THE NEED TO PRAY

By Leave a Comment

THE NEED TO PRAY: PRAYING IS HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE GOD ON HIS WORD – AND KNEELING INDICATES BEING PURPOSEFUL, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING AND MORE! 

“We should PRAY when we are in a PRAYING mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should PRAY when we are not in a PRAYING mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition.” – Charles Spurgeon. 

There’s the NEED to PRAY and the NEED in making it your PERSONAL AND INESCAPABLE OBLIGATION and not SOMEONE else. Don’t be a PRAYER DISTRIBUTOR person and or COLLECTION CENTRE, but a KNEELING Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For KNEELING indicates – Winning, Dominion, Thriving, Victory, Overcoming, Triumph and More Than CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

In the PRAYER acts of C. Spurgeon, I have met people with the URGE to PRAY but took the opportunity for granted for other activities and had suffered the consequences of their spiritual neglects. 

I’ve met also people who create no time to see praying or prayers as their SPIRITUAL responsibility and accountability, and have had the consequences of taking their spiritual responsibility and accountability for granted. 

However, I’ve seen people who took time to PRAY when the urge to PRAY is done on them, and who also take PRAYERS and PRAYING as their personal spiritual responsibility and accountability and not someone else, even when the urge is not there; and through PRAYERS, they have averted adversities and kept at bay the ENEMY and COHORTS; and through PRAYERS, the good and goodness of God’s BLESSEDNESS have come their way and that of others they had prayed along for and with, quietly and or publicly. 

Don’t take your act of PRAYERS and PRAYING for granted. Don’t make it someone else RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITY – make them yours. It’s time to know your God and be with Him in PRAYERS to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay and have the heavens at your answer. 

There’s the need to PRAY – for PRAYING is humbling yourself before God on His WORD – and KNEELING indicates PURPOSEFULNESS, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in CHRIST JESUS stead. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11. 

“And in the morning, RISING up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35. 

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 AND AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29. 

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command THE LOCUSTS to devour the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

NO MATTER THE NEVERTHELESS AND THE NOTWITHSTANDING OF YOUR SITUATIONS TODAY: STAY FAITHFUL IN PRAYERS – THERE’S AN ANSWER WITH GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18/Emphasis Mine. 

Dear friend, be ASSURED and KNOW full well, that in Christ Jesus stead, no matter the NOTWITHSTANDING and the NEVERTHELESS you’ve found yourself at this very moment in life – You don’t need to FAINT, GIVE UP, BE WEARY, LOOSE HEARTS, BE UNFAITHFUL to the principles of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus because of your current challenges. You need to take the bull by the horns, knowing it’s in all goodness, graciousness and gracefulness for you to just stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS – which is the CONSULTATION LIFELINE with God, until your ANSWERS comes. 

THERE’S A MIRACLE for you in God’s BLESSEDNESS if you can take the needed and needful step of FAITH in God. For with God – ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE – [Matthew 19:26]. And ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to you and to all Who BELIEVE God by FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – [Mark 9:23]. 

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is IMPOSSIBLE; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26. 

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23. 

Do you truly and earnestly BELIEVE the possibility God as Simon Peter fully Believe of God’s WORD to launch into the deep for a catch – the catch that comes on obeying Christ Jesus demands? [Luke 5:1-11]. Thus, indicating that God will always COMMEND what He COMMAND. That should be your personal ANSWER to that QUEST you earnestly desire to turn around today no matter your situations. For we OUGHT to PRAY and not FAINT – and God seek a heart of FAITHFULNESS in all situations [Luke 18:1-8]. 

“. . . 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 . . .” Luke 5:1-11. 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18/Emphasis Mine. 

There are many occasions wherein we are at crossroads one way or the other. The natural thing to do in most cases is by tending to go down to Egypt because of the FAMINE of life as Isaac of Abraham in Genesis 26:1-6. But if you can take a stand on God’s WORD as he was instructed by God, therein he waxed great and went on to become very greater in the fulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS that took it’s hold in him as in Genesis 26:12-14 (Genesis 26). 

There’s the need to stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS no matter the nevertheless and the notwithstanding of your situations today; for there’s an ANSWER with God in Christ Jesus stead. Take the NOTWITHSTANDING and NEVERTHELESS position stand in PRAYERS, to deal with everything that stands in your part of BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I will therefore that MEN PRAY EVERY WHERE, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING . . . 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 NOTWITHSTANDING she shall be SAVED in CHILDBEARING, if they continue in FAITH and CHARITY and HOLINESS with SOBRIETY” 1 Timothy 2:8-15. 

“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL; 13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 NEVERTHELESS to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26 that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again” Philippians 1:12-26. 

Further Notwithstanding Scriptural Reading: James 2:14-26; 2 Timothy 4:14-18; Acts 24:1-9; Luke 10:1-24; Matthew 17:24-27; Matthew 11:7-15.

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH – A PART OF THE CHURCHES OF GOD! 

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not prevail against it . . .” Matthew 16:14-20. 

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

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

The CHURCH is NOT the CATHEDRAL or STRUCTURAL BUILDING or DENOMINATIONISED CREED OR RELIGIOUS INCLINATION of any kind that you may think. For YOU ARE the Church and a part of THE CHURCHES of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE a member in particular of the body of Christ Jesus [1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 5:22-33] – which means you ARE one of the Church of the Churches that the Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus, is building, the Church that’s been saved and washed by His blood, and had been REDEEMED from every kindred, nation, tongue, people and of irrespective of any measures [Matthew 16:18; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10]. 

You ARE that God’s building, that’s undergoing His works 24/7, ascribed as a HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people, a CHOSEN generation and a ROYAL priesthood, that has received mercies and set to show forth the praise of Him that has called you from darkness into His marvellous light of fellowship with Saviour and Lord – Christ Jesus. Amen [1 Peter 2:9-10; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 3:8-9]. You ARE God’s temple, His dwelling place [1 Corinthians 6:19-20]. You ARE of God and He lives in you. You are the dwelling of the Holy Godhead, and the greater one resides in you. That’s awesomeness, graciousness, gracefulness and BLESSEDNESS indeed. 

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the world . . .6 We ARE of God: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby KNOW we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4, 6. 

It’s a high time you know who you ARE and ARE BECOMING of God in Christ Jesus stead; otherwise, you may be subject to the SECTARIANISM and DENOMINATIONALISM and RELIGIOSITY that’s embedded in the tradition of men, the make-belief and dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy that leads to further BONDAGES and not after Christ Jesus stead. When you know you are the Church, you won’t be having infighting as the Corinthians Churches who compete, compare and lay claims to dominance as to saying – “I am of Paul or I am of Apollos” that they nearly ruined their faith of God in Christ Jesus. Even today, many have subjected themselves to – “I am of this DENOMINATION, and of that SECTARIANISM or and of that Apostle or Prophet or Pastor and such like, than to being after Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, as His Church, a part of the Churches of God in Him. 

“. . . 6 As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in him: 7 ROOTED and BUILT up in him, and STABLISHED in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and NOT AFTER Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily. . .” Colossians 2:1-23. 

“. . . 3 For ye are yet CARNAL: for whereas there is among you ENVYING, and STRIFE, and DIVISIONS, are ye not CARNAL, and WALK AS MEN? 4 For while one saith, I AM OF PAUL; AND ANOTHER, I AM OF APOLLOS; ARE YE NOT CARNAL? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase . . .” 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 

Gathering at the structural building is Scripturally good, needful and helpful but it’s not the Church. It’s you, your PRESENCE in that place and with OTHERS that makes the building in terms “the Church and the CHURCHES” per se, otherwise it could be any hall or places of doing life also like restaurants, Office, Leisure centre etc. 

“NOT FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25. 

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24. 

Know for certainty, that the Church, is made up firstly, of the individual – you, then the local – group gathering otherwise called assembly and the universal body, of the born of God in Christ Jesus, under a shepherd. This is worth noting as you do life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. The Church/Churches is/are not reckoned by any religion or religious or religiosity attached to a set denomination and affiliates, but as a body, living under God in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit leads and leadership, through the living WORD of God. 

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, for you ARE the CHURCH that Father God is building in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore if ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Emphasis Mine). 

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND on earth shall be BOUND in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE on earth shall be LOOSED in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:14-20. 

“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For WE ARE LABOURERS together with God: ye ARE God’s HUSBANDRY, ye ARE God’s BUILDING” 1 Corinthians 3:8-9. 

“and what agreement hath the TEMPLE of God with idols? for ye ARE the TEMPLE of the living God; as God hath said, I will DWELL in them, and WALK in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people” 2 Corinthians 6:16. 

“Know ye not that ye ARE the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man defile the TEMPLE of God, him shall God destroy; for the TEMPLE of God is holy, which TEMPLE ye ARE.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-20. 

“What? know ye not that your body is the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye HAVE of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore GLORIFY God in your BODY, and in your SPIRIT, which ARE God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

BE HEALED AND WHOLE

BE HEALED AND WHOLE: THE WORD HEALS AND GIVES HEALTH TODAY! 

“He sent His WORD, and HEALED them, and DELIVERED [RESCUED, SAVED] them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20. 

The WORD of God heals and keeps one healthy in life for today, tomorrow and always [Hebrews 13:8] and from every form of destruction as you endeavour to believe, and lay hold on the word unreservedly today. So, I say to you, be HEALED and WHOLE, for the WORD administers HEALING and HEALTH as by the scriptures. Your only path to healing, and health victory and sustainability is for you to BELIEVE the WORD, MEDITATE on the WORD and DECLARE the WORD in order to ADMINISTER the word to your WELL-BEING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the WORD of God sent to heal us and to keep us in health is Jesus, who became flesh in humanity for our own good [1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14, 17]. And FAITH on the WORD that gives salvation gives healing and health likewise and accordingly and unreservedly, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

“For I will RESTORE HEALTH unto thee, and I will HEAL THEE OF THY WOUNDS, saith the Lord; because they CALLED thee an OUTCAST, saying, This is ZION, whom no man seeketh after” Jeremiah 30:17. 

“For I will RESTORE HEALTH to you And I will HEAL YOUR WOUNDS,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they have CALLED you an OUTCAST, saying: “This is ZION; no one SEEKS her and no one CARES for her.” Jeremiah 30:17 AMPLIFIED. 

It’s your BLESSEDNESS to ENACT your REDEMPTION DEED in Christ Jesus stead, by your FAITH in the healing and health scriptures – For by His STRIPES you ARE HEALED and MADE WHOLE – Amen. So, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! For God’s earnest desire and plan is to have us healed and to be in health [3 John 1:2]. He wants us to be WELL – HEALED AND WHOLE; and this comes by us, administering the healing and health Scriptures accordingly – that is, to BELIEVE on THE WORD, to MEDITATE on THE WORD and to DECLARE THE WORD, thereby administering THE WORD into our WELL-BEING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE on it day and night, that you may OBSERVE and DO according to all that is written in it. For then you shall MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then you shall deal WISELY and have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8/Amplified Classic Edition. 

It’s my PRAYER, that this day and now, it’s your day to be WELL And WHOLE as you COMMUNICATE your FAITH to your being for wholeness in Jesus’ healing Name, Amen. 

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION (ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, DECLARATION) of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (RESULTS ORIENTED, PRODUCTIVE) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis Mine). 

I want you to prayerfully and boldly declare by communicating your healing and health to your being, through the Holy SCRIPTURES that are written for you in mind, as you ACKNOWLEDGE all the healing good that God has and has done in you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. When you INCLINE your ears to God’s SAYINGS by FAITH, other SAYINGS becomes IRRELEVANT and your miracle comes as you take your stand in GRACE in Christ Jesus stead, in God. Amen. Romans 5:1-2; Proverbs 4:20-23. 

You need to believe the SCRIPTURAL WORD in CONTEXT as you read and study the WORD. For to BELIEVE the WORD is to CONCEIVE the WORD in your spirit being. Then MEDITATE – that’s to PONDER – on the WORD. Then DECLARE to ADMINISTER – that’s to COMMUNICATE, PROCLAIM, ANNOUNCE – your FAITH on what you BELIEVE on the WORD with your MOUTH to that ILLNESS – SICKNESS and such like ‘NESSES that makes you SICK, and that DISEASE – that makes you UN-EASE. For to be DIS-EASED is to be UN-EASED. For therein, your health and healing – wellness and wholeness – is come and coming in God’s – JEHOVAH-RAPHA name, in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“My son, pay ATTENTION to MY WORDS and be willing to learn; Open your EARS to MY SAYINGS. 21 Do not let them escape from your sight; Keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, And HEALING and HEALTH to all their FLESH. 23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life” Proverbs 4:20-23 Amplified. 

I pray that as you meditate and make an EMBOLDENED declaration – communication – of FAITH upon these Health and Healing SCRIPTURES, may you be HEALED and WHOLE in Jesus’ precious name, Amen. Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; 1 John 4:17-18. 

For at the NAME of JESUS – ALL FLESH, ALL THINGS, ALL KNEE, ALL MOUTH and ALL CREATION ANSWERS to the call for your health and healing well-being as it’s written but not limited: 

  1. There’s POWER over ALL FLESH –John 17:1-3.
  2. There’s POWER to SUBDUE ALL THINGS –Philippians 3:20-21.
  3. There’s POWER to make ALL KNEE BOW and ALL MOUTH CONFESS to God’s Sovereignty in Christ Jesus stead –Philippians 2:9-11.
  4. There’s Power To make ALL CREATIONsubmitin worship and adoration – Revelation 4:1-11 (vs 11); Revelation 5:1-14 (vs 12-14). 

Just know for sure and certainly that GOD Loves You and cares about you. Therefore, FEAR not, for AS HE IS, so you OUGHT to be in this world – in HEALTH and WHOLENESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 John 4:17. 

“Herein is our love MADE perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of JUDGMENT: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but perfect love CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18. 

FAITHFUL IS HE THAT PROMISED, AND HE WILL DO IT ACCORDINGLY FOR YOU. AMEN.

“That Christ may DWELL in your hearts by faith; that ye, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [SENSES], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine. 

I sincerely welcome you to the EMMANUEL month – DECEMBER 2024; It is the Month to experience the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, that transcends the reasoning of the senses [see, hear, feel/touch, smell and taste] – that’s the LOVE OF GOD WITH US that’s beyond sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation; and it’s the month of experiencing, expressing and enacting the genuity of – THE LOVE OF GOD THAT’S BEYOND KNOWLEDGE – in Christ Jesus that’s dwelling WITH us as IN us and FOR us. So therefore, under God and in God’s divine names in Christ Jesus, I hereby WELCOME you with the hearts of love in Christ Jesus stead, to join me in EMMANUEL MONTH – month DECEMBER 2024 that’s entitled “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus; it is the month for us to KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCEND SENSE KNOWLEDGE as we do life and godly living in the Month with this knowing and understanding that it is also: 

THE COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATIONS OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS AND HIS REDEMPTION CAUSE ON EARTH TO ALL MANKIND. 

I am fully persuaded and excited, knowing and understanding by God’s enabling grace that the month DECEMBER as entitled – “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus, is beyond the beyond human sense knowledge. And it is about EMMANUEL, the God WITH US and the God IN US and the God FOR US, which is the person of JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, The SAVIOUR and The LORD – that’s BORN in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit that’s given and lavished to us, in order to express the God’s love that’s beyond knowledge – senses in our being. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD is shed [lavished] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN UNTO US. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ DIED for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8. 

The Month DECEMBER 2024, as we all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happens to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal: 

The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury. 

The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In most cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection. 

This number can also represent the CHURCH and FAITH in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God. 

Month DECEMBER is a unique month in many ways and respect in terms of been the twelve months as mentioned and described above. It’s also a gracious month to enhance the goodness and BLESSEDNESS of the BEAUTY of God’s work in humanity as per the Scriptural writ of the month DECEMBER as theme and entitled: 

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall CALL his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23. 

“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN” Luke 2:11-14. 

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20. 

Upon the basis of the SCRIPTURES above, I therefore say to you in the name of the Lord God, that by – THIS DAY – BEING TODAY, LET EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD IN JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, THE SAVIOUR AND LORD GOD – BE BORN IN YOUR HEARTS as you do life to live godly as themed: 

“EMMANUEL! THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US”  

The theme as stated is of EMMANUEL – The GOD WITH US. For EMMANUEL indicates – THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE that’s WITH US – and thus signifies God dwelling (or had come to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP between us and Him that’s built on love and the love of the Fatherhood of God, making a family in Christ Jesus. For we lost this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP in the Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS THE CHRIST, has RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, which was and is made possible, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man” Ephesians 3:14-16. 

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the EMMANUEL, the MESSIAH, the SAVIOUR, the REDEEMER and the HOLY ONE of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption. 

We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP of GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus, so that we might enjoy God and the heavens RELATIONSHIP on earth again; so we can say that as “HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” and can joyfully ask of HIS WILL to be done in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth, as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 4:17 and Matthew 6:10. 

“Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17. 

“Thy KINGDOM come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” Matthew 6:10. 

This then is the REASON for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which is: 

“The Yearly and Annual COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on EARTH” for the good of ALL mankind.” 

And it is as we EXPLORE His LOVE in His PRESENCE in this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP of JESUS – THE CHRIST, who is our God EMMANUEL, we can then ENACT Him in IN us, FOR us and WITH us; and when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered alright in this essence of God EMMANUEL, we can then enjoy to the FULNESS, the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore. Amen. [Psalms 16:11; Psalms 65:11-13/NLT; 1 Corinthians 1:9]. 

Therefore today, as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let’s take advantage of the indwelling LOVE of God in EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, in order to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in FELLOWSHIP and in our path of life to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness. 

Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US – in the person of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen. 

Be BLESSED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

BE A VOICE AND NOT AN ECHO

BE A VOICE AND NOT AN ECHO: A VOICE OF – HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE – TO OUR WORLD! 

“For the EYES of the Lord RUN TO and FRO throughout the WHOLE EARTH, to SHEW HIMSELF STRONG in the BEHALF of them whose HEART is PERFECT toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars” 2 Chronicles 16:9. 

It’s high time that you step up to be a VOICE of strength and assurance; for God is in the need, and seeking for a VOICE not an ECHO to today’s world challenges in Christ Jesus; and not just a mere voice, but a VOICE of HOPE, of FAITH and of LOVE, that answers the questions in our worlds of doing life and godly living in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

God’s gracious EYES is going to and fro through the earth and in the business of making and raising a VOICE that will speak forth God’s WORD graciously and gracefully to the worlds WILDERNESS about them, with an ANSWER of the WORD of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE. And I dare you to join the journey today to be God’s voice. But it’s known that God is not about in the ECHOES, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS that are out there distorting or will distort the GOSPEL GOOD WILL for the worlds about them and their community. 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether IN PRETENCE, or IN TRUTH, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18. 

For God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION; and where His Spirit is at work, there is LIBERATION, WHOLENESS, PEACE and FREEDOM; and He’s not involved in the CONFUSION that’s resulting to SCHISM and FALSEHOODS today. God is not confused neither does He confuse His own, so are His VOICE in use too. 

“For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of PEACE, as in all churches of the saints” 1 Corinthians 14:33. 

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, THERE IS LIBERTY [LIBERATION]” 2 Corinthians 3:17/Emphasis Mine. 

“Wherefore I GIVE YOU TO UNDERSTAND, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus ACCURSED: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost” 1 Corinthians 12:3. 

When people are in life’s VALLEYS and the MOUNTAINS and HILLS seem so high; and the life roads seem so ROUGH; and the path of life seems so CROOKED – what they need is a VOICE not the ECHOES, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS to speak into their life. They need a VOICE, such that the Mountain and hills become a plain, the valley is exalted, the rough places become smooth, and the crooked road path becomes straight. Isaiah 40:3-5. 

And today I am asking you – Are you then a VOICE or one of the ECHOES, CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS? Won’t you LOVE to be God’s VOICE to the worlds wilderness about you, especially to your family, friends, colleagues and the community you surround yourself with? Examine yourself within and make it right today to be the Gospel GOOD WILL VOICE in use. Be a VOICE in today’s world and not one of the ECHOES, a CONFUSIONIST and NOISE MAKERS. God is in the making of a VOICE as you. A VOICE with NO VILE in the MOUTH, but GRACIOUS and PRECIOUS within. And If you intend to be God’s MOUTHPIECE, His earthly VOICE vessel, there is the need to empty the VILE from the PRECIOUS within. For out of the abundance of the hearts, a VOICE is known by the heavens to be His MOUTH piece. 

“And all bare him WITNESS and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22. 

THERE IS THE NEED FOR A VOICE NOT AN ECHO IN TODAY’S WORLD – ESPECIALLY IN THE WILDERNESS OF LIFE – BE THE GOSPEL VOICE – AN ANSWER TO YOUR WORLD.

“A good man out of the GOOD TREASURE of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the EVIL TREASURE of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:45 (Matthew 12:34). 

“And all bare him WITNESS and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22. 

“Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the PRECIOUS from the VILE, thou shalt BE AS MY MOUTH: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” Jeremiah 15:19. 

“For the EYES of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to SHEW HIMSELF STRONG in the BEHALF of them whose HEART is PERFECT toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars” 2 Chronicles 16:9. 

“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituræa and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, THE WORD of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the WILDERNESS. 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The VOICE of one crying in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every VALLEY shall be FILLED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be brought LOW; and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH ways shall be made SMOOTH; 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God” Luke 3:1-6. 

“The VOICE of him that crieth in THE WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be made LOW: and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH places PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together: for the MOUTH of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

THIS MONTH DECEMBER

By Leave a Comment

THIS MONTH DECEMBER: THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS – IS BEING COMMEMORATED AND CELEBRATED! 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

CHRIST JESUS – He’s the reason for the season. He’s the reason for the celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can be efficacious. And He’s THE WORD, the GOD MANIFEST in humanity [John 1:14]. The WORD that’s able to do wholesome division and separation, of the human spirit, soul and body respectively; and all creatures are laid before Him [THE WORD] to do life and live godly [Hebrews 4:12-13]. He’s THE WORD that the Holy Angel’s harkened unto in life and grace [Psalms 103:20]. He’s the sent one of the trinity God, who came for humanity good and goodness and there’s NO CONTROVERSY of any sorts about Him. 

“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” Galatians 4:3-5. 

“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. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

For me, when you take away Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’. 

CHRISTMAS means – A yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love to mankind in the birth of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His cause on earth. 

CHRIST means – The anointed one, Messiah, Saviour, The Redeemer and more; while MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate. 

Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of: 

  • Peace and goodwill toward men 
  • Hope, Faith and Love for men 
  • Fellowship and Relationship  
  • Salvation for all mankind and more. 

However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned. He’s no longer: 

  • The babe in the manger 
  • The servant to death 
  • The limited one and 
  • The Christ on the Cross. 

He’s now the: 

  • God on the throne 
  • Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful) 
  • Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and 
  • Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise). 

May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this month December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration.

“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. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING unto the voice of his WORD” Psalms 103:20. 

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the COMPLETENESS of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and JUDGING the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 Amplified. 

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30. 

“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” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: “THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE” 

By Leave a Comment

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: “THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE” – THE ‘LOVE’ OF THE SIXTH SENSE – CALLED AGAPE! 

There’s THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE, which operates by FAITH in God’s WORD – it’s called AGAPE LOVE. This love of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s sustained and maintained by same Holy Spirit, hence it knows no stress, weariness or limited or conditioned by any ‘nesses; as such there’s NO room for selfishness, wickedness, maliciousness and greediness. It’s the love of God that transcends the five senses, called – THE SIXTH SENSE LOVE – THE LOVE BEYOND KNOWLEDGE. 

“And to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SUPERCEDES, SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19/Emphasis Mine. 

HEREIN ARE FEW THINGS TO NOTE OF THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE: 

  • Its embodiments are HOPE and FAITH for functionality. 
  • It’s love built on principle, it’s intentional, unconditional and boundless. 
  • It transcends the natural or material worlds of the five senses. 
  • It’s the more excellent way to communicate to God and man in God’s terms. 
  • It enriches all things, transcends culture, religion, colour, tradition, generation and gender. Simply because it’s of God and God is love. 
  • It answers every quest of man, and it’s not fathom by the five senses or limited by it. 

Therefore, this LOVE of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5, 8. 

And as you go about doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus, I PRAY that you will come to know and experience this love of God that’s – spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable, practicable – and way beyond sentiments, prejudice, dissimulation, doctrine, denomination, sectarianism, colour, tongue and such like. The love that inspires, reveals, and empowers.  

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in ONE WORD, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14. 

“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. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US” Romans 5:5-8. 

“Let LOVE be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another . . .” Romans 12:9-21.

IT’S MONTH DECEMBER – THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEALTHY FRIENDSHIP

IT’S MONTH DECEMBER – THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEALTHY FRIENDSHIP: ENSURING YOU HAVE A BETTER ENDING OF THE YEAR, AND NOT A BITTER ENDING TASTE! 

“I am CONVINCED and CONFIDENT of this very thing, that He who has BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU will [CONTINUE to] PERFECT and COMPLETE it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]” Philippians 1:6/Amplified. 

It’s my heartfelt love and PRAYERS in the grace, that you have a better ending of the year, and not a bitter ending taste, as you’ve stepped into this month DECEMBER that’s entitled: “JESUS CHRIST OUR EMMANUEL – THE SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US IN THE GRACE!”. 

The Month DECEMBER, as we all know, is the Month TWELVE [12] of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happens to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this knowing, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few but not limited concept for your perusal: 

  • The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury. 
  • The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of twelve [12] Disciples who became Apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing to signals one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In most cases, number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection. 
  • This number can also represent the CHURCH and FAITH in general. It can also be used as a symbol of divine rule, and the symbol of the perfect government of God. 

More so, the month DECEMBER is a unique month in many ways and respect in terms of been the twelve months mentioned and described above. It’s also a gracious month to enhance the goodness and BLESSEDNESS of the BEAUTY of God’s redemptive work in humanity, as per the Scriptural writ of the month DECEMBER as theme and entitled: 

“Now the BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall SAVE his people from their sins . . . 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall CALL his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:18, 21, 23. 

And by the reason of the entitled theme for month December, I am using this special moment to SALUTE you as a FRIEND to this CROWNING, HAPPY, BLESSED and JESUS CHRIST – OUR EMMANUEL month DECEMBER that’s entitled – the month of enacting “OUR SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US” is the foundation and fundamental to build upon for today and tomorrow and to all eternity. 

And I strongly wish you also in this month DECEMBER, the God’s goodness and abundance, to CROWN the year in this celebration and consummation month of Christmas, and to have BETTER ENDING of the year, and not a BITTER ENDING as written: 

“BETTER is the END of a THING than the BEGINNING thereof: and the PATIENT in spirit is BETTER than the PROUD in spirit. 9. Be not HASTY in thy spirit to be ANGRY: for ANGER RESTETH IN THE BOSOM OF FOOLS. 10 SAY NOT THOU, What is the CAUSE that the FORMER days were BETTER than THESE? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:8-10. 

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths drop FATNESS [ABUNDANCE]. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the WILDERNESS: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-23/Emphasis Mine. 

In this CONSUMMATION and CROWNING of the year of the Lord – DECEMBER 2025, you need to know that it’s not OVER yet until God says it’s OVER with you and for you, as in this entitled month of JESUS CHRIST OUR EMMANUEL! OUR SAVIOUR AND GOD WITH US ” in the grace. Therefore, don’t postpone and give up, or get angry and get upset, or get worried and close in, or close up and afraid, or to procrastinate to yourself on having a gracious and graceful ending by saying BETTER DAYS OR MONTH IS GONE; for by saying such, thus indicates not a WISE SCRIPTURAL SAYING and STATEMENT of exercise of faith in God’s ability to make it up for you. For having faith in God who is faithful to His promises to you even to the last seconds of the day is very important as written: 

“Let us seize and hold tightly the CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE WITHOUT WAVERING, for He who promised is RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY and FAITHFUL [to His word]” Hebrews 10:23/Amplified. 

“FAITHFUL and ABSOLUTELY TRUSTWORTHY is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will FULFILL His call by MAKING you holy, GUARDING you, WATCHING over you, and PROTECTING you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified. 

There’s the need to hold forth unto the mystery of the faith and hope, in trusting in God’s faithfulness to His WORD irrespective of your circumstances; this vitality of our faith in the grace, wherein you stand in Him, should be ensured and assured, in order to make the BLESSEDNESS of God, which is of the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to become our reality and tangibility as promised.  

“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. 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

I therefore rather ask you as a Believer of God in Christ Jesus stead to SAY to YOURSELF now and always for any dawn day: 

I AM GOING TO HAVE A BETTER ENDING AND NOT A BITTER ENDING WITH JESUS CHRIST MY EMMANUEL, MY SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US IN THE GRACE IN MONTH DECEMBER 2025. 

And More importantly, the knowing and understanding that EMMANUEL means the GOD WITH US, will be COMMEMORATED and CELEBRATED this Month DECEMBER, in order to enact – God’s LOVE for us as expressed in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth – is an essence that should make you to rise up with me in hope and assurance in the faith, toward an onward and upward trajectory; and to shout out JOYFULLY with an EXCEEDINGLY great joy, by giving an outstanding Hurrah – HALLELUJAH; because you are still here and well and alive to witness and experience the day-in and day-out tangibility of God’s WORD, as it unfolds graciously and gracefully; thus, indicating your PURPOSE in life is still there to fulfil meaningfully by the Holy Spirit within, toward God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for GOOD for those who LOVE God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28-30/Amplified. 

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an INHERITANCE [a DESTINY—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who WORKS EVERYTHING in AGREEMENT with the COUNSEL and DESIGN of His will, [12] so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our CONFIDENCE in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/Amplified. 

“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. 

And for me, the Knowing that you’ve been very great in conduct on this FACEBOOK of the social media platforms without hinges as a friend through the days, weeks and months in the YEAR 2025; I just want to say ‘THANK YOU’ too, for being such special mannered human being, and to have being a well behaved individual, without contrasting to the decorum of respect for others, hence I can let you know that: 

GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES ABOUT YOU, AND EVEN SO DO I, IN HIS STEAD IN CHRIST JESUS – SAVIOUR AND LORD. AMEN. 

And it’s my earnest PRAYERS as I am yet Praying that you will end and close the Year 2025 of EMMANUEL MONTH DECEMBER, in a BETTER and STRONGER POSITION, and not in a BITTER and WEAKER POSITION. And you can say AMEN to God’s FAITHFULNESS with me if, and when you believe as said accordingly in Jesus Christ precious name. Amen. 

Therefore, WELCOME FRIENDS, to the CROWNING, HAPPY and BLESSED month of December 2025 in the Julian and Gregorian calendar months, and to the theme: JESUS CHRIST – OUR EMMANUEL, OUR SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS FOR THE COMMON GOOD 

By Leave a Comment

SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS FOR THE COMMON GOOD: IT’S GRACIOUS TO WILL AND PERFORM THE KINDLY WILL! 

“. . . 22 And it came to pass, that the BEGGAR DIED, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: THE RICH MAN ALSO DIED, and was buried. . .” Luke 16:19-31. 

And as the beggars died, so the rich man died also in the scripture context of Luke 16:19-31. Endeavour to read it in full to understand the context appropriately. And neither the beggar nor the rich took anything along while being buried. The rich man couldn’t used his wealth to buy himself from death, because death is inevitable to all; that’s while your goodness today, should speaks for you while alive, not in terms of pity to the have not, but with a sense of being intentional and pragmatic in response to show and live with every given opportunity, the good hearted and spirited act of kindness to others as opportunely shows up before you. 

“Even those who TRUST in and RELY on their WEALTH And BOAST of the ABUNDANCE of their RICHES? 7 None of them can by any means REDEEM [either HIMSELF or] HIS BROTHER, Nor give to God a RANSOM for him— 8 For the RANSOM of his soul is too COSTLY, And he should CEASE trying forever— 9 So that he should LIVE on ETERNALLY, That he should never see the PIT (GRAVE) and undergo decay.” Psalms 49:6-9/Amplified. 

The rich man had every opportunity to show kindness to the have not beggar, not out of pity but out of care, he never did, because he was full of himself. That’s the symptoms of the rich outside Christ Jesus [Luke 18:18-27; 1 Timothy 6:3-6, 9-10; Luke 12:13-21], and what the arrogant and proudly do, as a means to subjugate and control others. The simple spirit, of the little act of kindness was foreign to him. And like the poor needy beggar, he died leaving everything behind him. That’s the most pathetic life to live, when you have an opportunity to be of a great help to the actual needy one, not the entitlement, lazy and slothful and sluggard one’s I mean. 

“Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the COMMON GOOD; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of “sacrifice”—that take place in KITCHEN and WORKPLACE and on the STREETS” Hebrews 13:16/Message Bible. 

The scriptures enjoin us to help for the common good of all, so that there’s no lacking in our midst. Indicating that we should all bear our own burden firstly, but also be ready to bear each other burden, because having today does necessitates that you will always have all the way. And that’s while, when it’s within you, show the simple hearts of kindness, peradventure if you are not in places of having enough the good measures of the good hearted spirit may be shown to you in the grace. Showing simple hearts of kindness must not be done out of pity but out of care.  

“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are SPIRITUAL [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to RESTORE such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness], keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 2 CARRY ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love] . . . 5 For every person will have to bear [with patience] his OWN BURDEN [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible] . . .10 So then, while we [as individual believers] have the OPPORTUNITY, let us do GOOD TO ALL PEOPLE [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH (born-again believers)” Galatians 6:1-10/Amplified. 

The simple hearts of kindness, sometimes it’s not just about monetary matters always, it could be visitations, rendering business ideas, physical manpower helps, counselling, creating job opportunities for others with your lots instead of storing and hoarding, helping the lonely in bereavement, the abandoned child or children and ophans, empowering the have not for a starts up, intercessory praying along for someone else comforts, helping hands to the elderly, widows and widower’s and many such like. The Scriptures calls it pure [unadulterated] religion. 

“If anyone thinks himself to be religious [scrupulously observant of the rituals of his faith], and does not control his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless (futile, barren). 27 PURE and UNBLEMISHED religion [as it is expressed in OUTWARD ACTS] in the sight of our God and Father is this: to VISIT and LOOK AFTER the fatherless and the widows in their DISTRESS, and to keep oneself UNCONTAMINATED by the [secular] world” James 1:26-27/Amplified. 

It’s of good spirit to be willing to care. The scriptures enjoin that we do all we can to ensure [perform] it. You don’t have to start big or wish big to make significance. A heart of faithfulness in good will starts up will lead to greater heights in an onward and upward trajectory in the path of goodness to the fellow man. You can make that your willingness becomes a performance today to fulfill the scripture as written: 

“Now therefore PERFORM the doing of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that which ye have” 2 Corinthians 8:11. 

I learned to give as God provides in His providence, not because I have it accumulated somewhere, but because I know exactly how it is and feels to have nothing. Do you feel same way or you are off the same attitude of the rich man who wasn’t there to help the beggar in need by his opportunity to help.  

It’s my earnest PRAYERS today that you have a changed hearts to be a vessel of use to show a simple hearted spirit of kindness to those about you without waiting for a special asking when you can see through such need and you are capable to fill the vacuum and help, not out of pity but out of care, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

Be blessed in the grace as you make yourself available towards the good and goodness of others irrespective.

“There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the BEGGAR DIED, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the RICH MAN ALSO DIED, and was BURIED; 23 and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” Luke 16:19-31.
