ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION

ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: BY ENGAGING ONLY ON THE “GOOD FIGHT” OF FAITH! 

“FIGHT the good FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12. 

Your FAITH in Christ Jesus is WORTH ALL THE FIGHT to ensure your DOMINON IN REDEMPTION. When I talk of GOOD FAITH, I’m not referring to demonic or satanic consciousness. I’m talking about taking your STAND on who you ARE in Christ Jesus – knowing Christ Jesus is our REDEEMER, giving you access, rights, and privileges to reign in DOMINON – where the enemy and cohorts has no authority over you. Hence Proverbs 24:10 says: 

“If thou FAINT in the DAY of ADVERSITY, thy STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10. 

When life throws ADVERSITIES – job loss, business closure, relationship uncertainty, sickness, marriage, children, financial struggles, career setbacks… How you handle them defines your trajectory – forward, backward, or stuck. So, WHAT DO YOU DO? 

WHAT YOU DO MATTERS – IT’S THE “FIGHT OF FAITH” – TO REIGN IN DOMINION IN REDEMPTION. 

I WANT YOU TO KNOW – THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ‘FAITH” – THAT THE ENEMY AND COHORTS ARE AFTER AND NOT THE EVENTS AND HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE. 

The enemy and cohorts knows if they can SUCCEED in getting you OFF your ‘FAITH’ – that’s your trust and dependence on God’s grace and absolute providence in Christ Jesus – they will not only ruin you, if you give them permission by not ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION, they will also ruin all who God had orchestrated you to be His vessel of use, to extend His BLESSEDNESS to them; for the ENEMY and COHORTS knows, that when you SUCCEED in achieving God’s intended PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in doing life and living godly by FAITH, others will be beneficiaries too. 

The enemy tried to destroy everything about our BELOVED JOB, but couldn’t crush his FAITH, and JOB by his FIGHT of FAITH for his FAITH, was able to come back far better off while declaring in the cause and course of his challenges – “I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE IS ABLE TO SAVE ME EVEN IN THIS FIGHT OF FAITH” (paraphrased).  

“For I KNOW that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25. 

The ENEMY and COHORTS tried it on Christ too; they were eventually and completely crushed and lost the battle of the FAITH as it’s written: 

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30. 

“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8. 

And I know for sure the enemy and cohorts can’t succeed with you except you let them – giving them the needed permission to hurt you and your FAITH especially – by not ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION. 

Therefore, rise up, FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH in Christ by ensuring your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION rights and privileges, for your FAITH is worth FIGHTING for because your destiny and that of others depends on it; don’t just give up or backslide over momentary lack – because I know you can, and will come back better – deal with life through FAITH and PATIENCE – Hebrews 6:11-12; for you can win wholly, faithfully, triumphantly, victoriously, graciously, and gracefully when you stand insured and assured of your FAITH in God’s unwavering ability in you and through you by ensuring your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION. That’s all you need now, today and always. 

NEVER GIVE THE ENEMY AND COHORTS THE OXYGEN THEY CRAVE – IN ORDER NOT TO HURT YOU IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD  

Therefore, don’t sit back or stay aloof, because the enemy and cohorts are envious of your worth and greatness, hence their intent. So, FIGHT! FIGHT!! and FIGHT!!! By ensuring your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. 

Don’t give up, or give in, I challenge you today. YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FIGHT IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. I pray God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS abound with you, in life and grace, in every way in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Have a blessed and awesome day.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“This CHARGE I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made SHIPWRECK: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20. 

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have FINISHED my COURSE, I have KEPT the FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:6-8. 

“The THIEF COMETH not, but for to STEAL, and to KILL, and to DESTROY: I AM COME that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it more ABUNDANTLY” John 10:10. 

“. . . 25 For I know that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth. . .” Job 19:1-29. 

“. . . And the Lord TURNED the captivity of Job, when he PRAYED for his friends: also the Lord gave Job TWICE as much as he had before. 11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. 12 So the Lord BLESSED THE LATTER END of Job MORE THAN HIS BEGINNING . . . 16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 17 So Job died, BEING OLD AND FULL OF DAYS” Job 42:10-17. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of standing firm in one’s faith in Christ Jesus, especially during times of adversity. It’s about ensuring one’s dominion in redemption by engaging in the “good fight” of faith (1 Timothy 6:12). The enemy and cohorts are after one’s faith, trying to get them off track, which can ruin not only the individual but also those God intended to bless through them. 

Key points: 

  • Adversities will come, but how one handles them defines their trajectory (Proverbs 24:10). 
  • The enemy can’t succeed if one doesn’t give them permission by not ensuring their dominion in redemption.  
  • Faith in Christ Jesus is worth fighting for; it’s about standing on who one is in Christ and reigning in dominion (John 14:30, 1 Corinthians 2:6-8).  
  • Examples of Job and Christ were given to illustrate the importance of faith and standing firm (Job 19:25, Job 42:10-17). 
  • One should not give up or backslide; instead, fight the good fight of faith with patience and assurance in God’s ability (Hebrews 6:11-12). 

The message encourages readers to rise up, ensure their dominion in redemption, and not let the enemy win. It ends with a prayer for God’s grace and blessedness to abound.

HOLDING FORTH UNTO FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

HOLDING FORTH UNTO FAITH: FOR YOU ARE – “GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR”! 

There are LIFE BATTLES, knowingly or unknowingly. And these BATTLES are real for everyone. But the greatest life battle is the BATTLE for your FAITH in Christ. And there’s an ENEMY and CHORTS fighting daily, going to and fro, roaring aggressively, looking for any avenue to devour your FAITH in Christ. 

You need to know the ENEMY and COHORTS know that if they get hold of your FAITH, EVERYTHING about you will be DEVOURED. 

Your FAITH in Christ Jesus is the VICTORY and TRIUMPH that overcomes the WORLD’S SYSTEM – that’s controlled by the ENEMY and COHORTS against your wellbeing.  When they attack, their PRIMARY aim isn’t your MONEY, FAMILY, CAREER, RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS or MINISTRY. It’s to make you DENY, GIVE UP, and QUIT on your FAITH. Why? because your FAITH is the divinely instilled DEFAULT MECHANISM that ENACTS your REDEMPTION, letting you live life in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

We are enjoined to HOLD ON FAITH to FIGHT a GOOD FIGHT of FAITH in life BATTLES. So, BUILD UP your most Holy FAITH in Christ Jesus by constantly affirming and enacting your GRACE stands in REDEMPTION. It’s a way to PREPARE for daily CHALLENGES and BATTLES. By effectually exercising your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus, you will rule and reign in DOMINION IN REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]” 1 Peter 5:8-10 (Amplified). 

“The HORSE is PREPARED for the DAY of BATTLE, But deliverance and victory belong to the Lord” Proverbs 21:31. 

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR a GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning FAITH have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20. 

“FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH, lay HOLD on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12. 

“For everyone born of God is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world; and this is the VICTORY that has CONQUERED and OVERCOME the world—our [continuing, persistent] FAITH [in Jesus the Son of God]. 5 Who is the one who is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God” 1 John 5:4-5 (Amplified). 

Further Scriptural Reading: Jeremiah 51:20-23; Jeremiah 12:5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57-58; Romans 8:35-39. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a call to believers to hold on to their faith in Christ Jesus, emphasising its importance in overcoming life’s battles and achieving victory. It highlights the enemy’s primary aim to devour faith, which is the divinely instilled mechanism that enacts redemption and enables believers to live in God’s blessedness. 

Key points include: 

  • Life battles are real, but the greatest battle is for faith in Christ. 
  • The enemy targets faith, knowing that if it’s devoured, everything else will be lost. 
  • Faith in Christ is the victory that overcomes the world’s system. 
  • The enemy’s attacks on money, family, career, etc., are secondary; the primary aim is to make believers deny, give up, or quit their faith. 
  • Believers are enjoined to hold on to faith, build it up, and exercise their rights and privileges in Christ to reign in dominion. 
  • Scriptural references (1 Peter 5:8-10, Proverbs 21:31, 1 Timothy 1:18-20, etc.) support the importance of faith, vigilance, and perseverance in spiritual battles. 

The message encourages readers to prioritise faith, prepare for battles, and trust in God’s deliverance and victory.

BELIEVE BEFORE YOU ACT 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing [applying] the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine. 

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22. 

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY: 

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

The message highlights that: 

  • Faith is acting according to what you believe about God’s Word in the context of your needs. 
  • You should build life on God’s Word, not on presumption, make-believe, sentiments, or suspicion, which lead to religion and sectarianism. 
  • God’s intent is for you to have life in fullness, in His grace, not religion. 
  • Faith comes by hearing God’s Word, and it’s active, whereas “believe” is passive. 
  • Acting without believing God’s Word leads to emptiness. 
  • You can either build on God’s approvals or men’s applause/self-made assertions. 
  • Faith in God’s Word enables triumph and overcoming challenges. 
  • Key scriptures like Mark 11:22-24, Romans 10:8-10,17, and Hebrews 11:1-3,6 emphasised on faith, believing, and acting on God’s Word. 

The message encourages you to believe in God and His Word, act accordingly, and receive from Him.

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR AND PHOBIAS: BEING BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF FAITH AGAINST FEAR AND PHOBIAS! 

“For God DID NOT GIVE us a spirit of timidity [of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear], but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of CALM and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:6-7/AMP [Classic Edition]. 

Today’s food for thought – it’s for your daily FREEDOM over fear and phobias; it’s for building faith against the spirit of fear – and to build faith is to hear and feed on the WORD – which are the sayings of God.

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. 

Therefore, give yourself to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD until it gets HOLD OF YOU and gives you the enabling to GET RID of that FEAR and PHOBIAS that have held you in bondage. It’s your FREEDOM DAY, for God made the day, that you might REJOICE, be GLAD and be FREE from EVERY EVIL and WICKEDNESS in such a time as this, in our World. Psalms 118:25; Galatians 1:3-5; Isaiah 54:17; Luke 10:17-20; Luke 1:68-75. 

When you set your heart – your human spirit-being to LOVE the WORD of God and to accordingly FEED your spirit-being healthily, you are by such BUILDING up the WORD of FAITH to OVERCOME the world FEAR BONDAGES. When you are FEEDING your spirit-being by the WORD – the SAYINGS of God, not TRASH or GARBAGE, you are knowingly and unknowingly ACTIVATING the perfect LOVE that cast out FEAR. Perfect LOVE that CAST out the spirit of FEAR is a consequence of the WORD of God you love. And FAITH WORKS by LOVE. 1 John 5:3-5, 1 John 4:17-18; Galatians 5:6; John 8:31-32; Proverbs 4:20-23. 

Therefore, be emboldened by FEEDING on God’s WORD, such that the WORD of FAITH, working through LOVE, gives you the enabling stand in GRACE, to ACCESS your SALVATION in Christ Jesus. And as you act on what you BELIEVE about God’s WORD in CONTEXT, CONFESSING to that same WORD of FAITH generated through FEEDING on the WORD, you become what the WORD says you can be in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 10: 8-10, 17; Galatians 5:6; Romans 5:1-2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 4:14-16; Mark 11:20-24.

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH: THAT’S THE FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE! 

“For in Christ Jesus NEITHER circumcision NOR uncircumcision AVAILS anything, but FAITH WORKING through LOVE . . . 13 For you, brethren, have been CALLED to LIBERTY [FREEDOM]; only do not use LIBERTY as an opportunity for the FLESH, but through LOVE SERVE one another . . . 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5: 6, 13, 25/Emphasis Mine. 

God is not a magician, but will ALWAYS honour His WORD and PROMISES to All. Therefore, it’s time for ALL who expects the best of God, to gear up and put on, another kind of SENSE; meaning, for any to keep up and remain steadily steady, and triumphant in life on a daily basis in order to advance the kingdom cause of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay – such needs to turn on the enabling synergy; and to turn on the enabling synergy is by ACTIVATING and SYNCHRONISING the button of the SIXTH SENSE – The SENSE of FAITH; that is, to keep the SENSE of FAITH switch button always on a steady ‘ON’ position. This is to enable you stay TRIUMPHANT in doing life and living godly by God’s grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT [FIVE SENSES – SMELL, TASTE, HEAR, SEE, TOUCH/FEEL]” 2 Corinthians 5:7/Emphasis Mine. 

The SIXTH SENSE, which is the SENSE of FAITH can only WORK EFFECTUALLY and EFFICIENTLY, when its default is set always and continuously, on the ‘ON’ button position; meaning, when you LIVE and WALK in the spirit of LOVE which God has shed [lavished, poured] in our hearts by the Holy Spirit He has given to us, then we make all the difference as God’s ambassadors in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, POURED] abroad in OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

This is the only way to keep your SIXTH SENSE – which is of FAITH –  activated over your FIVE SENSES of what you – SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL, SEE, HEAR, and TASTE, which are, by creation design, limited to sense God’s lead and your life dealings and godly living in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

So, THINK and start acting NOW!

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

“We having the same spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38]. 

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6. 

“. . . 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.

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS 

By Leave a Comment

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN! 

As Believers in Christ Jesus, we’ve got sufficient cause to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in God’s Kingdom cause, keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay, avoiding labouring in vain, in path of doing life and living godly in the Lord. More importantly, as we keep on keeping on, labouring on the gracious and graceful rewarding kingdom purpose for us, fulfilling the given assignment meaningfully, in Christ Jesus – as it’s written: 

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58. 

There’s the need and cause in Christ Jesus, for us as the reborn of God, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS, and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others, as Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. This is important and for the essence of these three gracious and graceful vitality acts of good deeds, as you do life and live godly in the Lord God, to fulfil purpose in His Kingdom advancement, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are as written in the holy writ: 

“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” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine 

And from the above scripture, in respect to the essence of GIVING THANKS, the act of PRAYERS and the cause for REMEMBRANCE, we can deduce the following in context: 

  • The (Your) Work of Faith 
  • The (Your) Labour of Love 
  • The (Your) Patience of Hope 

You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others around you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focused as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly realm in the midst of challenging and difficult times. 

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again, while it’s day, when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTHTY of REMEMBERANCE. And know that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord. 

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SOME 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” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine. 

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine). 

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.

The FAITH That WORKS: It PLEASES God through DILIGENCE

The FAITH That WORKS: It PLEASES God through DILIGENCE! 

“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. 

The FAITH that WORKS, that is, productive and results oriented, is the FAITH that Is expressed through DILIGENCE. For diligence PLEASES God, and thus it locates and positions one effortlessly with kings – nobility, dignity and honour instead of the obscured, unproductive and mean men. 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

And when you PLEASE God by your diligent ways, He makes the ENEMY and COHORTS to be at PEACE with you. What a better way to keep your enemy and cohorts at bay effortless in LIFE and GRACE, in order to keep you advancing the Kingdom Causes of our Good. 

And DILIGENCE is to be steadfast, steadily steady, earnestly earnest, smartly smart, energetic effort and consistently consistence onto the set and or given focus; and being SMART – effectual and efficient to accomplish the desired intent. 

Know full well that life in grace is not by HARDWORKING; it’s by being SMARTWORKING. 

The FAITH That WORKS – PLEASES God through DILIGENCE. And PLEASING God REWARDS Through DILIGENCE.

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE!

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE! 

“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE of FAITH and LOVE; and for AN HELMET, the HOPE of salvation” 1 Thessalonians 5:8. 

May your ENDEAVOURS to abound in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE, glow, be inflame and ablaze by the WORKING of your FAITH and may in all, your LABOUR of LOVE and PATIENCE in HOPE account for your good and goodness in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“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” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4. 

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed. Meaning, FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God. 

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So, the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE. 

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly. 

Therefore, set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, for LOVE is INEVITABLE in every way. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured and be assured to be actively engaged; for love is the hub or fulcrum for productive cause of faith with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV) 

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS

By Leave a Comment

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST! 

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified. 

There’s no geographical location or situations that can stop or prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.  

I know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens from the earth, and to give the heavenly permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and any day with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to SERVE others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace. 

“For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an OPPORTUNITY for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the BEST for one another” Galatians 5:13/Amplified. 

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—WITHOUT GUILE AND HYPOCRISY]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10. Be DEVOTED to one another with [authentic] BROTHERLY AFFECTION [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified. 

“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 [LAVISHED] abroad in our HEARTS [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 5:1-2. 

Be it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER. 

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“While the earth remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

“But covet EARNESTLY the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . . “ 1 Corinthians 12:31/1 Corinthians 13:1-13. 

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35. 

“Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:13-14. 

“Let LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” Romans 12:9-12.
