By Leave a Comment

THE “PRAYER WALL” STAND: CREATE YOUR PRAYER WALL STAND – TO TURN PAIN INTO GAIN AND UNSPEAKABLE JOY! 

“Hezekiah was SICK unto DEATH. . . Hezekiah TURNED his face toward THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord . . . Then came THE WORD of the Lord . . . to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have HEARD thy PRAYER, I have SEEN thy TEARS: behold, I will ADD unto thy days fifteen years . . .” Isaiah 38 [2 Kings 20:1-11; 2 Chronicles 32:24-30]. 

Create your own PRAYER WALL today, and you will see the beginning of the end of THOSE circumstances and situations that have set you panicking, kept you in anxiousness, and have given you the fainting spirit of hopelessness. 

The PRAYER WALL stand is your avenue to access God’s will and to receive from Him the PEACE that transcends all human sense, knowledge and understanding in your hearts and minds, as it is written: 
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 

“Be ANXIOUS for NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your REQUESTS be made known to God; 7 and the PEACE of God, which SURPASSES all understanding, will GUARD your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7. 

Therefore, turn ON your PRAYER WALL in grace, as an offence and defence today, 
against everything that is causing or has caused you PAIN, and your GAIN and UNSPEAKABLE JOY will spring forth in life and grace in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

I want you to know that there is a miracle in your PRAYER WALL stand in life and grace. 

Beloved friend, just know that you can truly ACCESS God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, 
as you take your stand in grace through faith on your PRAYER WALL stand, as it is written:  

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE in which we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

I do pray for you today, that as you resolve to have your PRAYER WALL, you will be able to access God and receive your BLESSEDNESS in Him, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Blessed regards – the BELOVED of God!  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Hezekiah was SICK unto DEATH. . . Hezekiah TURNED his face toward THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord . . . Then came THE WORD of the Lord . . . to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have HEARD thy PRAYER, I have SEEN thy TEARS: behold, I will ADD unto thy days fifteen years . . .” Isaiah 38 (2 Kings 20:1-11; 2 Chronicles 32:24-30). 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT” Luke 18:1. 

“If thou FAINT in the day of ADVERSITY, thy STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10. 

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, FAINTETH not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth POWER to the FAINT; and to them that have NO might he INCREASETH strength. 30 Even the youths shall FAINT and be WEARY, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall MOUNT UP with wings as eagles; they shall RUN, and not be WEARY; and they shall WALK, and not FAINT” Isaiah 40:28-31. 

“If the CLOUDS ARE FULL OF RAIN, They EMPTY themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north, In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. 4 He who OBSERVES the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap” Ecclesiastes 11:3-4. 

“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he PRAYED earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he PRAYED again, and the heaven GAVE rain, and the earth produced its fruit” James 5:17-18.  

SUMMARY: 
The central message is this: Your PRAYER WALL STAND is the place where you turn to God in faith. It turns PAIN into GAIN, brings PEACE in anxious times, and positions you to receive God’s BLESSEDNESS and UNSPEAKABLE JOY in Christ Jesus. 

 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE BIBLICAL PATTERN: HEZEKIAH’S PRAYER WALL 

Isaiah 38 
“Hezekiah was sick unto death. Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord. Then came the word of the Lord to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.”

Key truth: When Hezekiah faced death, he turned to THE WALL and prayed. God heard, saw his tears, and answered with life and added years. Your PRAYER WALL is that same place of turning, where God hears and responds. 

  1. WHY YOU NEED A PRAYER WALL TODAY

Create your own PRAYER WALL today, and you will see the beginning of the end of those circumstances and situations that have set you panicking, kept you in anxiousness, and have given you the fainting spirit of hopelessness. 

The PRAYER WALL stand is your avenue to access God’s will and to receive from Him the PEACE that transcends all human sense, knowledge and understanding. 

Philippians 4:6-7 
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” 

  1. THE CALL TO ACTION: TURN IT ON 

Therefore, turn ON your PRAYER WALL in grace, as an offence and defence today, against everything that is causing or has caused you PAIN, and your GAIN and UNSPEAKABLE JOY will spring forth in life and grace in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

There is a miracle in your PRAYER WALL stand. As you stand in grace through faith, you can truly ACCESS God’s BLESSEDNESS. 

Romans 5:1-2 
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” 

  1. SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER
    Perseverance in Prayer 
    Luke 18:1 
    “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” 
    Strength in Adversity 
    Proverbs 24:10 
    “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” 
    God Renew Strength 
    Isaiah 40:28-31 
    “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” 
    Do Not Be Paralysed by Circumstances 
    Ecclesiastes 11:3-4 
    “If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. He who observeth the wind will not sow, and he who regardeth the clouds will not reap.” 
    Earnest Prayer Produces Results 
    James 5:17-18 
    “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.” 
  1. FINAL PRAYER AND BLESSING

I do pray for you today, that as you resolve to have your PRAYER WALL, you will be able to access God and receive your BLESSEDNESS in Him, in Christ Jesus. Amen. 
Blessed regards – the BELOVED of God! 

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

The PRAYER WALL STAND is your place of faith and prayer where, like Hezekiah and Elijah, you access God, receive His peace, gain strength not to faint, and see PAIN turned into GAIN and UNSPEAKABLE JOY.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD! 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity, position you in life and grace far beyond human compression and limitations, and give you such wisdom to innovate, create and initiate good for human consumption. It will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity, and much more besides, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

And it is gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the central person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God and THE WISDOM of God to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make-up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus’ stead, as it is written. Amen. 

“For the PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 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 1:18-24. 

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY.

“And when he had CALLED unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them POWER AGAINST unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbæus, whose surname was Thaddæus; 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus SENT FORTH, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give . . . .” Matthew 10:1-42. 

  • POWER TO “HEAL SICKNESSES AND DISEASES AND CAST OUT DEVILS” IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

SUMMARY: 
This message is a charge for the Month of August. The core idea is that God’s enabling power is what dignifies, elevates and establishes a believer’s life. The word “AUGUST” is used both as the month and as a verb meaning to inspire, to be revered, admired, majestic, eminent and grand.

Reference: 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 
Jesus is the central person of the Gospel and through Him God defines the make-up of the Church. 

  1. The Meaning of “August”

In line with the month theme, August means to inspire, to reverence, to admire, to uphold as supreme, to be majestic, venerable, eminent and grand. 
So August is to be a month where you are dignified, revered, admired and eminent — as you are enabled by God’s power. 

  1. What God’s Enabling Power Does

God’s enabling power will augment you beyond human capacity and position you in life and grace far beyond human limitations. It gives wisdom to innovate, create and initiate good for human consumption, and makes you a true witness of God’s truth.

Reference: Luke 10:19 

Power with great grace 
“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all”

ENABLING DILIGENCE IN DOING LIFE

By Leave a Comment

ENABLING DILIGENCE IN DOING LIFE: BEING STEADFASTLY [BEING SMARTLY] AND CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT! 

“Do you see a man DILIGENT and SKILLFUL in his business? He will STAND before KINGS [HONOUR, GLORY, DIGNITY, CROWN]; he will not STAND before OBSCURE [MEAN, UNPRODUCTIVE, FAILED, FAILURE, SLUGGARD] men” Proverbs 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

Being DILIGENT is to be STEADFAST — to be WISE and to be CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT over time, in any matter, IN CONTEXT, to earn the spotlight that is so much desired. 

And it is simply for this: 
A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS. 
When, in the application of life, you become inconsistent in what you do, you lose the essence of BECOMING what you ARE and what you are INTENDED to BE in that CONTEXT. 

This happens in every way, in every work of doing life and living godly. 

Show me a person who is DILIGENT — steadfast, earnest, consistent, wise, steady and work-focused over time — and who believes in what they are doing, and I will show you the reasons why that person has succeeded, or is succeeding, and is making good progress. 

Why? 
Because such a person is not merely surviving. 
They are thriving and accomplishing with results that are meaningful and purposeful in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

God rewards diligence, and it is a hallmark that attracts the heavenly outpouring to our earthly affairs.  

“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 11:6/AMPLIFIED. 

I pray you will not intermingle and interweave your life with those who only TALK THE TALK and cannot WALK THE WALK, because they are not DILIGENT to see their beliefs come to reality, whilst they are desperate, in haste to “become”, yet without the path of diligence to walk on what they talk.  

“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of HOPE unto the END: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12. 

I pray you receive every grace, wisdom and speed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in the context of diligence in God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Do you see a man DILIGENT and SKILLFUL in his business? He will STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, GLORY, DIGNITY, CROWN); he will not STAND before OBSCURE (MEAN, UNPRODUCTIVE, FAILED, FAILURE, SLUGGARD) men” Proverbs 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

“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 11:6/AMPLIFIED. 

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATE] HIS LAND SHALL HAVE PLENTY OF BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will transgress. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH HATH AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22. 

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATE] HIS LAND shall be SATISFIED WITH BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is VOID of understanding” Proverbs 12:11. 

SUMMARY: 
The central message is this: God rewards diligence. Diligence positions you for honour, fruitfulness, and God’s blessedness in Christ Jesus.  

KEY POINTS: 

  1. WHAT DILIGENCE IS

To be DILIGENT is to be STEADFAST, to be WISE, and to be CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT over time, in any matter, in the right context. 
It is the opposite of being a rolling stone. “A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS.” 
When we are inconsistent in the application of life, we lose the essence of becoming what we are and what we are intended to be. 

  1. THE REWARD OF DILIGENCE

Proverbs 22:29 
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” 

Diligence and skill take you out of obscurity and place you before people of honour, glory, and dignity.  

  1. DILIGENCE MUST BE ROOTED IN FAITH

Hebrews 11:6 
“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.” 

You cannot please God with lazy faith. He rewards those who earnestly and diligently seek Him.  

  1. THE CONTRAST: DILIGENCE VS HASTE AND SLOTH

Proverbs 28:19-22 
“He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.” 

Proverbs 12:11 
“He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.” 

Application: Cultivate your work. Be faithful. Avoid shortcuts and vain associations. Faithfulness produces blessing. Haste produces compromise and lack. 

  1. THE CHARGE TO PERSEVERE

Hebrews 6:11-12 
“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” 

Diligence must continue to the end. It is through faith and patience that we inherit the promises.  

  1. GUARD YOUR COMPANY

I pray you will not intermingle and interweave your life with those who only TALK THE TALK and cannot WALK THE WALK, because they are not diligent to see their beliefs come to reality, whilst they are desperate, in haste to “become”, yet without the path of diligence to walk on what they talk. 

  1. THE OUTCOME

Show me a person who is diligent — steadfast, earnest, consistent, wise, steady and work-focused over time — and who believes in what they are doing, and I will show you someone who is not merely surviving. 
They are thriving and accomplishing with results that are meaningful and purposeful in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S EAGLES’ FLIGHT 

By Leave a Comment

AUGUST YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S EAGLES’ FLIGHT: LET GOD BEAR YOU TO GLIDE ON EAGLES’ WINGS IN HIS BLESSEDNESS! 

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4. 

Let God BEAR you and LEAD you on EAGLES’ FLIGHT as He BORE and LED His people before now. 
He led them from all oppression and brought them to possess their possessions in Him. 

Will you let God do the same today in your life? 
Will you let God GLIDE you into ALL that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead?  

“Also I BROUGHT you up FROM the land of Egypt, and LED you forty years through the wilderness, to POSSESS the land of the Amorite” Amos 2:10. 

“And He BROUGHT His people SAFELY out from Egypt, LOADED with silver and gold; there were NO sick and FEEBLE folk among them then. 38 Egypt was GLAD when they were gone, for the DREAD of them was GREAT” Psalms 105:37-38/LB. 

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as His DIVINE POWER hath given unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of Him that hath CALLED us to GLORY and VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us EXCEEDING GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4. 

When God BEARS you to GLIDE on EAGLES’ FLIGHT by the Holy Spirit, there will be a LIFTING, and the TRUTH will be this and more — you will cease from all UNPRODUCTIVE and SLOTHFUL living; and you will be kept from the SURVIVAL and FAILURE mentality realm; and God will cause you to move into the realm wherein you are PRODUCTIVE and results-oriented; and you can THRIVE then in life and grace effortlessly; and you will be EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of grace without self-struggle; and all these aforementioned and more will become yours in grace — just because you let God be in you and BEAR you to GLIDE in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead.  Amen.  

“And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. FOR ALL THINGS ARE YOURS; 22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; ALL are yours; 23 and ye ARE Christ’s; and Christ is God’s” 1 Corinthians 3:20-23. 

When God BEARS you on EAGLES’ FLIGHT, He leads you through all the wilderness of life as He led Jesus by the Holy Spirit [Luke 4:1-22] to do life and fulfil purpose in humanity; 
and as He also led the children of Israel with His power to win their days and years with Him in their causes in humanity. [Deuteronomy 8:1-9; Deuteronomy 29:1-9; Amos 2:10]. 

Therefore, AUGUST your day, month and year on God’s EAGLES’ FLIGHT in order to enjoy His gracious lead in all the wilderness of life, that you may find yourself while fulfilling His cause and purpose concerning you in LIFE and GRACE.  

“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” Romans 8:28. 

“In whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of Him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the counsel of His own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12. 

Enjoy God’s enabling as you let Him glide and bare you under His winds of creativity by the Holy Spirit, the wind, for the eagle flights and creativity [John 3:8; Genesis 1:2]. 

Blessed regards in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK – REFLECT! 

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“As an eagle STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH ABROAD her wings, taketh them, BEARETH them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did LEAD him, and there was no STRANGE god with him. 13 He MADE him RIDE on the HIGH PLACES of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he MADE him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14. 

“All the COMMANDMENTS which I COMMAND thee this day shall ye OBSERVE to do, that ye may LIVE, and MULTIPLY, and GO in and POSSESS the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt REMEMBER ALL THE WAY which the Lord thy God LED THEE THESE FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS, to HUMBLE thee, and to PROVE thee, to KNOW what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he HUMBLED thee, and SUFFERED thee to hunger, and FED thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; THAT HE MIGHT MAKE THEE KNOW THAT MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY BREAD ONLY, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE LORD DOTH MAN LIVE. 4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, TO WALK IN HIS WAYS, AND TO FEAR HIM. 7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a GOOD land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; 9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass” Deuteronomy 8:1-9. 

“These are THE WORDS of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; 3 the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 4 yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 5 And I have LED YOU FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. 6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them: 8 and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh. 9 KEEP therefore THE WORDS of this covenant, and DO them, that ye may PROSPER in all that ye do” Deuteronomy 29:1-9. 

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4.

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit” John 3:6-8. 

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” Genesis 1:1-3.  

SUMMARY: 
This is a prophetic charge to surrender to be BORNE and LED by God on EAGLES’ FLIGHT — so you can GLIDE above striving and enter His BLESSEDNESS for purpose, possession and productivity.

  • He LED Jesus by the Spirit into the wilderness to fulfil purpose Luke 4:1-22 
  1. THE RESULT OF BEING BORNE: LIFTING INTO A NEW REALM

When God BEARS you to GLIDE by the Holy Spirit: 

  • You cease from UNPRODUCTIVE and SLOTHFUL living 
  • You are kept from the SURVIVAL and FAILURE mentality 
  • You move into a PRODUCTIVE and results-oriented realm 
  • You THRIVE in life and grace effortlessly 
  • You are EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of grace without self-struggle 

This happens because God gives us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS through the knowledge of Him 2 Peter 1:2-4 
And: “FOR ALL THINGS ARE YOURS… and ye ARE Christ’s; and Christ is God’s” 1 Corinthians 3:20-23

You enjoy His gracious lead in the wilderness of life 

You find yourself while fulfilling His cause and purpose concerning you in LIFE and GRACE

TARRY ON THE NEW WINE UNTIL YOU GET DRUNK 

By Leave a Comment

TARRY ON THE NEW WINE UNTIL YOU GET DRUNK – [BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT]: IT ENSURES, ASSURES AND REFRESHES – [TO BUILD UP] – YOUR FAITH-BEING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

It’s time to TARRY for the NEW WINE- the blessed HOLY SPIRIT – until you are DRUNK, by PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT. For the process ENSURES, ASSURES, REFRESHES and BUILDS UP your faith-being in Christ Jesus’ stead. GIVE IT A GO TODAY and NOW – you will NEVER REGRET the act in GRACE. 

“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 THEY THAT TARRY LONG AT THE WINE; they that go to seek MIXED WINE. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. . .” Proverbs 23:29-35. 

WHEN LAST did you get so DRUNK in the SPIRIT and STAGGERED and PRAYED in the HOLY SPIRIT beyond your wildest IMAGINATION and COMPREHENSION – that you, and probably those around, might have thought you’ve GONE DRUNK? But NOT as in the world that leads to WOES, SORROWS, CONTENTIONS, BABBLINGS and such like. NO – but THAT DRUNK which the HOLY SPIRIT rules and controls unto ALL GOOD WORKS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen! I KNOW THE FEELING – it’s a realm WORTH finding yourself in. A realm and sphere of TARRYING IN GOD’S DIVINE PRESENCE without bothering about what God will do. This even FAR BEYOND what Moses experienced in the CLOUD, and the Apostles experienced in the TRANSFIGURATION PRAYERS with Jesus Christ in humanity. 

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE . . .12 And they were all AMAZED, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others MOCKING said, These men are FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 1:1-13. 

“And do not get DRUNK with ORDINARY WINE, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and STIMULATED and DRUNK with the [Holy] Spirit” Ephesians 5:18/Emphasis Mine. 

I know that precious items as SILVER, GOLD, DIAMOND, PLATINUM and OTHER PRECIOUS PEARL STONES of HIGH-END QUALITY are EXPENSIVE – and the DEMAND comes at HUGE COST. All simply because they are RARE to find and NOT at the surface level to pick up like some stones – sand used in BUILDING HOUSES, MOULDING BRICKS, ROAD CONSTRUCTION, etc. And individuals and corporations that are into MINING such PRECIOUS STONES do it THROUGH THE MUD. They DIG into the DEEPEST of the EARTH’S SOIL; and the process may cause the MINERS to be there for DAYS, WEEKS, or YEARS – just searching and hoping to get these HIGH-END RARE ITEMS. And however LONG it takes, they know FULL WELL that once a PIECE of such items is FOUND, they will OVERCOME the COST and TIME LAG of EXPLORATION and EXPEDITION. They will be ENRICHED BEYOND MEASURE, to forget the thriving pains of achieving the RESULTS in this sphere to obtain the rare items. That’s the process – the earnest principle of dedication and commitment, responsibility and accountability – the devotion and craving for material things that perish. How much more then shall WE be so PRINCIPLED concerning the ETERNAL TREASURE that perishes not in grace. 

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found one PEARL of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46. 

“Lay NOT UP for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART be also” Matthew 6:19-21 [Luke 12:33-34]. 

And MANY TIMES, I see some BELIEVERS in Christ Jesus’ stead who WANT GREAT THINGS from FATHER GOD to enable them obtain graciousness and gracefulness in their life path. And there are SOME who WANT Him to ORDER their STEPS ARIGHT – but they DON’T WANT to TARRY in His PRESENCE in order to OBTAIN the needed grace, wisdom, speed and sense of direction for their request, to make them have a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life in godliness. For it’s in God’s presence that overwhelming joy springs out to ensure and assure the right standing to do life in pleasure and not in pressure. More so, to enjoy the abounding, glowing, refreshing and rejuvenating well-being – until the day dawns in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen! 

“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. 

“But THE PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING light, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18. 

A good living example for all times is found in the humanity demonstration of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Though He is the SON OF GOD, He subjected Himself to obedience and tarried in Father God’s presence while in humanity to fulfil the divine purpose for mankind. This He did AT MANY TIMES to GAIN the NEEDED INSTRUCTIONS, POWER and SENSE OF DIRECTION on every PIECE of His JOURNEY in HUMANITY – in order to FULFIL GOD’S CAUSE and PURPOSE in His LIFE for HUMAN REDEMPTION. Take time to search these Scriptures and learn of Him: [Mark 1:35; Luke 4:1-22; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 9:28-36; John 18:37; 1 John 3:8]. 

In the world, most WISE PEOPLE don’t just DRINK with the intent to get DRUNK. They do their best to drink responsibly and accountably, and KNOW when to QUIT and WALK AWAY from the BOTTLES – in order to AVOID being DRUNK, STAGGERING, and GOING OFF their human ability to control themselves. As they say – DON’T DRIVE if you DRINK, because if you are off the safe limits, you will not only crash the car but harmfully kill or maim yourself or someone else unknowingly. People get drunk because they TARRY too long on the bottle – wine. And some as a result of mixing wine with other drinks that their body limits can’t handle and control. That’s what Proverbs 23:29-35, talks about – that those who TARRY at the wine have their person taken over by the wine into a different personality. Could you imagine what it could be like, when your person is being taken over by the NEW WINE – the Blessed Holy Spirit – while you TARRY in God’s PRESENCE? 

“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 THEY THAT TARRY LONG AT THE WINE; they that go to seek MIXED WINE. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. . .” Proverbs 23:29-35 

So, ONON A POSITIVE NOTE, when you TARRY ON and WITH the NEW WINE – the HOLY SPIRIT – in the PRESENCE of FATHER GOD, you can be ASSURED that you will be TRANSFORMED, TRANSFERRED and TRANSLATED – as Jesus Christ EXPERIENCED with the disciples in Luke 9:28-36 and as Moses EXPERIENCED in Exodus 24; Exodus 33; Exodus 40 and as the Apostles EXPERIENCED in Acts 4:1-33 to MENTION A FEW. It takes the ESSENCE of TARRYING ON the WINE for you to get DRUNK and to BECOME the NEW PERSON.  

When you TAKE TIME to TARRY in GOD’S PRESENCE with the NEW WINE – the BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT – you will experience the graciousness, gracefulness and goodness of God that enables you to live purposefully, meaningfully and fulfilling – doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead in humanity. 

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but TARRY ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49. 

“But ye shall RECEIVE POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8. 

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE . . .12 And they were all AMAZED, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others MOCKING said, These men are FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 1:1-13. 

“And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness . . . 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33. 

I therefore plead with you to see the need to TARRY in the NEW WINE with a NEW YOU – for your heavenly outpouring of graciousness, gracefulness and goodness to EASE your earthly affairs without sweat and effortlessly – in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen!  

Don’t you want to ensure your spirit FAITH-BEING is DAILY FRESH, REFRESHING and BUILT-UP – in order to do life and live godly effectually and efficiently? Then, be DRUNK with THE NEW WINE, in your spirit FAITH BEING – by PRAYING in the Holy Spirit. It will REJUVENATE and REVITALISE your spirit FAITH-BEING in Christ Jesus’ stead; and with that SYNERGY, you can TAKE ON any BATTLE of the DAY by the WORD of God. 

“And do not get DRUNK with ORDINARY WINE, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and STIMULATED and DRUNK with the [Holy] Spirit” Ephesians 5:18/Emphasis Mine. 

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP [founded] on your most HOLY FAITH [make progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], PRAYING in the Holy Spirit” Jude 1:20. 

“For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12. 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32. 

Give it a go TODAY to PRAY in the Holy Spirit – for it will make your day count and account for you in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen! And it will heal and mend your broken and wounded spirit in the course of your daily goals and endeavours – and in any unprecedented circumstances. [Romans 8:26-27; Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13]. 

HAVING a BROKEN and DRIED-UP SPIRIT is a DANGEROUS PLACE to be in ONE’S STATE OF BEING. 

For the SPIRIT of MAN is the CANDLE, SEARCH-LAMP, ILLUMINATION, CONNECTION SIGNAL of the TRIUNE MAN toward GOD and his BEING._ 

Hence there’s the NEED to KEEP IT CHARGED to the FULL BAR — for an UNINTERRUPTED, SYNCHRONIZED FELLOWSHIP with FATHER GOD to ENHANCE the RELATIONSHIP obtained in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

For a BROKEN and DRIED-UP SPIRIT is an INDICATION of a DEPRESSING STATE of the BEING. 

Such LEVEL of INFIRMITY can ONLY be REVITALISED, REJUVENATED and AWAKENED to LIFE by PRAYING in the SPIRIT — which is: PRAYING in the HOLY SPIRIT by your HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING to FATHER GOD, in the NAME of JESUS, by the WORD of GOD. 

[Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13] 

ALWAYS REMEMBER that MAN’S SPIRIT-BEING is MADE by the SPIRIT of GOD, and SUCH LIVES by the SPIRIT BREATH of GOD by the WORD of GOD. 

Hence, the HUMAN SPIRIT is ETERNAL and LIVES in the SPHERE of ETERNITY. 

Without it no MAN can LIVE under the SENSITIVENESS of GOD’S CONSCIOUSNESS. 

This is WHY the spirit-HEART NEEDS to be BOOSTED NOW, DAILY and ALWAYS — in order to be SPIRIT-RULED by the WORD of GOD, FULFILLING PURPOSE MEANINGFULLY. 

[1 Thessalonians 5:23; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; Hebrews 4:12-13] AMEN!  

BE A HOLY SPIRIT DRUNK BEING – TO STAY FRESH, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING YOUR FAITH-BEING 

I pray for you today, that you might abound in this enabling grace to PRAY now and always in the Spirit, by your spirit, thereby accessing God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SUMMARY: 
This message is a prophetic charge to believers to TARRY in God’s presence until you are filled and “drunk” with the NEW WINE — the Holy Spirit — by PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE COMMAND AND THE EFFECT

You are urged to tarry for the New Wine until you get drunk by praying in the Spirit. 
This process ensures, assures, refreshes and builds up your faith-being in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
It mirrors Pentecost when people said of the disciples: “These men are FULL OF NEW WINE”. 
Reference: Acts 2:1-13 

  1. THE PRINCIPLE OF COSTLY PURSUIT

Like miners digging for precious stones, you must pursue eternal treasure with dedication.

Yet it is only in His presence that joy and refreshing come. 
Christ is our example. Though the Son of God, He tarried in the Father’s presence. 
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy” 
Reference: Psalms 16:11

God does miracles and not magic — and miracles are caused — and are not accidental; and are the consequence of the workings of God’s word in Christ Jesus’ stead; and as such, there’s the need then to be readily prepared for your dawn day, so then God can show up for you — to succeed and triumph in every way in His blessedness in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

As horses are for strength, there’s the need to be made ready ahead of battles or services to render, known and unknown; and in the same attitude, we ought to live readily prepared in life and godliness.  

It is good to DILIGENTLY PREPARE your day and FOR your day before you set out. 
You need to give God some readiness of yours to work with; otherwise you will be overwhelmed in either case — when your day dawns and is DAUNTED with challenges, and when you are NOT READILY READY for divine intervention. 

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord . . . 9 A man’s heart DEVISETH (PLANS) his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his steps” Proverbs 16:1-9. 

God does MIRACLES and not MAGIC. Miracles are CAUSED and not ACCIDENTAL, and are the CONSEQUENTIAL RESULTS of the WORKING of GOD’S WORD in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

One can’t AVOID his or her RESPONSIBILITY outside God’s will and EXPECT God to just SHOW UP in their matters to give ASSURANCE and NEEDED CONFIDENCE. 

DELIVERANCE and VICTORY are of God — and are POSSIBLE and AVAILABLE to and for all. But there’s the NEED to be READILY PREPARED and not to be TAKEN UNAWARES. 

Be READILY PREPARED — then GOD WILL SHOW UP FOR YOU. God does MIRACLES and not MAGIC — and MIRACLES are CAUSED — and are NOT ACCIDENTAL. 

“But the PATH of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18. 

I pray you take the day as it comes, being READILY PREPARED for the best of God for your BLESSEDNESS and to keep the enemy at bay. Every grace and blessings in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“This is the [remarkable degree of] CONFIDENCE which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ASK anything according to HIS WILL, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us. 15 And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him” 1 John 5:14-15/Amplified. 

“Do not, therefore, fling away your [fearless] CONFIDENCE, for it has a GLORIOUS and GREAT reward” Hebrews 10:35/Amplified. 

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS of the heart belong to man, but the [wise] ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord. 2 All THE WAYS of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions], but the Lord weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth]. 3 COMMIT your WORKS to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], and your PLANS will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance] . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him . . . 9 A man’s mind PLANS his way [as he journeys through life], but the Lord directs his steps and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1-9. 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a prophetic charge and exhortation to live in a state of READINESS. The core truth is that God honours preparation, and miracles are CAUSED by His Word, not by chance or magic. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: PREPARATION MEETS DIVINE POWER

The anchor scripture sets the tone: “The horse is PREPARED for the DAY of BATTLE (CHALLENGES), but DELIVERANCE and VICTORY are of the Lord”. 
Reference: Proverbs 21:31 

The message teaches that while we do our part to prepare, the outcome — deliverance and victory — belongs to God. It’s high time to make your dawn day count and account for good in God’s blessedness, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
Miracles are not accidental. They are the CONSEQUENTIAL RESULTS of the WORKING of GOD’S WORD in Christ Jesus’ stead. Therefore there is a need to be readily prepared so God can show up for you to succeed and triumph. 

  1. THE PRINCIPLE: GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH

You must DILIGENTLY PREPARE your day and FOR your day before you set out. 
If not, you will be overwhelmed — either when your day dawns and is DAUNTED with challenges, or when you are NOT READILY READY for divine intervention. 

Scripture confirms this partnership: “The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord… A man’s heart DEVISETH (PLANS) his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his steps”. 
Reference: Proverbs 16:1-9 

We cannot avoid our responsibility outside God’s will and expect God to just show up to give assurance and confidence. Deliverance and victory are possible and available to all, but there is the need to be READILY PREPARED and not TAKEN UNAWARES. 

  1. THE PROMISE: GOD SHOWS UP FOR THE PREPARED

Be READILY PREPARED — then GOD WILL SHOW UP FOR YOU. 
God does MIRACLES and not MAGIC. Miracles are CAUSED and NOT ACCIDENTAL. 

For the just, the path is progressive: “But the PATH of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day”. 
Reference: Proverbs 4:18 

The prayer is that you take the day as it comes, being READILY PREPARED for the best of God for your BLESSEDNESS and to keep the enemy at bay. 

IN ONE LINE: 
Prepare diligently, walk in God’s will, and pray with confidence — because when you are READILY PREPARED, God shows up, causes miracles, and turns your dawn day into victory and blessedness.

INCLINE YOUR LIFE TO – “THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”

By Leave a Comment

INCLINE YOUR LIFE TO – “THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”: FOR JESUS CHRIST IS – “THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”! 

“But unto you that FEAR MY NAME shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, AND GROW UP AS CALVES OF THE STALL” Malachi 4:2. 

Your INCLINATION will always DEFINE you in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
I want you to PAUSE and THINK about it as you ponder over this writing today. 

Therefore, incline your life to — THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is JESUS CHRIST, for He will beam His HEALING and HEALTH upon you and set you up on high to glow in glory and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Him. 

The moon has no light of its own, but when it inclines fully to the sun, the sun beams its light of glory and grace upon the moon, then we behold the magnificent glory and beauty of the moon — and scientists call it then — FULL MOON; but if not, it is called OPAQUE — DARK MOON. Yet it is only the reflection received from the point of inclination that determines and shows the difference. 

The headlamp unit of a car has no light of its own apart from the silver linings designed to give a divergent output. When the little bulb fitted into the unit is switched on, we see a beam of light rays, and with the switch point regulated to give the required amount of reflection, we may say the headlamp light is on high beam, low beam, or full beam. It is simply the inclination of the silver linings within the parameters of the tiny bulb that produces an intense light reflection to give clarity on the path of travel or use. 

In the same way, as humans you have no light of your own, but when you turn the battles that are yours over to God by INCLINING your hearing ear to the sayings of God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, who is — THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, He will BEAM the rays of righteous healing to all your various life matters such as: physical, spiritual, emotional, marital and other relationships, ministerial and leadership, career, business, governance and such like. 

It was an encounter such as this — Apostle Paul’s MIDDAY experience with the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS — that transformed and translated his life forever as written in “And 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 26:13-19 [Colossians 1:13-14]. 

I pray for you now to see the need to incline your hearing ear to THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS — JESUS, that He may beam His life upon you and give you the needed access to receive the enabling grace for your healing and health in His RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

WHEN YOU INCLINE YOUR HEARING EAR — THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BEAM ON YOU HIS BLESSEDNESS — IT’S FOR YOUR LIFE AND GRACE. 
AMEN.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But the PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day . . . 20 My son, attend to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, AND HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:18-23. 

“And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 WE HAVE ALSO A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“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. 

“As long as I AM IN THE WORLD, I AM THE LIGHT of the world” John 9:5. 

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: he that followeth me shall not WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE” John 8:12. 

“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” John 1:1-5. 

“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. 

SUMMARY: 
The entire message is a charge to deliberately INCLINE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS, who is “THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”. Your spiritual position, health, and glory are determined by where and to whom you incline. What you reflect will always be a result of what you are facing.

  • The WORD is Light and Life: “In HIM was life; and the life was the LIGHT of men. And the LIGHT shineth in darkness” John 1:1-5. 
  • God shines in us: “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.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE PATH ARIGHT: FOR IT IS YOUR RIGHTEOUS STANDING WITH GOD! 

“Whoever OFFERS praise glorifies Me; and to him who ORDERS his conduct ARIGHT I will show the SALVATION of God” Psalms 50:23.  

It’s time to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in life and godly living. 
You need to AUGUST your life PATH aright in RIGHTEOUSNESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS-CONSCIOUSNESS.

Righteousness — is the ability and capacity in Christ Jesus to stand before Father God without shame, inferiority, guilt, cowardice, or sin-consciousness, and without yielding to the devil’s accusations — because of what Christ HAS DONE in you, IS DOING in you, and WILL DO through you by His grace provision, in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

It’s time to August your life in the RIGHTEOUS PATH – so you can be emboldened to thrive in GRACE And LIFE in Christ Jesus’ stead. August your life path aright – it is your RIGHTEOUS STAND with God that will cause Him to DIRECT your way and DELIVER you in challenging trouble times.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH A NATION: but sin is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34. 

“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 . . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which RECEIVE abundance of GRACE and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord “ Romans 5:1-2, 17-21

THERE IS A NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST 

By Leave a Comment

THERE IS A NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST: TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH! 

“. . . 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be HEALED. 9 For I am a man UNDER AUTHORITY, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . . . 13 And Jesus SAID unto the centurion, GO THY WAY; and as thou hast BELIEVED, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was HEALED in the selfsame hour” Matthew 8:5-13. 

The WORD Is the person of Jesus [1 John 5:7]; and the WORD, being the person of Jesus, is ever present as He has ever been; and the WORD is the life and light of men, and gives the same to all that believe and have faith in His ability to make a difference in them. And the WORD is tangible as He was able to be human, to experience humanity, to resolve humanity’s matters in life and godliness [John 1:1-5, 12, 14]. And this is to ensure and assure that whatever Jesus would have done physically in humanity, in you and I, on all matters pertaining to life and godliness, is what the WORD, is to us today and always, as in Matthew 8:5-13. And by that, God has given us His divine power and divine nature to enable us to have access to all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the KNOWLEDGE [ACKNOWLEDGEMENT] of the WORD of life and faith that is now available to us in the grace. 

“Grace and peace be MULTIPLIED unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4. 

That’s why, it’s now your time to keep keeping on – on The WORD OF FAITH in Christ Jesus – to personify the reality of the creative and empowering WORD over your life and circumstances in the grace. To keep, KEEPIMG ON, BY SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH unto those circumstances and long-standing obstacles in your path of progress; I mean, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH toward the “THAT” which has become a plague, mountain, valley, crooked and rough places to you in the becoming of who you ARE by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. For by keeping onto The WORD OF FAITH, I can say to you in Christ Jesus, that assuredly, assuredly, you will PREVAIL by the WORD OVER ALL, as it is written: 

“. . . 8 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 [KJV] 

“So MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20. 

“But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:24. 

No matter how odd it may look, just keep on KEEPING ON – saying, announcing, proclaiming, declaring and SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH to the “THAT” situation. No matter how long it takes, you will certainly prevail, overcome, triumph and be victorious – for THE WORD OF FAITH is creative, transformative and thus works indeed in Christ Jesus’ stead. And THE WORD OF FAITH is THE VICTORY TO OVERCOME the world and its mode of operandi. 

“. . . 22 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 11:12-14, 20-24. 

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

The reason to keep KEEPING ON, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH, is simply this – whatsoever is accomplished by THE WORD shall ever be, to the glory of God and for your BLESSEDNESS, as it is written: 

“I know that, WHATSOEVER God DOETH, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God DOETH it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:14. 

There is therefore a MIRACLE and TESTIMONY in your MOUTH and for you, in that, the “THAT” circumstances and situations cannot stop you – except you give the permission to do contrary to THE WORD OF FAITH within you. I urge you to just keep on KEEPING ON, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH – and that change you earnestly desired and craved to come, will come surely and assuredly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen! 

THERE IS THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST – TO KEEP KEEPING ON – BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH WHICH IS IN YOU . . . TO BELIEVE WITH THE HEART AND TO SAY [DECLARE, PRONOUNCE, PROCLAIM] WITH THE MOUTH.  

Have a Blessed day in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And ALL BARE him 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. 

“And they OVERCAME him by THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“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” Proverbs 18:20-21. 

“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 . . .” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. 

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16. 

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples HEARD it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 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 11:12-14, 20-24. 

“But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between THE JEW AND THE GREEK: for the SAME Lord over all is RICH UNTO ALL that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:6-13. 

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 WHOM RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Isaiah 40:1-5. 

SUMMARY: 

The entire message is a charge to live and overcome by THE WORD OF FAITH spoken from the heart and mouth. You are not called to survive, but to THRIVE, PREVAIL, and OVERCOME by the creative, living WORD that is Jesus Himself.  

KEY POINTS  

  1. THE FOUNDATION: THE WORD IS JESUS, AND HE IS TANGIBLE 
  • THE WORD is the person of Jesus [1 John 5:7]. He is ever present, ever been. 
  • The WORD is the life and light of men [John 1:1-5, 12, 14]. He became human to resolve humanity’s matters in life and godliness. 
  • Whatever Jesus would have done physically for you, the WORD does for you today and always — just like with the centurion: “BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be HEALED” [Matthew 8:5-13]. 
  • Through the WORD, God has given us His DIVINE POWER and DIVINE NATURE to access ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness [2 Peter 1:2-4]. 
  1. THE PRINCIPLE: BELIEVE IN THE HEART, SPEAK WITH THE MOUTH 
  • THE WORD OF FAITH is nigh thee, in THY MOUTH and in THY HEART [Romans 10:8-10]. 
  • Victory comes by believing with the heart unto righteousness and confessing with the mouth unto salvation and results. 
  • This is the same principle Jesus taught: “whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN… and shall not DOUBT in his HEART… he shall have whatsoever he SAITH” [Mark 11:23-24]. 
  • The WORD grows and prevails mightily [Acts 19:20]. It grows and multiplies [Acts 12:24] when you speak it. 
  1. THE CHARGE: BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST 
  • THERE IS A NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST: TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON BY SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH! 
  • No matter how odd the “THAT” situation looks — plague, mountain, valley, crooked places — don’t stop speaking. 
  • The WORD OF FAITH is creative and transformative. It works indeed in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  • THE WORD OF FAITH IS THE VICTORY TO OVERCOME the world and its mode of operandi [1 John 5:4-5]. 
  • The reason? Whatsoever is accomplished by THE WORD shall ever be, to the glory of God and for your BLESSEDNESS [Ecclesiastes 3:14]. 
  1. THE WARNING & PROMISE: MIRACLE AND TESTIMONY IS IN YOUR MOUTH 
  • There is a MIRACLE and TESTIMONY in your MOUTH. The “THAT” circumstances cannot stop you except you give them permission by contradicting THE WORD OF FAITH within you. 
  • Death and life are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE [Proverbs 18:20-21]. We overcome “by THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY” [Revelation 12:11]. 
  • Therefore: HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF YOUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING [Hebrews 10:23]. RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH [1 Peter 5:8-9]. 
  • Keep declaring, pronouncing, proclaiming until the change you desire comes surely and assuredly. 
  1. THE BENEDICTION 
  • Prayer for grace and peace to be MULTIPLIED through the knowledge of God [2 Peter 1:2]. 
  • Charge to come BOLDLY to the throne of grace [Hebrews 4:14-16] and to witness the gracious WORDS that proceed from Christ [Luke 4:22]. 
  • Final blessing: Have a BLESSED day in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.  

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

Because Jesus the living WORD has given you divine power and victory, you must be steadfast — keep believing in your heart and speaking forth the WORD OF FAITH until every “THAT” mountain bows, because what the WORD accomplishes stands forever to God’s glory and your blessedness.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS TO THRIVE 

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS TO THRIVE: YOU ARE NOT BORN TO SURVIVE AND YOU ARE NOT A SURVIVOR! 

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV. 

It’s time to live and speak well of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus’ stead, and not of what life circumstances and situations want you to be, or define you by, or class you as – when you know it contradicts who and what you are and have become in the New Creation Testament of God’s BLESSEDNESS. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He CHOSE us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having PREDESTINED us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will” Ephesians 1:3-5. 

Therefore, don’t just EXIST – LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING – LIVE it then – make it HAPPEN – make each day count and account for your good and goodness, according to God’s Word, by God’s divine power, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4/NKJV. 

And know for SURE today, that living is about the bonding and abiding within us of these elements of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus: 

  •  HOPE 
  •  FAITH 
  •  LOVE 

“And now abide FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:13. 

“Remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father” 1 Thessalonians 1:3. 

And in Christ Jesus, it is in our applying these elements in the principles of the context, as we do LIFE and live GODLY in God’s graciousness and gracefulness, that we THRIVE and BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead – and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL by any means in the world. 

  •  By BEING PATIENCE in whatever you are so keen to pursue and achieve in HOPE; 
  •  By endeavouring to live through LOVE in all you set to LABOUR to achieve; 
  •  And by ensuring FAITH as a living currency in your process of WORK to achieve that desired intent. 

Our God in redemption has not only delivered us and translated us [Colossians 1:13-14] in Christ Jesus but has promised to DELIVER us daily from the evil that is in this our present world. The evil and wickedness of all sorts that creates the effects which have made some to be under the shadow of the survival of the fittest, as the saying goes. God knows that His WILL in His WORD can cause us to access His promises for our inheritance – that which is available and set ready for all whom He has SANCTIFIED – set apart in redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32. 

I urge you in Christ Jesus, to always MEASURE your living WORTH by the ingredients of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE even as in God’s Word. I PRAY that our God of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE may abound with you more and more in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Have a BLESSED day as you THRIVE in grace by the Word, and NEVER on the badge of survival or of surviving while in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And now abide FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:13. 

“Remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father” 1 Thessalonians 1:3. 

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the worlds were FRAMED by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:1-3. 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision AVAILETH any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6. 

“Now the God of hope FILL you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may ABOUND IN HOPE, through the POWER of the Holy Ghost” Romans 15:13. 

SUMMARY: 

This message talks about declaring your identity in Christ. The whole charge is: Stop living from circumstances. Start living from who God says you ARE in the New Creation. 

  1. YOUR IDENTITY & INHERITANCE IN CHRIST
  • YOU ARE BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS TO THRIVE — not to survive, and you are not a survivor. 
  • God has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in light [Colossians 1:12-14]. 
  • He DELIVERED us from darkness and CONVEYED us into Christ’s Kingdom. In Him we have REDEMPTION and FORGIVENESS. 
  • God BLESSED us with every spiritual blessing [Ephesians 1:3-5]. He CHOSE and PREDESTINED us for adoption as sons before the foundation of the world. 
  • We have been SANCTIFIED — set apart in redemption in Christ Jesus. Our inheritance is already available and set ready. 
  1. GOD’S PROVISION: DIVINE POWER FOR LIFE & GODLINESS
  • His DIVINE POWER has GIVEN us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS [2 Peter 1:2-4]. 
  • We are partakers of the DIVINE NATURE through His exceedingly great and precious promises. 
  • He daily DELIVERS us from this present evil world [Galatians 1:3-5] and from the mindset of “survival of the fittest.” 
  • The WORD of His grace is able to BUILD you up and GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all who are sanctified [Acts 20:32]. 
  1. THEWAY WE THRIVE: HOPE, FAITH, LOVE IN ACTION 

Living is about the bonding and abiding of 3 elements within us: HOPE, FAITH, LOVE [1 Corinthians 13:13]. 
You apply them as a 3-fold lifestyle: 

  1. By BEING PATIENT in HOPE — “patience of hope” [1 Thessalonians 1:3] 
  2. By LABOURING in LOVE — “labour of love” [1 Thessalonians 1:3] 
  3. By WORKING in FAITH — “work of faith” [1 Thessalonians 1:3]. Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for [Hebrews 11:1-3] and it WORKETH BY LOVE [Galatians 5:6]. 

When we apply these principles as we do LIFE and live GODLY in God’s graciousness, we THRIVE and BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS. We refuse to wear the badge of survival. 

  1. THE CHARGE & BLESSING 
  • MEASURE your living WORTH by HOPE, FAITH and LOVE, even as in God’s Word. 
  • Don’t just EXIST — LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING. LIVE it. Make it HAPPEN. Make each day count for your good and goodness. 
  • Prayer: That the God of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE may abound with you more and more in every way in His BLESSEDNESS [Romans 15:13]. 
  • Benediction: GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God [2 Peter 1:2-4]. 
  1. FINAL CALL: SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

The message ended with a call to ponder the scriptures and to choose thriving over surviving. 

In one sentence: 
God has delivered, qualified, blessed, and empowered you in Christ Jesus with everything for life. Therefore, reject a survival mindset, and daily live, speak, and thrive by HOPE, FAITH and LOVE as a sanctified partaker of His inheritance.
