THE TRIUMPHANT CHURCH: THE GLORIOUS SOLDIER OF CHRIST JESUS! 

“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore ENDURE hardness, as a GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” 2 Timothy 2:1-6. 

The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to life’s, homes, communities, nations and more. 

“Thou art my BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23. 

And you are the Church, the triumphant and glorious Soldier of Christ. However, the glorious Church though engage in constant combatant spiritual warfare, is also a triumphant Church. Each warfare and battle engagement helps to refine, refresh, energise, rejuvenate and renew this blessed Church; hence, the Church is glorious, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts’ efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, pervert and counterfeit these glorious attributes. 

“Husbands, love your wives, even as CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, and GAVE himself for it; 26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” Ephesians 5:25-27. 

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a VICTIM and PREY instead of being the VICTOR, MORE THAN CONQUERORS, TRIUMPHANT and OVERCOMER. Know for sure that you are a winner anyday, anyway and anywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with this battles within and without. 

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, UNTIL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THY FOOTSTOOL. 2 The Lord shall send THE ROD OF THY STRENGTH OUT OF ZION: RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 THY PEOPLE SHALL BE WILLING IN THE DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth” Psalms 110:1-3 

Therefore, if I may say today – if it’s okay for me to ask you – What kind of CHURCH do you THINK you are today? Are you the dirty, stained hand, weakened, blemished and FEAFUL-HALLELUJAH acclaimed believer or a clean hand, gracious, graceful, glorious and triumphant Soldier of Christ? What are you taking hold on in the midst of a broken society, confused and destabilised world, faint-hearted and dissatisfied community – that’s filled with wickedness and evil, hatred, war and pandemic crushed nations and more. You are a spiritual Soldier of Christ. It’s our time to arise, be willing to volunteer with ease, to be a part of the needed change and difference for the good of our broken societal families, communities, nations and the world at large. 

I pray you step up to who YOU ARE in God’s BLESSEDNESS – as the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH – who INDEED is the SOLDIER OF CHRIST – knowingly and unknowingly.

“The RIGHTEOUS also shall hold on his way, and he that hath CLEAN HANDS shall be STRONGER and STRONGER” Job 17:9. 

“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore ENDURE hardness, as a GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” 2 Timothy 2:1-6.

“It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to win my battles. 4 I use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These WEAPONS can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding Him. With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB). 

Further Scriptural Meditation: (1 Timothy 1:18; 6:12; Matthew 16:18b; Ephesians 6:10-18; Revelation 12:11; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 4:4; 5:4-5; 2 Timothy 4:7-8). 

SUMMARY: 

This is a prophetic, war-time charge declaring that the Church is not weak, defeated, or passive. The Church is God’s BATTLE AXE, WEAPONS OF WAR, and GLORIOUS SOLDIER — engaged in constant spiritual warfare, yet always triumphant in Christ. 

It calls every believer to know their identity, reject sideline Christianity, and arise to rule, overcome, and bring change in a broken world. The tone is urgent, militant, and triumphant: from fear to faith, from grandstands to frontlines. 

  1. TheChurch’s Identity & Calling: A GOOD SOLDIER
    From 2 Timothy 2:1-6, the Church is charged to: 
    – Be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 
    – ENDURE hardness as a GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST — not entangled with the affairs of this life, striving lawfully, labouring to partake of the fruit. 
    – Be God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS of war to break nations and destroy kingdoms [Jeremiah 51:20-23]. 

You are not a spectator. You are the Church — the triumphant and glorious Soldier of Christ, sanctified and equipped with divine authority. 

  1. The Reality: Constant Warfare, Constant Victory 
    Engagement: The Church is constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare that produces physical effects — challenges to lives, homes, communities, nations, and more. 
    Refinement: Every warfare and battle engagement refines, refreshes, energizes, rejuvenates, and renews the Church. 
    Glorious Despite Attack: The Church remains glorious because its beauty is awesome, despite satanic and his cohorts’ efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, pervert, and counterfeit these attributes. 
    Sanctified & Spotless: Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it to SANCTIFY, CLEANSE, and present it a GLORIOUS CHURCH without spot or wrinkle [Ephesians 5:25-27]. 
  1. The Mandate: Get Off the Sidelines 
    No Grandstanding: Do not watch from the sidelines — else you become a VICTIM and PREY instead of a VICTOR, MORE THAN CONQUERORS, TRIUMPHANT, and OVERCOMER. 
    Equipped to Win: You are a winner any day, any way, anywhere because you are born of God and filled with His Spirit to engage these battles within and without. 
    Royal Authority: Christ sits at the right hand UNTIL He makes enemies His footstool. He sends THE ROD OF STRENGTH OUT OF ZION so His people may RULE in the MIDST OF ENEMIES as willing volunteers in the DAY OF POWER [Psalm 110:1-3]. 
  1. TheProphetic Interrogation: Which Church Are You?
    You are confronted to choose: 
    The dirty, stained, weakened, blemished, and FEARFUL — hallelujah — acclaimed believer? 
    Or the clean-handed, gracious, graceful, glorious, and triumphant Soldier of Christ? 

In a world filled with wickedness, evil, hatred, war, and pandemic-crushed nations, it is time to ARISE, VOLUNTEER with ease, and be part of the needed change for families, communities, nations, and the world at large. 

  1. TheBlessing & Prayer 

I pray you step up to who YOU ARE in God’s BLESSEDNESS — as the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH — who INDEED is the SOLDIER OF CHRIST, knowingly and unknowingly. 

Scriptural Truths Worth Pondering 

  1. Ephesians 5:25-27: Christ’s goal is a GLORIOUS CHURCH — holy and without blemish. 
  2. Job 17:9: CLEAN HANDS shall be STRONGER and STRONGER. 
  3. 2 Timothy 2:1-6: Be strong, endure, fight lawfully, labour, and receive understanding. 
  4. Jeremiah 51:20-23: The Church is God’s BATTLE AXE to break and destroy. 
  5. Psalm 110:1-3: RULE, BE WILLING, POWER, BEAUTY of HOLINESS. 
  6. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 [LB]: We use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS to pull down strongholds, capture arguments, and bring obedience to Christ. 

Key Theme in One Line: 
The Church is Christ’s triumphant, glorious Soldier — forged in spiritual warfare, armed with divine weapons, and mandated to rule, overcome, and bring change in a broken world.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES 

By Leave a Comment

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE! 

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14/Amplified. 

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.  

I want you to know for certain, and be assured to ensure, that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I mean you ARE the Church in TRIUMPH, and not the architectural building where the ingathering to worship our God worthily and to serve Him acceptably is centred. And knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus through REDEMPTION [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify [crucify] – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES [Galatians 5:16, 24-25]. 

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25. 

It thus means TRIUMPH is by living in the sphere where the Holy Spirit LEADS – the Holy Spirit Inspired life, and by the WORD of God, through your human spirit-being by the auction of grace that’s within you [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27]. This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being that is SPIRIT-RULED and not BODILY-RULED or FLESHLY-RULED. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY, far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that’s within you – [Romans 8:1-17]. For you are created as a BEING, not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God. 

And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION with God as a BEING, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING [1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 12:4], and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God [Romans 10:17]. 

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God [1 Corinthians 1:9], because there’s no sphere or place for a VACUUM. Thus, it indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is by your spirit and in the truth – the WORD of God [John 4:19-24]. 

The consequential of living outside the sphere of the Spirit-led is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, in the sphere of FIVE SENSES, which are these: 

  •  HEAR/Hearing 
  •  SEE/Seeing 
  •  TASTE/Tasting 
  •  SMELL/Smelling 
  •  FEEL/Feeling [Touch/Touching]  

Sadly enough – there is EFFECT, and there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These FIVE SENSES EFFECTS that resulted in the fall of the first creation man [Adam] and was defeated by the second Adam [Christ Jesus] to give us assurance of hope and triumph when we are living and walking by the WORD in the Spirit are these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]: 

  •  The LUST of the EYES 
  •  The LUST of the FLESH 
  •  The PRIDE of LIFE 

These EFFECTS were seen at the beginning with Adam and Adam in EDEN, where they fell from FAITH and FELLOWSHIP with God [Genesis 3]. These EFFECTS showed up again with Jesus during His Holy Spirit-led fasting at the TEMPTATION mountain [Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 4:1-11]. Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hover about, looking for who will fall to its sword [1 John 2:15-17]. The matter therefore is this – will you let it take root in you as many have fallen victims over and over again? I hope not. 

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPHED over these five senses and their EFFECTS by the simple affirmative statement of His firm FAITH in the WORD – “IT IS WRITTEN” – Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 [1 John 5:4-5; Colossians 2:15; Philemon 1:6]. Thus it means: No WORD, No FAITH, and No enacting of the TRIUMPH in the grace [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. Otherwise, it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, Man-made make-believes, creeds and such like. 

Therefore, as the TRIUMPHANT CHURCH in Christ Jesus stead, let us ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we ARE. And by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit, we will not fulfil the DEEDS and desired EFFECTS of the Flesh [fleshy-ruled, bodily-ruled]. 

BE BLESSED IN the grace as you live and walk in triumph in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

BE BLESSED. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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 2:24. 

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14 (Amplified). 

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

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15 (Amplified) 

“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25. 

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” 1 John 2:15-17. 

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24 

Further Scriptural Reading: Genesis 3:1-7; Mathew 4:1-11; Luke 4 :1-13; James 4:1-3; Romans 10:6-10; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10: 23, 35-39; Galatians 3:11; Mark 11:20-24; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a doctrinal exhortation titled “BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH”. It establishes that Christ secured complete TRIUMPH over the flesh at the cross, and that believers enforce this victory daily by living and walking in the Spirit through faith in the Word. The message contrasts the Spirit-led life with a flesh-ruled life governed by the five senses, using Adam’s fall and Christ’s temptation to prove that the three core effects of the flesh are still active, but faith and fellowship ensure the Church remains TRIUMPHANT. 

Key Points 

  1. 1. Identity & Foundation
  • YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH — not a building but believing children of God in Christ Jesus. 
  • TRIUMPH IS A DONE DEED through redemption [2 Cor 2:14; Col 2:15 Amplified]. God always leads us in triumph. 
  • The Church must LIVE and WALK in the consciousness of the Spirit of triumph to mortify the lusts and affections of the flesh [Gal 5:16, 24-25]. 
  1. Man’s Design: Spirit-Ruled BEING
  • Man was created as a BEING, not a BEEN [Gen 2:7]. There is no vacuum in God’s Kingdom. 
  • A spirit-ruled life is sustained by the Holy Spirit and the Word through the human spirit [Prov 20:27; Rom 8:1-17]. 
  • FAITH = COMMUNICATION with God as a BEING. Faith comes by HEARING the Word [Rom 10:17] and is held in a pure conscience [1 Tim 3:9]. 
  • FELLOWSHIP strengthens relationship with God [1 Cor 1:9]. Communion with God is only by spirit and truth — the Word [John 4:23-24]. 
  1. The Enemy: Five Senses & Three Effects
  • Outside the Spirit-led sphere = LIVING/WALKING in the FLESH, governed by five senses: Hearing, Seeing, Tasting, Smelling, Feeling. 
  • The flesh manifests through 3 effects: The LUST of the FLESH, The LUST of the EYES, The PRIDE of LIFE [1 John 2:15-17]. 
  • These effects caused Adam’s fall in EDEN [Gen 3:1-6] and tempted Christ at the TEMPTATION MOUNTAIN [Matt 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13]. They remain active today seeking who will fall. 
  1. Pattern for Victory: Christ’s Method
  • Unlike Adam/Eve, Jesus TRIUMPHED over the five senses by FAITH in the WORD — “IT IS WRITTEN” [Matt 4:4,7,10]. 
  • Principle: No WORD = No FAITH = No enacting of TRIUMPH in grace [2 Cor 2:14; Col 2:15]. Without the Word, one resorts to magic, sorcery, dogmas, and man-made creeds. 
  1. Charge & Application
  • Command: ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we ARE. By LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the deeds and desired effects of the flesh. 
  • Result: A life lived triumphantly, far above human limitations, by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus [Rom 8:2].

THE PLACE OF CHURCH WORSHIP

By Leave a Comment

THE PLACE OF CHURCH WORSHIP – IT’S A FAMILY GATHERING – AND FAMILY SUNDAY: BE A PARTICIPANT, NOT A SPECTATOR, AT THE INGATHERING! 

“I was GLAD when they SAID unto me, LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE of the Lord” Psalms 122:1. 

Unreservedly, I just want you to know now, today and always that: 

THE PLACE OF CHURCH WORSHIP IS NOT A PLACE YOU GO TO – IT’S A FAMILY GATHERING YOU SHOULD BELONG TO . . . SO ARISE AND BE THERE WHENEVER THERE IS AN INGATHERING AND BE A PARTICIPANT OF IT . . . DON’T BE A SPECTATOR AND OBSERVER.  

Be as the Psalmist to always look forward to the GATHERING and INGATHERING of God’s precious and redeemed people as you. For the GATHERING and INGATHERING of God’s VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMERS, TRIUMPHANT and A MORE THAN CONQUERORS people of God in Christ Jesus stead is where you should always desire and make time available to be – just as written of the Psalmist, in the scripture of Psalm 122:1, as mentioned earlier, and more so for us of the last days Brethren, as spoken of in Isaiah. 

“And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS, that the MOUNTAIN of the Lord’s house shall be ESTABLISHED in the TOP of the mountains, and shall be EXALTED above the hills; and all NATIONS shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the HOUSE of the God of Jacob; and he will TEACH us of his ways, and we will WALK in his paths: for out of ZION shall go forth the law, and the WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall JUDGE among the nations, and shall REBUKE many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn WAR any more” Isaiah 2:2-4  

Find a WORSHIP INGATHERING near you and be a part – an active participant. It’s your family, it’s not just a place you go to . . . You are the Church in the Churches INGATHERING. Your seating spot awaits you in the COMMUNION. Make it happen now and always – [Ephesians 5:23-32]. Don’t be an observer, a pessimistic and passive person in the INGATHERING – give in your best, make your good, spirited and hearted presence to bless someone because you are there. You don’t know how someone may be happily blessed for your unexplainable smiles, gracious testimony and undeniable presence that you never knew could be contagious to give hope, love and assurance of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus to another loved child of God. 

“How is it then, BRETHREN? when ye COME TOGETHER, every one of you hath a PSALM, hath a DOCTRINE, hath a TONGUE, hath a REVELATION, hath an INTERPRETATION. Let ALL THINGS be DONE unto EDIFYING” 1 Corinthians 14:26. 

Give God a chance in your life, and don’t be a spectator, making excuses with the habits of absenteeism each time is the set moment of gathering and ingathering assembly of God’s precious people.  

“And let us consider one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the assembling of OURSELVES TOGETHER, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25. 

Be ASSURED that at the INGATHERING, everyone is UNIQUE, VITAL and IMPORTANT . . . So are you too . . . We are all CALLED into a COMMON UNION – COMMUNION and the same PURPOSE of God – to SERVE Him acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 12:12-27, 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:12; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 5:9-10]. 

And no matter the situation and circumstances befalling us – it’s far BETTER to be late than NEVER to be at the INGATHERING . . . Because you have to COME for it to BECOME a GATHERING and INGATHERING. And it’s a FAMILY gathering – YOUR gathering and not someone ELSE’S. Be there at ALL COST in LOVE, HOPE and FAITH of God that’s in Christ Jesus. For out of ZION, the Church shall go forth the LAW – the WORD of our God, to make good and goodness for the individual, family, community and the larger society of any nation. 

“. . . 3 And MANY PEOPLE shall go and say, COME ye, and LET US GO UP to the MOUNTAIN of the Lord, to THE HOUSE of the God of Jacob; and he will TEACH us of His WAYS, and we will WALK in his PATHS: for out of ZION shall go forth THE LAW, and THE WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem. . .” Isaiah 2:1-5. 

Therefore, beloved of God, have you resolved to find a place of worship? There’s one near you, even at a walking distance, where you are not mobile and can’t afford the cost of transport to your desired places. It’s not a New Creation mandate that until you must attend the denomination you were born into, or your family is noted for, or you attended while living in a particular region, that’s when you get to the gathering – the assembly of God’s REDEEMED people like you. You need to know and understanding this in the grace, that in Christ Jesus, the NEW CREATION is not limited by tribe, colour, status, culture, gender, denomination, and such like, before God, to worship Him worthily and serve Him acceptably. [2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 5:6]. 

I hope you make up your mind today to be at the ingathering near you. And it’s my prayers that you be blessed of God in the grace as you step up to show up now in the faith for your new dawn. 

Blessed regards.

A city that is SET on an HILL cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it UNDER a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16. 

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24. 

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS their POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH 

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH: YOU ARE THE CHURCH – THAT GOD IS BUILDING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life” Acts 5:20. 

“Churches are not clubs for the perfect. They are clinics for the sick, the wounded and the maimed, where those a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comfort others. Those who have been picked up pick others up. God bless you” – Reinhard BONNKE, of Blessed Memory. 

The Church gathering otherwise called “The Church”, is the collective home extension of the individual nucleus home respectively. It’s like a fuel filling station and garage for the fuelling and refuelling, the centre for the repair and repairing of the car – and in such places you don’t run the car there after fuelling or repairing but the car’s comes there to get energies and synergy’s before going to take a run on the road of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. And God is building His Church that makes up that gathering in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20. 

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born-again Believers of God in Christ Jesus, filled by the Holy Spirit, living by the instructions of the unadulterated and authoritative WORD of God, and under a Pastoral Shepherd without prejudice. The Church is not a freelance person of freedom without a stand and guild rails, without order and decency, but under the guidance of spiritual leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Church is living and lively, loving and touchable, and it’s also reachable, and the life is liveable and more, as God in Christ Jesus, the head of the Church. The Church is otherwise called THE BODY OF CHRIST which you are a member there to function and not as a structure.  

“. . . 30 for we are MEMBERS of His BODY, of his flesh, and of his bones . . .” Ephesians 5:21-33. 

“. . . 27 Now ye ARE the BODY of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. 

I pray you won’t be the loosed end Believer’s in Christ Jesus, who is without knowledge and understanding of who you ARE on spiritual settings for the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead; more so, so that you can share in the fullness of the available and given grace that Christ Jesus, the head of the Church, has set out and bestowed for your BLESSEDNESS in Him accordingly. For you ARE His Church that He’s building, and as such the Church is sanctified, cleansed, loved, glorious, holy, without spot, wrinkle, blemish, and a mystery. [Ephesians 5:21-33]. 

“. . . For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH: and He is the SAVIOUR of THE BODY. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also LOVED the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by THE WORD, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not having SPOT, or WRINKLE, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and without BLEMISH . . . 32 This is a great MYSTERY: but I speak concerning Christ and the church . . .” Ephesians 5:23-32 

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead, as you take your place and stands in the grace in doing life and living godly. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Let ALL THINGS be done DECENTLY [APPROPRIATELY] and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:40/Emphasis Mine. 

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a FAULT, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself . . . 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” Galatians 6:1-10. 

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone 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. 

“But if any man seem to be CONTENTIOUS, we have no such CUSTOM [PRACTICE], neither the CHURCHES of God” 1 Corinthians 11:16/Emphasis Mine. 

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in PARTICULAR so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33. 

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: THE LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT CHURCH!
 
“Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise –
And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.
 
“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14 Amplified.
 
Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.
 
“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in everyway of the challenges that are emanating today and any day in future, because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way as we see daily in all the multimedia channels and events near you.
 
“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.
 
“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is Spirit-breathed and alive; and not a mere organisation; and is living on the wings of Him who ever lives and is ageless. And He’s building the Spirit-inspiring, Spirit-revealing and Spirit-empowering army that’s ensured and assured that the gates of hades of the ENEMY and COHORTS can’t prevail and can’t matched the army as is captained by Him who rules and reigns supreme in the heavenly, on earth and beneath the earth. The UNPARALLELED ARMY is the Church of God on the earth and is energised and synergised along with an invincible armoury and weapons and angelically assisted.
 
“. . . 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not PREVAIL AGAINST IT. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND ON EARTH shall be BOUND IN HEAVEN: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE ON EARTH shall be LOOSED IN HEAVEN . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.
 
The CHURCH of God is the you, local and universal body of born again and Spirit-filled believers of God in Christ Jesus, under a Shepherd. For under the Sun, there are two groups (THE JEWS and THE GENTILES (otherwise called the Greeks) and the third – THE CHURCH OF GOD. And the Church of God is made of the born again of THE JEWS and THE GENTILES (GREEKS) otherwise called the the circumcised or the uncircumcised in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; 1 Corinthians 10:32; Galatians 5:6.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is equipped with an invincible armoury and weapons in union with an invisible heavenly angelic army as a re-enforcement with an emboldening and a fearless and unfailing dedicated and committed physical army called – The Church of God that’s of individual, local and universal across every continent on earth with unparalleled captain and commander and headship of God’s army – Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:20-23; Ephesians 3:20-21.

An unparalleled army that’s beyond the walls and boundaries of any known and to be known denomination, tribe, kindred, colour, tongue and nation and such like – and spread across the universe and far superior and above any known government and governance, principalities and powers and dominions that are known, written and yet unknown by any measure. Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:4-10; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is the only known army that’s invincibly and angelically assisted and ministered to irrespective of location without respect to person’s; and faith in to the authority of the supreme commander captain and headship of God in Christ Jesus stead by the blessed Holy Spirit. Hebrews 1:7, 14; Joshua 5:13-15.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY battle field is not warred in the flesh but in the spirit – pulling down strong holds and kingdom, casting down vain imaginations, authorities and leadership, principalities and powers and rulers of evil and wickedness and such like, that are disrespectful and not subject to the authority of God. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 Peter 5:7-11; Ephesians 6:10-20.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is beyond being a Jew or Gentile or Greek, heathen or circumcised or uncircumcised but is born of God from any of the aforementioned to be called the THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord and God personified. 1 Corinthians 10:32, Romans 2:28-29; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29; 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 6:13-16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Romans 3:28-29; Romans 10:4, 8-13.
 
And you are that individual, local and universal Church of God as depicted as the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – for which is one God, one baptism, one Lord, one faith, one God and father. Ephesians 4:4-6; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY has only one Shepherd who only is ascribed as the GOOD, CHIEF and GREAT SHEPHERD of this superior army. Psalms 23; John 10:11-18; 1 Peter 5:4; Hebrews 13:20-21.
 
THE UNPARALLELED ARMY IS:
* Fearless
* Strong
* Courageous
* Militant-Like Soldier
* Loving
* Glorious
* Triumphant
* Victorious
* More than Conqueror
* Overcomer
* Emboldened
* Assured
* Emboldened
* Angelic assisted
* Captained by the Lord God of hosts
* . . . and much more as Spirit-breathed
 
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that we as the UNPARALLELED ARMY, the Church of God in Christ Jesus, will not fall out God’s given assignment and divine PURPOSE in our world’s in time.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG IN THE GRACE that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many WITNESSES, the same commit thou to FAITHFUL men, who shall be able to TEACH others also. 3 Thou therefore ENDURE hardness, as a GOOD SOLDIER of Jesus Christ” 2 Timothy 2:1-3.
 
“. . . 3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee . . .” Isaiah 53:1-10.

“Behold, they shall SURELY GATHER TOGETHER, but not by me: whosoever shall GATHER TOGETHER AGAINST thee shall FALL for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that BLOWETH THE COALS IN THE FIRE, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall RISE AGAINST thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt CONDEMN. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.
 
“When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS OF THE KINGDOM of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND on earth shall be BOUND in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE on earth shall be LOOSED in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ” Matthew 16:13-20.

Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.
 
“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.
 
“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY: and NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, THAT THE SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT UNTO YOU; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20.

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 as thou hast GIVEN HIM POWER OVER ALL FLESH, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:1-3.
 
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself” Philippians 3:20-21.

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH: JESUS CHRIST – THE COMPLETE SHEPHERD!

“. . . 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.  . . .” Ephesians 5:22-33.

The Church is defined as an individual, local and collective body of born again Spirit-filled believer’s in Christ Jesus under a shepherd. And our Saviour And Lord Jesus Christ is the COMPLETE Shepherd of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH and you can count and account on Him in 24/7 timeless time in life and grace. And it’s awesome, gracious and graceful to know that the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD and PERSONAL SHEPHERD of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS Church is Jesus Christ – who is our Saviour King and Lord of All. For by Him the Church is glorious and triumphant in every way in the grace.

“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.

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

More so, the Holy Scriptures enjoined that Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, is to us, THE CHURCH and as individual and collective body, the complete shepherd:

The CHIEF Shepherd – 1 Peter 5:4.

“And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away“

The GREAT Shepherd – Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen“

The GOOD Shepherd – John 10:11, 14.

“I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep . . .14 I am the GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”

My PERSONAL Shepherd – Psalms 23

“The Lord is MY SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever” Psalms 23:1-6.

When you can comprehend this, there is no need to worry, live in fear and despondent because He’s ever faithful to who and what He is as our CHIEF, GREAT and GOOD SHEPHERD.

I pray that the BLESSEDNESS of having the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD AND PERSONAL SHEPHERD over you, should keep your heads up, shoulder high and heels high; more so, the mandate to triumph over all your infirmities, limitations and CIRCUMSTANCES in your day to day in LIFE and GODLINESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 8.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES

By Leave a Comment

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14/Amplified.

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

I want you to know for certain, and be assured to ensure, that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I meant you ARE the Church in TRIUMPH and not the architectural building where the ingathering to worship our God worthily and to serve Him acceptably is centred. And knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify [crucify] – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES [Galatians 5:16, 24-25].

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

It thus means TRIUMPH is by living in the sphere of the Holy Spirit LEADS – the Holy Spirit Inspired life, and by the WORD of God, through your human spirit-being by the auction of grace that’s within you [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27]. This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being that is SPIRIT-RULED and not BODILY-RULED or FLESHLY-RULED. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that’s within you – [Romans 8:1-17]. For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God.

And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING [1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 12:4], and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God [Romans 10:17].

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God [1 Corinthians 1:9], because there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. Thus, it indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is by your spirit and in the truth – the WORD of God [John 4:19-24].

The consequential of living outside the sphere of the Spirit led, is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

HEAR/Hearing

SEE/Seeing

TASTE/Tasting

SMELL/Smelling

FEEL/Feeling [Touch/Touching]

Sadly enough – there is EFFECT and there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These FIVE SENSES EFFECTS that results to the fall of the first creation man [Adam] and was defeated by the second Adam [Christ Jesus] to give us assurance of hope and triumph when we are living and walking by the WORD in the Spirit are these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]:

The LUST of the EYES

The LUST of the FLESH

The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECT was shown at the beginning by Eve and Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in FAITH and FELLOWSHIP with God [Genesis 3]. These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting at the TEMPTATION mountain [Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 4:1-11]. Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 John 2:15-17]. The matter therefore is this – will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses and its EFFECTS by the simple affirmative statements to His firm FAITH in the WORD – IT IS WRITTEN – Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 [1 John 5:4-5; Colossians 2:15; Philemon 1:6]. Thus meaning, No WORD, No FAITH and No enacting of the TRIUMPH in the grace [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. Otherwise, it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, Man-made make-believes, creeds and such like.

Therefore, as the TRIUMPHANT CHURCH in Christ Jesus stead, let us ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we ARE, and by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the DEEDS and desired EFFECTS of the Flesh [fleshy-ruled, bodily-ruled].

BE BLESSED IN the grace as you live and walk in triumph in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

BE BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 2:24.

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14 (Amplified).

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

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15 (Amplified).

“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS: IT’S THE ONLY UNIFYING BOND OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES [GREEKS] – IN REDEMPTION!
 
“Give NONE offence, NEITHER to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD” 1 Corinthians 10:32.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.
 
The scriptural books of the New Testament are grossly fielded with matters of the JEWS and the GENTILES – which sometimes the context of the GENTILE in reference is applicable to the GREEK indicating they are one and same in classification.
 
The scriptural people in the New Testament CONTEXT are classified into TWO and the THIRD groups of people in kind. The FIRST groups are THE JEWS, who are the custodian of THE LAW under Moses and depicted as the NATURAL OFFSPRING of Abraham. While the SECOND groups are THE GENTILES, often depict as THE GREEK, which together are summed to represent all people (called unbelievers) irrespective, who are not The Jews, for having no law of God as the natural Jews, thereby are seen to reason in their ways outside the law or commandments of God as given through Moses with the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham [Ephesians 2:1-22; Philippians 3:1-16; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Romans 2:17-29].
 
And most times in the scriptural context, the natural JEWS are classed as those of the CIRCUMCISION, while the GENTILES otherwise the GREEKS, are classed as the UNCIRCUMCISION. When either of The Jews – the CIRCUMCISION, and The Gentiles [Greeks] – UNCIRCUMCISION, gets BORN AGAIN [BORN OF GOD] in Christ Jesus, they form the basis for the THIRD groups called – THE CHURCH OF GOD. It thus means that the Jews and the Gentiles are UNIFIED and BONDED only in Christ Jesus, in the REDEMPTION – the REDEMPTION of God in Christ Jesus stead, for all mankind irrespective. Hence, the once term the Gentiles and the Jews are UNIFIED and BONDED by REDEMPTION, and have now become together – the SPIRITUAL JEWS [these are NEW CREATION breeds of God – having the law of God written in their hearts and with the written WORD available to them], which CIRCUMCISION is of the HEART and not of the FLESH to worship and serve together by the Holy Spirit, in spirit and truth, under one fold and irrespective, as written:
 
“For the name of God is blasphemed among the GENTILES through you, as it is written. 25 For CIRCUMCISION verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy CIRCUMCISION is made UNCIRCUMCISION. 26 Therefore if the UNCIRCUMCISION keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his UNCIRCUMCISION be counted for CIRCUMCISION? 27 And shall not UNCIRCUMCISION which is BY NATURE, if it FULFIL THE LAW, judge thee, who by the letter and CIRCUMCISION dost transgress the law? 28 For he is Not A Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that CIRCUMCISION, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH: 29 but he is a JEW, which is one INWARDLY; and CIRCUMCISION is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and NOT IN THE LETTER [FLESH]; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:24-29.
 
It’s only the basis of the REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, that formulated the principle that makes up of the “JEWS” and the “GENTILES” to become ascribed as “THE CHURCH OF GOD”. This gives both the basis to sing a common new sung instead of their respective old sung of difference that gives no wholesome stands and access to God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. The song that binds together the REDEEMED of God from every kindred, tongue, people and nation as it’s written:
 
“And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to OPEN THE SEALS thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
 
Today, the redeemed – born of God Jews and Gentiles that have been bonded to become the Church of God, can now together, without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy), have a STAND by GRACE to ACCESS by FAITH and ENJOY their REDEMPTION RIGHTS and Privileges, in Christ Jesus. For “THE CHURCH OF GOD” that consist of both the REDEEMED Jews and Gentiles – is God’s physical enabling on earth that guarantees the ensuring of the rights and privileges into His BLESSEDNESS to ‘POSSESSING OUR POSSESSION’ in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.
 
The CHURCH OF GOD, which is the CITY of God, the EMBASSY of God, the TEMPLE of God, the HOUSEHOLD of FAITH, the BODY of Christ, the AMBASSADOR of Christ and the MOUNT ZION and such like – is you, the redeemed (born of God) Jews and Gentiles. And knowingly and unknowingly, your being by redemption, is having the DNA of God in Christ Jesus to POSSESS God’s BLESSEDNESS, and in POSSESSING your Possessions as inheritance, in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead. For there’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION both THE JEWS and THE GENTILES – THE CHURCH OF GOD.
 
In Possessing your Kingdom PRIVILEGED and RIGHTFUL possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start, is to get along WITH – THE CHURCH OF GOD – the ASSEMBLY or INGATHERING of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes THE CHURCH OF GOD in a physical assembly – so goes YOU and THE NATION at large, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons. For in any ingathering the Holy Writ thus indicates the heavenly are equally present as it’s written:
 
“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that SPEAKETH better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).
 
For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING to ENSURE God’s BLESSEDNESS, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the local assembly Church of the Body of Christ Jesus, in order to BECOME a part to FUNCTION effectually and efficiently. There’s no room for a lone person outside the body that’s perfectly meant to be joined together – Ephesians 4:7-16. The reason been, the Church which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God – the Church of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly – by coming together, for the ingathering. The principal order of grace enables one and all, to access and receive these but not limited:
  • DELIVERANCE from all sorts (you name it).
  • HOLINESS – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.
  • POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.
Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that has intentionally BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in God’s REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written in the Holy Writ:
 
“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).
 
Therefore, we can now be emboldened to say, declare, announce, proclaim that our DOMINION IN REDEMPTION is beyond walls – and it’s the UNIFYING BOND of the JEWS and the GENTILES (GREEKS) in becoming – THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 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 10:30-33.
 
“For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 6 For IN Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION availeth any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH which worketh by love . . . 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach CIRCUMCISION, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the OFFENCE of the cross ceased” Galatians 5:5-6, 11.
 
“For Christ is the END of the LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth . . . 11 For the scripture saith, WHOSOEVER believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto ALL that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:4-6, 11-13.
 
“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:13-16.
 
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: 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.
 
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the SAME are the CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
 
“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with WISDOM of WORDS, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that PERISH FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which ARE SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS require a SIGN, and the GREEKS seek after WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH Christ CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a STUMBLINGBLOCK, and unto the GREEKS FOOLISHNESS; 24 but unto them which are called, BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD . . .30 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 1:17-24, 30-31.
 
“And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to OPEN THE SEALS thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
 
“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.
 
“For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also glorified” Romans 8:29-30.
 
“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 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9 (Emphasis Mine).
“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.
 
“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

It’s about APPROPRIATING and ENACTING our REDEMPTION – As A DONE DEED In Christ. And the reality [realisation] is in the knowing, as in these:
 
For you can NEVER POSSESS what you are UNWILLING to PURSUE by grace in Redemption.
 
For Kingdom life will only offer and give back to you what you are able in grace to place a DEMAND upon in order to obtain in REDEMPTION.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO IN and POSSESS the LAND which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.
 
“But upon mount ZION shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS their POSSESSION” Obadiah 1:17 (Hebrews 12:22-24).
 
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” Genesis 12:1-3.
 
“And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 FOR HE HAD POSSESSION OF FLOCKS, AND POSSESSION OF HERDS, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth” Genesis 26:13-14.
 
“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the [a]guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] POSSESSION [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14.
