PRECIOUS STONES YOU ARE FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE 

By Leave a Comment

PRECIOUS STONES YOU ARE FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE: YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH WITH PRECIOUS PROMISES ARE FOR YOUR BEAUTY AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

As PRECIOUS STONES — Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and the like — are for VALUE, BEAUTY and GRACE, in the same manner, so is our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES, to Decorate, Beautify, Colour and Add Value to our worlds, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 

To be PRECIOUS is to be upheld in high esteem. It thus means to be loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like. 

PRECIOUS STONES is a name that is usually used in reference to four types of GEMS. Amongst DIFFERENT GEMS, there are only four PRECIOUS STONES — RUBY, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD and DIAMOND. And these PRECIOUS GEMSTONES — Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds — are highly valued for their IMMENSE RARITY and HIGH-END BEAUTY, hence they are known as PRECIOUS STONES. 

And with all the devaluation and falls in economic downturn and meltdown of most goods and services, the WORTH and PRICE of PRECIOUS STONES have remained steadily high and at the high-end in many respects. Simply because of the RARITY, BEAUTY, ADDED COLOUR and TAGGED VALUE that are attached to them. Yet they are perishable in Scriptural terms and truth. None of any in worldly possession can REDEEM a soul or give LIFE and GODLY LIVING to anyone, apart from the wealth value attached — Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 1 Kings 10; 1 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 9; 2 Timothy 2:20; 1 Corinthians 3:12. 

Unlike the earthly PRECIOUS STONES that are perishable in Scriptural terms, we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only have we obtained PRECIOUS FAITH, we have also been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in His BLESSEDNESS for us in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

What an awesome people we are to go therefore and decorate, colour and beautify our worlds of doing life and living godly with God’s graciousness and gracefulness of a PRECIOUS FAITH based and founded on PRECIOUS PROMISES. 

All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH — in terms of being eternal, priceless, rare, loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like. 

Also, our Lord Jesus Christ is described as being our imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE; and by Him we have been MADE LIVELY STONES in GRACE, wherein we are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 

And by our PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE, Jesus Christ, we have also become a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, a HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; who are designated to shew forth the praises of Him who has called us out of the darkness of this world into His marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR. 

Therefore, as PRECIOUS STONES — Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and the like — are for beauty, wealth and grace; much more, our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES are to Decorate, Beautify And Colour our Worlds in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 

I pray you BECOME what God’s WORD says you are, and thereby ‘Decorate, Beautify and Colour Your Worlds In FAITH’, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4 

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of GOLD AND OF SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“To whom coming, as unto a LIVING STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and PRECIOUS, 5 ye also, as LIVELY STONES, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is PRECIOUS: but unto them which be disobedient, THE STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and A STONE of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is A REVELATION OF THE BELIEVER’S IDENTITY AS PRECIOUS STONES 

It contrasts perishable earthly gemstones with our imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH and PRECIOUS PROMISES in Christ. You are called to see yourself as God sees you — valued, rare, beautiful — and to live in a way that decorates, beautifies and colours your world with Godly living. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. YOU ARE A PRECIOUS STONE IN GOD’S EYES
    Just as Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds are valued for RARITY, BEAUTY and GRACE, so you are upheld in high esteem by God.
    To be PRECIOUS means to be loved, cherished, treasured, revered and dearly prized. 
    1 Peter 2:4-10 
     
  2. EARTHLY RICHES PERISH, BUT YOUR FAITH DOES NOT
    PRECIOUS STONES have high WORTH and PRICE even in economic downturns, yet they are perishable.
    No worldly possession can REDEEM a soul or give LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 
    But we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH and have been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
    Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 2 Peter 1:1-4 
     
  3. CHRIST IS THE FOUNDATION AND THE LIVING STONE
    Jesus is the imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE. By Him we have been MADE LIVELY STONES.
    We are built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices. 
    Our foundation must be laid on Christ — gold, silver, precious stones, not wood, hay, stubble. 
    1 Corinthians 3:11-13, 1 Peter 2:4-8, 2 Timothy 2:19-21 
     
  4. YOU HAVE A ROYAL PURPOSE
    By Christ we are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, a HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people.
    We are designated to shew forth the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR. 
    1 Peter 2:9-10 
     
  5. YOUR VALUE DETERMINES YOUR OUTPUT
    All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH.
    When faith is treated as eternal, priceless and rare, it will Decorate, Beautify and Colour your world in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 
    Precious faith + Precious promises = partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED CORRUPTION. 
    2 Peter 1:3-4 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. SEE YOURSELF AS GOD SEES YOU
    Stop seeing yourself as common. You are PRECIOUS. You are rare. You are treasured. Walk in that esteem.
  2. BUILD ON THE RIGHT FOUNDATION
    Lay your life on CHRIST, the chief cornerstone. Build with gold, silver, precious stones — things of eternal value. Purge yourself to become a VESSEL unto HONOUR. 2 Timothy 2:20-21
  3. DECORATE YOUR WORLD WITH FAITH
    Go and colour your sphere of influence. Let your PRECIOUS FAITH and PRECIOUS PROMISES show in how you live, speak, serve and love. Be grace and beauty to a dark world.
  4. HOLD FAST TO THE PROMISES
    Through the KNOWLEDGE of God, His DIVINE POWER has given us all things. The PRECIOUS PROMISES make us PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE. Meditate on them daily.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD! 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN (ERRONEOUS), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV. 

In life you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD, or you are living by FATE that is built upon RELIGION — [DENOMINATION, TRADITION, SECTARIANISM] — that you do in the name of God, which connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, bylaws, and man-made traditional sectarian settings that have been carried on and practised over time as spiritual norms and the like. 

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the SURE WORD, and the SURE WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the bondages of FATE. 

Hence, FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus’ stead, in the face of any challenges that show up in the world. 

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 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/Emphasis Mine. 

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of FAITH in Christ Jesus, which are: 

  • The WORLD — the enemy we SEE 
  • The FLESH — the enemy we FEEL 
  • The DEVIL — the enemy we KNOW 
  • RELIGION — the enemy we DO 

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay — especially RELIGION, that subtle and crafty enemy we DO — many have been robbed of the genuineness of the Faith. For while many go on living by FATE thinking it is FAITH in Christ Jesus, they do not know that they have been engraved with religiosity in essence. And there are many who have no genuine difference that is scripturally FAITH-BASED, apart from the sectarian religious differences they hold as to what they do. 

The reason you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that is founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience — though not limited to — the graciousness of God in these areas: 

  • YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teachers, and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts mentioned earlier.
  • BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy Writ — the Bible — and provide the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.
  • SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowledge and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity, and an intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believers in Christ Jesus; and in relating to and dealing with life matters and the world about us.
  • EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us effective witness-bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassadors and the embassy of God. As ASSURED witnesses, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believers alike astray in great measure.
  • UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate, genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus’ stead.
  • UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure a scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts aforementioned, but it cannot be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the SURE FOUNDATION and SURE WORD — the person of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 

For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and/or any other of my books or published writings on the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal. 

It is my utmost PRAYER that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that is upon THE SURE WORD of God, which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3. 

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27. 

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5. 

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12. 

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3. 

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV. 

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV. 

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV. 

SUMMARY 
The message is a prophetic charge on WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD. 

It warns that without the SURE WORD as foundation, people live by FATE through RELIGION, and become victims of the WORLD, FLESH, DEVIL and RELIGION. But FAITH built on the SURE WORD — Christ Jesus — saves, delivers, frees and guarantees an ONWARD and UPWARD life that OVERCOMES THE WORLD. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE PROBLEM: MISTAKEN FAITH WITHOUT THE WORD
  • “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” [Matthew 22:29]. 
  • Two options exist in life: 
  • FAITH — built upon the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD. 
  • FATE — built upon RELIGION: DENOMINATION, TRADITION, SECTARIANISM, creeds, dogmas, bylaws and man-made settings. 
  • Many live by FATE thinking it is FAITH. Religiosity has robbed them of the genuineness of Faith.  
  1. THE SOLUTION: FAITH COMES BY THE SURE WORD
  • “So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” [Romans 10:17]. 
  • “If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD… ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” [John 8:31-32]. 
  • The SURE WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates from the bondages of FATE. 
  • “For this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH” [1 John 5:4].
  1. THE 4 ENEMIES OF FAITH TO IDENTIFY AND KEEP AT BAY
  • The WORLD — the enemy we SEE 
  • The FLESH — the enemy we FEEL 
  • The DEVIL — the enemy we KNOW 
  • RELIGION — the enemy we DO. This is the most subtle and crafty.
  1. 6 REASONS YOU MUST BUILD ON THE SURE FOUNDATION OF THE SURE WORD
    YOU AVOID HERESY: Protection against false teachings and teachers. 
    BIBLICAL ACCURACY: Teachings aligned with the Holy Writ — the Bible. 
    SPIRITUAL GROWTH: Proper knowledge that leads to maturity and intimacy with God and Believers. 
    EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: Makes us assured ambassadors of Christ, free from error. 
    UNITY AND COMMUNION: Common understanding of essential beliefs fosters unity in the Christian FAITH community. 
    UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: Tested and shaken, but not destroyed. Preserved by Christ the SURE FOUNDATION and SURE WORD [1 Corinthians 3:11; Matthew 7:24-25].  
  1. SCRIPTURAL PROOF OF THE SURE FOUNDATION
  • “FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST” [1 Corinthians 3:11]. 
  • “The FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE” [2 Timothy 2:19]. 
  • “We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” [2 Peter 1:19]. 
  • A house built on the ROCK stands through rain, floods and winds [Matthew 7:24-25]. 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. CHOOSE YOUR FOUNDATION TODAY: Stop building on FATE and RELIGION. Build your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD — Jesus Christ.
  2. CONTINUE IN THE WORD: “If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed” [John 8:31]. Daily hearing, reading, and doing the Word.
  3. IDENTIFY AND RENOUNCE THE 4 ENEMIES: Especially RELIGION. Purge yourself from traditions that contradict Scripture [2 Timothy 2:21].
  4. FEED FOR VICTORY: Let the WORD be your daily food. “DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE” [Proverbs 18:21]. Speak the Word to build faith.
  5. HOLD FAST YOUR CONFESSION: “LET US HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” [Hebrews 10:23; 4:14].
  6. BECOME A VESSEL OF HONOUR: Purged and prepared for every good work, built with gold, silver and precious stones on Christ [1 Corinthians 3:12-14; 2 Timothy 2:21].
  7. GET GROUNDED IN THE WORD: For more, get “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and other published writings to deepen your foundation.

BE ASSURED AND ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”

By Leave a Comment

BE ASSURED AND ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”: BEING BUILT ON – “THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“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” 2 Peter 1:19. 

There’s nothing as inspiring, revealing and empowering when you come to know and understand that your foundation of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, it’s of THE SURE FOUNDATION and it’s built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY as it’s written in the above scripture of 2 Peter 1:19, and in these other accompanied scriptures of 1 Corinthians 3:11, and 2 Timothy 2:9, however not limited: 

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11. 

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified. 

And when I mean THE SURE FOUNDATION that is built on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, I do mean the prophecy which you can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE because it TESTIFIES of you and it is TOWARD God and FAITH toward Christ Jesus as touching our REDEMPTION and nothing else. 

For an effectual, sure WORD of prophecy is TOWARD the TESTIMONY OF JESUS in God concerning us in redemption, without prejudice, sentiment and dissimulation; and anything else is falsehood, adulteration, perversion, counterfeit, man-made for self-hype, applause and such like. 

For the TESTIMONY of Jesus IS the true spirit of PROPHECY unto any believer in Christ Jesus. 
More so, the TESTIMONY of Jesus IS the TESTIMONY of God, signifying the TRUE spirit of Prophecy. [Revelation 19:10; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5] 

Upon this ASSURED and ENSURED TESTIMONY, on THE SURE FOUNDATION of THE SURE WORD of God, that GIVES and LEADS the Believers with the enabling to live in the sphere of — a triumphant, a victorious, an overcomer and a MORE THAN CONQUEROR — over the enemy and cohorts in all aspects of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead, as it is written: 

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you THE TESTIMONY of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, SAVE Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my PREACHING was not with ENTICING WORDS of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not STAND in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. 

And it must be noted that in the NEW CREATION TESTAMENT, the spirit of Prophecy is more of FORTH-TELLING than of FORE-TELLING which is of the OLD CREATION TESTAMENT. For the FORE-TELLING prophecy is as fulfilled in Christ Jesus while the FORTH-TELLING prophecy, is the prophecy of announcing, declaring, pronouncing, proclaiming, professing and confessing the fulfilled deed of Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION; that is ministering unto our COMFORT, EDIFICATION and EXHORTATION. Anything contrary it’s perversion and adulteration as it’s written: 

“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:3. 

“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 [Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18]. 

And knowing that the spirit of Prophecy is of God and in Christ Jesus’ stead, and that New Testament prophecy is TOWARD edification, exhortation and comfort, it behoves us to know then that THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY that is there to ASSURE and ENSURE THE SURE FOUNDATION is Jesus Christ, who then IS the WORD of God in prophecy, as it is written: 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14. 

Therefore, THE SURE FOUNDATION is ONLY AUTHENTIC when it is COMMUNICATED and ENACTED in every sphere of doing life and living godly IN God in Christ Jesus’ stead — and more so, that is when it is FOUNDED on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY — which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. 

Hence, we can be EMBOLDENED and ASSURED that our faith communication can then be EFFECTUAL — productive and results-oriented — as we ACKNOWLEDGE EVERY GOOD THING OF GOD in Christ Jesus THAT IS IN us, as it is written: 

“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. 

And by THE SURE WORD, the whole world IS RULED and GOVERNED, SUSTAINED and HELD TOGETHER, such that the things which we see were not made by things which are visible to man, but by the invisible prophetic SURE WORD of God. 

So in every day and moment, THE WORD is being FULFILLED, knowingly or unknowingly.  

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that THE WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is SEEN was not made out of things which are VISIBLE” Hebrews 11:3/Amplified. 

Therefore, for an ASSURED faith in God in Christ Jesus, you need to ENSURE that you are FOUNDED daily in every context of decision-making on THE SURE FOUNDATION which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY. 

This is to enable you to make an INTENTIONAL decision, in order to HAVE and LIVE in a leverage of thriving that is TOWARD an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, and to also keep you STABLE, STRONG, UNDAUNTED, UNCOMPROMISING, GRACIOUS and such like, in God and in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

And it will EQUALLY help you to ENSURE that your FAITH FOUNDATION is not built upon man-made indoctrination which are the consequence of denomination, tradition and all forms of creeds, dogmas and bye-laws that have HELD and KEPT many in religious bondage to suit number-gains and not in the FOLLOWERSHIP and LEADERSHIP of the Holy Spirit of THE SURE FOUNDATION of THE SURE WORD. 

And by your FAITH that is FOUNDED on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, you the believing one in Christ Jesus may go through SHAKING TIMES and PHASES in life as pertaining to anything under the Sun, but you CANNOT, and I repeat — you CANNOT be SHAKEN and CANNOT be DESTROYED by it, but will instead be able by your ASSURED FOUNDATION and ASSURED WORD to speak mysteries of gracious words unto EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT to elevate both you and OTHERS because of THE PREVAILING and GRACIOUS WORD of mysteries that IS BEING EXERCISED to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE matters of life and godliness, as it is written: 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3. 

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he SPEAKETH MYSTERIES. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. 

“And all bare him (Christ Jesus) WITNESS, and WONDERED at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine. 

“So mightily grew THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20. 

It is my earnest PRAYER that you GO FORTH in grace, ENSURING and ASSURING that you LIVE upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that is built upon THE SURE WORD, as you SPEAK FORTH mysteries unto your well-being and that of others, as you do life and live godly, in the graciousness and gracefulness, and BLESSEDNESS of God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3. 

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27. 

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5. 

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12. 

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3. 

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV. 

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV. 

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV. 

SUMMARY

  • Every man must TAKE HEED HOW HE BUILDETH upon the Foundation — 1 Corinthians 3:10-13 
  • You are the TEMPLE OF GOD and the Spirit DWELLETH in you — 1 Corinthians 3:16

MAKING POSSIBILITIES POSSIBLE IN THE DAWN YEAR

MAKING POSSIBILITIES POSSIBLE IN THE DAWN YEAR: IT’S ABOUT LAYING A RIGHTEOUS FOUNDATION – NO STRANGE GODS ALLOWED! 

“Having therefore these PROMISES, dearly beloved, let us CLEANSE ourselves from ALL FILTHINESS of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1. 

To live in EXALTATION and soar in DOMINION as an Eagle in the sphere and realm of THE GREATER LIFE with God, No STRANGE god is permitted and allowed; this is in order to make POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT OF GOD POSSIBLE, in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

For many in the CAUSE and COURSE of life challenges and circumstances will do ANYTHING knowingly and unknowingly to subvert and twist the path of THE GREATER LIFE; they do this, in order to get whatsoever they want, then await the God of THE GREATER LIFE who is THE LIMITLESS GOD, to bless their STRANGE god ACQUISITIONS outside Him. 

You need to KNOW today that an IDOL or STRANGE god is ANYTHING that replaces the CAUSE and COURSE of God in Christ Jesus, in the PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for LIFE AFFAIRS: Be it in – Relationships/Marriage; Friends/Family Matters, Job/Career, Education/Skill Training, Leadership/Governance, Business/Enterprises, Gospel Ministry/Ministerial Church, Politics/Political Adherence, Finance/Economic Transactions and in many more such like. 

If you intend and desire to SUCCEED, TRIUMPH and THRIVE with God, for a colourful, meaningful and fulfilling life, DON’T MAKE or KEEP a STRANGE god or idol with you. Set a RIGHTEOUS foundation with God. For God’s FOUNDATION assures, ensures and enriches ALL who do not have a STRANGE god and idol in God’s places in their life. That’s the HOW to live in EXALTATION and soar in DOMINION of THE GREATER LIFE of THE LIMITLESS GOD, in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

I PRAY FOR GOD’S GRACE, WISDOM, and SPEED in your Life endeavours in making POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT POSSIBLE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“What say I then? that the IDOL is ANY THING, or that which is offered (CHANCED) in sacrifice to idols is anything? 20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles SACRIFICE, they SACRIFICE to DEVILS, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP with devils. 21 Ye cannot DRINK the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: Ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:19-22 (Emphasis Mine). 

“. . . 11 As an EAGLE stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and THERE WAS NO STRANGE GOD WITH HIM. 13 He made him RIDE on the HIGH PLACES of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14 (Emphasis Mine). 

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but sin (STRANGE god) is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the WORLD. 5. They ARE of the world: therefore, speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6 (Emphasis Mine). 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” (Psalms 11:3). 

“Nevertheless, the FOUNDATION of God standeth SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ DEPART from INIQUITY (STRANGE god). 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For the GRACE of God has APPEARED that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the BLESSED hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who GAVE himself for us to REDEEM us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15. These, then, are the things you should TEACH. ENCOURAGE and REBUKE with all authority. Do not let anyone DESPISE you” Titus 2:11-15 NIV.

PRECIOUS STONES YOU ARE – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE 

By Leave a Comment

PRECIOUS STONES YOU ARE – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE: YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH WITH PRECIOUS PROMISES ARE FOR YOUR BEAUTY AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

As PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike are for VALUE, BEAUTY and GRACE, in same like manner, is our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES, to Decorate and Beautify and Colour and Add Value to our Worlds, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 

To be PRECIOUS is to be upheld in high esteem. It thus means to be loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like. 

PRECIOUS STONES is a name that is usually used in reference to four types of GEMS: Amongst DIFFERENT GEMS, there are only four PRECIOUS STONES – RUBY, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD and DIAMOND. And these PRECIOUS GEMSTONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds, are highly valued for their IMMENSE RARITY and HIGH-END BEAUTY, hence are known as PRECIOUS STONES. And with all the devaluation and falls in economic downturn and meltdown of most goods and services, the WORTH and PRICE tagged of PRECIOUS STONES have remained steadily steady and at high-end in many respects. Simply for the RARITY, BEAUTY, ADDED COLOUR and TAGGED VALUE that are attached on it. Yet they are perishable in Scriptural terms and Truth. None of any in WORTH possession can REDEEM a soul or gives LIFE and GODLY LIVING to anyone apart from the wealth value attached – (Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 1 Kings 10; 1 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 9; 2 Timothy 2:20; 1 Corinthians 3:12). 

Unlike the earthly PRECIOUS STONES that are perishable in Scriptural terms, we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only have we obtained PRECIOUS FAITH, but we have also been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in His BLESSEDNESS for us in Christ Jesus stead. What an awesome people we are to go therefore and decorate, colour and beautify our worlds of doing life and living godly with God’s graciousness and gracefulness of a PRECIOUS FAITH based and endowed on a PRECIOUS PROMISES. All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH in terms of been – eternal, priceless, rare, loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such likes. 

Also, our Christ Jesus is described as our imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE; and by Him we’ve been MADE a LIVELY STONES in GRACE, wherein we are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. And by our PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE Jesus Christ, we also have become a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that are designated to shew forth the praises of him who had called us out of the darkness of this world into His marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR. 

Therefore, as PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike, are for beauty, wealth and grace; much more our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES are to Decorate, Beautify and Colour our Worlds in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 

I pray you BECOME what God’s WORD says you are, and thereby ‘Decorate, Beautify and Colour Your Worlds In FAITH’, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4 

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13. 

“Nevertheless, the FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of GOLD AND OF SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“To whom coming, as unto a LIVING STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and PRECIOUS, 5 ye also, as LIVELY STONES, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is PRECIOUS: but unto them which be disobedient, THE STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and A STONE of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

BE ASSURED AND ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”

By Leave a Comment

BE ASSURED AND ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”: THAT’S BUILT ON – “THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

There’s nothing as inspiring, revealing and empowering when you come to know and understand that your foundation of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is of THE SURE FOUNDATION and it’s built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY as it’s written: 

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11. 

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified. 

“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” 2 Peter 1:19. 

And when I mean THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, I do mean the prophecy which you can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE because it testifies of you and it’s toward God and faith toward Christ Jesus as touching our REDEMPTION and nothing else. For an effectual sure WORD of prophecy is toward the TESTIMONY OF JESUS in God concerning us in redemption without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation; and anything else is falsehoods, adulteration, perversion, counterfeit, man-made for self-hype, applaud and such like. For the TESTIMONY of Jesus, is the true spirit of PROPHECY unto any believer in Christ Jesus. So, the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the TESTIMONY of God signifying the TRUE spirit of Prophecy. [Revelation 19:10; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5]. Upon this ASSURED and ENSURED TESTIMONY on THE SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD of God, that gives and leads the Believer’s with the enabling to live in the sphere of – a triumphant, a victorious, an overcomer and a MORE than conquerors – over the enemy and cohorts in all aspects of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written: 

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you THE TESTIMONY of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, SAVE Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my PREACHING was not with ENTICING WORDS of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not STAND in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. 

And it must be noted that in the NEW CREATION TESTAMENT, the spirit of Prophecy is more of FORTH-TELLING than of FORE-TELLING which is of the OLD CREATION TESTAMENT. For the FORE-TELLING prophecy is fulfilled in Christ Jesus while the FORTH-TELLING prophecy, is the prophecy of announcing, declaring, pronouncing, proclaiming, professing and confessing the fulfilled deed of Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION, that’s ministering unto our COMFORT, EDIFICATION and EXHORTATION. Anything contrary it’s perversion and adulteration as it’s written: 

“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:3. 

“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 [Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18]. 

And knowing that the spirit of Prophecy is of God and in Christ Jesus stead, and that the New Creation Testament prophecy is toward edification, exhortation and comfort, to know then that THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY is there to assure and establish A SURE FOUNDATION is Jesus Christ, who then is the WORD of God in prophecy as it’s written: 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14. 

Therefore, THE SURE FOUNDATION is only authentic to be communicated and enacted in every sphere of doing life and living godly of God in Christ Jesus stead – and more so, that’s when it’s founded on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Hence, we can be emboldened and assured that our faith communication can then be EFFECTUAL – productive and results oriented – as we acknowledged every of the GOOD of God in Christ Jesus that’s IN us, as it’s written: 

“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. 

And by THE SURE WORD, the whole world is ruled and governed, sustained and suspended, such that what we see are not made by what is visible to man but by the invisible prophetic SURE WORD of God. So, in every day and moment, THE WORD is being fulfilled knowingly or unknowingly.  

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that THE WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is SEEN was not made out of things which are VISIBLE” Hebrews 11:3/Amplified. 

Therefore, for an ASSURED faith in God in Christ Jesus, you need to ensure that you are founded daily in every context of decision making on THE SURE FOUNDATION which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY. This is to enable you make an intentional decision, in order to have and live in a leverage of thriving that’s toward an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, and to also keep you stable, strong, undaunted, uncompromising, gracious and such like, in God and in Christ Jesus stead. And it will equally help you to ensure that your faith foundation is not built upon Man-made indoctrinations which are consequence of denomination, tradition and all forms of creeds, dogmas and bye-laws that have held and kept many in religious bondages to suit in making number gains and not in followership and leadership of the Holy Spirit of THE SURE FOUNDATION of THE SURE WORD. 

And by your FAITH that’s founded on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, you the believing one in Christ Jesus, may go through a shaking times and phases in life as pertaining to anything under the Sun, but you CAN’T, and I repeat – you CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED by it, but will instead, be able by your ASSURED FOUNDATION and ASSURED WORD, speak mysteries of gracious words unto EDIFICATION, EXHORTATIONS and COMFORTS to elevate both you and OTHERS because of THE PREVAILING and GRACIOUS WORD of mysteries that’s been exercise to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE matters of life and godliness, as it’s written: 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3. 

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he SPEAKETH MYSTERIES. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. 

“And all bare him (Christ Jesus) WITNESS, and WONDERED at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine. 

“So mightily grew THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20. 

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you go FORTH in grace, ensuring and assuring you live upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built upon THE SURE WORD, as you speak FORTH mysteries unto your well-being and that of others, as you do life and live godly, in the graciousness,  gracefulness, and BLESSEDNESS of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3. 

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

PRECIOUS STONES YOU ARE – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

PRECIOUS STONES YOU ARE – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE: YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH WITH PRECIOUS PROMISES ARE FOR YOUR BEAUTY AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

As PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike are for VALUE, BEAUTY and GRACE, in the same like manner, is our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES, to Decorate and Beautify and Colour and Add Value to our Worlds, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

To be PRECIOUS is to be upheld in high esteem. It thus mean to be loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like.

PRECIOUS STONES is a name that is usually used in reference to four types of GEMS: Amongst DIFFERENT GEMS, there are only four PRECIOUS STONES – RUBY, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD and DIAMOND. And these PRECIOUS GEMSTONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds, are highly valued for their IMMENSE RARITY and HIGH-END BEAUTY, hence are known as PRECIOUS STONES. And with all the devaluation and falls in economic downturn and meltdown of most goods and services, the WORTH and PRICE tagged of PRECIOUS STONES have remained steadily steady and at high-end in many respects. Simply for the RARITY, BEAUTY, ADDED COLOUR and TAGGED VALUE that are attached on it. Yet they are perishable in Scriptural terms and Truth. None of any in WORTH possession can REDEEM a soul or gives LIFE and GODLY LIVING to anyone apart from the wealth value attached – (Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 1 Kings 10; 1 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 9; 2 Timothy 2:20; 1 Corinthians 3:12).

Unlike the earthly PRECIOUS STONES that are perishable in Scriptural terms, we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only have we obtained PRECIOUS FAITH, we have also been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in His BLESSEDNESS for us in Christ Jesus stead. What an awesome people we are to go therefore and decorate, colour and beautify our worlds of doing life and living godly with God’s graciousness and gracefulness of a PRECIOUS FAITH based and endowed on a PRECIOUS PROMISES. All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH in terms of  been – eternal, priceless, rare, loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such likes.

Also, our Christ Jesus is described as being our imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE; and by Him we’ve been MADE a LIVELY STONES in GRACE, wherein we are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. And by our PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE Jesus Christ, we also have become a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that are designated to shew forth the praises of him who had called us out of the darkness of this world into his marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR.

Therefore, as PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike, are for beauty, wealth and grace; much more our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES are to Decorate, Beautify And Colour our Worlds in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

I pray you BECOME what God’s WORD says you are, and thereby ‘Decorate, Beautify and Colour Your Worlds In FAITH’, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of GOLD AND OF SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“To whom coming, as unto a LIVING STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and PRECIOUS, 5 ye also, as LIVELY STONES, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is PRECIOUS: but unto them which be disobedient, THE STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and A STONE of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH

By Leave a Comment

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH: ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN (ERRONEOUS), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.

In life, you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD or you are living by FATE built upon RELIGION that you do in the name of God that connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, by laws, man-made traditional sectarian settings being carried on and practice overtime as a spiritual norms and other such like.

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the sure WORD, and the sure WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the FATE bondages. Hence FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead  in the face of any challenges that shows up in the world.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 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/Emphasis Mine.

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of the FAITH in Christ Jesus which are:

* The WORLD – the enemy we SEE

* The FLESH – the enemy we FEEL

* The DEVIL – the enemy we KNOW

* The RELIGION – the enemy we DO

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay – especially the RELIGION enemy that’s subtle and crafty which we DO and have robbed many of the genuineness of the Faith; for while many go living on FATE thinking it’s FAITH in Christ Jesus, and without the knowing that one have been engraved with religiosity in essence; and there are many there who are without genuine difference that’s scripturally FAITH-BASED apart from the sect religious differences they own as to what they do.

The essence why you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience these but not limited, of the graciousness of God in these sphere:

* YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teacher’s; and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts earlier mentioned.

* BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy writ – the Bible; and provides the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.

* SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowing and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity and intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believer’s in Christ Jesus; and in relating and dealing with life matters with the world about us.

* EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us a effective witness bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassador and embassy of God. As an ASSURED witness, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believer’s alike astray by a great measure.

* UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus stead.

* UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts as aforementioned earlier, but can’t be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the sure FOUNDATION and sure WORD, the person of – our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

** For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and or any other of my books or published writings in the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal.

It’s my utmost PRAYERS that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that’s upon THE SURE WORD of God which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.

“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.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV.

BE ASSURED AND ENSURED

By Leave a Comment

BE ASSURED AND ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”: THAT’S BUILT ON – “THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

There’s nothing as inspiring, revealing and empowering when you come to know and understand that your foundation of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is of THE SURE FOUNDATION and it’s built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY as it’s written:

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11.

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified.

“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” 2 Peter 1:19.

And when I mean THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, I do mean the prophecy which you can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE because it testifies of you and it’s toward God and faith toward Christ Jesus as touching our REDEMPTION and nothing else. For an effectual sure WORD of prophecy is toward the TESTIMONY OF JESUS in God concerning us in redemption without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation; and anything else is falsehoods, adulteration, perversion, counterfeit, man-made for self hype, applaud and such like. For the TESTIMONY of Jesus, is the true spirit of PROPHECY unto any believer’s in Christ Jesus. More do, the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the TESTIMONY of God signifying the TRUE spirit of Prophecy. [Revelation 19:10; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5]. Upon this ASSURED and ENSURED TESTIMONY on THE SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD of God, that gives and leads the Believer’s with the enabling to live in the sphere of – a triumphant, a victorious, an overcomer and a MORE than conquerors – over the enemy and cohorts in all aspects of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written:

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you THE TESTIMONY of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, SAVE Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my PREACHING was not with ENTICING WORDS of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not STAND in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5.

And it must be noted that in the NEW CREATION TESTAMENT, the spirit of Prophecy is more of FORTH-TELLING than of FORE-TELLING which is of the OLD CREATION TESTAMENT. For the FORE-TELLING prophecy is as fulfilled in Christ Jesus while the FORTH-TELLING prophecy, is the prophecy of announcing, declaring, pronouncing, proclaiming, professing and confessing the fulfilled deed of Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION, that’s ministering unto our COMFORT, EDIFICATION and EXHORTATION. Anything contrary it’s perversion and adulteration as it’s written:

“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:3.

“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 [Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18].

And knowing that the spirit of Prophecy is of God and in Christ Jesus stead, and that the New Creation Testament prophecy it’s toward edification, exhortation and comfort, suffix to know then that THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY that’s there to assure and ensure THE SURE FOUNDATION, is Jesus Christ, who then is the WORD of God in prophecy as it’s written:

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14.

Therefore, THE SURE FOUNDATION is only authentic to be communicated and enacted in every sphere of doing life and living godly of God in Christ Jesus stead – and more so, that’s when it’s founded on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Hence, we can be emboldened and assured that our faith communication can then be EFFECTUAL – productive and results oriented – as we acknowledged every of the GOOD of God in Christ Jesus that’s IN us, as it’s written:

“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.

And by THE SURE WORD, the whole world is rule and governed, sustained and suspended, such that what we see are not made by what is visible to man but by the invisible prophetic SURE WORD of God. So in every day and moment, THE WORD is being fulfilled knowingly or unknowingly.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that THE WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is SEEN was not made out of things which are VISIBLE” Hebrews 11:3/Amplified.

Therefore, for an ASSURED faith in God in Christ Jesus, you need to ensure that you are founded daily in every context of decision making on THE SURE FOUNDATION which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY. This is to enable you make an intentional decision, in order to have and live in a leverage of thriving that’s toward an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, and to also keep you stable, strong, undaunted, uncompromising, gracious and such like, in God and in Christ Jesus stead. And it will equally help you to ensure that you faith foundation is not built upon Man-made indoctrinations which are consequence of denomination, tradition and all forms of creeds, dogmas and bye-laws that have held and kept many in religious bondages to suit in making number gains and not in followership and leadership of the Holy Spirit of THE SURE FOUNDATION of THE SURE WORD.

And by your FAITH that’s founded on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, you the believing one in Christ Jesus, may go through a shaking times and phases in life as pertaining to anything under the Sun, but you CAN’T, and I repeat – you CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED by it, but will instead, be able by your ASSURED FOUNDATION and ASSURED WORD, speak mysteries of gracious words unto EDIFICATION, EXHORTATIONS and COMFORTS to elevate both you and OTHERS because of THE PREVAILING and GRACIOUS WORD of mysteries that’s been exercise to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE matters of life and godliness, as it’s written:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3.

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he SPEAKETH MYSTERIES. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:1-3.

“And all bare him (Christ Jesus) WITNESS, and WONDERED at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine.

“So mightily grew THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you go FORTH in grace, ensuring and assuring you live upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built upon THE SURE WORD, as you speak FORTH mysteries unto your well-being and that of others, as you do life and live godly, in the graciousness and gracefulness, and BLESSEDNESS of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.
