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

It is your time to POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION, thereby ENACTING and AUTHENTICATING your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, in order to start enjoying your BILL OF RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in the Kingdom. 

I pray from this day you will sing a NEW SONG as you enact and appropriate your unconditional covenant redemption deed in Christ Jesus — our Saviour, Lord and King. Amen. 

Know full well that when Jesus led captivity captive, He RECEIVED GIFTS for men. And He GAVE GIFTS to men also.

Herein is the consideration of the RECEIVED COVENANT DEED in our REDEMPTION for your perusal: 

Seven UNCONDITIONAL redemptive covenant deeds RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ are summed up as follows:

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: THE ACTS TO MAINTAIN And SUSTAIN THE BLESSEDNESS IN YOU – IN ORDER TO ENSURE AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION! 

There is the need to ENACT the BLESSEDNESS in you in order to ensure an enduring POSSESSION in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

For it is one thing to be BLESSED of God, and it is another thing to KNOW you have been BLESSED of Him in order to live in the consciousness of such enabling grace without a human factor. 

And it is yet another thing to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN the BLESSEDNESS of being in the BLESSED realm in the REDEMPTION of God in Christ Jesus. 

To be BLESSED means to be EMPOWERED with the enabling goodness, graciousness and gracefulness of God to Succeed, Excel, Thrive, Achieve, Become, Create and Innovate, in order to: 

Live a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life and more; 

And to live WITHOUT sorrow, regret and mishaps in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

It thus means that the BLESSING of God in ESSENCE is not just physical in terms of — car, property, finance and such like. 
But it is spiritual — the endowed enabling of God, RECEIVED in our Christ REDEMPTION, that helps one to acquire the physical things we do need to enhance life, such as — car, property, finance and such like. 

The knowing of this makes our perspective in prayer more connected to the HOW of God. It shows us how things of God work for us — from the spiritual to the physical, in REVELATION and MANIFESTATION. 

The 3 Ingredients for KNOWING and SUSTAINING BLESSEDNESS 

And to ensure the KNOWING and SUSTAINABILITY of the BLESSEDNESS, one needs to possess and not lack any of these three ingredients that ensure the acts of LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These are: 

  • THE WINE — Speaks of THE HOLY SPIRIT 
  • THE OIL — Speaks of THE ANOINTING 
  • THE BREAD — Speaks of THE WORD 

The WINE will gladden one’s heart — the spirit-being 

The OIL will cause one’s face to shine 

The BREAD will strengthen one’s heart — the spirit-being — in all things 

And where these abide and abound in our day to day living, then LIFE and GODLINESS are done with ease, leisure and meaningful fulfilment, over and above these limiting elements such as — stress, depression, pressure, fear and such like. 

I pray you make time today and even now, to crave for this enabling to be a part of your day to day living in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE THERE’S THE NEED TO ENACT IN ORDER TO ENSURE AN ENDURING POSSESSION IN OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS. 

BE BLESSED!

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH: IS EMBEDDED IN – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – YOU HAVE IN THE GRACE! 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

The genuine COMMUNICATION [PROFESSING, CONFESSING, DECLARING , ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING] of your FAITH in doing life and living godly, has gracious and graceful effect; and the gracious and graceful effect is in you POSSESSING [OWNING, ACKNOWLEDGING] in your rights and privileges of God in REDEMPTION, of the PROFESS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead to any context in doing life and living godly under God. 

It therefore means that you CAN’T just ACCLAIM to be able to COMMUNICATE [PROFESS, PROCLAIM, DECLARE and CONFESS] effectually to affirm to the FAITH in Christ Jesus, wherein all things work together for the good, when you have NOT RESOLVED genuinely to the PROFESSING of the FAITH within you unreservedly and without reservation and adulteration. You can only MAKE GOOD out of the GOOD WITHIN you on that which you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written: 

“That the COMMUNICATION [DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY, PROFESSING] of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine. 

The simple truth in life is this – God is not mocked and can’t be deceived by mere religious believe and dogmas – hence there’s the need to have THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE – of who God is, and who you’ve become of Him in Christ Jesus stead, in all matters of life context; this is to help indicate your stand in the grace and you can then stand in that grace to BECOME who you ARE in Christ Jesus stead and not in another, in all matters about doing life and living godly. Having the understanding of your stand in the grace gives you the leverage you need in your onward and upward trajectory to stand out and emboldened from others, in you to fulfil purpose in the Gospel as Apostle Paul did acknowledged in the context of the scripture below. 

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:20-21. 

Therefore, know today that your effectual communication of the faith – is embedded in – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – you have in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16. 

“That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:9-13. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

“Be not DECEIVED; God is not MOCKED: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” Galatians 6:7. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF FAITH is rooted in understanding one’s position in God’s grace.  

Key Points: 

  • Genuine communication (professing, confessing, declaring) of faith in Christ Jesus leads to gracious outcomes. 
  • This happens when you acknowledge and possess the good things God has given you in Christ (Philemon 1:6). 
  • You can’t just claim faith without genuinely resolving to live it out unreservedly. 
  • God isn’t mocked; He wants you to know and understand your standing in His grace. 
  • Understanding your position in grace gives you leverage to stand bold and fulfill purpose in the Gospel (Romans 15:20-21). 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Philemon 1:6 – Communication of faith becomes effectual through acknowledging God’s work in you.  
  • Romans 5:1-2 – Justified by faith, we stand in God’s grace. 
  • Hebrews 10:23, Hebrews 4:14-16 – Hold fast to your profession of faith. 

The message encourages believers to grasp their standing in God’s grace, leading to bold and effective communication of faith.

ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION 

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION: THE FATHER GOD’S REDEMPTION DEED IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“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 . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

The Father God’s REDEMPTION deed in Christ Jesus, amounts to our access to “ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION”; for our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, received the inheritance of God’s BLESSEDNESS for us to do life and live godly in humanity in Him. And our place is to ensure our inheritance into reality and tangibility, as Father God in Christ Jesus has BLESSED us, CHOSEN us, PREDESTINATED us and ACCEPTED us, according to the good pleasure of His will. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein He hath MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved . . .” Ephesians 1:3 -10. 

The New Creation, the born of God Believer in Christ Jesus, is REDEEMED with a DNA default of blessedness. It’s an inheritance in the grace to be ensured in order to assure our justification of God in the grace. It’s upon which the Believing one of God in Christ Jesus can take a stand by faith. And can also lift up therein, their holy hands without shame, fear, guilty, wrath and doubting and more; and the Believing one of God in Christ Jesus is able to take a stand against any intimidation by the enemy and cohorts of our faith – and as we stand under God’s grace enabling covering, we ensure our blessedness.. [Romans 5:1-2; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Timothy 2:8]. 

“The Lord is the portion of my INHERITANCE, my cup [He is all I need]; You support my lot. 6 The [boundary] LINES [of the land] have FALLEN for me in PLEASANT PLACES; Indeed, my HERITAGE is beautiful to me” Psalms 16:5-6/Amplified. 

The REDEMPTION rights and privileges in respect to our inheritance in Christ Jesus, is a gracious done deed of our Father God for our life in the grace in Him. However, I do repeat that the reality and tangibility of the inheritance can only become meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling, when we do know and understand the whole ESSENCE of our inheritance in the REDEMPTION DEED; and when we intentionally and consciously live to ENSURE it as we do life and godliness in the grace we can actualise the reality and tangibility to our good and goodness. 

The knowing and understanding of the essence of our inheritance in REDEMPTION DEED of God in Christ Jesus, will save one from running TO and FRO in looking for one so-called PROPHET or PROPHETESS to help us to access God and receive what He promised also by their fortune telling and divining spiritism in the name of giving PROPHECY to you of what’s already yours in the DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus. So ignorance must never be given any room to breathe as Eve foolishly did by responding to the serpent suggestions that she will be god knowing good and evil if she eats the apple while she was already a god of the earth but sold her birth-right inheritance through ignorance and negligence of the principles governing her in Eden [Genesis 3:5; Psalms 82:6; John 10:34-35; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:16-18].  

Therefore, don’t let anyone deceive you for a special prayer prophesy and offering in order for you to access your inheritance in redemption. Such acts of suggestion or seeking after is act of fraudulence and extortionist. I say this with great heartfelt pain knowing what I have seen happening among many vulnerable Believer’s that have been bold enough to come forth and share the deception they have experienced through ignorance, negligence and intimidation and such like.  

I want you to know dear reader for certainty, that there’s an INHERITANCE for you by Father God in Christ Jesus as a result of the REDEMPTION that had been accomplished for us. We need to know and understand full well that when Jesus LED captivity captive, He RECEIVED [INHERITANCE] GIFTS for all in Him. And your name is named in it amongst all, and it’s for you to partake in this gracious act of REDEMPTION and its DEED, for your meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

It’s imperative that you stand up in the grace and stir up your faith to ensure the inheritance promise in our redemption in Christ Jesus, is actualised meaningfully and purposefully as you do life and live godly in the grace. 

You need to know that our Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, has by God, on our behalf RECEIVED GIFTS – INHERITANCE for all who accepts him as Saviour and Lord. The received inheritance of God on our behalf is part of ensuring our spiritual covenant that Christ Jesus entered with the Father God on our behalf. And these inheritance gifts for all mankind can be actualised in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. He didn’t RECEIVE it for Himself because He never needs it, but received it, simply for His REDEEMED FAMILY, which you are in Him. And are kept in the heavenly places of grace, wherein we are seated with Him at the right hand of the Father God, where no thief or robbers or wicked people can be able to invade and to dispossess it from us – [Ephesians 2:6-8; Ephesians 1:20-23; Matthew 6:19-21]. 

Herein is the RECEIVED COVENANT INHERITANCE DEED of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for your perusal. The knowing and understanding to actualise them will enhance on how you can then PRAY knowledgeably and understandably in matters of life and godly living in Christ Jesus. And in this context, we will be looking at the SEVEN UNCONDITIONAL redemptive inheritance that’s covenanted and RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ. They are summed up in the following: 

  1. Power (Authority) – Power of attorney to exercise dominion, victory, more than conquerors and triumph in life and godly living, in place of oppression, fear, intimidation, inferiority complex, cowardice etc. [Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7; John 1:12; Deuteronomy 8:18; etc].
  2. Riches [Prosperity] – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst etc. [2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; 3 John 2. etc].
  3. Wisdom [Mental] – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc. [James 1:5, Luke 2:40, 52. etc].
  4. Strength [Physique] – In place of weakness, sickness and all infirmities etc. [Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-31. etc].
  5. Honour [Dignity] – In place of dishonour, disdain, inferiority complex etc. [Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Timothy. 1:7. etc].
  6. Glory [Splendor) – In place of shame, reproach, etc. [Isaiah 61:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9. etc].
  7. Blessings [Grace] – The enabling and empowering virtue to thrive, succeed, achieve and become in life and godly living, in the places of curses, setbacks, stagnation, survival and more of such likes etc. [Ephesians. 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:3-4; John 10:10. etc]. 

And when you take a stand by FAITH in Christ Jesus to ensure these inheritances in our redemption, one could have become our reality and tangibility into real life as the Holy Scriptures do indicate. So therefore, ENACT and APPROPRIATE your inheritance graciously and gracefully in the grace.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

PRAYING IN WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

PRAYING IN WISDOM: GOD WILL ANSWER PURPOSEFULLY! 

The kingdom of God is not either this or that. For our God is a God of order and decency; and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND. For example, it’s not a case of either PURPOSE or POWER, in reverse, POWER or PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment and that you can’t accomplish with God without His enabling gracious POWER; in other words, you can’t crave for God’s gracious POWER for no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT. 

This INTENT is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, governance and more. This is the reason why many prayers and unnecessary fasting that even accompany some of them are not answered. THERE ARE PURPOSELESS REQUEST – HENCE, HEAVEN CAN’T EMPOWER THEM. THINK. 

So, watch out how you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pours ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end; you need to reconcile matters of GRACE to PURPOSE. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion. Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and Covenant Church? I say NO! So, THINK! 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:3. 

“Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come” Psalms 65:1-2. 

“Let all things be done decently and in order” 1 Corinthians 14:40. 

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8. 

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37. 

“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.  

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of praying with wisdom and purpose, highlighting that God answers prayers that align with His purpose and empower believers to fulfill their assignments. It warns against purposeless prayers and fasting, which are driven by self-seeking motives rather than a genuine desire to serve God’s purpose. 

Key points: 

  • God is a God of order and decency, and He only commends what He commands (1 Corinthians 14:40). 
  • Purpose and power are connected; one cannot accomplish God’s purpose without His enabling power (Jeremiah 33:3, Psalms 65:1-2). 
  • Believers should reconcile their requests with God’s purpose and assignment (Colossians 4:17, John 18:37). 
  • Purposeless requests will not be empowered by Heaven (1 John 3:8). 
  • Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of living a purposeful life, empowered by the Holy Spirit. 

The message encourages believers to think critically about their prayers, ensuring they align with God’s purpose and will. It urges readers to pause and reflect on their prayer life, seeking God’s guidance and empowerment to fulfill their assignments.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER To EMPOWER A PURPOSEFUL Demand! 

“Call unto me, and I will ANSWER thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:3. 

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.  

For example, PRAYER is not a case of demanding from God either of His PURPOSE or His POWER, and in reverse, of His POWER or His PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and CAUSE to accomplish while POWER speaks of the ENABLING – ENDOWMENT – to accomplish the assigned PURPOSE; and that means, you can’t accomplish PURPOSE with God, without His gracious enabling – endowment – POWER; also, you can’t crave in PRAYER for God’s gracious and enabling POWER for a no PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES – for it to accomplish. Therefore, you need to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK. 

And as a child of God, this INTENT of PURPOSEFUL demand of God into your life, is applicable whether is to your – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. This is the reason why many so-called – PRAYERS and FASTING – are unwarranted and unnecessary; it’s because they are PURPOSELESSLY driven with the intent of solely seeking POWER or OPPORTUNITY for nothing. God doesn’t ANSWER a – PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND – no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make of it; this important to note, especially considering how much rigorous devotion of time we claim to be doing sometimes in respect to PRAYERS and FASTING and NIGHT VIGILS; and all these being done or that we do or are doing to accompany such activity or activities, is in order to get an ANSWER and yet are not forth coming or happening as we earnestly request and crave after. 

So, watch out HOW you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pours ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end; you need to reconcile matters of GRACIOUS POWER DEMAND to the accompanying PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT, for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion as many have called my attention to such matters. Hence, I ask you today – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and His Covenant Church in Christ Jesus? And I say NO and NO! 

It’s only when PURPOSE are right, then the accompanying POWER (the rights, capacity, opportunity) then works TOGETHER for the good of you and to ensure that you have the MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT with God. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and not do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude of grace by God’s APPROVAL and not man’s APPLAUD – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28). 

Our perfect example on matter of the subjects in discussion is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity, He was graciously LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning it’s not a self-show off to FAST and PRAY as some may do to indicate spiritual classification. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit accompanying the set PURPOSE of God – the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived through humanity in that CAUSE or PURPOSE and POWER with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity. And I can say in His stead, that in same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like. 

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good – meaningfully and in fulfilment. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when done intentionally and as led by the Holy Spirit and by the WORD, in reconciling POWER demand with PURPOSE from God. 

So, PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

ENSURING AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION

ENSURING AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION: THE NEEDFUL ACTS TO MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN THE BLESSEDNESS! 

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15. 

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

In REDEMPTION, we are BLESSED of God in Christ Jesus. The essence of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is to ensure that in our assured redemption, that we can be able to: live a meaningful, purposeful and Fulfilling life and more; and to also live WITHOUT Sorrow, Regret and Mishaps.  

And it’s one thing to be BLESSED of God in Christ Jesus, it’s another thing to KNOW that you’ve been BLESSED in order to enact and authenticate it into a daily reality in life and godliness in Christ Jesus; and it’s another thing also to know the how to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN the BLESSEDNESS of being BLESSED in REDEMPTION without sorrow and regrets and such like accordingly.  

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

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

And to be BLESSED, means to be EMPOWERED with the ENABLING of God’s good and goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in order to – SUCCEED, EXCEL, ACHIEVE, BECOME, CREATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE and INNOVATE, in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means that the BLESSING of God in ESSENCE – is not PHYSICAL in terms of – [Car, property, Finance and such like; but it’s SPIRITUAL] – and it’s the endowed enabling of God received in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus – and that’s what helps one in grace to acquire or bring into reality and tangibility, the physical things we do need to enhance life in grace, such as – Car, Property, Finance and such like. 

The knowing of the above difference, in terms of what the blessing of God is, and is not, helps to ensure and assure how the BLESSEDNESS of redemption becomes real and tangible, and makes our perspective and perception in prayers more connected to the HOW things of God do work for us from the SPIRITUAL to the PHYSICAL in MANIFESTATIONS and TANGIBILITY, and how we can unreservedly and uncompromisingly do LIFE and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

And to ensure an assured know-how, maintenance and sustenance of the BLESSEDNESS, one need to possess, meaning, not to lack any of the three ingredients that ensures the acts of doing LIFE and living GODLY; these acts in essence helps to make all things in grace to come into fruition – reality and tangibility – as in the Holy writs: 

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15. 

“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a REPROACH among the heathen” Joel 2:19. 

The three INGREDIENTS from the Holy writs to help ensure the assured durability through knowing to maintaining and sustaining the blessedness of God in the grace are: 

  • The WINE – Speaks of The HOLY SPIRIT: The WINE will gladden one’s hearts – the human spirit being 
  • The OIL – Speaks of The ANOINTING: The OIL will cause one’s face to shine and radiate the glorious presence of God’s ENDOWMENT and ENDUEMENT in one’s being.  
  • The BREAD – Speaks of The WORD: The BREAD will STRENGTHEN one’s heart – the human spirit being, to meet the demands of doing life and living godly of God in Christ Jesus. 

And when the above mentioned three endowments and enduement abide and abound in our day–to- day living, then doing LIFE and GODLINESS are done [enacted and authenticated] in grace with ease and in leisure, satisfaction, and purpose, which will result in the meaningful fulfilment we so much desire – way over, above and beyond the limiting elements of – stress, depression, pain , hurt, pressure, fear, complex and such like that hunt us. 

IT’S TIME TO ENSURE YOUR ASSURED REDEMPTION DEED IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE THREE NEEDFULS AS MENTIONED 

Know today that it’s one thing to be BLESSED – and it’s another thing to KNOW you’ve been BLESSED – and it’s another thing to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN being BLESSED in REDEMPTION by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

I pray you make time today and even now, to crave for these enabling to be a part of your day-to-day living in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Be BLESSED! 

SELAH – PAUSE And Think!

Key points: 

  • The blessedness of God is not just physical but spiritual, enabling believers to succeed, excel, achieve, and innovate in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3, Proverbs 10:22).  
  • To maintain and sustain the blessedness, believers need to possess three key ingredients: the Wine (Holy Spirit), Oil (Anointing), and Bread (Word) (Psalms 104:15, Joel 2:19). 

These ingredients help believers to: 

  • Gladden their hearts (Holy Spirit)

OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION: ENACTING AND POSSESSING YOUR UNCONDITIONAL COVENANT DEED IN REDEMPTION! 

“And from Jesus Christ, the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who [always] LOVES US and who [has once for all] FREED US [or WASHED US] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death)— 6 and FORMED US [or MADE US] into a kingdom [as His subjects], priests to His God and Father—to Him be the GLORY and the POWER and the MAJESTY and the DOMINION forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/AMP. 

It’s your time to enact and possess your possession, thereby authenticating your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, in order to start enjoying the DEED; the otherwise ‘BILL of – RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES’ of our redemption in Christ Jesus – in the Kingdom. For we are His Chosen to show forth – reveal and manifest the redemption essence as we do life and live godly of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Coming to Him as to a LIVING STONE, rejected indeed by men, but CHOSEN by God and PRECIOUS, 5 you also, as LIVING STONES, are being built up a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ . . . 9 But you are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, His own SPECIAL people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10/NKJV. 

I pray for you this day, that you will sing a NEW SONG as the REDEEMED sang in the Bible days as typified of them in the Holy writ of Revelation 5:9-10 – this is so, as to ENACTING and APPROPRIATING our unconditional covenant in the REDEMPTION done deed in our Saviour and Lord – Christ Jesus, with Father God, on our behalf. Amen. 

“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. 

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole FAMILY in heaven and earth is named . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21. 

May you know full well, that when Jesus led captivity captive, He RECEIVED GIFTS for men. And GAVE also GIFTS to men. And your name is named among men to share in this gracious act of REDEMPTION. He RECEIVED SPIRITUAL Covenant DEED on behalf of men in order to actualis REDEMPTION [Ephesians 1:1-14; Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18]; and He GAVE GIFTS: 

  1.  The MINISTERIAL/SPIRITUAL gifts to perfect [complete, mature] and to enhance the given gifts to men [Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Romans 12:1-8].
  2. The SPIRITUAL FRUIT to enhance and perfect [mature, complete] men’s character and behavioural intent by the Holy Ghost [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5-8; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].
  3.

YOU ARE REDEEMED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT

YOU ARE REDEEMED – FROM SIN AND ITS EFFECT: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH! 

Do you know what? I am so spirited, super excited, graciously happy, genuinely rejuvenating and absolutely overwhelmed with unspeakable joy and peace – simply for the daily KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that – Christ had REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the FALL and of the LAW; for the LAW was as a consequence and results of the FALL. This makes my intent in Christ Jesus, more of a reality, awesomely and amazingly driven to POSSESSING OUR POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION. 

Much more, we are REDEEMED from the summed curse EFFECT and STING of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. When you know and understand this, then your only responsibility is to APPROPRIATE, ENACT and ENSURE it by grace through FAITH toward GOD in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 5:1-2. For it is your spiritual – vital and legal RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus, to POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS in Him. Amen. 

In the OLD TESTAMENT, the BLESSING of God was based on CONDITION – that is, CONDITIONALITY; but in the NEW TESTAMENT for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus, God’s BLESSING is GIVEN, based on the DONE work of Christ Jesus for our REDEMPTION. Hence, I am emboldened to say that our REDEMPTION BLESSING – IS A DONE DEED.
