THE HOW-YOU-DO-LIFE PRINCIPLES 

By Leave a Comment

THE HOW-YOU-DO-LIFE PRINCIPLES: ALWAYS READ BEFORE YOU RUN – ALWAYS READ BEFORE YOU SIGN INTO ANY MATTER! 

“. . . 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN [SIMPLE, SIMPLIFIED] upon TABLES [VISIBLE, TANGIBLE], that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4/Emphasis Mine. 

There is the HOW PRINCIPLE to do life, otherwise, you will either bury your head in the sand like the Ostrich, or you will think that the struggles you are experiencing are a mandate. Knowing what to do is good, but not knowing how to do what you want to do leads to sweating, struggling, fainting, depression and the like. 

Take the stand of the HOW along with your WHAT, to the WHERE and WHEN, and you will do life peacefully, effortlessly and graciously. 

So, to authenticate the enabling grace, wisdom and speed in ALL about doing LIFE and living in GODLINESS, you must as a matter of WISDOM and PRINCIPLE, always READ before you RUN. To read before you run simply means, you must be intentional to READ before you CONSENT and give your SIGNATURE to do any matter in context. And it does mean also, you don’t have to start the RUN, or be RUNNING before you READ. When you do act contrary, you might burn out of direction before realisation, and waste the resources [TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL, FINANCE AND PEOPLE — PERSONNEL] that are toward your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory. And it could be too late to make amends swiftly, to accomplish your expected ends in purpose, greatness and fulfilment in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

For the prevalence of WISDOM and the PRINCIPLE in DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY — you must always have a PREPARED and PLANNED WORK ETHIC, which is, to have your VISION and PURPOSE WRITTEN — PENNED — DOWN — legibly and tangibly; this is in terms of: WHAT IT IS, the TIME scale to use to accomplish the purpose-driven vision; how much EFFORT [TALENT/SKILL] to exert to accomplish the purpose-driven vision; the needed MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/TOOLS] to accomplish the purpose-driven vision; the FINANCIAL cost to accomplish the purpose-driven vision; and how many PEOPLE in terms of PERSONNEL to accomplish the purpose-driven vision, so that one does not run in vain as may be required.  

“He that GETTETH WISDOM loveth his own soul: he that KEEPETH UNDERSTANDING shall find GOOD” Proverbs 19:8. 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET WISDOM: and with all thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

And after you might have WRITTEN the purpose-driven vision down — that is, to make it PLAIN in [clarity, legibility and tangibility] — there is then the need to READ it over and over again until it turns from COMMON SENSE to REVEALED SENSE. 

And after you have READ to UNDERSTANDING the KNOWN purpose-driven VISION, then you can RUN. 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD [DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE]” Proverbs 23:15/Emphasis Mine. 

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD [UNFRUITFUL, UNPRODUCTIVE, INACTIVE]“ Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine. 

DON’T START ANY PURPOSE-DRIVEN VISION RUN BEFORE YOU READ. 

An illumination and enlightenment to the cause by the Scriptures is inevitable; and that can only be found in willing obedience to succeed in grace accordingly, as in the Holy Writ — Psalms 119:105; Isaiah 1:19. 

The unveiling of understanding for direction is given to the simple-hearted through scriptural instructions.  

“Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet, and a LIGHT unto my path . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” Psalms 119:105, 130. 

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19. 

To READ before you RUN and SIGN into any life PROJECT is very important in order to THRIVE and not SURVIVE; and especially while you are RUNNING living ventures as pertained to — Individual Career, Family Life, Business Adventures, Going for your Grocery or other form of shopping, or Starting and sustaining that Ministerial calling, or in any of your short or long-term day to day living projects, and others of such like. 

You need to READ before you RUN, otherwise, you will sweat, stress and burn out on TIME, EFFORT and FINANCE in unwarranted matters. 

The prevalence of WISDOM and the principle of productivity involves TILLING the land before you plant, not planting before you till the land, otherwise there is the danger of HASTE and WASTE — leading to self-destructiveness. 

Excellence and success are in the principle and obedience to READ, to know and understand, before you embark on any given project, if your intent is to succeed and be fulfilled in life and godliness by the WORD, with God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-22; Joshua 1:8. 

You need to know that there is no DNA for REGRET in REDEMPTION that Christ has given and bestowed to us. 

Therefore, WRITE the VISION-PURPOSE down, READ IT to the understanding, before you RUN with it or SIGN into it. Wisdom indicates that you READ BEFORE YOU RUN IN GOD’S PLAYBOOK. 

I pray for you God’s grace, wisdom and speed, in LIFE and GODLINESS, and in every way in Christ. Amen.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

“I will stand my WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon tables, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the END it shall SPEAK, and not lie: though it TARRY, wait for it; because it will SURELY COME, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, NOBLE, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29. 

“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:11-12. 

“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. 

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is VOID OF UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 12:11. 

“He who TILLS HIS LAND will have PLENTY OF BREAD, But he who FOLLOWS FRIVOLITY will have POVERTY ENOUGH! 20 A FAITHFUL man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, But he who HASTENS to be rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good, Because for A PIECE OF BREAD A MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 A man with an evil eye HASTENS after riches, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22 NKJV. 

“This BOOK of the Law shall not depart from your MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may OBSERVE to do according to all that is WRITTEN in it. FOR THEN YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a TEACHING ON WISDOM, PREPARATION AND OBEDIENCE for doing life successfully. The core principle is simple: God’s way is WRITE — READ — RUN. Before you embark on any purpose-driven vision, career, family, business, ministry or daily project, you must first WRITE it plain, READ it until you have understanding, and only then RUN. To run without reading leads to HASTE, WASTE, burnout, wasted TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE and PERSONNEL. True thriving comes when you align with God’s WORD, apply diligence, and walk by FAITH, not by fleshly instinct. God’s grace, speed and wisdom are authenticated when you follow His playbook. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THERE IS A GODLY “HOW” PRINCIPLE FOR LIFE 
    Knowing what to do is not enough. You must know how to do it. Without the HOW you will struggle, faint, and bury your head like an ostrich. 
    Habakkuk 2:2 — WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it 
    Proverbs 4:7 — WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET WISDOM: and with all thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING
  2. READ BEFORE YOU RUN AND SIGN
    Be intentional to READ before you CONSENT or give your SIGNATURE. Illumination and direction come from the Scriptures through willing obedience.
    Psalms 119:105, 130 — Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet… The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE
    Isaiah 1:19 — If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND
  3. WRITE IT PLAIN, READ IT UNTIL IT BECOMES REVEALED SENSE
    Your vision-purpose must be WRITTEN legibly and tangibly. Then READ it over and over until it moves from common sense to revealed sense. A prepared work ethic answers: WHAT, TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL, FINANCE, PEOPLE.
    Joshua 1:8 — This BOOK of the Law shall not depart from your MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night… FOR THEN YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS
    Proverbs 21:16 — The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD
  4. TILL BEFORE YOU PLANT TO AVOID HASTE AND WASTE 
    Productivity and excellence require diligence. Planting before tilling leads to self-destructiveness and regret. 
    Proverbs 12:11 — He that TILLETH HIS LAND SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH BREAD 
    Proverbs 28:20 — A FAITHFUL man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, But he who HASTENS to be rich will not go unpunished 
    Proverbs 22:29 — Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS
  5. LIVE BY FAITH, NOT BY SENSES
    There is no DNA for REGRET in REDEMPTION. The just shall live by his FAITH. Diligence + Faith + Patience = Inheritance of God’s promises.
    Habakkuk 2:4 — BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH
    Hebrews 6:11-12 — that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises
    Hebrews 11:6 — he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him 

Call to Action 

  1. WRITE YOUR VISION-PURPOSE DOWN: Make it PLAIN, SIMPLE, VISIBLE and TANGIBLE. Define WHAT, TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL, FINANCE and PEOPLE needed. Habakkuk 2:2 — WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon tables 
  2. READ IT TO UNDERSTANDING BEFORE YOU RUN: Do not start, consent, or sign until you have meditated and received light from God’s WORD. Psalms 119:105 — Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet 
  3. APPLY DILIGENCE AND TILL FIRST: Prepare your work ethic. Avoid haste. Build with wisdom so you THRIVE and not just SURVIVE. Proverbs 21:5 — The thoughts of the DILIGENT tend only to PLENTEOUSNESS 
  4. WALK BY FAITH AND OBEDIENCE: Let the WORD guide you. Be willing and obedient to eat the good of the land. Isaiah 1:19 — If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND 

Final Charge: DON’T START ANY PURPOSE-DRIVEN VISION RUN BEFORE YOU READ. READ BEFORE YOU RUN IN GOD’S PLAYBOOK. That is how you do life peacefully, effortlessly and graciously.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED 

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED: AND IT’S BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD AND NOT BY METHODS! 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17. 

There is an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

However, in life we are faced daily by THE POWER OF CHOICE . . . and that is to BECOME by THE WORD of God, or by our fleshly self-made belief, or by man-made religious secularism or sectarianism and such like. 

For God’s WORD is IRREVOCABLE in all His promises . . . 
Hence, to BECOME in that desired yearning of your heart by the enabling power of self-choice in IGNORANCE of THE WORD of God is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE, DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. 

Therefore, SELAH — PAUSE and THINK. 
IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE [UNEASE] place and position that is worse than any cancerous disease — which God abhors and once winked at. [Acts 17:30-31] 
For it breeds stupidity, foolishness and arrogance. 
For by IGNORANCE, many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, have ended up in the graveyards UNFULFILLED. 
And those who by chance have amassed anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place of unproductivity, as it is thus written: 

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (IGNORANCE, FOOLISHNESS, STUPIDITY, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine. 

In life as a child of God, you can only RECOVER and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you DISCOVER the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING of THE WORD of God. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:2 which states: 

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it”. 

The Scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ” but rather that “he MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. 
Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances about you. 

The principle there is this: that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory direction. That is to say, to obtain the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage [Marital-Relationships], Friendship-Relationship and such like. 

If otherwise you RUN before you READ to know and understand the road map of your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, then FAILURE awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. 

It is because of their RUNNING by mere zeal or passion without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. 

Simply know for the truth that a good understanding breeds favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness, as it is written:  

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (IGNORANCE) is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, STRESSFUL)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine). 

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING. 

THE POWER OF CHOICE – To BECOME By The WORD Is BLESSEDNESS . . . And To BECOME By IGNORANCE Is DEADLY. 

Have a graceful and blessed day. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17. 

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31. 

 
SUMMARY: 
You were BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED. But it will not happen by zeal, passion, or man-made systems. It happens BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD. 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: KNOW THE WORD AND THE POWER OF GOD

Matthew 22:29 — “Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” 
Error, mistakes, and powerlessness come from ignorance of the Word. 
God has an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in Christ Jesus’ stead. But you access it through the Word. 

  1. THE DAILY REALITY: THE POWER OF CHOICE

Every day you face a choice of how you will BECOME: 

BY THE WORD of God — God’s promises are IRREVOCABLE 

By fleshly self-made belief 

By man-made religious secularism, sectarianism, and such like 

To choose to become by IGNORANCE of THE WORD is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE, DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. 

  1. THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE

IGNORANCE is called a DIS-EASE [UNEASE]. It is worse than any cancerous disease and is what God abhors — Acts 17:30-31. 
What ignorance produces: 

  • Stupidity, foolishness and arrogance 
  • Unfulfilled talents, vision, dreams and aspirations that end up in the graveyard 
  • Unproductivity even if anything is amassed by chance 
  • Proverbs 21:16* — “The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD” 
  1. THE DIVINE PRINCIPLE: READ BEFOREYOURUN 

From Habakkuk 2:2 — “WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it” 
The order is not “He that runs may read”. It is “he MAY RUN that READS”. 
Meaning: NO READING, NO RUNNING. 

Why? 
Reading gives you KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT. That gives you clarity to WALK IN WISDOM before you run in: 
Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage, Friendship and every area of life. 

If you RUN before you READ, FAILURE awaits. Many have become victims of their own creations because they ran with zeal and passion but without knowing and understanding the fulness of their vision. 

Proverbs 13:15 — “GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [IGNORANCE] is HARD” 
Good understanding produces favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness.  

  1. THE CALL TO ACTION: RE-EVALUATE AND CHOOSE WISELY

Colossians 4:17 — “TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” 
Today the charge is: make amends. RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING. 

THE POWER OF CHOICE: 
To BECOME BY THE WORD is BLESSEDNESS 
To BECOME BY IGNORANCE is DEADLY 

IN ONE SENTENCE: 
God has ordained you for daily triumph and fulfilment, but you must choose the Word over ignorance, because success in every area of life only comes by reading, knowing, and understanding the principles of the Word before you run — otherwise zeal without knowledge leads to failure and unproductivity.

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES 

By Leave a Comment

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE! 

“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32. 

It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are, by the GRACE, and wherein you STAND in Christ Jesus’ stead, Amen. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at these present global challenges in ECONOMICS, WAR, POLITICS and PANDEMICS – and the consequences of these happenings on individuals, families, communities, nations, and globally are having a great effect. Lots of families and nations are on ECONOMIC meltdown, with job losses and bereavement.  Businesses are remodeling to suit the times; except individuals awake to innovate, create, initiate, and explore – just businesses are manoeuvring, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING the changes in times. For these businesses are making intentional efforts to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING the various ways of doing life with the changes in time, knowing it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become stable by stalling. 

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine. 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15. 

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace. 

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within [Hebrews 11:1-3]. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have not heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – ([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives. 

My earnest PRAYER is that you, as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win each by the grace of God wherein they stand.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (Irksome, Burdensome, Taskmaster-Like). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, even OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the worlds were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which DO APPEAR . . . 11But 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 11:1-3, 6. 

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, AND MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, THAT HE MAY RUN THAT READETH IT. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the DAY of BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31. 

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (Honour, Dignity); he shall not STAND before MEAN (Obscure, Vague, Uncertain) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS of the HEART BELONG TO MAN, But the [wise] ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord . . . 9 A MAN’S MIND PLANS HIS WAY [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS HIS STEPS and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1, 9 (Amplified).

It emphasises the importance of faith, diligence, and pursuing one’s vision to overcome obstacles and live a godly life.

  2. Don’t be overwhelmed by noise: Avoid being distracted by noisy, analytical people and circumstances; instead, focus on God’s word (Proverbs 21:16, Proverbs 13:15).
  3. Innovate and create: Businesses are adapting to changes; believers should too, by innovating, creating, and exploring new ways (Ephesians 5:15-17).

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION! 

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION! 

“Where there is NO VISION [NO REVELATION of God and His WORD], the people are UNRESTRAINED [PERISHED]; But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God]” Proverbs 29:18/Amplified. 

No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to start, sustain and to maintain it in the grace. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION. 

For LEADERSHIP’S MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time, talent and equipped materials are involved. A clear cutting-edged vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involved in the mission. 

The Eagles are known to be visionary because of their highly sighted eyes. It’s foresight and insightful nature are the great attributes that characterise this awesome creation of God. Hence, it can take on its prey on the ground from its grandstand gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style in a grand distance. 

Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of talent, finance, material, time and people. Hence, where there’s no vision, in the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like, likelihood to collapse is certainly possible. Infact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ensure the assured atmosphere you want to enjoy, as you’ve VISIONED and VISUALISED in the grace. 

So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning, endeavour to make it KNOWN [KNOWLEDGEABLE] and UNDERSTANDABLY, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT. 

REMEMBER ALWAYS – TO READ BEFORE YOU RUN [SIGNED AGREEMENT]. 

IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

READ BEFORE YOU RUN: WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE! 

“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

Don’t be fooled. Ignorance is destructive, cancerous and killing. Knowledge delivers and emancipates. Understanding gives direction and drive. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. 

” Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV. 

“For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:12. 

A person of wisdom is given to life and strength; given to time, opportunity and right judgement. Wisdom is the principal thing. Ensure you get understanding while in all your search for knowledge. 

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

As wisdom is the application of knowledge, so a man’s wisdom makes him to shine, radiates in glory and boldness without fear; much more, there is no room to feel evil when you know you are wisely living by the commandment of our God in Christ Jesus stead. And you can discern by such knowledge wisely, then utilises the informed acquisition to redeem the time and make judgement of a context irrespective, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Wisdom to direct is a consequence of knowledge and understanding, and it makes one work smartly, networks gracefully and do life effortlessly, and achieve in quality and quantity with speed and accuracy. 

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the INTERPRETATION of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT shall FEEL no EVIL thing: and a WISE man’s heart discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5. 

“If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him succeed [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified 

Therefore, READ BEFORE YOU RUN, so that you can make the right decision and maximise your given potential to fulfil purpose meaningfully with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

THIS CHRISTMAS PREP – SIGHTING AND VISUALISING THE UPCOMING OF A NEW DAWN YEAR: STILL AT DECADE 2020’S – A DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS: 

“Where there is no VISION, the PEOPLE perish: but he that keepeth the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18. 

“I will STAND upon my WATCH, and SET me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the VISION is yet for an APPOINTED time, but at the END it shall SPEAK, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” Habakkuk 2:1-3.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBLE); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURE, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29. 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . .6 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 11:1-3, 6. 

“For God is NOT UNRIGHTEOUS (UNJUST) to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS OF THEM who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 Emphasis Mine.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED: AND IT’S BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD AND NOT BY METHODS!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

There’s an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. However, in life we are faced daily by THE POWER OF CHOICE . . . and that’s to BECOME by THE WORD of God, or by our fleshly self make-up belief, or by man-made religious secularism or sectarianism and such like. For God’s WORD is IRREVOCABLE in all His promises . . . Hence, to BECOME in those desired yearnings of your heart by the enabling POWER of self CHOICE in IGNORANCE of THE WORD of God is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE , DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASED (UNEASE) place and position that is worse than cancerous diseases of any sorts – which God abhorrest and winked at. [Acts 17:30-31]. For it breeds stupidity and foolishness and arrogance. For by IGNORANCE, many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, has ended up in the graveyards UNFULFILLED. And those by chance to amanced anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place of unproductivity as it’s thus written:

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (IGNORANCE, FOOLISHNESS, STUPIDITY, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

In life as a child of God, you can only RECOVER and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you DISCOVER the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING of THE WORD of God. This is profound when one takes ight from Habakkuk 2:2 which states:

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it“.

The scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ” but rather that “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances about you. The principle there, is this,  that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory direction, that is to say, to obtain the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage (Marital-Relationships), Friendship-Relationship and such like the more.

If otherwise you RUN before you READ to know and understand the road map of your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, then failures awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. It’s because of their RUNNING by a mere zeal or passion without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. Simply know the truth that a good understanding breeds favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness as it’s written:

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (IGNORANCE) is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, STRESSFUL)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING.

THE POWER OF CHOICE – To BECOME By The WORD Is BLESSEDNESS . . . And To BECOME By IGNORANCE Is DEADLY.

Have a graceful and blessed day.

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES

By Leave a Comment

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!
 
“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.
 
It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in ECONOMIC, WAR, POLITICAL and PANDEMIC state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job loses and bereavement of love ones and acquittance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodeling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do UNDERSTAND and the changes in times to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.
 
“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.
 
And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and the to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.
 
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.
 
It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within [Hebrews 11:1-3]. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – ([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.
 
My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!
 
No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to it. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION.
 
Leadership MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time and materials are involved. A clear cutting-edge vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involve.
 
The Eagles are known to be visionary, because of its highly sighted eyes. Foresight and insight is the great attributes that characterised this awesome creation of God. Hence it can take on it’s prey on the ground from its grandstand gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style.
 
Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of finance, material, time and people. Hence, where there’s no vision, the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like collapses. Infact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ENSURE the atmosphere you want to enjoy as VISIONED and VISUALISED.
 
So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning endeavour to KNOW and UNDERSTAND it, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT.
 
REMEMBER – READ BEFORE YOU RUN
 
IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION

Then said I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, GO, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but UNDERSTAND not; and SEE ye indeed, but PERCEIVE not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

A person of wisdom is given to life and strength; given to time, opportunity and right judgement. Wisdom is the principal thing. Ensure you get understanding while in all your search for knowledge.

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

As wisdom is the application of knowledge, so a man’s wisdom makes him to shine, radiates in glory and boldness without fear; much more, there is no room to feel evil when you know you are wisely living by the commandment of our God in Christ Jesus stead. And you can discern by such knowledge wisely utilises and redeem the time and make judgement of a context irrespective, without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the INTERPRETATION of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT shall FEEL no EVIL thing: and a WISE man’s heart discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5.

Therefore, READ BEFORE YOU RUN, so that you can make the right decision and maximise your given potential to fulfil purpose meaningfully with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!!
