THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”: THE ENABLING POWER OF GOD TO ACCESS AND FULFILL PURPOSE IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“. . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God . . .” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17. 

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1. 

Until redemption in Christ Jesus, the OLD TESTAMENT CREATION people were LED by mere men who served under God as Prophets, Priests, Kings and Levites, and who were not born again [not circumcised in the heart] otherwise born of God with the Holy Spirit living within them [Romans 2:28-29; Philippians 3:3; John 14:16-27; Romans 5:5]. All of them, from the Old Testament till the Gospel, none was born of the Spirit in their spirit-being, in order for them to know, understand and experience God within for themselves [John 3:1-15]. Those used to accomplish divine purpose in the Old Creation Testament received the Blessed [empowering] Spirit of God’s BLESSEDNESS UPON them firstly – without living WITHIN them – but ONLY for them to function and carry out the intent, plan, purpose and pursuit of God as they were instructed in all generations and dispensations until Christ Jesus. That Is when the Spirit WITHIN comes into being for our BLESSEDNESS within. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the divine trinity, was concealed – not revealed in person except in function- to those used in the Old Creation Testament. 

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

And God’s BLESSEDNESS in grace is as real as when it is being carried by the spiritual empowering of the Holy Spirit, who is the enabler of God, and the ensuring factor that brings God’s promises to physical reality – tangibility in various formats to all in humanity. Unfortunately, most people think that God’s BLESSEDNESS, [BLESSINGS] are of the physical, [tangible] things they see, feel/touch, smell, hear and taste; which unfortunately, it is not, otherwise it would rot, rust, corrupt, decay, degrade, depreciate and the like, in all things happening under the Sun. And it is heavenly secured in God’s hands of righteousness, where Christ is seated and we in grace ARE positioned and seated at the right hand of the Father God, and it is with no earthly corruptions, counterfeits, distortion and adulteration to undermine its priceless worth in the grace. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:3, 20. 

“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT together in HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6. 

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES break through and STEAL: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither MOTH nor RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES do not BREAK through nor STEAL: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART [SPIRIT-BEING] be also” Matthew 6:19-21. 

For God’s enabled BLESSEDNESS, [BLESSING] it is not accompanied with sorrow and such like, but it enriches to all things. And it is not limited to any to monopolised, as it is irrespective of gender, race, colour, tongue, status, class, geographical location, etc. And it is not governed by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22. 

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH UNTO ALL that call upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13. 

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35. 

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29. 

In same scenario, to BE LED BY THE SPIRIT [HOLY SPIRIT] is another act of the BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] of God in Christ Jesus. That you live and do life in grace by the leading [being led] of God in every one of your life decisions, it is an awesome, gracious and graceful realm to enjoy of God in order to fulfil purpose in your redemption in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord in humanity knows the virtue of BEING LED of the Spirit, from the onset of His humanity and Ministry until the end of His time in our redemption. He knows it takes the Father God’s BLESSEDNESS to function within His perspectives. And because He was BEING LED of the Holy Spirit, He was able to fulfil the demands of the Father God for human redemption with no stone left unturned in His humanity [Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1/Luke 4:1-22; Acts 10:38]. 

The Believers of God in Christ Jesus can also enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BEING LED of the Holy Spirit. It is God’s given access to ALL in Redemption that are born of God in Christ Jesus [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8]. That is what ensures SONSHIP in God in Christ Jesus. [Galatians 4:6-7; Romans 8:14 (8-11, 14-17, 26-40); Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13]. And every believer should crave to ensure that they are BEING LED of God, otherwise satan and his cohorts will set up middlemen in religious cloaks and will act religiously as your go-between to God, which is unscriptural toward religiosity, dogma, bondage and such like [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12]. There are many out there for deception, to pervert and to deceive others of the truth [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18]. And BEING LED of the Holy Spirit BLESSEDNESS gives the wisdom from above, to be above only in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. [James 3:15 (13-18)]. 

I PRAY that you will rise up now in Christ Jesus and thirst and hunger after the BLESSEDNESS of BEING LED by the Holy Spirit of promise – who is the Holy Spirit of the triune [trinity] God [1 John 5:7]. If you act otherwise, it then means you have set yourself readily ready to fall prey and victim before the enemy and cohorts of your faith in Christ Jesus’ stead. [1 Peter 5:8-9; James 3:13-18]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1. 

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . . 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all . . . 18 The Spirit of the Lord is UPON me, because he hath ANOINTED me to PREACH the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:1-22. 

“How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him” Acts 10:38/AMP Classic Edition. 

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17. 

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49. 

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

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39. 

“. . . 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13. 

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:13-18. 

SUMMARY: 

Core Thesis: 
The message presents being led by the Holy Spirit as the central blessedness of the New Covenant. It contrasts Old Testament function “upon” with New Testament life “within”, arguing that true purpose, sonship, and God’s incorruptible blessedness are accessed only through Spirit-led living in Christ. 

  1. Definition of God’s Blessedness
    Nature: Not physical, tangible, or perishable. It does not rot, rust, decay, or depreciate like earthly things [Matthew 6:19-20]. 
    Location/Security: Heavenly, secured in God’s hands of righteousness where Christ sits at the right hand of the Father [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6]. Believers are “seated in heavenly places in Christ”. 
    Character: Adds no sorrow [Proverbs 10:22]. Enriches in all things. Inclusive — no difference of gender, race, class, geography [Romans 10:11-13; Galatians 3:28]. Not governed by sentiment, prejudice, or dissimulation. 
  1. “Being Led of the Spirit” as Enabling Power
    Scriptural Anchor: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” [Romans 8:14]. Spirit-led living is presented as proof of sonship. 
    Christ’s Pattern: Jesus Himself knew the virtue of being Spirit-led from the start of His ministry [Luke 4:1] until redemption was complete [Matthew 4:1; Acts 10:38]. He functioned by the Father’s blessedness and the Spirit’s empowerment, fulfilling every demand of redemption. 
    Believer’s Access: This same Spirit-led access is “God’s given access to all in redemption who are born of God in Christ Jesus” [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8]. It is not for a select few. 
  1. Old Testament vs New Testament Contrast
    Old Testament Creation: People were led by men under God — Prophets, Priests, Kings, Levites. They were “not born again, not circumcised in the heart” [Romans 2:28-29]. 
    Spirit’s Role Then: The Spirit came upon them for function — to carry out God’s intent for that dispensation — but did not live within them [John 7:39]. None were born of the Spirit in their spirit-being until Christ. 
    New Testament Reality: With redemption in Christ, the Spirit within comes into being for the believer’s blessedness. The Spirit is now revealed, not concealed, as the third person of the triune God [1 John 5:7]. This enables knowing, understanding, and experiencing God internally [John 3:1-15]. 
  1. Practical Implications for Believers
    Sonship & Purpose: Spirit-led living ensures sonship [Galatians 4:6-7; Romans 8:14-17] and empowers believers to access and fulfil purpose in Christ. 
    Warning Against Religious Go-Betweens: If believers are not Spirit-led, they become prey to “middlemen in religious cloaks” promoting religiosity, dogma, and bondage [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12]. Scripture warns of deceivers who pervert truth [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4]. 
    Wisdom from Above: Being led by the Holy Spirit gives “wisdom from above” — pure, peaceable, gentle, full of mercy [James 3:15, 17] — which keeps the believer “above only in Christ Jesus’ stead”. 
  1. Exhortation

The message closes as a prayerful charge: believers must “rise up now in Christ Jesus and thirst and hunger after the blessedness of being led by the Holy Spirit of promise” [Matthew 5:6; Luke 11:9-13]. Failure to do so leaves one open as prey to the enemy [1 Peter 5:8-9]. The call is to crave Spirit-dependence for power, witness [Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49], and victory. 

Summary in one sentence: 
God’s incorruptible, heavenly blessedness in Christ is accessed and expressed through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit within, which makes Spirit-led living the defining mark of New Covenant sonship, purpose, and protection against religious bondage.

The BLESSED written WORD 

By Leave a Comment

The BLESSED written WORD: Empowered by The EMPOWERING Holy Spirit of PROMISE!  

“BLESSED [EMPOWERED] is he that READETH, and they that HEAR the WORDS of this PROPHECY, and keep those things which are WRITTEN therein: for the time is at hand” Revelation 1:3/Emphasis Mine. 

The WORD of God is BLESSED and every written and spoken WORD is life and living [life-giving, life-saving, life-assuring, life-ensuring and more] – and can be reached, loved, lived, depended on and more importantly, God personified in Christ Jesus [John 6:63; Hebrews 4:12-13; John 1:1-5, 14]. However, for the purpose of context, you have to know that it is not God who is always speaking in the BLESSED written word of The Holy BIBLE [BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL]; but whatever was written in all is authentic and accurately recorded and documented by the empowering of the Holy Spirit upon and through them by which the BLESSED written WORD was assigned to be written – and it’ is irrespective of time, place, generation or dispensation in all matters of life and godly living. And it’s to give hope and assurance in the will and counsel of grace toward God in Christ Jesus. 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 1:29-21. 

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were WRITTEN for our learning, that we through PATIENCE and COMFORT of the SCRIPTURES might have hope. 5 Now the God of PATIENCE and CONSOLATION grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 15:4-6. 

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, KNOWING of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE to make thee WISE unto SALVATION through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 

And the Holy Writ of God is written by inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s enabling – which is only possible by the Holy Spirit of promise, who is of the triune [trinity] God, who oversees the written writ through time, place, generation and dispensation. [1 John 5:7; 2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:15-17]. And just as in creation, His [Holy Spirit] presence brought about the excellent, beautiful and wonderful creation that all mankind can today and always behold as they make a living worth with gratitude to creator even without knowing the fulness of how God’s wonderful work in creation came to be and for them to be able to comprehend it all in manifestation [Genesis 1:1-4; Revelation 4:11; Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11; Psalms 139:10-18]. 

“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/AMP. 

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are open and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/AMP. 

And the Holy writ is the only written document that addresses matters of the past, present and future among all written books in all humanity – and it is not subjected to time, place, generation or dispensation; and it is not and cannot be legislated in its dealings with all of mankind – irrespective; and the author of the Holy writ is the only and ever-present personality as author at the point of reading, to give you all the answers to context and purpose for what is written. And it’s profitable for all instruction, answering to the quests of all toward God and Christ Jesus for the human good and goodness. [Acts 20:20-21]. 

And those who spoke to the writing of the written word, were all inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thus indicating that the BLESSED word is an all-time empowering WORD because it was made possible by the empowering Holy Spirit. The BLESSED written WORD is a seed that answers all of humanity’s questions as one takes pleasure to be a DOER of the BLESSED WORD in order to be BLESSED indeed, rather than to be only a mere HEARER OF THE WORD.  

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and NOT HEARERS ONLY, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any BE A HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his deed” 1 James 1:22-25. 

Therefore, if you want to ensure, enact and authenticate the assured BLESSEDNESS of God by the BLESSED word of God in resolving past, present and future enquiry of doing life and living godly, your pure access is in your fellowship with the BLESSED [EMPOWERING] Holy Spirit that answers to all – irrespective [and without prejudice, sentiments or dissimulation] of God’s promises to you and me for all humanity. [Galatians 3:13-14]. 

It is dangerous and disastrous for any to access and bring out answers from the Holy Writ, in order to give a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling effect, without the presence of the author and interpreter and translator of His WORD while He is ever ready and available to honour it. That is why we are instructed to this day and always not to be deceived by any who refuse to be examined as whether their interpretation or translation of the Holy writ has the Holy Spirit’s bearing in order to safeguard against distortion, dilution and adulteration of such context in question. [1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Acts 17:10-12; Philippians 1:15-18]. 

It is my earnest PRAYER that you get engrossed with the written word by the Holy Spirit, the ever-present author of the written word, so that you receive the needed inspiration, revelation and empowerment to make you function and become of God in Christ Jesus. 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 1:29-21. 

“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:15-17. 

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” Romans 15:4. 

SUMMARY: 

This is a doctrinal exposition on the nature, authority, and operation of the Written Word of God through the Holy Spirit. The text is structured in 4 movements: 

  1. Authority and Nature of Scripture

Scripture is declared “The Empowered Word” — authoritative, living, and operative. It is described as: 

  • Living and active, sharper than a two-edged sword [Heb 4:12] 
  • God-breathed, profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction [2 Tim 3:16] 
  • Without error and without private interpretation [2 Pet 1:20-21] 

The Word is “without error and without private interpretation” [2 Pet 1:20-21]. The message emphasises that while not every verse is a direct quote of God speaking, every verse is God-breathed and without error because the Holy Spirit superintended (oversees) its writing [2 Pet 1:21]. It is timeless — transcending time, culture, and dispensation — and remains the only book that speaks authoritatively into past, present, and future [2 Tim 3:16]. 

  1. The Holy Spirit as Author and Operator

The Holy Spirit is “The Empowered One” behind Scripture. He is: 

Author – He inspired holy men to write [2 Pet 1:21] 

Interpreter – He alone explains what He inspired [1 Cor 2:13] 

Operator – He makes the Word alive and effective in the believer [Heb 4:12] 

The message warns that handling Scripture without the Holy Spirit leads to error, manipulation, and spiritual damage [2 Cor 3:6]. The “blessedness” of Scripture is accessed only through the Spirit’s illumination [John 6:63]. 

  1. Purpose and Application of the Word

The Word is functional, not just informational. Its purpose is:
Revelation – Makes God and His will known [John 17:17] 
Regeneration – Produces new birth and transformation [1 Pet 1:23] 
Instruction – Equips the believer for every good work [2 Tim 3:17]
Protection – Guards against error and deception [Eph 6:17] 

Believers are commanded to be “doers of the Word, not hearers only” [James 1:22]. The Word is described as seed [Luke 8:11] that produces blessedness when acted upon. Without application, knowledge puffs up [1 Cor 8:1]. 

  1. Access and Warning

Access to the power of Scripture is through intimacy with the Holy Spirit, not academic study alone [John 16:13]. The message gives a strong warning: manipulating Scripture for personal agendas is dangerous and will be judged [Rev 22:18-19]. It calls believers to “rightly divide” the Word [2 Tim 2:15] under the Spirit’s guidance, and to test every teaching against Scripture [Acts 17:11]. 

Closing Charge: 
The message ends with a benediction — a prayer that believers would be immersed in the Word by the Spirit until Christ is formed in them [Gal 4:19]. The Word is not just doctrine; it is Christ Himself revealed [John 1:1, 14]. 

Key Scriptures Used: Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, John 6:63, James 1:22, Acts 17:11.

THE PROMISED BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE PROMISED BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT’S ACCOMPANIED BY HIS POWER TO BRING ABOUT HIS REALITY IN YOU!  

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49. 

The BLESSEDNESS of God is about EMPOWERING in His will . . . For to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED – to succeed, to achieve, to become, to attain, to fulfil, to create, to initiate, to explore, and to be assured, to be purposeful, to be meaningful in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

And it’s by the Holy Spirit that the New Creation Believer is EMPOWERED to access the promised God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead . . . [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. 

  •  And God BLESSED them . . . Genesis 1:22, 28. 
  •  And God BLESSED Noah and sons . . . Genesis 9:1. 
  •  And the LORD had BLESSED Abraham in all things . . . Genesis 24:1, 35. 
  •  For the Lord thy God hath BLESSED thee in all the works of thy hand . . . Deuteronomy 2:7. 
  •  For the Lord thy God BLESSETH thee, as he promised thee . . . Deuteronomy 15:6. 
  •  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ . . . Ephesians 1:3. 
  •  And you ARE REDEEMED and BLESSED of God . . . Galatians 3:13-14 [6-9, 13-14, 26-29]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT: 

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49. 

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

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17. 

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19. Behold, I give unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who LOVE God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP. 

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/AMP. 

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

SUMMARY: 

The message is a biblical exposition on “The Promised Blessedness of God”, establishing that God’s blessing is not mere material favour, but divine EMPOWERMENT through His Spirit. It teaches that true blessedness is God’s ability to bring His reality to pass in the believer’s life — enabling success, purpose, and Christlike transformation. The Holy Spirit is presented as the agent through whom New Creation believers’ access and experience this promised blessedness in Christ Jesus. The message traces the consistent pattern of God’s blessing from Genesis to the New Testament to show that blessing has always been tied to empowerment, purpose, and covenant. 

 Key Points: 

  1. Central Thesis and Scriptural Anchor 
    The message opens with Luke 24:49: “…tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high.” The core claim is that the Promised Blessedness of God is inseparable from His POWER. God’s blessing is not passive; it is accompanied by divine ability to produce His reality in the believer’s life.
  2. Definition of Biblical Blessedness
    Blessedness is defined as EMPOWERMENT in God’s will. To be blessed is to be empowered by God to: succeed, achieve, become, attain, fulfill, create, initiate, explore, and live with assurance, purpose, and meaning. This empowerment operates in life and grace within God’s blessedness in Christ Jesus. The definition moves blessedness beyond comfort to capacity — God enabling the believer for purpose.
  3. The Role of the Holy Spirit
    The message emphasises that access to God’s promised blessedness comes by the Holy Spirit. The New Creation Believer is empowered by the Spirit to enter into what God has promised in Christ. Scriptures cited: Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8, Romans 1:16-17, Romans 8:28, 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. The Spirit is the one who reveals, enables, and brings God’s planned blessings into experience.
  4. Biblical Pattern of God’s Blessing
    To validate the message; it traces God’s blessing through Scripture: 
    Genesis 1:22, 28: God blessed creation with fruitfulness and dominion 
    Genesis 9:1: God blessed Noah and his sons after the flood 
    Genesis 24:1, 35: The LORD blessed Abraham in all things 
    Deuteronomy 2:7; 15:6: God blessed Israel in their work and as He promised 
    Ephesians 1:3: God has blessed New Testament believers with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ 
    Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29: Redemption through Christ makes believers heirs and partakers of Abraham’s blessing
  5. Pattern observed: God’s blessing consistently produces empowerment for purpose, increase, and covenant fulfillment.
  6. Power, Purpose, and Destiny
    Supporting Scriptures expand the meaning of blessedness: 
    Acts 1:8: Power received to be witnesses — blessedness produces mission 
    Romans 1:16-17: The gospel is God’s power for salvation and reveals His righteousness by faith 
    Luke 10:19: Believers are given power and authority over the enemy — blessedness includes protection 
    Romans 8:28 AMP: God causes all things to work together for good for those called according to His purpose — blessedness aligns with divine plan 
    Ephesians 1:11-12 AMP: Believers have received an inheritance and were predestined according to God’s purpose — blessedness is tied to destiny 
    1 Corinthians 2:9-10: God has prepared things for those who love Him and reveals them by His Spirit — blessedness includes access to divine revelation
  7. Practical Application
    The message implies that believers must: 
    Recognise that God’s blessing = empowerment, not just possession 
    Depend on the Holy Spirit to access and walk in promised blessedness 
    Align with God’s purpose so that “all things work together for good” 
    Live with assurance knowing their names are written in heaven, and their destiny is secured in Christ 

Conclusion: 
The message presents a balanced view of blessedness: it is God’s empowering presence through the Holy Spirit that enables the believer to succeed, become, and fulfill purpose in Christ. It is promised, covenant-based, and practical — not abstract. True blessedness is experiencing God’s reality and power at work in and through the believer’s life.

 THE MONTH OF ENACTING – “THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS!” 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved” Ephesians 1:3-6.  

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.  

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in JERUSALEM, and in all JUDÆA, and in SAMARIA, and unto the UTTERMOST part of the earth” Acts 1:8.  

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49. 

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you forever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17. 

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [EMPOWERING us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has appropriated us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a security deposit to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22/AMP.  

“Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, [as conformity to God’s will and purpose—so it is with you also]. 7 So understand that it is the people who live by faith [with confidence in the power and goodness of God] who are [the true] sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news [of the Savior] to Abraham in advance [with this promise], saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then those who are people of faith [whether Jew or Gentile] are blessed and favored by God [and declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with Him] along with Abraham, the believer . . . 13Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all receive [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith . . . 26 For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves with Christ [that is, you have taken on His characteristics and values]. 28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. 29 And if you belong to Christ [if you are in Him], then you are Abraham’s descendants, and [spiritual] heirs according to [God’s] promise” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP.  

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN DILIGENTLY UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF THOU SHALT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF THAT THOU HEARKEN UNTO THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them” Deuteronomy 28:1-14.  

“Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” Acts 20:34-35.  

“What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness . . . 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were . . . 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification” Romans 4:1-25.

 ENSURING “THE BLESSED LIFE” IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the Law and its CONDEMNATION by BECOMING a CURSE for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all RECEIVE [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP Classic Edition. 

JUNE, the sixth [6] month, marks the end of the first half of the calendar year in both Gregorian and Julian calendars. It’s also the 2nd of the 4th month with thirty [30] days in the twelve [12] months annual calendar. 

 JUNE is also a lovely given name to the female gender, carrying significance.  The name and month embody the essence of FULLNESS of life, and it’s of a profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality. Thus, it indicates how God wants us to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, and to live in His BLESSEDNESS while fulfilling His PURPOSE in us MEANINGFULLY, in all our life endeavours, as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the best place of having the FULNESS of Life and profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality is by engaging and following in obedience, God’s plan PATH for your life as in the holy writ of the scriptures. (Ephesians 2:10; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Philippians 2:1-18]. 

The BLESSED life in Christ Jesus is about GOD’S BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. And ENACTING the BLESSED life, is about ensuring, living and acting out in the fulness, the blessedness of God’s purpose in our life meaningfully and unreservedly.  

 Living the assured BLESSED life and BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus means living in God’s EMPOWERING realm, fulfilling His purpose in your life [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. The BLESSED life of God doesn’t operate in emptiness, vain imagination, or human strength, power and might [Zach 4:6; 1 Samuel 2:9; 2 Corinthians 3:1-6]; it operates and authenticates through God EMPOWERING us, via the Holy Spirit, who EMPOWERS us, SEALS us, ANOINTS us, GUARANTEES us and DWELLS within us as GIVEN of God the Father to us as by the redemption default in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Acts 1:8; Luke 24:59, Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22]. 

For to be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is to be EMPOWERED of God by the Holy Spirit to succeed, to achieve and to become; and more so, to be fulfilled productively, efficiently and effectively [effectually] in the ASSURED WORD of God. 

The BLESSEDNESS of God in character [Galatians 5:22-23], charisma [1 Corinthians 12:7-11] and ministry [1 Corinthians 12:28-31; Ephesians 4:7-16; Romans 12:3-8] is empowered, synergised and manifested by the Holy Spirit. It means God’s BLESSEDNESS in the New Creation Testament is made REALITY in us as we do life and live godly, by the Holy Spirit of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you enact THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, by the Holy Spirit of promise that makes all things possible by God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT’S THE GIVEN AND ENTRUSTED ENABLING OF GRACE – MADE AVAILABLE TO ENRICH YOU IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD! 

“THE BLESSING of the Lord BRINGS [TRUE] RICHES, and He ADDS NO SORROW to it [for it comes as a BLESSING from God]” Proverbs 10:22/Amplified. 

” . . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED US with every spiritual BLESSING in the heavenly PLACES in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-12/NKJV. 

It’s high time to HARNESS in grace by faith, your FAITH walk with God in Christ Jesus’ stead, to live unhindered in the ABOVE ONLY realms of doing life and living godly. The BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and is ENTRUSTED to all that are born of God in Christ Jesus’ stead; and it’s AVAILABLE to all to enact and authenticate with no personal or group limitations; it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) as it’s of our redemption deeds of rights and privileges in the Kingdom for the kingdom cause of our God. 

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is NOT one to SHOW partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35/Amplified. 

And our God of promise and provider is faithful, true, sure, trustworthy and committed to ensure your rights and privileges in Him are not denied by any factors, be it – human placement, geographical location, tongue, tribes and gender, etc. For His BLESSEDNESS is unto all who call upon His name and are always in the YES and AMEN, without a doubt and no to His WORD. 

“But as God is FAITHFUL, our word to you was not YES and NO. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was NOT YES and NO, but in Him was YES. 20 For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/NKJV. 

“FAITHFUL and absolutely TRUSTWORTHY is He who is CALLING you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified. 

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, EVEN AS MANY AS the Lord our God shall CALL” Acts 2:38-39. 

And the BLESSEDNESS of God is given and entrusted to all, and it’s available to you today for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus’ stead. And it’s for the following reasons but not limited for you to enact and authenticate in grace by faith. Here are some reasons for this given, entrusted and available BLESSEDNESS of God: 

  •  That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby giving God thanks in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9/(NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2]. 
  •  That the Gospel might advance in grace, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. [Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9]. 
  •  That you have plenty, enough, and leftovers to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding, or complaining. [Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38]. 
  •  To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes and sway people away from the FAITH. Especially in their seeking answers to basic necessities of life and more, they thereby fall prey of ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper and achieve the desired needs and greatness. [Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3]. 
  •  To help cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness and such like; POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality lead to stealing, robbery, bribery, etc. [Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34]. 
  •  To keep and ESTABLISH the righteous in DOMINION – as overcomers, victorious, triumphant and more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus’ stead. [Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12].  
  •  To establish, enact and authenticate His covenant as promised in Christ Jesus. [Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS be BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE THE PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23. 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“. . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his OWN will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12. 

“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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: YOU ARE FATHER ABRAHAM’S SEED 

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: YOU ARE FATHER ABRAHAM’S SEED – BE FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM! 

“And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:29. 

As I read, ponder and make up this write up, I recall countless times I have sang and still sing the song: “ABRAHAM BLESSINGS ARE MINE”. This I have done for over 45yrs plus and still counting. And then while working on the cause and course of this month theme, the Lord reminds me again of the Scripture of Galatians 3:6-9, 29 in a more ASSURED insight and foresight, as written: 

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 29 And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE“ Galatians 3:6-9, 29. 

How gracious and graceful for one to easily lay claim to be ABRAHAM’S seed and wants ABRAHAM’S Blessings; more so, to be God’s friend as ABRAHAM’S, as we do sing “I AM A FRIEND OF GOD”, even as the Scriptures indicate in James 2:23. Yeah, the Scriptures did say in Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29, that as many of us who ARE of FAITH in Christ Jesus ARE of ABRAHAM’S and can share in the Abrahamic BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This becomes possible because Abraham was ascribed as being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM; this is due to his obedience and humility in believing God’s word above anything else and being ASSURED of God’s FAITHFULNESS in His promise, to let go of himself and let God be, in all about him doing life and living godly to fulfill God’s divine PURPOSE meaningfully.  

Abraham was FAITHFUL toward God from the moment the GOSPEL as said in Galatians 3:8 was PREACHED to him; and I repeat, that the GOSPEL of God in FAITH was PREACHED to him, wherein he BELIEVED and acted upon accordingly, intentionally and unreservedly. He believed God, and in obedience through FAITH, he journeyed with God in FAITHFULNESS until death as in his memoir in the Holy writ of Genesis 12-25 and Hebrews 11:8-12, 17-19. And all who came afterwards in FAITH have shared in the BLESSEDNESS of him, in God, in that he was FAITHFUL towards God as ascribed of him – FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. 

Let us see some FAITHFUL characteristics of FAITHFUL ABRAHAM that we can learn of him and can use as a measure to ascertain in SHARING in his GOSPEL enabling for us today: 

  1. He was FAITHFUL to OBEY when he received the call of God without conferring with flesh and blood. He left all, his people inclusive, to cleave to God in faith. How I wish we can learn of him, on how to LEAVE and CLEAVE to a CAUSE – PURPOSE. Genesis 12; Galatians 1:12-17; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5 (Make 10:7). 
  2. He was FAITHFUL to depend on God’s provisions when tried and tested by his nephew – Lot – who was in his greediness on business deals and acquisitions with him. He turned his face to God, instead of having a fight on Earthly possessions that takes people lives instead of offering life. Genesis 13; Luke 12:15; Mark 10:28-3; Philippians 4:13, 19; 2 Corinthians 9:8; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.
  3. He was FAITHFUL to pay up in FAITH at no pressure or dispute, the TITHE of his earnings – Genesis 14; Hebrews 7:1-9; Hebrews 3:1-2; Matthew 23:23; Matthew 22:15-22; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Luke 6:38; Luke 8:1-3; Acts 20:32-35; (Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 26:1-19; Leviticus 27:30-33). 
  4. He was FAITHFUL toward God in Covenant in FAITH, being assured that God will do the needful – Genesis 15-17; Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:14-15; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.
  5. He was FAITHFUL to receive and entertained Angelic visitors unaware and at no question or cost. Genesis 18; Hebrews 13:1-3; Romans 12:9-21.
  6. He was FAITHFUL to intercede in prayers for His family and Nation in crises and awaiting God’s judgement, peradventure God might show mercy – Genesis 18/19; Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30; Romans 8:26:26-27; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25.
  7. He was such FAITHFUL to let GO of his wife when challenged, in order to fulfil PURPOSE in God; and God foreseeing his sincerity saved him and wife from such challenging test of his marital relationship. Genesis 20; Mark 10:28-31; Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30.
  8. He was FAITHFUL in the midst of the CONFUSION he found himself by the errors and failures he made in course of time in his decision. And God was there to turn his MESS into a MESSAGE because he was troubled and repentant. Genesis 21; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; Galatians 1:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 John 1:9-10.
  9. He was FAITHFUL to let Go of his precious and most treasured gift – his son Isaac to God, at God’s request and demand, without questioning and arguing with God of His intent. – Genesis 22; Hebrews 11:17-19.
  10. He was FAITHFUL even at his loss of his dear wife and in bereavement. And turn his lost for legacy, in that by her burying place, he then set up a foundation stone (the land of Canaan) that earmarked that which was to be FULFILLED for posterity in God’s Prophecy in MOSES and the Israelites in years to come. Genesis 23; (Galatians 3:17-18; Genesis 15:12-14); 2 Corinthians 1:3-11; John 11:1-45; Romans 12:15; James 5:13.
  11. He was FAITHFUL in that he was able to create the needed atmosphere that his son Isaac could get married faithfully. Genesis 24; 1 Timothy 4:12; Titus 2:1-8; Ephesians 6:1-4; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12.
  12. He was FAITHFUL to leave an inheritance for his Children as he died in FAITH, fulfiling PURPOSE in FAITHFULNESS. Genesis 25; Proverbs 13:22. 

Abraham have FAITH in God’s FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL; that’s why he was prepared from the moment of receiving the GOSPEL of FAITH, to LET GO of himself of anything, counting and accounting that God will take CARE of him no matter what may happen; thus indicating that whatsoever he let go at God’s request, God knows best as He’s a FAITHFUL God to make it up for him in a far better placement than the one he could have held unto and held back with; and in selfishness and in not Believing and Trusting that GOD IS FAITHFUL to keep to His PROMISE.  

Today, we as Abraham seed, who are partakers of his enabling in Christ Jesus, how much can it be said, that we are as him, in being called FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. Let us not be the Believers in Christ Jesus stead, who wants the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham but are not PREPARED of the PROCESS in it; especially when that is the part that can fortify and make us grounded and rooted in FAITH and in the FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead, as we share in his blessing. 

ABRAHAM was called a friend of God – James 2:23, because of the attribute of being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. May we be as he was toward God in Christ Jesus stead I pray for now and always. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, ye that seek the Lord: LOOK UNTO THE ROCK whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER, and unto SARAH THAT BARE YOU: for I CALLED him alone, and BLESSED him, and INCREASED him. 3 For the Lord shall COMFORT Zion: he will COMFORT all her waste places; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody” Isaiah 51:1-3. 

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“By FAITH Abraham, when he was CALLED to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, NOT KNOWING whither he went. 9 By FAITH he sojourned in THE LAND OF PROMISE, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through FAITH also Sara herself RECEIVED STRENGTH TO CONCEIVE SEED and was DELIVERED of a child when she was past age, because she judged him FAITHFUL who had promised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable . . . 17 By FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, OFFERED up Isaac: and he that had RECEIVED the promises OFFERED up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 ACCOUNTING that God was ABLE to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he RECEIVED him in a FIGURE” Hebrews 11:8-19. 

“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” James 2:20-24. 

“As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the dead, and CALLETH those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against HOPE believed in HOPE, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”: THE ENABLING POWER OF GOD TO ACCESS AND FULFILL PURPOSE IN CHRIST JESUS!

“. . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God . . .” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17.

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1.

Until redemption in Christ Jesus, the OLD TESTAMENT CREATION people were LED by mere men [people] who serves under God as Prophet, Priest, Kings and Levites, and who were not born again [circumcised in the hearts] otherwise born of God with the Holy Spirit living within them [Romans 2:28-29; Philippians 3:3; John 14:16-27; Romans 5:5]. All of them from the Old Testament till the Gospel, none was born of the Spirit in their spirit-being, in order for them to know, understand and experience God within for themselves [John 3:1-15]. Those in use to accomplish divine purpose in the Old Creation Testament, received the Blessed [empowering] Spirit of God’s BLESSEDNESS UPON them firstly [without living WITHIN them], but ONLY for them to function and carry out the intent [plan, purpose and pursuit] of God as they were instructed in all generation and dispensation until Christ Jesus, that’s when the Spirit WITHIN comes into being for our BLESSEDNESS within. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the divine trinity was concealed [not revealed in person except in function] to those in used in the Old Creation Testament.

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

And God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace in muchly as real  as when it’s being by the spiritual empowering – of the Holy Spirit, who is enabling of God, and the ensuring factor that brings God’s promises to physical reality [tangibility] in various formats to all in humanity; unfortunately, most people thinks that God’s BLESSEDNESS  [BLESSINGS] are of the physical [tangible] things they see, feel/touch, smell, hear and taste; which unfortunately, it’s not, otherwise it will rot, rust, corrupt, decay, degrade, depreciate and such like, in all things happening under the Sun. And it’s heavenly secured in God’s hands of righteousness, where Christ is seated and we in grace ARE positioned and sitted at the right hands of the Father God, and it’s with no earthly corruptions, counterfeits, distortion and adulteration to undermine its priceless worth in the grace.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT together in HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES break through and STEAL: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither MOTH nor RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES do not BREAK through nor STEAL: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART [SPIRIT-BEING] be also” Matthew 6:19-21.

For God’s enabled BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] it’s not accompanied with sorrow and such like, but it enriches to all things; and it’s not limited to any to monopolised as it’s irrespective [gender, race, colour, tongue, status, class, geographical location etc], and it’s not governed by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH UNTO ALL that call upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

In same scenario, to BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT [HOLY SPIRIT] is another act of the BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] of God in Christ Jesus. That you live and do life in grace by the leading [being led] of God in every of your life decisions, it’s an awesome, gracious and graceful realm to enjoy of God in order to fulfil purpose in your redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord in humanity, knows the virtue of BEING LED of the Spirit, from the onset of His humanity and Ministry until His end of time in our redemption. He knows it takes the Father God BLESSEDNESS to function within His perspectives. And because He was BEING LED of the Holy Spirit, He was able to fulfill the demands of Father God for human redemption with no stone left unturned in His humanity [Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1/Luke 4:1-22; Acts 10:38].

The Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus, can also enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BEING LED of the Holy Spirit. It’s God’s given access to ALL in Redemption that are born of God in Christ Jesus [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8]. That’s what ensures SONSHIP in God in Christ Jesus. [Galatians 4:6-7; Romans 8:14 (8-11, 14-17, 26-40); Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13]. And every believer should crave to ensure that they are BEING LED of God, otherwise satan and cohorts will set up middle men in religious cloaks and will act religiously as your go-between to God which is unscriptural toward religiosity, dogma, bondage and such like [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12]. There are many out there for deception and to pervert and to deceive others of the truth [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18] and BEING LED of the Holy Spirit BLESSEDNESS gives the wisdom from above, to be above only in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 3:15 (13-18)].

I PRAY that you will rise up now in Christ Jesus and thirst and hunger after the BLESSEDNESS of BEING LED by the Holy Spirit of promise – who is the Holy Spirit of the triune [trinity] God [1 John 5:7]. If you act otherwise, it then means you’ve set yourself readily ready to fall prey and victim before the enemy and cohorts of your faith in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Peter 5:8-9; James 3:13-18].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT:

“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.

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . . 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all . . .  18 The Spirit of the Lord is UPON me, because he hath ANOINTED me to PREACH the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:1-22.

“How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him” Acts 10:38/AMP Classic Edition.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17.

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

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

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“. . . 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13.

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:13-18.

The BLESSED written WORD: Empowered by The EMPOWERING Holy  Spirit of PROMISE!

“BLESSED [EMPOWERED] is he that READETH, and they that HEAR the WORDS of this PROPHECY, and keep those things which are WRITTEN therein: for the time is at hand” Revelation 1:3/Emphasis Mine.

The WORD of God is BLESSED and every of the written and spoken WORD is life and living [life-giving, life-saving, life-assuring, life-ensuring and more] – and can be reachable, loveable, liveable, dependable and more importantly, God personified in Christ Jesus [John 6:63; Hebrews 4:12-13; John 1:1-5, 14]. However, for the purpose of context, you have to know that it’s not God that’s all speaking in the BLESSED written word of – The Holy BIBLE [BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL]; but whatever was written in all, are authentic and accurately recorded and documented by the empowering of the Holy Spirit upon and through them by which the BLESSED written WORD was assigned to have it written – and it’s irrespective of the time, place, generation and dispensation in all matters of life and godly living. And it’s to give hope and assurance in the will and counsel of grace toward God in Christ Jesus. 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 1:29-21.

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were WRITTEN for our learning, that we through PATIENCE and COMFORT of the SCRIPTURES might have hope. 5 Now the God of PATIENCE and CONSOLATION grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 15:4-6.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, KNOWING of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE to make thee WISE unto SALVATION through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

And the Holy Writ of God are written by inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s enabling – and which only possible by the Holy Spirit of promise, who is of the triune [trinity] God, who oversee the written writ through time, place, generation and dispensation. [1 John 5:7; 2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:15-17]. And just as in creation, His [Holy Spirit] presence, brought about the excellent, beautiful and wonderful creation that all mankind can today and always behold  as they make a living worth with gratitude to creation even without knowing the fulness on how God’s wonderful work in creation came to be and for them to be able to comprehend it all in manifestation [Genesis 1:1-4; Revelation 4:11; Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11; Psalms 139:10-18].

“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/AMP.

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are open and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/AMP.

And the Holy writ, is the only written document that addresses matters of the present, past and future among all written books in all humanity – and it’s not subjected to time, place, generation and dispensation; and it’s not and cannot be legislated in it’s dealings with all of mankind – irrespective; and the author of the Holy writ is the only and ever present personality as an author at the point of read, to give you all the answers to context and purpose for what’s written about. And it’s profitable in all instruction, answering to the quests of all toward God and Christ Jesus for the human good and goodness. [Acts 20:20-21].

And those who spoke to the writing of the written word, where all inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thus, indicating that the BLESSED word is an all-time empowering WORD because it was made possible by the empowering Holy Spirit. The BLESSED written WORD is a seed that answers to all of human question as one take pleasure to be a DOER of the BLESSED WORD in order to be BLESSED indeed rather than to be only a mere HEARER OF THE WORD.

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and NOT HEARERS ONLY, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any BE A HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his deed” 1 James 1:22-25.

Therefore, if you want to ensure, enact and authenticate the assured BLESSEDNESS of God by the BLESSED word of God in resolving past, present and future enquiry of doing life and living godly, your pure access it’s in your fellowship with the BLESSED [EMPOWERING] Holy Spirit that answers to all – irrespective [and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation] on God’s promises to you and I for all humanity. [Galatians 3:13-14].

It’s dangerous and disastrous for any to access and bring out answers of the Holy Writ, in order to give a purposeful and meaningful and fulfilling effect, without the presence of the author and interpreter and translator of His WORD while He’s ever ready and available to honour it. That’s why we are instructed to this day and always not to be deceived by any who refuses to be examined if their interpretation or translation of the Holy writ has the Holy Spirit bearing in order to safeguard distortion, dilution and adulteration of such context in question. [1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Acts 17:10-12; Philippians 1:15-18].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you get engrossed with the written word by the Holy Spirit, the ever present author of the written word, so that you get the needed inspiration, revelation and empowerment to make you function and become of God in Christ Jesus. 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 1:29-21.

“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:15-17.

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” Romans 15:4.
