WHILE OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

By Leave a Comment

WHILE OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: DON’T LEGISLATE THE SCRIPTURE – DON’T DO GOD – ONLY DO THE WORD OF GOD TO LIVE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING! 

“. . . 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 . . .” Matthew 8:5-13. 

You are only God’s WITNESS and WITNESSES, and not GOD. 
Hence, you must DO the WORD of RECONCILIATION and let God DO God. 
You are not to LEGISLATE your own rules outside God’s WORD, or over God’s WORD, as if you ARE God. 
We are in the world as God’s vessels for use in RECONCILING the world to God by God’s WORD. 
Therefore, we are endorsed as His AMBASSADORS for Christ Jesus — for God’s purpose and not our own, not for selfish and personal gain, especially at the expense of others. 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

I learnt early in grace, NEVER to DO God but to DO the WORD only – Matthew 8:8-9. It has saves me from foolishness, ignorance and stupidity. Many a time I see people wanting me to DO God for them in order to measure, ensure and LEGISLATE spirituality as a man of God and to authenticate that I am obeying the heavenly mandate. For me, as a matter of resolve, it’s not in and for me to DO God for any, knowingly and unknowingly. I learnt from Jesus, who in humanity, though God, did the WORD and though He’s the WORD – Matthew 8:1-13; He did the WORD as an example for us to learn of Him and in order to follow God’s CAUSE and PURPOSE for Him, while in His humanity – He live in OBEDIENT to the WILL and PURPOSE of God. Hebrews 5:7-9; 1 John 5:7; Philippians 2:1-11; 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Acts 2:22; John 1:31-38. 

I have seen many over time try to LEGISLATE spirituality to others as a way of forcing things to happen — as if they are God — to make what they term “God Said,” “God told me,” or “Prophecy from God” come to pass by every means and measure. And they enforce it to make it happen, so they can claim it as proof of God’s doing. 

THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT GOD DOES NOT ENFORCE HIS WILL ON PEOPLE, BECAUSE HE SEEKS WILLING AND OBEDIENT HEARTS TOWARD HIS WORD IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD. 

I have seen this pressure to “DO God” in the name of “prophecy,” “God said,” and such like, play out among both secular and lay brethren, and even among some Ministers. 
And many have taken advantage of this to CONTROL and MANIPULATE the will of people, to LEGISLATE for God, and to make people do unseemly and outrageous things to authenticate their so-called ministerial mandate. 

And many have followed this route in the name of God to make their so-called “PROPHECY” come to pass. To me, this is more of a conspiracy they have conceived, then deceived themselves with — and to deceive others who are ignorantly following them with all the HYPE and APPLAUSE, and not after God’s WORD genuinely. 

And because of their ignorance, foolishness, and error, they feel the need to prove to themselves and to OTHERS that “God SAID” or “told them so.” Hence they must ensure it comes to pass for them, no matter who gets hurt, and regardless of what happens thereafter as a consequence of such falsehoods they claimed were from God. 

I make bold to say: I am a WITNESS of Christ in God, and not God. 
So I do not DO God, but I am a WITNESS of what He has done in me in Christ Jesus, and what He is doing and will do through me, as a result of what Christ Jesus did in redemption. 

Anything outside of this is man-made belief, religious by-laws, creeds, and dogmas — and will not be welcomed or tolerated by me or by any who walk in truth. This is simply a notice.  

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8. 

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33. 

Therefore, STOP DOING GOD in the name of obeying the heavenly mandate upon your life. 
You are only called by God to WITNESS for Him in Christ Jesus’ stead — not to DO Him, or to LEGISLATE how spiritual you are so that people will see you and respect you. 
LET GOD BE GOD. LET MEN BE MEN. 
This is my sincere counsel if you must live meaningfully and fulfilled in God’s divine PURPOSE and CAUSE — in your doing LIFE and living godly before others in God’s name. 

 “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” Romans 8:28. 

“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:10-12. 

Know for sure and true today, that God only honours and answers our WILLINGNESS and OBEDIENCE to His WORD. 
He does not honour our ACTING, our attempt to PLAY ourselves and others, or our attempt to DO His role or that of another, in order to LEGISLATE spirituality in our lives and in the lives of others. 
God only honours and confirms His WORD — not man, and not the LEGISLATIVE, man-made beliefs of men. 

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land” Isaiah 1:19. 

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:19-20. 

You are EMPOWERED to be a WITNESS. Be therefore a WITNESS as John the Baptist as well as our Lord Jesus Christ, and then live whole unto God, while GOD do GOD for you in all matters of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. John 1:6-42; Acts 1:8. And when you have done the word, you then take a stand in His grace and await God to do His own in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 6:13; Romans 5:1-2. 

Therefore, while obeying the heavenly mandate: don’t legislate the Scripture — don’t DO God — only DO the Word of God in order to live blessed and be a blessing 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“There was a MAN SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to bear WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He WAS NOT that Light, but was sent to BEAR WITNESS of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:6-42. 

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8. 

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they WENT FORTH, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:19-20. 

“Bless the Lord, ye his ANGELS, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20 (Hebrews 1:7, 14). 

“He sent his WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20. 

“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. 

“But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD” Acts 6:4. 

SUMMARY: 
The message teaches us that God called us to WITNESS and DO HIS WORD, not to PLAY GOD or FORCE His will. True power comes when we obey, not when we perform. 

Key Points: 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: “SPEAK THE WORD ONLY”

Key Verse: Matthew 8:5-13 – The Centurion said, “BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be healed.” 
Core Principle: Jesus Himself, though God in the flesh, did the WORD as an example Hebrews 5:7-9, Philippians 2:1-11. 
Lesson learnt: “NEVER to DO God but to DO the WORD only.” This saves from foolishness and error. 

  1. OUR IDENTITY: WITNESSES & AMBASSADORS, NOT GOD

Key Verses: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Acts 1:8, Acts 4:33 

We are NEW CREATURES in Christ — reconciled by Him. 

We have THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION — “God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself… and hath COMMITTED unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION.” 

We are AMBASSADORS for Christ — God beseeches through us: “be ye reconciled to God.” 

We are WITNESSES — “YE SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me…” empowered by the Holy Ghost, not by manipulation. 

Therefore: You are only God’s WITNESS and WITNESSES, and not GOD. Your job is to DO the WORD of RECONCILIATION and let God DO God. 

  1. THE PROBLEM: “DOING GOD” & LEGISLATING SPIRITUALITY

The message exposes a dangerous trend: 

Legislating Scripture — Making up rules outside/over God’s WORD to force outcomes. 

Forcing “Prophecy” — Using “God Said” / “God told me” to CONTROL and MANIPULATE people into doing “unseemly and outrageous things” to authenticate a “ministerial mandate.” 

Conspiracy & Deception — People conceive a prophecy, then deceive themselves and others with HYPE and APPLAUSE, just to prove “God SAID” no matter who gets hurt. 

The Forgotten Truth: GOD DOES NOT ENFORCE HIS WILL ON PEOPLE, BECAUSE HE SEEKS WILLING AND OBEDIENT HEARTS TOWARD HIS WORD IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD. 

  1. THE STANDARD: GOD HONOURS HIS WORD, NOT PERFORMANCE

Key Verses: Isaiah 1:19, Mark 16:19-20 
God only honours and answers our WILLINGNESS and OBEDIENCE to His WORD. 
He does NOT honour: 

  • ACTING 
  • PLAYING God or another’s role 
  • LEGISLATIVE, man-made beliefs 

How God works: “the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following.” God confirms THE WORD, not the man. 

  1. THE COUNSEL: LET GOD BE GOD. LET MEN BE MEN.

Direct Command: STOP DOING GOD in the name of obeying the heavenly mandate. 
The Call: Be a WITNESS like John the Baptist John 1:6-8 and like Jesus. Live whole unto God. 
The Posture: “when you have done the word, you then take a stand in His grace and await God to do His own in His BLESSEDNESS.” Ephesians 6:13, Romans 5:1-2 

  1. THE PURPOSE: BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING

Goal: To live meaningfully and fulfilled in God’s divine PURPOSE and CAUSE — Romans 8:28, Ephesians 1:10-12 — “ALL THINGS WORK together for good… ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.” 
Final Charge: “while obeying the heavenly mandate, don’t legislate the scripture – don’t do God – only do the Word of God in order to live blessed and be a blessing.” 

  1. SELAH – SCRIPTURES TO PONDER 
    John 1:6-42 – John was sent as a WITNESS, not the Light. “THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH.”  
    Acts 1:8 – You shall receive power to BE WITNESSES.  
    Mark 16:19-20 – Go, PREACH. The Lord will CONFIRM THE WORD.  
    Psalms 103:20, 107:20 – Angels and God’s Word HEARKEN and HEAL.  
    Acts 20:32, Acts 6:4 – Commit to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE and THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD. 

In One Sentence: 

The message warns against trying to “play God” by legislating prophecy and forcing outcomes. Instead, believers are called to be humble WITNESSES and AMBASSADORS who simply DO THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION with willing and obedient hearts — and trust God to confirm His Word with power. 

Core Contrast: 
DON’T DO GOD → DO THE WORD 
DON’T LEGISLATE → WITNESS 
DON’T MANIPULATE → OBEY

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE – THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND

By Leave a Comment

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. 

“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. 

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 attribute 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. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS IN PROSPERITY, and their YEARS IN PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12. 

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20. 

“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a FOUNDATION a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a SURE FOUNDATION: he that BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:26. 

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be RICH shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22. 

“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. 

“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, 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. 

“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. 

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: TO PREACH AND LIVE THE GOSPEL! 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36 

When you PREACH and LIVE Christ, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD – there would be JOY in the City and in the DESERT of your being. For the GOSPEL is Christ Jesus: which is, that, He came, He was crucified, He died, He was buried, He rose again, for our SIN and SINS. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. This thus mean, whether you ARE in the CITY CHURCH or in the DESERT (VILLAGE) LOCAL CHURCH, you shouldn’t be mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – for it is the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST – for yesterday, today and tomorrow. Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Corinthians 3:10-13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-19. 

“. . . 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 . . . 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Act 8:1-40 

We live today in the times of pandemic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds. Yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY, HEALTH, HOPE, FAITH, LOVE – and such like the more – for all the hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances in our world. Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5; Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 2:68-75. 

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to BLAME or CURSE or ACCUSE or TRANSFER aggressions to others. While some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in order to have holds over them in their vulnerability. 

And what people need today in the midst of the current situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, families, and communities; much more, they need HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can WELL them out of THAT life darkness in exchange with the fountains of peace, personal worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. And it will take a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, to make it possible; that’s why you ARE of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all. 2 Corinthians 4:6; Proverbs 4:18; Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19. 

And a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH and LIVE CHRIST, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of personal and or people’s challenges and circumstances; this is the 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, 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 advanced to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City. Acts 8; Philippians 1:15-18. 

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advancing in your life and those around you, PREACH/LIVE CHRIST and PREACH/LIVE 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’ve 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, your 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. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17 

“And 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 everywhere 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 . . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT… 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath MADE US MEET (QUALIFIED) to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath DELIVERED US from the POWER OF DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:12-14. 

“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. 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36. 

“And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be PREACHED in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: TO PREACH AND LIVE THE GOSPEL! 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36 

When you PREACH and LIVE Christ, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD – there would be JOY in the City and in the DESERT of your being. For the GOSPEL is Christ Jesus: which is, that, He came, He was crucified, He died, He was buried, He rose again, for our SIN and SINS. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND

By Leave a Comment

THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND – POSSIBLE BY OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: THAT’S WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

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 end 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 realise in course of time in dealing with many in the FAITH-BASED SURGERY COUNSELING on day by day basis. Some don’t want to share and partake in PRINCIPLE the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled in God in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the  main switchboard.

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 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.

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. This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship. And some believer’s have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship civility and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION. 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. 1 Samuel 15:22-24; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, because the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, works timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. 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. 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11.

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 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 DIVINENLY giving instructions to satisfy the FLESHY 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 YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE. For then you can SET THE VICTORY and TRIUMPH STAND, by OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings:but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“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.

“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, 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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

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, 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.

“And Saul was consenting unto his death.

IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

By Leave a Comment

IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: DON’T LEGISLATE THE SCRIPTURE – DON’T DO GOD – ONLY DO THE WORD OF GOD TO LIVE BLESS AND BLESSED!

“. . . 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 . . .” Matthew 8:5-13.

You are only God’s WITNESS and WITNESSES and not GOD. Hence you need to DO the WORD of RECONCILIATION and let God DO God. You are not to LEGISLATE your own rules outside God’s WORD on God’s WORD as if you ARE God. We are only in the world as God’s vessel of use in RECONCILING the world to God by God’s WORD and thereby endorsed to be His AMBASSADORS for Christ Jesus in God’s purpose and not ours for selfish and personal gains especially at the expense of others.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

I learnt early in grace, NEVER to DO God but to DO the WORD only – Matthew 8:8-9. It has saves me from foolishness, ignorance and stupidity. Many a time I see people wanting me to DO God for them in order to measure, ensure and LEGISLATE spirituality as a man of God and to authenticate that I am obeying the heavenly mandate. For me, as a matter of resolve, it’s not in and for me to DO God for any, knowingly and unknowingly. I learnt from Jesus, who in humanity, though God, did the WORD and though He’s the WORD – Matthew 8:1-13; He did the WORD as an example for us to learn of Him and in order to follow God’s CAUSE and PURPOSE for Him, while in His humanity – He live in OBEDIENT to the WILL and PURPOSE of God. Hebrews 5:7-9; 1 John 5:7; Philippians 2:1-11; 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Acts 2:22; John 1:31-38.

I have seen many over time trying to LEGISLATE spirituality to others as a way of ensuring as if God, to make what they term “God Said”, “God told them” or “Prophecy from God” and such like, to come to pass by every means and measure – and they have to enforce it to make it happen so that they can ascertain it to be true of God’s doing.

THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT GOD DOES NOT ENFORCE HIS WILL ON PEOPLE BECAUSE HE SEEKS FOR A WILLING AND OBEDIENT HEARTS FROM PEOPLE TOWARD HIS WORD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

I have seen this pressure to DO God in the name of “prophecy”, “God said” and such like, play out in many secular and lay brethren, and Ministerial Minister’s in some quarters; and many have taken advantage of such to CONTROL and manipulate the will people, legislate God and make people do the unseemly outrageous things to authenticate their so called – ministerial mandate. And many have taken after such route in the name of God to make their term “PROPHECY” come to pass, which to me is more of a conspiracy that they have conceived and then deceived themselves in their making – and to deceive others – who are ignorantly following them with all the HYPE and APPLAUD and not after God’s WORD genuinely; and much more, for their ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, they will have to prove to themselves and OTHERS that God SAID or told them so – hence there’s that need for them to ensure it comes to pass for them, no matter who gets hurt and what therein or thereafter happens in consequence to such falsehoods that they acclaimed to have been of God.

I make bold to say that I am a WITNESS of Christ in God and not God. So I don’t DO God, but to be a WITNESS of what He has done in me in Christ Jesus, and He’s doing and will do through me in consequence of what Christ Jesus did in redemption. Anything elsewhere are man-made belief and religious by-laws, creeds and dogmas and won’t be welcome and tolerated for me or any – this is just a notice.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

Therefore, STOP DOING GOD in the name of obeying the heavenly mandate upon your life. You are only called of God to WITNESS for Him in Christ Jesus stead and not to DO Him in order to LEGISLATE how spiritual you are and wants people to see you and respect you. Let GOD BE GOD, LET MEN BE MEN, it’s what I sincerely advice if you must live meaningfully and fulfilling in God’s divine PURPOSE and CAUSE in your doing LIFE and living godly before others in God’s name.

“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” Romans 8:28.

“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:10-12.

Know for sure and true today, that God only honour and answers to our WILLINGNESS and OBEDIENCE to His WORD and not our ACTING up to PLAY ourselves and others to be Him or DO His role or person’s in order to LEGISLATE spirituality in our life and others. God only honour and confirm His WORD not man or the LEGISLATIVE man-made up belief of men.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land” Isaiah 1:19.

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:19-20.

You are EMPOWERED to be a WITNESS. Be therefore a WITNESS as John the Baptist as well as our Lord Jesus Christ, and then live whole unto God, while GOD do GOD for you in all matters of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. John 1:6-42; Acts 1:8. And when you have done the word, you then take a stand in His grace and await God to do His own in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 6:13; Romans 5:1-2.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There was a MAN SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to bear WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He WAS NOT that Light, but was sent to BEAR WITNESS of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:6-42.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they WENT FORTH, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:19-20.

“Bless the Lord, ye his ANGELS, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20 (Hebrews 1:7, 14).

“He sent his WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20.

“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.

“But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD” Acts 6:4.

THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND

By Leave a Comment

THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND – POSSIBLE BY OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: THAT’S WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

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 end 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 realize in course of time in dealing with many in the FAITH-BASED SURGERY COUNSELING on day by day basis. Some don’t want to share and partake in PRINCIPLE the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled in God in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the  main switchboard.

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 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.

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. This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship. And some believers have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship civility and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION. 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. 1 Samuel 15:22-24; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, because the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, works timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. 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 trick 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 lives. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN. 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11.

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 every way 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 fulfillment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we 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 DIVINENLY giving instructions to satisfy the FLESHY 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 fulfill PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1Timothy 6:3-6.

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE. For then you can SET THE VICTORY and TRIUMPH STAND, by OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS IN PROSPERITY, and their YEARS IN PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“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.

“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, 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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.
