HAPPY & BLESSED FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY: FATHERHOOD & FATHERING – It’s Spelt LOVE – 24/7!

Thank you, Father God, For the FATHER’S DAY

FATHERHOOD – It’s a Calling and Commission with responsibility and accountability under God; not understanding this principle makes parenting a joke, but not with God.

The Fatherhood of God is spelt L-O-V-E, which is above all things,  and it’s gracious, graceful, bright and beautiful. And as God’s children, every father should spell LOVE in their hearts, thoughts and prayers with love 24/7 in relation to the child/children under their care in Christ Jesus stead.

“And we have known and believed the LOVE that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in LOVE dwelleth in God, and God in him” 1 John 4:16.

“One God and FATHER of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:6.

FATHERHOOD and FATHERING – it’s a gracious and graceful RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY with God; for any man can be a DAD or DADDY, but to be a FATHER it’s more than a Dad or Daddy’s fun; it’s a Calling and commission with principled map under God.

I pray God’s GRACE, WISDOM and BLESSEDNESS to abound more and more to all FATHER’S there.

Have and enjoy in Christ Jesus stead – A HAPPY and BLESSED Father’s Day!

MAY YOU THRIVE, FIND MEANINGFUL PURPOSE AND FULFILMENT IN THIS CAUSE; AND ALWAYS REMEMBERING LOVE IS MADE BEAUTIFUL – EVEN IN FATHER’S HEARTS.

“For I have KNOWN him, in order that he may COMMAND his CHILDREN and his HOUSEHOLD after him, that they KEEP THE WAY of the Lord, to do RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE, that the Lord may BRING to Abraham what He has SPOKEN to him” Genesis 18:19.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11.

HAPPY & BLESSED FATHER’S DAY:  FATHERHOOD AND FATHERING SUNDAY TO ALL FATHER’S!

“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 1:14-15.

Thank you Father God for being first our heavenly and earthly Father and for all the Father’s there, and that are doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead, Amen.

I wish all Father’s and intending one’s a very Happy and Blessed Father’s day in this day FATHERHOOD AND FATHERING SUNDAY. May God gives you the fortitude, the enabling grace, wisdom and speed to be relevant in both life and godliness, to being a FATHER indeed. For the FATHERHOOD AND FATHERING IS A 24/7 AFFAIRS.

May you ALWAYS remember that any male can be a DAD, but to be a FATHER is a special call to dedication and commitment with the HEARTFELT love, care and instructions; it’s not that of the mere HEAD-STRONG will and actions of uncontrollable temperament. I therefore pray for you today, that God gives you meaningful fulfilment in all your labours in fathering your child/children; and an ever increasing wisdom and grace to keep on keeping on in this rare role of faithfulness in every way by Christ Jesus. I sincerely pray, that God will find us ever faithful in the responsibility and accountability of the principle of fatherhood and fathering, and say His goodness of us, as He said of father Abraham in the Holy Writ.

I pray God will COUNT and ACCOUNT on you as He did to Abraham with awesome TESTIMONY of fatherhood as it’s written in the holy writ:

“For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him” Genesis 18:19.

May you know today that FATHERHOOD and FATHERING is not a CURSE but a place of the BLESSEDNESS of God that encompasses BEAUTY, LOVE, GRACE, WISDOM and such like. And In the Light of Ephesians 3:14-21, I BOW MY KNEES and PRAY for you as a Father and all intending to be father’s into our Father God, in the light of the Scripture as Apostle Paul DID, on the BEHALF of the Ephesians Church:

“For this cause I BOW MY KNEES unto the FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the WHOLE FAMILY in heaven and earth is named, 16 that he would GRANT YOU, according to the riches of his glory, to be STRENGTHENED with might by his Spirit in the INNER MAN; 17 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. 20 Now unto him that is ABLE to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ASK or THINK, according to the POWER THAT WORKETH IN US, 21 unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21.

Thank you FATHER God, for the enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS, to be both a Father and Grandfather at this phase of my life. Truly grateful and thankful.

HAPPY AND BLESSED FATHER’S DAY,  FATHERHOOD and FATHERING SUNDAY TO YOU FATHER’S, IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY AND FATHERHOOD SUNDAY

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY AND FATHERHOOD SUNDAY: BE BLESSED IN THE GRACE!

“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.

Fatherhood is Family, and family is fellowship, and fellowship ensures relationship and relationship is nurturing. Are you a FATHER? Intending To BECOME? Yes You CAN! But know full well that ANY MAN can be a DAD or DADDY, but to be a FATHER, it takes a heartfelt Labour of LOVE, Work of FAITH, and Patience of HOPE in principle through Diligence, Services, Sacrifices, Commitments, Dedications, Tolerance, Patience, Goodness, Compassion and many more such like. FATHERHOOD is about fellowship to enhance our relationship with God. Adam lost that FATHERHOOD fellowship with God and it caused him the relationship. So, for we the redeemed children of God to actualise SCRIPTURAL FATHERHOOD, think God in fellowship to enhance relationship – meaning think family, where fellowship is nurtured to nurture relationships.

“We give thanks to God ALWAYS for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;  remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;  knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4.

More importantly, being a FATHER it’s about being the VOICE of God in the child or children life’s as  the Patriarch Father of Faith (Abraham) was to theirs, as affirmed of God, in God’s eternal PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – Genesis 18:19. To be responsible and accountable to God as such, being a Father it’s MUCH MORE THAN the material, physical, social and emotional provisions and supports, but also involve the gracious and graceful spiritual support in these ways:

  1. You are God’s PRIEST to stand in the gap in prayers before God, and to minister to God for family in all things.
  2. And as a PROPHET to hear from God on all matters of life and godly living for family.
  3. And as a KING to protect and defend your family from the enemy and cohorts against your family good and goods on earth, in Christ stead.

Let me recap again to you, to always remember dear father and the intended to become, that any man can be a Dad or Daddy, but to be a Father in a fatherly and fatherhood tasks, that it takes a heart-felt love of diligence, services, sacrifices, commitments and more. It’s about being the voice of God in the child or children lives as  the Patriarch Father of Faith – Abraham, whom our Father God could commend and affirm his fatherly and fatherhood path. [Genesis 18:19].

May our God, the Father of all flesh and spirit, Father you with the enabling grace and wisdom to father all that concerns you in fatherhood.

Do have a wonderful and blessed Father’s Day and a fatherly fatherhood celebration in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Fathers, do not PROVOKE your children to ANGER [do not exasperate them to the point of resentment with DEMANDS that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by showing favoritism or indifference to any of them], but bring them up [tenderly, with lovingkindness] in the DISCIPLINE and INSTRUCTION of the Lord” Ephesians 6:4/Amplified.

“Buy the truth and do not sell it—  wisdom, instruction and insight as well. 24 THE FATHER OF A RIGHTEOUS CHILD HAS GREAT JOY; A MAN WHO FATHERS A WISE SON REJOICES IN HIM. 25 May your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful” Proverbs 23:23-25.

“As a FATHER has COMPASSION on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him” Psalms 103:13.

“For I know him, that he will TEACH and COMMAND his children and household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do what is JUST and RIGHTEOUS that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he has SPOKEN and PROMISED him” Genesis 18:19.

“Fathers, do not PROVOKE or IRRITATE or EXASPERATE your children [with DEMANDS that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by favoritism or indifference; treat them tenderly with lovingkindness], so they will not lose heart and become discouraged or unmotivated [with their spirits broken]” Colossians 3:21/Amplified.

GOD’S POWER AND GRACE THROUGH AGAPE LOVE: IT’S GOD’S VITALITY FOR ONE TO WIN AND TRIUMPH IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING!

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

God’s love – AGAPE, it’s the vitality you need to do life and live through any phase of human endeavours by FAITH. The reason being that the LOVE of God is SHED abundantly and lavishly spread abroad in our HEARTS [the human spirit]  by the Holy Ghost, and it’s not of our head else it’s PERVERSION; and God has COMMENDED His LOVE toward us in Christ Jesus, which is makes it awesome and graciously gracious.

“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.

As you kick starts life demands today, being another opportunity to THRIVE and not SURVIVE, if you can start LOVING genuinely from the stagnation and famine that you’ve been in God’s AGAPE love, you can then experience the working POWER and GRACE of God that enhances your FAITH to win and triumph in life. For the POWER is too FUNCTION while the GRACE is to make you BECOME of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Herein are some SCRIPTURAL VITALITY OF LOVE for your perusal. Meditate and be blessed:

He that feareth is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:8, 16-18.

DON’T BE AN ECHO

By Leave a Comment

DON’T BE AN ECHO: BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE!

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

The Holy Scriptures of 2 Corinthians 5:19-21, declares that you are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus and an ambassador for Christ; Meaning, you are God’s VESSEL OF CHANGE for right living on earth as His Embassy and Ambassador [2 Timothy 2:19-21; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. God uses vessels and not ornaments. God needs and uses available vessels to put in His ability into such – in order to make the needed DIFFERENCE in humanity in our world; God does not need vessels that are of self ability that needs not His enabling for the good of others in His stead. Be wise to be that God’s VOICE – making the difference in humanity.

“. . . 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR . . .” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

Righteousness, the right to stand before God and on His behalf without fear, shame or guilt because of what Christ is done, is wired and imbedded in the DNA of your being, when you resolved to be a born again child of God in Christ Jesus stead. [Romans 5:17-21].

It is this right of grace to be not an echo but a voice that made John the Baptist, be the VESSEL of change to his generation. He dare to be the VOICE for righteousness in the wilderness gathering, and him being of God’s righteousness to give the hope to live in God and through God to others of his time and generation as it’s written:

“. . . The WORD of the Lord CAME to John the son of Zacharias in the WILDERNESS . . . THE VOICE of one CRYING [PREACHING] in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight . . . Then SAID he to the MULTITUDE that CAME FORTH TO BE BAPTIZED OF HIM, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? BRING FORTH THEREFORE FRUITS WORTHY OF REPENTANCE, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire . . .” Luke 3:1-18.

Dear Friend, let us silence the spirit of cowardice in our life’s to our generation for we are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus; therefore, let us dare to be the VOICE for righteousness in our families, neighbourhood, places of doing life and in our position of noble grace and opportunities.

Endeavour to be APPROVED of God as His VOICE on earth making the DIFFERENCE toward others by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS rather than being an echo that’s lives on the HYPE and APPLAUD of men for self gratification and ego. God seek for vessels and not ornaments, and for your availability and not ability in Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

YOU ARE GOD’S EMBASSY AND AMBASSADOR – BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE IN HUMANITY IN OUR WORLD.

BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS.

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. 18 And all things ARE of God, who HATH reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath GIVEN to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 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.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and PREPARED UNTO EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“For if by the trespass of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one (Adam), much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one trespass [Adam’s sin] there resulted condemnation for all men, even so through one act of RIGHTEOUSNESS there resulted justification of life to [a]all men. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience [his failure to hear, his carelessness] the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one Man the many will be made righteous and acceptable to God and brought into right standing with Him. 20 But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS which brings eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21 Amplified.

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER

By Leave a Comment

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER: THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON – EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT!

“Dear brothers, is your life FULL OF DIFFICULTIES and TEMPTATIONS? Then be HAPPY, 3 for when the way is ROUGH, your PATIENCE has a chance to GROW. 4 So let it GROW, and don’t try to SQUIRM OUT of your problems. For when your PATIENCE is finally in FULL BLOOM, then you will be READY for anything, STRONG IN CHARACTER, FULL AND COMPLETE” James 1:2-4/Living Bible [TLB].

Sometimes doing life by the book, and the right things as expected in all goodness, may seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and getting the expected helps to ensure that the good decisions that one have made or to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand of  such circumstances. And if that’s your circumstances, God is good and faithful, true and sure to answer you in all MATTERS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

However, no matter how unfair doing life and doing the right things may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, FOR TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER; and as long as you keep on keeping up in Faith, and as one that has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness and to His promises, there’s going to be an ANSWER. For being steadfastly and diligence and patience, in the grace through faith, so will God cause to have access to our promise inheritance in Him.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO MINISTER. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12/Emphasis Mine.

There’s the need to know full well and be assured, that every challenges has an appointed time, that is to say, there’s an end game time and date set to it under the sun no matter how long it last or stays; the Holy Writ indicates that – the expectations of the one who keeps on keeping up to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off as written:

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:8.

When you ARE assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work together for your good, happiness and peace. So did God to His promise to Abraham. All things eventually came together to a perfect, complete and whole answers to all expectations of God.

“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” Romans 8:28.

“. . . I have made you a FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, BEFORE WHOM HE BELIEVED, even God . . . Who (Abraham) AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being FULLY PERSUADED that, what He (God) had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

So today, no matter how much you’ve war to do the right things and the journey seems long or or longer, you need to keep on keeping up in faith. For faith is the VICTORY to overcome all trials of your journey in order to thrive and be more than conquerors over the world system of doing life that has stood in your path of progress and success. Faith, which is the corresponding action on what you believe on God’s WORD will surely locate you with your expectations as written:

“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.

THERE MAY BE TOUGH TIMES – BUT TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER. THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT.

I pray that our good and faithful, true and sure God, will keep you in grace and strengthen you courageously and keep you keeping on in faith, in Christ Jesus stead – until your BLESSEDNESS in Him is actualised meaningfully and purposefully.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing . . . 12 Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion)” James 1:2-4, 12-14. (Amplified).

“Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]. 13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]” 1 Corinthians 10:12-3. Amplified.

“CASTING ALL YOUR CARE upon him; for he CARETH for you. 8 Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST in the FAITH, KNOWING THAT THE SAME AFFLICTIONS ARE ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR BRETHREN THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:7-11.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL) to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO MINISTER. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12/Emphasis Mine.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without wavering; (for He is FAITHFUL that promised;) . . . 35 Cast Not Away therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall LIVE by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK unto PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the SAVING of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

A mere act of being religious, ceremonious, sectarian and relying on motivational positive thinking words and comfort from a religiosity speaking dogma whose intentions may momentarily make one feel good and be excited and enthusiastic toward one’s desire for a while; just know that it can’t LIBERATE one neither can it give one the GENUINE in-born FREEDOM of the FAITH on ‘THE TRUTH’; for the TRUTH is only possible in God’s WORD and stationed in the human spirit where the FAITH to daily victory and triumph can be exercised in the grace. For you are born of God, it’s needful to COMMUNICATE THE TRUTH in context – and the TRUTH is THE WORD and in THE WORD, and it’s efficacious in the now and always, as you enact it scripturally to be well and whole in LIFE and GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. 4 In HIM was life; and THE LIFE was THE LIGHT of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . .14 And THE WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14.

Communication could be verbal or in action, through any formats of reaching out to meet matters for self or others about us. When you communicate THE WORDS of this life as the holy writ of Acts 5:20 suggests that we should do, that is, to speak ‘THE TRUTH’ not just TRUTH. For only ‘THE TRUTH’ known and believed and spoken forth can SET one FREE and bring forth the freedom LIBERATION, TRIUMPH, VICTORY and such like, that one needs to do and live life effectually and efficiently in Christ Jesus stead.

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people, all The WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE , RESULTS ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

THE TRUTH, which is THE WORD, is spirit and life; and hence, a life giver and life giving, when communicated in TRUTH, as the Holy Writ does indicates – John 6:63. More so, the Ministering spirits – the Angelic messengers – of our God unto us, only LISTEN or HARKEN to ‘THE VOICE OF THE WORD‘ and nothing else, in carrying out their angelic services concerning us and all. They are in the ministering services to listen to the noise and shouting around except the THE WORD that personifies THE TRUTH. So, communicate THE TRUTH, THE WORD if you wants to enjoy the angelic ministry of God in our time as enjoined Scripturally.

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

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO His commandments HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

When you communicate THE WORD, which is THE TRUTH, you are communicating JESUS personified. He is THE TRUTH, and He is THE WORD. The article ‘THE’ in the context “THE WORD, THE TRUTH, personified Jesus. And what that means is this – that what Jesus Christ, would have done presently and physically if he was in humanity before you right now, is what THE WORD, THE TRUTH will and would do for you NOW and ALWAYS, as Him present with you. THINK ABOUT IT.

“Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

That’s the reason, when you read the Holy Bible, don’t read it as you would have read any other book, because the Holy Spirit, the author, is ever present, to personified the Scriptures literally for your good in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. You then read the Bible in the FACE of JESUS personified in your inner being to enable you AUTHENTICATE and ENACT the SCRIPTURES, otherwise, you will only be filled with passion, knowledge of ‘THE WORD’ and not having the UNDERSTANDING of the application that brings about the needed ‘THE TRUTH’ to make life simplified. John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7; John 14:6; John 8:32.

Know full well, that it is only by the “THE TRUTH” one know of “THE WORD” that SETS one FREE; and that also GIVES one the needed LIBERATION from destruction and the HEALINGS in every facets of one’s being in Christ Jesus stead. The TRUTH gives THE LIFE needed to thrive in God in Christ Jesus, gives THE LIGHT to illuminate one from the errors of darkness and the darkness of life; and shows one THE WAY and THE PATH of God in Christ Jesus, to do life and live godly, in order to enjoy the very best and fulness of God. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18; John 1:1-5.

And the FAITH to overcome the world system comes by THE WORD. Meaning, a no – THE WORD, means a no FAITH, because there’s a no – THE TRUTH, which is needed to communicate to the HEAVENLY for our EARTHLY affairs to be resolved SCRIPTURALLY. Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5. It worth pondering if I were you.

Just know today and always, that – communicating THE TRUTH, is about communicating THE WORD, leading to knowing THE WAY and experiencing THE LIGHT. Hence, there is the NEED to know and understand – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

By Leave a Comment

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE – THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

“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.

Everyone wants the best of God in all they do and wants to do in life and godly living; but not everyone wants to be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH STAND IN THE GRACE as expected of all who WANTS the best out of God and to be FULFILLED in all about life and living godly. This I have known and have come to realised in course of time, in dealing with many in the cause of personalised FAITH-BASED and GODLY-INSPIRED COUNSELING SURGERY sections that happens now and always on a day-by-day basis. Some don’t want to share and partake in the PRINCIPLE of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled purpose in God, in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all which can’t happen, no matter the religion and sacrificial activities one thus engaged to make up. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the main switchboard act of faithfulness to the cause to advance God’s Kingdom and to keep the enemy at bay.

“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3-6.

It was in OBEDIENCE that our Saviour and Lord keyed into, while in humanity, to become the author of eternal salvation toward all who  intend in God to experience same like FULFILMENT, in FAITHFULNESS and all GOODNESS to DIVINELY driven PURPOSE as it’s written concerning our Lord Jesus Christ:

“. . . 7 Who in THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 THOUGH HE WERE A SON, YET LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED; 9 and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec”  Hebrews 5:1-10.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

I learnt very early in my Christian life that REBELLION to the CAUSE of God is as equivalent to the sinful consequences apportion to one entangled with WITCHCRAFT and even STUBBORNNESS. There’s no place with God for those who thrive in disobedient to the cause of God. And all who knows the truth and manipulates it for their unrighteous causes to  distort, adulterate and pervert the cause of advancing the TRUTH of the Kingdom of God from sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation  and to also keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in OBEYING the voice of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY is better than sacrifice SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is as the sin of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I FEARED the people, and OBEYED their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“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.

This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship to RULE and to REIGN in the given opportunity in the grace. And some Believer’s have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship to reign and rule in civility in the grace and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION in godliness in the grace. While some claim to acknowledge it, yet in OBEDIENCE to the scriptural demands to enable them TRIUMPH and be VICTORIOUS in life and godliness, are always find wanting, by their impatience as found in King Saul to act without minding that the consequences therein are sometimes fatal and irreversible.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.c

“Ye also, as lively stones,Xxxx are built up a spiritual house, an HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . .9 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 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, and the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, is working tirelessly and timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. [1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11]. He knows he has a short time to parade around, and needs to recruit many to be a part of his fallen state destination. And one great old tricks attributes he has and have always use and succeed, is to make people disobey the CAUSE of God in their life’s. He tried it with Adam through Eve in Eden and it works. Over the years he has fought heard to ensure many fall shorts of obeying God’s heavenly mandate upon their life’s. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN.

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not carnal [fleshy, man-made], but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the KNOWLEDGE of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Emphasis Mine.

When one turns into using physical process in a set spiritual warfare, you give the ENEMY and COHORTS of your FAITH journey with God, the permission to obstruct your path of OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE. Fighting spiritual warfare in the flesh – in the sense instincts of – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching/feeling and tasting, will always allude one from the VICTORY and TRIUMPH earnestly designed of God for His people in everyway and places. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:3-5; Isaiah 54:13-17].

It is in OBEDIENCE that we find PLEASURE and fulfilment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we ARE made to INHERIT of God. One key principle of OBEDIENCE, is the attitudes of having PATIENCE OF HOPE – [1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 6:12]. When our FAITH is in obedience motion, to God’s heavenly mandate, we need to set PATIENCE with HOPE in the CAUSE of doing life and living godly; otherwise, we will end up like King Saul, for his impatience to wait for Prophet Samuel arrival to carry on the expected according to God’s detailed instructions. When we are in HASTE to become in life, against God’s time scale as King Saul was, we are bound to undermine our DIVINELY giving instructions to go and satisfy then the FLESHLY-RULED and BODILY-RULED demand, which works against God’s given instructions. And that’s the danger of many today. Attributing GAIN as GODLINESS. What a wrong concept to MEASURE and LEGISLATE SPIRITUALITY in heavenly mandate of God by GAINS instead of being faithful to fulfil PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. [Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1 Timothy 6:3-6].

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN ONLY YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE in God’s enabling grace in the faith. For then you can take the VICTORY and TRIUMPH stand, by OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, as obey you Him worthily and serve Him acceptably in the grace, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS IN PROSPERITY, and their YEARS IN PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a FOUNDATION a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a SURE FOUNDATION: he that BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:26.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be RICH shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in burnt OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and TO HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is AS the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED the word of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

God wants you strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS is you DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what the Apostle was living with and through to advance the cause of the Kingdom of our God and to keep the enemy at bay. They were emboldened to witness for the cause of the Gospel because the great enabling of grace and power of God by the Holy Spirit was active in their work in the Lord God. And upon such act of grace they stand firmly in the faith to authenticate and enact whom they believe and what they believe and why they believe.

“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.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 GRACE and PEACE be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfilment in life and ministry.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“And He said to me, “My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGHT is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). God wants you to be strong and emboldened in the faith as you do life and live godly by Him in Christ Jesus stead. Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are  living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES. Let your strength comes from the Lord in every aspects of doing life in the grace by God’s enabling power.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak BOLDLY, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10, 19-20.

And considering all your rising early and coming late in day to day routines and schedules – How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands. How do you endeavour to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT. These and many other quest not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

 

“And He said to me, “My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGHT is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.
