THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU: TO MAKE A NEW CREATION YOU – TO LIVE IN POSSIBILITY!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, but A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV.

Have you ever wondered why our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, made this scriptural context statement in the Gospel of Mark 2:22, while in humanity?

“And no man putteth NEW WINE into OLD BOTTLES: else the NEW WINE doth burst the BOTTLES, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but NEW WINE must be put into NEW BOTTLES” Mark 2:22.

Just to update your knowledge if you don’t know as some have reasoned. It must be noted that in our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus’s day in humanity, people used animal skins-like goatskin for storing liquids. And fermented drinks like wine expands, and since an OLD WINESKIN would’ve already been stretched to its limit, the NEW WINE would tear the seams. It’s thus means that an OLD WINESKIN (OLD BOTTLE) will not stretch, yield, and respond to the gas pressure developed by the fermenting wine; and because the OLD BOTTLE will not stretch, it will just explode – which means, that both the OLD BOTTLE and WINE will be ruined and lost eventually. That’s a pure reason why a NEW WINE needs to be put into NEW BOTTLES. And when a NEW WINE is put into NEW WINESKINS (NEW BOTTLES), both are preserved, and nothing can be ruined and lost in course of time of use.

Also, the essence of the OLD WINE in a NEW BOTTLE is an idiomatic expression in context. It’s indicating and reflecting an OLD existing concept or institution is being offered and applied to be accepted as though it were still good, even when it’s not relevant and applicable in the NEW context. And thus, people who goes accepting and following such concept, are held in bondages and dogmas due to ignorance – the lack of the knowledge and understanding, of the truth – and the TRUTH being of the fact expression on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead, and for which Christ Jesus is both THE WORD and THE TRUTH.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE” John 8:39-32

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

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

And there are two things that are very cleared to me in this concept and context above that I will expatiate in detail in the future posts which are these:

  1. The continuous use of the Old Testament context, that’s already done away with, to legislate and justify things being practice to make it appears as if it’s still tangible and relevant for the now, when that ought not to be accommodated and accepted at all, knowing in REDEMPTION that Christ Jesus had already fulfilled such context for the saints (Believer’s of God) in His stead. [John 1:45; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 12:2; Romans 10:1-4; Matthew 22:38-46; Matthew 16:13-20].
  2. Another thought thus indicate that the New Wine – who is the Blessed Holy Spirit, is ONLY and PURELY meant and made available to the Believer’s (New Creation) in Christ Jesus and not given to the world (unbelieving one’s toward God and Christ Jesus) – Acts 20:20-21. This thus means that SALVATION access is the only opportunity available to all in the world and not the Holy Spirit. And receiving the Holy Spirit is only made possible after one had received the Salvation gospel in Christ Jesus, and anything else otherwise it’s perversion, counterfeit, adulteration, delusions and falsehoods. [John 14:15-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-11; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 2:1-13; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]

The New Wine speaks of the Holy Spirit; and besides being a Godhead in trinity, and to lead the Believer’s in Christ Jesus in all through humanity, He’s also given to gladden the hearts of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead. Hence part of His characteristics is the believing ones comforter – if you recall that in the scripture, that Christ Jesus did promised and assured the Believer’s in Him of sending them the promised comforter. He called Him the promised of the Father; and that promised had already been fulfilled and available for all to access after salvation without prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) and of course irrespective. [John 14:15-17; Romans 5:5; Psalms 104:15; Joel 2:19, 28-29]

The earliest Apostle’s of our Lord Jesus Christ where made to assemble by the instructions given to them by our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, as in the context of Acts 1:5, 8. This is in order for them to receive the promise of the Father God in Joel 2:19, 28-29 and not limited, as emphasis by our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus in John 7:37-39 and Luke 24:49. This is in respect and pertaining to receiving the Holy Spirit baptism.

And as they obeyed that instructions as they were fully told, it eventually came to pass as written in Acts 2:1-13, that they eventually received the promised of God to them; which is to all till this day until the Lord returns to all, who will believe on the saving grace in Christ Jesus stead. Those who observed and witnessed the Apostles in this uniquely and blessed manifestation which is attributed to a PENTECOST experience, call the Apostles in the acts and experiences, as a people drunk with a NEW WINE. And of course, they were drunk indeed with a NEW WINE – The HOLY SPIRIT of promise.

It’s upon such uniqueness that Apostle Paul draw out a comparison to the drunkenness effect that people do experience from an ordinary WINE while he admonishes the Ephesians Church to see the need to be also drunk rather with the Holy Spirit in order to have the otherwise contrary results from a mere drunkenness as explained in the context as it’s written:

“. . . 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are FULL of NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“And be not DRUNK WITH WINE, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the Spirit; 19 speaking to yourselves in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING and making MELODY in your heart to the Lord; 20 GIVING THANKS always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 SUBMITTING yourselves one to another in the fear of God” Ephesians 5:18-21.

To being filled with the NEW WINE, the Holy Spirit, requires a NEW YOU, a NEW CREATION body to dwell therein. Otherwise, it’s like putting the NEW WINE in an OLD BOTTLE – the OLD YOU, which is the unregenerate life, unconverted life, and unrepentant life. The Holy Spirit of TRUTH is only set aside for the believing ones of God in Christ Jesus stead and not for those in the world that have not believe in the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to THE JEWS, and also to THE GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

I welcome you now to make yourself available to God in Christ Jesus, to become a New Creation in order to access the New Wine that will make all the difference in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen . . . 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will POUR out my spirit upon ALL flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit” Joel 2:19, 28-29.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, IF ANY MAN THIRST, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that BELIEVETH on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which THEY THAT BELIEVE ON HIM SHOULD RECEIVE: for the Holy Ghost was NOT YET GIVEN; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, THESE MEN ARE FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom moses in the law, and THE PROPHETS, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” John 1:45.

“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that THE PROPHETS have spoken: 26 ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at MOSES and all THE PROPHETS, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself . . . 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in THE LAW OF MOSES, and in THE PROPHETS, and in THE PSALMS, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their UNDERSTANDING, that they might UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES, 46 and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day” Luke 24:25-27, 44-46.

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4.

“Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:2.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and going about to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

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

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY

By Leave a Comment

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY: ANY PROPHECY MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou DO IT NOT: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

It’s time to wake up from your SLUMBERING and WANDERING desire to be seeking for a PROPHECY instead of seeking for the Lord God of PROPHECY in Christ Jesus stead. And ENOUGH of that FOOLISHNESS, IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY. You must come to know that no matter who DARE speaks into your life as a MAN OR ANGEL and such like, on THAT so called and acclaimed PROPHECY or PROPHETIC MESSAGE, MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY of JESUS in your Life – What Christ has DONE, is DOING and will do THROUGH you in His Word by the blessed Holy Spirit that’s given and living within you. The Testimony of God in Christ Jesus wherein you have a better and done – ACCESS, PROMISE, COVENANT, RELATIONSHIP, FELLOWSHIP and such like. That’s the HOW TO MEASURE and SECTION the TRUE and GENUINE spirit of PROPHECY. For the message is to EDIFY, EXHORT And COMFORT. Anything else especially attracting FEAR and THREATS in all its ramifications is false and falsehood no matter who speaks or is speaking. Be a Victor and not a victim especially in your vulnerable moment. It’s not about the NOISE but the WORD of God in graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, OR AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/Emphasis Mine.

The Holy Scripture is graciously clear about the spirit of PROPHECY for the New Creation in Christ Jesus. It’s about the TESTIMONY of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in us. It must AFFIRM gracefully to the Holy Spirit WITHIN you by THE WORD in God’s love and not to intimidate and undermine your place in Christ Jesus stead.

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:17.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

Godly inspired PROPHECY is about TESTIFYING, AFFIRMING, DECLARING and PROCLAIMING the TESTIMONY of our FAITH on what Jesus has done, is doing and will do in your life by THE WORD and HOLY SPIRIT, which connotes EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT.

“But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH himself; but he that PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH the church” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4.

It thus means that a GENUINE PROPHET with PROPHECY and is PROPHESYING is the one that graciously and gracefully ministers and speaks to people unto EDIFICATION in order to promote their spiritual growth in wisdom, devotion, holiness and joy of the Lord; he speaks also WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT to uphold and advise concerning the matters of God; and he speaks WORDS OF CONSOLATION to compassionately comfort in all matters of LIFE and GODLINESS (Godly Living).

And in all these, it MUST be without acts of FEAR and THREAT and GAINS. For God has not given us the spirit of FEAR, THREAT and INTIMIDATION [2 Timothy 1:7]. And God’s perfect love of Christ in PROPHECY cast out every element of FEAR and TORMENT and CONFUSION and SCHISM [1 John 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; Ephesians 3:17-19]. There must be a profound SCRIPTURAL indication of genuine prophecy as in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4, that any can believe upon and must be ever acclaimed to possess, give, deliver and receive of God. And that’s the most gracious and graceful way to avoid and KEEP AT BAY the false PROPHETS with FALSEHOODS, CUNNING and CRAFTY PROPHECIES out of your good life with their THREAT, FRIGHTENING, MADE UP FEARS and BONDAGES.

May I say emphatically that  genuine PROPHETS and PROPHECIES should give others the opportunity to EXAMINE, that is, to JUDGE without being judgemental to ascertain that the prophecy acclaimed by them is of God and Scriptural as expected in the light of the scriptures otherwise such is proud, arrogant and false [1 Corinthians 14:3-5, 29-33; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 19:10]. Know today that ANYTHING contrary is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT [Acts 8:9-26].

Are you building your life on just the Prophet’s Prophecy? Or a Prophetic book referenced to you? Please pause and think scripturally about it before you act on it. God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit is still actively at work today as in the Bible days and for your tomorrow. God’s WORD is the only authentic, authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated prophecy that EXAMINES any so-called prophecy from any so call Prophet or Prophetess, for your today and tomorrow’s VICTORY and TRIUMPH, irrespective of anything whatsoever. [Hebrews 13:8; Hebrews 4:12-13; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17;  2 Timothy 2:15].

DON’T BE DELUDED BY ANYONE OR ANY MATERIAL – READ THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR SPIRIT BEING FOR YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET FOR YOUR DEFINITION AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH himself; but he that PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH the church” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“And they OVERCAME and CONQUERED him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death” Revelation 12:11/Amplified.

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the LAW among my disciples . .19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:16, 19-20.

“Beloved, BELIEVE NOT every spirit, but TRY [EXAMINE] the spirits whether they ARE of God: because many FALSE prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the world” John 4:1-3/Emphasis Mine.

“For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and ALL MAY BE COMFORTED. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are SUBJECT to the prophets. 33 For God is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . . 36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37 If any man THINK himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done DECENTLY and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:31-40.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To the OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices, they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGERS with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHETS and the PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same meaning, are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister to God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT; in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God doesn’t leave His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfil His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, THE RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass through any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results in EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by the WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be EXAMINED indicates them to be erroneous, ignorant, proud, rude, self-egoistic and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of being not an ardent searcher of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practiced, because they are unbiblical and unscriptural, they result to FORTUNE TELLING (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims to and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT’S PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 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. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall NOT FIND IT. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Dear friend, are you living in a spiritual drought? Are you desiring for the Word of the Lord that leads to daily salvation and deliverance [Romans 10:8-13] but it seems all you see around to feed from are fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, methods, creeds, shows and self-created denomination doctrines? – [Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-20]. And worst, when you can’t find the principles of the word and the process, instead you see craft, fraud and scams to extort you in the grace? – [Philippians 1:15-18].

It’s time to do something about the drought [famine] of the hearing of God’s word, for your own good as an antidote to restore a healthy spiritual sensitivity in the grace – [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20]. And you need to know that you can’t blame people or anyone about your spiritual drought when there’s opportunities of being informed as you are now reading, to safeguard errors and being mistaken in the faith; and also, to make you do something about your spiritual wellbeing in the grace, as you desired to do life and live godly by  the WORD, in Christ Jesus stead. Your becoming for today and tomorrow are within your decision – and you need to make it happen in the grace without blaming anyone with your given opportunity in the grace to stop any form and signal of spiritual drought [famine] about you.

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, I beg you – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“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.

“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 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of these monsters called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately, today, many don’t fully know and realise that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE does exist; and there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN [Hu-Man] is a being, that is, a spirit being [subconscious place], have a soul [conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will] and live in a body [physique, physical structure].

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – [Romans 10:17], which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – [Hebrews 11:6], and not pleasing God makes one vulnerable to the enemy and cohorts of  our faith in the grace [Proverbs 16:7]. And to live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you, and rather, you can’t PLEASE God for lack of faith by the word is sinful and has consequences – [Romans 14:23]. And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – [Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47]. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT!

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a results of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – [1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11].

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – [Luke 12:15]. And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can, and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. [Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4].

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]. For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – [Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47].

It’s time to RESOLVE to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – [Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3].

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING in the grace.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – [Amos 8:11-14].

Its time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – [1 Peter 5:8-11]. And when you feed healthily, our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY

By Leave a Comment

OUR FAITH – THE VICTORY: THE SPIRITUAL, VITAL AND LEGAL TENDER TO DO LIFE AND KINGDOM BUSINESS ON EARTH

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

FAITH is not a DOCTRINE or CREED or BYE-LAWS and such like and has NONE on it. It is SPIRITUAL, LEGAL and VITAL to our Christian Walk transactions; and it’s imperative and important in helping us in becoming that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God and the only scriptural possible means to PLEASE God. It is a product of the Spirit and it’s synergised by the Word of God (John 6:63; Romans 10:17;  Hebrews 11). FAITH comes at the hearing and Faith goes away at No continuous hearing of the WORD of God – meaning FAITH realisation and actualisation is depending on the CONTINUOUS response to the WORD of God (Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17).

Currently in the World, the DE FACTO to exchange is the US Dollar. If one transacts business outside another nations acceptable legal tender say Dollars ‘$’ for USA or Pound Sterling ‘£’ for United Kingdom and such like, your action will warrant a fake trafficking and an arrest will take place no matter who you are. In the same scenario, there’s no single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of FAITH – for its the ONLY legal and vital tender between the Heavenly and Earthly, in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING business affairs.

Hence there is the need to WALK IN FAITH and most importantly CONTEND in Life FOR THE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN. The reason is because Faith is the Victory by which life warfare can be dealt with and overcome in every level of life in the world EARTHLY affairs (1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-11).

Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen (2 Corinthians 4:13, 18). God deals with all according to: ‘THE’ measure of Faith and not by ‘A’ measure of faith. That makes the vehicle ‘FAITH’ spiritual, vital and legal tender to all of life endeavours, kingdom business advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

Therefore, keep your walk of FAITH alive and steadily steady in all LIFE and GODLY LIVING ramifications. All things are POSSIBLE unto them whose FAITH are ACTING on whom and what they BELIEVE of God in His WORD by the Holy Spirit. Amen – Mark 9:23; Mark 10:27 and Matthew 19:26.

“But unto every one of us is given grace according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST” Ephesians 4:7.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints” Jude 1:3.

THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD

THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD: ENABLES GLOWING, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING IN GRACE . . . And SHINING In GLORY!
 
“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.
 
Light is and will always be superior to darkness at any point of showing. Meaning it is by the amount of light you let into your life that outshines the darkness about you. And this light is as a result of The WORD of the Lord God you’ve allowed to flood into your being. For more WORD gives to more LIGHT that outshine darkness at any level. And Jesus is THE WORD – and His fulness in you will give the enabling to keep you GLOWING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Him. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14.
 
It’s written in the Holy Writ that “The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS give LIGHT; it gives UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” (Psalms 119:130). If The WORD does not have an entrance into you, surely there would be darkness or works of darkness about you to deal with. You can’t live beyond the amount of the LIGHT you have of God – Psalms 119:105; for the just shall live by his faith in the light of The Word – Habakkuk 2:4. And the Word shines in darkness and darkness cannot outshine, overcome and comprehend it – John 1:1-5.
 
Wisdom as a result of the knowledge and understanding of The Word, makes a man’s face to shine and the boldness of his face shall be changed from glory to glory by the Spirit of The Lord – Ecclesiastes 8:1; 2 Corinthians 3:18; and this breathed inspiration, revelation and empowerment of The Spirit enables us to do life with understanding and without sweat and stress – Job 32:8; Job 33:4.
 
Today! Give The Word of God an entrance by inclining to His sayings, you will break-forth into wholeness and your path shall shine more brighter and brighter until the dawn of a new you in a perfect day with God – Proverbs 4:18, 20-22. The WORD Makes WHOLE and gives the enabling to our glowing and refreshing in God’s graciousnesss and gracefulness.
 
For in God, light will always illuminates out of darkness no matter the strength of that darkness. God does not shine light UPON darkness but instead allow light to outshine OUT of darkness. In that which you considered or have considered to be full of darkness, God will by the WORD, cause darkness to shine out of it. 2 Corinthians 4:6; Genesis 1: 1-5.
 
Therefore, don’t be afraid of the dark or darkness when you are flooded with the WORD in your INNER being. For the beauty, glory, glowing and refreshing of the light within you is known in the darkest of the darkness about you. The DARKER the DARKNESS, the BRIGHTER the LIGHT by the WORD.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
MEDITATE AND BE BLESSED.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to GIVE the LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.
“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.
 
“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was THE LIGHT of men. 5 And THE LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS; AND THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT . . 14 And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld HIS GLORY, THE GLORY as of the ONLY BEGOTTEN of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14.
 
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.
 
“But the PATH of the JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH more and more unto the perfect day . . . 20 My son, ATTEND TO MY WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; KEEP them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH” Proverbs 4:18, 20-22.

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION: IT’S OUR GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE SUPREME TASK!
 
“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.
 
Why do people get so worried that in the existence and presence of the Church, the embassy and ambassador of God for human and the world redemption, that the world is still going crazy in stupidity and foolishness, and in every bad taste of trajectory with wars, hunger, distortion, confusion and unstable governments and governance. The answer it’s simply because, for all the unimaginable problems in the world – all that the world do hear and see is today is nothing but RELIGION and DENOMINATION and DOCTRINAL sectarianism, sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Unlike the early Church Disciple’s and Apostle’s of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who PREACHED the GOSPEL and were acclaimed as people who do turned their world inside out or upside down by the GOSPEL they proclaimed and were set to die for the cause and course.
 
“. . . 6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME hither also . . .” Acts 17:1-7
“Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and PERCEIVED that they were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT men, they marvelled; and they took KNOWLEDGE of them, that they had BEEN with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it” Acts 4:13.
 
For a no GOSPEL world in any phase and dispensation, will indicate all the worries of today and such like that we see. For only by the GOSPEL that the world can experience the EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages, in order to have faith toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus and to receive the REVELATION by faith to faith, of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS (righteous stand) for complete liberation of all. Romans 5:1-2; Acts 20:20-21.
 
The consummation of God’s elect for man’s salvation with religion, denomination and doctrinal sect DOGMAS will not emancipate any, no matter how much investment and resources, instead it will get people enslaved in the DOGMAS and keep them to be devoted in commitment and dedication to such-like sectarianism of believe as we see across the board.
 
Religiously denominationised and doctrinal “GOSPEL” are very destructive and keeps people in perpetual subjection and bondages and dogmas as long it’s there. That’s why Apostle Paul warns the Galatians Church of their shift from the Gospel that brought them genuine salvation into “ANOTHER GOSPEL”.
 
“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though WE, or AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.
 
For the GOSPEL is not a religion, denomination and doctrine but the POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation irrespective of gender, colour, tongue and geographical location and inclinations. [Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:26-29].
 
The Gospel has been before the law, the psalms and the prophet; and it answered those who are outbound and out-bent by the law, Psalms and prophet’s as basis and ground of faith toward God and His Christ rather than the gospel which is Christ and express in the WORD, of which He’s the WORD (John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7). God PREACHED the GOSPEL to Father Abraham through whom the whole nation and families shall be BLESSED on the earth, long before the law, the psalms and the prophets and others came to being. Meaning also, long before religion, denomination and doctrine, was crafted and shaped by men for all to be enslaved into as a sect.
 
“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” Galatians 3:6-9 [2 Corinthians 5:17-21].
 
“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.
 
I am emboldened to say today, that any FOUNDATION that’s not centered on the GOSPEL wherein God’s power and wisdom are ascertained for human SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS, leads to SELF, HYPE and APPLAUD and ENTITLEMENTS of men and not after God and His Christ Jesus, for the good of all mankind in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Corinthians 1:18-24].

“For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.
 
“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have NOT BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have NOT HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report? 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17.
 
“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was NOT SPOKEN of, they shall see: and they that have NOT HEARD shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.
 
“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.
 
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 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.
 
“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.
 
“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city” Acts 8:1-8.

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN

By Leave a Comment

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN: WORKING INSIDE OUT!

“For we [who ARE born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually TRANSFORMED, RENEWED, SET APART for His PURPOSE and] ARE the TRUE CIRCUMCISION, who WORSHIP IN the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult IN Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we HAVE or who we ARE] IN the flesh” Philippians 3:3/AMP.

It is the SYNERGY that’s within that ENERGISES and makes all the DIFFERENCE, and it’s all about these:

* The GRACE Within,

* The FAITH Within,

* The WORD Within,

* The POWER Within.

FOR WE:

* Are Saved and grown by GRACE

* Are to Live and triumph by FAITH

* Are Sustained and maintained by the WORD and

* Are Empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT – to enable us to thrive, fulfill purpose meaningfully, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For we ARE the New creation JEW that’s of the heart [the spirit] and INWARDLY ARE – Spirited, Hearted, Reborn, Recreated, Circumcised, Called, Justified, Predestined, Foreknown, Chosen, Accepted, Blessed, Made, Qualified, Glorified, Purposed, Sanctified, Renewed, Transformed, Delivered, Translated, Forgiven and more . . . in Christ Jesus.

“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; whose praise is not of men, but of God”  Romans 2:28-29.

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE. 29 For whom He FOREKNEW, He also PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He PREDESTINED, these He also CALLED; whom He called, these He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, these He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30/NKJV.

Therefore, be ENERGISED and let it be that THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN – WORKING INSIDE OUT. For the working within is about what God in Christ Jesus has DONE IN you by His grace, through faith in His word by the Holy Spirit.

“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.

It’s knowing and living through what’s IN you, that makes what it’s done FOR you by God in Christ Jesus meaningful and purposeful. What’s done IN you, that’s what you can actualised to become your reality in order to ENSURE what’s done FOR you in the GRACE, through FAITH by the WORD in the POWER of the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad IN our HEARTS [INNERMOST BEING, SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died FOR us” Romans 5:5, 8.

It’s my earnest of prayers that what is done IN you that’s within you, will becomes your reality in doing life and living godly by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Be Blessed.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that overcometh the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE. 29 For whom He FOREKNEW, He also PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He PREDESTINED, these He also CALLED; whom He called, these He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, these He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30/NKJV.

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

“Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath MADE us, and not we ourselves; we ARE his people, and the sheep of his pasture” Psalms 100:2-3.

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath SHINED in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the POWER may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 And hope maketh not ASHAMED; because the love of God is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 5, 8.

“You ARE of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is IN you is GREATER than he who is IN the world. 5 They ARE of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We ARE of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6/NKJV.

“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.

“Look at the proud one, His soul is not right within him, But the righteous will LIVE by his FAITH [in the true God]” Habakkuk 2:4/AMP [Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:16-17].

COMMUNICATING THE TRUTH

By Leave a Comment

COMMUNICATING THE TRUTH: IT’S COMMUNICATING THE WORD!

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE in MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And you shall know THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

A mere act of being religious, ceremonious, sectarian and relying on motivational positive thinking words and comfort from a religiosity speaking dogma whose intentions may momentarily make one feel good and be excited and enthusiastic toward one’s desire for a while; just know that it can’t LIBERATE one neither can it give one the GENUINE in-born FREEDOM of the FAITH on ‘THE TRUTH’; for the TRUTH is only possible in God’s WORD and stationed in the human spirit where the FAITH to daily victory and triumph can be exercised in the grace. For you are born of God, it’s needful to COMMUNICATE THE TRUTH in context – and the TRUTH is THE WORD and in THE WORD, and it’s efficacious in the now and always, as you enact it scripturally to be well and whole in LIFE and GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING.

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

Communication could be verbal or in action, through any formats of reaching out to meet matters for self or others about us. When you communicate THE WORDS of this life as the holy writ of Acts 5:20 suggests that we should do, that is, to speak ‘THE TRUTH’ not just TRUTH. For only ‘THE TRUTH’ known and believed and spoken forth can SET one FREE and bring forth the freedom LIBERATION, TRIUMPH, VICTORY and such like, that one needs to do and live life effectually and efficiently in Christ Jesus stead.

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

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE , RESULTS ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

THE TRUTH, which is THE WORD, is spirit and life; and hence, a life giver and life giving, when communicated in TRUTH, as the Holy Writ does indicates – John 6:63. More so, the Ministering spirits – the Angelic messengers – of our God unto us, only LISTEN or HARKEN to ‘THE VOICE OF THE WORD‘ and nothing else, in carrying out their angelic services concerning us and all. They are in the ministering services to listen to the noise and shouting around except the THE WORD that personifies THE TRUTH. So, communicate THE TRUTH, THE WORD if you wants to enjoy the angelic ministry of God in our time as enjoined Scripturally.

“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be HEIRS of salvation?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO His commandments HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

When you communicate THE WORD, which is THE TRUTH, you are communicating JESUS personified. He is THE TRUTH, and He is THE WORD. The article ‘THE’ in the context “THE WORD, THE TRUTH, personified Jesus. And what that means is this – that what Jesus Christ, would have done presently and physically if he was in humanity before you right now, is what THE WORD, THE TRUTH will and would do for you NOW and ALWAYS, as Him present with you. THINK ABOUT IT.

“Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

That’s the reason, when you read the Holy Bible, don’t read it as you would have read any other book, because the Holy Spirit, the author, is ever present, to personified the Scriptures literally for your good in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. You then read the Bible in the FACE of JESUS personified in your inner being to enable you AUTHENTICATE and ENACT the SCRIPTURES, otherwise, you will only be filled with passion, knowledge of ‘THE WORD’ and not having the UNDERSTANDING of the application that brings about the needed ‘THE TRUTH’ to make life simplified. John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7; John 14:6; John 8:32.

Know full well, that it is only by the “THE TRUTH” one know of “THE WORD” that SETS one FREE; and that also GIVES one the needed LIBERATION from destruction and the HEALINGS in every facets of one’s being in Christ Jesus stead. The TRUTH gives THE LIFE needed to thrive in God in Christ Jesus, gives THE LIGHT to illuminate one from the errors of darkness and the darkness of life; and shows one THE WAY and THE PATH of God in Christ Jesus, to do life and live godly, in order to enjoy the very best and fulness of God. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18; John 1:1-5.

And the FAITH to overcome the world system comes by THE WORD. Meaning, a no – THE WORD, means a no FAITH, because there’s a no – THE TRUTH, which is needed to communicate to the HEAVENLY for our EARTHLY affairs to be resolved SCRIPTURALLY. Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5. It worth pondering if I were you.

Just know today and always, that – communicating THE TRUTH, is about communicating THE WORD, leading to knowing THE WAY and experiencing THE LIGHT. Hence, there is the NEED to know and understand – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: FOR A NO WORD, MEANS A NO FAITH – AND A NO PLEASING OF GOD!

“. . . 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God. 3 For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:1-3.

We live in the days of divergence INFORMATION. And information generates what we BELIEVE and our BELIEVING trajectory, which invariably affects either our FAITH toward God or create in us the attitude of FATE on other things. And INFORMATION is available in almost every facet of our ways of doing life for various reasons; and majority of the time, the information that are there may lure people away from the TRUTH for the intended purpose for them not to HAVE FAITH IN GOD. And unfortunately, that’s the reason why the INFORMATION that are available in some sources are not TRANSFORMING and TRANSFORMATIVE for the good of doing life to lead one to godly living – toward God and FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Suffice to know that FAITH is not BELIEVE and BELIEVE is not FAITH though sometimes we use them interchangeably which doesn’t make spiritual scriptural context sense. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. And FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS in SCRIPTURAL context.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. It thus means if FAITH can COME or be activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. Which then indicates that a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, and a NO PLEASING OF GOD – for FAITH PLEASES God Hebrews 11:6; and the consequence of a NO FAITH is emptiness, noise making, foolishness, stupidity, ignorance and God kept at a distance, for God can’t dwell outside His WORD.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [walk with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 Amplified.

Therefore, do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in every way.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32.

I plead to you today and even now to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to all His PROMISES, toward our path in doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 22-24.
