GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR – THAT’S WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – IT’S TRIUMPHANT EVERYWHERE AND 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.

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:

“Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself [as a sacrifice to atone] for our sins [to save and sanctify us] so that He might RESCUE us from this PRESENT EVIL AGE, in accordance with the WILL and PURPOSE and PLAN of our God and Father— 5 to Him be [ascribed all] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5/Amplified.

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

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 and PESTILENCE that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominations/Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. 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, graciousness and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well-being.

WE ARE God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, the Church Of JESUS CHRIST, with the eternal back up mandate to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, an OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in everywhere and everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore,

CHURCH ARISE!

YOU ARE THE CHURCH!!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!!

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 .

“You CROWN THE YEAR with Your GOODNESS, and Your paths drip with ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they SHOUT for JOY, they also SING” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

FOR A COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL AND FULFILLING YEAR

By Leave a Comment

FOR A COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL AND FULFILLING YEAR: GEARED UP AND EXERCISE THE DARING FORCE OF FAITH – IT’S YOUR SYNERGY!

“And FROM THE DAYS of John the Baptist until NOW the KINGDOM of heaven SUFFERETH VIOLENCE (OPPOSITION), and THE VIOLENT (THE DARING) TAKE IT [SEIZED IT] BY FORCE (FAITH)” Mathew 11:12/Emphasis Mine.

In this year of the Lord, that our God had made [Psalms 118:24] as a crowned and prophetically WORD assured year [Psalms 65:11-13; 2 Peter 1:19-21], we have to geared up and take our moment to thrive in order to ensure and be assured of A COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL AND FULFILLING YEAR. And I want you to know full well that the path to being CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] in order to live TRIUMPHANTLY in a colourful, thriving, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling – in DOING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus, are not built on MERE WISHES or WISHY-WASHY PROPHECIES or being a LAZY-BUTT. Otherwise, as the saying goes, if “WISHES where HORSES, BEGGAR’S will ride”; and I add, many will own lots of it too. Hence, it’s written, that FAITH without corresponding ACTION based only on a mere BELIEVE is dead been alone.

“. . . 14 But wilt thou know, O VAIN man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? . . . 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:14-26.

“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.

Let it be known as per our redemption, which is Scripturally based in context, that God wants you to TRIUMPH always and in every place in doing LIFE and godly LIVING in Christ Jesus [BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. However, for TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING to be ensured and assured resulting a thriving, colourful and blossoming living, know for certainty it doesn’t come for the COWARDS, the MERE DREAMERS, the FEARFUL, the PRESUMPTUOUS, the TIMID, IGNORANT, SLOTHFUL (SLUGGARD) and those, who are AIMLESSLY craven in such like places, and expecting GREATNESS for a no ACTION [GEARED UP AND EXERCISE] of the faith. For FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you Scripturally believe of God’s word in context, without a doubtful heart. And by Faith will triumph victoriously over the world set opposition system contrary to the superiority of God’s WORD defacto over humanity.

“And we DESIRE that every one of you do SHEW the same DILIGENCE to the full ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12.

“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.

“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.

I want you remind you and say it again, for you to know assuredly, that in the kingdom, having the GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL living, is not for those who don’t want to ARISE and GEARED UP – that’s, to say – to put their FAITH to work in Christ Jesus stead; and more so, and not for those who are unwilling to take on their life TEST CHALLENGES by the FORCE OF FAITH to make and ensure their PURPOSEFUL living comes out of their faith at work, in order to turn their MESS into a MESSAGE and their TEST into TESTIMONY, by the enabling and assuring grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Beloved friend, know for sure that colourful, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life is for those who are DETERMINED to DARE and GEARED UP to EXERCISE their FAITH in the Lord and Savour Jesus Christ, no matter what it takes to SCRIPTURALLY ensure it in context. I mean those, who have and are determined and committed to LEAP over their WALLS of opposition BY THE FORCE OF FAITH. This essence may start small, but as there’s consistent endeavours are geared to ensure that the FAITH IS AT WORK for the TRIUMPH and GREATNESS. May I awaken you to know that each of us in Christ Jesus is given THE MEASURE of FAITH by THE MEASURE of GRACE that’s needed to meet our challenging plan, purpose and pursuit in order for us to do life triumphantly in all the phase of living.

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

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

Know that FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE OR CREED to be merely PREACHED but a divine mystery, that’s geared as the SYNERGY and DEFAULT in our lifestyle that we must LIVE OUT on a daily basis in order to ensure on our assured position in grace as being JUSTIFIED to reign and rule in dominion holds on unquestionably.

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

“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.

Only those who take a stand in the grace by the FORCE OF THEIR FAITH in their rights and privileges in redemption in Christ Jesus, will turn all sphere into their opportunities and possibilities – and will in turn with time ensure one overcomes every opposition to the colourful and meaningful life in the Lord and Saviour – Jesus Christ. Amen. And, I therefore asked you today, if you will take a STAND today to act and put your faith to work in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, to make your life meaningful and fulfilling in YEAR? Then you need to exercise the DARING FORCE OF FAITH against the work of the ENEMY and COHORTS, so that you can ensure to BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] and be TRIUMPHANTLY assured, for your day to day, and daily doing of Life and living godly in Christ Jesus in the year.

I pray you will DARE and GEARED UP TRIUMPHANTLY to your CHALLENGES and FEARS by the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in the VICTORIOUS force of FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!

“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 1:4-6.

We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:

“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 14:16-17.

“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.

There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and its EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every place in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.

Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . . 74 that he would grant unto us,

that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

MY MEDITATION SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY!

You can join me and get an inspiring, revealing, and empowering enabling in the grace. For KNOWLEDGE delivers, emancipates, and gives direction. [Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15].

Be SCRIPTURALLY INFORMED in order to be FREE in God’s given freedom that’s in Christ Jesus [Galatians 5:1/Amplified], from the misinformation and disinformation bondages that flies around 24/7 with the intent to distort, adulterate, counterfeit, dilute and pollute the TRUTH. And unfortunately, the TRUTH will ALWAYS resurrects to give the default freedom, no matter the force of human grand fights against it today or tomorrow [John 8:30-32; John 14:6].

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION:

Psalms 119:96-105, 130/Amplified.

“I have seen that all [human] perfection has its limits [no matter how grand and perfect and noble]; Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].

97 Oh, how I LOVE Your law! It is my MEDITATION all the day.

98 Your commandments make me WISER than my enemies, For Your WORDS are always with me.

99 I have better UNDERSTANDING and deeper insight than all my teachers [because of Your word], For Your testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the aged [who have not observed Your precepts], Because I have observed and kept Your precepts.

101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I may keep Your word.

102 I have not turned aside from Your ordinances, For You Yourself have taught me.

103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 From Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way.

105 Your word is a LAMP to my feet And a LIGHT to my path.

130 The unfolding of Your [glorious] words give light; Their unfolding gives understanding to the simple (childlike).”

DON’T GIVE UP

DON’T GIVE UP: YOU ARE OF GOD!

“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” 1 John 4:4.

There’s a GREATER life within you to live and move THAT supposedly mountain before you.

And the knowing and understanding that you ARE of God makes it possible. For mountains are long standing obstacles in our paths and trajectories of an onward and upward intended progress. And by FAITH in God, we can make our mountain move – be a levelled plain supposedly that we might live and make progress.

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have FAITH in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye DESIRE, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

More importantly, the knowing and understanding that the greater one lives inside you, makes you a winner any day, any where and every way. Hence, you must intentionally and unreservedly live in the consciousness of who you ARE of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

Therefore, to live as an overcomer, a more than conquerors, a victorious and triumphant Believer that’s born of God in Christ Jesus, you must knowingly and unknowingly live in the consciousness of who you are of God in Christ Jesus stead, and in the understanding that the greater God lives within you. There’s no room for “IF” or “BUT” to this spiritual exercises, in expressing to ensure your assured redemption rights and privileges by God in Christ Jesus.

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

“. . . 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27.

Enjoying the enabling grace in the faith of BEING BORN of God is only as authentic and effective and effectual, to as much as you choose and be determined to take a stand to ensure and be assured, that you give no room for fallacy and any contrary to stain and pollute your TESTIMONY of God in Christ Jesus stead.

The kingdom DEMAND for each one of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. It’s not an ADVICE to pick cherry and not of a choice to agree or disagree upon. It’s an ORDER, a COMMAND, a MANDATE and an ASSIGNMENT to be willingly obeyed if you and I must eat the good of the land as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, Amen [Isaiah 1:19]. And because God in His word of instruction and command is not given to be a taskmaster, or burdensome, or irksome or grievous, He has already made available His enabling endowments to ensure and assure that obedience to His WORD gives peace and tranquility irrespective and without prejudice.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]” 1 John 5:3.

The kingdom DEMAND as to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in this context, is to ensure that you are not living less or out of what you ARE of God in Christ Jesus, in REDEMPTION, because you ARE His and the epistle that’s being seen and read of all men as written:

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, KNOWN and READ of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.

And as being God’s Epistle or open letter that’s being read and known of men in Christ Jesus, it’s imperative that you live to ensure and assure that the fulness of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS is at work upon your life in all wisdom in graciousnesss and gracefulness. And you are not undermined by any means by the bigots of religion and religiosity, sectarianism and denominationalism, traditional dogmas, creed, make belief and such like that makes the WORD of God of no effect in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, as an EPISTLE of  God to humanity, you ARE ensuring and assuring that you are STANDING uncompromisingly and unreservedly for who you ARE without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation by FAITH and not limited in this endowed GRACE to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as one that’s:

** A NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16]

** God’s AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVES in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:20].

** A MORE than conquerors in Christ Jesus stead [Romans 8:37].

** An OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead [1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11].

** VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 15:57].

** TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 2:14].

** REDEEMED in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12]

** A CHOSEN GENERATION, a HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE etc in Christ Jesus stead [1 Peter 2:9-10].

** . . . and MANY SUCH LIKE . . . in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s your moment and time now, to take a gracious STAND, by standing in grace by faith of ensuring and assuring of who you ARE, AGAINST any onslaughts and anything that contradicts and goes contrary to your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus; and to take a stand against anything or forces as may be PERPETUATED by the enemy and cohorts of your FAITH; and against satanic cohorts interfering on you to intentionally and pragmatically take a stand in the grace to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, as a demand of the kingdom.

“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 we live in the perilous times and days wherein the enemy and cohorts are out there as PERVERTERS of the Gospel – and we must vehemently resist their mode of operandi in everywhere by the WORD and in the leadership power of the Holy Spirit, to keep the FAITH wherein we stand by GRACE, ensure and assured for our good and our hearers. It’s time not to be complaining and arguing and lazing around sluggishly and slothfully with the enemy and cohorts, but to stand tall and be vigilant, to resist, and to earnestly contend in the faith by the grace in Christ Jesus, against all the onslaughts that’s outplaying to stop us from the kingdom mandate and demand to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; 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 [WHOLE, COMPLETE], STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was NEEDFUL for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

When you ARE able to take your stand FOR your redemption REALITIES and take stand also AGAINST any form of the enemy and cohorts strategy and crafty acts of deception in grace by God in Christ Jesus, you ARE indeed living by the Kingdom demand to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

Therefore, raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH by the GRACE wherein you STAND, by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, while enjoying the fulness and purpose to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“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 this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 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 5:3-5.

“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.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I AM SET FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

“Brethren, be FOLLOWERS together of me, and MARK them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our CONVERSATION is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to SUBDUE all things unto himself” Philippians 3:17-21.

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

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

“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

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:

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.

“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.

“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).

“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.
