ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS 

By Leave a Comment

ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS: THIS IS ABOUT COMMUNICATING YOUR REDEMPTION FAITH TO LIFE MATTERS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!  

“That the COMMUNICATION (SHARING, FELLOWSHIP, DECLARING, PRONOUNCING) of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

“ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS” is about graciously COMMUNICATING YOUR REDEMPTION FAITH in Christ Jesus’ stead to the matters of life, just as Jesus Christ did with His GRACIOUS WORDS. Many began to wonder how the carpenter, Joseph’s son, had become so unique and was making a difference in His humanity. 

And this is possible by knowing and understanding what belongs to you in Christ Jesus’ stead in all that pertains to living life and godliness. 

“And all bare HIM (CHRIST JESUS) witness, and WONDERED at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:42. 

Do you know that most of life’s problems may not necessarily be about one having MORE FAITH OR NO FAITH, as one craves or wants to have and possess? 

Most of the time, for the Christ-believing child of God, it is not NECESSARILY about your FAITH problem. It is about you KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING what BELONGS to you in Christ Jesus, and you ACTING — COMMUNICATING — on it accordingly. 

It is in this place of APPROPRIATING and ENACTING what is YOURS in Christ Jesus that many have a problem. For FAITH is about acting accordingly, on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD, in the CONTEXT of that WORD of God. 

For example, your children will need a key to enter the house, but they do not need a key to enter the kitchen, the lounge, the dining room, or the study, or any section of the house to get what they need. As long as they know what belongs to them WHILE ALREADY in the HOUSE by virtue of BIRTH, they need not struggle; they will simply ACT on their BIRTH-RIGHT within the FAMILY CONTEXT to explore and enjoy ALL that is THERE in the house. 

In the same way, being BORN AGAIN by FAITH gives you access to Father God in Christ Jesus; but your BIRTH-RIGHT to enjoy the Father’s Promises is in you ACKNOWLEDGING and APPROPRIATING what BELONGS to you in Him. 
This is the HOW to COMMUNICATE your REDEMPTION FAITH in order to enjoy your PLACE in the LORD. 

It is the knowing and understanding of this act of FAITH COMMUNICATION that unveils ease in your PRAYER LIFE and PRAYER WALK with Father God. 

May I also INFORM you for your TRANSFORMATION, by letting you KNOW, and hoping that you do full well UNDERSTAND that you have been GIVEN the needed GRACE and FAITH in our REDEMPTION to enable you to APPROPRIATE and ENACT your GIVEN rights and privileges in Christ Jesus’ stead, in order to explore and enjoy your WHOLESOME LIVING. 

You have been GIVEN — “THE” MEASURE of FAITH and “THE” MEASURE of GRACE, and not “A” MEASURE to each. Can you see the use of the articles “THE” and “A” in context? THINK about it in the light of the scriptural writ of Romans 12:3 and Ephesians 4:7. 

COMMUNICATING YOUR FAITH TO YOUR NEEDS IN LIFE AND GRACE MAKES YOU A WINNER, TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, AN OVERCOMER, AND MORE THAN A CONQUEROR IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD. AMEN. 

Anything otherwise is counterfeit, forgery, falsehood, sorcery, and man-made make-believe, which is religion born from the tradition of men, that makes the WORD of God of no effect to ALL who practise that path of living. 

May you be BLESSED in LIFE and GRACE as you go about ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS by communicating your redemption faith to life’s matters; knowing and understanding what belongs to you in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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 1:2-4. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis Mine). 

“And all bare HIM (CHRIST JESUS) witness, and WONDERED at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:42. 

“Therefore let no man GLORY in men. For ALL THINGS are YOURS” 1 Corinthians 3:21. 

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN UNTO me, TO EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING AS GOD HATH DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3. 

“But unto EVERY ONE OF US is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7 (Emphasis Mine). 

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE BE FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that love it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a charge titled “ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS”. 
It explains that the Christian life is not primarily a struggle to “get more faith”, but a call to KNOW, ACKNOWLEDGE, and GRACIOUSLY COMMUNICATE what already belongs to us in Christ Jesus, so that our faith becomes EFFECTUAL in daily life. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. Definition of the Theme
    “ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS”means graciously COMMUNICATING YOUR REDEMPTION FAITH to the matters of life, just as Jesus did with His GRACIOUS WORDS. 
    Scripture Reference: Luke 4:42 — People wondered at the gracious words that proceeded out of His mouth. 
  2. The Real Problem is Not “Lack of Faith”
    For the Christ-believing child ofGod, most issues are not a FAITH problem. The issue is KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING what BELONGS to you in Christ, and then ACTING/COMMUNICATING on it. 
    Faith is acting on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD, in the CONTEXT of that WORD. 
  3. The “House” Illustration: Birth-right vs Struggle
    Your children do not need a key for every room in the house. By virtue ofBIRTH they already have access. 
    In the same way, being BORN AGAIN gives you access to the Father. But enjoying the Father’s Promises comes by ACKNOWLEDGING and APPROPRIATING your BIRTH-RIGHT in Him. 
  4. How Faith Becomes EFFECTUAL
    Faith becomes EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus.
    Scripture Reference: Philemon 1:6 
    This is FAITH COMMUNICATION — speaking, declaring, and fellowshipping what God’s Word says about you. 
  5. What Has Been GIVEN to You
    In redemption you have been GIVEN — “THE” MEASUREof FAITH and “THE” MEASURE of GRACE, not “A” MEASURE. 
    Scripture References: Romans 12:3, Ephesians 4:7 
    You already have what you need to APPROPRIATE and ENACT your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus’ stead for WHOLESOME LIVING. 
  6. The Power of Your Words
    Scripture Reference: Proverbs 18:20-21— Death and life are in the power of the tongue. 
    Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 3:21 — ALL THINGS are YOURS. 
    When you COMMUNICATE your faith to your needs, you become a WINNER, TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, AN OVERCOMER, and MORE THAN A CONQUEROR in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  7. Supporting Scriptural Foundation
    Scripture Reference: 2 Peter 1:2-4— His DIVINE POWER has GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS through KNOWLEDGE. 
    Scripture Reference: Romans 5:1-2 — Being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND.  

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. KNOW — Study the Word to discover what belongs to you in Christ Jesus. 
  2. ACKNOWLEDGE — Consciously agree with and confess EVERY GOOD THING that is in you in Christ. 
  3. COMMUNICATE — Graciously speak your redemption faith to your health, finances, family, and purpose, just as Jesus spoke to life’s matters. 
  4. ENACT — Stop struggling. Begin to ACT on your BIRTH-RIGHT and APPROPRIATE what grace has already provided.

PRAYING FOR YOU

PRAYING FOR YOU: FOR AN EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION TO LIFE AND GRACE MATTERS! 

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

WORDS matter in the kingdom and in grace. 

Indeed, WORD FORMULATION and COMMUNICATION define you, every day as you endeavour to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in grace. 

And there is SATISFACTION in the FRUIT of our SAYINGS — our COMMUNICATION — for it defines our TODAY and TOMORROW. 

Hence we must WATCH OVER our WORDS, so that they may do us EARTHLY GOOD and HEAVENLY GOODNESS. 

And to be EFFECTUAL in our WORD OF FAITH COMMUNICATION is to be SUCCESSFUL in ACCOMPLISHING — producing or being capable of producing — the desired and intended results in grace. 

It thus means that EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION is OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE to your THRIVING, FLOURISHING and FULFILMENT if you are to experience MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING living as a Believer in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

Let us recall a PURE EXAMPLE for our living as found in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. 

For while in His humanity, He was COMMUNICATING GRACIOUSNESS in the midst of all odds and contrary, to SILENCE the religion and sectarianism of His days; and to DEMONSTRATE HOW to communicate on EARTHLY AFFAIRS with HEAVENLY REALITIES, by the MYSTERY OF FAITH. 

For where others might be communicating SWEAR WORDS, FOUL WORDS, FAITHLESS WORDS, HOPELESS WORDS and LOVELESS WORDS, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS and CREEDS, and such like UNSCRIPTURAL WORDS, Jesus was TESTIFYING and COMMUNICATING HEAVENLY GRACIOUS WORDS to life situations in every phase of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in His humanity. 

And the Scripture BEARS Him witness in this ACT OF COMMUNICATION.  

“And ALL BARE Him (Jesus) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22. 

And to COMMUNICATE is to — SPEAK, SAY, TALK, DECLARE, ANNOUNCE — forth to life MATTERS — challenges and situations — by your FAITH in the WORD of God, in Christ Jesus’ stead, in order to get EFFECTUAL RESULTS. 

For FAITH is to ACT CORRESPONDINGLY on what you BELIEVE of the WORD of God accordingly in context. 

FAITH is ACTIVE while TO BELIEVE is PASSIVE. 

And TO BELIEVE is to be PREGNANT WITH THE WORD which, by EXERCISING FAITH, THE CONTENT IN CONTEXT MUST DELIVER UNHINDERED.  

“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. 

That MATTER, or THE MATTER OF LIFE, that appears as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACE — is classed as LONG-STANDING OBSTACLE to your path to EFFECTUAL and SUCCESSFUL WELL-BEING. 

And for your MEANINGFUL TRIUMPH and VICTORY, it requires FAITH COMMUNICATION to ensure you have an EFFECTUAL — productive and results-oriented — ATMOSPHERE in your PURPOSEFUL walk of faith in God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:23-24. 

And to COMMUNICATE to your life MATTERS — challenges and situations — is the only means to EFFECTUAL (PRODUCTIVE) RESULTS that are free of sorrow, stress and sweat, in matters of DOING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

All this is simply because VICTORY and TRIUMPH HAVE BEEN WROUGHT — meaning A DONE DEED — in Christ Jesus, and ours is to live daily in the affirmative to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE it by TESTIFYING to it through the ACKNOWLEDGING (ACKNOWLEDGEMENT) of the good done in us by God in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Those who OVERCAME in Bible days did not only believe in the blood of their redemption in Christ Jesus but TESTIFIED to the TESTIMONY of their redemption before the devil and his cohorts in grace. 

And the TESTIMONY of their redemption is nothing other than Jesus Christ. 

And that is the true SPIRIT OF PROPHECY — TESTIFYING [COMMUNICATING] of what God has done in you, is doing in you and will do through you by His Word and the indwelling Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus. 

And the Believers of God in Christ Jesus’ stead have the SURE and ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY to SPEAK [COMMUNICATE] forth by faith, in DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, as they communicate their VICTORY as being VICTORIOUS in grace, and not as VICTIMS — for this is the HOW to OVERCOME the camouflage of the world and its daily challenges. 

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:12. 

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Revelation 19:10. 

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God SPAKE [COMMUNICATED] as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Emphasis Mine. 

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that overcometh the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5. 

It is upon the above KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the scriptural context that I therefore PRAY FOR YOU today, just as the Apostle Paul prayed for Philemon in Philemon 1:4-6, that you might come into the knowledge and understanding of having EFFECTUAL RESULTS in all life dealings in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

That is how to articulate Abrahamic BELIEF and FAITH to turn things around — even that which was contrary to the natural law concerning Sarah’s womb — in order for her to give birth again after the time to do so had passed, by CALLING [SAYING, DECLARING, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING, TESTIFYING, COMMUNICATING] the THINGS that are NOT as though they WERE, in grace. 

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE and therefore SPEAK [COMMUNICATE]” 2 Corinthians 4:13/Emphasis mine. 

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by GRACE; to the end the PROMISE might be SURE to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have MADE thee a father of many nations,) before Him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH [COMMUNICATED] THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE . . . ” Romans 4:16-25/Emphasis mine. 

Therefore, both in THOUGHTS and in WORDS, COMMUNICATE to life circumstances by FAITH in grace to our God in Christ Jesus, for He who SEARCHES the hearts and minds of our being HEARS our communication to the heavenly, for our EARTHLY OUTPOUR. 

The WORDS OF FAITH must DWELL RICHLY in your heart and mind, for with the heart you BELIEVE [CONCEIVE] the words of VICTORY, TRIUMPH and such like, and with the MOUTH you make DECLARATION [COMMUNICATION], so that the reality is made manifest by faith in grace. 
[Psalm 19:14; Romans 10:8-13; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27]  

May you be blessed in the knowing and understanding of this perspective and context in the grace. Amen. 

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be exalted And every MOUNTAIN and hill brought low; The CROOKED PLACES shall be made straight And the ROUGH PLACES smooth; 5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken” Isaiah 40:3-5. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For WHATSOEVER is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24. 

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

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23). 

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:16-25. 

SUMMARY: 
This message centres on one truth: Believers overcome life’s challenges by SPEAKING the WORD OF GOD in FAITH. Your words, formed by belief and released through faith, create your reality in grace. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE PRINCIPLE: WORDS RULE YOUR LIFE:
    Proverbs 18:20-21: “DEATH and LIFE are in THE POWER OF THE TONGUE”. What fills your belly and your future is the FRUIT of your MOUTH.WORD FORMULATION and COMMUNICATION define you. They determine your TODAY and TOMORROW.To be EFFECTUAL means to produce the desired, intended results. Therefore, EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION is OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE for THRIVING, FLOURISHING and FULFILMENT as a Believer. 
  1. THE PATTERN: JESUS AND THE SAINTS

Jesus is the pure example. In the midst of religion, odds and contrary, He communicated GRACIOUS WORDS. “ALL BARE Him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH” — Luke 4:22. He demonstrated how to address EARTHLY AFFAIRS with HEAVENLY REALITIES by the MYSTERY OF FAITH. Those who OVERCAME in Bible days did not only believe the blood. They TESTIFIED to it. “And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the WORD of their TESTIMONY” — Revelation 12:11. 

The TESTIMONY of Jesus is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY — Revelation 19:10. To testify is to communicate what God has DONE, IS DOING, and WILL DO in you by His Word and the Holy Spirit. 

  1. THE MECHANISM: BELIEF CONCEIVES, FAITH DELIVERS
  • TO BELIEVE is PASSIVE — it is to be PREGNANT WITH THE WORD. 
  • FAITH is ACTIVE — it is to ACT CORRESPONDINGLY on what you believe. 
  • By EXERCISING FAITH, the CONTENT IN CONTEXT MUST DELIVER UNHINDERED. 
  • COMMUNICATE means to — SPEAK, SAY, TALK, DECLARE, ANNOUNCE — forth to life MATTERS by your FAITH in the WORD, in Christ Jesus’ stead, to get EFFECTUAL RESULTS. 
  1. THE FOUNDATION: A DONE DEED IN CHRIST

VICTORY and TRIUMPH HAVE BEEN WROUGHT in Christ Jesus. Our work is to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE it daily by ACKNOWLEDGING the good done in us — Philemon 1:6.This is Abrahamic BELIEF and FAITH: “CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE” — Romans 4:17. Even against natural law concerning Sarah’s womb, he spoke until it manifested. “We having the SAME spirit of FAITH… I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” — 2 Corinthians 4:13.  

  1. THE APPLICATION: SPEAKTOMOUNTAINS 

Every MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACE is a LONG-STANDING OBSTACLE. It requires FAITH COMMUNICATION to create an EFFECTUAL, results-oriented ATMOSPHERE. 

“WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN… and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART… he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH” — Mark 11:23-24.Even Jesus spoke to the fig tree and it dried up — Mark 11:12-24. This is DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY with heaven’s language. 

  1. THE ALIGNMENT: HEART, MOUTH, HEAVEN, EARTH

God SEARCHES the hearts and minds. He hears our communication to the heavenly for our EARTHLY OUTPOUR. “With the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION” — Romans 10:10. The WORDS OF FAITH must DWELL RICHLY in you. Believe with the heart, declare with the mouth, and reality is made manifest by faith in grace. 

  1. THEPRAYER AND CHARGE

Just as Paul prayed for Philemon, the charge is that you come into the knowledge and understanding of having EFFECTUAL RESULTS in all life dealings. Watch over your words. Refuse SWEAR WORDS, FAITHLESS WORDS, LOVELESS WORDS, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS. Choose HEAVENLY GRACIOUS WORDS instead. Live as VICTORIOUS, not as VICTIMS. This is HOW to OVERCOME the camouflage of the world and its daily challenges. 

SUMMARY IN ONE SENTENCE: 
Because the work is finished in Christ, you are called to COMMUNICATE BY FAITH. Believe the Word in your heart, speak the Word with your mouth, and you will see the Word produce EFFECTUAL, PRODUCTIVE RESULTS free of sorrow, stress and sweat.

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S THE FAITH THAT SUBSTANTIATES IN HOPE! 

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S THE FAITH THAT SUBSTANTIATES IN HOPE! 

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1. 

The FAITH that works and that’s EFFECTUAL – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the FAITH that SUBSTANTIATES in HOPE. Hence COMMUNICATE your FAITH in HOPE.  

“Let us HOLD FAST the CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE without WAVERING, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23/NKJV. 

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not UNJUST [UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOR of LOVE which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the SAME DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE OF HOPE until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV. 

And by the PATIENCE of HOPE, you can keep FAITH thriving in the midst of all odds, as you LABOUR in LOVE to SERVE in GRACE. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, AND LABOUR OF LOVE, AND PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 FOR OUR GOSPEL CAME NOT UNTO YOU IN WORD ONLY, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, AND IN MUCH ASSURANCE; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 and HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:1-5. 

“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 4-6. 

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 WHO AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, THAT HE MIGHT BECOME THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 AND BEING NOT WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform . . .” Romans 4:16-25. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that effective faith is the faith that substantiates in hope (Hebrews 11:1). It’s the faith that works and is effectual, effective, and efficient. 

Key Points 

  • Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). 
  • Communicate your faith in hope (Hebrews 10:23). 
  • The patience of hope keeps faith thriving in the midst of all odds (Hebrews 6:9-12). 
  • Labour in love to serve in grace (1 Thessalonians 1:2-5). 
  • Faith, hope, and love are interconnected (Romans 5:1-5). 

Scriptural Emphasis 

References Hebrews 11:1, 10:23, 6:9-12; 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5; Romans 5:1-5, 4:16-25; and Philemon 4-6, highlighting the importance of faith substantiating in hope. 

Main Takeaways 

  • Effective faith is rooted in hope. 
  • Communicate your faith in hope. 
  • Patience of hope and labour of love are essential for effective faith.

COMMUNICATING YOUR REDEMPTION TO LIFE MATTERS 

By Leave a Comment

COMMUNICATING YOUR REDEMPTION TO LIFE MATTERS: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT BELONGS TO YOU IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 6. 

Do you know your problem may not necessarily be about you having MORE FAITH OR NO FAITH OR LESS FAITH as you crave for or wants to, in order to THRIVE in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead? 

Most of the time, for the Christ Jesus Believing Child of God, it’s not NECESSARILY about your FAITH problem, it’s about you KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING what BELONGS to you in Christ Jesus, and your ACTING on it accordingly. It is in this state of APPROPRIATING and ENACTING what is YOURS in Christ Jesus that’s the problem of many. For FAITH is about acting accordingly, on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD, in the CONTEXT of that WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead. 

“Therefore let no man GLORY in men. For ALL THINGS are YOURS” 1 Corinthians 3:21. 

For example, my children will need the key to enter the house but don’t need key to enter the kitchen, the lounge or dinning or study or any section of the house to get what they need. For as long as they KNOW what belongs to them WHILE in the HOUSE by the virtue of BIRTH, they need no struggle in their rights and privileges; they will simply ACT on their BIRTH-RIGHTS and BIRTH-PRIVILEGES within the FAMILY CONTEXT to enjoy ALL that’s THEREIN in the house. 

In same scenarios, being BORN AGAIN [REBORN] of God by FAITH gives you ACCESS to Father God in Christ Jesus; but your BIRTH-RIGHTS and BIRTH-PRIVILEGES to enjoy the Father God promises, is in your ACKNOWLEDGING and APPROPRIATING what BELONGS to you in Him in Christ Jesus. This is the KNOW-HOW to COMMUNICATE your REDEMPTION FAITH to life matters, in order to enjoy your PLACE in the LORD. It’s the knowing and understanding of this act of FAITH COMMUNICATION that unveils an ease in your PRAYER LIFE and PRAYER WALK with the Father God. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

May I also INFORM you that for your TRANSFORMATION in the grace, you need to KNOW, and UNDERSTAND full well, that you’ve been GIVEN the needed GRACE and needed FAITH to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. And the GIVEN needed GRACE and needed FAITH, is in THE MEASURE and not A MEASURE, to your REDEMPTION, to enable you APPROPRIATE and ENACT your Father God GIVEN rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead for your WHOLESOME LIVING. May I repeat, that in Christ Jesus, the Father God has given you – “THE” MEASURE of FAITH and “THE” MEASURE of GRACE and not in “A” MEASURE. Can you see the use of the articles “THE” and “A” in context? THINK about it as it’s written: 

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN UNTO me, TO EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE of FAITH” Romans 12:3. 

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

COMMUNICATING YOUR FAITH TO YOUR NEEDS IN LIFE AND GRACE – MAKES YOU A WINNER, TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

May you be BLESSED in LIFE and GRACE. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

PRAYING FOR YOU

By Leave a Comment

PRAYING FOR YOU: FOR AN EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION TO LIFE AND GRACE MATTERS!

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

Words matter in the kingdom and in the grace. Much so, words formulation and communication in terms, defines you, in every day of endeavouring to do life and live godly in the grace. And there’s satisfaction in the fruits of our sayings [communication], more so, in defining our today and tomorrow. Hence, we must watch out at our words, for it to do us earthly good and heavenly goodness. And to be EFFECTUAL in our word of faith communication, is to be successful in accomplishing [producing or being capable of producing] the desired and intended results in the grace. It thus means that an EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION is utmost important to your thriving, flourishing and fulfilment if you must experience a MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING living as a Believer in Christ Jesus stead.

Let’s recall a pure example for our living as found in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. For while in His humanity, He was communicating graciousness in the midst of all odds and contrary, to silence the religion and sectarianism of His days; and to indicate the HOW to communicate on earthly affairs with the heavenly, by the mystery of FAITH. For where others might be communicating swear words, foul words, faithless words, hopeless words and loveless words, religious dogmas and creeds words, and such like unscriptural words, Jesus was testifying and communicating the heavenly gracious words to life situations in every phase of doing life and living godly in His humanity. And the scripture bares Him witness in this act of communication.

“And ALL BARE Him (Jesus) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

And to COMMUNICATE is to – speak, say, talk, declare, announce – forth to life MATTERS – challenges and situations, by your FAITH on the WORD of God, in Christ Jesus stead, in order to get an EFFECTUAL result. For FAITH is to act correspondingly on what you BELIEVE of the WORD of God accordingly in context. FAITH is active while to believe is passive. And to BELIEVE is to be pregnant with the WORD which by exercising FAITH, content in context have to deliver unhindered.

“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.

That matter and or the matter of life that appears as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACE – are classed as long-standing obstacles, to your path to an effectual and a successful well-being. And for your meaningful triumph and victory, it needs a FAITH COMMUNICATION to ensure you have an EFFECTUAL – productive and results oriented – atmosphere in your PURPOSEFUL walk of faith in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:23-24.

And to COMMUNICATE to your life MATTERS – challenges and situations, is the only means for an EFFECTUAL (PRODUCTIVE) result that’s free of sorrow, stress and sweat, in matters of doing life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. All this is simply because the VICTORY and TRIUMPH has been DONE – meaning A DONE DEED – in Christ Jesus, and ours is to live daily in the affirmative to ENACT and AUTHENTIC it by TESTIFYING to it through the ACKNOWLEDGING (ACKNOWLEDGEMENT) of the good done in us by God in Christ Jesus. Amen. Those who OVERCOME in the Bible days, did not only believe in the blood of their redemption in Christ Jesus, but testified to the TESTIMONY of their redemption to the devil and cohorts in the grace. And the TESTIMONY of their redemption is nothing else but about Jesus Christ. And that’s truly the spirit of prophecy – testifying [communicating] of what God has done in you, doing in you and doing through by His word and the indwelling Holy Spirit, in  Christ Jesus. And the Believers of God in Christ Jesus stead has the sure and assured word of prophecy to speak [communicate] forth by faith, in doing life and living godly, as they communicate their VICTORY as being VICTORIOUS in the grace, and not as VICTIMS – for this is HOW to OVERCOME the respective camouflage of the world’s daily challenges.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:12.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Revelation 19:10.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God SPAKE [COMMUNICATED] as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Emphasis Mine.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that overcometh the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

It’s upon the above KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the scriptural context that I thereby PRAY FOR YOU today, just as Apostle Paul did pray for Philemon in Philemon 1:4-6, that he might come to the knowledge and understanding of having an EFFECTUAL result in all live dealings in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s how to articulate the Abrahamic BELIEVE and FAITH to turn things around, that supposedly went against the natural law on the womb of Sarah, in order for her to give birth again after time is past to do so by calling [saying, declaring, announcing, proclaiming, testifying , communicating] – the THINGS that be NOT as though there WERE in the grace.

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK [COMMUNICATE]” 2 Corinthians 4:13/Emphasis mine.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by GRACE; to the end the PROMISE might be SURE to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have MADE thee a father of many nations,) before Him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH [COMMUNICATED] THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE . . . ” Romans 4:16-25/Emphasis mine.

Therefore, in thoughts or and in words, communicate to life circumstances by faith in the grace for our God in Christ Jesus, searches the hearts and thoughts of our being in communication to the heavenly, for our earthly outpour. The words of faith must dwell richly in your hearts and thoughts, for with your hearts you believe [conceived] the words of victory, triumph and such like, and by your mouth declaration [communication], the reality is made manifest by faith in the grace. [Psalms 19:4; Romans 10:8-13; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27].

May you be blessed in the knowing and understanding of this perspective and context in the grace.  Amen.

And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

“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 4-6.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, AND LABOUR OF LOVE, AND PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 FOR OUR GOSPEL CAME NOT UNTO YOU IN WORD ONLY, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, AND IN MUCH ASSURANCE; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 WHO AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, THAT HE MIGHT BECOME THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 AND BEING NOT WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform . . .” Romans 4:16-25.
