THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: THE LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT CHURCH!
 
“Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise –
And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.
 
“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14 Amplified.
 
Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.
 
“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in everyway of the challenges that are emanating today and any day in future, because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way as we see daily in all the multimedia channels and events near you.
 
“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.
 
“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is Spirit-breathed and alive; and not a mere organisation; and is living on the wings of Him who ever lives and is ageless. And He’s building the Spirit-inspiring, Spirit-revealing and Spirit-empowering army that’s ensured and assured that the gates of hades of the ENEMY and COHORTS can’t prevail and can’t matched the army as is captained by Him who rules and reigns supreme in the heavenly, on earth and beneath the earth. The UNPARALLELED ARMY is the Church of God on the earth and is energised and synergised along with an invincible armoury and weapons and angelically assisted.
 
“. . . 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not PREVAIL AGAINST IT. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND ON EARTH shall be BOUND IN HEAVEN: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE ON EARTH shall be LOOSED IN HEAVEN . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.
 
The CHURCH of God is the you, local and universal body of born again and Spirit-filled believers of God in Christ Jesus, under a Shepherd. For under the Sun, there are two groups (THE JEWS and THE GENTILES (otherwise called the Greeks) and the third – THE CHURCH OF GOD. And the Church of God is made of the born again of THE JEWS and THE GENTILES (GREEKS) otherwise called the the circumcised or the uncircumcised in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; 1 Corinthians 10:32; Galatians 5:6.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is equipped with an invincible armoury and weapons in union with an invisible heavenly angelic army as a re-enforcement with an emboldening and a fearless and unfailing dedicated and committed physical army called – The Church of God that’s of individual, local and universal across every continent on earth with unparalleled captain and commander and headship of God’s army – Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:20-23; Ephesians 3:20-21.

An unparalleled army that’s beyond the walls and boundaries of any known and to be known denomination, tribe, kindred, colour, tongue and nation and such like – and spread across the universe and far superior and above any known government and governance, principalities and powers and dominions that are known, written and yet unknown by any measure. Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:4-10; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is the only known army that’s invincibly and angelically assisted and ministered to irrespective of location without respect to person’s; and faith in to the authority of the supreme commander captain and headship of God in Christ Jesus stead by the blessed Holy Spirit. Hebrews 1:7, 14; Joshua 5:13-15.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY battle field is not warred in the flesh but in the spirit – pulling down strong holds and kingdom, casting down vain imaginations, authorities and leadership, principalities and powers and rulers of evil and wickedness and such like, that are disrespectful and not subject to the authority of God. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 Peter 5:7-11; Ephesians 6:10-20.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is beyond being a Jew or Gentile or Greek, heathen or circumcised or uncircumcised but is born of God from any of the aforementioned to be called the THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord and God personified. 1 Corinthians 10:32, Romans 2:28-29; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29; 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 6:13-16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Romans 3:28-29; Romans 10:4, 8-13.
 
And you are that individual, local and universal Church of God as depicted as the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – for which is one God, one baptism, one Lord, one faith, one God and father. Ephesians 4:4-6; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY has only one Shepherd who only is ascribed as the GOOD, CHIEF and GREAT SHEPHERD of this superior army. Psalms 23; John 10:11-18; 1 Peter 5:4; Hebrews 13:20-21.
 
THE UNPARALLELED ARMY IS:
* Fearless

WE’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

WE’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURTS AND YOUR PAST – WHEN YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED!

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the JOY OF RECONCILIATION with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His EXCELLENCE and POWER]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? Do you wants to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge and more?  There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can possess your WHOLENESS in Redemption again. And when you are – BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS there’s NO MORE FISHING EXPEDITION ON YOUR PAST AND YOUR HURTS, because FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS is MADE POSSIBLE in the JUSTIFICATION OF GOD – in CHRIST JESUS on your behalf – that’s the gracious and BLESSEDNESS our REDEMPTION.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, governments and governances are been ruin everyday by everyway because of the inability to not FORGIVE and to FORGET; and more importantly, to moved FORWARD from the past and hurts, and moved in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace and BLESSEDNESS to succeed in Christ Jesus stead.

“We know that we have PASSED from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because He LAID DOWN His life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, ANGER, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like – the more.

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION play the means route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all, in order to be WHOLE again in Him. Romans 5:1-2.

He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARD, INWARD and ONWARD day to day life of grace.

And to JUSTIFY or BEING JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS, is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done because Jesus made Himself the sin for our redemption [2 Corinthians 5:21]. For this is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE work of grace that Jesus Christ DID in our REDEMPTION, to set us FREE without accusations, ensuring and assuring that there’s NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE and our PAST attached, thereby making us a NEW CREATION [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]; God by justification did all the enumerated in Christ Jesus, in order to ERASE our PAST, as He ensure and assure that our INIQUITIES has been BURIED in the sea of FORGETFULNESS – and NO MORE THE FISHING of the PAST to HURT and HUNT your TODAY and TOMORROW in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA [OF FORGETFULNESS]” Micah 7:18-19/Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I make bold to say you and to all, that to the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has no PAST because we’ve BEING JUSTIFIED BY IN CHRIST JESUS. And when you act in same like spirit TOWARD others, you will LIVE FREE from and of – BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it will hunt and hurt you as a cancerous disease, especially on you the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET but go about nursing grudges in sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation as you do life and do godly in Christ Jesus.

IT’S EXPENSIVE TO CARRY RESENTMENT AND WRATH – IT’S LIKE TAKING PARACETAMOL MEDICINES FOR ANOTHER PERSON HEADACHES – THEREFORE, NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION – THROUGH JUSTIFICATION ACTS AND PROCESSES OF REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

I pray you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in this knowing and understanding, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:1-2, 5-11.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are PASSED away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN FOR US, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“If thine ENEMY BE HUNGRY, GIVE HIM BREAD to eat; and if he BE THIRSTY, GIVE HIM WATER to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall REWARD thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Therefore if thine ENEMY HUNGER, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:20-21.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of JUDGMENT (CHALLENGE): BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE) LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because he LAID DOWN his life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, DO GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE)” Matthew 5:43-48 Emphasis Mine.

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

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

AFD JULY 2025

WELCOME TO MONTH JULY 2025: MONTH ENTITLED – THE BELIEVERS’ MARRIAGE IN CHRIST JESUS!

“Marriage is to be held in HONOUR among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous” Hebrews 13:4/Amplified.

I want to specially WELCOME you in the name of our good and faithful, true and sure God, in Christ Jesus stead, to month July 2025.

The Month July is entitled as “THE BELIEVERS’ MARRIAGE IN CHRIST JESUS!”. Thus indicating that during the course of this month, we will be exploring matters and questions particularly to the Believers’ marriage in Christ Jesus. There’s something special about the “BELIEVERS’ MARRIAGE IN CHRIST JESUS” stead.. We will be exploring it in details as in the grace.

The Month JULY, is the SEVENTH of the TWELVE month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars months and the FOURTH of the seven months to have a length of 31 days in count. And SEVEN in count, account to indicate and signifies the following  but not limited: Completeness, Wholeness, Maturity, Fullness, Fulfilment, Fruitfulness, Meaningfulness, Purposefulness, Perfectness and such like, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And I do declare that in this month, you will be maritally transformed from glory to glory in the fullness of God’s wholeness, completeness maturity, fullness, fulfilment, fruitfulness, meaningfulness, purposefulness, perfectness and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Our Saviour, Lord and King, Jesus Christ, in order to commence the purpose and cause of God that He came to accomplish for our human redemption in the grace, His first work of the Father through Him was to attend the marriage program in Cana of Galilee as in John 2:1-11.

“And the third day there was a MARRIAGE in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and both Jesus was called, and His disciples, to the MARRIAGE . . . “ John 1:1-11.

Knowingly, Christ Jesus purpose on earth while in humanity until now, was and is,  to destroy the works of the devil and to bear witness of Father God for human redemption in Him [1 John 3:8; John 18:37] – and one major target works of the devil has always being from the beginning to destroy marriages as in Adam and Eve till date – I mean BELIEVERS’ MARRIAGE IN CHRIST JESUS, so that the earnest purpose and cause of God in His original definition of marriage are thwarted; and for Christ Jesus in purpose and cause, to restore the divine intent and place of Marriage vitality as in God’s intent for humanity, our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ plan and pursuit in the start-up beginning, was to firstly ensure it by attending a marriage invite and to perform a miracle with His presence there. The Disciples were also invited along with Him. Have you wondered how coincidence this could have been, that God in Christ Jesus first process of redemption was to begin through marriage attendance and the first miracle was to happen in the marriage settings, just as in Genesis book of beginning of God setting marriage over all creation, and His resting day was to active man’s first day to work in the plan,  purpose and pursuit of God until he fails in the given tasks.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might DESTROY the WORKS of the devil.” 1 John 3:8.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

So, in this Month July, we will be exploring, through writing’s, Teaching and Bible Study the essence – foundation and fundamental principles of the “BELIEVERS’ MARRIAGE IN CHRIST! JESUS. Don’t miss any of the sections to be there live. More so, get to download the CEFMORSI App, and explore in the follow up links that will be provided also for your perusal.

The Believers’ in Christ Jesus marriage is at default to stand the test of times no matter the onslaughts of the enemy and cohorts against it 24/7. God is faithful to His Word, He will surely sure and ensure it for the reason and purpose for which marriage was created and made to be in the grace of our God.

Be blessed in the grace as a Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it’s simply because MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE ABOVE ALL in the Believer’s context in the grace. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And the third day there was a MARRIAGE in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him” John 2:1-11.

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” Genesis 2:18-25.

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the WHOLE FAMILY in heaven and earth is named” Ephesians 3:14-15.

“And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judæa beyond Jordan; 2 and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it” Matthew 19:1-12.

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh” Ephesians 5:21-31.

“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

THE GOSPEL MADE ME – AND MADE THE DIFFERENCE IN ME

THE GOSPEL MADE ME – AND MADE THE DIFFERENCE IN ME: I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL!
 
“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT of darkness, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to give the light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ . . .13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God” 2 Corinthians 4:6, 13-15.
 
“. . . 5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE us ABLE ministers of the NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:1-6.
 
“The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 6 THE LINES ARE FALLEN UNTO ME IN PLEASANT PLACES; YEA, I HAVE A GOODLY HERITAGE. 7 I will BLESS the Lord, who hath GIVEN me counsel: my REINS also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have SET the Lord always before me: because he is at my RIGHT HAND, I shall not be moved” Psalms 16:5-8.
 
“I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 FOR IN THE GOSPEL THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS REVEALED, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-1/AMP.
 
“Yea, so have I STRIVED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.

THE TOTAL [COMPLETE, WHOLE] GOSPEL

By Leave a Comment

THE TOTAL [COMPLETE, WHOLE] GOSPEL: IT’S FOR THE TOTAL [COMPLETE, WHOLE] MAN – SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY!

“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” 1 Thessalonians 5 :23.

Being whole and desiring a wholesome living and wholesome being is not magical or farfetched as some may think or imagine. Being sound in life and grace is not in a distance places far off from you – it’s within your grasped. It’s what the Gospel “IS” – and will “DO” as when PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED. And the TOTAL (Complete, whole) GOSPEL for TOTAL (Complete, Whole) MAN indicates but not limited:
Sin forgiveness, which entails – Spiritual Emancipation of the deadened and depraved human spirit;
Sound mind, which entails – Soul transformation by the WORD; and
Bodily Healing which entails – Divine Health Restoration.
 
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS GOSPEL STATEMENT AS SAID?
“The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus BEGAN both to DO and TEACH, 2 until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given COMMANDMENTS unto the apostles whom he had chosen” Acts 1:1-2.
 
Known for the truth that – MAN (a non-gender in you) is a triune (tripartite) being, indicating MAN is a spirit-being, has a SOUL (conscious of the – will, mind, reasoning (articulate), emotion) and lives in a BODY (clay, humus, sand, dust). The MAN in the HUMAN (HU-MAN), meaning the MAN in the BODY (humus – clay, sand, dust) is a spirit-being. Otherwise, the body (humus – clay, sand, dust) that rakes lots of money from us to maintain as so important we think, is nothing outside the MAN that dwells therein, hence at death, the BODY (humus – clay, sand, dust) is sent to the ground and left to decay and degrade into the ground where it was made and structured from in creation [Genesis 2:7; Genesis 3:17-19]; while on the other hand, the MAN, the spirit-being, return to the maker and creator God with the soul consciousness [Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:7; Revelation 4:11; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-6]; and knowing full well, that while man was made by God, He breathed life into the hu-man in order to become a living soul-being [Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4].
 
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and man became a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7.
 
“But there is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8.
 
“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” Job 33:4.
 
And it is by the WORD, which is the person of Christ Jesus (Hebrews 4 :12-13; John 1:1-5; 1 John 5:7), who is the GOSPEL himself, being PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED, that the total (complete, whole) man can be liberated by the pure, true and wholesome GOSPEL.
 
“And he said unto them, GO ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 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.
 
And by the blessed Holy Spirit that is given to us and that dwells in us [Romans 5:5; John 14:15-17], working in conjunction by the WORD, thus help to – energise and synergies – in ensuring that our mortal body is quickened – being kept alive daily, as we minister the Gospel to it accordingly.
 
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:11.
 
Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, though He’s the Gospel, equally PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED the Gospel according to the Scriptures [Matthew 9:35; Luke 8:1-3]. And in humanity, He also experienced the total (complete, whole) GOSPEL effect too in His earthly-being. [Luke 2:52; 1 Timothy 3:16]. This thus indicates that the GOSPEL is life and life-giving to all who will give attention to hear and receive it graciously and gracefully, when PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED accordingly.
 
“And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM (MENTAL) and STATURE (PHYSIQUE), and in FAVOUR with God (SPIRITUAL) and man (SOCIAL)” Luke 2 :52 Emphasis Mine.
 
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, seen of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.
 
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have not HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the feet of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all OBEYED THE GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17.
 
It’s my earnest prayer today and right now, that you experience the fullness of the total GOSPEL for your total well-being as have this opportunity now to read this GOSPEL message for your TOTAL (complete, whole) BEING and give your hearing ears to hear only the TOTAL GOSPEL that emancipates and results in your complete wholeness, and nothing else that’s contrary to your total wellbeing in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“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” 1 Thessalonians 5 :23.
 
“For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a discerner of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.
 
Take time to ponder over the GOSPEL SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS below for your perusal and you can ascertain your wholeness experience as PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERD by our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity and others – and as presently possible by His WORD today. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 21 for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be WHOLE. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath MADE thee WHOLE. And the woman was made WHOLE from that hour” Matthew 9:20-22 (Matthew 14:34-36; Matthew 15:27-28).
 
“And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging . . . 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath MADE thee WHOLE. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way” Mark 10:46, 51-52 (46-52); Mark 6:53-56
“. . . 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath MADE thee WHOLE” Luke 17:15-19 (11-19); (Luke 8: 46-56).
 
“. . . 9 And immediately the man was MADE WHOLE, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath . . . 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: SIN NO MORE, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had MADE him WHOLE” John 5:9, 14-15 (1-15) (John 7:23).
 
“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.
 
“. . . 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 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” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.
 
“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.
 
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have COMMANDED you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.
 
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 by which also YE ARE SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; 4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES . . . 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye believed” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME

By Leave a Comment

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S A SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDING MINISTERIAL CALLING!
 
“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN OVER THE CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD THEM OUT, and which may BRING THEM IN; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not AS SHEEP which have NO SHEPHERD” Numbers 27:15-17.
 
You are either CALLED or NOT. Everyone CALLED is a MESSENGER. And every MESSENGER is GIVEN a SPECIFIC and SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT with a MESSAGE to FEED the FLOCKS – God’s own Heritage – with the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that’s TOWARD God and His Christ, and NOT TOWARD man or creation at all. John 17:3/Jeremiah 3:15.
 
“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance TOWARD God, and faith TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
 
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.
 
Those NOT CALLED, are not MESSENGERS but HIRELING – Thieves and Robbers – John 10:8, 12-13. And with such there is NO MESSAGE nor any specific given assignment of God but that of their self indulgence, extortion, gratification, men applaud and egotism under the influence of satanic/demonic and cohorts mission. This is the reason for – Adulteration, Schism, Bewitching, Robbery, Dogmas, Sorcery, Falsehoods, Confusion and such like, in the body Ministry of the Gospel, indicating and supposedly the signs of the last days – [Philippians 1:15-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 3:1-7].
 
These sets of SELF-MADE-UP and SELF-CALLED Pastors, are full of fables, philosophy of men, endless genealogies, vain jangling, teachers of idealism and realism, denominational made up creeds, religious bigots, sectarianism, man-made tradition and dogmas that leads people to further bondages and hence makes God’s WORD of no effect in the Gospel. [1 Timothy 1:1-11; Colossians 2:8; Mark 7:1-13].
 
PASTORAL MINISTRY? It’s not an Office Position – It’s a set Ministerial Calling – It’s a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING that is principled with responsibility and accountability in Christ Jesus stead, for the GLORY and PRAISE of God. [Galatians 6:14-16; Revelation 4:11]. It’s a set MINISTERIAL calling to FEED God’s people without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation ; and to LEAD them healthily in purposeful LEADERSHIP as God’s REDEEMED, PRECIOUS and BLESSED people; and not to the BOSS and DOMINEER people around for self gratification and egotism. There’s no room for SELF INTEREST and SELFISHNESS in the PASTORAL MINISTRY as a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING of God.
 
“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.
 
“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.
 
Also, you are either sent by God as John the Baptist and the Disciples as in the Gospel days or you are your own sending. God does call and send [John 1:6-36; Mark 6:7-13]. Those he called and send, He keeps and protects and defends. It’s not about liking the Ministerial outfits but being called and sent forth should be paramount. Send forth could be to a person to enhanced the calling or to a people, or to a generation or to a dispensation or to a community or to a special group of people. You must know the definition of the calling and sending before taking a step because of the warfare and many uncertainty and unknown in cause and course of that obedience demands without having any reason to regrets your step of faith to advance the kingdom of our God and to keep the Enemy and cohorts at bay.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:
“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.
 
“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.
 
“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.
 
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is A THIEF AND A ROBBER. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers . . . 11 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine . . .” John 10:1-18.
 
“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.
 
“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.
 
“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 THAT FRUSTRATETH THE TOKENS OF THE LIARS, AND MAKETH DIVINERS MAD; THAT TURNETH WISE MEN BACKWARD, AND MAKETH THEIR KNOWLEDGE FOOLISH; 26 THAT CONFIRMETH THE WORD OF HIS SERVANT, AND PERFORMETH THE COUNSEL OF HIS MESSENGERS; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof” Isaiah 44:24-26.
 
“There was a man SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, TO BEAR WITNESS OF THE LIGHT, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:1-36.
 
“And he called unto him the twelve, and began to SEND them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9 but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 10 And he SAID unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them” Mark 6:7-13.

HIS LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS

By Leave a Comment

HIS LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS: HE’S THE LIGHT TO DISPEL EVERY DARKNESS!
 
“O house of Jacob, COME YE, and let us WALK IN THE LIGHT of the Lord” Isaiah 2:5.
 
There’s the need to walk in the light than there has ever been in human history. The level of darkness of the untruth has overshadowed and overwhelmed many today – and that fears of darkness and all it stands to portray now lives within many than ever before in our today’s acts of doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Darkness speaks of evil and wickedness, lies and untruth, hypocrisy and prejudice, sentiment and dissimulation, and such like that depicts the devil and cohorts that perpetual and symbolises darkness and it effects. LIGHT on the other hand indicates and signifies the hallmark of Development, Progress, Freedom, Victory, Triumph, Illumination, Enlightenment, Productivity, Fulfilment, Purposeful Living, Colourful Living, Meaningful Living and such like. And when one gets into the LIGHT that Christ is and provides, and start acting on His WORD in that LIGHT, it’s apparent, one will receive illumination and enlightenment against all forms of DARKNESS as it’s written:
“Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world; he that follows me shall not WALK in DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT of LIFE” – John 8:12.
 
“But the PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE AND MORE unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.
 
Until one finds light in the light that Lord Jesus Christ is and provides, there can’t be true illumination and enlightenment from darkness. You are as FREE from any forms of DARKNESS by the illumination and enlightenment you have RECEIVED in you of Christ Jesus, who is the Saviour, Lord and King. Amen.
 
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is LIGHT, and in him is NO DARKNESS at all. 6 If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with him, and WALK IN DARKNESS, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we WALK IN THE LIGHT, as he is in the LIGHT, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and the BLOOD of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US” 1 John 1:5-10.
 
To HAVE and WALK in Christ Jesus LIGHT is to WALK in His WORD. And when you find the LIGHT of Christ Jesus in you, ‘THAT’ DARKNESS in your – Marriage, Marital Choices, Relationship, Finance, Career, Ministry, Leadership and more – will disperse and dispel with ease by the power and grace in Christ light. And you will know and experience what it means to have a life without sweat, stress, pressure and depression. Christ light indicates God’s favour, wisdom and speed to thrive, succeed, triumph, overcome and win victoriously in His leisure and with meaningful fulfillment.
 
“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” John 1:1-5.
 
When you resolved even now, being today, to allow and follow Christ Jesus light, you will never walk in darkness, but His light will illuminates and enlighten every darkness, so that you can see all about you that pertains to doing life and living godly in God’s divine Plan, Purpose and Pursuit in you.
It’s time to COLOUR and RAINBOW your life with the LIGHT that’s in and of Christ Jesus. Be Blessed in Life and Godliness in the LIGHT of Christ Jesus. Amen.

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION: IT’S OUR GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE SUPREME TASK!
 
“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.
 
Why do people get so worried that in the existence and presence of the Church, the embassy and ambassador of God for human and the world redemption, that the world is still going crazy in stupidity and foolishness, and in every bad taste of trajectory with wars, hunger, distortion, confusion and unstable governments and governance. The answer it’s simply because, for all the unimaginable problems in the world – all that the world do hear and see is today is nothing but RELIGION and DENOMINATION and DOCTRINAL sectarianism, sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Unlike the early Church Disciple’s and Apostle’s of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who PREACHED the GOSPEL and were acclaimed as people who do turned their world inside out or upside down by the GOSPEL they proclaimed and were set to die for the cause and course.
 
“. . . 6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME hither also . . .” Acts 17:1-7
“Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and PERCEIVED that they were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT men, they marvelled; and they took KNOWLEDGE of them, that they had BEEN with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it” Acts 4:13.
 
For a no GOSPEL world in any phase and dispensation, will indicate all the worries of today and such like that we see. For only by the GOSPEL that the world can experience the EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages, in order to have faith toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus and to receive the REVELATION by faith to faith, of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS (righteous stand) for complete liberation of all. Romans 5:1-2; Acts 20:20-21.
 
The consummation of God’s elect for man’s salvation with religion, denomination and doctrinal sect DOGMAS will not emancipate any, no matter how much investment and resources, instead it will get people enslaved in the DOGMAS and keep them to be devoted in commitment and dedication to such-like sectarianism of believe as we see across the board.
 
Religiously denominationised and doctrinal “GOSPEL” are very destructive and keeps people in perpetual subjection and bondages and dogmas as long it’s there. That’s why Apostle Paul warns the Galatians Church of their shift from the Gospel that brought them genuine salvation into “ANOTHER GOSPEL”.
 
“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.
 
For the GOSPEL is not a religion, denomination and doctrine but the POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation irrespective of gender, colour, tongue and geographical location and inclinations. [Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:26-29].
 
The Gospel has been before the law, the psalms and the prophet; and it answered those who are outbound and out-bent by the law, Psalms and prophet’s as basis and ground of faith toward God and His Christ rather than the gospel which is Christ and express in the WORD, of which He’s the WORD (John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7). God PREACHED the GOSPEL to Father Abraham through whom the whole nation and families shall be BLESSED on the earth, long before the law, the psalms and the prophets and others came to being. Meaning also, long before religion, denomination and doctrine, was crafted and shaped by men for all to be enslaved into as a sect.
 
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED BEFORE THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9 [2 Corinthians 5:17-21].
 
“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.
 
I am emboldened to say today, that any FOUNDATION that’s not centered on the GOSPEL wherein God’s power and wisdom are ascertained for human SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS, leads to SELF, HYPE and APPLAUD and ENTITLEMENTS of men and not after God and His Christ Jesus, for the good of all mankind in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Corinthians 1:18-24].

“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.
 
“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have NOT BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have NOT HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report? 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17.
 
“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was NOT SPOKEN of, they shall see: and they that have NOT HEARD shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.
 
“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.
 
“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.
 
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.
 
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 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.
 
“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.
 
“. . . 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. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 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 8:1-8.

GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYER

GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYER: AND PRAYER – IT’S MORE A FELLOWSHIP TO ENHANCE RELATIONSHIP – AND IT’S THE COMMUNION TO CHANGE YOUR WORLDS!

You can change that unpleasant WORLDS atmosphere by PRAYERS in grace – For God HEARS and ANSWER Prayers.

Amen.

“Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; 3 CALL unto me, and I will ANSWER thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:2-3.
 
“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to PRAY. 29 AND AS HE PRAYED, THE FASHION OF HIS COUNTENANCE WAS ALTERED (TRANSFORMED, TRANSFIGURED, DAZZLING), and his raiment was white and glistering . . .” Luke 9:28-36/Emphasis Mine.
 
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.
 
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent PRAYER of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings], and he PRAYED intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]” James 5:16-18/AMP.

LETS KILL THAT SELFISHNESS TODAY WITH UNSPEAKABLE JOY

By Leave a Comment

LETS KILL THAT SELFISHNESS TODAY WITH UNSPEAKABLE JOY: LETS MAKE THE SPIRIT OF GIVING – RULE THE DAY IN OUR WORLDS FOR OTHERS JOY!
 
“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with JOY UNSPEAKABLE and full of glory: 9 receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” 1 Peter 1:6-9.
 
I know sometimes it’s difficult to be out there for someone else when you are going through some personal challenges that are overwhelming too. But I have come to know and understand by God in Christ Jesus, that an exceeding great JOY – the unspeakable, indescribable and immeasurable joy – is experience in the love act of GIVING first to others, before the our trinity self which I called – I, Me and Myself, otherwise ascribed sometimes as the me, me and me. For it takes the desire to extend the unspeakable joy to others to kill the spirit of selfishness and self-centred life style. Living a selfless life towards God and man in Christ Jesus stead, it’s the only way to bear along others burden by the incredible opportunity that we may have that others don’t have. Life is about sharing the good and goodness to others who are vulnerable and limited to life resources with our abundance or even the so called little we have as the biblical widows mite we’ve all heard or read about.
 
“I have shewed you all things, HOW THAT SO LABOURING YE OUGHT TO SUPPORT THE WEAK, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” Acts 20:35.
 
“And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were RICH cast in much. 42 And there came a certain POOR widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this POOR WIDOW hath cast MORE in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 for all they did cast in of their ABUNDANCE; but she of her WANT did cast in all that she had, even all her living” Mark 12:41-44 [Luke 21:1-4].
 
The word JOY to me means J for JESUS – as the first, O for OTHERS as the next and Y for YOURSELF as the last. And I’ve found JOY indescribable and absolutely thrilling ever since I have learnt this act in my doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead through the years. And I highly recommend it’s application to you without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation, and it’s irrespective to whoever and whatever.
 
For the act of love and loving, is embedded in the spirit of GIVING to others first, hence, God so love that He GAVE first and the best, not leftovers and rejects. That’s the how to kill the selfishness and selfish spirit in you and about you, in order to make love purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling.
 
“For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.
 
Therefore, TODAY, while and when it’s called TODAY, think about what’s that GOOD and GOODNESS of you in terms of – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL – that you can GIVE to make a huge and great difference in someone else’s life without complaining and murmuring. That’s what love and loving is all about – in giving to someone else’s first, before the you-self trinity within. Endeavour to give it a go today and even now.
 
As said earlier, the fulness of JOY can be attributed as pleasing JESUS and OTHERS, then YOURSELF. Meaning preferring in this order as said FIRST [J] – Jesus and Second [O] – Others and before You [Y] – Yourself.
 
The exceeding great JOY of God is of the hearts, born in human spirit of love and loving. Therefore, put an end to SELFISHNESS – and start LOVING, start GIVING today and even now as an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.
 
I do pray that you may experience the exceedingly great and fulness of God’s joy today as you express your acts of love and loving in the GIVING first spirit today.
