YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION

By Leave a Comment

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKE YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED! 

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35  

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, they will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS, and in circles and circus. For it is a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing against the TRUTH that only God owns and can provides to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine). 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine). 

The fallacy of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self-discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some delusional and driven them away from the path God made for them to BECOME both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately, because of such derailing, ignorance has shut them off from God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and their fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to be defined, accredited and validated by verdicts that are only a vague, satisfactory definition. 

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11. Amplified. 

When you CANNOT ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example, a MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE – you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there is none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you. 

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH” 2 Timothy 3:6-8. 

Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures call it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, A REPROBATE MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with severe adverse consequences as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message). 

Unfortunately for an individual and for society, when the EFFECTS and CONSEQUENCES start, most forget the PATH that brought them there. Instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble routes in search of solutions to the predicament that has resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That is the reason there is unstable state in human history and unfulfilled aspirations and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like. 

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence why there are so many human troubles around in spite of all these world-renowned Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as UNITED NATIONS (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like? 

It is for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man that somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry someone of the same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which, on the long run, begin to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like. 

I make bold to say that there is FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folk – being a Man or Husband in God’s terms. Meaning, being made MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it is God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there is no right to make any less of what God has defined and made them BE – that is, to BECOME in Him. All we need as humans is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises for humanity. 

Think of all the rebellious acts you might have put up which are vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now found FULFILMENT within or has it led you to fight for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you? 

I plead with you in Christ Jesus’ stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus has MADE you to BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT for your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine). 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine). 

“EVER LEARNING, and NEVER ABLE to come to the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH” 2 Timothy 3:7. 

“Not that we are SUFFICIENTLY QUALIFIED in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our SUFFICIENCY and QUALIFICATIONS come from God. 6 He has QUALIFIED us [making us sufficient] as ministers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not of the letter [of a written code] but of the Spirit; for the letter [of the Law] kills [by revealing sin and demanding obedience], but the Spirit gives life” 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 (Amplified). 

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15. 

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22. 

“The Lord is the PORTION of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou MAINTAINEST my lot. 6 The LINES are FALLEN unto me in PLEASANT PLACES; yea, I have a GOODLY HERITAGE” Psalms 16:5-6. 

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us all things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4. 

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, in the image of God created he him; MALE AND FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28. 

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED him NOT as God, neither were THANKFUL; but became VAIN in their imaginations, and their FOOLISH heart was darkened . . . 28 And even as they did not like to RETAIN God IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are NOT CONVENIENT . . . 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. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 1:18-32. (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message); Ephesians 5:21-33; Act 17:24-32. 

SUMMARY 

The message opens with a bold declaration: your acceptance of God’s definition is the answer to the human quest for meaning. Using Acts 10:34-35, it establishes that God accepts everyone in every nation who fears Him and works righteousness — without partiality. 

It then warns that until a person accepts what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace, they will remain trapped in cycles of LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING in ignorance, stupidity and foolishness. Without God’s context of understanding, people transgress against the only truth that gives life and godliness. Proverbs 21:16 and 13:15 are used to show that wandering from godly wisdom leads to death and hardship, while good understanding gives favour. 

The fallacy of self-definition is exposed. Many pursue FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and self-discovery to find answers and fulfilment. But this has made people delusional, driven them from God’s path, and shut them off from the redemption already given in Christ. Instead of accepting God’s definition, they fight for human legislation, hype and applause for validation — which are only vague and unsatisfactory. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11 and 2 Timothy 3:6-8 are cited to show that God has planted eternity and purpose in the human heart, yet people keep learning but never come to the knowledge of the truth because they resist it. Romans 1:18-32 is referenced as the consequence: a reprobate mindset that leads to bondage and severe effects. 

The message then addresses identity directly. Men and women, husbands and wives, male and female — fulfilment is found only in God’s terms, because that is how He MADE and BLESSED them. In Christ there is no reason to make less of what God defined. Humans must be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to accept God’s definition and blessedness. Anything short produces crises. 

It closes with a plea: stop rebelling for applause and attention. Has that rebellion given you fulfilment, or has it deepened the VOID and EMPTINESS? The message pleads in Christ Jesus’ stead to ACCEPT what God has MADE you to BECOME, so you can find fulfilment in Him. 

The final section lists Scriptural Thoughts to Ponder — on understanding, sufficiency from God, being approved by God, God’s pleasant lines and heritage, divine power for life and godliness, creation of male and female, and the full warning of Romans 1. 

Key Points 

  1. God’s Definition = Fulfilment 
    True identity and fulfilment come only from accepting what God MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED you to be — male/female, man/woman, husband/wife — in Christ. 
  2. Rejection Leads to Cycles 
    Without God’s context, people wander in ignorance, foolishness and bondage, constantly searching but never finding truth. Proverbs 21:16, 2 Timothy 3:7 
  3. World Systems Cannot Fill the Void 
    Rights movements, organisations, charities, and legislation cannot solve the human problem. The root issue is lack of acceptance of God’s gracious intent. 
  4. Consequences of a Reprobate Mindset 
    Resisting truth leads to delusion, perversion, and severe consequences as described in Romans 1:18-32. 
  5. God’s Approval Over Man’s Applause 
    Chasing human validation, legislation and hype produces only vague satisfaction. God’s approval is what validates your life “lines”. Psalms 16:5-6 
  6. Sufficiency and Qualification Come From God 
    2 Corinthians 3:5-6 — We are not sufficient in ourselves. God qualifies us and gives divine power for life and godliness. 2 Peter 1:2-4 
  7. The Call to Become 
    Accept what God in Christ Jesus has MADE you to BECOME. Be principled, responsible and accountable to His definition. That is where blessedness and fulfilment are found.

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION 

By Leave a Comment

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED! 

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36. 

What is it that sets up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live in; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire, business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are in; is it the size of the Church and Ministry you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually, WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, are worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

For me, what sets me up and my day is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED by God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, CALLED by God, JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS have PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV. 

“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 (NKJV) Emphasis Mine. 

The knowing that God LOVES me and that His presence LIVES in me, with me and for me — that makes it all the more PRICELESS. 
That, and many such like, too numerous to note within time and space, are what give me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day — for me, for all about me, and for others — in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus’s stead. 
Amen. 

Simply put: the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME in God has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore. 
And my past, no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, cannot hold back my today or my future anymore — because of what Christ Jesus has done: to wash it away into the sea of forgetfulness and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood. 
Amen. 
[2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Colossians 1:12-14; Ephesians 1:1-12; Romans 8:28-39; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 14:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12; Galatians 6:14-16]  

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19. 

What true freedom it is, to live assured by the eternal God, every morning and every day. 
The knowing that His steadfast love is new every morning and every day towards you and me is gracious indeed. Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now? 
I hope and PRAY the same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be free indeed. Amen.  
What true freedom it is, to live assured by the eternal God, every morning and every day. 
The knowing that His steadfast love is new every morning and every day towards you and me is gracious indeed. 

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now? 
I hope and PRAY the same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be free indeed. 
Amen.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS have PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV. 

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 FOR IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, BUT A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15. 

“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 (NKJV) Emphasis Mine. 

“They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy faithfulness” Lamentations 3:23. 

“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. 

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“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. 

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto UNFEIGNED LOVE of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25. 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” John 3:3-5. 

SUMMARY: 
This is a devotional message declaration calling believers to anchor their daily lives not in earthly metrics, but in their identity as a NEW CREATION in Christ. It contrasts what the world sets our day by with what should truly set us up — God’s grace, presence, and eternal work in us. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE CENTRAL DECLARATION: NEW WINE, NEW CREATION, NEW YOU

“THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!” John 8:36 
In Christ, the old has passed away and all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17. Salvation is not a patch but a total transformation. To be free indeed is to live with no bondage to your past. 

  1. THE PROBING QUESTION: WHAT SETS UP YOUR DAY?

Is it your house, car, bank account, business empire, career, church size, ministry title, trophies, or possessions? 
Charge: These and many such like are worth pondering. Do not build your day on things that fade. 
Doing life and living godly in grace requires us to check what we are trusting daily. 

  1. THE ANSWER: IDENTITY IN CHRIST SETS THE DAY

For the writer, what sets up the day is the assurance of being: 
KNOWN by God, QUALIFIED by God, PREDESTINATED by God, CALLED by God, JUSTIFIED by God, GLORIFIED by God Romans 8:28-30. 
And being in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance RELATIONSHIP through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord. 
This is described as indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible — because it is God’s doing, not man’s. 

Backed by: 

  • Qualified as partakers of the inheritance, delivered and translated into His kingdom Colossians 1:12-14 
  • Born again of incorruptible seed by the Word of God 1 Peter 1:23-25 
  • Called into fellowship of His Son 1 Corinthians 1:9 
  1. THE REALITY: NO PAST, FULL FORGIVENESS, FULL FREEDOM

The NEW CREATION in God has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore. 
No matter how terrible the past was, it cannot hold back today or tomorrow — because Christ has washed it away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed from all unrighteousness by His redeeming blood Micah 7:18-19. 
“He will CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA.” 
This produces HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to win the day — for self, for others, and for godly living in grace. 

  1. THE DAILY EXPERIENCE: GOD’S PRESENCE AND STEADFAST LOVE

The knowing that God LOVES me and that His presence LIVES in me, with me and for me — makes life PRICELESS. 
His steadfast love is NEW EVERY MORNING Lamentations 3:23. 
In His presence is FULNESS of joy and pleasures for evermore Psalm 16:11. 
Question: Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now? 
Prayer: That you would know what it means to be FREE INDEED in Christ Jesus. 

  1. CLOSING CHARGE

Therefore, SEEK AND TREASURE THE GRACE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU: it will make and enhance your becoming in Christ Jesus. 
DESPISE NOT your small beginning, for the New Wine is making a New You. 
TILL your land in diligence, walk with hinds’ feet on high places, and let God’s steadfast love set the tone for your morning. 
HEAD UP, SHOULDERS HIGH — you are qualified, called, and commissioned by God. 
From this day, refuse to be defined by your past, your possessions, or your performance. 
Be defined by Christ. Live assured. Live free indeed. Live as the New Creation. 
Amen.

LET US PRAY: YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED

By Leave a Comment

LET US PRAY: YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED – TO SHARE IN THE SAINTS INHERITANCE IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light” Colossians 1:12 Amplified. 

It is awesome to know that you have been QUALIFIED to share in the saints’ INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus; and it is within your redemptive rights and privilege in Christ Jesus to now rise up in grace — declaring and affirming your FAITH on the DONE DEED. 

That is the reason to commend yourself to God and to the WORD of His grace, that BUILDS UP and gives ACCESS to the INHERITANCE as set for all who are SANCTIFIED [set apart] in Christ Jesus’ stead — meaning set apart for God’s uniqueness in blessedness. 

“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. 

Will you PRAY it into reality? Now do it in this apostolic line of prayers as Apostle Paul did with the Ephesians Church. Endeavour to personify it as you make bold to declare the SCRIPTURAL writ into your wellbeing in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

EVERY BLESSING: Let us pray now. 

“For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped PRAYING for you, asking [specifically] that you [I] may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things], 10 so that you [I] will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; 11 [we [I] pray that you [I] may be] strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy; 12 GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US [ME] to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED US [ME] and has DRAWN US [ME] to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED US [ME] to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom WE [I] have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of OUR [MY] sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:9-14/Amplified/Emphasis Mine. 

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; 2 saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8. 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a prophetic call to prayer and faith-declaration. It announces that through Christ, you have been QUALIFIED by the Father to share in the INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS. The response to this qualification is to rise in grace, commend yourself to God and His Word, and PRAY IT INTO REALITY until you walk in the fullness of what has already been DONE.  

KEY POINTS 

  1. YOUR QUALIFICATION IN CHRIST
    You are Qualified by God — “GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS [God’s people] in the Light” [Colossians 1:12 AMP]. 
    It’s Your Redemptive Right — This inheritance is not earned. It is your privilege in Christ Jesus because you have been SANCTIFIED [set apart] for God’s uniqueness and blessedness. 
    Access Comes Through the Word — “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]. 
  1. THE APOSTOLIC PRAYER FOR APPROPRIATION
    Colossians 1:9-14 AMP gives us the pattern to pray: 
    Be Filled with Knowledge — “that you may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom… and in understanding” [v.9] 
    Walk Worthy and Bear Fruit — “so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord… bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God” [v.10] 
    Be Strengthened with Power — “strengthened and invigorated with all power… to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy” [v.11] 
    Give Thanks for Qualification — “GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US [ME] to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS in the Light” [v.12] 
    Remember Your Transfer — “He has RESCUED US [ME]… and has TRANSFERRED US [ME] to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom WE have redemption… the forgiveness of OUR [MY] sins” [v.13-14][I] 
  1. THE PRINCIPLE: PRAY WITHOUT FAINTING
    Jesus taught that we “OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT” [Luke 18:1].
    Just as the widow’s persistence moved the unjust judge, how much more will God avenge and establish His elect who cry to Him day and night [Luke 18:7-8].
    Prayer + Faith is how the DONE DEED becomes your present reality. 
  1. PERSONALISE IT
    You are to personify these prayers. Change “US/WE” to “ME/I” and declare the Scripture over your own well-being.
    Faith declares what God has already done until you see it, walk in it, and enjoy it.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS

By Leave a Comment

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM! 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2. 

In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written: 

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34. 

Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION. 

It’s true that the law of gravity pulls things down when things are thrown up. But it’s also true that aircraft overcome gravity by upthrust, and ships float due to buoyancy. Likewise, there’s a higher law that overcomes sin’s law – it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like. 

Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23. 

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified. 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV. 

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36. 

“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15. 

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST

By Leave a Comment

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKES YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS in circles and circus. For it’s a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing to the TRUTH that only God owns and can provide to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path that God made for them to BECOME, both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and the fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11. Amplified.

When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH”  2 Timothy 3:6-8.

Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequence as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).

Unfortunately for an individual and the society at large, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search for solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history, and unfulfilled aspirations, and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around, in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.

It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.

I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.

Think of all the rebels or rebellious acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within, or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED him NOT as God, neither were THANKFUL; but became VAIN in their imaginations, and their FOOLISH heart was darkened . . . 28 And even as they did not like to RETAIN God IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are NOT CONVENIENT  . . . 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.

THE NEW CREATION: TRULY FREE INDEED!

THE NEW CREATION: TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His steadfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

LET US PRAY: FOR YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED

By Leave a Comment

LET US PRAY: FOR YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED – TO SHARE IN THE SAINTS INHERITANCE IN CHRIST JESUS!
 
“GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light” Colossians 1:12 Amplified.
 
It’s awesome to know that you’ve been QUALIFIED to share in the saints INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus; and it’s within your redemptive rights and privilege in Christ Jesus, to now rise up in grace – declaring and affirming your FAITH on the DONE DEED. That’s the reason to commend yourself to God and to the WORD of His grace, that BUILDS up and gives ACCESS to the INHERITANCE as set for all who are SANCTIFIED [set apart] in Christ Jesus stead – meaning set apart for God’s uniqueness in blessedness.
 
“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.
 
Will you PRAY it into reality? Now do it in this apostolic line of prayers as Apostle Paul did with the Ephesians Church. Endeavour to personify it as you make bold to declare the SCRIPTURAL writ your wellbeing in the grace.
 
EVERY BLESSING: Let us pray now.
 
“For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped PRAYING for you, asking [specifically] that you may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things], 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; 11 [we pray that you may be] strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy; 12 GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:9-14/Amplified.
 
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; 2 saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!
 
“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.
 
In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:
 
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.
 
Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.
 
It’s true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up, they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence, it’s a high time to know that they are a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.
 
Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“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.
 
“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23.
 
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
 
“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.
 
“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.
 
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.
 
“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.
 
“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST

By Leave a Comment

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT  WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKES YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS in circles and circus. For it’s a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing to the TRUTH that only God owns and can provides to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self-discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to  SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path of God made for them to BECOME both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and their fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11. Amplified.

When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH” 2 Timothy 3:6-8.

Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequences as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).

Unfortunately for an individual and the societal, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search of solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history and unfulfilled aspirations and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.

It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.

I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.

Think of all the rebels or rebellion acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“EVER LEARNING, and NEVER ABLE to come to the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH” 2 Timothy 3:7.

“Not that we are SUFFICIENTLY QUALIFIED in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our SUFFICIENCY and QUALIFICATIONS come from God. 6 He has QUALIFIED us [making us sufficient] as ministers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not of the letter [of a written code] but of the Spirit; for the letter [of the Law] kills [by revealing sin and demanding obedience], but the Spirit gives life” 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 (Amplified).

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“The Lord is the PORTION of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou MAINTAINEST my lot. 6 The LINES are FALLEN unto me in PLEASANT PLACES; yea, I have a GOODLY HERITAGE” Psalms 16:5-6.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us all things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”  2 Peter 1:2-4.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, in the image of God created he him; MALE AND FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED him NOT as God, neither were THANKFUL; but became VAIN in their imaginations, and their FOOLISH heart was darkened . . . 28 And even as they did not like to RETAIN God IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are NOT CONVENIENT  . . . 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.
