DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION! 

“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING teaches you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His ANOINTING has TAUGHT you, you must REMAIN in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:27/AMP. 

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for anyone, especially for the born-again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly, and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

It then means CHARISMA is of NO PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHINESS and TRUTH and such like, in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine. 

In life, most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in the course of time without CHARACTER. Hence these WISDOM NUGGETS are needful for guidance, as I hereby state: 

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the goods of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity” 

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on A daily basis.                                    

The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues are indicated in these scriptural contexts: 

CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27. 

CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit, as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16. 

The Holy Spirit is the PERSONALITY that ENABLES God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.  

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus a COMPLETE GOSPEL. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified). 

“These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and BRING all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” John 14:25-26. 

“But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man TEACH you: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is NO LIE, and even as it hath TAUGHT you, ye shall ABIDE in him” 1 John 2:27.

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER ENSURES AND ASSURES YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT IN GRACE! 

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance: AGAINST such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.  

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious, ineffable quality; you either have it, or you don’t.  

The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: 

  1. COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others;  
  2. A DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. 

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17.  

It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATION in every respect of manifestation and operation. 

CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER – is defined and applied as the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged, apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morally. 

And for the BELIEVER in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT or CHARISMA for doing life and living godly – which is a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS (endowment) combined with TALENTS – is sustained in grace and in life by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5. This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that formulates one’s character to uphold the integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic endowment includes, but is not limited to: Galatians 5:22-23 and 2 Peter 1:5-11 and Philippians 4:8 and Romans 12:9-21 etc. 

  • Love (Charitable) 
  • Joy 
  • Peace 
  • Longsuffering (Endurance) 
  • Gentleness 
  • Goodness (Virtue) 
  • Faith (Faithfulness) 
  • Meekness 
  • Temperance (Self Control) 
  • Patience 
  • Brotherly Kindness 
  • Godliness 
  • Honesty 
  • Purity 
  • . . . And such like – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more highlights in various places in the scriptures . . .  

If these things – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one will be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to anyone, just as Jesus did in humanity – 1 Peter 2:21-25. 

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operation. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But only your CHARACTER makes and keeps you in your THERE after all. 

Your CHARACTER – is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance: AGAINST such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23. 

“And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. . .” 2 Peter 1:5-11. 

“FINALLY, BRETHREN, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS’ Philippians 4:8. 

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17 

Further Scriptural Reading: Romans 12:1-20.  

SUMMARY: 

This message is a teaching charge on the relationship between CHARISMA, CHARACTER, and SPIRITUAL FRUIT. It establishes that while charisma opens doors, only character sustains you in grace. 

  1. DEFINITION AND POWER OF CHARISMA
  • CHARISMA is the ability to attract, charm, and influence people around you for a given cause — Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. 
  • It has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS that inspires devotion, and A DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to become what you are called to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. 
  • CHARISMA is good and great. It takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operation. It helps to evolve your uniqueness from others. 
  • “And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance forever” Isaiah 32:17 
  1. THE SUSTAINER: CHARACTER AS SPIRITUAL FRUIT
  • It must be noted: the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. 
  • Without character, charisma becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATION in every respect. 
  • CHARACTER — THE RESILIENT TEMPER — is the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged, apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. The strength of character distinguishes you mentally and morally. 
  • For the BELIEVER in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT — a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS combined with TALENTS — is sustained in grace and in life by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5 
  1. THE FRUIT THAT FORMS CHARACTER

This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that upholds the integrity and etiquette of your charisma includes, but is not limited to: 

  • Galatians 5:22-23: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance 
  • 2 Peter 1:5-11: Faith, Virtue, Knowledge, Temperance, Patience, Godliness, Brotherly Kindness, Charity 
  • Philippians 4:8: Things that are True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, of Good Report, Virtue, Praise 
  • Romans 12:9-21 and others: Patience, Brotherly Kindness, Godliness, Honesty, Purity, faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God 

“For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:5-8 

  1. THE PRINCIPLE: FRUIT ABOUNDING = SUSTAINED CHARISMA
  • If these things — SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) — abound more and more, one will be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA and placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to anyone, just as Jesus did in humanity 1 Peter 2:21-25. 
  • You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. 
  • Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. 
  • CHARISMA may take you UP, but only CHARACTER keeps you THERE. 
  • Your CHARACTER — is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING
  • The Fruit of the Spirit produces a life that is above reproach Galatians 5:22-23 
  • Diligence in adding virtue ensures you are not barren or unfruitful 2 Peter 1:5-11 
  • Think on these things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely Philippians 4:8 
  • Righteousness produces peace, quietness and assurance Isaiah 32:17 
  1. CALL TO ACTION
  • COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY by intentionally cultivating the FRUIT of the Spirit daily. 
  • Examine your charisma through the lens of character. Is it Spirit-led or self-made? 
  • Abound in spiritual fruit. Give all diligence to add virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity. 
  • Guard your endowment. Don’t let gifts operate without the fruit to back them. Character must lead to charisma.
    Further Study: Romans 12:1-20 — Present your body a living sacrifice and be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

FINAL WORD:
God gave you charisma to influence, but He gave you the Holy Spirit to produce fruit that will sustain that influence. Let your life be beautiful, not just attractive.

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION! 

“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you.

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for any especially for the born-again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. 

It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine. 

In life, most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable because of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as I hereby state: 

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity” 

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis. 

The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural contexts: 

  • CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27. 
  • CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16. 

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.  

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

OCTOBER  – BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

OCTOBER – BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE WHAT AND HOW AND WHEN AND WHERE TO BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“But ye, beloved, BUILDING UP yourselves on your MOST HOLY FAITH, PRAYING in the Holy Ghost” Jude 1:20. 

In the course of the Month October, I will be laying out by God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed, some ground PRINCIPLES to know and understand, on – the WHAT, the HOW, the WHEN and the WHERE and more – to “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“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. 

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH is very eminent and essential now than ever before. Simply because – You can’t afford to fail and be a failure when you ought to be carrying the DNA of redemption to succeed and be fulfilled; you can’t afford to survive or be a survival instead of thriving or thrive meaningfully and purposefully in the enabling grace and power to make real and tangible; you can’t afford to live in defeat, fear and sentiments instead living in the phase of dominion, victory, triumph, overcomer and more than conquerors; you can’t afford to expose yourself to falsehood, adulteration, tradition of men make-believe, dogmas, religious creeds and sorceries instead of knowledge and understanding to live in truth that sets one free and in freedom; and many other such like that “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead gives you leverage for an onward and upward trajectory. 

Now you know full well that you can’t afford to be a “BLESS ME” “BLESS ME” Believer in Christ Jesus stead, and there’s the need to be built up in the grace to ensure the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus. For there are some fundamentals and foundational principles herein but not limited, that you need to start PONDERING over as I unveil them individually in course of time within the month to build you up in Christ Jesus stead. 

You need to note, that these principles herein are not in order of importance to avoid anyone thinking that they are steps to follow accordingly, and it’s letting you know in order to avoid the confusion of thinking it’s a step by step to follow. It’s not at all but a guide for your perusal.

  •  The principle of – “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead – Through READING & LISTENING to sanctified SCRIPTURAL-based FAITH synergy WRITTEN BOOKS and PREACHED/TAUGHT MESSAGES in Christ Jesus stead, beside the Holy Writ for authentication. Be warn that not all BOOKS AND PREACHED/TAUGHT MESSAGES are there to BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, hence there is the need for you to READ and LISTEN to them side by side with the Holy Bible, to ensure that there’s no embedded falsehood and adulteration of any sorts within the CONTEXT as the Berean Believer’s. [Acts 17:10-13. 1 Timothy 4:12-14; 2 Timothy 4:13; Acts 19:18-20; John 21:25; Philippians 1:15-18; Job 19:23-24, Proverbs 4:20-23; Joshua 1:8; Hebrews 4:12-13].

Amen. [Hebrews 12:22-24; Malachi 3:10 (8-12); John 4:19-24; Hebrews 10:25; Hebrews 3:12-15]. 

I hope the above and not limited principles of – “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead – will help you to advance in the grace in order to ensure the assured redemption rights and privileges.  

Be blessed in grace. Blessed regards.

OCTOBER: MONTH OF – “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

October is now here and it’s our time, moment and Month, to use our PRECIOUS FAITH AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR THE WORLD’S we EARNESTLY desired and wants to see daily, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING as it’s written in the Holy writ of – 2 Peter 1:1-4, Jude 1:20. It’s your month for a creative, innovative and exploring timeline and timeless opportunity, to ensure and be the initiator and custodian of your well-being; and that your well-being is an OUTCOME of your PRECIOUS FAITH and MOST HOLY FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead and not an OUTCOME outside the TENET of your PRECIOUS FAITH and MOST HOLY FAITH – otherwise, it will be religion, dogmas, fake, counterfeit, adulteration and further bondages – (Galatians 5:1, 13; Galatians 3:1-14) 

The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which is REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ – and that gives us the enabling rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. For its not only that we ARE REDEEMED from these effects, we were and are USHERED and given access to RECEIVE of God in Christ Jesus stead the followings in our REDEMPTION – POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, and BLESSING (Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-8). 

Henceforth, it’s your time to ensure in order to assure you of redemption benefit by BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD AND BY HOLDING FORTH THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH IN PURE CONSCIENCE – TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN. 

The REDEMPTION ACCESS of God for us in Christ Jesus stead has TRANSFORMED (TRANSLATED, TRANSFIGURED, TRANSFERRED, CONVEYED) us and POSITIONED us into His enabling grace, from a SINNER to a SAINT; and therein, we can now OFFER unto God a gracious and graceful WORSHIP that’s WORTHILY and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of His CHURCH to enhance and ensure our RELATIONSHIP of being born of Him in Christ Jesus stead. This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us QUALIFIED firstly as His in these SCRIPTURAL wise: 

“Ye also, as LIVELY STONES, 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. 

“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 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. 

Jesus in humanity INCREASE in His worlds sphere in – Wisdom, Physique, Favour with God and Favour with Men (Luke 2:52). He made known that He was/is in a beautiful and colour relationship that is unique with Father God of which we also have access to same Father God in creation and in Him today. FOR AS HE, IS SO ARE WE today in this world as in the Holy Writ. (1 John 4:17-18; John 10:30-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 1:26-27); (Ephesians 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30). 

God has given us BEAUTY for ASHES, OIL OF JOY for MOURNING and GARMENT OF PRAISE for THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS. He has also MADE us TRESS of RIGHTEOUSNESS – a planting of His own making, that He might be GLORIFIED (Isaiah 61:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 10:15). 

Why should you LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ Jesus – wherein you’ve been MADE, God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21). 

With our REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, you have access to all that’s good and goodness, BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in God (Acts 20:20-21; Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:22). 

God has bestowed in you THE MEASURE of FAITH not A MEASURE of FAITH, THE MEASURE of GRACE and not A MEASURE of GRACE, to enable you have your worlds (health, relationship, family, finance, career, business and such likes) beautify and coloured. This FAITH enables you to OVERCOME all the forces that are in and of the world been orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:3-5).  

Therefore, make month OCTOBER to be your New Dawn to – BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH – in Christ Jesus stead, in order to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR your WORLDS in the FAITH of our God in Christ Jesus.

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!
 
“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING teaches you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His ANOINTING has TAUGHT you, you must REMAIN in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:27/AMP.
 
Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for any especially for the born again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead.
 
It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption.
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
 
In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as
 
I hereby state:
 
“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity”
 
However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.
 
The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural context:
 
CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.
 
CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.
 
The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.
 
Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT: HE ILLUMINATES, REVITALISES, REFRESHES AND REJUVENATES YOUR WHOLESOME BEING!

“For with STAMMERING LIPS and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may CAUSE THE WEARY TO REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

Dearly Beloved in Christ Jesus stead, it’s now a high time to refresh, build up, revive, illuminate, revitalise, rejuvenate and renew your days and wellbeing by PRAYING in the Spirit. This will keep you keeping on, in ALL that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS.

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT” Jude 1:20 (Amplified).

What it takes to build up, illuminate, revitalise, refresh and rejuvenate in order to beautify and colour your triune being – [spirit, soul and body] – is within you. Keep your being ALIVE and BUILT-UP by PRAYING ALWAYS IN THE SPIRIT.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“For with STAMMERING LIPS and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may CAUSE THE WEARY TO REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“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).

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . .14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not RECEIVED the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together . . . 26 Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that SEARCHETH the hearts KNOWETH what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh INTERCESSION for the saints according to the WILL of God” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17, 26-27.

The Month OCTOBER is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars; and  it’s the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days.

October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. It comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of new beginning signifying WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY. October is normally time of the year when farmers harvest their crops. In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of autumn and is commonly associated with the season of spring in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and autumn in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. Month October indicates BLESSEDNESS.
