DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION! 

“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING teaches you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His ANOINTING has TAUGHT you, you must REMAIN in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:27/AMP. 

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for anyone, especially for the born-again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly, and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

It then means CHARISMA is of NO PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHINESS and TRUTH and such like, in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine. 

In life, most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in the course of time without CHARACTER. Hence these WISDOM NUGGETS are needful for guidance, as I hereby state: 

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the goods of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity” 

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on A daily basis.                                    

The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues are indicated in these scriptural contexts: 

CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27. 

CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit, as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16. 

The Holy Spirit is the PERSONALITY that ENABLES God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.  

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus a COMPLETE GOSPEL. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified). 

“These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and BRING all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” John 14:25-26. 

“But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man TEACH you: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is NO LIE, and even as it hath TAUGHT you, ye shall ABIDE in him” 1 John 2:27.

BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: THERE’S NOW – NO MORE CONDEMNATION – IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“But God, who is RICH in MERCY, for his great LOVE wherewith He LOVED US, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath QUICKENED US together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 and hath RAISED US up together, and MADE US sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness TOWARD US through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:4-9. 

What a freedom! What an awesome, gracious and graceful life to live now and always – on an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead – To receive the heavenly pardon of God by: being loved, forgiven, discharged and acquitted, received and made blameless and guiltless. And then QUALIFIED to access His presence and share in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely LIBERATING us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:2/Amplified. 

What men can’t offer and do, God HAS offered and given to us without conditionalities, prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation – by saying to us for NOW, today and tomorrow that – THERE’S NO MORE CONDEMNATION! – FOR YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!! And that settles it all to live with hope, faith and love. Amen. 

You ARE loved, washed, forgiven, predestined, called, LOOSED, freed, redeemed, qualified, delivered, translated, conveyed, known, accepted, glorified, crowned a royal priesthood, a holy nation, chosen, peculiar, a special breed, righteous, [Revelation 1:5-6, Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Ephesians 15-12; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29] and many such like – and it is IRRESPECTIVE OF ANYTHING ELSE.  

Therefore, shout yourself to: 

GLORY! 

HALLELUJAH! 

AMEN!!! 

MAY OUR GOD BE FOREVER PRAISEED IN YOU. AND MAY THE ETERNAL BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST THAT JUSTIFIED US AND FREED US, SPEAK FOR YOU TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOR ALL ETERNITY. 

Now head up, shoulders high and on the high heels of your faith, to live in the grace wherein God has set you to walk upon in Christ Jesus’ stead – and it is irrespective of, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. NO MORE CONDEMNATION in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION [NO GUILTY VERDICT, NO PUNISHMENT] for those who ARE in Christ Jesus [who BELIEVE in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [THE LAW OF OUR NEW BEING] has set you free from THE LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH” Romans 8:1-2/AMP. 

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP. 

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 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/AMP. 

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED US, and WASHED US from our sins in His own blood, 6 and hath MADE US kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

THE RESULT

We now RECEIVE THE HEAVENLY PARDON OF GOD: loved, forgiven, discharged, acquitted, received, made blameless and guiltless. 
We are QUALIFIED to access His presence and share in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. STAND FIRM IN FREEDOM. Do not go back under a yoke of slavery, guilt, or condemnation. Galatians 5:1

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER ENSURES AND ASSURES YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT IN GRACE! 

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance: AGAINST such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.  

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious, ineffable quality; you either have it, or you don’t.  

The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: 

  1. COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others;  
  2. A DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. 

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17.  

It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATION in every respect of manifestation and operation. 

CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER – is defined and applied as the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged, apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morally. 

And for the BELIEVER in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT or CHARISMA for doing life and living godly – which is a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS (endowment) combined with TALENTS – is sustained in grace and in life by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5. This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that formulates one’s character to uphold the integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic endowment includes, but is not limited to: Galatians 5:22-23 and 2 Peter 1:5-11 and Philippians 4:8 and Romans 12:9-21 etc. 

  • Love (Charitable) 
  • Joy 
  • Peace 
  • Longsuffering (Endurance) 
  • Gentleness 
  • Goodness (Virtue) 
  • Faith (Faithfulness) 
  • Meekness 
  • Temperance (Self Control) 
  • Patience 
  • Brotherly Kindness 
  • Godliness 
  • Honesty 
  • Purity 
  • . . . And such like – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more highlights in various places in the scriptures . . .  

If these things – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one will be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to anyone, just as Jesus did in humanity – 1 Peter 2:21-25. 

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operation. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But only your CHARACTER makes and keeps you in your THERE after all. 

Your CHARACTER – is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance: AGAINST such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23. 

“And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. . .” 2 Peter 1:5-11. 

“FINALLY, BRETHREN, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS’ Philippians 4:8. 

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17 

Further Scriptural Reading: Romans 12:1-20.  

SUMMARY: 

This message is a teaching charge on the relationship between CHARISMA, CHARACTER, and SPIRITUAL FRUIT. It establishes that while charisma opens doors, only character sustains you in grace. 

  1. DEFINITION AND POWER OF CHARISMA
  • CHARISMA is the ability to attract, charm, and influence people around you for a given cause — Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. 
  • It has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS that inspires devotion, and A DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to become what you are called to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. 
  • CHARISMA is good and great. It takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operation. It helps to evolve your uniqueness from others. 
  • “And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance forever” Isaiah 32:17 
  1. THE SUSTAINER: CHARACTER AS SPIRITUAL FRUIT
  • It must be noted: the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. 
  • Without character, charisma becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATION in every respect. 
  • CHARACTER — THE RESILIENT TEMPER — is the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged, apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. The strength of character distinguishes you mentally and morally. 
  • For the BELIEVER in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT — a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS combined with TALENTS — is sustained in grace and in life by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5 
  1. THE FRUIT THAT FORMS CHARACTER

This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that upholds the integrity and etiquette of your charisma includes, but is not limited to: 

  • Galatians 5:22-23: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance 
  • 2 Peter 1:5-11: Faith, Virtue, Knowledge, Temperance, Patience, Godliness, Brotherly Kindness, Charity 
  • Philippians 4:8: Things that are True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, of Good Report, Virtue, Praise 
  • Romans 12:9-21 and others: Patience, Brotherly Kindness, Godliness, Honesty, Purity, faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God 

“For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:5-8 

  1. THE PRINCIPLE: FRUIT ABOUNDING = SUSTAINED CHARISMA
  • If these things — SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) — abound more and more, one will be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA and placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to anyone, just as Jesus did in humanity 1 Peter 2:21-25. 
  • You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. 
  • Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. 
  • CHARISMA may take you UP, but only CHARACTER keeps you THERE. 
  • Your CHARACTER — is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING
  • The Fruit of the Spirit produces a life that is above reproach Galatians 5:22-23 
  • Diligence in adding virtue ensures you are not barren or unfruitful 2 Peter 1:5-11 
  • Think on these things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely Philippians 4:8 
  • Righteousness produces peace, quietness and assurance Isaiah 32:17 
  1. CALL TO ACTION
  • COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY by intentionally cultivating the FRUIT of the Spirit daily. 
  • Examine your charisma through the lens of character. Is it Spirit-led or self-made? 
  • Abound in spiritual fruit. Give all diligence to add virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity. 
  • Guard your endowment. Don’t let gifts operate without the fruit to back them. Character must lead to charisma.
    Further Study: Romans 12:1-20 — Present your body a living sacrifice and be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

FINAL WORD:
God gave you charisma to influence, but He gave you the Holy Spirit to produce fruit that will sustain that influence. Let your life be beautiful, not just attractive.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

By Leave a Comment

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: GOD’S SALVATION PLAN – THE DESERT LAND SHALL SERVE HIM! 

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS [DESERT PLACES] shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9. 

“The WILDERNESS [DESERT PLACES] and the SOLITARY PLACE shall be GLAD for them; and the DESERT shall rejoice, and BLOSSOM as the rose . . .” Isaiah 35. 

IT’S AN AWAKENING MOMENT AGAIN – OUR REVIVAL TIME. SALVATION IS HERE AND STILL COMING. And assuredly and certainly – The DESERT, REMOTE NATIONS SHALL SERVE THE LORD GOD – because the eternal Blood of Jesus Christ, which ATONES for all human Salvation, is speaking in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS, and it belongs to them too. 

Our God is interested in both the CITY CHURCH as well as the DESERT [VILLAGE and RURAL – CHURCHES] too. Hence He’s awakening all on these anchor legs toward His coming. God’s SALVATION plan is the same for all in His HEAVENLY MANDATE commission. In advancing the kingdom cause of God and in keeping the enemy at bay, all must be included irrespective of status, colour, race, gender, and geographical location. 

And I am emboldened to say that despite what’s going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES as well as it is done in the CITY PLACES – for our God is not only the God of JEWS but also of the GENTILE World. And Gentile world means every other people beside the Jews. He’s the God of all – for in Him we all LIVE, MOVE, and HAVE our being. [Acts 17:24-31; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Romans 10:11-13; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Colossians 3:10-11; 1 Corinthians 1:21-24; Romans 1:16-17; Acts 20:20-21; Galatians 3:25-29]. 

Be it known that, no matter the confusion in the world today, God has an end plan in it, for the liberation of human lives without drones, guns and bombs; and it also goes beyond humanitarian aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places including the DESERT landscape as we see events unfolding day by day. 

Be it known also, as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan in His BLESSEDNESS is coming to pass. If you believe, say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40. 

The experience of Evangelist Philip in Acts 8, to be used of God in Samaria to establish a CITY CHURCH of multitudes and later on a DESERT CHURCH of one member, can only be possible with one who is following and in obedience – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE. How many today can make such decisions in their life, from the multitudes mandate to a single soul mandate? Hence, obeying the heavenly mandate will only be possible by God for the desert places to seek after Him too as in the city places. 

I pray that our God gives you the enabling wisdom in the knowing and understanding, that His global plan, purpose and pursuit, is unto the ends of the earth – from the cities to the desert places [wilderness – local, community, village], as long as there’s a soul there as Jesus did. 

“Then Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the MULTITUDES, He was moved with COMPASSION for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “THE HARVEST TRULY IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” Matthew 9:35-38/NKJV. 

In matters of the kingdom mandate, there’s no place and room for sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation to any; for God’s kingdom mandate in Christ Jesus’ stead, is irrespective of geography, gender, tongue, people and such like. Wherever you have found yourself doing the kingdom mandate, be assured that our God will ensure His mission through you in the grace of Christ Jesus’ stead will come to fruition and fulfilment. Amen.  

Be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in His mission mandate in the grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9. 

“The WILDERNESS and the SOLITARY PLACE shall be GLAD for them; and the DESERT shall rejoice, and BLOSSOM as the rose . . .” Isaiah 35. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in ALL THE WORLD for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the END come” Matthew 24:14. 

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17. 

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of HEAVEN and EARTH, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, SEEING HE GIVETH TO ALL LIFE, AND BREATH, AND ALL THINGS; 26 and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 for in him we LIVE, and MOVE, and HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device . . .” Acts 17:24-31. 

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law. 29 IS HE THE GOD OF THE JEWS ONLY? IS HE NOT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith” Romans 3:28-30. 

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be SAVED” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33. 

“But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, THERE IS NEITHER BOND NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:25-29. 

“And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is neither GREEK nor JEW, CIRCUMCISION nor UNCIRCUMCISION, BARBARIAN, SCYTHIAN, BOND NOR FREE: but Christ is ALL, and in ALL” Colossians 3:10-11. 

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, and the GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:21-24. 

“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

“Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY. . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40. 

SUMMARY: 

The whole message is a prophetic call to recognise that God’s salvation plan covers every place and every people — not just cities, but also deserts/wilderness areas. 

  1. Core Declaration
    We are in a season of awakening/revival. God’s salvation is active now and still coming. By the blood of Jesus, God’s covenant of redemption and blessing extends to “desert places” and “remote nations” just as much as to cities. 
  2. God’s Inclusive Mandate
    God’s plan is not partial. He cares for both CITY CHURCH and DESERT/VILLAGE/RURAL CHURCH. The Gospel mandate is for all: no matter city or wilderness, status, race, gender, or location. God’s redemptive plan includes all peoples — Jews and Gentiles alike — because in Him “we live, move, and have our being”. 
  3. Beyond Temporary Fixes
    God’s end-purpose goes deeper than politics, war, or aid. His plan brings true liberation from violence, poverty, sickness, and disease. Even the “desert places” will be touched. The end of human plans is where God’s plan begins. His redemption will come to pass. 
  4. Biblical Model: Philip in Acts 8
    Philip is used as the pattern: 
  • He preached in SAMARIA CITY → great joy, multitudes saved. 
  • Then he obeyed the Spirit into the DESERT ROAD → led one Ethiopian eunuch to salvation and baptism.   

The point: Obeying God’s mandate means being faithful to multitudes AND to one person. That kind of obedience only comes from God. If God can reach a desert road for one man, He can reach every desert place. 

  1. Prayer & Charge
    Prayer for wisdom to grasp God’s global purpose: from cities to villages/wilderness, wherever there’s a soul. The harvest is large everywhere; labourers are few. No room for bias, prejudice, or partiality in the Gospel. Wherever you are placed, God will fulfill His purpose through you by Christ’s grace. 
  2. Scriptural Foundation
    Loaded with Scripture to anchor it:
  • Psalm 72:8, Isa 35:1 – Deserts will bow and blossom before God. 
  • Matt 24:14 – Gospel to all nations, then the end. 
  • Acts 17:24-28 – God made all nations from one blood; in Him we live/move/be. 
  • Rom 1:16, Rom 3:29-30, Gal 3:28, Col 3:11 – No Jew/Gentile distinction in Christ; salvation for all. 
  • Acts 8 – Philip’s city + desert obedience. 
  1. Final Call
    Blessing is pronounced on all who join God’s mission by His grace. Reinforcing: God’s plan includes the desert, Jews + Gentiles, revival is here/coming. 

In one sentence: 
God is awakening His Church to obey the full Gospel mandate — taking salvation, healing, and deliverance to both crowded cities and forgotten deserts, for Jew and Gentile, because Jesus’ blood redeems every soul, everywhere.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT’S THE GIVEN AND ENTRUSTED ENABLING OF GRACE – MADE AVAILABLE TO ENRICH YOU IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD! 

“THE BLESSING of the Lord BRINGS [TRUE] RICHES, and He ADDS NO SORROW to it [for it comes as a BLESSING from God]” Proverbs 10:22/Amplified. 

” . . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED US with every spiritual BLESSING in the heavenly PLACES in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-12/NKJV. 

It’s high time to HARNESS in grace by faith, your FAITH walk with God in Christ Jesus’ stead, to live unhindered in the ABOVE ONLY realms of doing life and living godly. The BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and is ENTRUSTED to all that are born of God in Christ Jesus’ stead; and it’s AVAILABLE to all to enact and authenticate with no personal or group limitations; it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) as it’s of our redemption deeds of rights and privileges in the Kingdom for the kingdom cause of our God. 

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is NOT one to SHOW partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35/Amplified. 

And our God of promise and provider is faithful, true, sure, trustworthy and committed to ensure your rights and privileges in Him are not denied by any factors, be it – human placement, geographical location, tongue, tribes and gender, etc. For His BLESSEDNESS is unto all who call upon His name and are always in the YES and AMEN, without a doubt and no to His WORD. 

“But as God is FAITHFUL, our word to you was not YES and NO. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was NOT YES and NO, but in Him was YES. 20 For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/NKJV. 

“FAITHFUL and absolutely TRUSTWORTHY is He who is CALLING you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified. 

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, EVEN AS MANY AS the Lord our God shall CALL” Acts 2:38-39. 

And the BLESSEDNESS of God is given and entrusted to all, and it’s available to you today for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus’ stead. And it’s for the following reasons but not limited for you to enact and authenticate in grace by faith. Here are some reasons for this given, entrusted and available BLESSEDNESS of God: 

  •  That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby giving God thanks in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9/(NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2]. 
  •  That the Gospel might advance in grace, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. [Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9]. 
  •  That you have plenty, enough, and leftovers to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding, or complaining. [Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38]. 
  •  To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes and sway people away from the FAITH. Especially in their seeking answers to basic necessities of life and more, they thereby fall prey of ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper and achieve the desired needs and greatness. [Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3]. 
  •  To help cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness and such like; POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality lead to stealing, robbery, bribery, etc. [Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34]. 
  •  To keep and ESTABLISH the righteous in DOMINION – as overcomers, victorious, triumphant and more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus’ stead. [Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12].  
  •  To establish, enact and authenticate His covenant as promised in Christ Jesus. [Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17]. 

These and many, as may be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit within, indicate God’s graciousness and gracefulness in Christ Jesus  – to see you do life and live godly in righteousness, in the kingdom, on this side of the heavenly in our earthly temporary domain. The whole concept is the essence of you knowing and understanding your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Now that you know that the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and ENTRUSTED, and also AVAILABLE for you in grace, what manner of person OUGHT you to become in your path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead? This is to help you to be fulfilled meaningfully the purposefully while you are ENDOWED and ENTRUSTED with God’s BLESSEDNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS be BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE THE PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23. 

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

“. . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his OWN will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12. 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 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 1:1-4.

ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION 

By Leave a Comment

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

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE EFFICACIOUS BLOOD OF THE LAMB 

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFICACIOUS BLOOD OF THE LAMB: HAS POSITIONED US FOR TRIUMPH! 

“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. 

“. . . 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, TRIUMPHING over them in it” Colossians 2:6-15. 

The blood of Christ is the ANTIDOTE and ONSLAUGHT to all the problems which affect your wellbeing – be it spiritual, physical, marital, emotional, financial, moral, mental health etc. Our God wants us to live a triumphant life from the PLACE – POSITION – He has made us to be in Him. That is, for us to reign and to rule in power and dominion on the ground of what Christ has DONE in and FOR us; and not from our SITUATIONS and CIRCUMSTANCES as we most times do and want God’s BLESSEDNESS in it. Our God will make all things beautiful for your situation when you stay in the POSITION wherein Christ has made you free in Him. Psalm 48:1-2; Romans 5:1-2; 5-8; 17-21. 

The heroes of FAITH referred to in Hebrews chapter eleven, all overcame and triumphed by their faith testimony on the precious blood of the lamb which was slain for their redemption as well as ours from the foundation of the world as it’s written of them: 

“And all that dwell upon the earth shall WORSHIP him . . . the LAMB slain from the FOUNDATION of the world” Revelation 13:8b. 

They triumphed by their steadfast – unwavering – faith in and from the PLACE or POSITION in which their victory came – The blood of the Lamb. 

“And they OVERCAME him by THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

Therefore, see yourself from the position God has placed you in victory and triumph, and not from your place of defeat and failures. You ARE MORE THAN what you think you ARE in humanity when you have faith in what God, through His word in the redemption deed of Christ, speaks concerning you in Him. 

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. 

“That the communication (DECLARATION, SHARING, PROCLAMATION FELLOWSHIP) of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

“And hath RAISED US up together, and MADE US SIT together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6. 

“And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he RAISED HIM from the dead, and SET HIM AT HIS OWN RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES, 21 far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” Ephesians 1:19-21. 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

“As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are COMPLETE in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, TRIUMPHING over them in it” Colossians 2:6-15. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the power of the efficacious blood of the Lamb, which has positioned us for triumph in Christ Jesus. According to 2 Corinthians 2:14 and Colossians 2:6-15, we are caused to triumph in Christ, and the blood of Christ is the antidote to all problems affecting our wellbeing. 

Key points: 

  • The blood of Christ has positioned us for triumph and victory (2 Corinthians 2:14, Colossians 2:6-15).  
  • We should see ourselves from God’s perspective, in victory and triumph, not from our place of defeat and failures.  
  • We are more than what we think we are in humanity when we have faith in God’s word (Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 1:3, 19-21). 
  • The heroes of faith in Hebrews chapter eleven overcame and triumphed by their faith in the precious blood of the Lamb (Revelation 13:8b, Revelation 12:11). 
  • We are justified by faith and have access to God’s grace, where we stand and rejoice in hope of God’s glory (Romans 5:1-2).  
  • We are complete in Christ, seated with Him in heavenly places, and have all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3, 19-21, Colossians 2:6-15). 

The message encourages believers to: 

  • See themselves from God’s perspective, in victory and triumph. 
  • Have faith in God’s word and the redemption deed of Christ. 
  • Stand in the position God has placed them, in Christ Jesus. 
  • Rejoice in hope of God’s glory and declare God’s goodness. 

Ultimately, the message is one of empowerment and encouragement, reminding believers of their position in Christ and the triumph they have through His blood

REDEMPTION BLESSEDNESS

By Leave a Comment

REDEMPTION BLESSEDNESS: THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT – HE’S YOUR REALITY FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW! 

“Christ has REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit [Holy Spirit] through faith” Galatians 3:13-14 

Now that you are REDEEMED of God and lavished with the precious Holy Spirit of PROMISE in His BLESSEDNESS in the grace, it’s time you don’t only believe but by faith resolve to act accordingly, as He’s here for all and it’s irrespective; and He’s lavishly and abundantly given to us without prejudice, sentiments, and dissimulation. 

“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been ABUNDANTLY POURED out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/Amplified. 

It’s time to get DRUNK with the Holy Spirit for you to sing out your own Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and speak forth gracious wholesome [total] words, and sound coherent words, and making melodies to the Lord. For those who were REDEEMED sang a NEW sung and expressed it boldly in the grace instead of their old sung as when in their Sin and bondages of the enemy [Satan] and cohorts. And Jesus spoke gracious words and sang in Hymns and spiritual songs as our living example in humanity, and not the song of the depraved world that leads to defeats, sorrows and pains amid life challenges. 

“DO NOT GET DRUNK WITH WINE, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and CONSTANTLY guided by Him. 19 Speak to one another in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, [offering praise by] singing and MAKING MELODY with your heart to the Lord; 20 always GIVING THANKS to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 being SUBJECT to one another out of REVERENCE for Christ” Ephesians 5:18-21/Amplified. 

“And they SANG A NEW SONG, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have REDEEMED us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“So all bore witness to Him [Jesus], and marveled at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22. 

“And when they had SUNG A HYMN, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Matthew 26:40 [Mark 14:26]. 

You can’t afford to know you are now REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus in the grace and still remain in your old ways, in your unregenerate old songs, old beliefs, and such like, of living without God in this world; especially in the midst of our redemption possibilities as being made available, our reality and being assured by the Holy Spirit of promise. You’ve got no one to blame if you continue in your old song in the path of darkness, while the Holy Spirit of grace, who is now lavishly GIVEN to us, is there to ensure the assured redemption in the grace is readily available for you and all in love. 

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5. 

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of TRUTH, whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it neither SEES Him nor KNOWS Him; but you KNOW Him, for He DWELLS WITH you and will be IN you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you” John 14:15-18. 

“So I say to you, ASK, and it will be given to you; SEEK, and you will find; KNOCK, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to those who ASK Him!” Luke 11:9-13 [John 7:7; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8]. 

The Apostle, on the Pentecost day of RECEIVING the Holy Spirit of promised, were considered to be DRUNK of a NEW WINE by passerby and observers of that day; for their experience of RECEIVING Him as promised made them be seen or nicknamed a drunk people of a special NEW WINE. In the passerby’s eyes, they were highly intoxicated people with a kind of WINE that’s not common, in that it was making sense for goodness and the good and healthy living, and not the HYPE TYPE that keeps one as an idiotic person to be staggering on the roads, speaking jargons and incoherent statements ,and falling apart in gutters, and requiring a rescue and at an extreme cases a rehabilitation for normalcy to be restored for the individual, family, community and society’s good and goodness. 

“When the DAY OF PENTECOST had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it FILLED the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit and began to SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. 5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them SPEAK in his own language. 7 Then they were all AMAZED and MARVELED, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them SPEAKING in our own TONGUES THE WONDERFUL WORKS of God.” 12 So they were all AMAZED and PERPLEXED, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” 13 Others mocking said, “THEY ARE FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13. 

I’m not here teaching you or telling you about wine or no wine, lest we go out of context. I’m endeavouring to inform you about the person of the Holy Spirit and His works in a Believer’s life in the grace. And the need to receive Him as the promised blessedness in our redemption in Christ Jesus, and the necessity to know about Him before you fall into adulteration, falsehoods, distortion and religious made-up inclinations of men who tend to become intermediaries because of your own ignorance and lack of knowledge of Him in the grace. For the then passerby observers attributed to the Apostles as being drunk of Him – the NEW WINE, and they were the first early recipients of Him, the Holy Spirit of promise. And here are a few Scriptural contexts to take away, but not limited to, on what it means to be DRUNK in the world, besides the Holy Spirit in essence. 

“Wine is a MOCKER, STRONG drink a RIOTOUS BRAWLER; And whoever is INTOXICATED by it is not wise” Proverbs 20:1/Amplified. 

“Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way [of the Lord]. 20 Do not ASSOCIATE WITH HEAVY DRINKERS of wine, Or with GLUTTONOUS eaters of meat, 21 For the HEAVY DRINKER and the glutton will come to poverty, And the DROWSINESS [of OVERINDULGENCE] will clothe one with rags . . . 29 Who has WOE? Who has SORROW? Who has STRIFE? Who has COMPLAINING? Who has WOUNDS without cause? Whose EYES are red and dim? 30 Those who LINGER LONG over wine, Those who go to TASTE MIXED wine. 31 Do not look at wine when it is RED, When it SPARKLES in the glass, When it goes down smoothly. 32. At the last it BITES like a SERPENT And STINGS like a VIPER. 33 Your [drunken] eyes will SEE strange things And your MIND will UTTER PERVERSE things [UNTRUE things, TWISTED things]. 34 And you will be [as UNSTEADY] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea, And [as VULNERABLE to disaster] as one who lies down on the TOP of a ship’s mast, saying, 35 “They STRUCK me, but I was not HURT! They BEAT me, but I did not FEEL it! When will I wake up? I will seek more wine” Proverbs 23:19-21, 29-35. 

The promised HOLY SPIRIT, He’s our reality, to enjoy the fulness of all about our REDEMPTION in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus in this grace, generation, and dispensation. I urge you to take advantage of today’s knowledge and synchronise your faith to receive Him today and now, instead of chasing shadows and become a prey and victim because of your ignorance in knowing and understanding the truth that sets free in the grace. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“My PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will REJECT you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:6. 

“Therefore MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore SHEOL has ENLARGED itself And OPENED ITS MOUTH BEYOND MEASURE; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15. 

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

“But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER (COMFORTER, ADVOCATE, INTERCESSOR—COUNSELOR, STRENGTHENER, STANDBY) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Savior], and about righteousness, and about judgment: 9 about sin [and the true nature of it], because they do not believe in Me [and My message]; 10 about righteousness [personal integrity and godly character], because I am going to My Father and you will no longer see Me; 11 about judgment [the certainty of it], because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged and condemned. 12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear [to hear] them now. 13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future]. 14 He will glorify and honor Me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will take from what is Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Because of this I said that He [the Spirit] will take from what is Mine and will reveal it to you” John 16:7-15.

JESUS CHRIST – OUR REDEMPTION HAS JUSTIFIED US

JESUS CHRIST – OUR REDEMPTION HAS JUSTIFIED US: HE RECONCILED US TO GOD – WE ARE NOW FORGIVEN, ACQUITTED AND RECEIVED IN CHRIST JESUS! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

“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. 

“And you hath HE QUICKENED (MADE ALIVE), who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his GREAT LOVE wherewith he LOVED US, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath QUICKENED US together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 and hath RAISED US up together, and MADE US sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness TOWARD US through Christ Jesus. 8 FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: 9 NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. 10 For WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ORDAINED that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 that at that time ye were WITHOUT Christ, being ALIENS from the commonwealth of Israel, and STRANGERS from the covenants of promise, having NO HOPE, and WITHOUT God in the world: 13 but NOW in Christ Jesus ye who SOMETIMES WERE FAR OFF ARE MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. 14 For HE IS OUR PEACE, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore YE ARE NO MORE strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit” Ephesians 2:1-22 (Emphasis Mine). 

“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, anTherefore, 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 [a]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 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.
