BE ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Leave a Comment

BE ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS!

“But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A SCEPTRE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, and HATED INIQUITY; therefore God, even thy God, hath ANOINTED thee with the OIL of gladness ABOVE THY FELLOWS” Hebrews 1:8-9.

Living by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus, delivers from Religious Dogmas, Bondages, Make-Believe and Man-Made Traditions and such like doctrinal bondages. (Romans 10:4-10; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

Sin does not only make one cheap, ugly, dirty, filthy and priceless or worthless before God, it reproaches, steals, kills and destroys an individual, family, generation, community and nations. That’s why Satan is likened to it.

But RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is of God in Christ Jesus, makes one to stand before God without shame, fear, guilt and inferior of any form of complexity. It establishes and fortifies individual, family, generation, community and nation. It’s a defence and delivers in the days of life and godly troubles and challenges of any sorts.

Therefore, RECONNECT yourself, family, generation, community and nation back to the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Be BLESSED in EVERYWAY in CHRIST JESUS. AMEN.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE wherein WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“Righteousness EXALTS a nation: but SIN is a REPROACH to any people” Proverbs 14:34.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.

“The RIGHTEOUSNESS of the upright shall DELIVER them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness” Proverbs 11:6.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30

“. . . 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 . . .  8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:1-10.

“But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and his RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you” Matthew 6:33.

“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 14 In RIGHTEOUSNESS shalt thou BE ESTABLISHED: thou shalt be FAR from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 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 54:13-17.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . .14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God.  15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, ABBA, Father . . . 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  28 And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE.29 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 8:11, 14-15, 26-30.

IT’S TIME TO DARE THAT VISION

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

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

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

I can’t help taking 30years to READ to KNOW the VISION as JESUS CHRIST did, then RUN with the READ and UNDERSTOOD VISION as He did in His three and half years Ministry of FULFILLING the Father God’s given cause and purpose. And fulfilling the commissioned mandate and assignment of the Father by READING to know and understand was a set prerogative, instead of RUNNING aimlessly without full known PURPOSE and understood ASSIGNMENT for thirty-three and half years as some may do, or may have done and have been doing. And unfortunately, that’s tragically tragic – running aimlessly and being burnt out by putting the cart before the horse.

Now, I am asking you – what can you learn of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – in His plan and pursuit in doing that which is to fulfill the PURPOSE of God as assigned to him. And how do you want to go about yours in purpose as touching to READ before you RUN, in any of these undermentioned but not limited life MATTERS if you want to TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE:

** Marital adventures

** Business Adventures

** Family Adventures

** Career Adventures

** Ministerial Calling Adventures

** Political Governance Adventures

** Leadership and Management Adventures

** Relationship Adventures

** . . . and many such like.

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED

By Leave a Comment

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

In life ABUSE means – ABNORMAL (ABNORMALLY) USE. It’s a result of being UNINFORMED of the PURPOSE of a thing. There’s ABUSE in almost in every places in life – abuse of individual or people, position, power, resources (money, time and effort) and opportunities and materials.

An example of abusive atmosphere can be found in marriages. In some marriages, because majority of time most people are not properly INFORMED of the PURPOSE of MARRIAGE, they abuse their spouses. We see often how much is spent on FORTUNES in terms of – Time, Money, Material and Efforts – in preparing for a day WEDDING while those concerns make no adequate preparation and are not properly INFORMED to the set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for the intended MARRIAGE supposedly – that should be for life in grace till death do either or both apart. Hence, we see today many infightings and abuses within, and unnecessary reasons being given for divorce respectively. This OUGHT not to be, especially in a Born-Again Christian Home. And unfortunately, in most cases, where children are involved, it has created an incomprehensible and unimaginable devastating and depressing state of mind for the children in such marital relationship.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE (UNEASE) place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts. For by it many talents, vision and dreams to enhance life and godly living has ended up in the GRAVEYARDS unfulfilled.

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God to that your intended VISION. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:2 which states “And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it”.

The scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ’ but rather – “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING no matter the prevailing circumstances. The principle herein is this – you have to READ in order to acquire or until you obtain the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the said VISIONED CONCEPT – that is, the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that intended life vision in terms of – Executing Business/Enterprise, Pursuing a Career, Positioning towards Gospel Ministry, Governance in Politics/Governance, Leadership/Management, Marriage/Relationship of all sorts and many other such likes. When you don’t read before you run as Scripturally set, then failures and frustration awaits; just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations; simply because of their RUNNING ahead by their mere ZEAL or PASSION, without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND, the FULNESS at hand of what it takes in their VISIONED CONCEPT.

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

Therefore, as you set your day PLANS PURPOSE AND PURSUITS, endeavour to be sure by READING to UNDERSTAND before RUNNING with it. BE WELL INFORMED TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE TRANSFORMATION.

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

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

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

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

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

It’s time as an unparalleled army of God in Christ Jesus, to exercise the KNOW-HOW to be THE COMBATANT and MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER with the ARMOURING for warfare –

and THE ANTIDOTE to deal with the ENEMY and COHORTS WILES and ASSAULT.

“Through God we shall do VALIANTLY (VICTORIOUSLY): for He it is that shall TREAD (TRAMPLED) DOWN our ENEMIES” Psalms 60:12 Emphasis Mine.

It may not surprise you on how much yearly in budgetary investment that’s showcase for military might by some nations. Their intent is to ensure that both their OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE mechanism along with the training of their combatants military forces are safely set at the top of the range for combating. This they do as a measure to stand out among other nations and to ensure the measure of warning signs on their national neighbourhoods and competitors on how prepared they are in any battle’s that may arise – be it on land, air and sea and such like.

Today, lots of nations are investing heavily to fight cyberspace wars against many factors in the sphere and while others are on terrorism’s of various sphere. This is to tell you that the ENEMY and COHORTS are are at wars naturally as you can hear or look or see or read about of various places and some are near you or your are a part of the national wars and warfare; while some are undergoing some threatenings and others are at an international war investment in various continent of the world. In each case WEAPONRY are involved with personal answering to their commandants and head of state as commissioned.

DESPITE all the huge investments in these natural nation’s, life’s are lost, weaponry weapons are destroyed while some goes obsolete in order to give room to new innovations in technology. This natural wars and warfare’s are at vast difference from the  wars and warfare’s which the unparalleled army’s of God in Christ Jesus is engaged with; and are equally located and stationed in every territory of the world beyond the limits and boundaries of nations and national limitations.

As in the humanly made army described above that are limited in nature in comparison to the divinely arranged spiritual army, as ascribed as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God in Christ Jesus –  the weaponry weapons in use for warfare are not carnal – meaning are not man-made or humanly crafted. The weaponry weapons in use by the UNPARALLELED ARMY are not external as in the world; and are spiritual made as an OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour for spiritual warfare. For our warfare are spiritual and not fought or battle in the flesh (physical) though it has physical effect, hence our armour are expected to be PUT ON 24/7 by God’s unparalleled army in order to be always readily ready to triumph in Christ Jesus stead in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14. This is also explained in full as enjoined in the epistle scripture of Ephesians 6:10-18, as instructed by Apostle Paul to the Church of Ephesus. It’s by PUTTING ON this OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour that we can be able to stand AGAINST the enemy and cohorts in every phase of warfare in our walk of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It must be noted that the armouring for our warfare to battle against the WILES of the enemy and cohorts mode of operandi – atevery and all their forms of manifestations, against our FAITH in Christ Jesus – are readily available for our disposal and utilisation. Our place in Christ is to EXERCISE the rights and privileges in the FAITH upon which we stand in Christ Jesus in order to enact, authentic and put the weapons and armouring into use to ensure and assure the essence and purpose for which it’s been given to us all – as the REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus stead.

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

For when our grandstanding PURPOSE are not exercise or utilised, and misused, the enemy rule and reign – hence there are many REDEEMED today that are still struggling in their walk and work with God, for not their inability to EXERCISE or be EXERCISING the SURELY and ASSURED weaponry weapon to bring ALL the works of the enemy and cohorts down as Jesus and the early Disciples – called Apostles did exercise ahead of time before us all Christ Jesus stead.For we are enjoined in this scripture to:

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not CARRYING ON our [spiritual] WARFARE according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT PHYSICAL [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our WEAPONS are DIVINELY POWERFUL for the destruction of fortresses.5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified.

“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.

Herein are some major spiritual weaponry or armouring to be exercised to put to use in order – to authenticate and enact and realised our VICTORY in ALL battles and warfare:

** a. EXERCISING the spirit of being always on your UNIFORM – SPIRITUAL

ARMOURING and WEAPONRY – Ephesians 6:10-18.

** b. EXERCISING the WORD of FAITH (Knowledge and understanding of the WORD and Faith

declaration or Confession of the WORD accordingly) – Mark 11:22-23;

Luke 4:1-3; Luke 4:1-13 (Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 91:11-12);

Revelation 12:11; Matthew 8:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1

Peter 5:8-9; John 6:63; Hebrews 10:23; Proverbs 6:2; Romans 10:8-10.

** c. EXERCISING the NAME of JESUS – Luke 10:17; Philippians 2:9-11; Acts

4:12; Acts 3:6-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:16-20; John 14:12-17.

** d. EXERCISING the BLOOD of JESUS – Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 9:12;

Colossians 1:14: Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6.

** e. EXERCISING the Power of PRAISE and WORSHIP – Psalms 149; Psalms 150; Psalms 8:2;

2 Chronicles 20:20-25, Joshua 6:1-21.

** f. EXERCISING the PLACE of PRAYERS and FASTING – Acts 4:23-31; Acts 6:4; Mark 1:35; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 17:13-21/Mark 9:14-29; Luke 18:1-8; James 5:13-16; Mark 6:12-13. Matthew 6:5-18.

** g. EXERCISING the Leadership of the Holy Spirit – Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 3:8; John 16:13-15; Romans 8: 11-16, 26-27; Jude 1:20; Ephesians 6:18.

And there are three strategic WILES and MODE of OPERANDI that are scriptural known in use by satanic and cohorts against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and for each we are fully informed with the Scriptural ANTIDOTE that can and will always COMBAT the enemy and cohort wiles as we are enjoined to:

“PUT ON THE WHOLE Armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL” Ephesians 6:11.

Herein are the ENEMY and COHORTS wiles and mode of Operandi and our instructed antidote to note about them and the how to deal with their craft and cunning tactics accordingly:

  1. AS A ROARING LION – 1 Peter 5:8.

ANTIDOTE: 1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7.

  1. AS A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING – Matthew 7:15.

ANTIDOTE: Matthew 7:16, 20.

  1. AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT – 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

ANTIDOTE: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

Suffice to know full well that overtime, one thing is certain and it’s worth noting that – 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 that’s universally located and stationed – and known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and all these in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit through His UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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*

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; and thus 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 militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and without, at WAR with the enemy and cohorts that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; at WAR with spiritual forces and principalities and powers in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your BRETHREN that are in THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11;

And because we ARE at war and warfare entails, it takes a spirited combatant Militant-Like Soldier stand to combat to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial and representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be court-martial and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statuesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

Be assured that our weaponry weapon is sure, assured to bring all things under God’s control. For in in Christ Jesus all things and flesh – animate and inanimate are subdued and SUBJECTION to the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army. (John 17:2; John 13:3; Philippians 3:20-21; Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 10:17-20).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And THE CAPTAIN of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so” Joshua 5:13-15.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on THE BREASTPLATE of righteousness; 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of THE GOSPEL of peace; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and THE SWORD of the Spirit, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“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).

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, AND A GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have finished my course, I have KEPT THE FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

“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.

“ASSOCIATE yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be BROKEN in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 Take COUNSEL TOGETHER, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: FOR GOD IS WITH US. 11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12 SAY YE NOT, A CONFEDERACY, to all them to whom this people shall say, A CONFEDERACY; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13 SANCTIFY the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread . . . 16 BIND UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES. 17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 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 8:9-22

“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH US THE VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

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

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN you, than he that is in the world. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of ERROR” 1 John 4:4-6.

“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.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to THE WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER: THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead!

“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” 2 Timothy 2:1-5

The Church of God as UNPARALLELED ARMY is a Militant-like Soldier who is daily at WAR in every aspect of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. 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 ready to get engaged whenever and wherever in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to the individual’s lives, families, communities, nations, and more.

AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH THAT’S GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN NATURE IN CHRIST JESUS, BUILT UP TO WIN AND TRIUMPH DAILY AS SET AND ASSURED

The Church of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, though engaged in constant MILITANT-LIKE spiritual warfare, is also a TRIUMPHANT Church. Each warfare and battle defines, refines, refreshes, energizes, rejuvenates, refires, and renews the Church; hence the Church is GLORIOUS in all, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts’ efforts to fake, duplicate, pervert, and counterfeit these glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim and prey rather than a victor. You are a WINNER in Christ Jesus’ stead any day and anyway in everywhere 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 the battles within and without. Ephesians 6:10-20.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and at WAR without, with the ENEMY and COHORTS that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and at WAR with spiritual forces and PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; and at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Ephesians 6:10-20; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Philippians 3:18-19; 1 Peter 5:8-10; Acts 8:9-25]

And this WAR and WARFARE is about our FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ. Hence Apostle Paul says we should FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, indicating some fights are uncalled-for, not good fights, not fights worth engaging on and we should be aliens to them by every means. Suffice it to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS are not necessarily after your physical possession and well-being in their engagement of WAR and WARFARE against you. They are actually using the things you consider they ARE after as a distraction from the real deal. Their main target is your FAITH. To make you GIVE UP on your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus. Knowing that, as long as your steadfastness in God in Christ Jesus is steadily steady, you can ALWAYS recover all losses by the winning and victorious FAITH as Job deed [1 John 5:3-5]. For Job recovered the MORE by taking the stand that the REDEEMER lives in spite of all he went through with Satan and cohorts friends and wife against his stand in God – Job 19:25; Job 42:10-17.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your BRETHREN that are in THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11;

And because we ARE at war and warfare, it takes a spirited Militant-Like Soldier stand to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial and representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be court-martial and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. [2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6].

Herein are some lessons to keep in minds as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to avoid the setbacks, set ups and create a safety and security net that’s WORTH doing to win in life and grace.

To begin with, WHAT IS A CHURCH? A Church is the you (an individual), the local and the universal body of born again (of God) Believer’s on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus, filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, having (under) a Shepherd.

The reason why this CHURCH definition is important in the context of the scriptures is because there are many loose and loosely individuals and local believers out there who belong to no Shepherd or rather not under any Shepherd for reckoning and, as such are uncountable to any under God as the Scripture has enjoined – [Hebrews 13:16-17]. Such believers are vulnerable or positioned in a vulnerability state knowingly and or unknowingly – which is a state of ignorance, foolishness arrogance, and stupidity due to some zealousness without knowledge and understanding of context and perception.

For a while, my younger children have been watching a Netflix documentary program called OUR PLANET. In the course of watching the program for the few occasions of sitting down around with the children, I was curious about how the Cat family – especially the Lion and Leopard can easily target up their prey in order to feed and make a meal off them. Most of the time, I discovered they are always looking out to target a standalone prey from the herds. And once identified, in their chase they can corner out that vulnerable stand-alone, and their day meal is set and made readily ready.

And it gives me a picture of how the ENEMY and COHORTS go about looking for that vulnerable standalone Believer in Christ Jesus – who is not keen to have a covering Shepherd over their head. They roam about as spiritual harlots accountable to no one and none can account on their behalf – Hebrews 13:16-17. These Believer who belong to no fellowship or Local assembly or attend any gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people are exposed as lone soldiers for the enemy and cohorts to PREY upon at challenging and difficult times.

DON’T BE A LONE MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER BELIEVER AND MINISTERS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST’S GOSPEL MINISTRY

When you think because you can read the Bible and pray to Father God in Christ Jesus, speak in tongues of the Holy Spirit, makes you not see the need to have interaction and communication and fellowship with other Believers of the same like Father – you are knowingly setting yourself as a lone soldier. I have seen people who are more in bond and bound to their set denomination and doctrine and sectarians’ settings that when they come to a new dwelling place and can’t find the same kind of local assembly they came from, they are not going to worship and serve God wholeheartedly in any new places of gathering for worship.

And some immediately will either form their own gathering assembly as if that’s the only mark to worship and serve God worthily and acceptably and make heaven. Unfortunately, some Ministers are not in any way out of this hook, because they have so much indoctrinated people with denominational spirit than with the Gospel of the body ministry of Christ Jesus, as such want their members to use their opportunity to open up an extension of their denomination branch settings and immediately made such people Pastor’s overnight, even the individuals knows there’s no call of God upon their life for such spiritual placement and position – hence today there’s all manners of confusion and schisms and pervert and adulterations in the body ministry of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. And it’s of such like that Apostle Paul warns Timothy not to suddenly lay hands on any man for a spiritual high office to safeguard the body ministry – 1 Timothy 5:22.

In my watching over the natural national militant soldiers and interacting with some few to hear their respective storylines, one thing I have learned and can conclude from them is that they never fight alone without a team spirit and set backups so that when there’s an injury from the enemy’s and cohorts side, there’s an immediate response to take their own out of the battle side whether dead or alive to preserved the honour and dignity and integrity to SERVE as a soldier.

Unfortunately, in Church life over the years, especially where ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and schism exist, I have seen from grandstand where fellow UNPARALLELED ARMY are abandoned and left for the enemy and cohorts to have a full feed day upon in the name of punishment or sectarians’ reasons. Yet, the commandant of the UNPARALLELED ARMY, our Lord Jesus won’t abandon and let His own be devoured but will take them along as good, chief, and great shepherd of the sheep to nurse His own and strengthen them so that they can recover speedily and live to fight another day as David will do against the Lion and the Bear that came along his way with his father’s sheep he was shepherding – and he was able to keep the sheep safe, secure and protected as the scriptures recorded – 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

You ARE a MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER. You ARE THE UNPARALLELED ARMY. You ARE the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Be wise to take your place and PUT OFF the civilian uniform and PUT ON the armour of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. Colossians 3:9-15; Ephesians 6:10-18.

BLESSED REGARDS IN THIS READ IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS. AMEN.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

AVOID BEING MISTAKEN

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

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

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

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a graceful and blessed day.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: DEPICTS AS LOVING (LOVELY), GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“For no one can lay a FOUNDATION other than the one which is [ALREADY] laid, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11 Amplified.

“Husbands, LOVE your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH and GAVE Himself up for her, 26 so that He might SANCTIFY THE CHURCH, having cleansed her by the washing of water with THE WORD [of God], 27 so that [in turn] He might present THE CHURCH to Himself in GLORIOUS splendor, WITHOUT spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be HOLY [set apart for God] and blameless” Ephesians 5:25-27 Amplified.

The Church of God, depicted as the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus stead in comparison to any force and power known or yet to be known, in any human history (past, present and future), is superior and unparalleled as His commandant rules and reigns supreme in the heavenly, beneath the earth and also on the earth – at any time and any day and any where at the same time. For God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient and unlimited by geography and territories as He has apportioned it in the world. Acts 17:24-31; Ephesians 1:21-23 (15-21); Ephesians 3:20-21; Philippians 3:20-21.

The beauty to the graciousnesss and gracefulness and goodness of this unparalleled army, is that the captain of the host of the Lord’s army and accompanying Him for the unparalleled army is an indescribable and invincible angelic assisted being with such armoury that’s not of human craft for any warfare. Joshua 5:13-14; Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20. And this army is not limited by geography, people or tribe, culture, tongue, class or status, colour and such like but visible in every places of human dwellings on the planet earth.

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he LIFTED up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?” Joshua 5:13-14.

“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.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is built on GOD’S HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS. 1 Corinthians 1:30; Romans 10:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:17-21; Romans 14:17; Romans 1:16-17.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; FOR THOU SHALT NOT FEAR: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 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 54:13-17.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another” Galatians 5:6, 13.

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to LOVE one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his LOVE is PERFECTED in us . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: 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. 19 We LOVE him, because he first LOVED us. 20 If a man say, I LOVE God, and HATETH his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he LOVE God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who LOVETH God LOVE his brother also” 1 John 4:7-21.

“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 . . . 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and THE CHURCH . . .” Ephesians 5:25-33.

“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” 2 Timothy 2:3-4.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER OF HIS MIGHT. 11 Put on the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. 12 For we WRESTLE not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our WARFARE are not CARNAL (MAN MADE), but MIGHTY through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck” 1 Timothy 1:18-19.

“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.

“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea . . . 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea” Exodus 15:1, 21.

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“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 they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD of their testimony; and they LOVED not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

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

“. . . 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.  . . .” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
