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.

“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:

“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.

    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.

“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.

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.

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: PRESERVING And BUILDING Up Your PRECIOUS FAITH!

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: PRESERVING And BUILDING Up Your 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. Most will want to MORTGAGE their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus in time like this season of Christmas for unnecessary PROFITEERING in sales and for selfish gains with FALSE BALANCE/MEASURE, by attributing gains as RIGHTEOUSNESS which unfortunately it’s not as they are blinded by their make-up beliefs. 

“A FALSE BALANCE and DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES are extremely offensive to the Lord, But an ACCURATE SCALE is His delight” Proverbs 11:1 (Amplified). 

“DIFFERING WEIGHTS are detestable and offensive to the Lord, And FRAUDULENT SCALES are not good” Proverbs 20:23 (Amplified). 

“If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT NOT to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of CORRUPT MINDS, and DESTITUTE of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6. 

Other’s will want to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ is not matured enough to handle, tolerate and accommodate, but just for them to live a life of falsehood to just SHOW OFF for no healthy reasons and afterwards – live in REGRETS. Being blinded to forget that the just shall live by his own faith not another’s faith to their falsehoods and unwarranted wants and an entitlement intent. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS faith” Habakkuk 2:4. 

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ is such a PRECIOUS worth of grace that you must not go to any length for whatsoever to make it of no effect in the name of Christmas, this December and afterwards. Hence, I strongly commend to God and His WORD as it’s written: 

“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. 

THIS CHRISTMAS – I plead with you to TREASURE YOUR FAITH; what You Treasure You will DIGNIFY and ENSURE; therefore, ensure your FAITH is the most PRECIOUS in all. 

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS FAITH alive through this season and afterwards. Knowing and understanding that Jesus loves you in this Christmas, now as always, as you are and wants you whole afterwards. 

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by praying in the Spirit – HOLY GHOST. 

Be BLESSED. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

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 and TREASURE and ENSURE 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, dignified, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and they will do more to ensure that the enemy and cohort intent to their TREASURED are kept at bay from their treasures. 

However, we live in times when scandals loom everywhere, unfortunately even in the Christian FAITH. Some, like ESAU of the Old Testament, have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE, thereby losing their BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING as written in the Holy writs – [Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37]. While in some other cases, the defraud is enormous and 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 staying in their statuesque irrespective of the circumstances. Others will want to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ can’t handle just to show off, keep pacing, bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS. 

“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 live by love through 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; Galatians 5:6]. 

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your precious FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged 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 such a 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’s 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 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 FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world – [1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17]. 

It’s time to take away 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 25:9; 1 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 wherein you need to 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.

And, let everyone that NAMETH the name of Christ depart from INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET (QUALIFIED) for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine).

OCTOBER – BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE WHAT AND HOW AND WHEN AND WHERE TO BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“But ye, beloved, BUILDING UP yourselves on your MOST HOLY FAITH, PRAYING in the Holy Ghost” Jude 1:20. 

In the course of the Month October, I will be laying out by God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed, some ground PRINCIPLES to know and understand, on – the WHAT, the HOW, the WHEN and the WHERE and more – to “BUILDING UP 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 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. 

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH is very eminent and essential now than ever before. Simply because – You can’t afford to fail and be a failure when you ought to be carrying the DNA of redemption to succeed and be fulfilled; you can’t afford to survive or be a survival instead of thriving or thrive meaningfully and purposefully in the enabling grace and power to make real and tangible; you can’t afford to live in defeat, fear and sentiments instead living in the phase of dominion, victory, triumph, overcomer and more than conquerors; you can’t afford to expose yourself to falsehood, adulteration, tradition of men make-believe, dogmas, religious creeds and sorceries instead of knowledge and understanding to live in truth that sets one free and in freedom; and many other such like that “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead gives you leverage for an onward and upward trajectory. 

Now you know full well that you can’t afford to be a “BLESS ME” “BLESS ME” Believer in Christ Jesus stead, and there’s the need to be built up in the grace to ensure the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus.

October is now here and it’s our time, moment and Month, to use our PRECIOUS FAITH AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR THE WORLD’S we EARNESTLY desired and wants to see daily, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING as it’s written in the Holy writ of – 2 Peter 1:1-4, Jude 1:20. It’s your month for a creative, innovative and exploring timeline and timeless opportunity, to ensure and be the initiator and custodian of your well-being; and that your well-being is an OUTCOME of your PRECIOUS FAITH and MOST HOLY FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead and not an OUTCOME outside the TENET of your PRECIOUS FAITH and MOST HOLY FAITH – otherwise, it will be religion, dogmas, fake, counterfeit, adulteration and further bondages – (Galatians 5:1, 13; Galatians 3:1-14) 

The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which is REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ – and that gives us the enabling rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. For its not only that we ARE REDEEMED from these effects, we were and are USHERED and given access to RECEIVE of God in Christ Jesus stead the followings in our REDEMPTION – POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, and BLESSING (Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-8). 

Henceforth, it’s your time to ensure in order to assure you of redemption benefit by BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD AND BY HOLDING FORTH THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH IN PURE CONSCIENCE – TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN. 

The REDEMPTION ACCESS of God for us in Christ Jesus stead has TRANSFORMED (TRANSLATED, TRANSFIGURED, TRANSFERRED, CONVEYED) us and POSITIONED us into His enabling grace, from a SINNER to a SAINT; and therein, we can now OFFER unto God a gracious and graceful WORSHIP that’s WORTHILY and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of His CHURCH to enhance and ensure our RELATIONSHIP of being born of Him in Christ Jesus stead. This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us QUALIFIED firstly as His in these SCRIPTURAL wise: 

“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. 

“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. 

Jesus in humanity INCREASE in His worlds sphere in – Wisdom, Physique, Favour with God and Favour with Men (Luke 2:52). He made known that He was/is in a beautiful and colour relationship that is unique with Father God of which we also have access to same Father God in creation and in Him today. FOR AS HE, IS SO ARE WE today in this world as in the Holy Writ. (1 John 4:17-18; John 10:30-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 1:26-27); (Ephesians 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30). 

God has given us BEAUTY for ASHES, OIL OF JOY for MOURNING and GARMENT OF PRAISE for THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS. He has also MADE us TRESS of RIGHTEOUSNESS – a planting of His own making, that He might be GLORIFIED (Isaiah 61:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 10:15). 

Why should you LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ Jesus – wherein you’ve been MADE, God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21). 

With our REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, you have access to all that’s good and goodness, BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in God (Acts 20:20-21; Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:22). 

God has bestowed in you THE MEASURE of FAITH not A MEASURE of FAITH, THE MEASURE of GRACE and not A MEASURE of GRACE, to enable you have your worlds (health, relationship, family, finance, career, business and such likes) beautify and coloured. This FAITH enables you to OVERCOME all the forces that are in and of the world been orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:3-5).  

Therefore, make month OCTOBER to be your New Dawn to – BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH – in Christ Jesus stead, in order to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR your WORLDS in the FAITH of our God in Christ Jesus.

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: PRESERVING And BUILDING Up Your PRECIOUS FAITH!

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: PRESERVING And BUILDING Up Your 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. Most will want to MORTGAGE their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus in time like this season of Christmas for unnecessary PROFITEERING in sales and for selfish gains with FALSE BALANCE/MEASURE, by attributing gains as RIGHTEOUSNESS which unfortunately it’s not as they are blinded by their make-up beliefs.

“A FALSE BALANCE and DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES are extremely offensive to the Lord, But an ACCURATE SCALE is His delight” Proverbs 11:1 (Amplified).

“DIFFERING WEIGHTS are detestable and offensive to the Lord, And FRAUDULENT SCALES are not good” Proverbs 20:23 (Amplified).

“If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT NOT to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of CORRUPT MINDS, and DESTITUTE of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

Other’s will want to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ it’s not matured enough to handle, tolerate and accommodate, but just for them to live a life of falsehood to just SHOW OFF for no healthy reasons and afterwards – live in REGRETS. Being blinded to forget that the just shall live by his own faith not another faith to their falsehoods and unwarranted wants and an entitlement intent.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS faith” Habakkuk 2:4.

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ is such a PRECIOUS worth of grace that you must not go to any length for whatsoever to make it of no effect in the name of Christmas, this December and afterwards.

Hence, I strongly commend to God and His WORD as it’s written:

“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.

THIS CHRISTMAS – I plead with you to TREASURE YOUR FAITH; what You Treasure You will DIGNIFY and ENSURE; therefore, ensure your FAITH is the most PRECIOUS in all.

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS FAITH alive through this season and afterwards. Knowing and understanding that Jesus loves you in this Christmas, now as always, as you are and wants you whole afterwards.

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS FAITH, then upheld your FAITH by praying in the Spirit – HOLY GHOST.

Be BLESSED.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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.

“A FALSE BALANCE and DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES are extremely offensive to the Lord, But an ACCURATE SCALE is His delight” Proverbs 11:1 (Amplified).

“DIVERS WEIGHTS are an abomination unto the Lord; and a FALSE BALANCE is not good” Proverbs 20:23.

“DIFFERING WEIGHTS are detestable and offensive to the Lord, And FRAUDULENT SCALES are not good” Proverbs 20:23 (Amplified).

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.

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 and TREASURE and ENSURE 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, dignified, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and they will do more to ensure that the enemy and cohort intent to their TREASURED are kept at bay from their treasures.

However, we live in the times when scandals looms everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH; and some as 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 as written in the Holy writs – [Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37]. While in some other cases, the defraud is enormous and 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 wants to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to help them keep to stay in their statuesque irrespective of the circumstances. Others will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ can’t handle just to show off, keep to pace, bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS.

“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.
