BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE NEED TO TREASURE IT! 

“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 BE ALSO” Matthew 6:19-21 (Luke 12:32-34). 

I grew up knowing that one will always dignify, preserve, defend and protect what one truly and earnestly treasures in life and grace. 

And in the same essence I can say that: 
THERE IS THE NEED TO TREASURE YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH. 
AND THE ESSENCE OF BUILDING IT UP IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD IS GRACIOUSNESS, GRACEFULNESS AND BLESSEDNESS. 

And if I may ask you today — How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? 

For I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters such as — friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of silver, gold, diamond and the like. And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURE is respected, preserved and kept away from rot and corruption; and will the more ensure that the enemy and cohorts to their TREASURED substances, are kept at bay — I mean far away from their treasured acquisition and substances. 

However, we live in times when scandals loom everywhere. And unfortunately in the Christian FAITH, some, as ESAU of the Old Testament, have already SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE, thereby losing his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING accompanying it — Hebrews 12:15-17; Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. 

And in some cases, the defrauding of their PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is enormous indeed. Some have been betrayed, blackmailed, and some have been killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get to the acquisition they want in the high places of doing life and living godly. And all these, and more, are done to attain status and statesmanship without considering the effect on one’s cherished PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH. 

It’s very sad today. Some will mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus in their desperation to keep status. Others will acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus has not been built up to handle, just to show off, keep pace, or impress their bank balance — and afterwards, REGRET privately and or secretly. 

Let us not forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus shall live by HIS OWN FAITH, in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that life in Christ Jesus is lived by the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD, and not by the SENSES — hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling — of human fleshly desires and instincts. Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7 

And if I may ask again — How VALUABLE and WORTHY is your PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you placed on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY to you? 

Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it is not of God, and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18 

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. And to ensure your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is preserved and protected, you MUST not go to any length, for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING living or non-living. 

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH alive — ablaze and aflame — through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what comes your way in this life journey. 

The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should embolden you all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires of the world. 1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17 

It’s time to take away the VILE from your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH to be used to advance His kingdom cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. Jeremiah 15:19; 2 Timothy 2:20-21 

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit — THE HOLY GHOST — through THE WORD of God. Seek necessary counsel for help where you need to, and save your life from rot and thieves that are parading in hearts and thoughts and in life. 

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“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 Peter 1:1. 

“But ye, beloved, BUILDING up yourselves on your most HOLY FAITH, praying IN THE HOLY GHOST” Jude 1:20. 

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the COMMON SALVATION, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4. 

“PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18. 

“Ye also, as LIVELY stones, ARE built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 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. 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: 

in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT hand there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that NAMETH the name of Christ depart from INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET (QUALIFIED) for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine). 

SUMMARY: 
The message is AN EXHORTATION TO TREASURE, PROTECT AND BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH 

It teaches that your faith in Christ is your greatest treasure — more valuable than earthly possessions. Just as we guard what we value, we must DIGNIFY, PRESERVE and BUILD UP our faith with grace, or risk selling it for temporary things like Esau. Faith must be kept alive, pure and ablaze through the Word and praying in the Spirit. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. TREASURE WHAT IS ETERNAL, NOT TEMPORAL
    Lay up treasures in heaven, not on earth where moth and rust corrupt. Matthew 6:19-21
    WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO. 
    Your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is your heaven-treasure. It must be dignified and guarded. 
     
  2. YOUR FAITH IS PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY
    We have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:1
    People naturally PRESERVE what they treasure — marriage, career, gold, silver. Much more, we must contend earnestly for our faith. Jude 1:3 
     
  3. THE DANGER OF SELLING YOUR FAITH
    In these times of scandal, some have SOLD their FAITH like ESAU for a piece of PORRIDGE and lost their BIRTHRIGHT and blessing. Hebrews 12:15-17
    Others mortgage their faith for status or acquire things their faith is not built to handle, and end in REGRET. Defrauding of faith happens through greed, covetousness, betrayal and compromise. 
     
  4. HOW FAITH IS BUILT AND PRESERVED
    The JUSTIFIED shall live by FAITH — not by human SENSES or fleshly desires. Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7
    BUILDING UP YOURSELF on your most HOLY FAITH by PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST. Jude 1:20 
    TAKE FORTH THE PRECIOUS FROM THE VILE to be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH. Purge yourself to be a VESSEL UNTO HONOUR. Jeremiah 15:19; 2 Timothy 2:19-21 
    Keep your faith ABLAZE and AFLAME by the WORD and the Spirit. Ephesians 6:18 
     
  5. YOUR IDENTITY IN FAITH
    You are LIVELY STONES, built up a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a HOLY priesthood.
    You are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, a PECULIAR people called out of darkness into His marvellous light. 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10 
    The PATH of the righteous shines brighter and brighter. Proverbs 4:18 
    In God’s PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy. Psalms 16:11 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. ASSIGN VALUE TO YOUR FAITH
    Ask yourself: How PRECIOUS is my FAITH? How much PRICE have I placed on it?
    Stop treating your faith as common. DIGNIFY IT. DEFEND IT. PRESERVE IT. 
  2. BUILD UP YOUR FAITH DAILY
    BUILD YOURSELF UP on your most HOLY FAITH.
    PRAY IN THE SPIRIT through THE WORD of God. This is how faith stays alive and strong. Jude 1:20 
  3. PURGE THE VILE
    Take away anything that stains or weakens your faith — compromise, wrong associations, fleshly desires.
    Do not go to any length to make your faith of NO EFFECT. Keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. 
  4. CONTEND EARNESTLY
    EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH once delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3
    Seek godly counsel when you are struggling. Do not let rot and thieves steal your treasure.

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH: THE ESSENCE OF PRESERVING, BUILDING UP AND ENSURING OUR PRECIOUS FAITH! 

“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 Peter 1:1. 

HOW PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? 

I do know that people will love to PRESERVE, TREASURE and ENSURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what — especially in life matters such as friendship, marriage, family, career, and precious stones of silver, gold, diamond and such like. 

And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURE is respected, dignified, preserved and kept away from rot and corruption; and they will do more to ensure that the enemy and his cohorts with intent against their TREASURE are kept at bay from their treasures. 

However, we live in times when scandals loom everywhere — and unfortunately, even in the Christian FAITH. 
And some, like ESAU of the Old Testament, have already, if not now, SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE, thereby losing his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING, as written in the Holy Writ — Hebrews 12:15-17; Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. 

In some other cases, the fraud is enormous. People have been betrayed, blackmailed and some killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get at what they want, even in high places of trust. 

Unfortunately today, some will want to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus in their desperation for anything to help them keep and stay in their STATUS QUO, irrespective of the circumstances. 
Others will want to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ cannot handle, just to show off, keep pace, and impress their bank balance — and afterwards, REGRET. 

“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. 

Let us not forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. 

And that the life in Christ Jesus is lived by love through the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD, and not by the SENSES of human fleshy desires and instincts — Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 5:6. 

And if I may ask again — HOW VALUABLE AND WORTHY is your precious FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? 
What PRICE and PRIZE have you placed on your FAITH? 
Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS to you? 

Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it is not of God, and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS FAITH in God in Christ Jesus’ stead — Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18. 

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is of such PRECIOUS WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 
And to ensure your precious FAITH, you MUST NOT go to any length for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of anything that is living or non-living. 

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS FAITH alive — ablaze and aflame — through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what comes your way in this life journey. 

The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should embolden you all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world — 1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17. 

It is time to take the PRECIOUS FAITH from the VILE if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH in use to advance His cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay — Jeremiah 15:19; 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD and ENSURE your PRECIOUS FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit — THE HOLY GHOST — through THE WORD of God. 
Seek necessary counsel for help where you need it, and save your day all the way. 

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS FAITH, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18. 

“Ye also, as LIVELY stones, ARE built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 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.

“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 day” Proverbs 4:18 AMPLIFIED. 

“Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou TAKE FORTH THE PRECIOUS FROM THE VILE, THOU SHALT BE AS MY MOUTH: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” Jeremiah 15:19. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that NAMETH the name of Christ depart from INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET (QUALIFIED) for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine). 

SUMMARY 
The message is a solemn charge and call to PRESERVE, BUILD UP AND ENSURE OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS above every other thing in life. 

It contrasts how diligently people guard earthly treasures — marriage, career, silver, gold — with how carelessly some handle their FAITH. It warns against selling our FAITH for temporary gains like ESAU who sold his BIRTHRIGHT for PORRIDGE, and it anchors us back to God’s WORD and the HOLY SPIRIT as the only way to keep our FAITH ablaze and aflame in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.  

KEY POINTS 

  1. FAITH IS PRECIOUS AND OBTAINED THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS 
    We have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ — 2 Peter 1:1. It is not common, it is costly.
  2. THE WORLD GUARDS WHAT IT TREASURES, SO MUST WE 
    People will PRESERVE, TREASURE and ENSURE what is precious to them and keep it from rot, corruption and the enemy. God expects the same intensity for our FAITH — Jude 1:3 says we must EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH.
  3. DANGER OF SELLING FAITH FOR PORRIDGE 
    Like ESAU, many are mortgaging their PRECIOUS FAITH to stay in STATUS QUO, for show, for bank balance, or for things God’s path does not approve — Hebrews 12:15-17. The result is REGRET and loss of DEFAULT BLESSING.
  4. FAITH IS LIVED, NOT FELT 
    The JUSTIFIED shall live by FAITH — Habakkuk 2:4. The Christian life is by love through FAITH in the HOLY SPIRIT and GOD’S WORD, not by the SENSES or fleshy desires — 2 Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 5:6.
  5. BUILD YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH 
    We BUILD up ourselves on our most HOLY FAITH, praying IN THE HOLY GHOST — Jude 1:20. The WORD OF HIS GRACE is able to BUILD YOU UP and give you an INHERITANCE — Acts 20:32.
  6. SEPARATION FOR HONOUR 
    If we must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH, we must TAKE FORTH THE PRECIOUS FROM THE VILE — Jeremiah 15:19. We must PURGE ourselves to be VESSELS UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED and MEET for the Master’s use — 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 
  7. OUR IDENTITY IS ROOTED IN GOD 
    We are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, God’s PECULIAR people, called out of darkness into His marvellous light — 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10. This identity must be protected.

THERE IS A NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST 

By Leave a Comment

THERE IS A NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST: TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH! 

“. . . 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be HEALED. 9 For I am a man UNDER AUTHORITY, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . . . 13 And Jesus SAID unto the centurion, GO THY WAY; and as thou hast BELIEVED, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was HEALED in the selfsame hour” Matthew 8:5-13. 

The WORD Is the person of Jesus [1 John 5:7]; and the WORD, being the person of Jesus, is ever present as He has ever been; and the WORD is the life and light of men, and gives the same to all that believe and have faith in His ability to make a difference in them. And the WORD is tangible as He was able to be human, to experience humanity, to resolve humanity’s matters in life and godliness [John 1:1-5, 12, 14]. And this is to ensure and assure that whatever Jesus would have done physically in humanity, in you and I, on all matters pertaining to life and godliness, is what the WORD, is to us today and always, as in Matthew 8:5-13. And by that, God has given us His divine power and divine nature to enable us to have access to all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the KNOWLEDGE [ACKNOWLEDGEMENT] of the WORD of life and faith that is now available to us in the grace. 

“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 1:2-4. 

That’s why, it’s now your time to keep keeping on – on The WORD OF FAITH in Christ Jesus – to personify the reality of the creative and empowering WORD over your life and circumstances in the grace. To keep, KEEPIMG ON, BY SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH unto those circumstances and long-standing obstacles in your path of progress; I mean, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH toward the “THAT” which has become a plague, mountain, valley, crooked and rough places to you in the becoming of who you ARE by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. For by keeping onto The WORD OF FAITH, I can say to you in Christ Jesus, that assuredly, assuredly, you will PREVAIL by the WORD OVER ALL, as it is written: 

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

“So MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20. 

“But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:24. 

No matter how odd it may look, just keep on KEEPING ON – saying, announcing, proclaiming, declaring and SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH to the “THAT” situation. No matter how long it takes, you will certainly prevail, overcome, triumph and be victorious – for THE WORD OF FAITH is creative, transformative and thus works indeed in Christ Jesus’ stead. And THE WORD OF FAITH is THE VICTORY TO OVERCOME the world and its mode of operandi. 

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24. 

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

The reason to keep KEEPING ON, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH, is simply this – whatsoever is accomplished by THE WORD shall ever be, to the glory of God and for your BLESSEDNESS, as it is written: 

“I know that, WHATSOEVER God DOETH, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God DOETH it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:14. 

There is therefore a MIRACLE and TESTIMONY in your MOUTH and for you, in that, the “THAT” circumstances and situations cannot stop you – except you give the permission to do contrary to THE WORD OF FAITH within you. I urge you to just keep on KEEPING ON, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH – and that change you earnestly desired and craved to come, will come surely and assuredly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen! 

THERE IS THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST – TO KEEP KEEPING ON – BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH WHICH IS IN YOU . . . TO BELIEVE WITH THE HEART AND TO SAY [DECLARE, PRONOUNCE, PROCLAIM] WITH THE MOUTH.  

Have a Blessed day in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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 4:22. 

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

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH, and with the INCREASE OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE BE FILLED. 21 Death and life are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that love it shall EAT THE FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21. 

“Let us HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; for he is faithful that promised. . . 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward . . .” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39. 

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16. 

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples HEARD it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24. 

“But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 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 10:6-13. 

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 WHOM RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Isaiah 40:1-5. 

SUMMARY: 

The entire message is a charge to live and overcome by THE WORD OF FAITH spoken from the heart and mouth. You are not called to survive, but to THRIVE, PREVAIL, and OVERCOME by the creative, living WORD that is Jesus Himself.  

KEY POINTS  

  1. THE FOUNDATION: THE WORD IS JESUS, AND HE IS TANGIBLE 
  • THE WORD is the person of Jesus [1 John 5:7]. He is ever present, ever been. 
  • The WORD is the life and light of men [John 1:1-5, 12, 14]. He became human to resolve humanity’s matters in life and godliness. 
  • Whatever Jesus would have done physically for you, the WORD does for you today and always — just like with the centurion: “BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be HEALED” [Matthew 8:5-13]. 
  • Through the WORD, God has given us His DIVINE POWER and DIVINE NATURE to access ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness [2 Peter 1:2-4]. 
  1. THE PRINCIPLE: BELIEVE IN THE HEART, SPEAK WITH THE MOUTH 
  • THE WORD OF FAITH is nigh thee, in THY MOUTH and in THY HEART [Romans 10:8-10]. 
  • Victory comes by believing with the heart unto righteousness and confessing with the mouth unto salvation and results. 
  • This is the same principle Jesus taught: “whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN… and shall not DOUBT in his HEART… he shall have whatsoever he SAITH” [Mark 11:23-24]. 
  • The WORD grows and prevails mightily [Acts 19:20]. It grows and multiplies [Acts 12:24] when you speak it. 
  1. THE CHARGE: BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST 
  • THERE IS A NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST: TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON BY SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH! 
  • No matter how odd the “THAT” situation looks — plague, mountain, valley, crooked places — don’t stop speaking. 
  • The WORD OF FAITH is creative and transformative. It works indeed in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  • THE WORD OF FAITH IS THE VICTORY TO OVERCOME the world and its mode of operandi [1 John 5:4-5]. 
  • The reason? Whatsoever is accomplished by THE WORD shall ever be, to the glory of God and for your BLESSEDNESS [Ecclesiastes 3:14]. 
  1. THE WARNING & PROMISE: MIRACLE AND TESTIMONY IS IN YOUR MOUTH 
  • There is a MIRACLE and TESTIMONY in your MOUTH. The “THAT” circumstances cannot stop you except you give them permission by contradicting THE WORD OF FAITH within you. 
  • Death and life are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE [Proverbs 18:20-21]. We overcome “by THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY” [Revelation 12:11]. 
  • Therefore: HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF YOUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING [Hebrews 10:23]. RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH [1 Peter 5:8-9]. 
  • Keep declaring, pronouncing, proclaiming until the change you desire comes surely and assuredly. 
  1. THE BENEDICTION 
  • Prayer for grace and peace to be MULTIPLIED through the knowledge of God [2 Peter 1:2]. 
  • Charge to come BOLDLY to the throne of grace [Hebrews 4:14-16] and to witness the gracious WORDS that proceed from Christ [Luke 4:22]. 
  • Final blessing: Have a BLESSED day in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.  

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

Because Jesus the living WORD has given you divine power and victory, you must be steadfast — keep believing in your heart and speaking forth the WORD OF FAITH until every “THAT” mountain bows, because what the WORD accomplishes stands forever to God’s glory and your blessedness.

THERE’S THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST

THERE’S THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST: TO KEEP KEEPING ON BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH!

“. . . 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be HEALED. 9 For I am a man UNDER AUTHORITY, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . . . 13 And Jesus SAID unto the centurion, GO THY WAY; and as thou hast BELIEVED, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was HEALED in the selfsame hour” Matthew 8:5-13.

It’s now your time to keep keeping on – on The WORD OF FAITH in Christ Jesus. To keep Keeping on BY SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH unto that circumstance and long standing obstacle in your path of progress;  I mean, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH toward “THAT” which had become a plague, mountain, valley, crooked and rough place to you in the becoming who you ARE by God in Christ Jesus stead. For by keeping onto The WORD OF FAITH, I can say to you in Christ Jesus, that assuredly, assuredly, you will PREVAIL by the WORD OVER ALL as it’s written:

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

“So MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20.

“But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:24.

No matter how odd it may look, just keep on keeping on – saying, announcing, proclaiming, declaring  and SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH to THAT situation no matter how long it takes, you will certainly prevail, overcome, triumph and be victorious – for The WORD OF FAITH is creative, transformative and thus works indeed in Christ Jesus stead. And the WORD OF FAITH is THE VICTORY to OVERCOME over the world and it’s mode of operandi.

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

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

The reason to keep keeping on, speaking forth on THE WORD OF FAITH, is simply this – whatsoever is accomplished by THE WORD will ever be and to the glory of God and your BLESSEDNESS, as it’s written:

“I know that, WHATSOEVER God DOETH, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God DOETH it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:14.

There’s therefore a MIRACLE and TESTIMONY in your MOUTH and for you, in that, “THAT” circumstance and situation can’t stop you except you give the permission to do contrary to THE WORD OF FAITH within you. I employ you to just keep on keeping on, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH and that change you earnestly desire and crave to come, will come surely and assuredly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

THERE’S THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST – TO KEEP KEEPING ON – BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH WHICH IS IN YOU . . . TO BELIEVE BY THE HEART AND TO SAY BY THE MOUTH.

Have a Blessed day in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples HEARD it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

THE WORD is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach;  9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED.  10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 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 10:6-13.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 WHOM RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH

By Leave a Comment

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE NEED TO TREASURE IT!

“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 BE ALSO” Matthew 6:19-21 (Luke 12:32-34).

I grew up knowing that one will always dignify, preserve, defend and protect what one truly and earnestly treasures in life and grace. And in the same essence, I can say that:

THERE’S THE NEED TO TREASURE YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH. THE ESSENCE OF BUILDING IT UP IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD IS GRACIOUSNESS, GRACEFULNESS AND BLESSEDNESS.

And if I may ask of you today – How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? For I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters as to – friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of silver, gold, diamond and such like. And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURED is respected, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and will the more ensure that the enemy and cohort to their TREASURED substances, are kept at bay – I mean far away from their treasured acquisition and substances.

However, we live in the times when scandals looms everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH, some as the ESAU of the Old Testament are already if not have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE thereby lost his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING accompanying it accordingly – Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. And in some cases, the defraud to their PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is enormous indeed.  some have been betrayed, blackmailed and Some have killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get to the acquisition they want in the high places of doing life and living godly. And all these and more done to acclaim or achieve statuesque and statesmanship without considering the effect to their one’s cherished PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH.

It’s very sad today, some will want to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to keep to statuesque. Others will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus have not been built up to handle, just to show off, keep to pace and or their bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS privately and or secretly.

Let us not Forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus, shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that the life in Christ Jesus is live by the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD and not by the SENSES (hear, see, smell, taste, feel) of the human fleshy desires and instincts – Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7.

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY to you? Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it, is not of God; and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18.

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and to ensure your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is preserved and protected, you MUST not go to any length for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING that’s living or non-living.

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH alive – ablaze and aflame – through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what come your way in this life journey. The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should emboldened you, in all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world – 1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17.

Its time to take away the VILE from your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH to be use to advance His kingdom cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – (Jeremiah 25:9; 1 Timothy 2:19-21).

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit – THE HOLY GHOST – through THE WORD of God. Seek necessary counsel for help wherein you need to and save your day all the way from rot and thieves that are parading in hearts and thoughts and in life.

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THERE’S THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST: TO KEEP KEEPING ON BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH!

“. . . 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be HEALED. 9 For I am a man UNDER AUTHORITY, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . . . 13 And Jesus SAID unto the centurion, GO THY WAY; and as thou hast BELIEVED, so be it done unto thee.

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

The reason to keep keeping on, speaking forth on THE WORD OF FAITH, is simply this – whatsoever is accomplished by THE WORD will ever be and to the glory of God and your BLESSEDNESS, as it’s written:

“I know that, WHATSOEVER God DOETH, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God DOETH it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:14.

There’s therefore a MIRACLE and TESTIMONY in your MOUTH and for you, in that “THAT” circumstances and situations can’t stop you except you give the permission to do contrary to THE WORD OF FAITH within you. I employ you to just keep on keeping on, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH and that change you earnestly desired and craved to come, will come surely and assuredly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

THERE’S THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST – TO KEEP KEEPING ON – BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH WHICH IS IN YOU . . . TO BELIEVE BY THE HEART AND TO SAY BY THE MOUTH.

Have a Blessed day in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples HEARD it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH

By Leave a Comment

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE NEED TO TREASURE IT!

“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 BE ALSO” Matthew 6:19-21 (Luke 12:32-34).

I grew up knowing that one will always dignify, preserve, defend and protect what one truly and earnestly treasures in life and grace. And in same essence I can say that:

THERES THE NEED TO TREASURE YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH. AND THE ESSENCE OF BUILDING IT UP IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD IS GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS AND BLESSEDNESS.

And if I may ask of you today – How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? For I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters as to – friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of silver, gold, diamond and such like. And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURED is respected, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and will the more ensure that the enemy and cohort to their TREASURED substances, are kept at bay – I mean far away from their treasured acquisition and substances.

However, we live in the times when scandals looms everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH, some as the ESAU of the Old Testament are already if not have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE thereby lost his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING accompanying it accordingly – Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. And in some cases, the defraud to their PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is enormous indeed.  some have been betrayed, blackmailed and Some have killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get to the acquisition they want in the high places of doing life and living godly. And all these and more done to acclaim or achieve statuesque and statesmanship without considering the effect to their one’s cherished PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH.

It’s very sad today, some will wants to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to keep to statuesque. Others will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus have not been built up to handle, just to show off, keep to pace and or their bank balance and afterwards –  REGRETS privately and or secretly.

Let us not Forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus, shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that the life in Christ Jesus is live by the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD and not by the SENSES (hear, see, smell, taste, feel) of the human fleshy desires and instincts – Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7.

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY to you? Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it, is not of God; and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18.

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and to ensure your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is preserved and protected,  you MUST not go to any length for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING that’s living or non-living.

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH alive – ablaze and aflame – through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what come your way in this life journey. The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should emboldened you, in all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world – 1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17.

Its time to take away the VILE from your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH to be use to advance His kingdom cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – (Jeremiah 25:9; 1 Timothy 2:19-21).

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit – THE HOLY GHOST – through THE WORD of God. Seek necessary counsel for help wherein you need to and save your day all the way from rot and thieves that are parading in hearts and thoughts and in life.

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
