GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL 

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL: THE DESERT LAND AWAKENING REVIVAL HAS COME AND IS COMING! 

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

“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” Acts 8:26-27. 

The Ministry of the GOSPEL of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, as commissioned for THE LOCAL CHURCH — which is you — that our Father God is building [Matthew 16:13-20; Ephesians 4:11-16], in Christ Jesus, is of these segments: 

  1. The Ministry to the LORD — An ACT OF WORSHIP. 
  2. The Ministry to the BODY OF CHRIST — An ACT OF DISCIPLESHIP. 
  3. The Ministry to the WORLD — An ACT OF EVANGELISM/MISSION [SOUL WINNING]. 

The Gospel assignments of our Lord God are enormous. However, the third segment, which is the MINISTRY TO THE WORLD through evangelism and mission outreach for soul winning, is the main context in this writ, because it is the basis to have and establish the first and second segments into reality. 

And the missionary mandate for me cuts across all regions, as long as there is a soul there to minister to the well-being with the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, just as Philip did in Acts 8:5-8, 26-40. That is the joy of visiting the provincial headquarters of a friend’s Church that is under construction in a gracious community to preach the Gospel with the megaphone. 

And how much I cherish going to the remote places — VILLAGES — to reach out to souls, more than merely reaching out to the municipal multitudes especially in the CITIES. 

“Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every CITY and VILLAGE, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, [2] and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, [3] and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance” Luke 8:1-3/NKJV. 

There in the remote places you see originality and genuine repentance, and a willingness of souls to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him WORTHILY, in Christ Jesus’ stead. And I found the same mission in Christ Jesus for humanity, as He carried out the Father God’s Gospel assignment concerning Him, as it is written in the Scriptures above in Luke and below in Matthew: 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the GOSPEL of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35. 

Assuredly and certainly — The DESERT and remote NATIONS shall BOW and SERVE the Lord God. The eternal Blood of Jesus Christ for human salvation in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS belongs to all, including those in the wilderness/deserted places too. 

For in God’s plan, there is NEITHER Jew nor Greek/Gentile, there is neither bond nor free, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for everyone is QUALIFIED to access God through Christ Jesus for their salvation. [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 3:10-11; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-28; Romans 1:14-15] 

I am emboldened to say that despite what is going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES — for our God is not only the God of THE JEWS but also of THE GENTILES’ world, for both make up THE CHURCH OF GOD that He is raising and building in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“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 (1 Corinthians 1:18-24). 

The confusion in the world today has an end – for the liberation of human lives without artillery, drones, guns and bombs; and also goes beyond humanitarian and charitable aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places, including the DESERT landscape, as we see happening today in good- hearted causes. 

Be it known as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS is coming to pass. If you believe, say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus’ stead. For the DESERT and REMOTE NATIONS SHALL ALSO BOW AND SERVE GOD, AS SHALL THOSE ALSO IN THE CITIES. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

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. 

“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. 

“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. 

“I am DEBTOR both to the GREEKS, and to the BARBARIANS; both to the WISE, and to the UNWISE. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the GOSPEL to you that are at Rome also” Romans 1:14-15. 

“But now ye also PUT OFF all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have PUT OFF the old man with his deeds; 10 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 3:8-11. 

“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” Galatians 3:27-28. 

“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 . . . 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. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him . . .” Acts 8:5-8, 26-40. 

SUMMARY 

The message is a prophetic and apostolic declaration that GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL — including the DESERT and remote nations. It calls THE LOCAL CHURCH back to her 3-fold commission, with emphasis on MISSION/EVANGELISM as the basis for WORSHIP and DISCIPLESHIP. Using Christ and Philip as models, it affirms that true revival is breaking forth in VILLAGES and DESERT PLACES, where souls respond with genuine repentance, and that God is building ONE CHURCH from both JEWS and GENTILES through the REDEMPTION and BLOOD of Jesus Christ. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE 3 SEGMENTS OF GOSPEL MINISTRY FOR THE LOCAL CHURCH
  • Ministry to the LORD — An ACT OF WORSHIP 
  • Ministry to the BODY OF CHRIST — An ACT OF DISCIPLESHIP 
  • Ministry to the WORLD — An ACT OF EVANGELISM/MISSION [SOUL WINNING] — Matthew 16:13-20; Ephesians 4:11-16 
  • The third segment is the main focus here, because it is the basis to establish the first two. Without reaching the lost, the Church cannot be built or discipled. 
  1. THE DESERT LAND AWAKENING REVIVAL HAS COME
  • Prophetic proof: Psalm 72:9 — “They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him”. 
  • New Testament pattern: Jesus went through every CITY and VILLAGE preaching – Luke 8:1-3. He also taught in CITIES and VILLAGES – Matthew 9:35. 
  • Philip model: Sent by an angel to the DESERT road to Gaza to meet the Ethiopian eunuch – Acts 8:26-27. He also preached in Samaria with signs, and great JOY followed – Acts 8:5-8. 
  • Application: There is originality, genuine repentance, and willingness to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him WORTHILY in remote VILLAGES. 
  1. GOD’S SALVATION IS FOR ALL PEOPLE GROUPS
  • The eternal Blood of Christ in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS belongs to all, including wilderness/deserted places. 
  • In God’s plan there is NEITHER Jew nor Greek/Gentile, bond nor free, male nor female, Barbarian nor Scythian — all are QUALIFIED to access God through Christ – Galatians 3:26-28; Colossians 3:10-11. 
  • God is not only the God of THE JEWS but also of THE GENTILES – Romans 3:28-30. Both make up THE CHURCH OF GOD that He is raising in Christ Jesus’ stead – 1 Corinthians 10:32-33. 
  • The Gospel is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that believes, to the JEW first and also to the GREEK – Romans 1:16-17. 
  1. THE MISSIONARY MANDATE AND HEART
  • The missionary mandate cuts across all regions where there is a soul. 
  • The joy is in going to provincial Churches under construction and to VILLAGES, more than only targeting municipal multitudes in CITIES. 
  • Paul’s posture: “I am DEBTOR both to the GREEKS, and to the BARBARIANS; both to the WISE, and to the UNWISE” – Romans 1:14-15. 
  • The GOSPEL must be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations – Matthew 24:14. 
  1. THE CONTRAST: GOD’S WAY VS THE WORLD’S WAY
  • The confusion in the world will end. Liberation will not come through artillery, drones, guns and bombs. 
  • It goes beyond humanitarian aid. God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS is coming to pass to prevent POVERTY and cure SICKNESSES and DISEASES, even in the DESERT landscape. 
  • The end of man is just the beginning of our God. DESERT and REMOTE NATIONS SHALL BOW AND SERVE GOD, AS SHALL THOSE ALSO IN THE CITIES. 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. EMBRACE THE MISSION. As THE LOCAL CHURCH, prioritise the MINISTRY TO THE WORLD. Go as Philip went — to DESERT roads, VILLAGES and cities. 
  2. BELIEVE AND DECREE. Say AMEN in Christ Jesus’ stead. Believe that God’s SALVATION is breaking forth into DESERT PLACES now. 
  3. LIVE WITHOUT PARTIALITY. Treat all as QUALIFIED in Christ. No Jew/Gentile, bond/free, male/female division in the Gospel. 
  4. PAUSE AND PONDER – SELAH. Reflect on God’s REDEMPTION plan. Let the Church be built on WORSHIP, DISCIPLESHIP and SOUL WINNING. 

Final Word: 
GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL. The DESERT LAND AWAKENING REVIVAL HAS COME AND IS COMING. The Church is being raised from every nation, tribe and wilderness. AMEN.

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT: FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS – MADE POSSIBLE IN THE JUSTIFICATION OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD – IN OUR REDEMPTION! 

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

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Are you one of those who CAN FORGIVE but CAN’T FORGET, or who CAN’T FORGIVE and CAN’T FORGET? Do you still go FISHING in the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? I mean cutting off your nose to spite on your face? Do you want to live WHOLE again – free from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge, rancour and such like? There i is hope in REDEMPTION. You can POSSESS your WHOLENESS in Redemption again; For it i is all MADE possible in OUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in CHRIST JESUS’’ stead. AMEN. 

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, government and governance – are being ruined every day and every way because of the inability to FORGIVE and to FORGET; and to move FORWARD, which is an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace to succeed. 

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, RANCOUR, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like. You can set yourself FREE from nursing and living on hurt, through God’s unconditional LOVE that surpasses and transcends human comprehension and understanding as displayed in Christ Jesus’ LOVE – a love that is without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. You can then take the step of love in faith to INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY hand over the hurt and haunting of not forgiving and not forgetting to God in Christ Jesus, who has justified all – including you – in love. This is the pathway to deal with the spirit of not forgiving and forgetting – and this is applicable to all, in all matter of doing life and living godly in the context of the scripture, and not according to our own wish or intention that results in revenge, evil and wickedness. 

“May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, [18] be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; [19] and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:16-19/Amplified. 

“There is NO FEAR in love; but PERFECT love casteth out fear: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:18. 

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease is to let JUSTIFICATION in God’s love in Christ Jesus play the means, the definitional route and the role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That is the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, ONWARDS and UPWARDS – on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all to be WHOLE again in Him. 

“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. 

He did not only FORGIVE us IN our sins and shortfalls – –  evils and wickedness and more – but He JUSTIFIED us, which is the antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARDS, INWARDS and ONWARDS day to day life of grace. 

To JUSTIFY is to declare you guiltless, discharged and free -that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done. This is what God accomplished by the eternal DONE DEED of Christ in our REDEMPTION; to set us free with NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE attached; in order to erase our PAST, wherein our iniquity has been buried in the sea of FORGETFULNESS. 

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19. 

Hence to say that the New Creation in Christ has no PAST. And when you act in the same spirit towards others, you will live free of BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such; otherwise it hunts and hurts as a cancerous disease in the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET. 

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS ARE POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION! 

I pray God’s grace and blessings upon you in this light. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19. 

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are PASSED away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye RECONCILED to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who KNEW no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

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

“Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:20-21. 

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I SAY unto you, THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall SMITE thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, DO good to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:38-48. 

“There is NO FEAR in love; but PERFECT love casteth out fear: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:18. 

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

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

SUMMARY 
The message is a redemptive declaration and call to wholeness through the JUSTIFICATION we have in Christ Jesus. It teaches that FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS are not human striving, but the direct fruit of God’s DONE DEED in REDEMPTION. When we embrace our identity as a NEW CREATION with no PAST, we are set free from BITTERNESS, WRATH, REVENGE and every cancerous hurt, and we begin to walk UPWARDS, INWARDS and ONWARDS in God’s grace.

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: JUSTIFICATION IN CHRIST
  • God did not only FORGIVE us, He JUSTIFIED us. To JUSTIFY is to declare you guiltless, discharged and ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never sinned. 
  • This was accomplished by the eternal DONE DEED of Christ. In REDEMPTION there is NO FISHING NET OF REMEMBRANCE attached. Our iniquity is buried in the sea of FORGETFULNESS – Micah 7:18-19. 
  • Because of this, the New Creation in Christ HAS NO PAST – 2 Corinthians 5:17. We now have ACCESS into GRACE and PEACE with God – Romans 5:1-2.
  1. THE PROBLEM: “FISHING ON YOUR HURT”
  • Refusing to FORGIVE and FORGET becomes a cancerous disease that hunts and hurts the one carrying it. 
  • It produces BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE, RANCOR and WICKEDNESS. 
  • Many can FORGIVE but CAN’T FORGET, or CAN’T do either. Going back to the PAST to hurt the PRESENT is like “cutting off your nose to spite your face.”
  1. THE ANTIDOTE: GOD’S LOVE AND REDEMPTION RIGHTS
  • The antidote to forgive and forget with ease is to let JUSTIFICATION in God’s love in Christ Jesus define all forms of FORGIVENESS. 
  • God’s love in Christ Jesus is unconditional, without sentiment, prejudice or dissimulation. PERFECT LOVE casts out FEAR and TORMENT – 1 John 4:18. 
  • We are to intentionally hand over hurt to God, and walk in our REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus.
  1. THE CALL TO ACTION: LIVE WHOLE AND RECONCILED
  • Forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS, and accept GOD’S forgiveness. This guarantees you graciousness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS. 
  • Act in the same spirit towards others. When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, He makes even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him – Proverbs 16:7. 
  • OVERCOME evil with good: FEED your enemy, GIVE drink to the thirsty, BLESS those who curse you, PRAY for those who persecute you – Romans 12:20-21, Matthew 5:44. 
  • Be AMBASSADORS of RECONCILIATION, not carriers of revenge – 2 Corinthians 5:18-20. 
  • Be rooted and grounded in LOVE, and experience the width, length, height and depth of Christ’s LOVE – Ephesians 3:16-19.
  1. THE RESULT: WHOLENESS AND FORWARD MOVEMENT
  • Wholeness in spirit, soul and body comes when we move FORWARD — ONWARDS and UPWARDS — on what God DID in Christ. 
  • Individuals, families, businesses, communities and nations are ruined daily because of the inability to FORGIVE and FORGET. Redemption offers the way out. 
     

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. STOP FISHING ON YOUR HURT.
    Make a decision today: NO MORE digging up the PAST. Let God bury it in the sea of FORGETFULNESS.

  2. RECEIVE AND WALK IN JUSTIFICATION.  
    Declare daily: “I am guiltless, discharged and free in Christ.” Let that truth govern how you treat yourself and others.

  3. CHOOSE LOVE IN ACTION.  
    Pray for those who hurt you. Bless them. Feed them. Refuse revenge. Let God’s love through you be the proof of your redemption.

  4. BE FILLED AND ENERGIZED BY THE SPIRIT.  
    Ask God to strengthen your inner man so Christ can dwell in your heart and you can comprehend His love – Ephesians 3:16-19.

ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION REALITIES AND PRIVILEGES 

By Leave a Comment

ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION REALITIES AND PRIVILEGES: NO MORE FINGERS POINTING AND MIDDLEMAN/MEN FOR US TOWARD GOD IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“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. 

My dearly beloved believing child of God, it’s time you rise up with head up, shoulders high and on the high and higher heels of faith in Christ Jesus — it’s because there is no more place or opportunity for blame-gaming. 

For in our redemption, there is NO MORE FINGER POINTING, MIDDLE-MAN AGENCY or RELIGIOUS GAME-PLAYING on our behalf by any man TOWARD OUR FATHER GOD IN CHRIST JESUS — our Saviour and Lord, and soon-coming King for all eternity. 

“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is NONE other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be SAVED” Acts 4:12. 

“For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:5-6. 

In consequence to the scripture of Romans 5:1-2; and these other following scriptures — [2 Corinthians 1:20-22; Romans 8:28-30; Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified; 1 Corinthians 1:9 etc], and however not being limited in respect to our redemption in Christ Jesus, we have and can have a standing to express earnestly and declare that Jesus Christ has become our REDEMPTION. 

And in our REDEMPTION, we can boldly say without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation all these and more that:

  • He has REDEEMED us back to God.
  • He has JUSTIFIED us in God
  • He has CALLED us to God
  • He has RECONCILED us to God
  • He has GIVEN us ACCESS to God
  • He has QUALIFIED us
  • He has CHOSEN us
  • He has BLESSED us
  • He has DELIVERED us to God
  • He has GLORIFIED us
  • He has PREDESTINED us
  • He has TRANSLATED us from the KINGDOM and DOMINION of darkness to God, so that we are no longer REFURBISHED and REFORMED people
  • He has ANOINTED and SEALED us
  • He has EMPOWERED us
  • He has LOVED us
  • He has ABOUNDED toward us
  • He has MADE us ACCEPTED in the Beloved
  • He has OBTAINED an INHERITANCE for us
  • He has ESTABLISHED and CONFIRMED us
  • He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us
  • He has GIVEN us the Blessed Holy Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE, a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the fulfilment of His promise of eternal LIFE in and to us
  • Much more and ABOVE all else that we ARE — FORGIVEN, ACQUITED and RECEIVED by our Father God in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Therefore, there is no more CONDEMNATION in God in Christ Jesus — Romans 8:1-2. No more FINGER-POINTING and MIDDLEMEN to rob you of your REDEMPTION REALITIES and PRIVILEGES in God, because of what Jesus Christ has done and is doing, who now has become and is our REDEMPTION in God. 

And you can now ENACT and AUTHENTICATE your triumph, your victory, your overcoming realm and your more-than-conqueror testimony of God, in Christ Jesus — Romans 8:1-2; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 John 5:4-5; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Ephesians 1:1-23; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“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. 

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21. 

“That being JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, we should be MADE heirs according to the hope of eternal life” Titus 3:7. 

“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. 

“There is THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION to them which ARE in Christ Jesus, who WALK not AFTER the flesh, but AFTER the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath MADE me FREE from the law of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2. 

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he LOVED US, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins . . . We love him, because he first LOVED US” 1 John 4:10, 19. 

“. . . 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 . . . 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence . . . 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 . . .” Ephesians 1:1-11. 

11For as many as ARE the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God. 21 Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [EMPOWERING us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a security deposit to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22 AMPLIFIED. 

“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). 

“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven GIVEN among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12. 

“For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man CHRIST JESUS” 1 Timothy 2:5. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a triumphant charge titled ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION REALITIES AND PRIVILEGES: NO MORE FINGERS POINTING AND MIDDLEMAN/MEN FOR US TOWARD GOD IN CHRIST JESUS! 
It declares that because of Christ’s finished work, every believer now has direct access to God with no blame-gaming, no middle-man agency, and no religious game-playing. Anchored in Romans 5:1-2, the message lists 20+ redemption realities we now possess in Christ — justification, access, qualification, inheritance, sealing, etc. It teaches that Jesus alone is our Salvation, Mediator and Redemption, and therefore there is now NO CONDEMNATION. The call is to rise up, boldly profess these realities, and ENACT and AUTHENTICATE our victory, triumph and more-than-conqueror testimony in Christ Jesus.

POSSESSING YOUR REDEMPTION POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

POSSESSING YOUR REDEMPTION POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS: THE “DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES” MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH COMMUNICATION! 

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULT ORIENTED, EFFECTIVE] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 6/Emphasis mine. 

Beloved in Christ, enough of the self-defeated mindset of complain-hallelujah lifestyle you live – day in and day out; and much more, as you have proclaimed by way of a stamp over these years in circles and circuses. It is your time in Christ Jesus to ENACT, ENSURE and ACTUALISE the essence of being born of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

There is the DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus; but it is your prerogative to ASK, SEEK and KNOCK after it in order to make it a reality for you. You ASK, SEEK and KNOCK to obtain because you have ACKNOWLEDGED this good deed of God in Christ Jesus’ stead concerning you. God knows you have a need, but He wants your fellowship participation to make the deal yours and not someone else’s. Hence the call to ASK, to SEEK and to KNOCK that you might RECEIVE in the grace: 

“ASK, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that ASKETH receiveth; and he that SEEKETH findeth; and to him that KNOCKETH it shall be opened” Matthew 7:7-8 

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible by these, but not limited to: 

  • FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of what Christ Jesus – His FINISHED WORK – has DONE for you and for all who are in Him.
    “. . . the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 
  • AND SECONDLY, by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL areas of living life, even as it is written: 

That the COMMUNICATION OF YOUR FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) . . .” Philemon 1:6. 

And until you can ENSURE, ENACT and ACTUALISE the essence of the REDEMPTION of Christ in you and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ to life matters will always be a struggle, strange, tasking and burdensome in many ways – which is contrary to God’s gracious WORD in 1 John 5:3. It is because of these limitations that there are many, unfortunately, ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians around, despite their long-standing efforts in the Churches of Christ, their unending fasting and prayers, and the various set traditional dogmas, creeds, and religious steps they might have taken to make the essence of REDEMPTION real in EVERY AREA of doing life. Beloved in Christ Jesus, these OUGHT not to be so, knowing and understanding all that Christ Jesus has BECOME to us in Him by REDEMPTION. 

You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT it through PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ – of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised and given HOLY SPIRIT. 

Here are a few REASONS to seek for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of all that God — His FINISHED WORK — DID for you in Christ Jesus, in order to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION: 

That a man’s ignorance is his own mountain, but the KNOWLEDGE of the truth gives freedom and dominion — John 8:32 

That KNOWLEDGE will deliver you from life and scriptural errors, and helps you engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore — Matthew 22:29 

  • That your dominion in life is a product of your KNOWLEDGE — Daniel 11:32
  • That a man’s value for KNOWLEDGE determines his ultimate worth — Isaiah 33:6 
  • That KNOWLEDGE is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage — Luke 11:52
  • That the GRACE that determines our status is a function of KNOWLEDGE — 2 Peter 1:2
  • That when you run after KNOWLEDGE, goodness and mercy run after you — Proverbs 1:22, 29-33
  • That people who hate KNOWLEDGE cannot secure heaven’s favour — Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15
  • That age is not equal to KNOWLEDGE, and should not be taken for KNOWLEDGE — Job 32:7-9
  • That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated — Proverbs 24:5
  • That when you add a little MORE KNOWLEDGE to your life daily, you live a little better — Proverbs 4:18
  • That whatever you have no value for, you have no access to — Mark 6:5-6
  • That studying for KNOWLEDGE is not a transferable responsibility — 2 Timothy 2:15
  • That the only authentic proof of KNOWLEDGE is freedom and liberty — John 8:32
  • That when you don’t grow in the spirit of KNOWLEDGE, you end up groaning in life — 2 Peter 3:18 
  • That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you — Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24
  • That your KNOWLEDGE of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow — John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6
  • And that you cannot POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured KNOWLEDGE — Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29  

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL — productive, result-oriented, effective — by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” — Philemon 1:6 Emphasis mine 

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 6:10-12; Obadiah 1:17; Deuteronomy 1:6-8; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a call to POSSESS your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus by KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, and EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION, so that the “DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES” already engraved in your name becomes a lived reality. 

It confronts the cycle of religious striving, complaint and empty confessions, and insists that REDEMPTION is a FINISHED DEED. Our responsibility is to APPROPRIATE it through personal KNOWLEDGE and active partnership with God. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. REDEMPTION is a DONE DEED with a DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES 
    In Christ Jesus, God has already secured your rights and privileges. Your name is ENGRAVED in that deed by virtue of the new birth. But possession requires your participation.
  2. Faith must be COMMUNICATED to become EFFECTUAL 
    Philemon 1:6 — “That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN thee in Christ Jesus.” 
    Faith is productive and result-oriented when you ACKNOWLEDGE what Christ has DONE IN YOU, FOR YOU, WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU.
  3. ASK, SEEK, KNOCK is the pattern of appropriation 
    God knows your need, but He requires fellowship participation. Matthew 7:7-8 shows that receiving, finding and open doors come to those who ASK, SEEK and KNOCK. This is how you make the deed yours and not someone else’s.
  4. Two pillars that make REDEMPTION reality: 
  • ACKNOWLEDGING the DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM because of Christ’s FINISHED WORK.
  • UNDERSTANDING the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS

Ignorance is the enemy of possession 
18 reasons are given, but the core is: Ignorance builds mountains. KNOWLEDGE gives freedom, dominion, grace, and access. Religion without KNOWLEDGE produces bondage, groaning, and a “complain-hallelujah” lifestyle of AMEN and BLESS ME Christians. 
 
KNOWLEDGE is personal and non-transferable 
Age does not equal KNOWLEDGE. Studying is your responsibility — 2 Timothy 2:15. The proof of true KNOWLEDGE is liberty — John 8:32. When you seek God in KNOWLEDGE, your life is secured and people will seek you — Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24. 
 

Without ENACTING, ENSURING and ACTUALISING REDEMPTION, faith becomes burdensome 
This contradicts 1 John 5:3. Fasting, prayers, dogmas and creeds cannot replace PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 

Call to Action 

  1. STOP the self-defeated, complain-hallelujah cycle. Choose to grow beyond empty confessions. 
  2. ACKNOWLEDGE every GOOD THING that is IN YOU in Christ Jesus. Consciously declare and agree with the DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES you have in Him. 
  3. PURPOSEFULLY PURSUE KNOWLEDGE — Study the Word, 2 Timothy 2:15. Update your thoughts daily so your life does not become outdated — Proverbs 24:5. 
  4. COMMUNICATE YOUR FAITH EFFECTUALLY — Take what you KNOW and apply it to LIFE and GODLINESS. ASK, SEEK and KNOCK until you RECEIVE. 
  5. ENACT, ENSURE and ACTUALISE what Christ has FINISHED for you. Move from knowing about REDEMPTION to POSSESSING your POSSESSION. 

Final charge: Redemption is FINISHED. Possession is by KNOWLEDGE. What you ACKNOWLEDGE, you APPROPRIATE. What you APPROPRIATE, you POSSESS. AMEN. GO AFTER KNOWLEDGE AND ENFORCE WHAT IS YOURS!

MORE THAN CONQUERORS 

By Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION! 

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through HIM that LOVED us” Romans 8:37 

IT’S TIME TO APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE THE NEEDED ENABLING OF WHO YOU ARE AS MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS. 

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was and is, to ENSURE and AUTHENTICATE that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVES and GIVES GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM. 

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us to STAY AFLOAT as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. 

There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to APPROPRIATE and ENACT them on earth. 

Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there is a STRUGGLE with the seven in the Believer’s day-to-day living. But WHY? 

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the course of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people KNOW that what God has given them only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY. 

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you RECEIVE and ACCEPT it with thanks. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. 

Unfortunately, the continuous attitude of ASKING for the same thing is what most Believers have made their practice in Prayers, even in their FASTING GALORE to measure spirituality; and instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS they are ASKING and ASKING and ASKING… 

Instead of them to see the need to maintain a HEART of GRATITUDE as the ATTITUDE in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

Most times Believers are occupied with programs that are more or less attached with religious obligations, traditions/customs of men, oblations and bye-laws, dogmas, and such like; and these in most cases have kept us in a particular routine and setting with no substance that can do us any good in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

We FAST and PRAY for the same thing and stay in the same acts and process just because it seems good, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERROR and UNSCRIPTURALLY. 

That is not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus; and as such, we cannot APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY, COMPLETELY and at the same time live as MORE THAN CONQUERORS in our REDEMPTION.  

Therefore, it is your TIME to EXPRESS in order to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE your FAITH with the heartfelt attitude of RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING, which is the PRINCIPLE CORE to your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEALS for us in Christ as stated: 

  1. POWER (Authority) — In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc. [Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7]
  2. RICHES (Prosperity) — In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc. [3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3]
  3. WISDOM (Mental) — Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc. [James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52]
  4. STRENGTH (Physique) — In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc. [Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30]
  5. HONOUR (Dignity) — In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc. [Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21]
  6. GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) — In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc. [Isaiah 61:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9]
  7. BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) — In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc. [Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4]

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our lives accordingly. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

“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. 

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18. 

“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11. 

SUMMARY 
The message is A CHARGE TO BELIEVERS TO STOP BEGGING FOR WHAT REDEMPTION HAS ALREADY GIVEN AND TO BEGIN APPROPRIATING AND ENACTING OUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES AS “MORE THAN CONQUERORS” IN CHRIST JESUS. 

It teaches that God has already ENSURED and AUTHENTICATED our victory in Redemption, and Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us Gifts, Blessings and Enablement as our inheritance. The struggle in the church today is not lack, but failure to RECEIVE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. OUR POSITION IN REDEMPTION
  • God’s gracious act in Redemption was to ENSURE and AUTHENTICATE that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION — Romans 8:37 
  • Christ RECEIVES and GIVES GIFTS to us as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES IN HIM to enable us to STAY AFLOAT as conquerors.
  1. WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN: 7 + 5
  • Seven (7) Spiritual Blessings which are FIRSTLY in heavenly places: POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, BLESSING — [Revelation 5:12, Ephesians 1:3] 
  • Five (5) Ministerial Gifts: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers — [Ephesians 4:11] 
  • We can see the 5 Ministerial Gifts in operation today, but there is a STRUGGLE with the 7 Spiritual Blessings in the Believer’s day-to-day living.
  1. THE PROBLEM: ASKING INSTEAD OF RECEIVING
  • Many Believers live in religious routines, traditions, dogmas and “FASTING GALORE” yet keep ASKING and ASKING for what God has already GIVEN. 
  • This is praying AMISS, in ERROR and UNSCRIPTURALLY — James 4:3 
  • What God has given only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING to APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY. 
  • When you are given a gift, you don’t keep asking for it. You RECEIVE and GIVE THANKS.
  1. THE PRINCIPLE: GRATITUDE RAISES ALTITUDE
  • Instead of ASKING, we need a HEART of GRATITUDE as the ATTITUDE that will enhance our ALTITUDE in life and godliness in God’s BLESSEDNESS. 
  • The 7 Redemption Done Deals are for: 
  • POWER — instead of fear [Luke 10:19] 
     
  • RICHES — instead of lack [2 Corinthians 8:9] 
     
  • WISDOM — instead of ignorance [James 1:5] 
     
  • STRENGTH — instead of sickness [Philippians 4:13] 
     
  • HONOUR — instead of shame [Ephesians 1:7] 
     
  • GLORY — instead of reproach [Isaiah 61:3] 
     
  • BLESSING — instead of curses [Proverbs 10:22] 
     
  1. THE SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION
  • “Who HATH BLESSED us with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY places in Christ” — Ephesians 1:3 
  • “He ASCENDED… and GAVE gifts unto men” — Ephesians 4:8 
  • “Worthy is the Lamb… to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM…” — Revelation 5:12

HEALING And HEALTH – The REDEEMED Bread

HEALING And HEALTH – The REDEEMED Bread: Made Possible In REDEMPTION! 

“For I will RESTORE health unto thee, and I will HEAL thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, this is Zion, whom no man seeketh after” Jeremiah 30:17. 

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper AND BE IN HEALTH, even as thy soul prospereth” 3 John 1:2. 

You can INVOKE — ENACT and AUTHENTICATE — now and always, 24/7, your REDEMPTION DEED of rights and privileges — as touching HEALING and HEALTH as the Scriptures do enjoin. 

And your JUSTIFICATION by the act of FAITH in Christ Jesus GUARANTEES your ACCESS into this grace wherein you can STAND EMBOLDENED, to your rights and privileges as touching HEALING and HEALTH in redemption. 

“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. 

You need no middle person to play godfather or godmother to your access and standing in this grace, wherein God has certified you in His REDEMPTION DEED that endorses your rights and privileges in HEALING and HEALTH. 

“And ye shall SERVE the Lord your God, and he shall BLESS thy bread, and thy water; AND I WILL TAKE SICKNESS AWAY FROM THE MIDST OF THEE. 26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the NUMBER OF THY DAYS I WILL FULFIL” Exodus 23:25-26. 

Today, in this particular moment, I do challenge you to rise up to enjoy your healing and health in life and godly living, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“He sent HIS WORD, and HEALED them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20 

All it takes to enact and authenticate is having a scriptural medication on the health and healing WORD, as Jesus is the healing and health WORD that was sent to make us whole – spirit, soul and body. Amen [1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14; 3 John 1:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13]. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: 

“. . . 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the CHILDREN’S BREAD, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, GREAT IS THY FAITH: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. AND HER DAUGHTER WAS MADE WHOLE from that very hour” Matthew 15:21-28. 

“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED” Isaiah 53:4-5. 

“Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED” 1 Peter 2:23-24. 

“When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits WITH HIS WORD, AND HEALED ALL THAT WERE SICK: 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES, AND BARE OUR SICKNESSES” Matthew 8:16-17. 

“He sent HIS WORD, and HEALED them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20 

“GIVING THANKS unto the Father, which hath MADE US MEET TO BE PARTAKERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS IN LIGHT: 13 who hath DELIVERED US from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED US into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:12-14. 

“And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 26 and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I WILL PUT NONE OF THESE DISEASES UPON THEE, WHICH I HAVE BROUGHT UPON THE EGYPTIANS: FOR I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE” Exodus 15:25-26. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified.

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER 

By Leave a Comment

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. 

SUMMARY: 

This message is a Kingdom teaching and charge on balancing CHARISMA with CHARACTER through the Holy Spirit to live a victorious, sustained Christian life in Redemption. 

  1. THE SOURCE: THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE ANOINTING
  • DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION. 
  • The believer has received the ANOINTING — the SPECIAL gift, the preparation — which REMAINS PERMANENTLY in you 1 John 2:27. 
  • The Holy Spirit as the COMFORTER TEACHES you all things, BRINGS things to remembrance, and gives insight John 14:25-26. 
  • “The LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 
  • The Holy Spirit is the PERSONALITY that ENABLES God’s GRACE to activate genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. 
  1. DEFINITION AND ROLE OF CHARISMA
  • Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness, especially for the born again believer in Christ Jesus. 
  • CHARISMA refers to capacity, productivity and talents. It is an act of the GIFTS of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27. 
  • CHARISMA can TAKE you to the TOP — through capacity, talents, riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more. 
  • But CHARISMA alone is NOT SUSTAINABLE in the course of time without character. 
  1. DEFINITION AND ROLE OF CHARACTER
  • CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain CHARISMA in doing life and living godly, and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life IN REDEMPTION Romans 8:37, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  • CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY, HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHINESS and TRUTH and such like, produced in the Holy Spirit. 
  • CHARACTER is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16. 
  • Without CHARACTER, CHARISMA is of NO PURPOSE. It makes the whole purpose of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. 
  • Only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and the essence of CHARACTER will sustain you at the top with honour and dignity. 
  1. THE MANDATE: BALANCE AND BUILD UP
  • CHARISMA and CHARACTER are ESSENTIALS to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY. 
  • There is a NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues on A daily basis. 
  • To ensure genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER, you must be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ. 
  • “BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith… pray in the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God” Jude 20-21. 
  • Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing CHARISMA AND CHARACTER makes DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus A COMPLETE GOSPEL. 
  1. WARNING AND WISDOM NUGGET

WISDOM NUGGET: 
“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.” 

Most people are carried away by CHARISMA, forgetting that without CHARACTER it will not last. 

  1. FINAL CHARGE

God has given you the ANOINTING that abides. He has given you GIFTS for CHARISMA and FRUIT for CHARACTER. 
Build up, remain in Him, walk by the Spirit, and let both charisma and character reflect Christ, so your life becomes a complete Gospel.

BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

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.

SUMMARY: 

This message is a declaration of liberty for every Believer. Because of Christ’s blood and God’s rich mercy, we have been JUSTIFIED, FREED, and QUALIFIED.

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.
