OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY: THE SPIRITUAL, VITAL AND LEGAL TENDER TO DO LIFE AND KINGDOM BUSINESS ON EARTH! 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

FAITH is not a DOCTRINE or CREED or BYE-LAWS and such like and has NONE in it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian walk transactions; and it is imperative and important in helping us become that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God. It is a product of the Spirit and it is synergised by the Word of God (John 6:63; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11). FAITH comes at the hearing and Faith goes away at No continuous hearing of the WORD of God – meaning FAITH realisation and actualisation is dependent on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God (Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17). 

Currently in the World, the DE FACTO tender for exchange is the US Dollar. 

If one transacts business outside another nation’s acceptable legal tender — say Dollars ‘$’ for the USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for the United Kingdom and such like — your action will warrant counterfeit trafficking, and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. 

In the same scenario, there is NO single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of FAITH — for it is the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and the Earthly, in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING business affairs. 

Hence there is the NEED to WALK IN FAITH and, most importantly, CONTEND in Life FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN. 

The reason is because Faith is the VICTORY by which life warfare can be dealt with and overcome at every level of life in the world and in EARTHLY affairs. 

 (1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11). 

Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen [ 2 Corinthians 4:13, 18]. 
God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith. 
That makes the vehicle ‘FAITH’ SPIRITUAL, VITAL and LEGAL TENDER to all of life’s endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and his cohorts at bay. 

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and STEADY in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. 
All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH IS ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit. AMEN — Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints” Jude 1:3. 

“keeping your FAITH [leaning completely on God with absolute trust and confidence in His guidance] and having a good conscience; for some [people] have rejected [their moral compass] and have made a SHIPWRECK of their FAITH” 1 Timothy 1:19 (Amplified). 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

“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.

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD 

By Leave a Comment

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD: FOR IN YOUR DARK AND DARKNESS – THERE IS GOD’S GLORY AND BEAUTY! 

“Therefore we do not become DISCOURAGED [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER self is being [progressively] RENEWED day by day. 17 For our MOMENTARY, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Amplified. 

I know what tears and pain and disappointment FEEL and LOOK like. I know what setbacks with hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness LOOK like. I know how it feels when it seems there should be no tomorrow. I know how it feels to wish the morning was night and the night was day; and when the day and night SEEM so long that you wish you could BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND LIKE AN OSTRICH INSTEAD OF SOARING LIKE AN EAGLE; And when the darkness seems so dark that nothing in life matters anymore and all you think about is to stop living because you are overwhelmed with the matters of life. I know how it looks when all one can see is DANGER and such like, and nothing meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling anymore. I have seen it in many forms to know it is ONLY by God and THROUGH God in Christ Jesus’ stead that we can come through under the Sun in humanity. 

“In the beginning God CREATED the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without FORM, and VOID; and DARKNESS was UPON the FACE of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT. 4 And God SAW the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called THE LIGHT Day, and THE DARKNESS He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day” Genesis 1:1-5. 

And I have come a long way and grown to know that God does not shine light UPON darkness but causes light to shine OUT OF darkness for His glory and our BLESSEDNESS. As He spoke to the void and formless earth that light should come forth out of the darkness that was overpowering the earth, and there was – and there is – light. The light became the order for the day [morning and evening] and the dark and darkness became the order for the night. That’s what OUR CREATING GOD can do in the midst of anything that’s overwhelming us in life and grace. 

“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, TO GIVE THE LIGHT of the knowledge of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6. 

And I want you to know what else I know – God DOES bring forth LIGHT OUT OF EVERY DARK and DARKNESS that shows up in our day-to-day challenges. The dark and darkness that show up momentarily, or as long-standing obstacles in metaphorical form as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. I am very certain and assured that God will not OVERSHADOW that darkness with light just to keep you in CIRCUS but will BRING FORTH LIGHT OUT OF that seemingly impossible DARK PLACE and the DARKNESS with the needed and needful graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS. For God’s intent is to see you GLOW, REJUVENATE, REFRESH and BLOSSOM out of “THAT” dark and darkness you are dealing with right now. I know it without a shadow of a doubt, because every river of challenge that I have seen, walked through and gone through has made me BETTER than BITTER – because I know the essence of LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY. 

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT of dawn, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18 Amplified. 

Therefore be at peace with yourself today, for the DAYSTAR in you, which is Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord for today, tomorrow and always, will shine again in you and through you, and many in darkness will come to your light in Him to share in your joy and testimony of grace. For darkness CAN’T OVERSHADOW light. Light will always be superior to any darkness. The darker the case, the more the glow in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Stop CRYING as one without hope in God; for in that your DARKNESS – therein is God’s GLORY and BEAUTY of you in Christ Jesus. I pray that you will take on a new look and a leap of faith in life, that your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus CAN’T BE STOPPED by any level of darkness, no matter the momentary lapses and delays in the now.  

HAVE FAITH IN GOD – and be BLESSED in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, TO GIVE THE LIGHT of the knowledge of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6. 

“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 as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye 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 shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all FLESH shall see it together: for the Mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5. 

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:28-30. 

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was WITHOUT form, and void; and DARKNESS was UPON the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the FACE of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day” Genesis 1:1-5.

“As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God” Psalms 42:1-11.

BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: THERE’S NOW – NO MORE CONDEMNATION – IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“But God, who is RICH in MERCY, for his great LOVE wherewith He LOVED US, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath QUICKENED US together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 and hath RAISED US up together, and MADE US sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness TOWARD US through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:4-9. 

What a freedom! What an awesome, gracious and graceful life to live now and always – on an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead – To receive the heavenly pardon of God by: being loved, forgiven, discharged and acquitted, received and made blameless and guiltless. And then QUALIFIED to access His presence and share in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely LIBERATING us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:2/Amplified. 

What men can’t offer and do, God HAS offered and given to us without conditionalities, prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation – by saying to us for NOW, today and tomorrow that – THERE’S NO MORE CONDEMNATION! – FOR YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!! And that settles it all to live with hope, faith and love. Amen. 

You ARE loved, washed, forgiven, predestined, called, LOOSED, freed, redeemed, qualified, delivered, translated, conveyed, known, accepted, glorified, crowned a royal priesthood, a holy nation, chosen, peculiar, a special breed, righteous, [Revelation 1:5-6, Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Ephesians 15-12; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29] and many such like – and it is IRRESPECTIVE OF ANYTHING ELSE.  

Therefore, shout yourself to: 

GLORY! 

HALLELUJAH! 

AMEN!!! 

MAY OUR GOD BE FOREVER PRAISEED IN YOU. AND MAY THE ETERNAL BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST THAT JUSTIFIED US AND FREED US, SPEAK FOR YOU TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOR ALL ETERNITY. 

Now head up, shoulders high and on the high heels of your faith, to live in the grace wherein God has set you to walk upon in Christ Jesus’ stead – and it is irrespective of, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. NO MORE CONDEMNATION in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION [NO GUILTY VERDICT, NO PUNISHMENT] for those who ARE in Christ Jesus [who BELIEVE in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [THE LAW OF OUR NEW BEING] has set you free from THE LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH” Romans 8:1-2/AMP. 

“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. 

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. For He has RESCUED US and has DRAWN US to Himself FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14/AMP. 

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

SUMMARY: 

This message is a declaration of liberty for every Believer. Because of Christ’s blood and God’s rich mercy, we have been JUSTIFIED, FREED, and QUALIFIED. 
Therefore we are to STOP LIVING UNDER CONDEMNATION, FEAR, OR MAN’S APPROVAL and instead WALK IN THE GRACE, FREEDOM, AND BLESSEDNESS that God has already given us in Christ Jesus — ONWARD and UPWARD.

  1. THE FOUNDATION: JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH

THE RESULT

We now RECEIVE THE HEAVENLY PARDON OF GOD: loved, forgiven, discharged, acquitted, received, made blameless and guiltless. 
We are QUALIFIED to access His presence and share in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. STAND FIRM IN FREEDOM. Do not go back under a yoke of slavery, guilt, or condemnation. Galatians 5:1

  6. SELAH — PAUSE AND THINK. Meditate on these truths: Romans 8:1-2, Romans 5:1-2, Colossians 1:12-14 

FINAL CHARGE: 
NO MORE CONDEMNATION in Christ Jesus. 
MAY OUR GOD BE FOREVER PRAISED IN YOU. AMEN. 

 

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY 

By Leave a Comment

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY: THE SPIRITUAL, VITAL AND LEGAL TENDER TO DO LIFE AND KINGDOM BUSINESS ON EARTH! 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

FAITH is not a DOCTRINE or CREED or BYE-LAWS and such like and has NONE in it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian walk transactions; and it is imperative and important in helping us become that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God. It is a product of the Spirit and it is synergised by the Word of God (John 6:63; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11). FAITH comes at the hearing and Faith goes away at No continuous hearing of the WORD of God – meaning FAITH realisation and actualisation is dependent on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God (Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17). 

Currently in the World, the DE FACTO tender for exchange is the US Dollar. 

If one transacts business outside another nation’s acceptable legal tender — say Dollars ‘$’ for the USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for the United Kingdom and such like — your action will warrant counterfeit trafficking, and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. 

In the same scenario, there is NO single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of FAITH — for it is the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and the Earthly, in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING business affairs. 

Hence there is the NEED to WALK IN FAITH and, most importantly, CONTEND in Life FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN. 

The reason is because Faith is the VICTORY by which life warfare can be dealt with and overcome at every level of life in the world and in EARTHLY affairs. 

 (1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11). 

Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen [ 2 Corinthians 4:13, 18]. 
God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith. 
That makes the vehicle ‘FAITH’ SPIRITUAL, VITAL and LEGAL TENDER to all of life’s endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and his cohorts at bay. 

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and STEADY in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. 
All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH IS ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit. AMEN — Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints” Jude 1:3. 

“keeping your FAITH [leaning completely on God with absolute trust and confidence in His guidance] and having a good conscience; for some [people] have rejected [their moral compass] and have made a SHIPWRECK of their FAITH” 1 Timothy 1:19 (Amplified). 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

“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. 

SUMMARY: 

This message is a Kingdom charge and teaching on FAITH as the legal currency of the Kingdom — the only vehicle that makes DOING LIFE and KINGDOM BUSINESS on earth possible. 

  1. THE NATURE OF FAITH
  • FAITH is not a DOCTRINE, CREED, or BYE-LAWS. It has NONE of that in it. 
  • FAITH is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian walk and transactions. 
  • Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God Hebrews 11:6. 
  • It is a product of the Spirit and is synergised by the Word of God John 6:63; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11. 
  • FAITH comes by hearing, and Faith goes away at NO continuous hearing of the WORD of God. 
    FAITH realisation and actualisation is DEPENDENT on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 
  1. FAITH AS THE KINGDOM’S LEGAL TENDER
  • In the world, the DE FACTO tender for exchange is the US Dollar. 
  • Kingdom Parallel: There is NO single being who has walked the earth with meaningful kingdom results without a life of FAITH — for it is the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and the Earthly. 
  • Hence the NEED to WALK IN FAITH and CONTEND FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS Jude 1:3. AMEN. 
  1. FAITH AS THE VICTORY
  • Faith is the VICTORY by which life warfare is overcome 1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11. 
  • Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen 2 Corinthians 4:13, 18. 
  • God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith Romans 12:3.
  • God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH
    Unto every one of us is given grace according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST Ephesians 4:7 
  1. THE MANDATE AND WARNING
  • Keep your walk of FAITH alive and STEADY in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. 
  • All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH IS ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27; Matthew 19:26. AMEN. 
  • WARNING: keeping your FAITH and having a good conscience; for some have rejected their moral compass and have made a SHIPWRECK of their FAITH 1 Timothy 1:19 AMP. 
  • HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience 1 Timothy 3:9. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER
  • Romans 12:3 — God has dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH 
  • Ephesians 4:7 — Grace is given according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST 
  • Jude 1:3 — We must EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH once delivered 
  • 1 Timothy 1:19 — Keep your faith and conscience or risk a SHIPWRECK 
  • 1 John 5:4-5 — THIS IS THE VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even OUR FAITH 

FINAL CHARGE: 
Feed it by the Word, walk in it daily, contend for it, and let it act.

ASSURED HOPE – MISSION GO

By Leave a Comment

ASSURED HOPE – MISSION GO: THE APOSTOLIC MISSIONARY MANDATE! 

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 GO therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 TEACHING them to OBSERVE all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE” Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

The kingdom mandate and assignment is MISSION GO – it’s to GO to the ends of the earth with the Gospel, the good news of what Jesus has done for human redemption, thereby reconciling them to God by the commission WORD of reconciliation [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. The Gospel is about reconciliation – the reconciling of men from their depraved state to the glorious redemption deed in Christ Jesus stead. The MISSION GO is built upon and about the ASSURED HOPE in the grace of the commission – signaling that: “HE WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS, UNTO THE ENDS OF THE AGE”. What an extraordinary hope to bank upon, being assured, while in obedience to the Mission Go in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom will be PREACHED in all the world as a WITNESS to all the NATIONS, and then the end will come” Matthew 24:14/NKJV. 

“But you shall RECEIVE power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be WITNESSES to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and TO THE END OF THE EARTH” Acts 1:8/NKJV. 

It’s the knowing and understanding that the cost of a soul it’s not measured by the things accumulated and owned [Psalms 49:6-9] but by the souls being saved, by the souls being restored from backsliding and by ensuring the growing of the lambs to sheep and by enhancing sheep to make more lambs. [Luke 15:1-32; John 21:15-17]. 

There’s NO ROOM for making just converts or members for applause but the making of DISCIPLES only, that go making other disciples in the grace, unto the ends of the earth in Christ Jesus’ stead. For it’s mission go, to seek and save that which is lost and reconcile back to the Father God in Christ Jesus stead. 

“For the Son of Man has come to SEEK and to SAVE that which was lost” Luke 19:10/NKJV 

The commissioned mission of the Church, which you are, as the Church – for the Church it’s not the architectural building or structure but you -, is MISSION . . . MISSION unto the ends of the earth: Soul Salvation, Backsliding Restoration and Growing the Church, in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And He said to them, “GO into all the world and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. 16 He who BELIEVES and is BAPTIZED will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these SIGNS will follow those who BELIEVE: In My NAME they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they WENT OUT and PREACHED EVERYWHERE, the Lord working with them and CONFIRMING THE WORD through the ACCOMPANYING SIGNS. Amen” Mark 16:15-20. 

“How I kept back nothing that was helpful [profitable], but PROCLAIMED it to you, and taught you PUBLICLY and from HOUSE to HOUSE, 21 TESTIFYING to Jews, and also to Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

“For I am NOT ASHAMED of THE GOSPEL of Christ, for it is the POWER of God to SALVATION for EVERYONE who BELIEVES, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is REVEALED from faith to faith; as it is written, “The JUST [RIGHTEOUS] shall LIVE by faith” Romans 1:16-17/NKJV. 

SUMMARY 

This message is a bold commissioning charge titled: ASSURED HOPE – MISSION GO: THE APOSTOLIC MISSIONARY MANDATE! 

It calls the Church — which is YOU — to arise in obedience to the Great Commission with the confidence that Christ’s presence and authority go with us to the ends of the earth. 

  1. THE MANDATE: AUTHORITY + ASSIGNMENT + ASSURANCE

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 GO therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 TEACHING them to OBSERVE all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE” Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

  • GO: The kingdom mandate and assignment is MISSION GO — to go to the ends of the earth with the Gospel. 
  • MAKE DISCIPLES: Not just converts or members for applause, but DISCIPLES who make other disciples in the grace. 
  • THE GOSPEL IS RECONCILIATION: The good news of what Jesus has done for human redemption — reconciling men from a depraved state to the glorious redemption deed in Christ Jesus’ stead [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. 
  • ASSURED HOPE: This mission is built on the promise — “HE WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS, UNTO THE ENDS OF THE AGE”. That is the extraordinary hope we bank on while obeying. 
  1. THE SCOPE AND POWER FOR MISSION
  • GLOBAL WITNESS: “And this GOSPEL of the kingdom will be PREACHED in all the world as a WITNESS to all the NATIONS, and then the end will come” Matthew 24:14/NKJV. 
  • EMPOWERED WITNESSES: “But you shall RECEIVE power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be WITNESSES to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and TO THE END OF THE EARTH” Acts 1:8/NKJV. 
  • SIGNS FOLLOW: The Lord works with us, CONFIRMING THE WORD through ACCOMPANYING SIGNS [Mark 16:15-20]. 
  1. THE VALUE SYSTEM OF THE MISSION

The cost of a soul is not measured by things accumulated and owned [Psalm 49:6-9] but by: 

  1. Souls being SAVED 
  2. Souls being RESTORED from backsliding [Luke 15:1-32] 
  3. Growing lambs to sheep, and sheep making more lambs [John 21:15-17] 

The heart of the mission: “For the Son of Man has come to SEEK and to SAVE that which was lost” Luke 19:10/NKJV 

  1. WHO YOU ARE IN THIS MISSION

The Church is not a building — YOU ARE THE CHURCH. 
Therefore, the commissioned mission of the Church is: 
MISSION . . . MISSION unto the ends of the earth: 
Soul Salvation, Backsliding Restoration and Growing the Church in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

Our lifestyle of mission: 

  • PROCLAIM PUBLICLY and from HOUSE to HOUSE, testifying REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ [Acts 20:20-21] 
  • NOT ASHAMED of THE GOSPEL, for it is the POWER of God to SALVATION for everyone who believes [Romans 1:16-17/NKJV] 

CALL TO ACTION 

Dear friend, the command is clear: GO. 

  1. RECEIVE THE AUTHORITY: Jesus has ALL authority. You go in His name, not your strength. 
  2. EMBRACE THE ASSURANCE: He said “I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS”. You are not alone on this mission. 
  3. OBEY THE ASSIGNMENT: 
    GO – Step out. Talk to someone this week about Jesus. 
    MAKE DISCIPLES – Don’t just win people, walk with them. Baptize and Teach them to observe all He commanded. 
    PREACH THE GOSPEL – To every creature. Publicly and from house to house. 
    VALUE WHAT GOD VALUES: Stop counting applause, members, or things. Start counting souls saved, restored, and discipled. 
    LIVE THE GOSPEL: Be unashamed. Let the Gospel be the power of God through your life for salvation. 

Rise up Church! The fields are white. The Spirit is with us. The authority is given. The time is now. 
MISSION GO — unto the ends of the earth, until every nation has heard. 

Amen!

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION: IT’S OUR GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE SUPREME TASK! 

“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17. 

WHY do people get so worried that in the existence and presence of the Church — the embassy and ambassador of God for human and world redemption — that the world is still going crazy in stupidity and foolishness, and in every bad taste of trajectory with wars, hunger, distortion, confusion, and unstable governments and governance? 

The answer is simply this: for all the unimaginable problems in the world, all that the world does hear and see today is nothing but RELIGION and DENOMINATION and DOCTRINAL sectarianism, sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation. 

Unlike the early Church Disciples and Apostles of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who PREACHED THE GOSPEL and were acclaimed as people who turned their world inside out or upside down by the GOSPEL they proclaimed — and who were set to die for the cause and course. 

“. . . 6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME hither also . . .” Acts 17:1-7 

“Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and PERCEIVED that they were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT men, they marvelled; and they took KNOWLEDGE of them, that they had BEEN with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it” Acts 4:13. 

FOR A WORLD WITHOUT THE GOSPEL in any phase and dispensation, will indicate all the worries of today and such like that we see. 

For only by THE GOSPEL can the world experience EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages, in order to have faith toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus, and to receive the REVELATION by faith to faith, of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [righteous stand] for the complete liberation of all. 
Romans 1:16-17; Romans 5:1-2; Acts 20:20-21 

The consummation of God’s plan for man’s salvation with religion, denomination, and doctrinal sect DOGMAS will not emancipate anyone, no matter how much investment and resources. Instead, it will get people enslaved in the DOGMAS and keep them devoted in commitment and dedication to such-like sectarianism of belief, as we see across the board. 

Religiously denominationalised and doctrinal “GOSPEL” are very destructive and keep people in perpetual subjection, bondages, and dogmas as long as it is there. 

That’s why Apostle Paul warned the Galatian Church of their shift from the Gospel that brought them genuine salvation into “ANOTHER GOSPEL” Galatians 1:6-9. 

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though WE, or AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9. 

For the GOSPEL is not a religion, denomination and doctrine but the POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation irrespective of gender, colour, tongue and geographical location and inclinations. [Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:26-29]. 

THE GOSPEL has been before the law, the psalms, and the prophets; 
and it answered those who are outbound and out-bent by the law, psalms, and prophets as the basis and ground of faith toward God and His Christ — rather than the gospel, which is Christ, and expressed in the WORD, of which He is the WORD. 
John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7 

God PREACHED THE GOSPEL to Father Abraham, through whom the whole nation and families of the earth shall be BLESSED — long before the law, the psalms, the prophets, and others came into being. 
Galatians 3:8 

Meaning also, long before religion, denomination, and doctrine were crafted and shaped by men for all to be enslaved into as a sect.  

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED BEFORE THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9 [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. 

“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3. 

I am emboldened to say today, that any FOUNDATION that’s not centered on the GOSPEL wherein God’s power and wisdom are ascertained for human SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS, leads to SELF, HYPE and APPLAUD and ENTITLEMENTS of men and not after God and His Christ Jesus, for the good of all mankind in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Corinthians 1:18-24]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17. 

“For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17. 

“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have NOT BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have NOT HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report? 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17. 

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was NOT SPOKEN of, they shall see: and they that have NOT HEARD shall understand” Romans 15:20-21. 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20. 

“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. 

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city” Acts 8:1-8. 

SUMMARY: 

The message teaches us that the world’s problems will not be solved by RELIGION, DENOMINATION, or DOCTRINE. Only THE GOSPEL — the Power and Wisdom of God — can emancipate humanity from all bondage, reveal God’s Righteousness, and bring true salvation. Preaching the Gospel is not optional. It is a NECESSITY, a DISPENSATION committed to the Church, and our supreme global task. 
1 Corinthians 9:16 — “woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL!” 
Romans 1:16 — “For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION” 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. WHY THE WORLD IS STILL IN CHAOS DESPITE THE CHURCH 
    The Church is God’s embassy and ambassador for world redemption. Yet the world is still full of wars, hunger, confusion, and unstable governance. 
    Why? Because what the world sees today is not THE GOSPEL, but RELIGION, DENOMINATION, and DOCTRINAL SECTARIANISM — sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation. 
    Unlike the early Church Disciples and Apostles who PREACHED THE GOSPEL and “TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN” Acts 17:6. They were men who had “BEEN WITH JESUS” Acts 4:13 and were willing to die for the cause. 
  1. THE GOSPEL IS THE ONLY MEANS OF EMANCIPATION
    FOR A WORLD WITHOUT THE GOSPEL, all the worries we see today will continue. 
    Only by THE GOSPEL can the world experience EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages. 
    It produces FAITH toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus and the REVELATION by faith to faith of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [righteous stand] for complete liberation Romans 1:16-17; Romans 5:1-2. 

Religion, denomination, and doctrinal DOGMAS cannot emancipate. No matter the investment, they only enslave people in commitment to sectarian belief. 
A religiously denominationalised “gospel” keeps people in perpetual subjection and bondage. 
That’s why Paul warned the Galatians against shifting to “ANOTHER GOSPEL” Galatians 1:6-9 — “let him be ACCURSED.” 

  1. THE GOSPEL IS NOT RELIGION — IT IS CHRIST, THE POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD
    The Gospel is not a religion, denomination, or doctrine. 
    It is THE POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation — irrespective of gender, colour, tongue, or location 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10. 

THE GOSPEL PRECEDED THE LAW, PSALMS, AND PROPHETS. 
It answered those who were “outbound and out-bent” by the law. The Gospel IS CHRIST, expressed in the WORD, of which He is the WORD John 1:1-5, 14. 

GOD PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO ABRAHAM Galatians 3:8 — “In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3, long before religion, denomination, and doctrine were crafted by men to enslave. 
Galatians 3:6-9 — Those of faith are children of Abraham and are BLESSED with him. 

  1. PREACHING THE GOSPEL IS A NECESSITY AND A DISPENSATION 
    1 Corinthians 9:16-17 — Paul said preaching the Gospel is a NECESSITY laid on him. To preach willingly brings REWARD. To refuse is disobedience to a DISPENSATION COMMITTED to him. 

The Great Commission: 
Matthew 24:14 — The Gospel of the Kingdom must be preached in all the world as a witness. 
Matthew 28:18-20 — GO and TEACH all nations. 
Mark 16:15-20 — PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. The Lord will confirm the Word with signs. 
Acts 1:8 — You shall receive POWER to be WITNESSES to the uttermost part of the earth. 
Romans 10:14-17 — How shall they believe without a preacher? FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God. 

  1. THE WARNING: PREACH THE TRUE GOSPEL, NOT ANOTHER 
    Some preach Christ out of ENVY, STRIFE, CONTENTION, and PRETENCE Philippians 1:15-18. 
    But the true Gospel must be preached in TRUTH and LOVE for the defence of the Gospel. 
    Any foundation not centred on the Gospel leads to SELF, HYPE, APPLAUD, and ENTITLEMENTS of men, not after God and Christ 1 Corinthians 1:18-24. 
  1. THE RESULT OF GOSPEL PREACHING 
    Acts 8:1-8 — When Philip preached Christ, there was great joy in the city. Demons came out, the sick were healed. 
    The Gospel brings liberation, joy, and the manifestation of God’s power. 

CALL TO ACTION: 

THIS IS OUR GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE SUPREME TASK 

  • Preach THE GOSPEL, not religion — Let go of sectarianism, dogma, and denominational hype. 
  • Be willing to die for the cause — Like the early Apostles who turned the world upside down. 
  • Go to where Christ has not been named — Romans 15:20-21. Build on the foundation of Christ. 
  • Let faith work — Preach so people can HEAR, BELIEVE, and be SAVED Romans 10:17. 
  • Guard the Gospel — Reject “another gospel.” Christ crucified is the Power of God unto salvation. 

Final Word: 

The world is not waiting for another denomination. The world is waiting for THE GOSPEL. It is the Power of God. It is our NECESSITY. It is our TASK. And until it is preached, the world remains in bondage.

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN: WORKING INSIDE OUT IN THE GRACE! 

By Leave a Comment

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN: WORKING INSIDE OUT IN THE GRACE! 

“For we [who ARE born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually TRANSFORMED, RENEWED, SET APART for His PURPOSE and] ARE the TRUE CIRCUMCISION, who WORSHIP IN the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult IN Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we HAVE or who we ARE] IN the flesh” Philippians 3:3/AMP. 

It is the SYNERGY within that ENERGISES and makes all the DIFFERENCE. It is all about these: 

  • The grace within 
  • The faith within 
  • The word within 
  • The love within 
  • The power within 
  • And the Holy Spirit Working It out from within. 

FOR WE: 

  • Are Saved and grow by GRACE 
  • Are to live and triumph by FAITH 
  • Are Sustained and upheld by the WORD  
  • Are Influenced and propelled by LOVE  
  • Are Empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT – enabling us to thrive, and fulfil purpose meaningfully, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

For we ARE the New creation JEW of the heart [the spirit] and INWARDLY we ARE – Spirited, Hearted, Reborn, Recreated, Circumcised, Called, Justified, Predestined, Foreknown, Chosen, Accepted, Blessed, Made, Qualified, Glorified, Purposed, Sanctified, Renewed, Transformed, Delivered, Translated, Forgiven and more . . . in Christ Jesus.  

“For he is not a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:28-29. 

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE. 29 For whom He FOREKNEW, He also PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He PREDESTINED, these He also CALLED; whom He called, these He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, these He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30/NKJV. 

Therefore, be ENERGISED and let it be that THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN – WORKING from The INSIDE OUT. For the working within is about what God in Christ Jesus, has ACCOMPLISHED IN you by His grace, through faith in His Word, by the Holy Spirit.  

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

It is in knowing and living through what is within you that what God has done for you in Christ Jesus becomes meaningful and purposeful. What is wrought in you is what you can actualise, so that it becomes your reality. In this way, you ensure that what has been done for you – in grace, through faith, by the word, in love, energised by the power of the Holy Spirit of love given to us – is fulfilled. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad IN our HEARTS [INNERMOST BEING, SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died FOR us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

It is my earnest prayer that what has been done in you, and is within you, will become your reality in doing life and living godly, by God’s blessedness in Christ Jesus. Amen.  

Be Blessed. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE. 29 For whom He FOREKNEW, He also PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He PREDESTINED, these He also CALLED; whom He called, these He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, these He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30/NKJV. 

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

“Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath MADE us, and not we ourselves; we ARE his people, and the sheep of his pasture” Psalms 100:2-3. 

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath SHINED in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the POWER may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7. 

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 5, 8. 

“You ARE of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is IN you is GREATER than he who is IN the world. 5 They ARE of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We ARE of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6/NKJV. 

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father IN spirit and IN truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him IN spirit and IN truth” John 4:19-24. 

“Look at the proud one, His soul is not right within him, But the righteous will LIVE by his FAITH [in the true God]” Habakkuk 2:4/AMP [Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:16-17].  

SUMMARY 

This message is on THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN: WORKING INSIDE OUT IN THE GRACE — that the New Creation life in Christ Jesus is powered, sustained, and expressed from the inside out by what God has already wrought in you. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE IDENTITY OF THE NEW CREATION
    Philippians 3:3; Romans 2:28-29
    We ARE the true circumcision — not outward in the flesh, but INWARDLY in the heart and spirit. 
    In Christ, you are Spirited, Reborn, Recreated, Justified, Predestined, Called, Sanctified, Glorified, Qualified, and more. Your identity is not defined by the flesh, but by what God has done IN you. 
  2. THE SYNERGY WITHIN: WHAT POWERS THE INSIDE-OUT LIFE
    The difference in the believer’s life is the synergy working from within:
  • The GRACE within — we are saved and grow by grace 
  • The FAITH within — we live and triumph by faith Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:4-5 
  • The WORD within — we are sustained and upheld by the Word 
  • The LOVE within — we are influenced and propelled by the love of God shed in our hearts Romans 5:5 
  • The POWER within — we are empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT to thrive and fulfil purpose
    It is the Holy Spirit working it out from within that makes all the difference. 
  1. THE WORKING OF GOD IN US
    Romans 8:28-30 — Those who love God and are called according to His purpose are Foreknown, Predestined, Called, Justified, and Glorified.
    Colossians 1:12-14 — The Father has Qualified us, Delivered us, and Conveyed us into the Kingdom of His Son. 
    2 Corinthians 4:6-7 — God has shined in our hearts and placed His treasure — His power and glory — in earthen vessels. 
    Therefore, ALL THINGS work together for your good because of the working within. 
  2. FROM KNOWING TO ACTUALISING
    Philemon 1:6 — “That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus.”
    What God has accomplished in you only becomes your reality when you know it, acknowledge it, and live from it. What is wrought in you is what you can actualise. 
  3. TRUE WORSHIP AND TRUE LIVING
    John 4:23-24— True worshippers worship the Father IN spirit and IN truth. 
    This life is not about outward performance but about an inward reality expressed outwardly — grace, faith, love, and the Spirit working together. 

CALL TO ACTION: 

BE ENERGISED! 
Stop striving from the outside in. Begin living from the inside out. 

  • Acknowledge every good thing that is IN you in Christ Jesus. 
  • Live by the grace, faith, Word, love, and Spirit within you. 
  • Let the synergy within energise your purpose, worship, and daily life in God’s BLESSEDNESS.  

For the victory that overcomes the world is already IN you — it is your FAITH 1 John 5:4-5.

THE LOVING OF GOD 

By Leave a Comment

THE LOVING OF GOD: WILL CAUSE ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD AND PERSONAL REVELATION! 

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28. 

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

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – good [good times] or bad [challenging and difficult times] – to work together for your good, then start loving God in spirit [in hearts hearts] and in truth [in His Word]. That’s the earnest way to offer to God worship that’s worthily and services that’s acceptably in the grace. 

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit [hearts] and in truth [the word]” John 4:19-24/Emphasis Mine. 

Loving God should be a deliberate and intentional, conscious act from your heart [human spirit] and not from your head; and you need to know full well, with understanding, that God’s love is only poured out and shared abundantly in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love — Romans 5:5, 8. 

And the acknowledgement of this knowing and understanding will cause all things to work together for your good, because you can only offer meaningful worship to God from a heart of love toward Him. 

That is how God can cause you to live with purpose and reveal the real you to you, for meaningful and purposeful living and loving in His grace. 

For the Spirit of God gives man the breath of life and the understanding of life — Zoe, the eternal being of man toward God in humanity. 

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life” Job 33:4. 

Material instruments like a Stethoscope, Scan devices, X-ray and the like may be useful in human endeavors, yet you cannot detect the human spirit with them, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly, though it dwells in your body.[bodily] 

Simply put, the spirit of man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and searching out all the inner depths of his heart. Hence, it is only by the spirit that man can truly worship God. 

For the man within the human is a spirit being, he has a soul [the seat of will, intuition, and intellect], and he lives in a body.[eternal][flesh] 

And only by God’s Word can the tripartite being — spirit, soul, and body — be detected, separated, and discerned together at the same time.[triune]  

“The spirit of man is the candle [lamp] of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly [being]” Proverbs 20:27/Emphasis mine. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

“For the WORD of God is quick [alive], and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13/Emphasis mine. 

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you. It’s by the faith that pleases God working through love, is the hallmark way to live beyond walls by God in spirit and truth. And the faith that overcomes and brings about victory and triumph in the grace becomes one’s realities in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by [through] love” Galatians 5:6/Emphasis mine. 

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6 

“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. 

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Beloved reader, I encourage you in the now and today, to start Loving God. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED .” Romans 8:28-30. 

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6. 

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. 

SUMMARY: 
This message centres on THE LOVING OF GOD and how it unlocks God’s goodness, purpose, and revelation   

  1. God’s Promise to Those Who Love Him
    Romans 8:28 — ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are CALLED according to His PURPOSE.  
    1 Corinthians 2:9-10 — God has prepared things for those who love Him, and by His Spirit He REVEALS the deep things of God to us.  
  1. Loving God the Right Way
    Love for God must be deliberate and intentional — from the heart [human spirit], not just the head.  
    Romans 5:5 — God’s love is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.  
    John 4:23-24 — True worship is in spirit and in truth. It is from a heart of love that we offer worship that is acceptable and pleasing to God.  
    That is how God causes all things to work for your good and reveals the real you for purposeful living.   
  1. Understanding the Human Spirit 
    Man is a spirit, has a soul, and lives in a body 1 Thessalonians 5:23.  
    The spirit is eternal and cannot be detected by stethoscopes, scans, or X-rays. Proverbs 20:27 calls it “the candle of the Lord.”  
    Only the Word of God can divide and discern spirit, soul, and body Hebrews 4:12-13.  
    It is the Spirit of God that gives breath and understanding — Zoe, eternal life Job 32:8; 33:4. 
  1. Faith That Works by Love 
    Galatians 5:6 — Faith works by love.  
    Hebrews 11:6 — Without faith it is impossible to please God.  
    1 John 5:4-5 — This is the faith that overcomes the world and brings victory.  
    When faith is activated by love, you have hold of God and His blessings are released.  

Final Word:  

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS — just LOVE GOD.  
For ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS, and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus.  
Start Loving God now and today. Amen.

HAVING FAITH IN GOD: IS HAVING FAITH IN HIS WORD!

By Leave a Comment

HAVING FAITH IN GOD: IS HAVING FAITH IN HIS WORD!

To have FAITH in God, is to have FAITH in His WORD. 
To have FAITH in His WORD is to first BELIEVE in His WORD. 
To BELIEVE in His WORD is to HEAR His WORD and ACT — CONCEIVE accordingly to His WORD. 
Therefore, FAITH IS ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE [CONCEIVE] FROM THE HEARING OF GOD’S WORD. 

Mountains can be levelled and made plain, Valleys can be exalted and filled, Crooked Roads can be made straight, and Rough Places in life can be made smooth — when we BELIEVE what God has said by His WORD concerning that matter, then ACT accordingly on it. 

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO MAKE IT, OR UNTIL YOU MAKE IT. There’s no room to fake, dilute, or adulterate God’s WORD to make it work. Just BELIEVE and act on it accordingly, and your miraculous needs will be answered effortlessly. 

UNBELIEF is a killer disease to RECEIVING from God. I mean UNBELIEF in the WORD of God. 
BELIEF is of the heart [human spirit] and not of the head [Five Senses]. It’s heart knowledge and not head knowledge. 

THREE REASONS TO CRAVE FOR THE WORD: 

  1. FAITH can only COME by the HEARING of the WORD of God, that is needed to plight in life; and to thrive meaningfully, purposefully and fulfilling – Romans 10:17; Amos 8:11-14; Galatians 3:2-6.
  2. The WORD is of the TRINITY in the Heaven or Heavenly places where your expected blessing are located and comes to you by FAITH – 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-7, 14; Ephesians 1:3.
  3. The Holy Angels, supposedly the ministering agents of God that are there to convey your blessings to you from the heavens, ONLY RESPONDS, that is, ATTENDS or HARKENS to the VOICE of God’s WORD and not to a mere tears or sentiments and emotions – Psalms 103:20, Hebrews 1:7, 14. 

Know for sure and sure that FAITH is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) as a CONSEQUENCE of the HEARING of God’s WORD. 

Therefore, THINK. PONDER. MEDITATE. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your UNBELIEF: for verily I say unto you, If ye have FAITH as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be IMPOSSIBLE unto you” Matthew 17:19-20. 

“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” Hebrews 11:22-24. 

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

SUMMARY: 

Faith in God and faith in His Word are inseparable. Real faith is not pretending or “faking it.” It is hearing God’s Word, believing it in your heart, conceiving it, and acting on it. 

  1. THE DEFINITION OF FAITH
  • FAITH = HEARING + BELIEVING + CONCEIVING + ACTING on God’s Word. 
  • It is heart knowledge, not head/sense knowledge. Romans 10:17 
  • UNBELIEF blocks receiving from God. It is called a “killer disease” to faith. 
  1. WHAT FAITH DOES

When we believe what God says and act on it: 

  • Mountains are levelled, Valleys exalted, Crooked roads made straight, rough places made smooth. Isaiah 40:4 
  • Nothing is impossible Matthew 17:20. 
  • You don’t need to fake, dilute, or adulterate the Word. Just BELIEVE and ACT, and God answers effortlessly. 
  1. THREE REASONS TO CRAVE THE WORD
  • Faith comes by hearing the Word — We need it to survive and thrive in life Romans 10:17; Amos 8:11-14. 
  • The Word is of the TRINITY — Your blessings are located in heavenly places and come to you by faith in the Word 1 John 5:7; Ephesians 1:3. 
  • Angels respond to the Word — Ministering spirits only hearken to and attend the voice of God’s Word, not to tears or emotions Psalms 103:20; Hebrews 1:14. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL ANCHORS
  • Matthew 17:19-20: Unbelief stops miracles. Faith as a mustard seed moves mountains. 
  • Mark 11:22-24: Have faith in God. Believe in your heart, say it with your mouth, doubt not, and you will have it. 
  • Romans 10:8-10, 17: The Word of Faith is in your mouth and heart. We believe with the heart and confess with the mouth unto salvation. Faith comes by hearing the Word. 

FINAL CHARGE: THINK. PONDER. MEDITATE. 

Faith is acting accordingly on what you believe because you heard God’s Word. 
Stop living by senses and sentiments. Live by the Word. That’s how you receive from God. 

One Line Summary: 
God’s Word produces faith in the heart. When we believe it and act on it, we see God move mountains, and Heaven responds to us.

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

Sometimes doing life by the book and doing the right things as expected in all goodness, may seem unfair in some or many occasions. And when the expected results don’t come, the good decisions that one has made, or is to make, in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits can seem unfounded or elusive. I know the feeling and understand such circumstances. And if that’s your circumstances, God this:  God is good and faithful, true and sure to answer you in all MATTERS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

More so, God is a good arranger, organiser, and is awesome in His goodness, to make all things – the easy and the challenging [difficult], the good and the bad times – work together for our good in His plan, purpose and pursuit, as we ponder over His WORD in our good and bad times, He ensures the effectual working of His assured WORD on our behalf in His grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose” Romans 8:28/[Ephesians 1:10-11/Amplified]. 

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it DAY and NIGHT, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful” Joshua 1:8/Amplified. 

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

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

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

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

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

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28. 

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

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

“For WHATSOEVER is BORN of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY: 

This is a doctrinal-exhortation and pastoral decree built on one central thesis: Endurance through FAITH, PATIENCE, and OBEDIENCE is the only pathway to VICTORY, INHERITANCE, and BLESSEDNESS when life feels unfair or prolonged. 

Here are the 7 core pillars of the message:  

  1. THE FOUNDATIONAL DECREE:TOUGH TIMES HAVE AN END 
    TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER. Every CHALLENGE has an appointed END-GAME time and date under the sun [Proverbs 23:18].
    James 1:2-4: DIFFICULTIES and TEMPTATIONS are designed to produce PATIENCE that matures into being COMPLETE and LACKING NOTHING. The TOUGH IN FAITH are those who KEEP ON KEEPING ON even when all things COME TO A HALT. 
  1. THE CHARACTER OF GOD IN DELAY: THE GOOD ARRANGER
    God is GOOD, FAITHFUL, TRUE, and SURE [Romans 8:28; Joshua 1:8]. He is the GOOD ARRANGER and ORGANISER who causes ALL THINGS — EASY AND CHALLENGING, GOOD AND BAD TIMES — TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD for those who love Him and are called according to His PURPOSE.
    Implication: Unfair seasons and “unfounded” decisions are not wasted when one abides in His WORD DAY AND NIGHT. 
  1. THE REQUIRED POSTURE: FAITH + PATIENCE + DILIGENCE
    VICTORY is accessed, not by flesh or haste, but by a 3-fold posture: 
    FAITH: FAITH IS THE VICTORY that overcomes the world system [1 John 5:4-5]. It is the corresponding action to what you believe of God’s WORD. 
    PATIENCE: PATIENCE OF HOPE is required to avoid becoming like Saul — acting outside God’s timing [Hebrews 6:12]. 
    DILIGENCE: God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love [Hebrews 6:10-12]. STEADFASTNESS secures access to your PROMISED INHERITANCE. 

  2. THE ABRAHAMIC PATTERN: HOPE AGAINST HOPE
    Believers are to be ASSURED and INSURED like Patriarch Abraham [Romans 4:17-21].
    CONTRARY TO HOPE, IN HOPE BELIEVED — being FULLY CONVINCED that God is ABLE TO PERFORM what He promised.
    Result: All things eventually come together for a perfect, complete ANSWER to God’s expectations. 
  1. THE IDENTITY & REWARD: MORE THAN CONQUERORS
    Through FAITH, believers are MORE THAN CONQUERORS over the world system that blocks progress and success [Romans 8:37].
    1 Peter 5:7-10: After you have suffered a while, God Himself will PERFECT, ESTABLISH, STRENGTHEN, and SETTLE you.
    James 1:12: The one who ENDURES trial will receive the VICTOR’S CROWN OF LIFE. 
  1. THE WARNING: RESIST DRAWING BACK
    Hebrews 10:35-39: Do not cast away your CONFIDENCE. You have need of PATIENCE to RECEIVE THE PROMISE.
    1 Corinthians 10:13: God is FAITHFUL — He will not allow temptation beyond your ability but will provide the WAY OF ESCAPE. DRAWING BACK leads to perdition; BELIEVING leads to saving of the soul. 
  1. THE BENEDICTION: BLESSEDNESS ACTUALISED
    The closing prayer is for God to keep, strengthen, and sustain the reader in FAITH until their BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is ACTUALISED meaningfully and purposefully.
    1 Peter 5:7: CAST ALL YOUR CARE upon Him, because He CARES for you. 

IN ONE LINE 

When life by the book feels unfair and results are ELUSIVE, the believers mandate is to KEEP ON KEEPING ON in FAITH and PATIENCE — because GOD, the FAITHFUL ARRANGER, will meet you at your point of need, turn tough times into TESTIMONY, and bring your EXPECTATION to its END-GAME in BLESSEDNESS. AMEN.
