

** Honesty

** Purity

** . . . And such likes – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more . . .

If these things – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one can be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to any, just as Jesus did in humanity – 1 Peter 2:21-25.

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operative. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But only your CHARACTER, makes and keeps you in your THERE after all.

Your CHARACTER – is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance: AGAINST such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.

“And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. . .” 2 Peter 1:5-11.

“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 ON THESE THINGS” Philippians 4:8.

CAN THE CHURCH ARISE – TO THE WORLD SPRINGS EVERYWHERE

By Leave a Comment

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

The world is undergoing a search for self-Worth, Discovery and Answers with a certain generation that are left behind and the new generation springing up with burning quest, that requires or requiring an answer in many and if not, all the problems that have befallen them in terms: LEADERSHIP, PENDAMIC (SICKNESS AND DISEASES), POVERTY,  SPIRITUAL ACTUALISATION, TERRORISM and many such like.

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

The European Union Spring which has resulted in Great Britain’s exit (Brexit), many National chaos of the Union to United States of American Spring with US government as of the time of posting, have indicated the greatest acts of hatred, racism, stigma, terrorism, and wickedness ever known in human and modern times.

Today every corner of the earth cries out for an ANSWER in the various springs in each continent in spite of the various actions of various groups united under the umbrella of the #UNITEDNATION.

May I say that until leaders of all groups begins to do the reassessment and address these crises from God’s point of view, I can’t see any acts of human endeavours, financial expenditures, humanitarian demands or such like efforts, that will ANSWER to the FULNESS the QUEST, THIRST and HUNGER and CONFUSION in the human search for Self-Worth and Discovery of been a being.

Simply because, the human spirit is in crises seeking for an ANSWER that comes only from the creator; but men are only seeking an answer from the human leadership who can’t fathom it, just as they couldn’t and haven’t’ – the economic financial meltdown  and pandemic that’s now a plague in nations today. This is why every efforts today keep failing, because – its a human tragedy and it requires first a DIVINE ANSWER before a PHYSICAL result can take place.

Oh Church arise! there’s work to be done, no folding of hands until our nations are healed as in the Bible days of old – 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

THINK ABOUT IT, IF YOU ARE READING THIS.

RESENTMENT

RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife: LOVE And PRAY For Those Whom – You Tend To RESENT And Who RESENT You!

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY; and a mixture of Disappointment, Anger, Wrath and Fear. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE and PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you.

It’s a gracious, beautiful and colourful lesson heard and Learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Family, Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership and such like.

I can boldly affirm that it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMON ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. Matthew 5:43-48.

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE and PRAY for the one you ARE RESENTING or RESENTING you. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and PRAY for, while you BELIEVE and expect God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself; and in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures do put a demand on us, in order to be the God’s Disciple in Christ Jesus stead. John 13:34-35.

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible for yourself and your good in Christ Jesus stead.

Set yourself FREE with LOVE and PRAYER – it’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT, at least for your own innermost peace and quietness. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable for yourself. I pray you know and understand that LOVE and PRAYERS will work for you to deal with RESENTMENT today and always.

And BLESSED regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you BEGIN to enjoy the needed and resultant PEACE born for acting DIFFERENCE instead of INDIFFERENCE from the norm – “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’ – the golden rule.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, and HATE THINE ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what REWARD have ye? do not even the PUBLICANS the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your BRETHREN only, what do ye more than others? do not even the PUBLICANS so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature)” Matthew 5:43-47 (Emphasis Mine).

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto WRATH: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:19-21.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“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.

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

IN A DARKENED WORLD: YOU ARE THE LIGHT

By Leave a Comment

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

Light will always be superior to darkness. The more darkened the brighter the light glows.

The strength of light is known in a darkened atmosphere. Light will always outshine darkness at any measure. Light will always overpower darkness – John 1:5.

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

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

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

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

Blessed regards.

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

“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.

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN OF LIFE: in thy LIGHT shall we see LIGHT” Psalms 36:9.

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