THINK WISDOM – THE WISDOM OF GOD FOR LIVING

By Leave a Comment

THINK WISDOM – THE WISDOM OF GOD FOR LIVING: WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“. . . 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. 

Am emboldened to inform you, that you can’t be able to ENACT and APPROPRIATE SCRIPTURALLY by God’s WISDOM what you don’t KNOW and UNDERSTAND in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, THINK WISDOM, in Christ Jesus stead. For He’s the WISDOM of God as He’s the POWER of God. Otherwise, it’s religion, denominational concepts and ideas, man-made belief, religious dogmas and traditional creeds, leading to doctrinal mishap and bondages, adulteration and confusion. 

Wisdom is the principal enabling of God’s grace to do life in the New Creation, otherwise you will do life through sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, which is exhausting, tiring and weakening. The wisdom of God – gives life, empowers, it defences, gives direction, it emboldens, it illuminates and it discerns to ensure the sixth sense makes scriptural judgement. 

“For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the EXCELLENCY OF KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:12. 

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET WISDOM: and with all thy getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7. 

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both time and judgment” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5. 

And if any lacks wisdom, know there’s an opportunity to ask of God who gives to all generously without a shadow of doubting and disputation. Wisdom makes doing life and living godly not only easier and calmer, and more peaceful but without sweat and stress in the grace. 

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James 1:5-8. 

The value of wisdom is more known and appreciated when the bill of ignorance and stupidity and foolishness hit you – and don’t wait for it to happen because you may likely not recover from it and or have the opportunity to make amends. God abhors ignorance and ignorant person or people. Hence, He said His people have gone into captivity, bondages and are being destroyed for the lack of knowledge – for wisdom is the application of knowledge. 

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be NO PRIEST to me: seeing thou hast FORGOTTEN the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6. 

“Therefore my people are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their multitude DRIED UP with thirst. 14 Therefore HELL hath ENLARGED herself, and OPENED her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be EXALTED in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16. 

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men everywhere to REPENT: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-3. 

Therefore, think wisdom – the wisdom of God for living, for wisdom is the application of knowledge for your effectual and meaningful cause in the Kingdom, as you do life and live godly, in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 that no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. 

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with ENTICING WORDS OF MAN’S WISDOM, but in demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER: 5 that your FAITH should not STAND in the WISDOM OF MEN, but in the POWER of God. 6 Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the WISDOM OF THIS WORLD, nor of THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought: 7 but we speak THE WISDOM OF GOD in a mystery, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which MAN’S WISDOM teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;     comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST”. 1 Corinthians 2:1-16.

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS  

By Leave a Comment

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS: IT’S FOR YOU TO TILL YOUR LAND IN THE GRACE IN GRACE! 

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [ENABLING, RIGHT] to GET [CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that He may ESTABLISH His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine. 

We live in the age of wisdom [the application of knowledge], which thus means and indicates, it’s a high time to seek for God’s wisdom to become, and to stop running around seeking after miracles and mystery’s – by resolving and resulting to TILL YOUR LAND in grace in the grace – for that’s the true mark of being FAITHFUL in having faith in God’s faithfulness to supply all your needs in Christ Jesus stead, amen. 

And to have [possess] and to be ensured and to be assured, of God’s POWER to GET [CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, EXPLORE] wealth as in Deuteronomy 8:18, it’s not just by a wish [wishful] thinking and imagination, but it’s an act of being faithful in God’s faithfulness, which embodiments is for us to do life and live godly by wisdom – that’s the wisdom to till our land in the grace in order for us to have plenty of bread that we crave to earn. 

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11. 

“He that TILLETH 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” Proverbs 28:19-20. 

For it’s when Isaac tilled, cultivated and sow in his land that he went from obscurity to prosperity, for the land he cultivated and sow into yielded a hundredfold returns, and he became very great in the same land in the midst of famine and economic meltdown while the lazy wishful thinkers envied him as we see many do in today’s environment. Life is not by a wishful listing, thinking and imagination to have an entitlement without a process – otherwise it’s a fraud and a scam. The Believer of God in Christ Jesus knows that he that will not work – be effectual [productive and result-oriented], must not eat and such a person is subject to be disciplined and denied of any access to prosperity in the grace. 

“Let him that STOLE STEAL NO MORE: but rather let him LABOUR [CULTIVATE, TILL], working with his hands the thing, which is good, that he may have to GIVE to him that needeth” Ephesians 4:28. 

“If anyone fails to PROVIDE for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he has DENIED the faith [by disregarding its precepts] and is WORSE than an unbeliever [who fulfills his obligation in these matters]” 1 Timothy 5:8/Amplified. 

“For even while we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is NOT WILLING TO WORK, then HE IS NOT TO EAT, either. [11] Indeed, we hear that some among you are leading an UNDISCIPLINED and INAPPROPRIATE life, DOING NO WORK at all, but ACTING LIKE BUSYBODIES [MEDDLING in other PEOPLE’S BUSINESS]. [12] Now such people we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and WORK QUIETLY and EARN THEIR OWN FOOD and other necessities [supporting themselves instead of depending on the hospitality of others]” 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12/Amplified. 

“And there was a FAMINE [AUSTERITY, ECONOMIC MELTDOWN] in the land, beside the first FAMINE that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. [2] And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: [3] sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; [4] and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; [5] because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws . . . [12] Then Isaac SOWED [CULTIVATED, TILLED]in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. [13] And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: [14] for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14/Emphasis Mine. 

For when Apostle Paul writes in the epistles of 1 Corinthians 12:1-12, indicating that he doesn’t want us to be ignorant of matters concerning the spiritual gifts – it’s because he knows that one of the major reasons why God has made the Holy Spirit spiritual gifts available for our enduement endowment as written, is to enable us to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in our doing life and living godly for our today and tomorrow definition. This thus indicates that it’s a high time for any to stop blaming others for nearly everything about themselves in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to wake up and stay awake, to rise up and stay arisen, to get a life to live and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

Know that your today and tomorrow is not merely define by the craven to obtain miracles and spiritual mysteries of God without being mystical as some do crave after because of the spiritual gifts given to us – but it’s for us to be able to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, on matters of doing life and living godly as God’s ambassador’s on earth – this thus helps us in knowing the God of the TRUTH in all miracles and mystery’s too. 

And if all we are craven about it’s just for miracles and mystery’s without the most important desire of knowing the God of the TRUTH in the miracles and mystery’s we are craven, we will otherwise end up and be likened as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY having and obtaining the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God without knowing the God of such craven; while unlike them, Moses, who was craven to know God and stay in His presence for his definition in the grace [Exodus 33:12-19; Psalms 16:11]. And for Moses good spirited and hearted intent to be craven to know God primarily, requires him to have FAITH and be FAITHFUL in the FAITHFULNESS of God of Miracle and mystery’s; and for such attitude he puts on toward God, God shows him His WAY – the PATH of doing life and living godly, that makes and made his DEFINITION in grace and blessedness, in Christ Jesus stead. 

“He made KNOWN his WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES]unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine. 

It then means your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly – either to KNOW God or to PURSUE just the miracles God, which unfortunately many have been deluded and misguided by it. That’s to say, your HARVESTING and DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13[. It thus means that your ability to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, with the capacity of the measure of the grace and of the faith that’s available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is what ensures and defines you in Christ Jesus stead. 

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

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

For one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to be assured of one’s DEFINITION, is for one to stop being SLOTHFUL and LAZING around with reliance on a mere seeking after bottle of Anointing OIL, Holy WATER, special PROPHET handkerchief, miracle WRISTBAND, car or door STICKERS for your protection and the craven to possess various prayer chaplets for incantations in order to access and see spiritual things, and other such like religious practices; and to avert being slothful and lazing around its but to be DILIGENT, by having a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to succeed by God and with God’s enabling power -[Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-20]. For its within you to define the atmosphere and happiness you desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional CHOICE to become. Meaning it’s something you create, initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Applying anything otherwise, you will keep shouting “I RECEIVE” in emptiness, with all the noise and bubbles around for instant miracle at no foundation to SUSTAIN and no sense of direction with the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady. 

Just know that you are born of God, and you can have your Definition in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises. For man (you), is the reason the earth was created. Meaning, the earth is made for man and not the other way round. Therefore, TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12]. 

I pray that you find meaningful FULFILMENT in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead as you TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND in the grace in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES!   

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES! 

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH rich, and he ADDETH no SORROW with it” (Proverbs 10:22). 

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

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God. 

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold, and more, yet it’s not about material wealth; it answers every quest of human problems, granting prosperity and fruitful posterity. It empowers us to turn the impossible into possibility and the possible into certainty. 

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions. 

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason. 

“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 5:19-21. 

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

“And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, 21 far above all principality and power and [c]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come” Ephesians 1:19-21. 

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:4-7. 

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD. 

“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. 

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

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – [Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4]; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28]. 

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!

“Let not then your good be evil spoken of 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18. 

“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive THE BLESSING from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah” Psalms 24:4-6

God’s WORD: Your LAMP For INSIGHTS – Your LIGHT For FORESIGHTS 

By Leave a Comment

God’s WORD: Your LAMP For INSIGHTS – Your LIGHT For FORESIGHTS – And The ENTRANCE Of The WORD – Gives UNDERSTANDING! 

“Your WORD is a LAMP (INSIGHTS) to my FEET (INNERMOST BEING), And a LIGHT (FORESIGHTS) to my PATH (CAUSE – PLAN, PURPOSE & PURSUIT) . . . 130 The ENTRANCE (ACCESS) of Your WORDS gives LIGHT (ILLUMINATION, ENLIGHTENING); It gives UNDERSTANDING (REALISATION, COMPREHENSION, PICTURE, PERCEPTION) to the simple (CHILDLIKE, OPEN HEARTED, CREDULITIVE)” Psalms 119:105, 130/Emphasis Mine. 

There’s an unhindered access into God’s BLESSEDNESS when you give attention to The WORD of God as your LAMP For INSIGHTS and your LIGHT For FORESIGHTS. The entrance of the WORD into your innermost being gives the needed UNDERSTANDING to make you BECOME in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. 

God’s WORD makes life matters SIMPLE – simplified – even that which you might have called COMPLICATED. You can’t keep saying life is complicated and or things are complicated whenever you are asked a question about something or certain things that the answer are obvious and easy to talk about graciously and gracefully as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead. I say this because God’s WORD have unequivocal ANSWER to that QUEST and THIRST that seems complicated, and have squeezed you badly that all that oozes out of you is no longer GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL when you open your mouth to SAY or DO anything or something in particular.  

I plead with you today to make your day count and account through God’s WORD, for your good in every way in Christ Jesus stead, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

THE DAY STAR AND DAY SPRING VISITATION HAS COME 

By Leave a Comment

THE DAY STAR AND DAY SPRING VISITATION: HAS COME JESUS CHRIST – HE’S OUR DAY STAR AND OUR DAY SPRING! 

“. . . whereby the DAYSPRING from on high hath visited us, 79 to give LIGHT to them that SIT in DARKNESS and in the SHADOW OF DEATH, to GUIDE our feet into the WAY of peace . . .” (Luke 1:68-80). 

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

Our DAY STAR and DAY SPRING visitation is here and it’s time to glow in life and grace. For Jesus Christ, He’s our DAY STAR to ENLIGHTEN and ILLUMINATE our DARK and DARKNESS; and He’s our DAY SPRING fountain for our BLOSSOMING, REFRESHING and REJUVENATING in doing life and living godly. 

And it’s my earnest PRAYERS for you this day in the precious name of Jesus, for the illumination and enlightenment of your DAWN DAY by the beam of the DAY STAR, over every dark and darkness that have hindered your vision for insights and foresights, in order to enable you accomplish your God given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to shine out of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6. 

And it’s my earnest prayers that the fullness beam of God’s light, which is of the Day Star from on high, visit and elevate you from every form of the dark, darkness and shadow of death, that have hampered your vision for insights and foresights, in Christ Jesus’ name, Amen. For God’s intent is to cause His light to shine out of every darkness that has beset you, and for such light to glow from glory to glory, as you do life and live godly in the grace. 

“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” 2 Peter 1:19-20. 

And by the reason of the assured word of prophecy that’s about you in the grace, may the LIGHT of God SHINE in the DARK Places about you, until your DAY is DAWN, and may the DAY STAR ARISE in your hearts in the grace; and may by the blossoming, refreshing and rejuvenating fountain of the Day Spring of our salvation, be your life and being – be refreshed and refreshing, blossom and be blossoming, rejuvenate and be rejuvenating, day by day, in life and grace. And as Jesus Christ is the fountain of life, springing up the well of the indwelling Holy Spirit, may you never run dry and be THIRSTY in the cause of doing life and living godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

SAME God – The God of The SEASONS 

By Leave a Comment

SAME God – The God of The SEASONS: Living Beyond The Limitations Of The WEATHER! 

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

Are you been limited by the various life seasons? Do you think the weather you find yourself is limiting you? Do you think the AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING and SUMMER weathers are having effect on you? Probably the dry season alias HARMATTAN or RAINFALL seasons as in some areas are your problems? Probably the seasons of holidays as – CHRISTMAS, EASTER, SPECIAL GOVERNMENT HOLIDAYS, OTHER RELIGIOUS and NON-RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS and such like. Are all these and such like, the profound weathering of life as noted and pointed, the cause for distress and worries? 

Have you ever given a thought about the difference between the THERMOMETER and THERMOSTAT? That the first, the THERMOMETER, measures by the temperature of the surrounding weather, by absorbing it to define and detects itself; while the second, the THERMOSTAT, is not affected by the surrounding weather but instead, it measures to the temperatures of a device, it regulates and define its statuesque without external elements influence. 

“Now I say That the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is UNDER tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, WERE IN BONDAGE UNDER THE ELEMENTS Of THE WORLD: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were under the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7. 

You need to know therefore, that your life DEFINITION are the choices that are within you – and it’s for you to allow the Holy Spirit within you by God’s indwelling WORD, to DEFINE you in order to thrive and be fruitful, and ensure your wellbeing meaningfully and purposefully; and to fulfil who God have made you be in Christ Jesus stead not what the weather about you detects; and it’s up to you to save your day as a thermostat being, instead of being subjected and subjugated as a Thermometer, by making excuses and complaints of every weather and seasons to be your reason of subjection and subjugation to the elements of this world – be it of natural causes, demonic causes, man-made and make-believe or other such like factors. The choice is always yours to RESPOND thoughtfully and intentionally and pragmatically or otherwise to REACT ignorantly, foolishly, arrogantly and slothfully. 

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

The Almighty God, the creator of all weather and seasons change not, and have made each to be fruitful, productive and fulfilling respectively. He made all things beautiful in creation and have planted within each man [non gender] with eternity [eternal spirit] within to give the enabling to connect to God for the very best in life. 

“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye GAZING up into heaven? THIS SAME Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” Acts 1:9-11 

You can either act correspondingly to THRIVE and be FULLFIL or be gazing at the weather and seasons as the DISCIPLES of Christ Jesus once did and do nothing until the seasons and weather overwhelmed; and thereafter, you can blame no one of your nonchalant behaviour and attitude [conduct], for gazing at the weather and watching your circumstances overwhelming instead of exercising the will to create, innovate, explore and initiate your own path of happiness and FULFILMENT within God’s will of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

I employ you today to wake up and determine not to allow any form of life weather and seasons to define you in becoming who you were born of God to be in Christ Jesus stead in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION  

By Leave a Comment

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION: IT’S A MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY! 

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD them out, and which may BRING them in; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not as SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD” Number 27:15-17. 

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which cometh upon me DAILY, THE CARE of ALL the CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28. 

Being called by Father God to the place of FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance His RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus is preciously precious and must be faithfully treasured without measure. And more so, being given the opportunity and privilege as one SET-APART to lead His people and to feed them with knowledge and understanding, it’s at a cost and for a purpose. And it’s imperative that such rare apportion cause to do life and live godly is given such blessed regards without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation by all and any means at all. 

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20. 

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15. 

Our Father God is jealous over His redeemed precious people that He has chosen to be a special called generation, a holy and peculiar people, that are to show forth and showcase His glory, majesty and grace to others – by bringing them into the light of life. 

Therefore, know of a TRUTH this day, in this moment that being a God’s SET-MAN for the congregation, it’s a ministerial responsibility and accountability, and the principle to upheld it with dignity and grace must be fully accorded without reservation if you must fulfill the purpose meaningfully. 

It’s my prayers that you find grace, wisdom and speed in God’s presence and blessedness, as one set apart to meaningfully fulfil God’s cause and purpose, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE us ABLE MINISTERS of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:4-6. 

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have RECEIVED mercy, we FAINT NOT; 2 but have RENOUNCED the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness, nor HANDLING the word of God deceitfully; but by MANIFESTATION of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God . . . 5 For we PREACH NOT OURSELVES, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your SERVANTS for Jesus’ sake. 6 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. 7 But we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER may be of God, and not of us . . . 16 For which cause we FAINT NOT; but though our OUTWARD MAN PERISH, yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day. 17 For our LIGHT AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, WORKETH FOR US a far MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL weight of glory; 18 while we LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18. 

“And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for THE PERFECTING of the saints, for THE WORK of the ministry, for THE EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in THE UNITY of the faith, and of THE KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto THE MEASURE of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking THE TRUTH in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16. 

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME MORE THAN THESE? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, FOLLOW ME” John 21:15-19.

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!   

By Leave a Comment

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”! 

“. . . 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27. 

Enjoying the enabling grace in the faith of BEING BORN of God is only as authentic and effective and effectual, to as much as you choose and be determined to take a stand to ensure and be assured, that you give no room for fallacy and any contrary to stain and pollute your TESTIMONY of God in Christ Jesus stead. 

The kingdom DEMAND for each one of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. It’s not an ADVICE to pick cherry and not of a choice to agree or disagree upon. It’s an ORDER, a COMMAND, a MANDATE and an ASSIGNMENT to be willingly obeyed if you and I must eat the good of the land as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, Amen [Isaiah 1:19]. And because God in His word of instruction and command is not given to be a taskmaster, or burdensome, or irksome or grievous, He has already made available His enabling endowments to ensure and assure that obedience to His WORD gives peace and tranquillity irrespective and without prejudice. 

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]” 1 John 5:3. 

The kingdom DEMAND as to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in this context, is to ensure that you are not living less or out of what you ARE of God in Christ Jesus, in REDEMPTION, because you ARE His, and the epistle that’s being seen and read of all men as written: 

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, KNOWN and READ of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.   

And as being God’s Epistle or open letter that’s being read and known of men in Christ Jesus, it’s imperative that you live to ensure and assure that the fulness of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS is at work upon your life in all wisdom in graciousness and gracefulness. And you are not undermined by any means by the bigots of religion and religiosity, sectarianism and denominationalism, traditional dogmas, creed, make belief and such like that makes the WORD of God of no effect in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, as an EPISTLE of God to humanity, you ARE ensuring and assuring that you are STANDING uncompromisingly and unreservedly for who you ARE without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation by FAITH and not limited in this endowed GRACE to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as one that’s: 

  • A NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16] 
  • God’s AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVES in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:20]. 
  • A MORE than conquerors in Christ Jesus stead [Romans 8:37]. 
  • An OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead [1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11]. 
  • VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 15:57]. 
  • TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 2:14]. 
  • REDEEMED in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12] 
  • A CHOSEN GENERATION, a HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE etc in Christ Jesus stead [1 Peter 2:9-10]. 
  • . . . and MANY SUCH LIKE . . . in Christ Jesus stead. 

It’s your moment and time now, to take a gracious STAND, by standing in grace by faith of ensuring and assuring of who you ARE, AGAINST any onslaughts and anything that contradicts and goes contrary to your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus; and to take a stand against anything or forces as may be PERPETUATED by the enemy and cohorts of your FAITH; and against satanic cohorts interfering on you to intentionally and pragmatically take a stand in the grace to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, as a demand of the kingdom. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1 

For we live in the perilous times and days wherein the enemy and cohorts are out there as PERVERTERS of the Gospel – and we must vehemently resist their mode of operandi in everywhere by the WORD and in the leadership power of the Holy Spirit, to keep the FAITH wherein we stand by GRACE, ensure and assured for our good and our hearers. It’s time not to be complaining and arguing and lazing around sluggishly and slothfully with the enemy and cohorts, but to stand tall and be vigilant, to resist, and to earnestly contend in the faith by the grace in Christ Jesus, against all the onslaughts that’s outplaying to stop us from the kingdom mandate and demand to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. 

“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 [WHOLE, COMPLETE], STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10/Emphasis Mine. 

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9. 

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was NEEDFUL for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4. 

When you ARE able to take your stand FOR your redemption REALITIES and take stand also AGAINST any form of the enemy and cohorts strategy and crafty acts of deception in grace by God in Christ Jesus, you ARE indeed living by the Kingdom demand to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. 

Therefore, raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH by the GRACE wherein you STAND, by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, while enjoying the fulness and purpose to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate.

” Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him“ 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Brethren, be FOLLOWERS together of me, and MARK them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our CONVERSATION is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to SUBDUE all things unto himself” Philippians 3:17-21.

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: IT’S ABOUT BEING THE LIGHT AND THE ANSWER TO SOMEONE ELSE DARKNESS AND QUEST! 

“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. 

Are you a Gospel Minister, Christian Worker and or a Believer of The Christian Faith? I pray you to be the GOOD SAMARITAN and not the extra busy and insensitive PRIEST and LEVITE of Luke 10:25-37, who seems too religiously busy and insensitive to have a moment for the QUEST of the needy as per when it’s most important when the opportunity to do so was within their reach. 

Sometimes for many, we’ve overlooked the essence of the Ministry of the Gospel – which is about solving life problems, and for which, we are in the World and not of the World. This thus indicate the need to be heavenly mindful and also of earthly good. We need to be earthly good even to a fault, if that’s what it takes to give hope, love, faith, peace, opportunity and more, to someone else. 

Solving life problems for others will take passion that might involve sacrifice and service. You may not be positioned to have the physical answer per se for everything, but a PRAYER, a heartfelt concern to care may be more helpful than the actual physical provision; especially when it’s not within your physical possessions to offer and provide. When you become the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest, our God in return will beam His light of life in His own ways and time on your own darkness and quest. 

Give yourself a trial this week, by being the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest. The Father God will be glorified, and you will be blessed indeed. Amen!

“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). 

“Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. PROVIDE THINGS HONEST IN THE SIGHT OF ALL MEN. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, LIVE PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN. 19 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 12:16-21 

“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. 

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a fault, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS and so FULFIL the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us DO GOOD unto all men, ESPECIALLY unto them who are of the HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Galatians 6:1-10.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINES

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU! 

Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decision and action you’ve made and are making in cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that has befallen you in cause of time or is befalling you now.. 

Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or was into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that makes no difference. 

You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus stead, have NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way. 

Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking for self-gratification, self-pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat. 

You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY that will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energises one to BECOME in life and grace. 

I want you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of been negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many have done to their situations, leading to their detriments. 

Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how you are RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus. 

You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your daybreak or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your daybreak. Ponder thoughtfully and be bless accordingly. And I pray for God’s grace upon you, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW. 10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God GRANTED him that which he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. 

“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . ” Luke 15:11-31.
