YOU ARE BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS TO THRIVE

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS TO THRIVE: YOU ARE NOT TO SURVIVE AND YOU ARE NOT A SURVIVAL!

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

It’s time to live and speak well of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus stead and not what life circumstances and situations wants you to be and or be defined by and classed, when you know it contradicts who and what you are and have become in the New Creation Testament of God’s BLESSEDNESS.

“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, 4 just as He CHOSE us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having PREDESTINED us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will” Ephesians 1:3-5.

Therefore, don’t just EXIST – LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING – LIVE it then – make it HAPPEN – make each day count and account for your good and goodness, according to God’s word, by God’s divine power, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4/NKJV.

And know for SURE today, that living is about the bonding and abiding within us, of these elements of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus:

  • HOPE
  • FAITH
  • LOVE

“And now abide FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:13.

“Remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father” 1 Thessalonians 1:3.

And in Christ Jesus, it is in our applying these elements in the principles of the context, as we do life and live godly in God’s graciousness and gracefulness, that we THRIVE and BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVOR by any means in the world.

  • By been PATIENT in whatever you are so keen to pursue and achieve in HOPE.
  • By endeavouring to live through LOVE in all you set to LABOUR to achieve.
  • And by ensuring FAITH as a living currency in your process of WORK to achieve that desired intent.

Our God in redemption has not only delivered us and translated us [Colossians 1:13-14] in Christ Jesus but have promised to DELIVER us daily from the evil that’s in this our present world. The evil and wickedness of all sorts that creates the effects that had made some to be under the shadows of the survival of the fittest as the saying goes. God knows that His WILL in His WORD, can cause us to access His promises for our inheritance, that’s available and set ready for all whom He had SANCTIFIED – set apart, in redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

I urge you in Christ Jesus, to always MEASURE your living WORTH by the ingredients of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE even as in God’s word. I PRAY that our God of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE, may abound with you more and more in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Have a BLESSED day as you THRIVE in grace by the word, and NEVER on the badge of a survival or surviving while in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the worlds were FRAMED by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:1-3.

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

“Now the God of hope FILL you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may ABOUND IN HOPE, through the POWER of the Holy Ghost” Romans 15:13.

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

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD: FOR IN YOUR DARK AND DARKNESS – THERE IS GOD’S GLORY AND BEAUTY!
 
“Therefore we do not become DISCOURAGED [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER self is being [progressively] RENEWED day by day. 17 For our MOMENTARY, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Amplified.
 
I know what tears and pain and disappointments feels and looks like. I know what setbacks with hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness looks like. I know how it feels that there should be no tomorrow. I know how it feels to wish the morning was night and the night was day; and when the day and night seems so long and you wish you could BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AS AN OSTRICH INSTEAD OF SOARING AS AN EAGLE; and when the darkness seems so dark that nothing in life matters any more and all you think about is to stop living because you are overwhelmed with matters of life. I know how it looks when all one can see it’s danger and such like, and nothing meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling any more. I have seen it in many forms to know it’s only by God and through God in Christ Jesus stead to come through under the Sun in humanity.
 
“In the beginning God CREATED the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without FORM, and VOID; and DARKNESS was UPON the FACE of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT. 4 And God SAW the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called THE LIGHT Day, and THE DARKNESS He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day” Genesis 1:1-5.
 
And I have come a long way and grown to know that God does not shine light upon darkness but causes light to shine OUT of darkness for His glory and our BLESSEDNESS. As He He spoke out of the void and formless earth that light should come forth out of the darkness that was overpowering the earth, and there was and is light. The light becomes the order for the day [morning and evening] and the dark and darkness becomes the order for the night. That’s what created God can do in the midst of anything that’s overwhelming us in life and grace.
 
“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, TO GIVE THE LIGHT of the knowledge of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.
 
And I want you to know what else that I know – God does bring forth LIGHT OUT OF EVERY DARK and DARKNESS that shows up in our day to day challenges. The dark and darkness that shows up momentarily or as long standing obstacles in metaphorical form as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Am very certain and assured that God will not OVERSHADOWED that your darkness with light to keep you in circus but will BRING FORTH LIGHT OUT of that seemly impossible DARK PLACE and the DARKNESS with the needed and needful graciousnesss and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS.
 
For God intent is to see you glow, rejuvenate, refresh and blossom out of “THAT” dark and darkness you are dealing with right now. I know it without a shadow of a doubt because each rivers of challenges that I have seen and walk and gone through have made me BETTER than BITTER because I know the essence of light OUT of darkness in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.
 
“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT of dawn, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18 Amplified.
 
Therefore be at peace with yourself today, for the DAYSTAR in you, which is Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord for today, tomorrow and always, will shine again in you and through you, and many in darkness will come to your light in Him to share in your joy and testimony of grace. For darkness can’t overshadowed light. Light will always be superior to any darkness. The darker the case, the more the glow in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Stop CRYING as one without hope in God; for in that your DARKNESS – therein is God’s GLORY and BEAUTY of you in Christ Jesus. I pray that you will take on a new look and leap of faith in life, that your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus can’t be stop by any level of darkness no matter the momentary lapses and delays in the now.
 
HAVE FAITH IN GOD – and be BLESSED in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD – THERE WOULD BE JOY IN THE CITY OF YOUR BEING!
 
“. . .4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . .” Acts 8:1-20.
 
Don’t be Mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – It’s the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST for – yesterday, today and tomorrow.
 
“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.
 
We live today in the times of divergence of pendamic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, wars, sanctions, oppressions, hatred and poverty in our worlds, while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE – for all hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances.
 
The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse or accuse or transfer aggressions to others. And some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have holds over them in their vulnerability.
 
And what people needs today in the midst of the situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, family and communities; and much more the HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can well out of their darkness as fountains with peace, worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. Hence a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, is of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all.
 
And a person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of one’s and or people challenges and circumstances in order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times.
 
In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City.
 
I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH CHRIST, PREACH THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.
I am been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.
 
PREACH CHRIST – PREACH THE WORD – FOR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE – IS THE POWER, ANSWER AND ANTIDOTE TO THE QUEST, IN ALL HUMAN NEEDS.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY. . . “ Acts 8:1-20.

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

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE – THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE. 29 For whom He did FOREKNOW, He also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also CALLED: and whom He called, them He also JUSTIFIED: and whom He justified, them He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

Everyone wants the best of God in all they do and wants to do in life and godly living; but not everyone wants to be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH STAND IN THE GRACE as expected of all who WANTS the best out of God and to be FULFILLED in all about life and living godly. This I have known and have come to realised in course of time, in dealing with many in the cause of personalised FAITH-BASED and GODLY-INSPIRED COUNSELING SURGERY sections that happens now and always on a day-by-day basis. Some don’t want to share and partake in the PRINCIPLE of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled purpose in God, in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all which can’t happen, no matter the religion and sacrificial activities one thus engaged to make up. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the main switchboard act of faithfulness to the cause to advance God’s Kingdom and to keep the enemy at bay.

“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3-6.

It was in OBEDIENCE that our Saviour and Lord keyed into, while in humanity, to become the author of eternal salvation toward all who  intend in God to experience same like FULFILMENT, in FAITHFULNESS and all GOODNESS to DIVINELY driven PURPOSE as it’s written concerning our Lord Jesus Christ:

“. . . 7 Who in THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 THOUGH HE WERE A SON, YET LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED; 9 and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec”  Hebrews 5:1-10.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

I learnt very early in my Christian life that REBELLION to the CAUSE of God is as equivalent to the sinful consequences apportion to one entangled with WITCHCRAFT and even STUBBORNNESS. There’s no place with God for those who thrive in disobedient to the cause of God. And all who knows the truth and manipulates it for their unrighteous causes to  distort, adulterate and pervert the cause of advancing the TRUTH of the Kingdom of God from sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation  and to also keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in OBEYING the voice of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY is better than sacrifice SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is as the sin of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I FEARED the people, and OBEYED their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who KNOWING the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have PLEASURE in them that do them” Romans 1:18, 32.

This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship to RULE and to REIGN in the given opportunity in the grace. And some Believer’s have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship to reign and rule in civility in the grace and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION in godliness in the grace. While some claim to acknowledge it, yet in OBEDIENCE to the scriptural demands to enable them TRIUMPH and be VICTORIOUS in life and godliness, are always find wanting, by their impatience as found in King Saul to act without minding that the consequences therein are sometimes fatal and irreversible.

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

“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.c

“Ye also, as lively stones,Xxxx are built up a spiritual house, an HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . .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 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, and the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, is working tirelessly and timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. [1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11]. He knows he has a short time to parade around, and needs to recruit many to be a part of his fallen state destination. And one great old tricks attributes he has and have always use and succeed, is to make people disobey the CAUSE of God in their life’s. He tried it with Adam through Eve in Eden and it works. Over the years he has fought heard to ensure many fall shorts of obeying God’s heavenly mandate upon their life’s. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN.

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not carnal [fleshy, man-made], but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the KNOWLEDGE of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Emphasis Mine.

When one turns into using physical process in a set spiritual warfare, you give the ENEMY and COHORTS of your FAITH journey with God, the permission to obstruct your path of OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE. Fighting spiritual warfare in the flesh – in the sense instincts of – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching/feeling and tasting, will always allude one from the VICTORY and TRIUMPH earnestly designed of God for His people in everyway and places. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:3-5; Isaiah 54:13-17].

It is in OBEDIENCE that we find PLEASURE and fulfilment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we ARE made to INHERIT of God. One key principle of OBEDIENCE, is the attitudes of having PATIENCE OF HOPE – [1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 6:12]. When our FAITH is in obedience motion, to God’s heavenly mandate, we need to set PATIENCE with HOPE in the CAUSE of doing life and living godly; otherwise, we will end up like King Saul, for his impatience to wait for Prophet Samuel arrival to carry on the expected according to God’s detailed instructions. When we are in HASTE to become in life, against God’s time scale as King Saul was, we are bound to undermine our DIVINELY giving instructions to go and satisfy then the FLESHLY-RULED and BODILY-RULED demand, which works against God’s given instructions. And that’s the danger of many today. Attributing GAIN as GODLINESS. What a wrong concept to MEASURE and LEGISLATE SPIRITUALITY in heavenly mandate of God by GAINS instead of being faithful to fulfil PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. [Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1 Timothy 6:3-6].

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN ONLY YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE in God’s enabling grace in the faith. For then you can take the VICTORY and TRIUMPH stand, by OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, as obey you Him worthily and serve Him acceptably in the grace, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 4-6.

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

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH: THE FAITH THAT WORKS – IS BY ACTING CORRESPONDINGLY ON YOUR BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD!

Faith in the WORD or the saying of God makes all the difference. FAITH is acting correspondingly on your BELIEVE on and in the WORD – the sayings of God. FAITH is not BELIEVE and there’s no FAITH at work until you ACT on that which you BELIEVE of God. Meaning NO ACTING ON THE WORD, NO FAITH, hence NO RESULTS!

Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from the father God, any other process or means is illegal, counterfeit and criminal. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE or CREED or DOGMAS or PHILOSOPHY or TRADITION or CULTURE. It’s not an assumption or presumption, it’s the ACTING on trust, on God’s Word or sayings without an iota of doubts and disbelief.

If you BELIEVE and don’t ACT on it, you’ve not endorsed FAITH. If you confess or declare as religion enjoins us and you don’t act accordingly, there’s no faith and you receive not from God. You may receive from men, but not from God.

The FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope as it’s written: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

Also, the FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope through love as it’s written:  “. . . But faith which works by love” Galatians 5:6.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“But without FAITH (acting on what you believe of God’s WORD) it is impossible to please (receive answers from) Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 (Emphasis mine).

THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS: ENSURING AND ASSURING – GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS!

There’s every cause to always GIVE THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERING towards the graciousness and gracefulness of the bestowed – endowment and enduement – of the three essential acts that keeps us and others afloat and in leverage, in our services to advance the kingdom cause of our God, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead.

And these BESTOWED graciousnesss and gracefulness essential acts are:

* The WORK of FAITH

* The LABOUR of LOVE

* The PATIENCE of HOPE

It’s worth pondering about these essential acts, as a measure to yourself in the light of the scriptures, to indicate if you are indeed standing assured on the graciousnesss and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus, in your kingdom services, as they are the essential acts of your determination – and worth giving thanks, prayers and remembering in the journey of grace.

This thus means that,  you should let your WORK be governed by FAITH, your LABOUR be governed by LOVE and your PATIENCE be governed by HOPE; otherwise, you may get weary, be burnt out and probably give up, along the way of your Kingdom services, by the challenges and sometimes enormous tasks that may betides you therein.

And if you’ve misfired without measures before now or otherwise, it’s time to awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its called day, to fulfil purpose as assigned in the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the essential acts of measure of your Kingdom services. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord as you take a step toward an onward and upward trajectory of the work of faith, labour of love and patience of hope respectively.

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation . . .” Hebrews 3:7-19.
