Hello CHRISTIAN Men – WORDS Matters: Keep Speaking GRACIOUS WORDS To Your Wife And Other Women Out THERE In Your Life! 

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH; you are TAKEN by THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV. 

“HOLD FAST the FORM of SOUND WORDS, which thou hast heard of me, in FAITH and LOVE which is in Christ Jesus. 14 That GOOD THING which was committed unto thee KEEP by the Holy Ghost which DWELLETH in us” 2 Timothy 1:13-14. 

Are you a godly spirited and hearted man? And if YES, are you speaking gracious WORDS toward others, especially towards your wife and the women around you? Or you are a mean, childish loosed mouthed boy-man who speaks some OUTRAGEOUS and DEPRAVED words to your wife and other women that are out THERE around your life sphere? Have you ever thought that as a man that WORDS MATTERS, and any OUTRAGEOUS, DEMEANING and DEROGATORY words are very much unnecessary no matter the level of elemental things that THE she woman must have done? Do you know or realise that you are the CUSTODIAN of what you say – be it good or evil, especially as a Christian man? Do know for sure, that it’s out of the NURSERY and NURSED WORDS in your hearts, that your mouth speaks – be it the good or evil.  

“For every TREE is KNOWN by his own FRUIT. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD; and an EVIL man out of the EVIL treasure of his HEART bringeth FORTH that which is EVIL: FOR OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:44-45. 

“Let no CORRUPT communication PROCEED out of your MOUTH, but that which is GOOD to the use of EDIFYING, that it may MINISTER GRACE unto the HEARERS” Ephesians 4:29/Amplified. 

As I picture Jesus Christ this morning and moment, the author and finisher of our FAITH in God, I could recall over and over again in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT how He speaks and answers to many matters that would have made Him to have an outburst [Hebrews 12:2; Hebrews 1:1-4]. The graciousness and gracefulness of His choice words calms down matters and send the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay for the good of OTHERS about Him. Even at a very temperamental point of testing of His life, He was gracious to the end. 

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

“Hereafter I WILL NOT TALK MUCH WITH YOU: for the PRINCE of this world cometh, and HATH NOTHING in me” John 14:30. 

“The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and TEMPTING desired him that He would shew them a sign from heaven . . .” Matthew 16:1-4/ [Mathew 19:3; Matthew 22:35; Mark 8:11; Mark 10:2; Luke 11:16; John 8:6]. 

And as one privileged under God to Pastor and Shepherd in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, hearing from women how some of we men speaks to them, especially to our wives and the women’s around us – speaking to them in a demeaning and derogatory way is becoming appalling in every way on each and every given day. Just because we can’t see eyes to eyes on some COMMON issues doesn’t mean we can’t be civil and maintain a sense of civility in graciousness and gracefulness in the grace – except there’s an element of scriptural ignorance, which makes me wonder if we sincerely do know and understand, when the scripture says we share the same common enabling grace to do life on earth and live godly toward God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. Know full well dearly beloved brother in Christ Jesus, that WORDS MATTERS, hence, every man especially should seek for WISDOM on how and when to speak, especially when addressing your wife or other women around you irrespective. 

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

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

More so, it’s a great act of wisdom to know and understand especially when having differences, to separate ISSUES on discusses from the PERSON. THE ISSUES IN DISCUSSIONS AND THE PERSON’S ARE NOT SAME. So, when you have conflict in ISSUES, don’t MAKE it into a PERSON’S attacking, name calling and such like – simply because the common issue on discusses have not been resolved to anyone satisfactory desire. 

It’s my earnest passion that you may ALWAYS remember this concept explained in context below from today FORWARD, in moving toward an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory for the good and healthy relationship: 

“SMALL, MEAN SPIRITED AND HEARTED MINDS TALKS PERSON’S; BIG, SPIRITED AND HEARTED WISE MINDS TALKS ISSUES IN CONTEXT AND NOT PERSON’S” – Chukie MORSI Snr. 

It’s not in my place to be specific, but if you think you are a GODLY man that eschew EVIL WORDS from your MOUTH and not as a CHILDISHLY boy-man that’s acting out; and can you be mindful how you speak to your wife and the God given women around your life both in private and public settings for WORDS matters in God’s kingdom affairs for the godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

Therefore, I plead with you today to SPEAK wellness and WHOLENESS in order to LIVE well and whole. You can live healthily healthy and whole by your WORDS for your own self good and goodness, and for all around you too – be they male and female – and more especially, to your wife and women within your reach. 

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

“For every TREE is KNOWN by his own FRUIT. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD; and an EVIL man out of the EVIL treasure of his HEART bringeth FORTH that which is EVIL: FOR OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH” Luke 6:44-45. 

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

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

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

“And the TONGUE is a fire, a WORLD of iniquity: so is the TONGUE among our members, that it DEFILETH the whole body, and SETTETH on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 but the TONGUE can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith BLESS we God, even the Father; and therewith CURSE we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same MOUTH proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be” James 3:6-10.

OCCUPY TILL I COME – BY THE WORD  

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME – BY THE WORD: THE HOLY B-I-B-L-E [THE BLESSED-INFORMATION-BRINGING-LIFE-ETERNAL] – WILL HELP YOU! 

“For whatever was WRITTEN in earlier times was WRITTEN for our INSTRUCTION, so that through ENDURANCE and the ENCOURAGEMENT of the Scriptures we might have HOPE and OVERFLOW with CONFIDENCE in His PROMISES” Romans 15:4/Amplified. 

The Holy BIBLE – which is the written Word, the testament, the will and the covenant document of God to mankind, is the only place of ‘THE TRUTH’ – that brings truthful information for transformation and the knowledge for deliverance, complete freedom, restoration and emancipation to all, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“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. 

The Holy Bible may seem to be mysterious to some, but is not a MYSTICAL book, but the PRACTICAL book of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. It’s not A TRUTH that you CONJURE, but THE TRUTH that you PRACTICE – in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY by God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

The WISDOM needed to effectively and purposefully accomplish the “Occupy Till I Come” concept, and makes it tangible – real, and materialise, is in THE WORD. And you can’t OCCUPY to overcome the WORLD system by the WORLD, instead you need the Faith system which is a consequence of the WORD that’s powered by the WISDOM in the WORD to do life and godliness with ease, without sweat and prejudice. For a mere excellency of word does not overcome but the wisdom of the word helps to live victorious, triumphant, more than conquerors and to be an overcomer in the world – that makes one to fully say I am accomplishing the concept instructed and ordered by the Lord God, to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. 

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are CALLED in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let THE WORD of Christ dwell in you richly in ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 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 3:15-17. 

Unlike every other book ever written or to be written, the HOLY BIBLE which contains the word of God, is not burdensome, irksome, grievous and taskmaster as some claim or acclaimed it to be, but it’s the LIBERATING BOOK for and of complete and wholesome freedom. It’s God’s Holy written documents that both INFORMS and TRANSFORMS the reader and user without prejudice, sentiments and discrimination. And it’s the only written documents whose AUTHOR is ever PRESENT to help one know and understand the content amicably and with ease with NO ADULTERATION and CONFUSION. 

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments ARE not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR TASKMASTER)” (1 John 5:3). 

Every other BOOK you READ, but the HOLY BIBLE is the only authentic and living BOOK that READS you, knows you, access and sets you free to give inner peace and tranquillity at the same time at no cost, on the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. And because the WORD of God is not BOUND or leads to bondage, it SETS everyone that comes to its request in their quest in faith with freedom from all forms of addiction, bondage and captivity at no charge. 

“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND.” (2 Timothy 2:9). 

The BIBLE means to me the: –  

(B)BLESSED  

(I)INFORMATION  

(B)BRINGING  

(L)LIFE  

(E)ETERNAL: I therefore urge and plead to you to earnestly crave to – LOVE IT, READ IT, STUDY IT, MEDITATE ON IT and PRACTICE IT, for your good and you’ll find PEACE and FREEDOM that no man can price and prize you with. Hence, I am COMMENDING it to you right now as a friend, because I know it will ANSWER that QUESTION that still hangs about you. It will CHANGE your life and wellbeing for the good, but you have to primarily READ it for yourself in first-hand in order – to know and understand whatever in context; and to safeguard you from external pervert, adulteration and confusion; and to make it happen for your good and goodness without prejudice. 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP, and to GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32. 

I do LOVE the Holy Bible, more and more in each passing moments of READING . . . hence I INTENTIONALLY and DELIBERATELY recommends it now to you. It’s my Highly recommended TRUTH for you – you need to make an effort to READ, KNOW And UNDERSTAND – The HOLY BIBLE. The Author is always present, the Blessed Holy Spirit, to help while you do read and study and meditate upon it to have answers to your quest and experience emancipation at no cost of any sorts as you have faith in Christ Jesus stead. The Holy Bible is an ASSURED book of God’s prophetic WORD without prejudice for the good of all irrespective. 

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made more certain [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from one’s own [personal or special] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified. 

The Holy Bible – The Holy Writ – The Holy Scripture – The WORD of God – is God’s enabling VOICE for your yesterday, today and tomorrow. READ, SEARCH, PONDER and FIND YOUR LIFE PURPOSE IN IT. I sincerely and highly recommend it to you now, for by the WORD of God, you can live to accomplish the concept – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate that’s sets out there for all Believers of God in Christ Jesus, to live toward and be fulfilling, purposefully and meaningfully. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK – Every grace! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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, throughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD WORKS” 2 Timothy 3:16-17. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS (WORDS): and his COMMANDMENTS (WORDS) are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I HAVE ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH MORE THAN MY NECESSARY FOOD.” (Job 23:12). 

“O HOW LOVE I THY LAW! IT IS MY MEDITATION ALL THE DAY. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I HAVE MORE UNDERSTANDING THAN ALL MY TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND MORE THAN THE ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts.” (Psalms 119:97-100). 

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is PREACHED unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA] 

By Leave a Comment

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA]: MAKING THE VICTORY SONGS – HALLELUJAH! HALLELUIA!! ALLELUIA!!! 

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT [GIVE UP, BE WEARY, PANIC, BE ANXIOUS]” Luke 18:1/Emphasis Mine. 

“. . . 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a GOLDEN CENSER; and there was given unto him much INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA], that he should OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the GOLDEN ALTAR which was before THE THRONE. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, WHICH CAME WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD OUT OF THE ANGEL’S HAND . . .” Revelation 8/Emphasis Mine. 

PRAYER – is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus avenue of MINISTERING WORTHILY to the Lord in WORSHIP and SERVING Him ACCEPTABLY while SEEKING His HEAVENLY endorsement and interference for the good, in our EARTHLY affairs; and it is the Believing one’s inescapable and supreme PURPOSE and task toward PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL solutions to human needs, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE created” Revelation 4:11. 

And there’s nothing as lovely, awesome and amazing in knowing and understanding that your PRAYERS go before God’s throne of GRACE as an INCENSE – a PERFUME, FRAGRANCE and AROMA of GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS; and that He BREATHS in your acts of MINISTERING to Him in your WORSHIP and SERVICES in PRAYERS; and the resultant effects are VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and LIGHTNING’S, and an EARTHQUAKE. These METAPHORS indicates how powerful, effectual and awesome results that accompany your PRAYERS to the HEAVENLY for your EARTHLY affairs to be resolved effortless and without sweat. 

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY 

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY: IT’S TO SAVE YOU [US] FROM THE SELF/RELIGIOUS ZEALOT PURPOSE INSTEAD OF GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE! 

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

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

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

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6. 

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

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world: he that followeth me shall not WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT of life” John 8:12. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In Him was LIFE; and THE LIFE was THE LIGHT of men. [5] And THE LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS; and THE DARKNESS comprehended it not . . . [14] And THE WORD was made flesh, 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. 

When the zealous/zealot religious Saul had an encounter with divinity at MIDDAY, he became Apostle Paul. It took God’s “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” – JESUS CHRIST – to outshine the humanity MIDDAY light on Apostle Paul to take him out of his STAND as a RELIGIOUS zealot purposeful person called Saul, to God’s gracious DIVINE purpose person called Apostle Paul. 

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

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

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

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

It’s time to let DIVINITY to SHINE on your earthly affairs if you want to run without sweat and stress. Allowing God’s set “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” TIMELESS timeline on your “MIDDAY” TIMED timeline, will ensure you live to fulfill PURPOSE with God in Christ Jesus stead, meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE. Amen. 

Get connected to God’s SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, and all will be well again. And all things will turn around at your midday into God’s Day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“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 5:21. 

“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. 

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21. 

“You ARE the LIGHT of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16] Let your LIGHT so SHINE before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16/Amplified Classic Edition.

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER ENSURES AND ASSURES YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT IN GRACE! 

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

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

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

And for the BELIEVERS in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT or CHARISMA of doing life and living godly, which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace and life, by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5. This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that formulate one’s character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic endowment, are but not limited to these in Galatians 5:22-23 and 2 Peter 1:5-11 and Philippians 4:8 and Romans 12:9-21 etc.

  • Brotherly Kindness 
  • godliness

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

CHURCH ARISE: THE WORLD NEEDS AN ANSWER 

By Leave a Comment

CHURCH ARISE: THE WORLD NEEDS AN ANSWER – A SENSE OF DIRECTION IN IT’S DARKNESS! 

“For this reason He says, “AWAKE, sleeper, And ARISE from the dead, And Christ will SHINE [as dawn] upon you and give you light.” 15 Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people]” Ephesians 5:14-15/Amplified. 

It’s time to wake up – oh you that sleeps, for God in Christ Jesus will give you lights to enlighten and illuminate your worlds; the question now is – can the Church arise for the good of others in humanity and for such a time of need as today’s world – I meant to the world challenging times everywhere today; for we all wake up daily to hear in the news about WARS and rumours of WARS and failed governments, bad state leadership and corruption, various states of the – hungry, the angry and hurting societies at large. The world needs an answer – and a sense of direction in its darkness, which only the saints can provide an answer. 

“If the FOUNDATIONS [of a godly society] are destroyed, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3/Amplified. 

The world is undergoing a search for identity , self-Worth, discovery and answers to some quests with certain generations that are left behind; and the new generation that are springing up are with burning quest, that requires or requiring an answer in many and if not, all the problems that have befallen them in terms: WARS, BAD GOVERNMENT, FAILED LEADERSHIP, VARIOUS PANDEMIC (SICKNESS AND DISEASES), POVERTY, EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGES, SPIRITUAL ACTUALISATION, TERRORISM, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL MISHAP, BROKEN CIVIL AND CIVIC SOCIETY and many such like. 

The unstable state of the world from any points of the spectrum, tells of a very failing society with the happenings around especially in some quarters- and this unstable world that is now ravens and craven with wars and hunger and climate changes has brought the greatest oppression, suppression, human hopelessness and displacement, and chaotic immigration ever experience in modern times. And of cause the wars, poverty and insecurity and pandemic effect has greater economic instability in many parts of the worlds. Couldn’t this be a warning sign of the last days for the Church to arise and give directions to all the various factions involved. 

Suffice to know that we are living in a time today with the greatest acts of hatred, racism, stigma, terrorism, economic mishaps, unsteady democracy, internal and external wars and wickedness and such like, that’s ever known in human history and modern times. 

Today every corner of the earth cries out for an ANSWER in the various happenings in each continent in spite of the various actions of various groups united under the umbrella of the UNITED NATION and such like. May I say that until leaders of all groups begins to do the reassessment and address these crises from God’s point of view, I can’t see any acts of human endeavours, financial expenditures and investments, humanitarian demands or such like efforts, that will ANSWER to the FULNESS the QUEST, THIRST and HUNGER and CONFUSION in the human search for self-worth and discovery of been a being. 

The human spirit is in crises seeking for an ANSWER to its QUEST that comes only from the creator Himself; which unfortunately, men are only seeking an ANSWER to its QUEST, from the human leadership who can’t fathom it, just as they couldn’t and haven’t’ – in final solution to the continuous MATTERS results to the often economic financial meltdown, pandemic, wars and such like, that’s now a plague in nations today. This is why every effort today of man, keep failing, because – it’s a human tragedy and it requires first a DIVINE ANSWER before the PHYSICAL resolve result can take place eventually. 

Hence, I say today – OH CHURCH ARISE! For you are the righteous ones – the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus stead to stand for the good of humanity under heaven without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]; there’s a great work to be done from our various nucleus community, and there’s no room for the folding of hands until our nations are healed as in the Bible days of old, with God’s injunction and willingness to heal the land – 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“What is man, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED-WORLD – IS A GIVING WORLD! 

“For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16. 

God’s LOVED-WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore, don’t be SELFISH about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous, hoarding and greedy. 

“GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men GIVE into your bosom. For with the SAME MEASURE that ye mete withal it shall be MEASURED to you again” Luke 6:38. 

The LOVED-WORLD of God is made to be liveable, likeable, loveable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In same scenario are the humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and to keep life in check. This cycle keeps life going every day. It’s a GIVING world; hence it’s LOVED-WORLD and it’s LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE. 

“There is the one who [generously] scatters [abroad] and yet INCREASES all the more; And there is the one who WITHHOLDS what is justly due, but it results only in want and poverty. [25] The GENEROUS man [is a source of blessing and] shall be prosperous and enriched, And he who waters will himself be watered [reaping the generosity he has sown]. [2 Cor 9:6-10] [26] The people curse him who holds back grain [when the public needs it], But a BLESSING [from God and man] is upon the HEAD of him who SELLS it” Proverbs 11:24-26/Amplified. 

God so LOVE; He GAVE. Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such like and more to the needy one. 

For it’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER goes down no matter what, this I know so well; and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world. I saw it in my parents as a child, and now, do live experiencing it daily. 

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35. 

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING in order to enjoy the unspeakable gift of God’s given joy that’s in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For God is not UNJUST so as to FORGET your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in MINISTERING to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to SHOW the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Amplified).

RESENTMENT 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY and BADLY; and it’s a mixture of DISAPPOINTMENT, ANGER, WRATH and FEAR. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.  

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE, and to PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you. It is the gracious, beautiful and colourful lesson heard and learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Family, Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership, Gospel Ministry and such like. 

I can boldly affirm that it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMONS ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. [Matthew 5:38-48]. 

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE, and to PRAY for the one you ARE RESENTING or RESENTING you. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and you are PRAYING for and about without expecting results except you are playing and unserious – and especially if you truly want and BELIEVE and EXPECT God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself before God because God cannot be mock [Galatians 6:7-10]; and in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures earnestly do requires and do put a demand on us to love, in order to be the God’s genuine DISCIPLE, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14]. 

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal to do today, you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible, both for yourself and for the good of all, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5-11]. 

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

You need to PLEASE God to make your enemy and cohorts to be at PEACE with you [Proverbs 16:7]. And you can only PLEASE God by FAITH [Hebrews 11:6]. And FAITH only WORKS by LOVE [Galatians 5:6, 13]. And the God’s LOVE is without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – and it’s the antidotes to deal with enemy and cohorts Scripturally [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:36-48]. Hence, you can deal with resentment at the form Scripturally as laid out in the context of discussion if you want solutions God’s way and path and not your self-seeking way and path. 

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:5-11. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Light will always be superior to darkness. The more darkened the brighter the light glows. The strength of light is known in a darkened atmosphere. Light will always outshine darkness at any measure. Light will always overpower darkness. And no matter the strength of any darkness, it cannot and will be able to comprehend [break into process] the enabling power of light superiority. 

“. . . 5 And the LIGHT shineth in DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS COMPREHENDED it not” 1 John 1:1-5. 

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

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

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

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

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

Blessed regards. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
