OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY

By Leave a Comment

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY: THE SPIRITUAL, VITAL AND LEGAL TENDER TO DO LIFE AND KINGDOM BUSINESS ON EARTH

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

FAITH is not a DOCTRINE or CREED or BYE-LAWS and such like and has NONE on it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian Walk transactions; and it’s imperative and important in helping us in becoming that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God. It is a product of the Spirit and it’s synergised by the Word of God (John 6:63; Romans 10:17;  Hebrews 11). FAITH comes at the hearing and Faith goes away at No continuous hearing of the WORD of God – meaning FAITH realisation and actualisation is depending on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God (Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).

Currently in the World, the DE FACTO to exchange is the US Dollar. If one transacts business outside another nations acceptable legal tender say Dollars ‘$’ for USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for United Kingdom and such like, your action will warrant a fake trafficking and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. In the same scenario, there’s no single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of FAITH – for its the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and Earthly, in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING business affairs.

Hence there is the need to WALK IN FAITH and most importantly CONTEND in Life FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN. The reason is because Faith is the Victory by which life warfare can be dealt with and overcome in every level of life in the world EARTHLY affairs (1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11).

Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen (2 Corinthians 4:13, 18). God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith. That makes the vehicle ‘FAITH’ spiritual, vital and legal tender to all of life endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and steadily steady in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH are ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit. Amen – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“But unto every one of us is given grace according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST” Ephesians 4:7.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints” Jude 1:3.

“keeping your FAITH [leaning completely on God with absolute trust and confidence in His guidance] and having a good conscience; for some [people] have rejected [their moral compass] and have made a SHIPWRECK of their FAITH” 1 Timothy 1:19 (Amplified).

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

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

MATTERS OF IDOLS

MATTERS OF IDOLS: KEEP AWAY – GIVE IT A NO ATTENTION!

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also WE HAVE ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE wherein WE STAND, and REJOICE in hope of THE GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

IDOLS are ANYTHING but NOTHING – For in Christ Jesus WE ARE JUSTIFIED and WE HAVE ACCESS by FAITH with God. Amen.

Idols are no god, keep them and their followers away from your proximity. I am saying that the IDOLS to whom the unbeliever’s [heathen] bring sacrifices are not really alive and are not real gods as been purported by their worshippers, and that the sacrifices been offered to the gods are of some value to the worshipers as they are under the spell and clover’s of sorcery and divining spirits of darkness being advanced by the satan and cohorts demons [devils]. NO, NOT AT ALL ARE IDOLS GOD BY ANY MEANS.

What I have just said in a nutshell is that those who offer food to these idols are united in sacrificing to DEMONS, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you Believers of God in Christ Jesus to be PARTNERS and PARTAKERS with DEMONS when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these IDOLS. You cannot drink from the cup at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table, too and expects God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS to be operatives in your life, instead it’s familiar spirits and such like in evil and wickedness to keep the worshippers in bondage. You CANNOT eat bread both at the LORD’S TABLE and at SATAN’S TABLE in this context of grace.

Therefore, RUN, FLEE from every appearance and suggestion of idol and such like. It’s ungodly and it’s not heavenly. You are redeemed to worship God by your spirit in the grace by the word and empowered by the Holy Spirit and not by demons.

Be blessed in the grace as you take a stand in your justification of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“All these things happened to them as examples—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could read about them and learn from them in these LAST DAYS as the world nears its end . . .19 What am I trying to say? Am I saying that the IDOLS to whom the HEATHEN bring sacrifices are really alive and are real gods, and that these sacrifices are of some value? NO, NOT AT ALL. 20 What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrificing to DEMONS, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you to be PARTNERS with DEMONS when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these IDOLS. 21 You cannot drink from the cup at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table, too. You CANNOT eat bread both at the LORD’S TABLE and at SATAN’S TABLE” 1 Corinthians 10:11, 19-21/Living Bible.

“Next is your question about EATING FOOD that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS. On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one! But although being a “KNOW-IT-ALL” makes us feel important, WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED TO BUILD THE CHURCH IS LOVE. 2 If anyone thinks he knows all the answers, he is just SHOWING his ignorance. 3 But the person who truly loves God is the one who is OPEN TO GOD’S KNOWLEDGE. 4 So now, what about it? Should we EAT meat that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS? Well, we all know that AN IDOL IS NOT REALLY A GOD, and that there is ONLY ONE GOD, AND NO OTHER. 5 According to some people, there are a great many gods, both in heaven and on earth. 6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created all things and made us to be his own; and one Lord Jesus Christ, who made everything and gives us life. 7 However, some Christians don’t realize this. All their lives they have been used to thinking of IDOLS as alive, and have believed that FOOD OFFERED TO THE IDOLS is really being OFFERED TO ACTUAL GODS. So when they eat such food it bothers them and hurts their tender consciences. 8 Just remember that God doesn’t care whether we eat it or not. We are no worse off if we don’t eat it, and no better off if we do. 9 But be careful not to use your FREEDOM to eat it, lest you cause some Christian brother to sin whose CONSCIENCE is weaker than yours. 10 You see, this is what may happen: Someone who thinks it is wrong to eat this food will see you eating at a temple restaurant, for you know there is no harm in it. Then he will become bold enough to do it too, although all the time he still feels it is wrong. 11 So because you “know it is all right to do it,” you will be responsible for causing great spiritual damage to a brother with a tender conscience for whom Christ died. 12 And it is a sin AGAINST Christ to sin AGAINST your brother by encouraging him to do something he thinks is wrong. 13 So if eating meat OFFERED TO IDOLS is going to make my brother sin, I’ll not eat any of it as long as I live because I don’t want to do this to him” 1st Corinthians 8:1-13/Living Bible.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not HABITUALLY sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that WE ARE of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD yourselves from IDOLS— [false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:18-21/Living Bible.

KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM ICONS AS IN IDOLS

By Leave a Comment

KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM ICONS AS IN IDOLS: FOR THERE IS A SIMILARITY ATTACHED ON MATTER OF IDOLS AND ICONS!

“. . . 15 And the EVIL spirit answered and said, Jesus I KNOW, and Paul I KNOW; but who ARE ye? . . .” Acts 19:13-20.

What then is it about IDOLS And ICONS? – what then is it about the similarity and relationship and attachments in matters of IDOLS And ICONS per se, especially in this generation of so much of hypes and applause to things and persons more than toward obtaining God’s approval in our act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

I believe in life, there’s that act of the good, goodness, graciousness and gracefulness to look up to people or someone you admire to learn of them and to be challenged and charged up to become what you wants to be for yourself in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus; but to REVERED and BELIEVED in them firstly as your DEFINITION knowingly and unknowingly, and to place them to be ABOVE and EQUAL to God is troubling and troublesome; and secondly, to loose the essence of your OWN WELL-BEING and WORTH in God by Christ Jesus for someone else’s validation as a measure for yourself in contrary and in contravening to BECOME whom God made YOU to BE, is not only fallacy, stupidity, ignorance, foolishness and such like, but also signifies bondage, demonic and satanic.

“And Herod was highly DISPLEASED with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with ONE ACCORD to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. 22 and the PEOPLE gave a SHOUT, SAYING, it is the VOICE of A GOD, and NOT OF A MAN. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost” Acts 12:20-23.

It’s imperative that as a Believer of God in Christ Jesus, to know and note that while being close to any or looking up to any, let it be that you do it through the mirror of the WORD in Christ Jesus stead and by the promptings and lead of the indwelling Holy Spirit within you; this is important, so that you don’t derail when such a one does derail from the truth of God’s word and go off the glamour light ray that you’ve become accustomed to with such a person or group – knowingly and unknowingly. For in life, and under the Sun, nothing is permanent – things once the lamplight of today fades away with time and most cases never to be known and remembered anymore – but God and His WORD in Christ Jesus is eternal and will always be there for all eternity – PAUSE and THINK about it, SELAH. [James 1:22-25; 1 Peter 1:22-25; Hebrews 12:1-2; Hebrews 1:1-4; Galatians 4:8-16].

And why so, or such a fuss anyway about this writ? – it’s purely for the reason that sometimes you hear someone say – that’s my IDOL and or that’s my ICON; and all these, is in order to make them feel to belong with a sense of VALUE and WORTH in their reverence to such; and it’s so disheartening that in some or most occasions, nothing could be said by anyone else’s in their presence of such a person as their acclaimed IDOL or ICON, without them putting up a defence and sometimes a fight, especially these days of social media trolls; and as the saying goes – tell me your friend and I will tell you who you are, which indicates it will tell you how much you’re WORTH and VALUED, and can be CHARACTERISED. And overtime it has become a norm in our worlds especially now in the Christian FAITH where many have replaced God with human’s and things; and some sects in their sectarianism can hardly READ their BIBLE regularly anymore for self-knowledge and UNDERSTANDING in order to save them from the deceptions that are in our worlds and in some misplaced called Churches with doctrinal falsehoods just as Bereän Christian’s did to save their days in honour and dignity as in Acts 17:10-12.

“The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to BEREA; and when they arrived, they entered the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now these people were more NOBLE and OPEN-MINDED than those in Thessalonica, so they RECEIVED the message [of salvation through faith in the Christ] with great eagerness, EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES DAILY to see if these things were so. 12 As a result many of them became believers, together with a number of prominent Greek women and men” Acts 17:10-12/AMP.

And for these deceptions in having adored IDOLS and ICONS, many have resolved that their adored person is the one they REVERE and BELIEVE to give the final statement of facts to what they SAY or DO unreservedly, and it’s become their norm and more important positions for them. And overtime this have influenced our worlds and Churches in many ways. Its effect has led many to all forms of BELIEF and ATTACHMENTS, leading to bondage with little or no self WORTH anymore except what the adored IDOL and ICON signifies directly or indirectly to them.

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed” Galatians 1:6-9.

Herein is something likely for you to know and recall on the likeness, similarity and representation of an ICON and an IDOL:

  • An IDOL from my previous post, is usually a STATURE but could be a PICTURE or IMAGE or PERSON and is REVERED and BELIEVED to have an actual link to the ENTITY it DEPICTS – in power or and essence.
  • An ICON is similarly looked up to and at, in representation as an IDOL; as a result in this wise – When you look at an ICON while COMMUNICATING (say PRAYING) in picture or mind, it seems you are praying to God but not, instead to a god, and if you PRAY looking at the IDOL directly (in STATURE), you are PRAYING to the IDOL. In either way you attribute an essence of praying to God but it’s to gods – which scripturally is demonic and to spirits – spiritism.

Have FAITH in God and not in and on any thing or another person and any such like, in order to live free and freely in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Mark 11:20; Galatians 5:1/AMP].

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us FREE [completely LIBERATING us]; therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/AMP.

“For [God DOES NOT OVERLOOK SIN and] the WRATH of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth . . . 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who PRACTICE them” Romans 1:18, 32/AMP.

“We know [for a fact] that WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:19-21/AMP.

“Howbeit then, when ye KNEW NOT God, ye did SERVICE unto them which by NATURE are NO GODS. 9 But now, after that ye have KNOWN God, or rather ARE KNOWN of God, HOW TURN YE AGAIN to the weak and BEGGARLY ELEMENTS, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye OBSERVE DAYS, and MONTHS, and TIMES, and YEARS. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but RECEIVED ME AS AN ANGEL of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 Where is then the BLESSEDNESS ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you THE TRUTH?” Galatians 4:8-16.

“Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 the one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS: WHAT’S AN IDOL/IDOLATRY – IT’S ANYTHING!

“Therefore, my beloved, RUN [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] IDOLATRY [and that includes LOVING ANYTHING MORE than God, or PARTICIPATING in ANYTHING that leads to sin and enslaves the soul]. 15 I am speaking as to wise and sensible people; judge [carefully and thoughtfully consider] for yourselves what I say” 1 Corinthians 10:14-15/AMP.

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart] “ 1 John 5:21/AMP.

Idol and Idolatry are nouns. Meaning they are personified – which indicates they have characteristics and behavioural acts and effects. And are not just demonic but spirits at work passively in some people and places, thereby creating the essence of addictions, suffering, poverty, setbacks and such like, that leads to further bondages. Their likeness and difference can be connotes as this:

  • An IDOL is a graven image or representation of ANYTHING that is REVERED, or BELIEVED to convey spiritual power, essence and being.
  • An IDOLATRY is the worship of IDOLS. It connotes the WORSHIP and SERVING (rendering services) of SOMETHING or SOMEONE other than God as if it were God.

And for your spiritual well-being and wholeness in God by Christ Jesus, keep yourself from idol and Idolatry – that’s anything that’s revered and believed knowingly and unknowingly in hearts and thoughts and deeds beside God in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“IT WAS FOR THIS FREEDOM THAT CHRIST SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/AMP.

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:21/AMP.

“Consider the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners of the altar [united in their worship of the same God]? [Indeed they are.] 19 What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that AN IDOL IS ANYTHING? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to DEMONS [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You CANNOT drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of DEMONS. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]. 22 Do we [really] provoke the Lord to jealousy [when we eat food sacrificed to handmade “gods” at pagan feasts]? Are we [spiritually] stronger than He? [Certainly not! He knows that the idols are nothing. But we deeply offend Him.]” 1 Corinthians 10:18-22/AMP.

“But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [DEVOTED TO ANYTHING THAT TAKES THE PLACE OF GOD], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler—you must not so much as eat with such a person” 1 Corinthians 5:11/AMP.

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS OR BEING MADE AN IDOL

By Leave a Comment

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS OR BEING MADE AN IDOL: AN IDOL IS – ANYTHING – REVERED AND BELIEVED OTHER THAN ALMIGHTY GOD!

Many times in life I have heard some people say that the VOICE of MEN is the VOICE OF GOD as reference in the Acts of the Apostle with consequences Acts 12:20-23; and heaven help those who help themselves and each other, irrespective of how the help is carried out. And to them, since God may be so slow in their terms, they have to help themselves, and God can then follow suit in their terms if He really loves and cares about them. Then I pause most times and say – Really? as I asked why such a myth exists among people – if it’s ignorance, foolishness and stupidity. It reminds me of the Biblical King Saul, hearkening to the people’s VOICE than that of God as written in  1 Samuel 15:1-35 and 1 Samuel 10:18-20. We all know how it ended for him.

I want you to know for sure and true, that God is a God of PRINCIPLE and not of SENTIMENTS nor of a METHOD. He only operates within His WORD and not by human sentiments, emotions and methodology. So, in any emotions and methodology, which are common to mere men for sentimental reasons and values, God is not there, for He will only take action where His WORD is the STAND, in Christ Jesus stead. For a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, meaning God is not PLEASE to get involved with such decisions at all. Hence making the VOICE of men your tool, makes you live outside God’s principle of BLESSEDNESS and abounding LOVE for His PURPOSE. GOD ONLY CONFIRMS HIS WORD AND NOTHING ELSE. You need to always THINK about that before you make any decision in LIFE and GRACE.

And to have a VOICE, some will – religiously and or politically and for any leadership positions, kill or do any form of evil,  wickedness and such likes to promote and certify the CAUSES and SENTIMENTS of their adored IDOL or ICON to indicate their allegiance; also, go any length to gratify that position of dignity and honour irrespective of what the person is doing or have done. And this you find happening both WITHIN the CHURCH as in the WORLD to meet the course of that leadership and governance – unfortunately some will welcome such ADORATION in the name of a godly and good causes in terms.

These acts of giving addicted REVERENCE and BELIEF to your acclaimed IDOLS or ICONS has a deadly effect especially in LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING, for a Christian and the Church of God. And same like, as to the one who is RECEIVING and ALLOWING such OVATION of men to overtake the place of God. And I wish people know about the EFFECT, that it could be deadly.

And the fact that the sovereign and almighty God is slow to act accordingly in some occasions to authenticate his jealousy against these stupidity and acts of His glory being shared or equated and taken, does not mean He’s not aware or jealous as a jealous God visiting the iniquity of such behaviour. He’s still the jealous God of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and will act appropriately in his own time.

For so was Herod (King) Agrippa the first, who made himself God and took glory of God to satisfy the VOICE of the people. He paid deadly for it and none could stop God.

Are you in a position where people tend to REVERE and BELIEVE in you to ascertain doing deadly things that may warrant God’s anger? If I were you I will adhere not but learn a lesson from these three wise counts below in order not to be sentimental as in these scriptural instructions:

  • Between Apostle John and the Angel – Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:6-9.
  • Between Apostle Paul, Barnabas and Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia – Acts 14:8-15.
  • Between Apostle Peter and Cornelius – Acts 10:25-27.

And if these legend of Biblical spiritual being and Apostles REFUSED to be WORSHIP – REVERED and BELIEVED – as IDOLS or ICONS to please men APPLAUD but they lean solely on God’s APPROVAL as in Jesus Christ stead – Act 2:22; why are you so OBSESSED of your life’s position to always get offended if not accorded or given the ovation, applaud or oblation you so much crave. Getting offended and outraged because you are not properly addressed by your title and class indicates how insecure you are in what you crave for otherwise you will  be contented in the enabling grace provided of God in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2.

I urge you to keep away from IDOLS and let none make you one! Idols are spirits, spirits acts as gods. And gods are demonic. The end is deadly now or later. REPENT!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now Herod [Agrippa I] was EXTREMELY ANGRY with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and their delegates came to him in a united group, and after persuading Blastus, the king’s chamberlain [to support their cause], they asked for peace, because their country was fed by [imports of grain and other goods from] the king’s country. 21 On an appointed day Herod DRESSED HIMSELF IN HIS ROYAL ROBES, sat on his throne (tribunal, rostrum) and began delivering a speech to the people. 22 The assembled people kept shouting, “IT IS THE VOICE OF A GOD AND NOT OF A MAN!” 23 And at once an ANGEL of the Lord STRUCK him down because he did not GIVE God the glory [and instead PERMITTED himself to be worshiped], and he was eaten by worms and died [five days later]” Acts 12:20-23 (Amplified).

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“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.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4.

“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND PREACHED EVERY WHERE, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: OUGHT NOT TO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 1:18.

“Holding the mystery of THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY holds to THE TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS toward God in Christ Jesus, knowing that Jesus is THE TRUTH and our RIGHTEOUSNESS is in God. And Jesus Christ is not just TRUTH but THE TRUTH. And as THE TRUTH He gives life, the eternal life of God to all who seeks the Father God in Him – John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12; and gives light to illuminate all who sits in darkness, to brighten up their life in RIGHTEOUSNESS without perversion, distortion, counterfeit, adulteration, and delusions; and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy). Galatians 1:6-10; Jude 1:3-4.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY lives by a PURE conscience toward God and toward men. The intent is to always stand by THE TRUTH of THE WORD irrespective of the circumstances and context of the moment. We are to hold steadfastly the mystery of the faith toward God and toward Christ Jesus in a pure conscience. 1 Peter 5:7-11. There’s no room to hold the TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS for any reason of pleasing self or others if we must remain the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

As an UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God, you can’t teach others to live in a particular life standard that you know contradicts the truth of the SCRIPTURE by the way you make it appear  to suit the sentiments of the day. Asking someone or telling others not to steal, while  you do steal by whatever formula, or saying it is wrong to commit adultery while  you do it, or saying to someone not to pray to idols, while you make money or any mundane things your god instead – this then will undermine the integrity and stand of the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus. These aforementioned and such like should not be found among any UNPARALLELED ARMY that needs to manifest as a vessel of use by God in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

The TRUTH is THE WORD, and Jesus is THE WORD – meaning that the UNPARALLELED ARMY cannot hold the TRUTH outside the WORD, for THE TRUTH is the WORD and is Christ Jesus. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14, 17. Meaning, for any to hold the TRUTH in any form of unrighteousness and to then expect the righteous outcome in life and grace is not possible instead it will attract the vehement WRATH of God without signal – Hebrews 10:31. Holding THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is an indication of manipulation and control and confusion, especially in the PREACHING of the Gospel – the good news of the goodness of God in Christ Jesus – when it’s been perverted, twisted, diluted, adulterated and such like.

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

The UNPARALLELED ARMY that is LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT does not hold THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. It’s not doubled-tongued in any means and for any means.  The UNPARALLELED ARMY is commissioned to speak THE TRUTH IN LOVE because the part of the landmark of the commission is LOVING and having  LOVELY characteristics built on the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that TRANSCENDS and SUPERSEDES all human sense/ knowledge as written:

“But speaking THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ” Ephesians 4:15.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to know the LOVE of Christ, which PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be filled with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

It’s very important that anyone who claims to be a part of the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God that wants to live the LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT way of doing life and living godly, must resolved not to be a peddler who does THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS or in any form of UNRIGHTEOUS CAUSE in the name of God in Christ Jesus stead.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the wrath of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:18-32.

“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.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through THY TRUTH: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through THE TRUTH” John 17:16-19.

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, TEACHEST thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not STEAL, dost thou STEAL? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not COMMIT adultery, dost thou COMMIT adultery? thou that ABHORREST idols, dost thou COMMIT sacrilege? 23 thou that MAKEST thy boast of the law, through BREAKING the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is BLASPHEMED among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:21-29.

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

“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 . . . 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17.

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

“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.

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in TRUTH: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in TRUTH” John 4:23-24.

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ” Galatians 1:6-10.

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL

GOD IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL: DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

The last time I checked with God about you in the Scriptures, He said, that your WORTH in Him is GRACIOUS and PRICELESS. So, don’t let your present turbulence or circumstances makes you SETTLE FOR LESS than your WORTH in Christ Jesus; and in same scenario, don’t disvalue and undermine your worth on the grace before our God in the name of humility, which is actually ignorance, foolishness and stupidity to the context of His word on the scriptures on our redemption in Christ Jesus; and do not even submit before man nor satanic influences, because your true worth definition is not in men or Satan and cohorts . Know for certainty that YOU ARE MORE OF GOD AND ABOVE ONLY. You ARE CHOSEN, you ARE ROYAL, you ARE HOLY, you ARE PECULIAR, you ARE CALLED, and have RECEIVED and OBTAINED mercy in the grace, wherein you stand before God without guilt, unashamed and without complex and without insecurity and without anchor, wrath and doubt of any form and fear of any kind standing before the creator God in Christ Jesus. A place of no sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation.

“I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, WITHOUT anger or quarrelling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands” 1 Timothy 2:8/Amplified Classic Edition.

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:7/Amplified Classic Edition.

You ARE of God, and His DESIGN and SHOWCASE LABEL to the world, for you ARE wonderfully and fearfully created, that is, reverently made. You ARE God made. You ARE of God’s cornerstone that’s fashioned and polished in the similitude of His palatial palace of GRACIOUSNESS, GRACEFULNESS, FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS. The world by the make-up may discredit you, which is okay for them as they qualify and quantify you as you ARE not of them, for you ARE of God, which is the hallmark of living a purpose-driven life that brings about meaningful fulfilment in the grace. And your stand in the grace gives you access to Father God and to enjoy the justified life in Christ Jesus.

“YE ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error“ 1 John 4:4-6.

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

Your REDEMPTION is PRICELESS, don’t demean your WORTH for the less. Know full well, there’s an answer to your prayers, for God is able and faithful to meet up with you at the point of your need. God is NEVER late when you are patience – He’s always on time – Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. He lives in TIMELESS realm of possibility not on our 24hrs Gregorian timed Calendar. Hence FAITH which is a necessity tool of timeless realm in Him, is of paramount importance to engage with God – 1 John 5:4-5; Hebrews 11:6; Habakkuk 2:4. And surely and assuredly, God will meet you up at that point of possibility realm – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

Dust off yourself right now, heads up and raise your shoulder high and put on your high heels of redemption, rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Then arise in grace and look unto the HILLS wherein comes the ANSWERS and not the QUESTIONS as you step into your day. It’s your time to shine, go forth and shine, for your light is come and God’s PRICELESS glory is upon you.

Be Blessed – Meaning – Be Empowered in grace To Succeed, Thrive, Colour and be meaningfully Fulfilled.

YOU ARE WORTH THE LIVING – THE BEST OF GOD – DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CONTINUE until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], DEVELOPING [that good work] and PERFECTING and bringing it to FULL COMPLETION in you.” (Philippians 1:6 Amplified).

“God is FAITHFUL (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were CALLED into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9 Amplified).

“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.

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

THE MANDATE OF COMPLETENESS: BEING CONSCIOUS OF YOUR BEING COMPLETE IN CHRIST JESUS!
 
“And YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:10.
 
Don’t be MISTAKEN by you and by any for whatsoever on what the scriptures says concerning you and the power of God on the scriptures for you in the grace – for you ARE COMPLETE in Christ Jesus – and that SETTLES it all about doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY; but to ensure your BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, you must live unreservedly in BEING CONSCIOUS of your BEING COMPLETE IN CHRIST JESUS in your daily stead of Him. More so, you must ensure and be assured, intentional and truly, convinced and confident within you on the scripture about you, that God who began the good work of redemption will actualised the reality of your completeness [wholeness, perfection, totality, maturity and more] in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not knowing the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.
 
For Jesus Christ, is the GOSPEL, POWER and SANCTIFICATION; and REDEMPTION, RIGHTEOUSNESS and WISDOM of God for ALL human SALVATION in all of life terms and it’s not limited in any measure to only the following: Health, Peace, Safety, Strenght, Security, Deliverance, Prosperity, Triumph, Victory, Fulfilment, Completeness, Peacefulness, Joyfulness, Perfectness, Purposefulness, Meaningfulness and such like.

“But we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men . . . 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:23-25, 30-31.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD – THERE WOULD BE JOY IN THE CITY OF YOUR BEING!
 
“. . .4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . .” Acts 8:1-20.
 
Don’t be Mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – It’s the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST for – yesterday, today and tomorrow.
 
“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.
 
We live today in the times of divergence of pendamic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, wars, sanctions, oppressions, hatred and poverty in our worlds, while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE – for all hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances.
 
The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse or accuse or transfer aggressions to others. And some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have holds over them in their vulnerability.
 
And what people needs today in the midst of the situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, family and communities; and much more the HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can well out of their darkness as fountains with peace, worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. Hence a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, is of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all.
 
And a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of one’s and or people challenges and circumstances in order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times.
 
In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City.
 
I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.
I am been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.
 
PREACH CHRIST – PREACH THE WORD – FOR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE – IS THE POWER, ANSWER AND ANTIDOTE TO THE QUEST, IN ALL HUMAN NEEDS.
