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

I just want to remind you now and for your tomorrow, hoping that you might have known or and probably be informing you for first time to know that every born-again believing child of God in Christ Jesus, is a battlefield; and in a battlefield knowingly and unknowingly. And there’s the need to daily sharpen your instrument [weaponry] and keep it readily ready to engage in any battles in the now or tomorrow. Because the enemy and cohorts we are engaged with is roaring and roaming around looking for whom to devour. 1 Peter 5:8-11. Therefore, there’s the need to get yourself and spiritual weaponry ready 24/7 as you do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 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’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 forecast are made yearly in budgetary investment, that showcased for military might by some nations. Their intent is to ensure that both their OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE operations and mechanism along with the training of their combatant military forces are ready and 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 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 terrorisms of various sphere. This is to tell you that the ENEMY and COHORTS are are at war naturally as you can hear or look or see or read about of various places and some are near you or you are a part of the national wars and warfare; while some are undergoing some threatening and others are at an international war investment in various continents of the world. In each case WEAPONRY is involved with personal answering to their commandants and head of state as commissioned.

DESPITE all the huge investments in these natural nations, lives are lost, weaponry weapons are destroyed while some goes obsolete in order to give room to new innovations in technology. These natural wars and warfare are at vast difference from the  wars and warfare which the unparalleled armies 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 battled in the flesh (physical) though it has physical effect, hence our armour is 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 – at every 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, authenticate 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 exercised or utilised, and misused, the enemies 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 in 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 weaponries or armouring to be exercised to put to use in order – to authenticate and enact and realise 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
  2. AS A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING – Matthew 7:15.
    ANTIDOTE:     Matthew 7:16, 20.
  3. 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 every way 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 endure 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’s 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 courtmartialed 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 SUBJECTED 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.

“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.

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL against it” Matthew 16:18.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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

By Leave a Comment

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 an 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 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 engage 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 cohorts effort to fake, duplicate, pervert and counterfeit this 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  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 in and we should be aliens to them by every means. Suffice 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 the earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial 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].

Herein are some lessons to keep in mind 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 locals Believers out there who belongs to no Shepherd or rather not under any Shepherd for reckoning, 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 vulnerable state knowingly and or unknowingly – which is a state of ignorance, foolishness and arrogance and stupidity due to some zealousness without knowledge and understanding in context and perception.

For a while, my younger children have been watching a Netflix documentary program called OUR PLANET. In the course of them 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 stand alone prey from the herd. And once identified, in their chase they can corner out that vulnerable stand alone, and their day meal is is set and made readily ready.

And it gives me a picture on how the ENEMY and COHORTS go about looking for that vulnerable stand alone Believer in Christ Jesus – who are 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 Believers that belong to no fellowship or Local assembly or attend any gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people are exposed as lone soldier for the enemy and cohorts to PREY upon at challenging and difficult times.

DON’T BE A LONE MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER BELIEVER AND MINISTER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST 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 to see the need to have interaction and communication and fellowship with other Believers of same like father – you are knowingly setting yourself as 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 places 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. And 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 wants their members to use the opportunity to open up an extension of their denomination branch setting and immediately make such people Pastors 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 perversion and adulteration 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 xnatural national militant soldiers and interacting with few to hear their respective storyline, one thing I have learnt and can conclude from them is that they never fight alone without a team spirit and set back ups so that when there’s an injury from the enemies and cohorts side, there’s an immediate response to take their own out of the battle side whether dead or alive to preserve the honour and dignity and integrity to SERVE as soldier.

Unfortunately, in Church life over the years, especially where ignorance, stupidity and 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 sectarian 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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

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).

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: DEPICTED 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 graciousness 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 place 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, is glamorous and authentic and genuine and real to making a difference in humanity as characterised for the following reasons but not limited:

  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is LOVING AND LOVELY! – Galatians 5:6, 13; 1 John 4:7-21.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is GLORIOUS AND SPOTLESS! – Ephesians 5:25-33.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is MILITANT SOLDIER-LIKE IN WARFARE! – 2 Timothy 2:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Timothy 1:18-19; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is TRIUMPHANT AND TRIUMPHING! – 2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15: 1, 21.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is VICTORIOUS! – 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:4.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is OVERCOMING AND OVERCOMER! – 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 2:14; 1 John 4:4.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is MORE THAN A CONQUEROR AND CONQUEST! – Romans 8:31-37.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is THE HEAVENLY AMBASSADOR, EMBASSY AND REPRESENTATIVE! – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Ephesians 6:20; Proverbs 13:17.
  • The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is EMBOLDENED AND FEARLESS. 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 John 4:17-18; Hebrews 2:14-15; Hebrews 4:14-16.
  • 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.
  • . . . and such like.

There’s so much to write about the LOVING AND LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT Church of God, that embodies the UNPARALLELED ARMY of which you ARE in Christ Jesus stead. I do believe that as you take time to study the Holy writ on your own, you will discover the MORE who you are and how to actualise it to make the needed difference in your life and in the world.

I pray that you will live meaningfully and fulfilling as a loving and lovely, glorious, militant-like soldier and triumphant Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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.

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – AND TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYWAY!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satanic evil and wicked cohorts, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.

“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.

All simply because this Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way.

“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.

Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the DEMONS are SUBJECT to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan FALL from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN you AUTHORITY [that you now possess] to TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] OVER ALL the POWER of the ENEMY (Satan); and NOTHING will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your NAMES are RECORDED in heaven” Luke 10:17-20 Amplified.

For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being as Apostle Paul stated in the Holy writ of Ephesians 1:17-23.

WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR, the Church of JESUS CHRIST with the mandate to be triumphant in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY.

CHURCH ARISE – YOU ARE THE CHURCH!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!

AND AS THE CHURCH – YOU ARE TRIUMPHANT!!!

CONGRATULATIONS – BE BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“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.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, THAT MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (Give Up, Lose Heart, Discourage)” Luke 18:1. (Emphasis Mine).

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be BOUND (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be LOOSED (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven” Matthew 16:18-19 (Emphasis Mine).

“Jesus came up and said to them, “ALL AUTHORITY (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age” Matthew 28:18-20 Amplified.

“[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), 19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength 20 which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above ALL RULE and AUTHORITY and POWER and DOMINION [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 22 And He put ALL THINGS [in every realm] in SUBJECTION under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head OVER ALL THINGS in the church, 23 which is His body, the FULLNESS of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers]” Ephesians 1:17-23 Amplified.

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

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

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

The CHIEF Shepherd – 1 Peter 5:4.

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

The GREAT Shepherd – Hebrews 13:20-21.

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

The GOOD Shepherd – John 10:11, 14.

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

My PERSONAL Shepherd – Psalms 23

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 8.

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

“When He had DISARMED the RULERS and AUTHORITIES [those SUPERNATURAL FORCES of EVIL operating AGAINST us], He made a PUBLIC EXAMPLE [SPECTACLE] of them [EXHIBITING them as CAPTIVES in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to individual life’s, family homes, communities, nations and more. And you are that Church, and you are STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT and TRIUMPHANT. However, we need only to engage with the good spiritual warfare and the good fight of faith – which thus indicates that you can be busy and wrongly fighting a bad fight and a bad warfare – hence you must intentionally and pragmatically choose your battles to avoid being a victim and prey and captive.

“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 . . .” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“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.

However, the glorious Church though engage in constant militant spiritual warfare, should know also, is a triumphant Church. A church that’s enacting and authenticating from the position of TRIUMPH and not striving to win the battle because the battle had been won and the Church is an OVERCOMER, VICTORIOUS and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus. And each warfare and battle refine, refreshes, energizes and renews the Church; hence the Church is glorious, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, dilute and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim rather than a victor. You are a VICTOR, WINNER, OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS anyday and anyway and anywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with this battles within and without.

“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.

For the GREATER one lives in you 24/7 to keep you STRONG and STRENGHTEN in His BLESSEDNESS as His Ambassador. And much more, the KNOWING that your STRENGHT is in the Lord and not in yourself, makes the battle WON before and ahead of the start.

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS, to be STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.

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).

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.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political groups/parties, Political and Military ruler’s and dictators, Kings and other Satanic evil and wicked Cohorts, have risen and fallen; and each have lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the GREATEST and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on TRIUMPHANTLY in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS.

“When He had DISARMED the RULERS and AUTHORITIES [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through THE CROSS” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

“But THANKS be to God, who always LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and makes EVIDENT everywhere the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14/Amplified.

The Churches GLORIOUS and TRIUMPHANT march is simply because the Kingdom Cause [plan, purpose and pursuit] is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, the DOMINION over the forces of darkness known and yet to be known, assures and endures, and will assures and endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

“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.

Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominations/churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to TRIUMPH over the ENEMY and COHORTS; and we are to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to COLOUR OUR WORLDS with the good and goodness of our God, until Christ Jesus returns, for the fulness of our God and well-being in us, in His stead.

FOR WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR – the Church of JESUS CHRIST – with the mandate to be TRIUMPHANT in DOMINION, in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY. AMEN.

THEREFORE,

CHURCH ARISE!

AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH!!

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest unparalleled force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS. And God has promised to protect, rescue and deliver you – the Church, from the evil in this present world and age. Just let Him be God, and He will honour His WORD as written:

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE

By Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE: THE LOVE THAT GIVES AND SERVES!

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Our God is LOVE. He’s LOVE in definition, which indicates, you can’t talk of LOVE outside the person who is LOVE personified and had lavishly showed His love to us by the Holy Spirit that He had given to us by virtue of our redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 4:8,16; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17; John 3:16].

When I heard decades ago, the Gospel of Christ that brought about my salvation in God, in Christ Jesus, in redemption, the first thing that crosses my mind then and now, by the Gospel I heard was this – that God LOVES me. That sticks and have never gone off me for any reason or matters irrespective of the ups and downs in the onward and upward trajectory of the Christian Walk of faith in Christ Jesus.

“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.

And more so, to know that God in His terms to ensure and authenticate the love, He GAVE up Christ Jesus for my salvation in redemption, that I might be able to be JUSTIFIED and QUALIFIED, to receive the needed FREEDOM – LIBERTY, from the grips and bandages of SIN and it’s effects which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH; the freedom – liberty, from which I was denied because of the subjugates rule of the devil and cohorts, that makes me then, to be without God in this world. [Ephesians 2:1-22].

Reflecting now and then that the simple Gospel I heard to get saved by God in Christ Jesus, thus indicates that God LOVES me and GAVE up Jesus Christ for my salvation in redemption; and this knowing and understanding, have left a lasting effect on my life for over 50yrs plus by God’s enabling grace. Then and now and always, I know that genuinely pure love of God means a GIVING love, and not a love that goes demanding for the love in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. And it thus means that one can’t live the genuinely pure love life in grace and godliness, beyond the knowledge and understanding you know and have received of God in Christ Jesus on His personified nature of LOVE as He is LOVE.

“And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM, and those who EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER THEM are called ‘BENEFACTORS.’ 26 But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER, and he who GOVERNS as he who SERVES. 27 For who is GREATER, he who sits at the TABLE, or he who SERVES? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am AMONG YOU as the One who SERVES” Luke 22:25-27/NKJV [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

And when I began to embarks on the journey to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus (2 Peter 3:18), and for me to personally personified the knowing of Him as my Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, and to make Him known by same mutual knowledge and understanding, I then discovered that His entire coming to take the humanity nature [Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:14], to work out my salvation in my redemption and yours and for all mankind, was simply through this – to SERVE – through the passionate acts of LOVE which He lives and demonstrated for us all to follow after Him. [John 13:1-17, 34-35; Luke 22:25-27 (Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45); John 15:9-16]. And to do this act of our redemption, the scripture says, He LOVED us. Meaning, He didn’t serve outside love to REDEEMED us, He LOVED us as written:

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and THE FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6.

And for our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ to ensure and authenticate that the GOSPEL being PREACHED remains same as He live in it and through it, He charged that the Believer’s in Him, should continue first and foremostly, to walk in His love with same Gospel love that loves through GIVING and SERVING others in His name – for by such many will turn toward the Father God in His name. [Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35; John 15:8-16; John 8:30-32].

Apostle Paul, with the gracious insights and foresights into the  revelation of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, do charged the Ephesians Church in the Holy writ of [Acts 20:35], of the need to know that – it’s more of BLESSEDNESS to GIVE (be a GIVER) than to RECEIVE (be a RECEIVER); and Apostle Paul’s also wrote to the Galatians Church in the Holy writ in the context of – [Galatians 5:1, 6, 13], of the necessity to see that they don’t take their freedom – liberty in God in Christ Jesus for granted, but to ensure it and be assured that their faith in God in Christ Jesus is lubricated through LOVE and not by legalities of the religious dogmas and tradition and denominational indoctrination as per circumcision or no circumcision – and more importantly, to SERVE one another BY LOVE as in the Gospel that they have received of him in Christ Jesus stead.

In redemption, we’ve obtained a glorious triumph on the cross by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For our Redemption is a done did as expressed in the Holy writs of [2 Corinthians 2:14 and Colossians 2:8-15]; this thus indicates an act of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE as expressed in GIVING His life for our justification, and in SERVING to ensure and assure that we can live TRIUMPHANTLY as we do live in humanity and live godly for the cause of advancing God’s kingdom and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

I therefore challenge you and I today to be genuine follower of God in Christ Jesus, and WALK IN LOVE as He did for our example, through the act of GIVING and SERVING, and not of demanding and receiving or as an entitlement, if we must meaningfully fulfil purpose as enjoined in the Holy writ. [Ephesians 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12].

I do pray that you might be awaken in this writ for a gracious and graceful you in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, I sincerely welcome you to Month February, the month of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE that GIVES and SERVES without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48; Proverbs 16:7/Hebrews 11:6].

GOD CROWN’S THE YEAR WITH HIS GOODNESS AND ABUNDANCE

By Leave a Comment

GOD CROWN’S THE YEAR WITH HIS GOODNESS AND ABUNDANCE: FOR YOUR WELL-BEING AS BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS]!

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

I herein present to you the God of the realms of timeless timeline who created the timed earth of the dawn year. He’s the uncreated creator, who made all things beautiful in His time and had put ETERNITY into the human heart [spirit] to make the human differ from every created thing. He created the earth for mankind and not mankind for the earth, hence mankind can rule and reign over all things created to oversee under God in Christ Jesus.

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its TIME. He has also planted ETERNITY [a SENSE of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can SATISFY, except God]—yet man CANNOT find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.

Our uncreated creator God, did commissioned man from the beginning to oversee the affairs of the earth as his ambassador and representative [Genesis 1:26-28; 2 Corinthians 5:20]; however, God still remains the Lord God of the earth and all that dwells in the world though man is there represents Him [Psalms 8:4-6; Psalms 24:1].

“What is MAN, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou VISITEST him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the works of thy hands; thou hast put ALL THINGS under his FEET: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;  8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and WHATSOEVER passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

Reading from the various Scriptures above, although not limited, I can emphatically inform you that God wants the best for you today and tomorrow and through the year, so long it has to be under the context and concept of His WORD otherwise it’s adulteration, falsehoods and perversions.

I can also say that the God that I do know in Christ Jesus stead, and have come to SERVE unreservedly and acceptably, and to WORSHIP worthily, faithfully, graciously and gracefully – loves you as in all mankind. He cares so much about your worthwhile for which Christ Jesus paid for in our redemption to make it possible. And by the indwelling Spirit within my spirit, through God’s WORD – I know our God is the TRUTH, the LIFE and the WAY.

More so, God is interested in all matters that concerns our doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus as His representative on the earth. Hence, He crowns our time [second, minute, day, week, month and year] with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE to ensure that we thrive and be assured that He’s faithful, true and sure to His promises and commission. [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Psalms 65:11-13; Psalms 118:24; John 4:20-24; John 14:15-17; Romans 8:9, 14; 1 John 4:4-6].

As for BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] in every place in Christ Jesus, our uncreated creator God, who rules and reigns over all of the heavens and the earth, and have made the heavens His dwellings and the earth His footstool; He has made it possible for all mankind as you and me, to dwell on the earth on His behalf as representative to live through year to year triumphantly in the glorious redemption [Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 8:4-8; Colossians 2:15, 2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15:1-21]. It thus means, that the earth is made for man and not man for the earth as the infallible Holy writ enjoined in the Scriptures [Psalms 24:1; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:16-18].

God that crowns the scriptural prophetic assured year [2 Peter 1:19-21; Psalms 118:24] with His goodness and abundance, in that He desires us to prosper, be in health as our souls prospers [3 John 1:2] – for He’s the focus of this my Apostolic themed vision CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS]. For our God, He is not mysterious though a mystery to many who only see Him just for an earthly possession and miracles only, and don’t see Him in essence as the GOD of our redemption – who is to be SERVE acceptably and unreservedly, and to be WORSHIP wholly, worthily and intentionally; for some, He’s not more than anything just beyond the ACTS and MIRACLE enclaves for their needs and substances and vulnerability [Psalms 103:7]. These categories are people whose objectives differ not from the children of Israel who crave after God or sees Him, solely for the ACTS [miracles and daily Bread and manna] that He can provide, while unlike their leader Moses, he crave after God to KNOW Him and His WAY – the PATH to doing life and living godly as the scriptures indicates here though not limited. [Psalms 103:7; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Psalms 36:9]. I behold you to know that there’s the need to know God for who He’s to you rather than what you can just gain and benefit of Him.

“He made KNOWN His WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES, SIGNS] unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7.

Herein are just three notable descriptions and possession of the many of His multi-sided and multifaceted characteristics and NATURE and PERSON of the GOD I want you to know in order to access His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in this YEAR that He has made for us to thrive and be His representative [ambassador]:

  1. OMNISCIENCE – This in essence, thus indicates that our GOD – He is an all-knowing God. Meaning, God is all-knowing in the sense that he is aware of the past, present, and future. Nothing takes him by surprise. His knowledge is total. He knows all that there is to know and all that can be known. That He doesn’t act when you intend Him to act or to behave doesn’t mean He’s unaware of many things happening on the earth in human worlds of doing life and living godly. The universality of God’s knowledge is unequivocal and undisputable in all respects. [Psalms 147:5; John 21:17; Hebrews 4:12-13; 1John 3:20]. God knows detailed happenings on earth, not only in the present, but even in the future – [1 Samuel 10:2; 1 Kings 13:1-4; 2 Kings 8:12; Psalms 139:4; Acts 2:23; Acts 4:27-28].
  2. OMNIPOTENCE – This in essence, thus indicates that our GOD – He is an ALL-POWERFUL God. This means God can do what he wants. It means he is not subject to physical limitations like man is. He’s God, as having supreme and ultimate power in the heavens and earth – [Hebrews 11:3]. And being OMNIPOTENT, God has power over wind, water, gravity, physics and such like. God’s power is infinite, or limitless beyond every human imagination and comprehension. [Psalms 115:3; Isaiah 55:11; Jeremiah 22:7; Genesis 18:14]. His authority rules and reigns supreme, and His sovereignty oversees all creation and beyond in the heaven and the earth.
  3. OMNIPRESENCE – This in essence, thus indicates that our GOD – He is an All-PRESENT God. meaning, He is Everywhere at the same time – This describes Him as JEHOVAH SHAMMAH – [Ezekiel 48:35]. This is His ability to be present everywhere at the same time, an unbounded or universal presence. Omnipresence means minimally that there is no place to which God’s knowledge and power do not extend. Hence it could be said of Him Emmanuel – The God with us – [Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Matthew 28:20]. This term means that God is capable of being everywhere at the same time. It means his divine presence encompasses the whole of the universe. There is no location where he does not inhabit. This should not be confused with pantheism, which suggests that God is synonymous with the universe itself; instead, omnipresence indicates that God is distinct from the universe but inhabits the entirety of it. He is everywhere at once. [Psalms 139:1-18. Acts 17:24-31].

Therefore, in pursuance of the plan, purpose and pursuit for the year apostolic mandate given to me, which I am glad to share with you again as it’s themed – “BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS]” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS; it is a my call to the urgency to help us not to limit God by any measure as the children of Israel did limited God in their redemption context and concept and suffered the consequences without measure for their UNBELIEF in limiting the Holy one of Israel. [Psalms 781-72; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-11]; I want you to know full well of the TRUTH, that God intent for you is to CROWN the YEAR with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. For it is – the DAY that turns into WEEK and the WEEK that into turns into the MONTH and the month that turns into the YEAR – of which God has MADE for you to rejoice and be glad in it; because a thousand years in men’s eyes is a day before God, just as a day before men is as a thousand years to Him – for He dwells in immortality counting in eternity timeless timeline, while men dwells in mortality counting on timed timeline.

“But, BELOVED, be not IGNORANT of this one thing, that ONE DAY is with the Lord as a THOUSAND years, and a THOUSAND years as ONE DAY” 2 Peter 3:8.

“For a THOUSAND years in thy sight are but as YESTERDAY when it is past, and as a watch in the night” Psalms 90:4.

And by FAITH in His eternal WORD, we can synchronised God’s immortality timeline counting with mortality timeline through FAITH in the now [Hebrews 11:1-3]. Hence, UNBELIEF must NEVER have a place with anyone who is in Christ Jesus stead, otherwise we attract what God has not design or fathom for us in Him. For by Faith we have our being, we live, and we go about our day to day by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Acts 17:28; Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 3:12; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:16-17); Romans 10:8-13, 17; 1 John 5:3-5].

And it’s imperative that you know and understand, that God MADE the YEAR for a CROWNING – [ROYALTY, HONOUR, NOBILITY AND DIGNITY] – in His grace for you; and it’s up to you to believe God for who He’s, while your part then is to walk with your head up, shoulders high and on the high heels of faith in Christ Jesus stead – as by His grace and BLESSEDNESS in His REDEMPTION plan and purpose for you. He made everything including you and all Do and all created things – GOOD and BEAUTIFUL [Ecclesiastes 3:11; Revelation 4:11; Psalms 8:4-8; Isaiah 45:11-12]. And He’s ever ready and faithful to keep His good CREATION in that measure in His promise – Hebrews 10:23, 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

God is set in His ASSURING and ENSURING, that everything about YEAR 2024 concerning you, in every of that – mountain and hills are MADE low, Valleys are MADE filled and exalted, Crooked roads of life are MADE straight and while the Rough, rugged and tough places are MADE smooth and gracious – as written in Isaiah 40:3-5.

Therefore, I say that in BEING TRIUMPHANT IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS, that you will not limit yourself in God in Christ Jesus by the same UNBELIEF that the children of Israel did and suffered. I PRAY that you characterised yourself by the – WORK BY FAITH, PATIENCE OF HOPE AND LABOUR OF LOVE – as you do life and live godly by God in Christ Jesus [1 Thessalonians 1:3]. And take in the necessary and needed enabling of God, to go forth and BECOME what you want to be by the WORD in His grace, wisdom and speed in order to PARTAKE in the INHERITANCE for all SANCTIFIED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:3-4; Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12].

HAVE AN AMAZING YEAR THAT’S CROWNED WITH GOD’S BLESSEDNESS .

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
