AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD! 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity, position you in life and grace far beyond human compression and limitations, and give you such wisdom to innovate, create and initiate good for human consumption. It will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity, and much more besides, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

And it is gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the central person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God and THE WISDOM of God to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make-up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus’ stead, as it is written. Amen. 

“For the PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by WISDOM knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24. 

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, which is to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, you can infer to Month AUGUST as a Month to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . . as you ensure that you are enabled by God’s power.

LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE!

By Leave a Comment

LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE! 

LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”! For by GRACE, we are SAVED and by GRACE we STAND; and as we LIVE BY and LIVE THROUGH THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE, we are ensured and assured of the rights and privileges of our REDEMPTION in Principle. And this belongs to all ends of the spectrum that make up THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus – The JEWS [The CIRCUMCISION] and The GENTILES [The UNCIRCUMCISION]. 

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30. 

The dawn Month of AUGUST is the eighth month of the year and thus represents a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth [8] month in both the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven [7] months that is 31 days long. 

The name AUGUST means to inspire – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS AND LORDLINESS. And in conjunction with this, AUGUST therefore is to ensure that “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” is DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like . . .  

In GENESIS 1-2:3, the scripture records the wonderful acts of God in the creation of planet earth and all that is on the earth, as summed up in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all He intended to create, including man whom He also empowered to have dominion over all of creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED, taking delight in His creation – as declared in REVELATION 4:11 and ECCLESIASTES 3:11. 

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11. 

“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/AMP 

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH? I tell you now what I think and have come to know and understand by the Spirit of God. This is what I believe and conclude: That on the EIGHTH, man’s NEW DAY DAWNNED – born and made to begin. Meaning, the EIGHTH day was the BEGINNING of man [non-gender] to LIVE for purpose and meaning [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-2; Ecclesiastes 3:11/AMP]. And it was for man to start taking on, in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY from the REST of God on the seventh [7] day, in order to find his OWN REST when he has done God’s purpose for him [Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; Revelation 14:13]. And it was for man to EXERCISE his eminent, given and endowed authority: to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and have dominion in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive in colour and grandeur – Genesis 1:26-28. 

The EIGHTH day was a day of great influence, affluence and significance – of honour and dignity – for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated Creator God to advance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth, to fulfil God’s given purpose and assignment. It was a DAWN DAY of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth – according to, but not limited to, these Scriptures: Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20. 

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY TO – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”:  

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, or university – that place you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED to AUGUST it? Or when you started that desired and precious job – how you began it on such a good note with a majestic show that you were present and capable to AUGUST it? Or that first or special date with that special person – how beautifully you carried yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how you ensured and AUGUSTED it, so that it becomes the most talked-about day for an honourable marriage, and was at the top of everyone’s lips before all invited friends and family? 

It is time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK – of any other situations you dignified, accorded respect to and honoured, though not mentioned here. That is what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly. And this is how and why’ you need to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

It is this act of AUGUSTING one’s life that led the Apostle Paul to say he dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED and DIGNIFIED his MINISTERIAL OFFICE, so that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office for granted. In other words, he AUGUSTED the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS, with such grace as to ensure it was DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more – just as it is written: 

“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE: 14 if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them”  

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY- for a start and for a new day in man’s new beginning. When God rested to enjoy His finished work, mankind began its ambassadorial role with great chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display – being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable. 

You need to believe again in the you that is of God and in God – to live and reign with dignity. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again by “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”. 

I pray that as you journey through this month of August, being the eighth of the calendar year, it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty, in dignity, eminence, reverence, admiration, venerability and lordliness. A life where all things are under your control as you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace, as it is written: “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”. Jeremiah 12:12 

Unlike Adam who misplaced his priority with Eve, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall shine brighter and brighter until the full glow of you is seen by all and they may behold the great eminence of God in you; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen! 

May this month of number eight, being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones and your disappointment to appointment. May your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness. 

I pray that the good Lord will order your steps, uphold you, and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve. Who, after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, did not go as he was – in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform. Rather, he SHAVED HIS BEARD and exchanged his prison clothes for a dignified robe; assuring himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh – a place of HONOUR, EMINENCE, DIGNITY and REVERENCE – he would not return to prison again. And that eventually became his story. Even though he knew he was in prison, he did not imprison himself as a prisoner. Meaning, the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai, lived in him [Genesis 41:12-16; 1 John 4:4-6].  

I PRAY that you have a gracious and graceful month of August in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead, as you begin “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP. 

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30. 

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2. 

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5. 

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:25-27. 

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP. 

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33. 

SUMMARY: 

This message is a prophetic exhortation calling believers to live by faith in God’s grace, and to “August” — dignify, honour, and elevate — their lives and purpose in this eighth month. It ties together theology, identity, history, and practical application. 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: GRACE AND THE LAW OF FAITH

The core doctrine is Romans 3:27-30 and Romans 5:1-2. 

  • By GRACE we are SAVED and by GRACE we STAND. 
  • We are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 
  • This applies to all: THE JEWS [THE CIRCUMCISION] and THE GENTILES [THE UNCIRCUMCISION] — there is one God for both. 
  • Boasting is excluded. Peace with God, access into grace, and all rights of REDEMPTION come through faith, not works. 
  • Other anchor texts: Romans 8:1-2 — no condemnation for those in Christ; 1 Timothy 1:8-11 — the law is good when used lawfully. 
  1. THE MEANING OF AUGUST AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EIGHTH MONTH
  • August is the 8th month, with 31 days, in both Julian and Gregorian calendars. 
  • AUGUST means: to inspire REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS, LORDLINESS. 
  • To AUGUST something is to treat it with dignity, to make it revered, admired, majestic and grand. 
  • Theological meaning of 8: The 7th day was when God RESTED after creation Genesis 1-2:3, Revelation 4:11, Ecclesiastes 3:11. 
    The EIGHTH day therefore represents man’s NEW BEGINNING — the dawn of purpose, responsibility, and dominion. It is when man began his ambassadorial role to be fruitful, multiply, subdue, and have dominion Genesis 1:26-28. It is a day of OPPORTUNITY, POSSIBILITY, INFLUENCE, AFFLUENCE, HONOUR and DIGNITY. 
  1. THE CALL: AUGUST YOUR LIFE AND OFFICE

Using relatable pictures, the message asks: 

  • How did you prepare for school, university, first job, first date, wedding? You dressed, prepared, and showed up to AUGUST those occasions. 
  • SELAH — PAUSE AND THINK: Apply that same honour to your life now. 
  • Example: The Apostle Paul MAGNIFIED his MINISTERIAL OFFICE Romans 11:13-14 so that no one would disdain it. He handled his calling with GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS. 
  • We are to AUGUST this month of AUGUST by LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE — doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  1. PRAYER AND PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS FOR AUGUST
    That this 8th month will be the beginning of months for you — a month of majesty, dignity, eminence, dominion. 
    That your path will shine brighter and brighter Proverbs 4:18 as you are justified by Christ Romans 5:1-2, so that men see God’s eminence in you and glorify the Father. 
    Turnaround prayers: Shame to fame, disdain to honour, failure to success, setbacks to stepping stones, disappointment to appointment. 
    That the Lord will order your steps like Joseph: who, though in prison, did not see himself as a prisoner. He shaved, changed his robe, and walked into Pharaoh’s palace with dignity because Jehovah-Adonai lived in him Genesis 41:12-16; 1 John 4:4. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER

The message ends with passages to meditate on: 

  • Romans 5:1-2 — Justified by faith, we have peace and access into grace. 
  • Romans 3:27-30 — Justification by faith for Jew and Gentile. 
  • Romans 8:1-2 — The law of the Spirit of life sets us free. 
  • 2 Timothy 2:4-5 — Strive lawfully as a soldier. 
  • 1 Corinthians 9:25-27 — Run to obtain an incorruptible crown; keep your body in subjection. 
  • 1 Corinthians 10:32-33 — Give no offence to Jews, Gentiles, or the Church of God. 

IN ONE SENTENCE 

At this dawn of the 8th month, you are called to stop living by circumstances and start LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE — believing who you are in Christ, walking with dignity, and AUGUSTING your life, calling, and season so that God’s glory is seen through you.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity; and position you in life and grace, far beyond human comprehension and limitations; and will give you such wisdom to innovate, create and initiate the good for human consumption; and will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity; and many such like in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it’s gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the centre person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God as He’s of THE WISDOM of God, to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written. Amen.

“For the PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by WISDOM knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, which is to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, you can infer to Month AUGUST as a Month to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . . as you ensure that you are enabled by God’s power.

I employ you therefore, to meditate on these but not limited SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS that’s WORTH PONDERING in context, on God’s enabling POWER that gives the rights to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Herein are but not limited the doings of God’s enabling POWER to AUGUST:

  • POWER TO “GET (CREATE) WEALTH” IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“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.

  • POWER TO “WITNESS AND BE A WITNESS” IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity; and position you in life and grace, far beyond human comprehension and limitations; and will give you such wisdom to innovate, create and initiate the good for human consumption; and will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity; and many such like in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it’s gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the centre person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God as He’s of THE WISDOM of God, to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written. Amen.

“For the PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by WISDOM knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, which is to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, you can infer to Month AUGUST as a Month to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . . as you ensure that you are enabled by God’s power.

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST

By Leave a Comment

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST: THE MONTH TO – “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” IN HIS BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

The dawn Month of AUGUST is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And been the eight month of the year, it represents a NEW BEGINNING. The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, means to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, to toward been DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . .

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2. From the Genesis and Psalmist Scriptures we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also EMPOWERED to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His PURPOSE for creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH? I tell you now what I perceive to know in life and grace.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s NEW DAY WAS DAWN, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY through DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done of God’s purpose for him  as the scriptures of Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; and for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, to thrive, colour and grandeur, to have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28 as by the power of attorney on God’s behalf over the works of God’s hands – Isaiah 45:11-12, Psalms 8:4-9; Psalms 115:16.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fulfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR YOUR PERUSAL:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about day for a honourable marriage and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situation that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFY or DIGNIFY my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED,  REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity and possibility to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

I pray that as you turn into this month of August, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of  majesty, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminence, dignity, reverence, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai – lived in him – Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE MONTH AUGUST: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

By Leave a Comment

THE MONTH AUGUST: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

The Month AUGUST ushers us into the realm of LIVING BY THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE – which is about synergising and energising our realm of doing life and living godly through THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus stead, thereby experiencing our God’s given BLESSEDNESS.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

The law of faith is about the PRINCIPLES – the guiding laws – upon which the subject Faith operates – with, through, in, upon and on – in order to ensure and assure it’s fundamental and foundational basis of our belief and believe in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. The knowing and understanding of this principle helps one to do life and live godly in the grace of God through any form of persecution in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping Satan and cohorts, and such like, respectively [Hebrews 11:32-40].

The essence of knowing and understanding of the act of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace is to ensure and assure the Believers of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, and on how one can by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace be energised in their spirit-being instead of their mental exertion which is not of faith toward Father God and our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.

The essence of living by THE LAW OF FAITH  in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, consists of  BELIEVING and RECEIVING what God has REVEALED – and hence, may be defined as the absolute trust in the God of the Scriptures and in Christ Jesus whom He sent, to fulfil the redemption of mankind through the loving obedience and good works [Acts 20:20-21; John 1:12; James 2:14-26; Hebrews 5:7-9].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, is operational through this four fundamental principles of applications in doing life and living godly under God in Christ Jesus stead:

  1. FOR SALVATION: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, ensures the personal faith (personal trust) to obtain Salvation is possible without our meritorious works to prove a point to Father God in Christ Jesus – who is our deliverer from the clutches of sin to our justification – wherein we’ve being made and declared – God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen. For our merits are filthy rags before God and our wealth can save a soul but our Faith operating under grace will give us our SALVATION access to Father God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 4:5, 23-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Isaiah 64:6; Psalms 49:6-9].
  2. FOR PRAYERS: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles helps to ensure that our PRAYERS [fellowship – communion – to enhance relationships] with Father God in Christ Jesus, is of assurance and confidence; it helps us to ensure that we are assured of our justified state of being and our access state of being, of our Father God in Christ Jesus, when we STAND in the grace of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of Him to offer PRAYERS without an iota of mistrust. [Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 1:12-14; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 4:19-24].
  3. The UNSEEN: Living by the THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, helps one to know and understand that the UNSEEN world makes and brings about the SEEN world; and that helps to make the act of doing life and living godly possible as it helps to bring about the unknown – the unseen – things into being – into reality – into tangibility. And one can then act on the conviction that God’s word is practicable, reachable and touchable beyond mere sights before believing God in Christ Jesus – [Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 5:7].
  4. DAILY LIVING: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, means living by the principles that ensure a practicable and liveable essence in our day to day living when we understand the working principle in life, and the uses and applications of faith – that the otherwise WORD OF FAITH is true and real to do life and live godly, irrespective of our daily circumstances. [Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38); Romans 10:8-10].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace helps to ensure and to be assured that the Believers of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEWS (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILES (which is of the uncircumcision) can have access to God’s redemption rights and privileges to become and make up – THE CHURCH of Christ Jesus that makes up the born of God – Jews and the born of God Gentiles [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believers in Christ Jesus is subjected to operate LAWFULLY within the grace of God, otherwise there’s disqualification on that particular context and subjects of life plan, purpose and pursuit [2 Timothy 2:5.; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27].

It beholds me therefore, to compel you to gear up to the realms of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, in order for you to be ensure and be assure of your blessedness in God in Christ Jesus. Amen..

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:25-27.

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some SPIRITUAL GIFT, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

AUGUST Themed – You Are a Chosen Generation of The 42nd GENERATION

By Leave a Comment

AUGUST Themed – You Are a Chosen Generation of the 42nd GENERATION: It’s Your Time To August Your Life – It’s Your New Dawn Day and Dawn Month!

AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new beginning. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. The name AUGUST means inspiring REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the theme, to august therefore means to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more such like . . 

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth, as summed in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to have pleasure in His creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s new day was dawn, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in PRINCIPLE from the REST of God; and to exercise his eminent authority to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and reign and live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the holy writ scriptures – Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance his PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to the scriptures – (Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20).

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much deserved and cherished – and how well you prepared and dressed up for it; Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable; Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value; Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured that it’s the most talked about honourable marriage that’s at the top of the note before all invited friends and families. Think of the situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. This is what it means to AUGUST an occasion and precisely, to AUGUST this month of AUGUST in LIFE and GODLINESS.

This is what makes Apostle Paul say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, I AUGUST my office of CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, fashion of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

“The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . .16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations” Matthew 1:1-17.

“. . . 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 2:5-10.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity; and position you in life and grace, far beyond human compression and limitations; and will give you such wisdom to innovate, create, and initiate the good for human consumption; and will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity; and many such like in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it’s gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the centre person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God as He’s of THE WISDOM of God, to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written. Amen.

“For the PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by WISDOM knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, which is to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, you can infer to Month AUGUST as a Month to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . . as you ensure that you are enabled by God’s power.

THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

By Leave a Comment

THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

The Month AUGUST ushers us into the realm of LIVING BY THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE – which is about synergising and energising our realm of doing life and living godly through THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus stead, thereby experiencing our God’s given BLESSEDNESS.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

The law of faith is about the PRINCIPLES – the guiding laws – upon which the subject Faith operates – with, through, in, upon and on – in order to ensure and assure it’s fundamental and foundation basis of our belief and believe in God in Christ Jesus stead. The knowing and understanding of this principle helps one to do life and live godly in the grace of God through any forms of persecutions, in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping the satan and cohorts, and such like, respectively [Hebrews 11:32-40].

The essence of knowing and understanding of the act of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace is to ensure and assure the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus stead, and on how one can by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace be energised in their spirit-being instead of their mental exertion which is not of faith toward Father God and our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.

The essence of living by THE LAW OF FAITH  in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, consists in the BELIEVING and RECEIVING what God has REVEALED – and hence, may be defined as the absolute trust in the God of the Scriptures and in Christ Jesus whom He sent, to fulfil the redemption of mankind through the loving obedience and good works [Acts 20:20-21; John 1:12; James 2:14-26; Hebrews 5:7-9].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, is operational through these four fundamental principles of applications in doing life and living godly under God in Christ Jesus stead:

  1. FOR SALVATION: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, ensures the personal faith (personal trust) to obtain Salvation is possible without our meritorious works to prove a point to Father God in Christ Jesus – who is our deliverer from the clutches of sin to our justification – wherein we’ve being made and declared – Gods righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen. For our merits are filthy rags before God and our wealth can save a soul but our Faith operating under grace will give us our SALVATION access to Father God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 4:5, 23-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Isaiah 64:6; Psalms 49:6-9].
  2. FOR PRAYERS: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles helps to ensures that our PRAYERS [fellowship – communion – to enhance relationships] with Father God in Christ Jesus, is of assurance and confidence; it helps us to ensure that we are assured of our justified state of being and our access state of being, of our Father God in Christ Jesus, when we STAND in the grace of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of Him to offer PRAYERS without an iota of mistrust. [Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 1:12-14; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 4:19-24].
  3. The UNSEEN: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, help ensures one to know and understand that the UNSEEN world makes and brings about the SEEN world; and that helps to make the act of doing life and living godly possible as it helps to bring about the unknown – the unseen – things into being – into reality – into tangibility. And one can then act on the conviction that God’s word is practicable, reachable and touchable beyond a mere sight before believing God in Christ Jesus – [Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 5:7].
  4. DAILY LIVING: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, means living by the principles that ensures a practicable and liveable essence in our day to day living when we understand the working principle in life, and the uses and applications of faith – that the otherwise WORD OF FAITH is true and real to do life and live godly, irrespective of our daily circumstances. [Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38); Romans 10:8-10].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace helps to ensures and to be assures that the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEW’S (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILE’S (which is of the uncircumcision) can have access to God’s redemption rights and privileges to become and make up – THE CHURCH of Christ Jesus that makes up the born of God – Jew’s and the born of God Gentile’s [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is subjected to operate LAWFULLY within the grace of God, otherwise there’s disqualification on that particular context and subjects of life plan, purpose and pursuit [2 Timothy 2:5.; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27].

It beholds me therefore, to compel you to gear up to the realms of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, in order for you to be ensure and be assure of your blessedness in God in Christ Jesus. Amen..

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway”

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some SPIRITUAL GIFT, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST 2022

By Leave a Comment

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST 2022: THE MONTH TO – “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” IN HIS BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

The dawn Month of AUGUST is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And being the eight month of the year, it represents a NEW BEGINNING. The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, means to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus’s stead, to toward being DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . .

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2. From the Genesis and Psalmist Scriptures we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also EMPOWERED to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His PURPOSE for creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now what I perceive to know in life and grace.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s NEW DAY WAS DAWN, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY through DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done of God’s purpose for him  as the scriptures of Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; and for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, to thrive, colour and grandeur, to have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28 as by the power of attorney on God’s behalf over the works of God’s hands – Isaiah 45:11-12, Psalms 8:4-9; Psalms 115:16.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fullfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR YOUR PERUSAL:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for a honourable marriage? and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity and possibility to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began its ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

I pray that as you turn into this month of August, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and

circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminent, dignity, revered, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai – lived in him – Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
