YOU ARE REDEEMED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE REDEEMED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH! 

Do you know what? I am so spirited, super excited, graciously happy, genuinely rejuvenating and absolutely overwhelmed with unspeakable joy and peace – simply for the daily KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that – Christ had REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the FALL and of the LAW; for the LAW was as a consequence and results of the FALL. This makes my intent in Christ Jesus, more of a reality, awesomely and amazingly driven to POSSESSING OUR POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION. 

Much more, we are REDEEMED from the summed curse EFFECT and STING of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. When you know and understand this, then your only responsibility is to APPROPRIATE, ENACT and ENSURE it by grace through FAITH toward GOD in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 5:1-2. For it is your spiritual – vital and legal RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus, to POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS in Him. Amen. 

In the OLD TESTAMENT, the BLESSING of God was based on CONDITION – that is, CONDITIONALITY; but in the NEW TESTAMENT for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus, God’s BLESSING is GIVEN, based on the DONE work of Christ Jesus for our REDEMPTION. Hence, I am emboldened to say that our REDEMPTION BLESSING – IS A DONE DEED. Just your act of Faith on the believe of the done deed is all you need to do. Even as Abraham BELIEVED the GOSPEL PREACHED to Him and he RECEIVED, so can we RECEIVE ‘WHEN’ not on the ‘IF’, we also BELIEVE as it’s written – 2 Corinthians 4:13, Galatians 3:6-9. Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen. 

Be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

YOU ARE REDEEMED AND BLESSED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH! 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

Do you know what? I am so spirited, super excited, graciously happy, genuinely rejuvenating and absolutely overwhelmed with unspeakable joy and peace – simply for the daily KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that – Christ had REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the FALL and the CURSE of the LAW; for the CURSE of the LAW was a consequence and result of the CURSE of the FALL. This makes my intent in Christ Jesus more of a reality, awesomely and amazingly driven to POSSESSING OUR POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION. 

Much more, we are REDEEMED from the summed curse EFFECT and STING of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. When you know and understand this, then your ONLY responsibility is to APPROPRIATE, ENACT to ENSURE it by GRACE through FAITH toward GOD in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 5:1-2. For it is your spiritual – vital and legal RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus, to POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS in Him. Amen. 

In the OLD TESTAMENT, the BLESSING of God was based on terms of CONDITION – that is, CONDITIONALITY hence it’s of “IF” – Deuteronomy 28: 1-14; but in the NEW TESTAMENT for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus, God’s BLESSING is GIVEN, based on the DONE work of Christ Jesus for our REDEMPTION – Ephesian 1:3; Romans 4. 

I am emboldened to say that our REDEMPTION BLESSING – IS A DONE DEED. That’s why your ACT OF FAITH on the BELIEVE of the DONE DEED is all you need to do. Even as Abraham BELIEVED the GOSPEL PREACHED (Galatians 3:6-9) – to Him and he RECEIVED his BLESSEDNESS, so can we RECEIVE ‘WHEN’ we BELIEVE not on the ‘IF’ we BELIEVE- and now we can say also – we BELIEVE to RECEIVE – as it’s written – 2 Corinthians 4:13. Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen. 

“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” 2 Corinthians 4:13 

Be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus to thrive in your REDEMPTION.

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD 

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING! 

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45. 

In course of time, I have seen how some so-called Believers who just want to wake up in the Christian faith with everything readily ready for them at no cost. There are some who will not take a stand in Christ Jesus, but want to get everything readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost; and while there are some too, who are without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead, but thinks it’s their entitlement to have anything at no cost. While in another scenario, there are some Believers who wants to wake up on a Church gathering services day, expecting a perfect church services section that’s readily set, with music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set, and such like, as may be applicable, with no iota of their input. These are the Believers, so-called, who want to belong but want to have a beautiful atmosphere, and gracious environment to enjoy a good outlook service while they are there without a participatory contribution to the desired outcome. 

“NOT FORSAKING our meeting together [as BELIEVERS for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT of SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified.  

And these set of nonchalant Believers who are less or of no concerns to play a role in the act of BELONGING to their set Church gathering place, which they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, are already knowingly and unknowingly hindering their own Blessedness. The concept to see that other Believers, but not them, are to do the needed good setting atmosphere for great gatherings indicates pure ignorance to spiritual understanding; and to watch others working for the common good and goodness that ensures that the environmental demands for great meetings are in place, with everyone participating shows how shortsighted such a group are in the affairs of the Kingdom of God. Everyone in the kingdom is given the measure of faith and grace to enable them participate in the kingdom affairs – and not having one’s hands involved to make good to be done collectively, and with the hearts of BELONGING – it’s already an indicator that such a person or group can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BECOMING in Christ Jesus stead. 

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3. 

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7. 

I want you dear reader to know that the Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made FLESH [HUMAN], 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 1:12-14/Emphasis Mine. 

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead. 

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO-scriptural WORD of God as the basis of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

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

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition. 

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

For many times I have seen Church folks being very skeptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in every way of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship. 

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition. 

And sometimes most of these excuse-givers and absentee Believers give some frivolous reasons that are simply born out of their fear and phobia or that they may lose out if they make such an act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately, some of them, with all their act of being skeptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despise toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literally obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging to His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious, and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus. 

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition. 

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus’ stead is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE nor a DOCTRINAL, nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogmas that’s just there to be known and applied. 

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God. 

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition. 

“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP. 

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear and phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 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 1:12-14. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30. 

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24. 

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45. 

“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. 

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23. 

“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 . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24. 

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10. 

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 4:1-25 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of faith in Christ Jesus and the need for believers to believe, belong, and become in God’s plan. It highlights the consequences of not having faith and the benefits of trusting in God’s Word. 

Key Points: 

  1. Faith is crucial: Faith is the key to becoming and functioning in God’s plan. Without faith, it’s impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
  2. Believe, belong, become: Believers must believe in Christ Jesus, belong to His Church, and become part of God’s plan to experience His blessedness.
  3. God’s Word is foundation: God’s Word is the foundation of faith, and believers must trust in its truth and promises.
  4. Faith is active: Faith is not just a passive belief but an active trust that brings results and enables believers to function and become in God’s plan.
  5. Consequences of unbelief: Those who don’t believe will miss out on God’s blessedness and face consequences (John 3:16-18).
  6. Examples of faith: Abraham, David, and other biblical figures demonstrated faith and were blessed by God (Romans 4:1-25, Galatians 3:6-9).
  7. Faith brings righteousness: Faith in Christ Jesus brings righteousness and makes believers children of God (Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:26-29). 

Scriptural Emphases: 

  • “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). 
  • “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). 
  • “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). 

Call to Action: 

Believers are encouraged to dare to believe in God’s Word, belong to His Church, and become part of His plan to experience His blessedness and power.

TWO DISTINCTION – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM

By Leave a Comment

TWO DISTINCTION – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM: THE CONTEXT ON HOW YOU CAN BECOME – IN HIM AND ON HIM – IF YOU BELIEVE! 

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24. 

One great aspect of God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS is that there’s graciousness for everyone seeking Him in Christ Jesus stead. Whether you are pursuing BELIEVING IN HIM or and BELIEVING ON HIM, you can BECOME in Him. It’s just for you to know that you have to BELIEVE to RECEIVE in order to BECOME in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

There are two distinct aspects of BELIEVING to RECEIVE from God and BECOME what you believe. BELIEVING ON Him and BELIEVING IN Him are different, yet both are important in God’s REDEMPTION REALITIES. BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus (ON HIS NAME) and BELIEVING IN Christ Jesus (IN HIS NAME) toward the father show God’s graciousness in Christ Jesus. Both are vital for understanding His BLESSEDNESS. Amen. 

  1. THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] 

    For one to BELIEVE ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] toward God, is for one to BELIEVE on His WILL to SAVE one as SINNER from the clutches and bondages of sin and sinful living, in order to access and obtain the good and goodness of God, for one’s own SALVATION in HIM. 

    “But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He power to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON His name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13. 

    “He that BELIEVETH ON Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED IN the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:18. 

    “. . . 25 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be SAVED, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:30-34. 

    “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever BELIEVETH ON me should not abide in darkness” John 12:46. 

    “And this is his commandment, That we should BELIEVE ON the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment” 1 John 3:23. 

  2. THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS [IN HIS NAME]:
    For one to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME], means to BELIEVE in His ability – the ENABLING POWER in the SERVICE of God, toward the Kingdom’s advance and to keep the enemy at bay. This is about a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus receiving the POWER [CAPACITY, ABILITY, ENABLING] of God for God’s Kingdom services – a sphere wherein the BELIEVING ONE in Christ Jesus exercises [enacts and authenticates] the enabling grace, ensuring and assuring God’s help. This is to receive what it takes to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, in life and godliness in the blessedness of Christ Jesus. So, BELIEVING IN or to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus is about receiving the enabling power as a BELIEVER, to BECOME in God with the needed assurance to ensure His purposeful will for you. 

“Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many BELIEVED IN His name, when they saw the miracles which He did” John 2:23. 

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which BELIEVE IN me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” Matthew 18:6 [Mark 9:42]. 

“Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that BELIEVETH IN me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and BELIEVETH IN me shall never die. BELIEVEST thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I BELIEVE that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” Mark 11:24-26. 

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye BELIEVE IN God, BELIEVE also IN me. . .. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake” John 14:1, 9-11. 

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have BELIEVED IN God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men” Titus 3:8. 

Whichever distinction you fall into, either as a SINNER needing salvation and a backslider needing restoration or a BELIEVER needing the help of God to live and accomplish His purpose in your life, BELIEVING is the access to RECEIVE in order to BECOME. Hence, you don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear of acceptance in starting or completing your life-given and intended plans, purposes and pursuits, for just to BELIEVE, you can seal the once -for-all, eternity, your BECOMING in GOD, in Christ JESUS. Amen.  

I want you to know full well, that your FAITH can go killing giants even when all things come to a halt, as you keep acting on the WORD to RECEIVE, by the BELIEVE/BELIEVING to BECOME. Meaning, nothing can stop you from BECOMING when you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH alive in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Jesus said, “. . . According to your FAITH be it unto you” Matthew 9:29, that is to – BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Hello Friend! you can BECOME what you BELIEVE in context – ON Him or IN Him today.  

May you BECOME in your BELIEVE as you RECEIVE God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine. 

“Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE for the one who BELIEVES and trusts [in Me]!” Mark 9:23/AMP. 

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it DEPENDS on them] it is impossible, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27]/AMP. 

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24. 

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45. 

“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. 

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13. 

“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He GAVE the right [the authority, the privilege] to BECOME children of God, that is, to those who BELIEVE in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]” John 1:12-13/AMP. 

“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!]” John 1:12-13/AMP Classic Edition. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23. 

“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 . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24. 

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10. 

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 4:1-25

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE 

By Leave a Comment

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE: YOU NEED TO BELIEVE TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He POWER [RIGHTS, ENABLING, ABILITY] TO BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12/Emphasis Mine. 

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING]: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10/Emphasis Mine. 

FAITH is Acting correspondingly on WHAT you BELIEVE on The WORD of GOD. As such, BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is passive while FAITH is active. You need to BELIEVE first for FAITH to be ACTIVATED. And FAITH is the currency of exchange and transactions in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus – our Saviour and Lord. Amen. That’s why your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world is very important to make your FAITH effective and efficient through acknowledging everything God has done in you in redemption in Christ Jesus. 

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT – PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN [BY REDEMPTION] Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine.  

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 WHO is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

You need to know full well that – it’s WHAT you BELIEVE that determines your functionality in the Kingdom and in your ability to OVERCOME life’s challenges. It thus means, you ARE a PRODUCT of your BELIEVING world. And if I may ask you today and right now – What do you BELIEVE IN (ADHERED TO, ACKNOWLEDGED) more? Do you BELIEVE in mere – men, religion, dogmas, creeds, bylaws, traditions, philosophy, rudiments, and tradition of this world…. or God’s scriptural and eternal, authoritative, prevailing, undiluted and unadulterated WORD? You need to know that – YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU’VE BELIEVED UNTIL NOW. You BECAME saved because you BELIEVED. And you RECEIVE ANSWERS to PRAYERS because of your BELIEVE. BELIEVE and be SAVED. 

“Therefore I say unto you, WHAT THINGS SOEVER ye DESIRE, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE [BECOME] them” Mark 11:24/Emphasis Mine. 

“. . . 27 And THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 and brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and THY HOUSE. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:25-34. 

Stop blaming others for where you are. It’s your responsibility and accountability to move forward in FAITH. Your state of being is a result of what you’ve BELIEVED and still BELIEVE. I hereby appeal to you, to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory and leverage in Christ Jesus. DARE to BELIEVE now and again to BECOME your reality in God’s WORD that saves, or you will be living in the sphere of fake, falsehoods, adulteration and counterfeiting – which leads to further bondages overtime. 

WHEN YOU WRONGLY BELIEVE, YOU WILL WRONGLY ACT IN FAITH – BY ACTING IN FATE 

Jesus asked two blind men (Matthew 9:27-30), “what do you BELIEVE?” Their answer made Him say, “Let it be according to your faith.” What they BELIEVED was rooted in WHOM they BELIEVED in. And that triggered and activated their FAITH, and they acted on it. They RECEIVED healing as they ACTED on their BELIEVE. They BECAME WHAT they BELIEVED, because of WHOM they BELIEVED in – God. 

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then TOUCHED he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine. 

Is your FAITH born out of what you BELIEVE to BECOME? it’s the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE, and RECEIVE heavenly OUTPOURING of grace and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s expedient you check your BELIEVING scripturally before taking any step you consider FAITH in the Kingdom – if you want the heavens to align with your EARTHLY affairs. 

“Now FAITH is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval. 3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP. 

I plead with you to dare to BELIEVE and be BELIEVING – all things are POSSIBLE to those who BELIEVE – all things are always POSSIBLE with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

Key points: 

  • You are a product of your believing world (1 John 5:3-5, Romans 10:8-10). 
  • BELIEVE is passive, while FAITH is active; BELIEVE first, then FAITH is activated (John 1:12, Romans 10:8-10). 
  • What you BELIEVE determines your functionality in the Kingdom and ability to overcome challenges (Matthew 9:27-30, Hebrews 11:1-3, 6).

“. . . 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 (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11/Emphasis Mine. 

It’s time to create, initiate, explore and innovate a new you in Christ Jesus by the reason of the DONE WORK of our REDEMPTION in Him. 

The PASSOVER – EASTER week and holiday may come and go, but the ESSENCE of PASSOVER lives on for all eternity. The ESSENCE of REDEMPTION in SUM was to end the three basic human failures in God’s sight, which originated from Adam in Eden – these failures being the consequence [effect] of SIN, namely the Sinful NATURE: 

“For He hath made Him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:21. 

  • Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN). 
  • Poverty (Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN) 
  • Sickness and Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN). 

These aforementioned are the effect, result and consequences of human depraved state resulting from SIN – the SINFUL NATURE; and the SINFUL NATURE is due to the fall in Eden resulting the placement of Adamic curses – CURSED OF THE FALL [Genesis 3:1-24] which leads to the CURSED OF THE LAW [Deuteronomy 28:15-68]. The SPIRITUAL DEATH gave birth to PHYSICAL DEATH and to the final blow – ETERNAL DEATH. Then the curse effect of SPIRITUAL DEATH brought about POVERTY and SICKNESS (PESTILENCE – DISEASE). 

Now, today, we can THANK God for our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which enables us to commemorate and celebrate our Triumphant Victory in Him; and to do LIFE and LIVE GODLY continually WITHOUT shame, fear, inferiority complexes and intimidations. For there is therefore NOW, no more CONDEMNATION, instead, is the enabling grace of God, GIVEN to us in Christ Jesus, in order to be functional and triumphant in our mortal being in Him. This enabling grace helps us to CREATE our REDEMPTION worlds over our human failures and limitations in every way of DOING LIFE [Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:14]. 

THEREFORE, IT THUS MEAN –  

  • that every Adamic mortal limitation can and has been quickened in REDEMPTION, and we are NOW made alive in REDEMPTION to live and reign in Christ Jesus, operating ABOVE and beyond those limitations in all life circumstances – [Ephesians 2; Colossians 2 & 3; Revelation 5:9-12; Colossians 1:12-14; 1 Peter 2:4-10]. 
  • You can live ABOVE your mortal being weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – [Romans 8:1-2, 9-11; 1 John 4:4-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Hebrews 11:1-3]. 
  • There’s the ENABLING POWER that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life, and duly BELIEVE in the accomplished work of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for them – [John 1:11-12; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 10:17-20]. 
  • There’s the enabling and empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – [Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; John 10:10]. 

Know that when Christ Jesus was betrayed and crucified, when He died and was buried, when He rose from the dead (grave), ascended, and was enthroned, the scriptures indicates and enjoined that we were in that process of REDEMPTION. And if you can actualise that IDENTIFICATION, the SPIRIT of the ESSENCE will begin to manifest in fullness in your life. 

Therefore, let that same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, in order to QUICKEN, that is, ACTIVATE your mortal being to live again, from every known and unknown Adamic limitations [Romans 5:12-21]. May the scriptures begin to be fulfilled in your life as written in Romans 8:11 in Jesus’ name. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH. 3 John 2. 

“. . . 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 (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine). 

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as RECEIVED him, to them GAVE he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:11-12. 

“. . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21. 

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

MONTH OF BLESSEDNESS – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”

By Leave a Comment

MONTH OF BLESSEDNESS – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE” 

“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. 

The Month APRIL is the fourth month of the year of the Gregorian and Julian calendar. It’s the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. And month of April is associated with springtime indicating – BLESSEDNESS, NEW BEGINNINGS, and a time to BLOSSOM, REFRESH and REJUVENATE, REKINDLE and MORE. 

And as Month April indicates the BLESSEDNESS of God, there’s the path to access and to have an entrance to the blessedness – which of cause, is a matter of BELIEVING – BECOMING A BELIEVING ONE; and as month April is a month associated with BLESSEDNESS, “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”. And this is in conjunction with what Jesus Christ did, when He put forth a BELIEVING question before the one in need of God’s BLESSEDNESS from Him, while in humanity. 

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24. 

For receiving God’s BLESSEDNESS is not by going to Church gathering services, being indoctrinated to a denominational creeds, bylaws, traditions and dogmas that ends up making the word of God of no effect – but it’s about our BELIEVE/BELIEVING, and in this case – on SCRIPTURAL stand, and it’s irrespective, and it’s without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. For when you WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] BELIEVE, you will also be WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] ACTING in the name of FAITH and be held down there by the bondage of religion and religiosity at your own detriments. 

“And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have DELIVERED: and MANY SUCH LIKE THINGS DO YE” Mark 7:12-13. 

Most times, it’s not a matter of having faith or exercising FAITH, but it’s a matter of – IF YOU ACTUALLY and GENUINELY BELIEVE on that which you ARE earnestly desiring of God. And upon what SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT do you BELIEVE, to enable you to ACT upon by FAITH – wherein you can then please God and make Him cause His WORD to tangibly manifest your reality in Him. 

“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. 

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45. 

Often, Jesus Christ would ask those looking up to Him for answers to their life questions – be it Health, sickness, family, relationship, peace, security, prosperity, career, business, marriage, etc. He wants to ensure their own assurance, so they won’t be confused and deceived by others afterwards about their BLESSEDNESS. Sometimes He asks – IF THEY DO BELIEVE TO OWN WHAT THEY BELIEVE HE CAN DO – especially on the request they are asking of Him. This checks if they are seeking answers out of their desperation for an immediate solution; then disappear and appear again when there’s another life challenges without a steadfast believing stand in the faith. For many just wants solution to their life problems and hurdles and not necessarily because they BELIEVE in the services of God in scriptural context. For many WALKED AWAY from Christ Jesus in His humanity ministerial cause for human redemption, especially when matters of their BELIEVING of Him was challenged by the necessary scriptural context He put out before them. [Kindly read in full – John 6:1-71]. 

“. . . 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye SEEK me, not because ye SAW [BELIEVE] the miracles, but because ye did EAT of the loaves, and were FILLED . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent . . . 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me hath everlasting life . . . 64 But there are some of you that BELIEVE NOT. For Jesus knew from the beginning who THEY WERE THAT BELIEVED NOT, and who should betray him . . . 66 From that time MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we BELIEVE AND ARE SURE that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God” John 6:1-71. [Read it all in full] 

For without believe or believing, it’s impossible to actualise the enabling faith upon the grace of God that brings about answers to human questions not only for the moment of needs but for the sustainability upon the scriptures. They’re many today who DO NOT BELIEVE in the genuity of Christ Jesus to have come in the flesh and even the fulness of our redemption by God in Christ Jesus. Hence, Scripture informs us to mark and note these sectarian people and earnestly contend to stay secured on the FAITH we stand upon, against their UNBELIEF. Their repercussions result from their WRONG [UNSCRIPTURAL] BELIEVE and BELIEVING foundation. [1 John 4:1-3; Jude 1:3-4; Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10]. 

For to BELIEVE is PASSIVE and to have FAITH is ACTIVE. Believe is like the default that ought to be there before the activation of faith for results to manifest or reveal tangibly. For FAITH is acting upon what you BELIEVE of God accordingly, to the scriptural context in used. For BLESSED is the one that BELIEVE first, then go to act upon as an act of FAITH, upon that scriptural context of believe – therein God will certainly do His will in His WORD – meaning, God will then perform His promise to them that BELIEVES on His possibility promise. 

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27 [Matthew 19:26]. 

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23. 

“For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:37, 45. 

So, that question or matters of life that you are bothered about and want an answer from God in Christ Jesus, do you actually BELIEVE that God can sort it out for you without you having other plan B’s and second consideration thoughts and alternatives – knowing that God searches the reins, hearts and thoughts of man [Jeremiah 17:10; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27], can you take a believing stand to the end, especially if it’s a matter that requires faith and patience to make it a reality? Can you be patient to wait, and will you wait through patience untill God’s promise comes to your reality for you? 

“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 [SLUGGISH, SLUGGARD], but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12. 

POSSIBILITY and IMPOSSIBILITY is possible with God if you can BELIEVE. God knows how to make all things [good and bad, possible and impossible] to become possible – come to fruition in fulfilling His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for you both in the now and tomorrow.  

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who love God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP. 

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS FOR PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11/AMP. 

Just know that to BELIEVE is personal, and it’s first to – ACKNOWLEDGE, OWN, be CONVINCED and such like, thereby ensuring the enabling and needed scriptural context of FAITH to become activated for the reality and realisation of one’s desires in essence. And it’s in this context of acknowledging, owning and being personally convinced, that God can act, and to make all things both possible and impossible, to be all possible accordingly. [Hebrews 11:6; Mark 9:23-24]. 

And you must also realise that BELIEVING ON Him and BELIEVING IN Him aren’t the same, but are important in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

It’s my earnest PRAYER, that in this Month of BLESSEDNESS, you can believe God in Christ Jesus to be BLESSED accordingly. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24. 

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God“ John 3:16-18. 

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23. 

“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 . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24. 

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10. 

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 4:1-25 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of BELIEVING in God’s promises and Word, highlighting that BLESSEDNESS is accessible through genuine BELIEVE. April is a month associated with BLESSEDNESS, “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”. 

Key Points 

  • BELIEVING ON Him and BELIEVING IN Him are distinct but crucial aspects of redemption 
  • God wants assurance of one’s BELIEVE to ensure they’re not seeking solutions out of desperation 
  • Many walk away from Christ when BELIEVING is challenged by scriptural context 
  • WRONG (UNSCRIPTURAL) BELIEVE leads to being held down by religiosity  
  • BELIEVE is PASSIVE, FAITH is ACTIVE – BELIEVE enables FAITH to act 
  • Scriptural examples highlight Abraham’s faith and Jesus’ emphasis on BELIEVING 

Scriptural Context 

  • Galatians 3:6-9 (Abraham’s faith and blessing) 
  • Mark 9:23-24 (Jesus asks for believe) 
  • John 6:1-71 (many walked away from Jesus) 
  • Romans 4:1-25 (Abraham’s faith and righteousness)  
  • Other referenced scriptures emphasised on faith, believe, and God’s promises 

Main Takeaway 

BLESSEDNESS is available through genuine BELIEVE in God’s promises and Word. One’s BELIEVE enables FAITH to act, leading to tangible manifestations of God’s reality.

BELIEVE BEFORE YOU ACT 

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE BEFORE YOU ACT: FAITH IS ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD IN THE CONTEXT Of Need! 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32. 

You need to BUILD up your life on God’s WORD to enhance the quality of life God intends, rather than relying on qualities built outside God’s WORD. It’s very important that you do not build your life on qualities that make you – ACT on PRESUMPTION – leading to misconceptions; ACT in MAKE-BELIEVE; ACT on SENTIMENTS – leading to prejudice and dissimulation; or ACT on SUSPICION – leading to misinformation. These lead to a state of mere RELIGION – resulting in sectarianism and religious blindfold. Know that God’s intent daily is about you having LIFE in fulness, in His GRACE and not RELIGION and religious dogmas and blindfold. For the cause of experiencing the good and goodness of God is the reason your faith should be built on the essence of the ‘Word of Faith’ in God – where LIFE in the GRACE, is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17. 

You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVALS for you or on Men APPLAUDS for you, or on self-made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or you can have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being and live with the side effects it brings. 

“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/Emphasis mine. 

“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. 

FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I want you to be reminded and to know full well that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve craved, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys. 

Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17. 

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23. 

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27. 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11). 

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23. 

SUMMARY: 

This message emphasises the importance of building life on God’s Word, acting on faith, and believing in God’s promises. 

The message highlights that: 

  • Faith is acting according to what you believe about God’s Word in the context of your needs. 
  • You should build life on God’s Word, not on presumption, make-believe, sentiments, or suspicion, which lead to religion and sectarianism. 
  • God’s intent is for you to have life in fullness, in His grace, not religion. 
  • Faith comes by hearing God’s Word, and it’s active, whereas “believe” is passive. 
  • Acting without believing God’s Word leads to emptiness.

TRIUMPHANT LIVING – YEAR 2026 – THE HOW TO LIVE AND THRIVE

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHANT LIVING – YEAR 2026 – THE HOW TO LIVE AND THRIVE: CALLING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE! 

“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” 2 Corinthians 4:13. 

The signatures of those who were REDEEMED of the Lord God Almighty from every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION of all kinds was that they spoke and sang a NEW song to differentiate them from the UNREDEEMED song they sang prior to their REDEMPTION. Instead of songs of defeat and failure, they sang from their seated position of VICTORY and TRIUMPH, as OVERCOMERS and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. [Ephesians 2:6]. They call to be WHO and WHOM and WHAT they have BECOME of God in Christ Jesus stead. What a New way to live in the FULNESS of our justified status in God, in Christ Jesus. 

“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. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ, in His humanity, opened His MOUTH to proceed forth with GRACIOUS WORDS that marvelled the people of His time, causing them to question if this was not the son of Joseph, an alternative to the norm. [This was after His return, empowered by fasting and prayers, and His appearance in the synagogue to announce His EARTHLY commission, plan, purpose, and pursuit of Father God for humanity] 

“. . . 22 And all bare Him [Jesus] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:1-22. 

And Moses and Miriam made no mistakes in leading the children of Israel and the women to sing a GLORIOUSLY and TRIUMPHANTLY song to declare VICTORY over Pharaoh [the ENEMY] and his chariots, [COHORTS] in symbolism that would have them dead at the red sea of life’s challenges.  

“Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will EXALT Him . . . 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”” Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21. 

And in our REDEMPTION, we’ve been MADE TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus. And being TRIUMPHANT is the expression of the VICTORY we have of God over the ENEMY and COHORTS. For we’ve been made a more than CONQUEROR [Romans 8:37], an OVERCOMER [Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:4-5] and victorious [1 Corinthians 15:57]. To enact and authenticate all these and such like, an expression of the glorious TRIUMPH is the answer on what we’ve become of God in the now in Christ Jesus in our redemption.  

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [EXHIBITING THEM AS CAPTIVES in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:8-15/Amplified. 

“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. 

The YEAR 2026 is not only graciously pregnant and is here now to give birth to all sorts as you permit to happen [Matthew 16:19/Amplified; Matthew 18:18/Amplified]. And only God alone in essence, knows the END from the BEGINNING of all about YEAR 2026 for you and I as we stay on the onward and upward trajectory in REDEMPTION, in everyway of living and doing Life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. However, He had made all things available about you specifically by the Holy Spirit which He has given to us. Therefore get connected to the person of the Holy Spirit as it’s written: 

“But as it is WRITTEN, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have ENTERED into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 

“And hope MAKETH not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

And if you BELIEVE in your set goals as God has always BELIEVED in His, you need to steadily do what Bible FAITH people did to cause their set goals [plan, purpose and pursuit] that they dearly BELIEVED-IN, to come to pass – meaning to reality, fruition and tangibility. Thus indicating to LIVE and THRIVE it’s about “CALLING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE”. And as God did and spoke creation into being, you can by His indwelling gracious Spirit in you, CAUSE to come to be also your earnest desires, when you can POSSIBLY have a believe IN your spirit (heart) being by the WORD of God in your mouth until the earnest desire comes to fruition. That’s the HOW to do life and live godly by faith in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, in scriptural context and concept. [Mark 11:12-14, 20-24; Proverbs 18:20-21. Romans 10:8-13].87 

Father Abraham did BELIEVE God and called into being those things that ARE not, into reality. The same scenario was repeated with Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, and Mary, the Mother of Jesus and many others, until their UNKNOWN became a REALITY. You can make your 2026 desired goals, as part of your plan, purpose and pursuit, turn out to be good and real, as you begin today, even now, to CALL into being things that are not as though that ARE, as you BELIEVED even as it is it is it is  written in the Holy Writ of Romans 4:16-17. 

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the PROMISE might be SURE to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have MADE thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the DEAD, and CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE” 

And if we BE and ARE as Abraham seed by Faith in all about our REDEMPTION, we need to EXERCISE the enabling grace and wisdom of God as He did to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE our FAITH in Him, into reality and tangibility. 

“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, 13-14, 26-29. 

I wish you the fruitfulness of Year 2026. And God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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” 2 Corinthians 4:13. 

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the PROMISE might be SURE to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have MADE thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the DEAD, and CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being NOT WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: 20 He STAGGERED not at the promise of God through UNBELIEF; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And BEING FULLY PERSUADED that, what he had promised, he was ABLE also to PERFORM” Romans 4:16-21. 

“And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe LEAPED in her womb; and Elisabeth was FILLED with the Holy Ghost: 42 and she spake out with a loud voice, and said, BLESSED art thou among women, and BLESSED is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:41-45. 

“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 . . .13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:8-13. 

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 Death and life are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that love it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21. 

“Thou art SNARED with THE WORDS of thy MOUTH, thou art taken with THE WORDS of thy MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2. 

“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 [CONFESSION, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION]. 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. 

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“Now THANKS be to God who ALWAYS LEADS [CAUSES] us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us DIFFUSES [SPREADS, REVEALS] THE FRAGRANCE of His KNOWLEDGE in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14/NKJV. 

“Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will EXALT Him . . . 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”” Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21. 

“Beware lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are COMPLETE in him, which is the head of all PRINCIPALITY and POWER: 11 in whom also ye are CIRCUMCISED with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the CIRCUMCISION of Christ: 12 BURIED with him in baptism, wherein also ye ARE risen with him through the faith of the OPERATION of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being DEAD in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he QUICKENED together with him, having FORGIVEN you all trespasses; 14 BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES that was AGAINST us, which was CONTRARY to us, and took it out of the way, NAILING it to his cross; 15 and HAVING SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HE MADE A SHEW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT” Colossians 2:8-15. 

“You CROWN THE YEAR with Your GOODNESS, and Your paths drip with ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they SHOUT for JOY, they also SING” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV. 

“This is the DAY the Lord has MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/NKJV. 

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED [TRANSLATED] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV. 

“But THANKS be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57. 

“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. 

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP Him. And he said unto me, See thou DO IT NOT: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made MORE CERTAIN [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a LAMP SHINING in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWNS and light breaks through the GLOOM and the MORNING STAR ARISES in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from ONE’S OWN [PERSONAL OR SPECIAL] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever MADE by an act of human will, but men MOVED by the Holy Spirit SPOKE from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified. 

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in] the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified  

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified

TO ENACT A NEVER-THE-LESS ENABLING

TO ENACT A NEVER-THE-LESS ENABLING: LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP FOR A CATCH! 

It’s a beautiful NEW DAY that the CREATOR God has MADE and not the enemy and cohorts – that’s the reason to REJOICE and be GLAD in it – now and always – in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

“This is the DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24. 

No matter how much you’ve toiled in the last ELEVENTH MONTH, don’t give up, don’t lose heart and don’t give room to weariness and failure and self-pity decorum. You may be at the verge of your ELEVENTH HOUR to break forth into your miracles and breakthrough over all the – mountains, valleys, crooked roads and rough places – that have stood AGAINST you in entering your DESIRED PLACES; more so, be set to breakthrough into that SET gracious position that tend to have defiled you and define you by standing as an OBSTACLE to your path of fulfilment and excellence. 

All you need to do is take an extra step and walk on in the WORK of FAITH against all odds and LAUNCH into the DEEP, that is, away from the SHALLOW of  intimidation, failure, fear and mediocrity – because your hour of great catch is come, and it’s now, in God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

And I proclaim in the name of Jesus, that as Peter and others believe the WORD, took a STEP OF FAITH ON THE WORD by declaring a NEVER-THE-LESS, in spite of their yesterday failures, and they LAUNCH into the DEEP by the WORD for a great CATCH, in same like spirit, may you LAUNCH in faith by the WORD, get your own CATCH in Jesus precious name. Amen. And may your CATCH be in grace on WHATSOEVER it is that’s named, that you desired of God, that your joy might be full in life and in the Lord, in Jesus precious name, Amen. And may your abundance of catch enlarge you beyond bounds, in Jesus’ name, Amen. 

And may as you read this scripture of Luke 5:1-11 in full, may you receive the enabling grace to your BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS at thy WORD I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great MULTITUDE of FISHES: and their net brake. 7 And they BECKONED unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was ASTONISHED, and all that were with him, at the DRAUGHT of the fishes which they had taken . . .” (Luke 5:1-11)
