DO YOU ENVISION TO BE THE BEST: THEN WORK AND WALK AT IT – IT’S GOD’S EXPECTATIONS FROM YOU – BY BEING FAITHFUL! 

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and HAST REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN ON THE EARTH” Revelation 5:9-10. 

Is time to REIGN and RULE in LIFE by the Kingdom settings of God – therefore, STOP the limited mentality of EXISTING and START enacting the redemption act of LIVING. 

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine ENEMIES thy footstool. 2. The Lord shall send the ROD of thy strength out of ZION [THE CHURCH]: RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 Thy people shall be WILLING [VOLUNTEER] in the DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH” Psalms 110:1-3/Emphasis Mine. [Hebrews 12:22-24]. 

Life is for LIVING and not for a mere EXISTENCE. You don’t have to eat to live but to live to eat. If you can’t ENVISION to live by the WORD but by a mere anticipated vision seeing or daydreaming or presume imagination, then life will be in a mere existence and not a living worth, as you may expect or intend to see. 

Know for certainty – YOU ARE REDEEMED, that is, RE-OWNED by God from the grips of SIN – the result for SICKNESS, POVERTY and SPIRITUAL DEATH; and is the redemption that gives the right to LIVE and to reign and rule in life in Christ Jesus stead. When you are by a state of a mere EXISTENCE and not LIVING, you can’t REIGN in life, but when you live by the ENVISIONED Word, you LIVE and reign in life.  

Whatever you do as a profession/career – be FAITHFUL to be the BEST in Life and Grace. Are you a Manson/Bricklayer, Painter, Cook, Tailor/Fashion Designer, Decorator, Singer, Musician, Pastor, Student, Politician, Entrepreneur, Medical Profession, Banker, Lawyer, Civil Servant, Leader of any sorts and such like – be the BEST. Whatever is your kind of SERVICES to humanity that you are excelling or hoping to excel in BECOMING – the question you need to ponder along is – What do you see you BECOME of it to mankind? As far as you can see – insights and foresights – that is, to ENVISION, so can you BECOME in the kingdom – just as father Abraham of our FAITH in Christ Jesus was spoken of, in the Holy Writ of Genesis 13:14-18 [Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14; 26-29]. 

In the kingdom, you are as good as to what you ENVISION and determine to EXCEL to become in it – for the GOOD of mankind. It’s not enough to say I am of this career or profession or calling. How FAITHFUL and GOOD are you working with the enabling grace of God in Christ Jesus, in BECOMING in it – that is, to be the BEST for the GOOD of people, I mean beyond just self-centred and self-gains. And if  you envision to be the best, then work and walk at it – it’s God’s expectations from you – by being FAITHFUL as He’s FAITHFUL in every way in Christ Jesus stead. 

“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2. 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

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

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23. 

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is least is FAITHFUL also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if ye have NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?” Luke 16:10-12. 

It’s not in the best interest of the Christian FAITH for anyone to think they can claim a FIELD (CAREER/PROFESSION) in life when and while they are POORLY and BADLY providing GOODS and SERVICES to people; and they think they can get AWAY with it in the Kingdom even when it appears it’s a norm among many outside of the FAITH. For example, if one says, I am a PAINTER just for the MONETARY GAINS to earn and not necessarily to provide the BEST – GOODS and SERVICES – to people, such can’t become in the kingdom no matter how hard you work your socks off. It’s for this reason of just GAIN above providing corresponding BEST GOODS and SERVICES that there are many people struggling in the Faith despite all the gains gotten. For GAIN is not GODLINESS [GODLY LIVING] in the kingdom and in the grace upon which our faith stands in Christ Jesus stead [1 Timothy 6:5-6]; and God will only reward FAITHFUL stewardship to His WORD – [1 Corinthians 4:1-2; Luke 16:10-12].  

God wants us to EXCEL in life and grace, He however wants us to provide corresponding goods and services to humanity with DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE; also, to ORDERLY and DECENTLY present it. You can only be able to acclaim to EXCEL and REIGN in life and grace in this act of God, if you can ENVISION it. Therefore, ENVISION TO REIGN; and to REIGN through EXCELLENCY. 

Know for sure, that as long as you see men as trees, and not as men, you will hardly bother to be the best in that field. It’s not enough to work to earn a living, envision to see that you provide the goods and services that will have eternal and human effect in men because you are in PARTNERSHIP with God. 

DON’T JUST LIVE: BE ENVISIONED – HAVE INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING. 

I earnestly pray that you will envision to reign in life excellently as you partner with God in the kingdom through the months and years as long as you live, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

In Month NOVEMBER Utilise the Sixth Sense – More Than Just Common Sense! 

It’s our month of appropriating and enacting the acts of LIFE and GODLY LIVING by – The Sixth Sense – More Than Just Common Sense! 

It’s Your time for the SIXTH SENSE, the sense beyond the COMMON SENSE of the – Five Senses: Seeing, Hearing, Touching/Feeling, Tasting and Smelling. 

The SIXTH SENSE is the FAITH SENSE – The mystery Sense held in pure conscience by the Holy Spirit of mystery and Revelation as it’s written: “Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

We need to Do LIFE and Live GODLY by SIXTH SENSE in order to APPROPRIATE and ENACT in essence the FULNESS of the BLESSEDNESS in the HEAVENLY PLACES made available for us on EARTHLY COMMISSION and INTENT, in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-12. 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 FOR BY IT the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:1-3. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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. 

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:3-5.

The Eleventh-Hour MONTH Themed – GOD IS FAITHFUL! 

November is the Eleventh (cardinal number) month of the Julian and Gregorian calendar Months, and eleventh in the colloquial expression of time phrase called “the eleventh hour” is used to talk about doing something (turning things around or things turning around) at the last possible moment when least expected. And for this moment, it’s the UNFOLDING of any notable or assumed FAILURE or Limitation to SUCCESS, TEST to TESTIMONY and MESS or messes to MESSAGE(S).  

For me, SUCCESS, enduring good SUCCESS that defiles odds, is defined in my context as when failure or failed state of being, is turned inside out for ones good in the light of the Scriptures – Joshua 1:8; Luke 5:1-11. It’s the making of the good out of the unexpected point of life journey, that was/is considered a failed place or position. This is possible because GOD IS FAITHFUL and His promises ENDURE forever more. Amen. 

“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 5:4-6. 

Therefore, let NOVEMBER, be the MONTH you endeavour to acknowledge in Christ Jesus stead that – “GOD IS FAITHFUL” – no matter the life circumstances that befalls you, or might have befallen you, in your journey of FAITH in His grace to LIFE and GRACE – GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING. 

More so, let Month NOVEMBER become the Month for your onward and upward trend of THRIVING and ACHIEVING your set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT goals meaningfully and fulfilling, through FAITHFULNESS (being faithful) as God is, in Christ Jesus stead. 

For me, I am a very living proof, epistle and testimony to God’s FAITHFULNESS in all His promises in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. For Great admirable marriages, homes, relationships, career, ministry and businesses are not achieved merely from structural physical design but from human hearts of dedication to the cause of being FAITHFUL all the way in assurance to God’s FAITHFULNESS. The results of being faithful are the prosperity and good success that we all desire. When we make faithfulness an avenue of achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, we promote honesty, decency, integrity and healthy lifestyles in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. 

I plead with you today and even now, to take a new stride of an onward and upward trajectory to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for GOD IS FAITHFUL. Amen. Mark 11:22; 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:22. 

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

“Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the FAITHFUL God, which KEEPETH covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations” Deuteronomy 7:9. 

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

“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS” Lamentations 3:22-23.

THE 11TH HOUR MONTH – MONTH NOVEMBER: THE MONTH OF –  DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING! 

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK WORTHY OF THE VOCATION WHEREWITH YE ARE CALLED, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:1-3. 

The month of DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING, thus indicate – the ESSENCE of Being FAITHFUL in All LABOUR of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in Christ Jesus Stead. For, the month NOVEMBER is set to examine the essence of “DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING” in Christ Jesus stead as we share in the inheritance availed to us by God in Him. The month of NOVEMBER is crucial as any other month in their dawn in the year, because it re-echoes and reminds me as others, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in these settings: 

• FIRSTLY, NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. It is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while in the southern half, it is the last month of spring. 

• SECONDLY, the month of NOVEMBER is one of the months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing of the year to usher in another year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of diligence and productivity toward having a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment, and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up to end strong and stronger, and with outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousness, gracefulness and blessedness toward me, family, ministry and all I care about, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

• And THIRDLY, which is above all thus mentioned in setting, NOVEMBER being the ELEVEN month of the year engages me with the spirit of the ELEVEN PERSONS FOOTBALL TEAM that needs to work together in a common purpose and team spirit; this is, in order to achieve results together as a team rather than as an individual. The team spirit and togetherness, speaks of unity, one accord and one purpose and common focus. And it takes a sense of MATURITY to make such happen. And with such essence, been applied in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business entrepreneurship, governance, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like, we are better at fulfilling our purpose meaningfully together than as lone individuals. For, it’s when we work as a team than as a lone individual, in a common and collective call, that matters in life and grace; this is the how to make us good in all goodness rather than playing the lone person dice. 

“A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM” 

Therefore, to PERFECTING – maturing and completing in fulness – as a Christian and the Church, God had set SOME and not just ONE person’s MINISTERIAL GIFTS to LEAD in His Body Church, rather than ONE person trying to dominate in the Church; and His SPIRITUAL GIFTS are severally GIVEN to all to profit withal; and SPIRITUAL FRUIT of the Spirit are of several component within to make a wholesome character in all. All these mentioned in essence, may be found in the following Scriptures but not limited: Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12:7-31; Galatians 5:22-23; Romans 12:3-8. 

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of – “DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING” in Christ Jesus stead; and may our God find a place in His heart to record your name and make a MEMORIAL of you in ALL LABOURS, in Jesus’ name, amen. 

Therefore, as in Ecclesiastes 9:10, I pray that you will be able to maximise every single opportunity that comes your way to make an investment WORTH REMEMBERING as it’s written: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest”. It thus means that in ALL LABOURS of doing life and living godly, be it in regards to the expending of finance, talent, time, physique, ideals, and as such like, that you may be led by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God – that you do it with all graces of FAITH within you in Christ Jesus stead. This NOVEMBER context theme is the challenging opportunity to create a remarkable print in life, in God’s grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

I do PRAY for you today, in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God grant you an abundant entrance of grace to LABOUR in His stead in Christ Jesus for His reward, that’s WORTH REMEMBERING, not only for this time but for the rest of the life in humanity, in the context of the scriptures of Hebrews 13:20-21 and Jude 1:24-25 and Romans 16:25-25 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. And may as you meditate upon them, accordingly, may you experience God’s inspiring, revealing, and empowering grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead, now and always until He returns, in these SCRIPTURAL injunctions: 

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21. 

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25. 

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen” Romans 16:25-25. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. 

I pray you have an amazing, awesome, and majestic daily grace and provisions through this month of NOVEMBER; while working worthy in the vacation wherein you are called of God in Jesus precious name. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL READING WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . but the people that do KNOW their God shall be strong, and DO EXPLOITS” Daniel 11:32. 

“Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the RIGHTEOUS and the WICKED, between him that SERVETH God and him that SERVETH him not” Malachi 3:16-18. 

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not slothful, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12. 

“Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a MEMORIAL of her” Matthew 26:13. 

“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 26. Put me in REMEMBRANCE: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified” Isaiah 43:25-26. 

“Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your WORK SHALL BE REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7. 

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your LABOUR IS NOT IN VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58. 

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may REST FROM THEIR LABOURS; AND THEIR WORKS DO FOLLOW THEM” Revelation 14:13. 

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that ye might WALK WORTHY of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness” Colossians 1:9-11. 

“Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have LEFT ALL, and have FOLLOWED thee. 29 And Jesus ANSWERED and SAID, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 30 but he shall RECEIVE AN HUNDREDFOLD NOW IN THIS TIME, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the WORLD TO COME ETERNAL LIFE” Mark 10:28-30.

PLEASING GOD IN November: By The 6th Sense – More Than Just Common Sense! 

Common sense is the sense wherein the FLESH detects life goals – meaning the operating realm of the five senses – See, hear, feel, taste and smell. 

This realm of the five senses can’t and does not PLEASE God. PLEASING God unfolds the manifold promised intent of God for an individual and His people – the Believers in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Do you love to PLEASE God? Then switch over to the 6TH SENSE, the realm of FAITH revelation by the Holy Spirit built on the revealed WORD of God. You can’t miss pleasing God in this REALM. A realm wherein all the heavenly stored promised blessing of God are made manifest and operative to meet the expected and intended – Plan, Purpose and Pursuit – for your predestined life and godly living. 

God REWARDS His people through the 6th Sense via the human spirit on the Holy Spirit inspired, revealed and empowered WORD. Switch To The 6th Sense If You Intend PLEASING God! 

Therefore SELAH – PAUSE, THINK & PONDER and then SWITCH over my friend! 

“For they that are after the FLESH do mind the things of the FLESH; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the CARNAL (FLESHY) mind is ENMITY against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh (Five Senses) CANNOT PLEASE God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” Romans 8:5-9 (Emphasis Mine). 

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

THE 11TH HOUR MONTH – THE MONTH NOVEMBER: THE MONTH OF “NEVER-THE-LESS” – ABOUT TURNING A MESS TO A MESSAGE – ACTING ON GOD’S WORD! 

“. . . 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. 

The month NOVEMBER as themed to be Month of “NEVERTHELESS” at God’s WORD, enabling to act differently for a different and intrigue results in the midst of absolute failure. It thus indicates – the essence of exercising FAITH on the WORD of God as written or revealed upon the possible and impossible situation, in order to get the necessary helps and to receive the enabling grace and wisdom to turn our scarce and scarcity to abundance, our failure to success, our mess to message, our toil and toiling to productive result and such like. And FAITH on the WORD OF FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is the stand to take in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in this month NOVEMBER.  

You may have struggled through in life and especially this year to see that the last ten months just ending with October hasn’t been FRUITFUL as expected with all inputs that you’ve put in; and you are at the present moment at the verge of packing up the marriage, business, career, family, leadership, ministerial calling, relationship of all kind, self-worth and such like. I am here as God’s messenger and ambassador by His grace in Christ Jesus stead, to announce to you that your TOILING is over as you take a step of FAITH upon God’s WORD in spite of all the happenings around you today, for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory as you declare – NEVERTHELESS IN MY TOILING THUS FAR, I WILL LET DOWN THE NET AT GOD’S WORD, FOR HIS CATCH. 

Be BLESSED in Month NOVEMBER in an onward and upward trajectory, as our God turns every MESS up to a gracious and graceful MESSAGE, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL READING THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And it came to pass, that, AS THE PEOPLE PRESSED UPON HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the FISHERMEN were gone out of them and were WASHING THEIR NETS. 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and PRAYED him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, THEY FORSOOK ALL and FOLLOWED him” Luke 5:1-11. 

“David therefore departed thence and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. 2 AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DISTRESS, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DEBT, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS DISCONTENTED, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a CAPTAIN over them: and there were with him about FOUR HUNDRED MEN. 3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. 4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth” 1 Samuel 22:1-5. 

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath ANOINTED me to PREACH good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to BIND UP the brokenhearted, to PROCLAIM LIBERTY to the captives, and the OPENING OF THE PRISON to them that are bound; 2 to PROCLAIM the acceptable year of the Lord, and the DAY OF VENGEANCE of our God; to COMFORT all that mourn; 3 to APPOINT unto them that MOURN in Zion, to GIVE unto them BEAUTY for ASHES, the OIL OF JOY for mourning, the GARMENT OF PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be CALLED trees of righteousness, the PLANTING of the Lord, that he might be GLORIFIED” Isaiah 61:1-3 (Luke 4:16-22). 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). 

“These be THE WORDS which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2 (There are ELEVEN DAYS’ JOURNEY from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.) 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, IN THE ELEVENTH MONTH, ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them; 4 after he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 on this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, YE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH IN THIS MOUNT: 7 TURN YOU, and TAKE YOUR JOURNEY, and GO TO THE MOUNT of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO YOUR FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, TO GIVE UNTO THEM AND TO THEIR SEED AFTER THEM” Deuteronomy 1:1-8.

Be Blessed by God’s enabling grace in His BLESSEDNESS. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For IN HIM we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring” Acts 17:28. 

“For whether WE LIVE, WE LIVE unto the Lord; and whether WE DIE, WE DIE unto the Lord: whether WE LIVE therefore, or die, we ARE the Lord’s” Romans 14:8. 

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS” Philemon 1:6. 

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED US and has DRAWN US to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED US to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 IN WHOM we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified. 

“. . . 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places IN CHRIST: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US IN HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having predestinated us unto the adoption of children BY Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS WILL, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 IN WHOM we have redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” Ephesians 1:1-7. 

“Therefore by THE DEEDS OF THE LAW THERE SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is IN CHRIST JESUS: 25 whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus” Romans 3:20-26. 

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are IN CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life IN CHRIST JESUS hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what THE LAW could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” Romans 8:1-4. 

“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another” Romans 12:4-5.

MONTH NOVEMBER – THE 11TH HOUR MONTH: THE MONTH OF EXPLORING AND ENSURING – “THE REALITIES OF BEING IN HIM – CHRIST JESUS”! 

The month of NOVEMBER as any other DAWN months in the Julian and Gregorian calendar year, is crucial and important in the cause of the numbering of our days under the Sun, in order to fulfil PURPOSE by God, in Christ Jesus stead – [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11]. And it thus re-echoes and reminds me as in other DAWN months, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in the settings being laid down below; and also, with the knowing that it’s God who makes to be, each passing days, weeks and months, and He is the one who crowneth the year with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY by God in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written: 

“This is THE DAY [WEEK, MONTH, YEAR] which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/Emphasis Mine. 

“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 65:11-13/Emphasis Mine. 

Therefore, my acronyms to month November, can be summed in these contexts: 

• FIRSTLY, that the month NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. And it is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while in the southern half, it is the last month of spring in count. 

 

• SECONDLY, that the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing month of the year to usher in another DAWN year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of principle in diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year by the eleventh hour month; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong, stronger and strongly in the current dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousness, gracefulness and blessedness toward me and family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

 

• And THIRDLY, the Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN months of the year; it engages my thoughts toward engaging with benefits of the TEAM spirit, when you consider the ELEVEN PERSONS in the making of a FOOTBALL TEAM. Thus, indicating the needs to work with others, in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common result as a team. This is important, irrespective of the quality of the personality of the individual player’s terms that are involved. The aim is to see the need to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual lone person with innumerable opportunities of engaging with others. 

In any team spirit of togetherness, you see the effect and quality results through oneness in terms of unity, one accord, and one purpose and common focus. And it takes the sense of MATURITY to agree to make and ensure that such concord happens with others. That’s what Simon Peter did in Luke 5:6-7 by beckoning on others to come forth to achieve together before their net break. And with such essence, we can apply it in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business, entrepreneurial, governance, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like. 

“Behold, HOW GOOD and HOW PLEASANT it is for BRETHREN to DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore” Psalms 133:1-3. 

We are as good in fulfilling PURPOSE together meaningfully, than as a lone person. It’s as we work as a team than as a lone individual with a shared common and collective call, that matters in life and grace are ensured to give a more meaningful and fulfilment in a given purpose; and that’s the how to make us good in all goodness rather than playing the lone person dice knowing that A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL AND BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM. And in the word of the Scripture this is affirmative as written: 

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?” Ecclesiastes 4:9-11. 

Upon these above and more account, that I am going to be sharing on the month NOVEMBER as themed to be the MONTH of EXPLORING and ENSURING – “THE REALITIES OF BEING IN HIM – CHRIST JESUS” for us to enjoy the BENEFITS OF GOD’S WILL in Christ Jesus concerning us. 

For IN Him – Christ Jesus: 

• We Live

• We Have Our Being 

• And We Die to live again 

Join me as we EXPLORE unreservedly and uncompromisingly through this Month, on how to ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION by God, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

For IN Christ Jesus: 

• We ARE REDEEMED 

• We ARE Being REDEEMED 

• And We SHALL be REDEEMED eternally. 

I trust God that by this ELEVENTH hour month, that as you EXPLORE to ENSURE by the ASSURED REDEMPTION through KNOWLEDGE, you will NEVER be the same again by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“. . . 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4. 

You may and might have struggled through in doing life and living godly, especially this year considering the last ten months that just ended with October. I can assure you that as we explore and ensure through KNOWLEDGE, of this MONTH of “THE REALITIES OF BEING IN HIM – IN CHRIST JESUS”, you can live, move and have your being again by God in Christ Jesus to – be an overcomer, be a more than conquerors, be victorious and be triumphant, as the Believing one that’s born of God in Christ Jesus stead. And I say AMEN! And by God in Christ Jesus, I foresee you FRUITFUL and FULFILLING as expected with all inputs that you are going to put in and be putting in to explore and ensure to actualise – “THE REALITIES OF BEING IN HIM – CHRIST JESUS”! 

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God in Christ Jesus, considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER theme, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition for yourself in all matters of life, be it in – marriage, business, career, family, leadership, ministerial calling, relationship of all kind, self-worth and such like in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

I do PRAY that in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God will grant you an abundant entrance of grace that will TURN AROUND ALL MESS INTO A MESSAGE. ALL TOILING INTO FRUITFULNESS AND MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT in His stead in Christ Jesus. Amen. May our God’s blessed Spirit of promise, give you the needed guidance, as you let Him lead you to your place of providence and to ensure that you experience BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING AND THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS wherein when all is done and settled, you will be called the trees of righteousness that God might be GLORIFIED and MAGNIFIED in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen. Isaiah 61:1-3. 

And as you read and meditate upon the scriptural READING THOUGHTS in context, accordingly, may you experience God’s INSPIRING, REVEALING, and EMPOWERING enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead in the now and always until He returns. Amen. It’s my gracious wishes for you of our God, in turning every MESS about you into a MESSAGE for all life long as in these SCRIPTURAL injunctions: 

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE) in every good work to do his will, WORKING in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21 Emphasis Mine. 

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25. 

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen” Romans 16:25-25. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. 

I pray you have an amazing, awesome, and majestic daily TURN AROUND OF EVERY MESS INTO MESSAGE by God’s divine provisions in His BLESSEDNESS, through this month of NOVEMBER. 

Be BLESSED in Month NOVEMBER  in an onward and upward trajectory, as our God turns every MESS up to a gracious and graceful MESSAGE, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER: THE MONTH ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” – IN DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

You are specifically and specially WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER; it’s your Month of conquering and ensuring you are “more than conquerors” through love as it’s entitled: LOVE: THE CONQUEST! For conquering by  

LOVE: THE CONQUEST, makes doing life and living godly to become possible when you have come to . . . know the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus . . . as it’s written: 

“. . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts [human spirit] 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 passes [supercedes, transcends] knowledge [human sense], that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21/Emphasis Mine. 

It’s time to take on the challenges of life from all angles using the “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” medicine to make it possible. For its only by conquering through “LOVE: The CONQUEST”, you can actualise a “more than conquerors” in redemption in all life battles as written: 

“. . . 35 Who shall separate us from THE LOVE OF CHRIST? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from THE LOVE OF GOD, which is IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD” Romans 8:32-39 

However, before exploring the Month theme – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”, as you follow along through the months’ writs and post that you will be seeing and reading, let’s consider the terms of Month November in essence. 

The month of NOVEMBER as any other DAWN months in the Julian and Gregorian calendar year, is crucial and important in the cause of the numbering of our days under the Sun, in order to fulfil PURPOSE by God, in Christ Jesus stead – [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11]. And it thus re-echoes and reminds me as in other DAWN months, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in the settings being laid down below; and also, with the knowing that it’s God who makes things to be, in each passing days, weeks and months, and He is the one who crowns the year with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY by God in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written: 

“This is THE DAY [WEEK, MONTH, YEAR] which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/Emphasis Mine. 

“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 65:11-13/Emphasis Mine. 

Therefore, my acronyms to month November, can be summed in these contexts: 

• FIRSTLY, that the month NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. And it is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while In the southern half, it is the last month of spring in count. 

• SECONDLY, that the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing month of the year to usher in another DAWN year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of principle in diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year by the eleventh hour month; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong, stronger and strongly in the current dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousness, gracefulness and blessedness toward me and family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

• And THIRDLY, the Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN months of the year; it engages my thoughts toward engaging with benefits of the TEAM spirit, when you consider the ELEVEN PERSONS in the making of a FOOTBALL TEAM. Thus, indicating the needs to work together with others, in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common result as a team. This is important, irrespective of the quality of the personality of the individual player’s terms that are involved. The aim is to see the need to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual lone person with innumerable opportunities of engaging with others. 

Therefore, get set to conquering all matters of life challenges to ensure and be assured through the month of November theme entitled – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”.  

Blessed regards!  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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 3:16-18. 

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

“And we have known and believed the LOVE that God hath to us. God is LOVE; and he that DWELLETH IN LOVE dwelleth in God, and God in him. 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 4:16, 18. 

“Behold, what manner of LOVE the Father hath BESTOWED upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not” 1 John 3:1. 

“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. 

“. . . 35 Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:32-39. 

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] TO KNOW [practically, through personal experience] THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH FAR SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19/Amplified. 

“For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through LOVE . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE serve and seek the best for one another” Galatians 5:6, 13/Amplified. 

“Hatred stirs up strife, But LOVE covers and overwhelms all transgressions [forgiving and overlooking another’s faults]” Proverbs 10:12/Amplified. 

“Above all, have FERVENT and UNFAILING LOVE for one another, because LOVE covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]” 1 Peter 4:8/Amplified. 

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35. 

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so, shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE ye in my LOVE. 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and ABIDE in his LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14. 

“Some, it is true, are [actually] preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry [toward me—for no better reason than a competitive spirit or misguided ambition], but others out of goodwill and a loyal spirit [toward me]. 16 The latter [preach Christ] out of LOVE, because they know that I have been put here [by God on purpose] for the defense of the gospel; 17 but the former preach Christ [insincerely] out of selfish ambition [just self-promotion], thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. 18 What then [does it matter)? So long as in every way, whether in pretense [for self-promotion] or in all honesty [to spread the truth], Christ is being preached; and in this I rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.
