BE EMBOLDENED: YOU NEED TO ALWAYS TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE – NO MATTER WHAT! 

“And all bare Him [Jesus] 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 

Beloved in Christ – no matter what’s going on in your life today, I challenge you to always stand EMBOLDENED; and to always TAKE and MAKE – A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE – ON and FOR your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. A question came up in Luke 4:22, when Jesus Christ took a stand to speak GRACIOUS WORDS against that which was contrary in His days of people making such sacrilegious or saying some unscriptural terms either directly or indirectly to insinuate the contrary or as some in noting things that can be attributed to cursing and swearing etc; In  today’s world, we see many made-up statements and excuses related to religion, denominations, sectarianism and such like settings as – “return to sender”, by “fire and thunder”, by “fire by force”, by “fire of the Holy Ghost” against another they dislike, “thunder to anyone against their destiny” as a witch-hunt and such like phrases that are of no stand Scripturally even though it makes religious sense appealing to their emotions, sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, that leads to no avail. 

We must take a STAND on the GRACE wherein we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH and have ACCESS BY FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus, to speak Scripturally, and of gracious words as our Lord Jesus did in humanity, instead of the onward and upward trajectory culmination of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appears and appeals to people vulnerability and quest that are unscriptural for the New Creation Testament. 

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

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without WAVERING; (for he is FAITHFUL that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23. 

Save yourself from every form of questioning on your JUSTIFICATION in REDEMPTION in Christ JESUS, and from SIN and its effect in terms of these: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, by taking a STAND UP steadfastly on your FAITH in the GRACE against the enemy and cohorts in order to keep them at bay; and go on holding forth steadfastly the AFFIRMATION of your Faith in Christ Jesus stead, against all odds. Amen. 

Be EMBOLDENED to take a FAITH STAND in GRACE on the WORD as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. He did take His STAND to FULFIL Father God PURPOSE in His humanity AGAINST all three odds suggestive questionnaire that was thrown on Him, by the ENEMY satan as by his COHORTS in other places, by answering him satan in all – IT’S WRITTEN. [Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13. I PRAY you know how to say to the ENEMY and COHORTS – it’s WRITTEN too. [1 Peter 5:8-12]. 

Let none keep you on the low or down by any means – to bring back the memory of sin, sinful nature, setback, failures and defeat and such like. In Christ Jesus you are PRICELESS; and have an awesome, fabulous and gorgeous WORTH in grace. 

Your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is a DID-DONE-DEED – Period! STAND ON it And FOR it daily – no matter what. Be steadfast and steadily STANDING ON your REDEMPTION GROUND; and to keep STANDING AGAINST any contrary. Meaning be more CONSCIOUS of who YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, than of what SATAN and COHORTS are about you in SIN and FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS. When you give the enemy and cohorts NO ATTENTION, they will give you NO DIRECTION to travel along. So, don’t give them any form of OXYGEN to breath around your redemption stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

DON’T BE A WALK OVER BELIEVER BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING – RATHER – BE EMBOLDENED TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE – NO MATTER WHAT. For in Christ Jesus, you ARE – TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS – all the way. And you – ARE REDEEMED, BEING REDEEMED AND SHALL BE REDEEMED – in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Have A Blessed Day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

HEREIN ARE SOME WISDOM NUGGETS – SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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, STRENGHTEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-12. 

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the devil. . . 14 STAND therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness” Ephesians 6:11, 14. 

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature (creation, Person, personality): OLD things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW . . . 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 (Emphasis mine)

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14. 

“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when THE TEMPTER came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, IT IS WRITTEN, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him” Matthew 4:1-11 (Luke 4:1-13).

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: MY TEN SPECIAL CHRISTMAS ‘WISDOM NUGGET DIGEST’ TO YOU! 

This CHRISTMAS . . . This DECEMBER, it’s great knowing these but not limited wisdom nuggets that WORTH digesting as such: 

Firstly, WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? It is a yearly COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord and Saviour – Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for the good of ALL mankind. 

Secondly, I am laying out some TEN WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST which I love you to observe for your own good – It will secure you in GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in this DECEMBER Christmas from lots of shortfalls that people get trapped into. 

HEREIN are the TEN WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST to assist you wisely in this DECEMBER CHRISTMAS preparation if you may: 

  •  1ST WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall PREPARE your soul for Christmas – [Romans 12:1-2]. We need to PREPARE a room in the INNER being of our heart for the Lord in this Christmas – [Revelation 3:20; Luke 2:7b]. 
  •  2ND WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not over BURDEN the Salesclerk with your worries – [Matthew 6:25-34 (note especially vs. 33 – the need to seek right)]. 

We need not let the worry of gifts – Shoes, games, transport, groceries, clothing’s, jewelries and other forms of shopping and shoppers, to weigh us down and get us into debt. You need to escape from the bondage of – BUY today for nothing to PAY in WORRIES and ANXIOUSNESS with HEAVY HEARTS and BURDEN later – resulting and leading to depression. 

  •  3RD WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall GIVE yourself with your gift – [2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 2 Corinthians 9:7-11; Psalm 49:6-9]. 

GIVE God your HEART before you GIVE your material gains and gifts: Give Him your heart, the Lord requires first before anything. Your life is worth to God than your gift. GIVING IS LIVING. 

  •  4TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not VALUE gifts by their cost – [Luke 21:1-5; Matthew 2:11]. The least expensive gift may speak LOVE and with great hearts than the costly.  
  •  5TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not LEAVE (keep) Christ outside Christmas – [Matthew 2:13]. Joseph was with Christ during Christmas celebration mood; hence he could hear from God about the enemy and cohorts’ intent and plan – for King Herod had set a danger plan against baby Jesus. Don’t let Christmas be used for evil work against you and your family. 
  •  6TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not ALLOW Father Christmas to REPLACE Christ in your heart and that of your family – [Ephesians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:27; Luke 2:11]. Some will put up some masquerade and sorcery circus acts to display in a devilish mood, terrorising and frightening people in the name of Christmas. Don’t get people hurt please. Stay far away from such attraction. 
  •  7TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not FORGET and NEGLECT the needy – [James 1:27; 2:14-20]. Christmas is a very good time to extend God’s love in you to the needy around you. For the have not will always be among us the scriptures say – Deuteronomy 15:11; Mark 14:7. 
  •  8TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not NEGLECT your Church – the place of gathering for Fellowship, serve and Worship of God in Christ Jesus stead – [Hebrews 10:25]. What is the Church? It is the voluntary gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP with one another in the LOVE of Christ, to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and to WORSHIP God WORTHILY in spirit and truth. The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the morning it is called MASS – Celebration and Commemoration while in the evening – it is called BENEDICTION. [John 4:20-24; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Corinthians 14:25]. 
  •  9TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall be humble as a LITTLE Child – [Mark 10:15]. It takes a childhood heart to embrace the spirit of Christ birth for the called Christmas. Hence, it’s a time of childhood spirit and not childish attitude which we may see on our streets and community during this period. 
  •  10TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall WORSHIP and give your heart toward God in Christ Jesus – [Matthew 2:11; John 3:16; Revelation 3:20; John 1:12]. Let Christ be at the top of your Christmas commemoration and celebration. Prepare and decorate your hearts much more to your house. 

And FINALLY: 

KEEP SELFISHNESS OUT OF YOUR CHRISTMAS – FOR SELFISHNESS makes Christmas a BURDEN, but LOVE makes Christmas – PEACEFUL, LOVELY, GOOD WILL and JOYOUS in every way. FOR GIVING IS LIVING. AND CONTENTMENT IS A GREAT GAIN IN LIFE AND GODLINESS. 

Wishing you a MERRY Christmas of good will and peace. And BLESSED COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . .14 And THE WORD was made FLESH (HUMAN), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14 Emphasis Mine.

TO ENACT A NEVER-THE-LESS ENABLING: LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP FOR A CATCH! 

It’s a beautiful NEW DAY that the CREATOR God has MADE and not the enemy and cohorts – that’s the reason to REJOICE and be GLAD in it – now and always – in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

“This is the DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24. 

No matter how much you’ve toiled in the last ELEVENTH MONTH, don’t give up, don’t lose heart and don’t give room to weariness and failure and self-pity decorum. You may be at the verge of your ELEVENTH HOUR to break forth into your miracles and breakthrough over all the – mountains, valleys, crooked roads and rough places – that have stood AGAINST you in entering your DESIRED PLACES; more so, be set to breakthrough into that SET gracious position that tend to have defiled you and define you by standing as an OBSTACLE to your path of fulfilment and excellence. 

All you need to do is take an extra step and walk on in the WORK of FAITH against all odds and LAUNCH into the DEEP, that is, away from the SHALLOW of  intimidation, failure, fear and mediocrity – because your hour of great catch is come, and it’s now, in God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

And I proclaim in the name of Jesus, that as Peter and others believe the WORD, took a STEP OF FAITH ON THE WORD by declaring a NEVER-THE-LESS, in spite of their yesterday failures, and they LAUNCH into the DEEP by the WORD for a great CATCH, in same like spirit, may you LAUNCH in faith by the WORD, get your own CATCH in Jesus precious name. Amen. And may your CATCH be in grace on WHATSOEVER it is that’s named, that you desired of God, that your joy might be full in life and in the Lord, in Jesus precious name, Amen. And may your abundance of catch enlarge you beyond bounds, in Jesus’ name, Amen. 

And may as you read this scripture of Luke 5:1-11 in full, may you receive the enabling grace to your BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS at thy WORD I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great MULTITUDE of FISHES: and their net brake. 7 And they BECKONED unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was ASTONISHED, and all that were with him, at the DRAUGHT of the fishes which they had taken . . .” (Luke 5:1-11)

HAVING GOOD SUCCESS WITH GOD

By Leave a Comment

HAVING GOOD SUCCESS WITH GOD: IT’S ABOUT DILIGENCE NOT A COINCIDENCE! 

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

SUCCESS to me is turning FAILURE inside out and it does not happen by COINCIDENCE. It’s a consequence of God’s WORD at work; and an act of DILIGENCE with the principles of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and PRUDENCE toward maximising the God given resources of life – TIME, FINANCE, SKILL/TALENT and TOOL/MATERIAL and PEOPLE. And of a TRUTH, you need to know full well that God does miracle but not magic; hence, Success like Miracle are CAUSE to happen by the WORD and are not coincidental – meaning they don’t happen by coincidence. 

Success in life is relative in terms but by virtue of grace you can be able to achieve success or be successful in that desired purposeful objective of life because that’s the Father God intent for you. (Romans 8:28-30; 3 John 2, Luke 12:32; Psalms 35:27; Job 36:11; Matthew 6:33). 

When one walks in the path of diligence, and along the course with the rules of the game as in the Word of God, good success is inevitable; for God REWARDS DILIGENCE and over time you will intermingle with success and successful people in life and grace with God. 

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, NOBLE, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

Begin your day with DILIGENCE, which is doing life and making effort steadfastly, consistently and smartly in your set goal and objective; and over time, you will soonest share the joy of good success as many have achieved and keep achieving. 

Walk in DILIGENCE. Don’t be in a HASTE to be a success as per been rich, you may find yourself doing the wrong and HEAVEN will not be on your side. When you believe God for your SUCCESS, you don’t have to COMPETE and COMPARE with any, knowing that DILIGENCE with God will pay off for your good in Him, in grace and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, NOBLE, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6. 

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

“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. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: 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 HIS LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is VOID of UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 12:11. 

“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he THAT BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:16. 

“For we DARE not make ourselves of the number, or COMPARE ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY

By Leave a Comment

READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY: I FOUND A WRIT ON THE BRITISH NEW TEN [£10] POUNDS NOTE! 

“I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817. 

While relocating to UK years ago, one of my one-time British friend and work colleagues in the Oil Sectors Industry said to me and family this statement: 

“If you can READ – you CAN’T and WON’T get LOSS and WON’T live IGNORANT and be MISINFORMED; and you WON’T get cheated out so easily in life by any means – meaning, INFORMATION to anything worthwhile is free and available but you have to MAKE the CONSCIOUS effort to READ to KNOW and OWN IT”. 

Honestly, he was very right indeed – And from the step down at the famous International Heathrow Airport, London, UK, till date, I have found his statement and candid advice useful – finding READABLE signpost to almost everything in everywhere and everyway. There is INFORMATION available for almost everything, much more now with internet connectivity age. And indeed – it’s No wonder it’s called the “MOTHER AND HOME OF DEMOCRACY”. 

However, I didn’t question all these years or found out FULL WELL why my Oil Sectors colleagues made such profound statement knowing I am EDUCATED and of course can READ while working together. But I found out recently a major LANDMARK while about paying for a service at the shop of which I have NEVER bothered to look at nor examined. I took a close examination of the money in my hand to pay for the service I have received. Written in a small print on the British Ten (£10) Pounds Note, is this inscription that will forever stay with me – “I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817. What an inspiring and empowering writ. Honestly, for such KNOWING as per the discovery that day, I changed my mind for once not to pay for the service received with the cash note at hand, but paid instead with my debit card to enable me have a more reading in the inscription and description on the Ten [10] pounds note. It’s simply for such TREASURED INSCRIPTIONS that’s inspiring and empowering to TRIUMPH in life and grace. And it thus means so much to me also – the essence of READING that have defined and given triumph to an informed society that I’ve found myself dwelling. 

It has REKINDLED me to now READ the more, ever than before though an Author and WRITER in my own rights of books and other literature publications; and especially, having a wife who does not welcome a wrongly spoken English at home. More so, in the words of my ever-loving dear Mama who once said while getting me ready to be educated at School – “WE CAN’T ALL BE BLIND IN THIS HOUSE, SOMEBODY MUST READ AND WRITE – SO GO TO SCHOOL, AND SHE WILL PAY FOR IT”. I heard it once and over again, I did left her and family that day, with the mission as she said, which was later affirmed by my dad in same thoughts – to READ and WRITE; then the rest siblings followed suits afterwards and she paid for it along with our dad of blessed memory. Blessed she is, for her graciousness and gracefulness in our education – memorable indeed. 

I challenge you today to see the NEED to READ. There’s TRIUMPH IN READING. Discovery gives recovery for self-WORTH in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus stead. AND YOU CAN START TODAY. For there’s no LIMIT to what you can BECOME, if you RESOLVE and make the NEEDED conscious effort to be INFORMED in that which you intend to embark on or are dreading at right now, knowing being INFORMED will make all DIFFERENCE in doing life and godly living. 

PUT AN END AND AT BAY TO IGNORANCE BY READING. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING EMANCIPATES, WHILE IGNORANCE IS DESTRUCTIVE AND CANCEROUS. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. 

“Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1 Timothy 4:13 

“The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, BRING with thee, AND THE BOOKS, but especially the parchments” 2 Timothy 3:13. 

“As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my word, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“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. 

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

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

“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. 

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, but of HEARING THE WORDS of the Lord: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall not FIND it. 13 In that day shall the FAIR virgins and YOUNG men FAINT for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

YOU ARE GOD’S BEST – GOD’S LOVE PLAN

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE GOD’S BEST – GOD’S LOVE PLAN: TO GIVE YOU A HOPEFUL LIFE TODAY, A GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL FUTURE! 

“For I know the PLANS I have for you, declares the Lord, PLANS to PROSPER you and not to harm you, PLANS to give you HOPE and a FUTURE” Jeremiah 29:11/NIV. 

God has His plan for you. That’s why God LOVES you – For you ARE His Best – and you ARE His Plan – and you ARE in His Plan to fulfil a purpose meaningfully in the grace. Don’t live less that’s available on your redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. I want you to know these: 

Firstly, God LOVES you in spite of whatsoever is going on right now in your life. That default of God’s love won’t change or be reversed because God is love. He’s the definition of love and will keep to His word. For in love, He has begotten us and in love He will keep us to fulfill His plan, purpose and pursuit in the grace. 

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. [16] And we have known and believed the LOVE that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in LOVE dwelleth in God, and God in him” 1 John 4:8, 16. 

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and the first BEGOTTEN of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, [6] and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. [8] But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

Secondly, And whether you ARE low or high in life altitude, you are still God’s best and His intent is to give you a hopeful today and a future in life; and His grace to make it possible are irrevocable and are at its FULNESS for your good and goodness in Him. And because you are in His purpose of Love, He’s processing you to ensure that all things, the good and the challenging times work together for your expected end. For what God has for you is not in anyone else but within you, revealed only by the Holy Spirit, who works to reveal you, manifest you, and showcase you for God’s glory and praise. So let God make you whole and complete in His PREDESTINATED plan, purpose and pursuit for you. For your destiny and definition is inside you and not in anyone else. So, don’t think anyone else can hold back your today and tomorrow – for only you can hold back yourself except you give up you to someone else to define you instead of God’s definition of you. You ARE the custodian of your happiness and joy for your today and tomorrow. 

“And we KNOW that all things work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. [29] For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among many brethren. [30] Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30. 

“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” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 

“That in the DISPENSATION of the FULNESS of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: [11] 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 1:10-12. 

You need to know and say to yourself that God loves you, and cares about you, and it’s irrespective, and it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation; and it matters not how your day, week, month, or year has been, especially this DAY, your today. And it’s my earnest PRAYERS that you might know the divine LOVE of God that TRANSCEND and SURPASSED human sense knowledge of LOVE. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, [18] may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [19] AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH [TRANSCEND, SURPASSED] KNOWLEDGE [HUMAN SENSE], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19. 

You need to rise up, tidy up yourself, raise up your head, look upwards, adjust your shoulders, shake off your limitations and see the dawning of a new you in the eyes of God’s love, to make it good for you. You need to be heads up, shoulders high and on the high heels of faith in Christ Jesus stead. You are being processed on your onward and upward trajectory in the path of greatness to fulfil purpose meaningfully and unreservedly. 

Say to yourself, I am God’s best and His showcase, and I will not fail, because God has never failed and will not fail, and He won’t begin with me no matter what my present circumstances appears to be. For every situation is designed for my becoming and certainly I am becoming by God’s process of me. Amen!

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only BEGOTTEN Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

EARLY MORNING PRAYER-LINE: BELIEVE AND PROFESS TO YOUR SALVATION! 

“Let us seize and hold tightly the PROFESSION of our FAITH without WAVERING, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]” Hebrews 10:23/Amplified. 

Make this communication – the professing [testifying, declaring, announcing, pronouncing, affirming] of your faith unto salvation, of this writ upon your being in Christ Jesus stead: 

May my God, the Father of my personal Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and my Father through Him, that cause light to shine out of darkness, shine through me today, illuminating everything about me and to locate me in grace, wisdom and speed to my BEST place of unspeakable and indescribable and overwhelming joy, in Jesus precious name, Amen. And may it be so, even as it’s written concerning me in the Holy writ Amen: 

“For God, who said, “Let LIGHT shine out of DARKNESS,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to GIVE us the Light of the knowledge of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6/Amplified. 

Your professing [testifying, declaring, announcing, pronouncing, affirming] with your mouth and with your heart believe – ensures and assures your today and tomorrow. It ensures and assures to rule and reign in life and grace by the scriptural truth that defines you. For you ARE the CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow, believing in heart and professing with mouth the Word of grace in Christ Jesus. For the testifying and testimony of Jesus, which is the communication – of your FAITH in the acknowledgement of what God had done in you in Christ Jesus is what makes you productive and results oriented as a New Creation. 

“That the COMMUNICATION [PROFESSING, TESTIFYING, DECLARING, ANNOUNCING, PRONOUNCING, AFFIRMING] of THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine. 

“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. 

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have THE TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

Therefore, speak forth well to live well in your wellbeing in the grace. Speak graciousness out of your mouth with gracefulness from your heart, to activate your salvation possibility, as written: 

“And all BARE Him [Jesus] 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. 

“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. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Let THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH, and the MEDITATION OF MY HEART, be ACCEPTABLE in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer” Psalms 19:14. 

“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 10:8-13. 

“Thou art SNARED with the WORDS OF THY MOUTH, thou art TAKEN with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2. 

“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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING!  

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING! 

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24. 

“So then, let us [who MINISTER] be regarded as servants of Christ and STEWARDS (TRUSTEES, ADMINISTRATORS) of the MYSTERIES of God [that He CHOOSES to reveal]. 2 In this case, moreover, it is REQUIRED [as essential and demanded] of STEWARDS that one be found FAITHFUL and TRUSTWORTHY” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2/Amplified. 

Many times, I have come across the QUEST for an ANSWER by some Believers who are genuine in their dedication and commitment toward God and toward men – burdened as to say – if indeed being FAITHFUL, that’s  to say, staying FAITHFUL, is still REWARDING at all. Some of these people have been beaten and battered in life in many ways that the drive and passion to remain FAITHFUL seems deceptive, illusive and unrealistic to them in matters of life and godly living. But I know Faithfulness is rewarding; and God is still FAITHFUL even when we walk away from His faithfulness, because faithfulness is about His person and nature and He can’t deny Himself because of us. 

“It is a FAITHFUL saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 if we SUFFER, we shall also REIGN with him: if we DENY him, he also will DENY us: 13 if we BELIEVE NOT, yet He ABIDETH FAITHFUL: He CANNOT DENY himself” 2 Timothy 2:11-13. 

And sometimes as a Pastor, you are almost drawn into these sentiments of people whose acts of FAITHFULNESS are shattered, when you are presented with the vivid facts of their encounters and experiences. Especially when you see matters of life in this light: 

  • A woman being beaten up and maimed by the temperamental and untampered husband or like another husband having a wife you can’t truly be assured anymore of her ways due to the change from a WE statement to an – I, ME and MYSELF trinity. 
  • When an employee working and putting up with much of the skill to see the business setting THRIVE for the good of the Business with hope while such employee is being undermined by the employer with no fair and justifiable returns; or an employer doing and going beyond the company capacity to ensure employees are looked after, are given a good commensurate returns and care, while therein are some mean, dubious, undedicated and untrustworthy employee, who are there only for the looting, wasting and undermining the prospects of seeing such Business THRIVE knowingly and unknowingly; and they knowing that their doings may have terrible impact on them and all those who looks up to them through that means for their livelihood. 
  • When a government is failing in governance to the cause and course of giving leadership and governance in the distribution of the set resources to everyone without prejudice, discrimination and dissemination and such like; while there are some others within the system sabotaging the good effort and structure in place for the good governance and wealth distribution to all by their wicked, crafty, cunning and evil intent to loot the system and make it fail at no consequence. 
  • And the list goes on and on in various life applications of the challenge of FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL. You can name them too to make up this paragraph. 

However, I am emboldened to say by the light of the Scriptures that BEING FAITHFUL – that is, FAITHFULNESS is rewarding in God, no Matter the prevailing challenges and circumstances that one might face or have been facing for a while or may face later on. For me, the knowing that God is FAITHFUL to Himself and His WORD in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, I recommend again of the need to live FAITHFUL. Hence, we are employed and enjoined as Believers in Christ Jesus stead, that in whatever capacity – WORD OR DEED, in carrying out our duty or Services, as toward God and toward man, we should do it as unto God in the name of Jesus Christ; for God is FAITHFUL to REWARD us accordingly in spite of all happenings, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, I say to you, hold fast and firmly to the MYSTERY of the FAITH in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, with a PURE CONSCIENCE. 

Herein are few hints but not limited to indicate that FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL, IS REWARDING in God, in Christ Jesus stead: 

  1. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, gets one an enriching reward and abounds with blessings. Proverbs 28:20; Proverbs 10:22; Ephesians 1:3.
  2. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, permits progress and abounds with healing and health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20.
  3. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with refreshing grace for the good of others. Proverbs 25:13; Isaiah 44:24-26.
  4. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with commendation and the enabling to increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21, 23; Mark 10:28-30.
  5. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b; Mark 10:28-30. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30]. 

“But the Lord is FAITHFUL, who shall STABLISH you, and KEEP you from EVIL“ 2 Thessalonians 3:3. 

“And WHATSOEVER ye do in WORD or DEED, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” Colossians 3:17.

BE A TIMOTHY: FOR AN INFORMED CHILD – MAKES AN INFORMED FAMILY

BE A TIMOTHY: FOR AN INFORMED CHILD – MAKES AN INFORMED FAMILY – THAT MAKES INFORMED HEALTHY COMMUNITY AND SOCIETY! 

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; [4] greatly desiring to see thee, being MINDFUL of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; [5] when I call to remembrance the UNFEIGNED FAITH that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am PERSUADED that in THEE also” 2 Timothy 1:3-5. 

Knowledge may not be APPRECIATED until you are a VICTIM of IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOOLISHNESS – Therefore, EDUCATE your MIND – BE INFORMED by INFORMED MIND – Otherwise FOOLS will SCHOOL you with ignorance, stupidity and foolishness. And the cost of the lack of knowledge and understanding are beyond measures. 

IT’S FAR BETTER TO BE EDUCATED THAN TO BE SCHOOLED. THEREFORE, EDUCAT YOUR MIND AS JESUS DID. 

“After three days they found Him [came upon Him] in the [court of the] temple, SITTING among the TEACHERS, LISTENING to them and ASKING them QUESTIONS. [47] And all who heard Him were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His INTELLIGENCE and UNDERSTANDING and His replies. [52] And Jesus increased in WISDOM (in broad and FULL UNDERSTANDING) and in stature and years, and in favor with God and man” Luke 1:46-47, 52/Amplified Classic Edition. 

Don’t wait to be schooled. Make an intentional and pragmatic decision to have you educated by all means in order to be properly informed in your mind so that you can make an informed decision. That’s what Apostle was able to make the young Timothy realised. Be a learned person in matters that you know will define your path of purpose especially; for ignorance, foolishness and stupidity is very expensive – don’t make any or such like your friends or next-door neighbour. Be as Timothy! Be Educated. Don’t wait to be Schooled. 

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of WHOM thou hast LEARNED THEM; 15 and that from a CHILD thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE to MAKE thee WISE unto SALVATION through FAITH which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT (MATURE, WHOLE, COMPLETE), throughly FURNISHED unto ALL good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Emphasis Mine. 

Therefore, DARE to be a TIMOTHY – DARE to be INFORMED. For INFORMED people makes an INFORMED leaders that makes INFORMED leadership and INFORMED choices. Be one of them for your well-being and that of others, especially those you care about in life and grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:31-32. 

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of WHOM thou hast LEARNED THEM; 15 and that from a CHILD thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE to MAKE thee WISE unto SALVATION through FAITH which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT (MATURE, WHOLE, COMPLETE), throughly FURNISHED unto ALL good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17/Emphasis Mine. 

“Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine” 1 Timothy 4:13. 

“Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they FOUND him in the temple, SITTING in the midst of the DOCTORS, both HEARING them, and ASKING them QUESTIONS . . .52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:41-52. 

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that NEEDETH not to be ASHAMED, rightly DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15 (Emphasis Mine).
