DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST! 

Write the vision, MAKE it plain – simplified, READ to understand, then RUN with grace, wisdom and speed. Hallelujah! What a principle to apply to the heavenly mandate in all that pertains to doing life and living godly. Amen. 

I cannot help but take 30years to READ the VISION as Jesus did, then RUN with the READ and UNDERSTOOD VISION as in His three and half years’ Ministry of fulfilling the Father God’s commissioned mandate; rather than RUNNING aimlessly without purpose for thirty-three and a half years as some may do and have been doing. 

What About You, as it relates to any of these about you that are WORTH pondering: 

  • Marital adventures 
  • Business Adventures 
  • Family Adventures 
  • Career Adventures 
  • Ministerial Calling Adventures 
  • Political Governance Adventures 
  • Academics Adventures 
  • . . and many such likes. 

They are WORTH pondering in the light of these Scriptures for your meditations: 

“It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and SETTETH me upon my HIGH PLACES” Psalms 18:32-33 (2 Samuel 22:32-34). 

“. . . The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will MAKE my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to WALK upon mine HIGH PLACES” Habakkuk 3:17-19. 

“. . . EVERY PLACE that the SOLE of your foot shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you, as I said unto Moses” Joshua 1:1-3. 

“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. 

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

SUMMARY 

This message is a prophetic charge to DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST! 

It calls you to WAKE UP and follow God’s divine order for fulfilment: WRITE the vision, MAKE it plain, READ to understand, then RUN with grace, wisdom and speed. Just as Jesus took 30 years to READ and KNOW the Father’s mandate before He ran for three and half years to FULFIL it, you too must refuse to RUN aimlessly. God has set you for dominion and victory, and every area of your life is WORTH pondering in the light of His WORD so you can walk in HIGH PLACES and triumph always in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Key Points: 

  1. The Divine Process for Triumph: WRITE → MAKE PLAIN → READ → RUN 
    God’s heavenly mandate is clear. Document the vision, simplify it, study it until you understand, then move with grace, wisdom, and speed. This prevents aimless striving and burnout. – Habakkuk 2:1-4  “WRITE the vision, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN THAT READETH it… BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” 
  2. Christ Is Our Pattern 
    Jesus spent 30 years READYING to KNOW the VISION, then three and half years RUNNING to fulfil the Father God’s commissioned mandate. We must not spend three and half years RUNNING without PURPOSE like many do. 
  3. God Empowers You for HIGH PLACES and EVERY PLACE 
    God Himself is your strength. He sets your feet like hinds’ feet and gives you every place you tread upon for triumph. – Psalm 18:32-33; 2 Samuel 22:32-34 “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and SETTETH me upon my HIGH PLACES” 
    – Habakkuk 3:17-19 “The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will MAKE my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to WALK upon mine HIGH PLACES” 
    – Joshua 1:1-3 “EVERY PLACE that the SOLE of your foot shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you” 
    – 2 Corinthians 2:14 “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” 
  4. Apply This to ALL Life Adventures WORTH PONDERING 
    This principle applies to: Marital Adventures, Business Adventures, Family Adventures, Career Adventures, Ministerial Calling Adventures, Political Governance Adventures, Academics Adventures,. and many such like. Do not neglect any area. God wants you triumphant in all. 

Call to Action: 

  1. DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST. Refuse a slumbering state. Arise now. 
  2. WRITE and MAKE PLAIN your vision. Get clarity on paper for each area of life listed above. 
  3. COMMIT TO READ TO UNDERSTAND. Wait for the appointed time. Let the vision SPEAK to you. – Habakkuk 2:3 “For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME… though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, IT WILL NOT TARRY.” 
  4. THEN RUN WITH GRACE, WISDOM AND SPEED. Once you have understanding, move boldly. Put the horse before the cart. 
  5. BELIEVE GOD FOR VICTORY. He girds you with strength and causes you to triumph always in Christ.

IT IS TIME TO DARE THAT VISION 

By Leave a Comment

IT IS TIME TO DARE THAT VISION: “DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“It is God that GIRDETH me with strength, and maketh my WAY perfect. 33 He maketh my FEET like hinds’ feet, and SETTETH me upon my HIGH PLACES” Psalms 18:32-33 (2 Samuel 22:32-34). 

It’s time to WAKE UP from your slumbering state, for it is now a high and due time for you to — WRITE the vision down, MAKE it plain — simplified and readable, READ to know and understand, then RUN with grace, wisdom and speed with it. 
And then, you can and will sing the Hallelujah songs of VICTORY and TRIUMPH — as did Moses, Miriam and the Israelites in Exodus 15:1-21. 
What a principle to apply to the heavenly mandate in all that pertains to doing life and living godly that concerns you for today and tomorrow. Amen. 

I cannot help but take 30 years to READ to KNOW the VISION as JESUS CHRIST did, then RUN with the READ and UNDERSTOOD VISION as He did in His three and a half years’ ministry of FULFILLING the Father God’s given cause and purpose. 
Fulfilling the commissioned mandate and assignment of the Father by READING to know and understand was a set prerogative, rather than RUNNING aimlessly without a full known PURPOSE and understood ASSIGNMENT for three and a half years as some may do, or may have done and are still doing. 
And unfortunately, that is tragically tragic — running aimlessly and being burnt out by putting the cart before the horse. 

Now, I am asking you — what can you learn of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in His plan and pursuit in doing that which is to fulfil the PURPOSE of God as assigned to Him? 
And how do you intend to go about yours with purpose, as it relates to READ before you RUN, in any of these — though not limited to — life MATTERS if you want to TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE: 

  • Marital Adventures 
  • Business Adventures 
  • Family Adventures 
  • Career Adventures 
  • Ministerial Calling Adventures 
  • Political Governance Adventures 
  • Leadership and Management Adventures 
  •  Relationship Adventures, . . . and many such like. 

God wants you to live victorious and triumphant, to be more than a conqueror and an overcomer in every way and everywhere of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus; but you must put the horse before the cart if you are to have an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in your endeavours. 
Hence, the above enumerated but not limited life matters are WORTH pondering if you are to DARE and TRIUMPH in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and SETTETH me upon my HIGH PLACES” Psalms 18:32-33 (2 Samuel 22:32-34). 

“. . . The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will MAKE my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to WALK upon mine HIGH PLACES” Habakkuk 3:17-19. 

“. . . 2 EVERY PLACE that the SOLE of your foot shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you, as I said unto Moses . . .” Joshua 1:1-9. 

“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. 

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

SUMMARY: 
The message is a prophetic wake-up call to arise from slumber and DARE THAT VISION: “DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE” — IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD! 

It charges you to follow God’s divine order for fulfilment: WRITE the vision, MAKE it plain, READ to know and understand, then RUN with grace, wisdom and speed. Just as Jesus took 30 years to READ and KNOW before He ran for three and half years to FULFIL, you must not RUN aimlessly and burn out. God wants you victorious, triumphant, and established in HIGH PLACES in every area of life, empowered by His strength, not by striving. 

Key Points: 

  1. The Divine Process for Triumph: WRITE → MAKE PLAIN → READ → RUN 
    Victory begins with clarity. Document the vision, simplify it, and study it until you understand God’s PURPOSE and ASSIGNMENT. Only then should you RUN. This prevents putting “the cart before the horse” and the tragic cycle of aimless striving. – Habakkuk 2:1-4 “WRITE the vision, and make it PLAIN upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.“
  2. Christ Is Our Pattern 
    Jesus spent 30 years READYING to KNOW the Father’s will, then three and half years RUNNING to FULFIL it. Fulfilling the commissioned mandate by READING to know and understand was His set prerogative. Learn from His plan and pursuit.
  3. God Equips You for HIGH PLACES and EVERY PLACE 
    God Himself girds you with strength, perfects your way, and sets your feet like hinds’ feet upon HIGH PLACES. Every place you tread is given to you for triumph. – Psalm 18:32-33; 2 Samuel 22:32-34 “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my HIGH PLACES” 
    – Habakkuk 3:17-19 “The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will make my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine HIGH PLACES” 
    – Joshua 1:1-9 “EVERY PLACE that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you” 
    – 2 Corinthians 2:14 “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”
  4. Apply This Principle to ALL Life MATTERS 
    This READ before you RUN principle is WORTH pondering for: Marital Adventures, Business Adventures, Family Adventures, Career Adventures, Ministerial Calling Adventures, Political Governance Adventures, Leadership and Management Adventures, Relationship Adventures, and more. God wants you to be more than a conqueror and an overcomer in every way. – Romans 8:37
  5. The Result: VICTORY, TRIUMPH, and BLESSEDNESS 
    When you follow this order, you will sing Hallelujah songs of VICTORY and TRIUMPH like Moses, Miriam and the Israelites, and live in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. – Exodus 15:1-21

Call to Action: 

  1. WAKE UP. Arise from slumber. It is high and due time. 
  2. WRITE and MAKE PLAIN your vision. For each life matter listed above, get it down on paper. Make it simplified and readable. 
  3. COMMIT TO READ TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND. Do not rush. Wait on the Lord until the vision SPEAKS. Live by faith. – Habakkuk 2:3-4 “For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME… BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” 
  4. THEN RUN WITH GRACE, WISDOM AND SPEED. Once you have understanding, move with purpose. Put the horse before the cart for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory. 
  5. DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE. Believe that God is your STRENGTH and will cause you to triumph always in Christ.

THE HOW-YOU-DO-LIFE PRINCIPLES 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

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

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

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

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6. 

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

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

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

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

KEY POINTS 

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

Call to Action 

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

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

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED: THROUGH THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD – AND NOT BY ANY DEFINED METHODS! 

“This Book of the LAW shall not DEPART from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will MAKE YOUR way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

Success, to me, is failure turned inside out. It is the ability and capacity of using God’s Word in context, and in principle, to cause a failed state to become a successful state again. Anything otherwise is abuse, scam, and fraud. For in life, ABUSE means – ABNORMAL [ABNORMALLY] USE of anything in principle against its intended expectations. It is a result of being uninformed of the PURPOSE of a thing. There is ABUSE in almost every place in life – abuse of individuals or people, position, relationship, family and marital life, power, material resources [money, time and effort], opportunities, and facilitating materials, and such like. 

An example of an abusive atmosphere can be found in marriages. In some marriages, because most people are not properly INFORMED of the PURPOSE of MARRIAGE, they abuse their spouses. We often see how much resources are spent in FORTUNES in terms of – Time, Money, Material, People and Effort – in preparing for a one-day WEDDING; while those same people make no adequate preparation to ensure an assured life journey. And in some cases, those involved are not properly INFORMED with the set PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT for them to be successful in the intended MARRIAGE; and that marriage itself is supposedly to be a lifetime journey in grace, till death do either or both apart. And yes, everyone clamours for success and excellence but challenges the principles meant to keep them responsible and accountable to their desired causes in context and content. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRING], not KNOWING the Scriptures [PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING] nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

It is because of some people’s failure in principle regarding the purpose of a thing, that is why we see today so much infighting and abuse within; and so many unnecessary reasons being given for divorce, or for divorcing one another respectively. 

And thus, happenings that OUGHT not to be, especially in a Born Again Believer’s home in Christ Jesus. 

And unfortunately in most cases, where children are involved, they get them innocently drawn in. And that has created an incomprehensible and unimaginable, devastating and depressing state of mind for the children in such marital relationships. 

Some will have their children abused, irrespective, for the same lack of an informed state — in context, in principle, and in purpose — of being blessed with these blessed children. 

A fulfilling life is more than mere wishes; otherwise everyone would have it with ease. It is built and achieved through the principles laid out in God’s Word in context. That is how the content can be materialised and be fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in grace. 

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

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall have PLENTY OF BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH AFTER VAIN PERSONS shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-24. 

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN PERSONS is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11/Emphasis mine. 

The KNOWLEDGE of a thing empowers and emancipates. It helps to make an informed decision by the Word of God and to fulfil purpose in context and content. 

While IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, it is a DIS-EASE [AN UNEASE] — a place and position that is worse than any cancerous disease of any sort. For by it, many talents, visions, and dreams to enhance life and godly living have ended up in the GRAVEYARDS unfulfilled. 

And in some cases it has created a failed individual, in a failed family, in a failed community, in a failed society; and robbed such of creativity, innovation, and the power to initiate and explore opportunities to greatness that is fulfilling in purpose and in the principles the world desires to behold.  

“Truly, these times of IGNORANCE God overlooked, but now COMMANDS all men everywhere to REPENT (change of heart), 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead“ Acts 17:30-31/Emphasis Mine. 

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God to that your intended VISION. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:1-4 especially the verses 2 which states: 

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

The Habakkuk scripture did not say — “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ”, but rather said — “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”; which thus means, NO READING, then NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances. 

The principle herein is this — you have to READ in order to know and understand; you need to be fully informed of the context and principle; you need to obtain the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the said VISIONED CONCEPT. That is, to have the clarity to enable you to WALK in WISDOM before running with that intended life vision, which could be in these terms but not limited to: 

  • Executing a Business/Enterprise 
  • Pursuing a Career 
  • Positioning a Ministerial Gospel Ministry 
  • Pursuing Governance in Politics/Government 
  • Pursuing Leadership in any Management 
  • Pursuing Matters of Marriage/Relationship 
  • Pursuing any such like matters, though not mentioned, that pertain to life and godly living 

When you do not READ before you RUN, as Scripturally set as the principle for greatness and fulfilling purpose, then failure and frustration await. Just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations, simply because of RUNNING ahead by mere ZEAL or PASSION, without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the FULNESS at hand of what it takes in their VISIONED CONCEPT. 

I plead with you today, to make amends. RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING it again before RUNNING with it. Your greatness in principle and purpose is enviable when the Scriptural context to the content is taken into consideration. 

Therefore, as you set your day’s PLANS, PURPOSES, AND PURSUITS, endeavour to be assured by READING to UNDERSTAND before RUNNING with it. BE WELL INFORMED TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE TRANSFORMATION to a fulfilled life in grace. 

God wants you to both SUCCEED and be FULFILLED — only it is by PRINCIPLE and not by METHOD. For what may apply to one case may not apply to another. Hence application by METHODS will fail in most cases, while application by PRINCIPLE will always triumph.  

Have a gracious and graceful moment in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“This Book of the Law shall not DEPART from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

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

“Truly, these times of IGNORANCE God overlooked, but now COMMANDS all men everywhere to REPENT (change of heart), 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/Emphasis Mine. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRING], not KNOWING the Scriptures [PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING] nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a charge to every Born Again Believer: YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED — not by METHOD, but by PRINCIPLE through the Word of God. Success is not accidental. It is the result of READING, KNOWING, and APPLYING God’s Word in context to cause failure to turn into success. When we ignore God’s principles and run with zeal, passion, or methods alone, we produce ABUSE, FRUSTRATION, and UNFULFILLED destinies. God commands us to repent from ignorance, take heed to His Word, and grow into greatness and wholeness in Christ Jesus. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. Success is Defined by the Word 
    Joshua 1:8 — “For then you will make your way PROSPEROUS, and then you will have GOOD SUCCESS.” 
    Success = failure turned inside out. It is the capacity to use God’s Word in context and in principle to restore a failed state. Anything outside this is ABUSE, SCAM, and FRAUD.
  2. Abuse is a Result of Ignorance of Purpose
    ABUSE = ABNORMAL USE against God’s intended expectation. It happens in marriage, family, work, ministry, and resources when people are not INFORMED of the PURPOSE, PLAN, and PURSUIT.
    Example: People spend fortunes on a one-day WEDDING but make no preparation for a lifetime MARRIAGE. This produces infighting, divorce, and children caught in devastating homes. Matthew 22:29 — “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the power of God.”
  3. Ignorance is a DIS-EASE Worse Than Sickness
    IGNORANCE buries talents, visions, and dreams in the GRAVEYARD. It creates failed individuals, families, communities, and societies. Acts 17:30 — “God now COMMANDS all men everywhere to REPENT” from ignorance.
    KNOWLEDGE empowers and emancipates. It enables informed decisions and fulfilment of purpose.
  4. The Scriptural Order: READ Before You RUN Habakkuk 2:2 — “WRITE the VISION… that he may RUN that READETH it.”
  5. NO READING, then NO RUNNING. You must obtain KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your VISIONED CONCEPT before you act. This applies to: Business, Career, Ministry, Government, Leadership, Marriage, and all matters of life and godliness. Running with ZEAL without READING leads to failure.
  6. Principle Triumphs Over Method
    Colossians 4:17 — “TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY… that thou FULFIL it.”
    Proverbs 28:19-20 — The one who TILLETH his land shall have plenty. Haste to be rich brings poverty. 

What works by METHOD for one may fail for another. But PRINCIPLE from God’s Word will always triumph and produce fulfilment. God wants you to both SUCCEED and be FULFILLED — by PRINCIPLE. 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. REPENT FROM IGNORANCE: Acknowledge where you have been running without reading. Choose today to be taught by the Word. Acts 17:30 
  2. READ, MEDITATE, AND OBSERVE THE WORD: Let the Book of the Law not depart from your mouth. Meditate day and night so you can observe to do. Joshua 1:8 
  3. RE-EVALUATE YOUR VISION: Before you RUN, READ again. Get the context, principle, and fulness of what God is saying about your business, career, ministry, marriage, and leadership. 
  4. TAKE HEED TO FULFIL YOUR MINISTRY/PURPOSE: Cultivate your “land”. Be faithful, not hasty. Build with principles, not vain pursuits. Colossians 4:17; Proverbs 12:11 
  5. BE WELL INFORMED FOR TRANSFORMATION: As you set your day’s PLANS, PURPOSES, AND PURSUITS, ensure you are rooted in Scriptural context so your content can be materialised and fulfilled in grace. 

FINAL CHARGE 
You are born of God to succeed and be fulfilled. Don’t chase methods. Embrace principles. Read first. Understand first. Walk in wisdom first. Then run — and you will prosper and have good success. Amen.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a graceful and blessed day. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

  1. THE DAILY REALITY: THE POWER OF CHOICE

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

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

By fleshly self-made belief 

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

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

  1. THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

READ BEFORE YOU RUN

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32. 

“The Lord GAVE the word: great was the company of those that PUBLISHED it” Psalms 68:11. 

“Oh, that my WORDS were now WRITTEN! oh that they were PRINTED in a BOOK! 24 That they were GRAVEN with an IRON PEN and LEAD in the ROCK for ever!” Job 19:23-24. 

“And there are also MANY other things which Jesus DID, the which, if they should be WRITTEN every one, I suppose that even the WORLD itself could not contain the BOOKS that should be WRITTEN. Amen” John 21:25. 

“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, 

WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

PREPAREDNESS: MARK OF BEING READY TO RUN! 

By Leave a Comment

PREPAREDNESS: MARK OF BEING READY TO RUN! 

For an effectual and efficient PREPAREDNESS in the grace, there’s the need to be intentional and pragmatic to “WRITE THE VISION DOWN – MAKE IT PLAIN – “READ BEFORE YOU RUN”; and by a wise and diligent preparation in the Word of grace, through FAITH and PATIENCE, you can then enhance and be delivered to your inheritance. 

BLESSEDNESS. 

SCRIPTURAL READING FOR YOUR THOUGHT. 

“The Lord gave the WORD: great was the company of those that PUBLISHED it”. Psalms 68:11. 

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are sanctified” Acts 20:32. 

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

“I will STAND upon my WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3. For the VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the END it shall SPEAK, and not lie: though it TARRY, WAIT for it; because it will SURELY come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

“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 ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED: THROUGH THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD – AND NOT BY ANY DEFINED METHODS!

“This Book of the LAW shall not DEPART from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will MAKE YOUR way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Success to me is failure turned inside out. It’s the ability and capacity of using God’s word in context, and in principle to cause a failed state to become a successful state again. Anything otherwise is  abuse, scam and fraud. For in life, ABUSE means – ABNORMAL [ABNORMALLY] USE of anything in principle against the expectations. It’s a result of being uninformed of the PURPOSE of a thing. There’s ABUSE in almost in every places in life – abuse of individual or people, position, relationship, family and marital life, power, material resources [money, time and effort], opportunities and facilitating materials  and such like.

An example of an abusive atmosphere can be found in marriages. In some marriages, because majority of time most people are not properly INFORMED of the PURPOSE of MARRIAGE they abuse their spouses. We see often how much resources are spent in FORTUNES  in terms of – Time, Money, Material, People and Efforts – in preparing for a day WEDDING; while those concerns make no adequate preparation to ensure an assured life journey; and in some cases, those involved are not properly INFORMED with the set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT, for them to be successful of the intended MARRIAGE;  and that marriage itself it’s supposedly to be a lifetime journey in grace, till death do either or both apart. And yes, everyone clamour for success and excellence but challenges the principles in terms to keep them responsible and accountable to their desired causes in context and content.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRING], not KNOWING the Scriptures [PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING] nor the power of God”  Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine.

It’s because of some people’s failing state in principle on the purpose of a thing, that’s why we see  many in-fighting today and abuse within; and many unnecessary reasons being given for divorce or divorcing each other respectively. And thus, happenings that OUGHT not to be, especially in a Born Again Believer in Christ Jesus’ home. And unfortunately in most cases, where children are available, they get them innocently involved, and that has created an incomprehensible and unimaginable devastating and depressing state of mind for the children in such marital relationship. Some will have their children abused irrespective, for same lack of informed state in context, in principle and in purpose, of being blessed with these blessed children. A fulfilling life is more than mere wishes otherwise any will have it with ease. It’s built and achieved through the principles laid out in God’s word in context. That’s how the content can be materialised and fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in the grace.

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

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall have PLENTY OF BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH AFTER VAIN PERSONS shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-24.

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN PERSONS is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11/Emphasis mine.

The KNOWLEDGE of a thing empowers and emancipates. It helps to make an informed decision by the word of God and to fulfil purpose in context and content. While IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASED [AN UNEASE] place and position that is worse than a cancerous disease of any sort. For by it many talents, vision and dreams to enhance life and godly living has ended up in the GRAVEYARD unfulfilled. And in some cases has created a failed individual in a failed family in a failed community in a failed society; and robbing such of creativity, innovation and the power to initiate and explore opportunities to greatness that’s fulfilling in purpose and principles of the world desired to behold.

“Truly, these times of IGNORANCE God overlooked, but now COMMANDS all men everywhere to REPENT (change of heart), 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/Emphasis Mine.

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God to that your intended VISION. This is profound when one takes light from Habakkuk 2:1-4 especially the verses 2 which states:

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

The scripture in Habakkuk did not say – He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ, but rather said – “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH“; which thus Mean, NO READING, then, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances. The principle herein is this – you have to READ in order to know and understand; you need to acquire or be fully informed of the context and principle; you need to obtain the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the said VISIONED CONCEPT – that is, to have the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that intended life vision, which could be in these terms but not limited to:

  • Executing a Business/Enterprise,
  • Pursuing a Career,
  • Positioning a Ministerial Gospel Ministry,
  • Pursuing governance in Politics/Government
  • Pursuing Leadership in any Management
  • Pursuing matters of Marriage/Relationship
  • Pursuing any such like matters though not mentioned that pertains to life and godly living.

When you don’t read before you run as Scripturally set as a principle for greatness and fulfilling purpose, then failure and frustration awaits; just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations; simply because of their RUNNING ahead by their mere ZEAL or PASSION, without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND, the FULNESS at hand of what it takes in their VISIONED CONCEPT.

I plead with you today, to make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING it again before RUNNING with it. Your greatness in principle and purpose is enviable when the Scriptural context to the content is taken into consideration. Therefore, as you set your day’s PLANS PURPOSES AND PURSUITS, endeavour to ensure to be assured, by READING to UNDERSTAND before RUNNING with it. BE WELL INFORMED TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE TRANSFORMATION to a fulfilled life in the grace.

God wants you to both SUCCEED and be FULFILLED – only it’s by PRINCIPLE and not by METHOD. For what may apply to one case may not apply to another hence application by METHODS will fail in most cases while application by PRINCIPLE will always triumph.

Have a gracious and graceful moment in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

AVOID BEING MISTAKEN

AVOID BEING MISTAKEN: READ TO KNOW THE SCRIPTURES TO AVOID BEING MISTAKEN AND BE FOUND IN AN ERRONEOUS CAPTIVITY!

“Till I come, GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING, to exhortation, to doctrine” 1 Timothy 4:13.

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

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

You are mistaken, walking in error and powerless because you simply RUN before you READ; hence READ first if you must RUN to achieve, succeed, triumph and such like more, in that purposeful visioned concept for your meaningful result of God in Christ Jesus stead. For READING keeps you INFORMED. And INFORMED people make INFORMED DECISIONS and not mere guesses or guessing decisions. And INFORMED DECISIONS makes INFORMED LIVING in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

READ BEFORE YOU RUN – DON’T PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. YOU WILL EXERT UNNECESSARY EFFORTS TO NO WHERE – FOR WISDOM IS ONLY PROFITABLE TO DIRECT THROUGH KNOWLEDGE

“If the IRON be BLUNT, and he DO NOT WHET the edge, then must he PUT TO MORE STRENGTH: but WISDOM is PROFITABLE to direct”  Ecclesiastes 10:10.

“If the AXE is DULL and he DOES NOT SHARPEN its edge, then he must EXERT more strength; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him SUCCEED [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/AMP.

Don’t blame others for your poor prescription order in the principle of doing life in Christ Jesus stead if you don’t read before you run. For wisdom is the application of knowledge and knowledge is as result of the pure SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that one had been informed to contain.

YOU ARE EITHER RESPONDING OR REACTING – KNOWLEDGE WILL MAKE ONE RESPOND TO LIFE MATTERS BY THE WORD WHILE IGNORANCE MAKES ONE REACT TO LIFE MATTERS BECAUSE THERE’S NO WORD.

And a NO WORD means a NO FAITH. For FAITH comes by the WORD – [Romans 10:17]. And by FAITH we do life with God to overcome in humanity. [1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17)]. And by not doing life by FAITH is Sin – [Romans 14:23]. And without doing life by FAITH it’s possible to PLEASE God – [Hebrews 11:1-3, 6]. Thus, it indicates why it’s important and imperative to ensure and be assured of the knowledge and understanding of the WORD of God in every context application, to necessitate and  ascertain the WISDOM for any to succeed with God in Christ Jesus stead.

BELOVED, AVOID BEING MISTAKEN – READ TO KNOW THE SCRIPTURES IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING MISTAKEN AND BE FOUND IN AN ERRONEOUS CAPTIVITY – AND SOMETIMES IRREVERSIBLE BONDAGES

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“. . . . 13 Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:11-15.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING WHICH IS IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS” Philemon 1:6.

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a graceful and blessed day.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK
