THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified.

There’s no geographical location and situations that can stop, prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.

I do know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens from the earth, and to give the heavenly the permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet, you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and anyday with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to serve others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication, and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace.

“For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an OPPORTUNITY for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the BEST for one another” Galatians 5:13/Amplified.

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—WITHOUT GUILE AND HYPOCRISY]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified.

“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 it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER.

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘The Faith That Works By Love’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“While the earth remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

“But covet EARNESTLY the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . . ” 1 Corinthians 12:31/1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35.

“Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:13-14.

“Let LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” Romans 12:9-12.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and Winter, and DAY and NIGHT shall not CEASE” Genesis 8:22.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:13-15.

“A NEW commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35.

“Let LOVE be without HYPOCRISY. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honour giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21. NKJV.

“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:43-48.

IT’S A DAWN YEAR – WITH A CHOICE TO MAKE

By Leave a Comment

IT’S A DAWN YEAR – WITH A CHOICE TO MAKE: TO EITHER THRIVE IN GRACE AND FAITH OR TO LIVE AS A SURVIVAL – IN THE ESSENCE OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY!

“And if it seem EVIL unto you to SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord, CHOOSE you this day whom ye will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY]; whether the gods which your fathers SERVED that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for ME and MY HOUSE, we will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord” Joshua 24:15/Emphasis Mine.

Know for sure it’s a dawn year and the choices you make will make and define you. And you need to know that you are born of God to THRIVE in grace and faith in Christ Jesus; and you are not born of God to SURVIVE in doing life and living godly too. And you ARE, the determination and custodian of your happiness, peace and the atmosphere you want to see and experience, not some else, except you give them the permission to make your choices on your behalf – of which, it’s still your choice knowingly and or unknowingly.

I therefore make bold to say that no matter what your SITUATION and CIRCUMSTANCES in life is today, you are not BORN of God to be a SURVIVAL in Christ Jesus; but YOU are BORN of God to THRIVE – to be soaring and gliding in VICTORY, TRIUMPH, DOMINION, A MORE THAN CONQUEROR and OVERCOMER by THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus that is in you in Him [1 John 4:4-6; Philemon 1:6; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Exodus 15:1-2, 2021; 1 Corinthians 15:57].

And in all the year count and round endeavours, it’s your CHOICE to make – to determine to THRIVE or to SURVIVE; and it’s your TIME to step up in GRACE and FAITH to BECOME who you are in God in Christ Jesus stead [Philemon 1:6]; and it’s yours too, to take on WHATSOEVER, in order to BECOME what you are BORN of God and QUALIFIED of God in Christ Jesus stead to be [Mark 11:24], and as per this wise context:

  * It’s your time to ARISE on the WIND – The Holy Spirit – to take to flight as the Eagle in turning your life around as God did at the beginning of time; this is when He step up to CREATE the atmosphere He wants to see, be satisfied and fulfilled, from the Earth that was FORMLESS and VOID to make it the World to be admired, colourful, beautiful and such like. [Genesis 1:1-2:1-25; Psalms 24:1; Acts 17:24-29].

  * It’s time to SET your life to THRIVE, to have a colourful world, create the atmosphere you want to see, enjoy and to LIVE FULFILLED.

  * It’s your YEAR of living in the POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – which is the greater, thriving, colourful, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life.

There are QUESTIONS to think through and ANSWER here – which are but not limited:

** Are you struggling to Pray?

** Are you struggling to Read and Study God’s WORD?

** Is your life being without form and void?

** Are you just SURVIVING instead of THRIVING in grace?

** What do you think is the reason for your stalemate and pain?

In answering the above-mentioned questions and such like that are known by you but are not written or mentioned here – you can then turn your limitations around by the enabling grace of God by FAITH, and by the infinite wisdom and power of our LIMITLESS GOD overall. [Romans 5:1-2; Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5].

I hereby announce to you that there’s HOPE in life today and the dawn year; and there’s a MIRACLE of change for you, but its your CHOICE to step up in FAITH in order to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in God’s way in Christ Jesus stead. I want you to know that when God SAW that the situation and circumstances about Him on earth was WITHOUT FORM and VOID, He determine to make the difference that suits His intent. That is, to CREATE the ATMOSPHERE He wants to see and enjoy and be fulfilled to behold. He didn’t sit back; this is what and how He did to make His desire become tangible and a reality:

* He did not choose to SURVIVE it or ADAPT to it or compromise with it.

* He took RECOGNITION of the presence of our HELPER, the creative Holy Spirit – [Genesis 1:2; Jude 1:20; Romans 8:26-27 (Amplified); John 4:20-24; (Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Philippians 3:3)].

* He chose to THRIVE, hence made a conscious, gracious, graceful and an intentional declaration to create the atmosphere He loves and wants to see irrespective of the STATEMENTS and SITUATIONS about Him. [Genesis 1:1-31; Luke 4:22; Hebrews 10:23; Revelation 12:11; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24; Romans 10:8-10].

* He spoke graciously and gracefully to CAUSE to BECOME what He wants and needed to BECOME, and it was good and very good indeed. [Genesis 1:1-31; Proverbs 12:14; 15:23; 18:20-21; 16:24; Romans 10:9-10; Hebrews 10:23; Like 4:22].

Today! When you chose to PRAY and make DECLARATION and ACT accordingly by FAITH on God’s word, by the LEADING of the Holy Spirit, your CHANGE will assuredly come in Jesus’ name. Amen. Then you take a stand to cease to SURVIVE and to LIVE above what your circumstances wants you to see; while you resolve and begin to LIVE and THRIVE by what you DESIRED of God to see by the eyes of THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE GREATER LIFE within you – [Mark 9:23; Matthew 19:26; 1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 10:8-13]. This is the how to ensure the start up to stop the life of STRUGGLING or SURVIVING through the PRAYER WALK of grace and faith; and to turn the FORMLESS and VOID circumstantial WORLDS into a THRIVING sphere that will be BLOSSOMING, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING.

DO CHOSE WISELY TO MAKE A NEW START TODAY – YOUR YEAR DEFINITION IS IN YOUR CHOICE.

I pray that by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS you will live and soar in POSSIBILITIES, DOMINION and EXALTATION as the Eagle with spirit of THE GREATER LIFE – THE PREVAILING WORD –  in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both THOU and thy SEED may live:  20 that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them” Deuteronomy 30:19-20.

“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 (TRANSLATED) 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 (Emphasis Mine).

THE NEED TO PRAY

By Leave a Comment

THE NEED TO PRAY: PRAYING IS HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE GOD ON HIS WORD – AND KNEELING INDICATES BEING PURPOSEFUL, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING AND MORE!

“We should PRAY when we are in a PRAYING mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should PRAY when we are not in a PRAYING mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition.”  – Charles Spurgeon.

There’s the NEED to PRAY and the NEED in making it your PERSONAL AND INESCAPABLE OBLIGATION and not SOMEONE else. Don’t be a PRAYER DISTRIBUTOR person and or COLLECTION CENTRE, but a KNEELING Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For KNEELING indicates – Winning, Dominion, Thriving, Victory, Overcoming, Triumph and More Than CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In the PRAYER acts of C. Spurgeon, I have met people with the URGED to PRAY but took the opportunity for granted for other activities, and had suffered the consequences of their spiritual neglects.

I’ve met also people who create no time to see praying or prayers as their SPIRITUAL responsibility and accountability, and have had the consequences of taking their spiritual responsibility and accountability for granted.

However, I’ve seen people who took time to PRAY when the urge to PRAY is done on them, and who also take PRAYERS and PRAYING as their personal spiritual responsibility and accountability and not someone else, even when the urge is not there; and through PRAYERS, they have averted adversities and kept at bay the ENEMY and COHORTS; and through PRAYERS, the good and goodness of God’s BLESSEDNESS have come their way and that of others they had prayed along for and with, quietly and or publicly.

Don’t take your act to PRAYERS and PRAYING for granted. Don’t make it someone else RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITY – make them yours. It’s time to know your God and be with Him in PRAYERS to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay and have the heavens at your answer.

There’s is the need to PRAY – for PRAYING is humbling yourself before God on His WORD – and KNEELING indicate PURPOSEFULNESS, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in CHRIST JESUS stead.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT” Luke 18:1.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 AND AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command THE LOCUSTS to devour the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

NO MATTER THE NEVERTHELESS AND THE NOTWITHSTANDING OF YOUR SITUATIONS TODAY

NO MATTER THE NEVERTHELESS AND THE NOTWITHSTANDING OF YOUR SITUATIONS TODAY: STAY FAITHFUL IN PRAYERS – THERE’S AN ANSWER WITH GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18 Emphasis Mine.

Dear friend, be ASSURED and KNOW full well, that in Christ Jesus stead, no matter the NOTWITHSTANDING and the NEVERTHELESS you’ve found yourself at this very moment in life – You don’t need to FAINT, GIVE UP, BE WEARY, LOOSE HEARTS, BE UNFAITHFUL to the principles of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus because of your current challenges. You need to take the bull by the horns, knowing it’s in all goodness, graciousness and gracefulness for you to just stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS – which is the CONSULTATION LIFELINE with God, until your ANSWERS comes.

THERE’S A MIRACLE for you in God’s BLESSEDNESS if you can take the needed and needful step of FAITH in God. For with God – ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE – [Matthew 19:26]. And ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to you and to all Who BELIEVE God by FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – [Mark 9:23].

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is IMPOSSIBLE; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

Do you truly and earnestly BELIEVE the possibility God as Simon Peter fully Believe of God’s WORD to launch into the deep for a catch – the catch that comes on obeying Christ Jesus demands? [Luke 5:1-11]. Thus, indicating that God will always COMMEND what He COMMAND. That should be your personal ANSWER to that QUEST you earnestly desire to turn around today no matter your situations. For we OUGHT to PRAY and not FAINT – and God seek a heart of FAITHFULNESS in all situations [Luke 18:1-8].

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING: Nevertheless At Thy Word I WILL LET DOWN THE NET. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES: and their NET BRAKE . . .” Luke 5:1-11.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18/Emphasis Mine.

There are many occasions wherein we are at crossroads one way or the other. The natural thing to do in most cases is by tending to go down to Egypt because of the FAMINE of life as Isaac of Abraham of Genesis 26:1-6. But if you can take a stand on God’s WORD as he was instructed by God, therein he waxed great and went on to become very greater in the fulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS that took it’s hold in him as in Genesis 26:12-14 (Genesis 26).

There’s the need to stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS no matter the nevertheless and the notwithstanding of your situations today; for there’s an ANSWER with God in Christ Jesus stead. Take the NOTWITHSTANDING and NEVERTHELESS position stand in PRAYERS, to deal with everything that stands in your part of BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I will therefore that MEN PRAY EVERY WHERE, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING . . . 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 NOTWITHSTANDING she shall be SAVED in CHILDBEARING, if they continue in FAITH and CHARITY and HOLINESS with SOBRIETY” 1 Timothy 2:8-15.

“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL; 13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 NEVERTHELESS to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26 that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again” Philippians 1:12-26.

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING: Nevertheless At Thy Word I WILL LET DOWN THE NET. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES: and their NET BRAKE . . .” Luke 5:1-11.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18 Emphasis Mine.

“I will therefore that MEN PRAY EVERY WHERE, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING . . . 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 NOTWITHSTANDING she shall be SAVED in CHILDBEARING, if they continue in FAITH and CHARITY and HOLINESS with SOBRIETY” 1 Timothy 2:8-15.

“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL; 13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 NEVERTHELESS to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26 that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again” Philippians 1:12-26.

The most effective way to do life and live godly is to be in communication with God. For God hears and answers PRAYERS by the last time I checked which is now [Psalms 65:2; Psalms 50:15; Psalms 91:14-16]. And an answered PRAYERS can only come through a gracious acts of communion, which is in fellowship with the heavenly, to enhanced the relationship of being born of God in the earthly affairs; but when that acts of communion is hindered because of not dwelling with your spouse joyfully through knowledge, then the commanded blessings that’s attached and that ought to be inherited in the grace of the marital relationships wherein you are called, will then be hindered.

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA]

By Leave a Comment

YOUR PRAYERS GO BEFORE GOD AS AN INCENSE [PERFUME, FRAGRANCE, AROMA]: MAKING THE VICTORY SONGS – HALLELUJAH! HALLELUIA!! ALLELUIA!!!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, BE WEARY, PANIC, BE ANXIOUS)” Luke 18:1/Emphasis Mine.

“. . . 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a GOLDEN CENSER; and there was given unto him much INCENSE (PERFUME,  FRAGRANCE, AROMA), that he should OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the GOLDEN ALTAR which was before THE THRONE. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, WHICH CAME WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD OUT OF THE ANGEL’S HAND . . .” Revelation 8/Emphasis Mine.

PRAYER – is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus avenue of MINISTERING WORTHILY to the Lord in WORSHIP and SERVING Him ACCEPTABLY while SEEKING His HEAVENLY endorsement and interference for the good, in our EARTHLY affairs; and it is the Believing one’s inescapable and supreme PURPOSE task, toward PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL solutions to human needs, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE created” Revelation 4:11.

And there’s nothing as lovely, awesome and amazing in knowing and understanding that your PRAYERS go before God’s throne of GRACE as an INCENSE – a PERFUME, FRAGRANCE and AROMA of GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS; and that He BREATHS in your acts of MINISTERING to Him in your WORSHIP and SERVICES in PRAYERS; and the resultant effects are VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and LIGHTNING’S, and an EARTHQUAKE. These METAPHORS indicates how powerful, effectual and awesome results that accompany your PRAYERS to the HEAVENLY for your EARTHLY affairs to be resolved effortless and without sweat.

Therefore – NEVER get tired, burnt out, faint, give up and be wearisome in your PRAYERS. For PRAYER is FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him. THINK about that every time you take any posture of PRAYERS to express in word or and in hearts.

Let the Lord’s name be magnify in your PRAYERS. The Lord is good and His mercies endures for ever more. May His grace and BLESSEDNESS abound the more upon you as you make PRAYERS an inescapable and supreme task to meet the PERSONAL, NATIONAL and GLOBAL needs of humanity.

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they MINISTERED to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had FASTED and PRAYED, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away” Acts 13:1-3.

“Let my PRAYER be set forth before thee as INCENSE; and the LIFTING UP OF MY HANDS as the EVENING SACRIFICE” Psalms 141:2.

“. . . 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE (PERFUME,  FRAGRANCE, AROMA), that he should OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the GOLDEN ALTAR which was before THE THRONE. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, WHICH CAME WITH THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD OUT OF THE ANGEL’S HAND. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. . .” Revelation 8 (Emphasis Mine).

“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be HEIRS of salvation?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.

Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; AND LET THEM PRAY OVER HIM, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 AND THE PRAYER OF FAITH shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, AND HE PRAYED EARNESTLY that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 AND HE PRAYED AGAIN, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit” James 5:13-18.

RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife

By Leave a Comment

RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife: To LOVE And PRAY For Those Whom – You Tend To RESENT And Who RESENT You!

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY and BADLY; and it’s a mixture of DISAPPOINTMENT, ANGER, WRATH and FEAR. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE and PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you. It is the gracious, beautiful and colourful lesson heard and learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Family, Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership, Gospel Ministry and such like.

I can boldly affirm that it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMON ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. [Matthew 5:38-48].

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE and PRAY for the one you ARE RESENTING or RESENTING you. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and you are PRAYING for and about; and especially if you truly want and BELIEVE and EXPECT God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself before God because God cannot be mock [Galatians 6:7-10]; and in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures earnestly do requires and do put a demand on us to love, in order to be the God’s genuine DISCIPLE, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14].

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal to do today, you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible, both for yourself and for the good of all, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5-11].

Set yourself FREE with LOVE and PRAYER – it’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT, at least for your own innermost peace and quietness. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable for yourself. I pray you know and understand that LOVE and PRAYERS will work for you to deal with RESENTMENT today and always.

You need to PLEASE God to make your enemy and cohorts to be at PEACE with you [Proverbs 16:7]. And you can only PLEASE God by FAITH [Hebrews 11:6]. And FAITH only WORKS by LOVE [Galatians 5:6, 13]. And the God’s LOVE is without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – and it’s the antidotes to deal with enemy and cohorts Scripturally [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:36-48]. Hence, you can deal with resentment at the form Scripturally as laid out in the context of discussion if you want solutions God’s way and path and not your self-seeking way and path.

And BLESSED regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you BEGIN to enjoy the needed and resultant PEACE born for acting DIFFERENCE instead of INDIFFERENCE from the norm – “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’ – the golden rule.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:5-11.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, and HATE THINE ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what REWARD have ye? do not even the PUBLICANS the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your BRETHREN only, what do ye more than others? do not even the PUBLICANS so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature)” Matthew 5:43-47 (Emphasis Mine).

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto WRATH: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:19-21.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God MUST believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
