DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST! 

Write the vision, MAKE it plain – simplified, READ to understand, then RUN with grace, wisdom and speed. Hallelujah! What a principle to apply to the heavenly mandate in all that pertains to doing life and living godly. Amen. 

I cannot help but take 30years to READ the VISION as Jesus did, then RUN with the READ and UNDERSTOOD VISION as in His three and half years’ Ministry of fulfilling the Father God’s commissioned mandate; rather than RUNNING aimlessly without purpose for thirty-three and a half years as some may do and have been doing. 

What About You, as it relates to any of these about you that are WORTH pondering: 

  • Marital adventures 
  • Business Adventures 
  • Family Adventures 
  • Career Adventures 
  • Ministerial Calling Adventures 
  • Political Governance Adventures 
  • Academics Adventures 
  • . . and many such likes. 

They are WORTH pondering in the light of these Scriptures for your meditations: 

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

“. . . The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will MAKE my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to WALK upon mine HIGH PLACES” Habakkuk 3:17-19. 

“. . . EVERY PLACE that the SOLE of your foot shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you, as I said unto Moses” Joshua 1:1-3. 

“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. 

“I will stand upon my WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the vision, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN THAT READETH it. 3. For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the end it shall SPEAK, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

SUMMARY 

This message is a prophetic charge to DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST! 

It calls you to WAKE UP and follow God’s divine order for fulfilment: WRITE the vision, MAKE it plain, READ to understand, then RUN with grace, wisdom and speed. Just as Jesus took 30 years to READ and KNOW the Father’s mandate before He ran for three and half years to FULFIL it, you too must refuse to RUN aimlessly. God has set you for dominion and victory, and every area of your life is WORTH pondering in the light of His WORD so you can walk in HIGH PLACES and triumph always in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Key Points: 

  1. The Divine Process for Triumph: WRITE → MAKE PLAIN → READ → RUN 
    God’s heavenly mandate is clear. Document the vision, simplify it, study it until you understand, then move with grace, wisdom, and speed. This prevents aimless striving and burnout. – Habakkuk 2:1-4  “WRITE the vision, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN THAT READETH it… BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” 
  2. Christ Is Our Pattern 
    Jesus spent 30 years READYING to KNOW the VISION, then three and half years RUNNING to fulfil the Father God’s commissioned mandate. We must not spend three and half years RUNNING without PURPOSE like many do. 
  3. God Empowers You for HIGH PLACES and EVERY PLACE 
    God Himself is your strength. He sets your feet like hinds’ feet and gives you every place you tread upon for triumph. – Psalm 18:32-33; 2 Samuel 22:32-34 “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and SETTETH me upon my HIGH PLACES” 
    – Habakkuk 3:17-19 “The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will MAKE my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to WALK upon mine HIGH PLACES” 
    – Joshua 1:1-3 “EVERY PLACE that the SOLE of your foot shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you” 
    – 2 Corinthians 2:14 “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” 
  4. Apply This to ALL Life Adventures WORTH PONDERING 
    This principle applies to: Marital Adventures, Business Adventures, Family Adventures, Career Adventures, Ministerial Calling Adventures, Political Governance Adventures, Academics Adventures,. and many such like. Do not neglect any area. God wants you triumphant in all. 

Call to Action: 

  1. DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST. Refuse a slumbering state. Arise now. 
  2. WRITE and MAKE PLAIN your vision. Get clarity on paper for each area of life listed above. 
  3. COMMIT TO READ TO UNDERSTAND. Wait for the appointed time. Let the vision SPEAK to you. – Habakkuk 2:3 “For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME… though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, IT WILL NOT TARRY.” 
  4. THEN RUN WITH GRACE, WISDOM AND SPEED. Once you have understanding, move boldly. Put the horse before the cart. 
  5. BELIEVE GOD FOR VICTORY. He girds you with strength and causes you to triumph always in Christ.

IT IS TIME TO DARE THAT VISION 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

I cannot help but take 30 years to READ to KNOW the VISION as JESUS CHRIST did, then RUN with the READ and UNDERSTOOD VISION as He did in His three and a half years’ ministry of FULFILLING the Father God’s given cause and purpose. 
Fulfilling the commissioned mandate and assignment of the Father by READING to know and understand was a set prerogative, rather than RUNNING aimlessly without a full known PURPOSE and understood ASSIGNMENT for three and a half years as some may do, or may have done and are still doing. 
And unfortunately, that is tragically tragic — running aimlessly and being burnt out by putting the cart before the horse. 

Now, I am asking you — what can you learn of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in His plan and pursuit in doing that which is to fulfil the PURPOSE of God as assigned to Him? 
And how do you intend to go about yours with purpose, as it relates to READ before you RUN, in any of these — though not limited to — life MATTERS if you want to TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE: 

  • Marital Adventures 
  • Business Adventures 
  • Family Adventures 
  • Career Adventures 
  • Ministerial Calling Adventures 
  • Political Governance Adventures 
  • Leadership and Management Adventures 
  •  Relationship Adventures, . . . and many such like. 

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“. . . The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will MAKE my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to WALK upon mine HIGH PLACES” Habakkuk 3:17-19. 

“. . . 2 EVERY PLACE that the SOLE of your foot shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you, as I said unto Moses . . .” Joshua 1:1-9. 

“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. 

“I will stand upon my WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the vision, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN THAT READETH it. 3 For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the end it shall SPEAK, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a prophetic wake-up call to arise from slumber and DARE THAT VISION: “DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE” — IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD! 

It charges you to follow God’s divine order for fulfilment: WRITE the vision, MAKE it plain, READ to know and understand, then RUN with grace, wisdom and speed. Just as Jesus took 30 years to READ and KNOW before He ran for three and half years to FULFIL, you must not RUN aimlessly and burn out. God wants you victorious, triumphant, and established in HIGH PLACES in every area of life, empowered by His strength, not by striving. 

Key Points: 

  1. The Divine Process for Triumph: WRITE → MAKE PLAIN → READ → RUN 
    Victory begins with clarity. Document the vision, simplify it, and study it until you understand God’s PURPOSE and ASSIGNMENT. Only then should you RUN. This prevents putting “the cart before the horse” and the tragic cycle of aimless striving. – Habakkuk 2:1-4 “WRITE the vision, and make it PLAIN upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.“
  2. Christ Is Our Pattern 
    Jesus spent 30 years READYING to KNOW the Father’s will, then three and half years RUNNING to FULFIL it. Fulfilling the commissioned mandate by READING to know and understand was His set prerogative. Learn from His plan and pursuit.
  3. God Equips You for HIGH PLACES and EVERY PLACE 
    God Himself girds you with strength, perfects your way, and sets your feet like hinds’ feet upon HIGH PLACES. Every place you tread is given to you for triumph. – Psalm 18:32-33; 2 Samuel 22:32-34 “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my HIGH PLACES” 
    – Habakkuk 3:17-19 “The Lord God is my STRENGTH, and he will make my feet like HINDS’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine HIGH PLACES” 
    – Joshua 1:1-9 “EVERY PLACE that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you” 
    – 2 Corinthians 2:14 “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”
  4. Apply This Principle to ALL Life MATTERS 
    This READ before you RUN principle is WORTH pondering for: Marital Adventures, Business Adventures, Family Adventures, Career Adventures, Ministerial Calling Adventures, Political Governance Adventures, Leadership and Management Adventures, Relationship Adventures, and more. God wants you to be more than a conqueror and an overcomer in every way. – Romans 8:37
  5. The Result: VICTORY, TRIUMPH, and BLESSEDNESS 
    When you follow this order, you will sing Hallelujah songs of VICTORY and TRIUMPH like Moses, Miriam and the Israelites, and live in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. – Exodus 15:1-21

Call to Action: 

  1. WAKE UP. Arise from slumber. It is high and due time. 
  2. WRITE and MAKE PLAIN your vision. For each life matter listed above, get it down on paper. Make it simplified and readable. 
  3. COMMIT TO READ TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND. Do not rush. Wait on the Lord until the vision SPEAKS. Live by faith. – Habakkuk 2:3-4 “For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME… BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” 
  4. THEN RUN WITH GRACE, WISDOM AND SPEED. Once you have understanding, move with purpose. Put the horse before the cart for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory. 
  5. DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE. Believe that God is your STRENGTH and will cause you to triumph always in Christ.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED

By Leave a Comment

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

“This Book of the LAW shall not DEPART from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will MAKE YOUR way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

Success, to me, is failure turned inside out. It is the ability and capacity of using God’s Word in context, and in principle, to cause a failed state to become a successful state again. Anything otherwise is abuse, scam, and fraud. For in life, ABUSE means – ABNORMAL [ABNORMALLY] USE of anything in principle against its intended expectations. It is a result of being uninformed of the PURPOSE of a thing. There is ABUSE in almost every place in life – abuse of individuals or people, position, relationship, family and marital life, power, material resources [money, time and effort], opportunities, and facilitating materials, and such like. 

An example of an abusive atmosphere can be found in marriages. In some marriages, because most people are not properly INFORMED of the PURPOSE of MARRIAGE, they abuse their spouses. We often see how much resources are spent in FORTUNES in terms of – Time, Money, Material, People and Effort – in preparing for a one-day WEDDING; while those same people make no adequate preparation to ensure an assured life journey. And in some cases, those involved are not properly INFORMED with the set PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT for them to be successful in the intended MARRIAGE; and that marriage itself is supposedly to be a lifetime journey in grace, till death do either or both apart. And yes, everyone clamours for success and excellence but challenges the principles meant to keep them responsible and accountable to their desired causes in context and content. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRING], not KNOWING the Scriptures [PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING] nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

It is because of some people’s failure in principle regarding the purpose of a thing, that is why we see today so much infighting and abuse within; and so many unnecessary reasons being given for divorce, or for divorcing one another respectively. 

And thus, happenings that OUGHT not to be, especially in a Born Again Believer’s home in Christ Jesus. 

And unfortunately in most cases, where children are involved, they get them innocently drawn in. And that has created an incomprehensible and unimaginable, devastating and depressing state of mind for the children in such marital relationships. 

Some will have their children abused, irrespective, for the same lack of an informed state — in context, in principle, and in purpose — of being blessed with these blessed children. 

A fulfilling life is more than mere wishes; otherwise everyone would have it with ease. It is built and achieved through the principles laid out in God’s Word in context. That is how the content can be materialised and be fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in grace. 

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

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall have PLENTY OF BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH AFTER VAIN PERSONS shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-24. 

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN PERSONS is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11/Emphasis mine. 

The KNOWLEDGE of a thing empowers and emancipates. It helps to make an informed decision by the Word of God and to fulfil purpose in context and content. 

While IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, it is a DIS-EASE [AN UNEASE] — a place and position that is worse than any cancerous disease of any sort. For by it, many talents, visions, and dreams to enhance life and godly living have ended up in the GRAVEYARDS unfulfilled. 

And in some cases it has created a failed individual, in a failed family, in a failed community, in a failed society; and robbed such of creativity, innovation, and the power to initiate and explore opportunities to greatness that is fulfilling in purpose and in the principles the world desires to behold.  

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

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God to that your intended VISION. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:1-4 especially the verses 2 which states: 

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

The Habakkuk scripture did not say — “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ”, but rather said — “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”; which thus means, NO READING, then NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances. 

The principle herein is this — you have to READ in order to know and understand; you need to be fully informed of the context and principle; you need to obtain the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the said VISIONED CONCEPT. That is, to have the clarity to enable you to WALK in WISDOM before running with that intended life vision, which could be in these terms but not limited to: 

  • Executing a Business/Enterprise 
  • Pursuing a Career 
  • Positioning a Ministerial Gospel Ministry 
  • Pursuing Governance in Politics/Government 
  • Pursuing Leadership in any Management 
  • Pursuing Matters of Marriage/Relationship 
  • Pursuing any such like matters, though not mentioned, that pertain to life and godly living 

When you do not READ before you RUN, as Scripturally set as the principle for greatness and fulfilling purpose, then failure and frustration await. Just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations, simply because of RUNNING ahead by mere ZEAL or PASSION, without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the FULNESS at hand of what it takes in their VISIONED CONCEPT. 

I plead with you today, to make amends. RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING it again before RUNNING with it. Your greatness in principle and purpose is enviable when the Scriptural context to the content is taken into consideration. 

Therefore, as you set your day’s PLANS, PURPOSES, AND PURSUITS, endeavour to be assured by READING to UNDERSTAND before RUNNING with it. BE WELL INFORMED TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE TRANSFORMATION to a fulfilled life in grace. 

God wants you to both SUCCEED and be FULFILLED — only it is by PRINCIPLE and not by METHOD. For what may apply to one case may not apply to another. Hence application by METHODS will fail in most cases, while application by PRINCIPLE will always triumph.  

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“This Book of the Law shall not DEPART from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

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

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

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRING], not KNOWING the Scriptures [PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING] nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a charge to every Born Again Believer: YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED — not by METHOD, but by PRINCIPLE through the Word of God. Success is not accidental. It is the result of READING, KNOWING, and APPLYING God’s Word in context to cause failure to turn into success. When we ignore God’s principles and run with zeal, passion, or methods alone, we produce ABUSE, FRUSTRATION, and UNFULFILLED destinies. God commands us to repent from ignorance, take heed to His Word, and grow into greatness and wholeness in Christ Jesus. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. Success is Defined by the Word 
    Joshua 1:8 — “For then you will make your way PROSPEROUS, and then you will have GOOD SUCCESS.” 
    Success = failure turned inside out. It is the capacity to use God’s Word in context and in principle to restore a failed state. Anything outside this is ABUSE, SCAM, and FRAUD.
  2. Abuse is a Result of Ignorance of Purpose
    ABUSE = ABNORMAL USE against God’s intended expectation. It happens in marriage, family, work, ministry, and resources when people are not INFORMED of the PURPOSE, PLAN, and PURSUIT.
    Example: People spend fortunes on a one-day WEDDING but make no preparation for a lifetime MARRIAGE. This produces infighting, divorce, and children caught in devastating homes. Matthew 22:29 — “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the power of God.”
  3. Ignorance is a DIS-EASE Worse Than Sickness
    IGNORANCE buries talents, visions, and dreams in the GRAVEYARD. It creates failed individuals, families, communities, and societies. Acts 17:30 — “God now COMMANDS all men everywhere to REPENT” from ignorance.
    KNOWLEDGE empowers and emancipates. It enables informed decisions and fulfilment of purpose.
  4. The Scriptural Order: READ Before You RUN Habakkuk 2:2 — “WRITE the VISION… that he may RUN that READETH it.”
  5. NO READING, then NO RUNNING. You must obtain KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your VISIONED CONCEPT before you act. This applies to: Business, Career, Ministry, Government, Leadership, Marriage, and all matters of life and godliness. Running with ZEAL without READING leads to failure.
  6. Principle Triumphs Over Method
    Colossians 4:17 — “TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY… that thou FULFIL it.”
    Proverbs 28:19-20 — The one who TILLETH his land shall have plenty. Haste to be rich brings poverty. 

What works by METHOD for one may fail for another. But PRINCIPLE from God’s Word will always triumph and produce fulfilment. God wants you to both SUCCEED and be FULFILLED — by PRINCIPLE. 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. REPENT FROM IGNORANCE: Acknowledge where you have been running without reading. Choose today to be taught by the Word. Acts 17:30 
  2. READ, MEDITATE, AND OBSERVE THE WORD: Let the Book of the Law not depart from your mouth. Meditate day and night so you can observe to do. Joshua 1:8 
  3. RE-EVALUATE YOUR VISION: Before you RUN, READ again. Get the context, principle, and fulness of what God is saying about your business, career, ministry, marriage, and leadership. 
  4. TAKE HEED TO FULFIL YOUR MINISTRY/PURPOSE: Cultivate your “land”. Be faithful, not hasty. Build with principles, not vain pursuits. Colossians 4:17; Proverbs 12:11 
  5. BE WELL INFORMED FOR TRANSFORMATION: As you set your day’s PLANS, PURPOSES, AND PURSUITS, ensure you are rooted in Scriptural context so your content can be materialised and fulfilled in grace. 

FINAL CHARGE 
You are born of God to succeed and be fulfilled. Don’t chase methods. Embrace principles. Read first. Understand first. Walk in wisdom first. Then run — and you will prosper and have good success. Amen.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED 

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

There is an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

However, in life we are faced daily by THE POWER OF CHOICE . . . and that is to BECOME by THE WORD of God, or by our fleshly self-made belief, or by man-made religious secularism or sectarianism and such like. 

For God’s WORD is IRREVOCABLE in all His promises . . . 
Hence, to BECOME in that desired yearning of your heart by the enabling power of self-choice in IGNORANCE of THE WORD of God is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE, DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. 

Therefore, SELAH — PAUSE and THINK. 
IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE [UNEASE] place and position that is worse than any cancerous disease — which God abhors and once winked at. [Acts 17:30-31] 
For it breeds stupidity, foolishness and arrogance. 
For by IGNORANCE, many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, have ended up in the graveyards UNFULFILLED. 
And those who by chance have amassed anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place of unproductivity, as it is thus written: 

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

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

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

The Scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ” but rather that “he MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. 
Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances about you. 

The principle there is this: that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory direction. That is to say, to obtain the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage [Marital-Relationships], Friendship-Relationship and such like. 

If otherwise you RUN before you READ to know and understand the road map of your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, then FAILURE awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. 

It is because of their RUNNING by mere zeal or passion without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. 

Simply know for the truth that a good understanding breeds favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness, as it is written:  

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

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

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

Have a graceful and blessed day. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

 
SUMMARY: 
You were BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED. But it will not happen by zeal, passion, or man-made systems. It happens BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD. 

  1. THE FOUNDATION: KNOW THE WORD AND THE POWER OF GOD

Matthew 22:29 — “Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” 
Error, mistakes, and powerlessness come from ignorance of the Word. 
God has an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in Christ Jesus’ stead. But you access it through the Word. 

  1. THE DAILY REALITY: THE POWER OF CHOICE

Every day you face a choice of how you will BECOME: 

BY THE WORD of God — God’s promises are IRREVOCABLE 

By fleshly self-made belief 

By man-made religious secularism, sectarianism, and such like 

To choose to become by IGNORANCE of THE WORD is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE, DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. 

  1. THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE

IGNORANCE is called a DIS-EASE [UNEASE]. It is worse than any cancerous disease and is what God abhors — Acts 17:30-31. 
What ignorance produces: 

  • Stupidity, foolishness and arrogance 
  • Unfulfilled talents, vision, dreams and aspirations that end up in the graveyard 
  • Unproductivity even if anything is amassed by chance 
  • Proverbs 21:16* — “The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD” 
  1. THE DIVINE PRINCIPLE: READ BEFOREYOURUN 

From Habakkuk 2:2 — “WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it” 
The order is not “He that runs may read”. It is “he MAY RUN that READS”. 
Meaning: NO READING, NO RUNNING. 

Why? 
Reading gives you KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT. That gives you clarity to WALK IN WISDOM before you run in: 
Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage, Friendship and every area of life. 

If you RUN before you READ, FAILURE awaits. Many have become victims of their own creations because they ran with zeal and passion but without knowing and understanding the fulness of their vision. 

Proverbs 13:15 — “GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [IGNORANCE] is HARD” 
Good understanding produces favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness.  

  1. THE CALL TO ACTION: RE-EVALUATE AND CHOOSE WISELY

Colossians 4:17 — “TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” 
Today the charge is: make amends. RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING. 

THE POWER OF CHOICE: 
To BECOME BY THE WORD is BLESSEDNESS 
To BECOME BY IGNORANCE is DEADLY 

IN ONE SENTENCE: 
God has ordained you for daily triumph and fulfilment, but you must choose the Word over ignorance, because success in every area of life only comes by reading, knowing, and understanding the principles of the Word before you run — otherwise zeal without knowledge leads to failure and unproductivity.

THE CHOICE OF BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST 

By Leave a Comment

THE CHOICE OF BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST: TO BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL! 

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

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19. 

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL. 

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? Yet such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men to applaud. 

A person in pursuit of MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single-person ministry, especially to one in a DESERT (remote) place, as accomplished by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions is only possible for a person of and for FULFILMENT; that is a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly believes in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS, as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”. 

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you MEASURE your WORTH in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS, or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment. 

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person, or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment? Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s – PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with anything outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and as he exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.  

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL. 

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19. 

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; JESUS OF NAZARETH, A MAN APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22. 

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8. 

“. . . Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which PHILIP SPAKE, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40. 

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19. 

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12. 

“For REBELLION is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:23. 

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a Kingdom charge that asks us to choose FULFILMENT in CHRIST or SUCCESS the world chases. God wants us EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED. The key is OBEYING GOD’S CALL — like Jesus, Paul, Philip, and Archippus did. 

  1. THE BIG POINT: FULFILMENT IS BETTER THAN SUCCESS 
    FULFILMENT vs SUCCESS: FULFILMENT means being COMPLETE and WHOLE in LIFE and GODLINESS through Christ. SUCCESS means big achievements, money, titles that men clap for. 
    WHAT ARE YOU WORTH TO GOD? God does not measure you by cars, houses, or titles. He measures you by how well you FINISH the WORK and PURPOSE He gave you [Col 4:17; Acts 26:19]. 
    BOTH ARE FROM GOD, BUT FULFILMENT GOES DEEPER: SUCCESS is GOOD and FROM GOD [Joshua 1:8]. But FULFILMENT is when you are READY, WILLING, and OBEDIENT to do ALL of God’s PLAN for your LIFE without cutting corners [Phil 3:1-16]. 
  1. GOD’S COMMAND: OBEY HIS CALL
    BIBLE COMMAND: “TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY you RECEIVED, and FULFIL IT” [Col 4:17]. Paul said, “I was NOT DISOBEDIENT to the HEAVENLY VISION” [Acts 26:19]. 
    WHAT IT MEANS: FULFILMENT comes from DAILY OBEDIENCE to God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. 
    WHY OBEDIENCE MATTERS: God said OBEDIENCE is BETTER than SACRIFICE [1 Sam 15:23; Isa 1:19]. REBELLION is as bad as WITCHCRAFT [1 Sam 15:23]. 
  1. THE SURPRISING TRUTH:FROM BIG PLACE TO DESERT PLACE
    GOD’S STRANGE WAY: “CAN YOU LEAVE A PLACE OF GLAMOUR SUCCESS FOR A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? YET THAT DESERT PLACE CAN BE YOUR PLACE OF FULFILMENT.” What looks like loss to men can be God’s best for you. 
    PHILIP’S STORY [Acts 8:1-40; Acts 21:8]: Philip was in SAMARIA with “GREAT JOY” — miracles, healings, crowds. But God said, “Go to the DESERT, Gaza Road”. He left the crowd to preach to ONE MAN, the Ethiopian eunuch. That is FULFILMENT. 
    WHO CAN DO THIS? Only a person who LOVES WHOLENESS and is ready to GO WHEREVER THE LORD LEADS — “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”. A SUCCESS-chaser will find it HARD to leave BIG POSITION for ONE PERSON in a VILLAGE. 
  1. PEOPLE WHO LIVED IT
    JESUS: “A MAN APPROVED OF GOD” by signs and wonders [Acts 2:22]. His whole life was doing the Father’s PURPOSE. 
    APOSTLE PAUL: He lived 100% for God’s PLAN without compromise [Phil 3:1-16]. 
    ARCHIPPUS: Paul told him, “FULFIL the ministry God gave you” [Col 4:17]. 
  1. GOD’S PROMISE AND GOD’S WARNING
    GOD’S PROMISE: “If you are WILLING and OBEDIENT, you will EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND” [Isa 1:19]. “If you OBEY and SERVE Him, your DAYS will be PROSPEROUS” [Job 36:11-12]. “Then you will have GOOD SUCCESS” [Joshua 1:8]. 
    GOD’S WARNING: REBELLION and STUBBORNNESS are like IDOLATRY. If you DISOBEY, God will REJECT you [1 Sam 15:23]. 
  1. FINAL QUESTION FOR YOU
    THE CHOICE: “ARE YOU A CRAZY SUCCESS CHASER, OR A PERSON OF FULFILMENT IN GOD’S ASSIGNMENT?” 
    THE LIFE GOD WANTS: A GOD-DRIVEN LIFE that gives MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT in GOD’S BLESSEDNESS — far better than just being SUCCESSFUL. 
    PAUSE AND THINK — SELAH: The message ends with Bible verses to help you check yourself and return to OBEDIENCE. 

ONE SENTENCE CONCLUSION: 
Choose FULFILMENT over SUCCESS. FULFILMENT is OBEYING GOD’S PLAN even if it takes you from GLAMOUR to DESERT. That is where your TRUE WORTH and BLESSEDNESS in Christ is found. SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is empty. FULFILMENT is always complete.

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE 

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS! 

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord ALONE did LEAD him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD with him.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12. 

The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked beak and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination, and grace. 

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord CALLED unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself”. Exodus:19:3-4 

The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR showcases its splendour – a wonderful, elegant display of simplicity in its NURTURE and NATURE. This is what Proverbs 30:18-19 described as the great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – the EAGLE. 

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’ Proverbs 30:18-19. 

The Eagle tends to RENEW – rejuvenate and revitalise – itself at old age to keep itself full of life and vision. The Eagles do not allow age to deter them, instead RENEW their days to keep themselves alive and in command as the king of the air. 

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name . . . 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5. 

The EAGLES are venerated as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence. What makes this bird so important and symbolic to humanity are its characteristics. And the eagle’s characteristics include, but aren’t limited to: 

  • The Eagles are known of KEENNESS of sight – VISION 
  • The Eagles are known to be BRAVED (ferocious) – FEARLESS 
  • The Eagles are known to be of FIERCENESS (aggressive) – TENACIOUS 
  • The Eagles are known to RE-ENERGIES (metamorphosis) – VITALITY 
  • The Eagles are known as HIGHFLYERS – ALTITUDE  
  • The Eagles are known to NURTURE and NATURE their young – MENTORING 
  • The Eagles are known NOT to EAT dead meat – NON-SCAVENGER  
  • The Eagles are known to FLOCK together – COMMUNITY 
  • The Eagles are known to ENSURE assurance – TRUSTING  
  • The Eagles are known for BEAUTY in grace – ELEGANT 
  • . . . and such like. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14. 

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5. 

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6. 

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW forth the PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of DARKNESS into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past WERE not a PEOPLE, but are NOW the PEOPLE of God: which had not OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION! 

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION! 

“Where there is NO VISION [NO REVELATION of God and His WORD], the people are UNRESTRAINED [PERISHED]; But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God]” Proverbs 29:18/Amplified. 

No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to start, sustain and to maintain it in the grace. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION. 

For LEADERSHIP’S MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time, talent and equipped materials are involved. A clear cutting-edged vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involved in the mission. 

The Eagles are known to be visionary because of their highly sighted eyes. It’s foresight and insightful nature are the great attributes that characterise this awesome creation of God. Hence, it can take on its prey on the ground from its grandstand gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style in a grand distance. 

Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of talent, finance, material, time and people. Hence, where there’s no vision, in the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like, likelihood to collapse is certainly possible. Infact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ensure the assured atmosphere you want to enjoy, as you’ve VISIONED and VISUALISED in the grace. 

So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning, endeavour to make it KNOWN [KNOWLEDGEABLE] and UNDERSTANDABLY, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT. 

REMEMBER ALWAYS – TO READ BEFORE YOU RUN [SIGNED AGREEMENT]. 

IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Where there is NO VISION, the PEOPLE PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18. 

“I will STAND upon MY WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

“In the year that king Uzziah died I SAW also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine EYES HAVE SEEN the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I HEARD the voice of the Lord, saying, WHOM SHALL I SEND, and who will go for us? Then said I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, GO, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but UNDERSTAND not; and SEE ye indeed, but PERCEIVE not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

PREPAREDNESS: MARK OF BEING READY TO RUN!

PREPAREDNESS: MARK OF BEING READY TO RUN! 

For an effectual and efficient PREPAREDNESS in the grace, there’s the need to be intentional and pragmatic to “WRITE THE VISION DOWN – MAKE IT PLAIN – “READ BEFORE YOU RUN”; and by a wise and diligent preparation in the Word of grace, through FAITH and PATIENCE, you can then enhance and be delivered to your inheritance. 

BLESSEDNESS. 

SCRIPTURAL READING FOR YOUR THOUGHT. 

“The Lord gave the WORD: great was the company of those that PUBLISHED it”. Psalms 68:11. 

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are sanctified” Acts 20:32. 

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12. 

“I will STAND upon my WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3. For the VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the END it shall SPEAK, and not lie: though it TARRY, WAIT for it; because it will SURELY come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

“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.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED

By Leave a Comment

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

“This Book of the LAW shall not DEPART from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will MAKE YOUR way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Success to me is failure turned inside out. It’s the ability and capacity of using God’s word in context, and in principle to cause a failed state to become a successful state again. Anything otherwise is  abuse, scam and fraud. For in life, ABUSE means – ABNORMAL [ABNORMALLY] USE of anything in principle against the expectations. It’s a result of being uninformed of the PURPOSE of a thing. There’s ABUSE in almost in every places in life – abuse of individual or people, position, relationship, family and marital life, power, material resources [money, time and effort], opportunities and facilitating materials  and such like.

An example of an abusive atmosphere can be found in marriages. In some marriages, because majority of time most people are not properly INFORMED of the PURPOSE of MARRIAGE they abuse their spouses. We see often how much resources are spent in FORTUNES  in terms of – Time, Money, Material, People and Efforts – in preparing for a day WEDDING; while those concerns make no adequate preparation to ensure an assured life journey; and in some cases, those involved are not properly INFORMED with the set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT, for them to be successful of the intended MARRIAGE;  and that marriage itself it’s supposedly to be a lifetime journey in grace, till death do either or both apart. And yes, everyone clamour for success and excellence but challenges the principles in terms to keep them responsible and accountable to their desired causes in context and content.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRING], not KNOWING the Scriptures [PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING] nor the power of God”  Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine.

It’s because of some people’s failing state in principle on the purpose of a thing, that’s why we see  many in-fighting today and abuse within; and many unnecessary reasons being given for divorce or divorcing each other respectively. And thus, happenings that OUGHT not to be, especially in a Born Again Believer in Christ Jesus’ home. And unfortunately in most cases, where children are available, they get them innocently involved, and that has created an incomprehensible and unimaginable devastating and depressing state of mind for the children in such marital relationship. Some will have their children abused irrespective, for same lack of informed state in context, in principle and in purpose, of being blessed with these blessed children. A fulfilling life is more than mere wishes otherwise any will have it with ease. It’s built and achieved through the principles laid out in God’s word in context. That’s how the content can be materialised and fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in the grace.

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

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall have PLENTY OF BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH AFTER VAIN PERSONS shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-24.

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN PERSONS is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11/Emphasis mine.

The KNOWLEDGE of a thing empowers and emancipates. It helps to make an informed decision by the word of God and to fulfil purpose in context and content. While IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASED [AN UNEASE] place and position that is worse than a cancerous disease of any sort. For by it many talents, vision and dreams to enhance life and godly living has ended up in the GRAVEYARD unfulfilled. And in some cases has created a failed individual in a failed family in a failed community in a failed society; and robbing such of creativity, innovation and the power to initiate and explore opportunities to greatness that’s fulfilling in purpose and principles of the world desired to behold.

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

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God to that your intended VISION. This is profound when one takes light from Habakkuk 2:1-4 especially the verses 2 which states:

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

The scripture in Habakkuk did not say – He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ, but rather said – “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH“; which thus Mean, NO READING, then, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances. The principle herein is this – you have to READ in order to know and understand; you need to acquire or be fully informed of the context and principle; you need to obtain the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the said VISIONED CONCEPT – that is, to have the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that intended life vision, which could be in these terms but not limited to:

  • Executing a Business/Enterprise,
  • Pursuing a Career,
  • Positioning a Ministerial Gospel Ministry,
  • Pursuing governance in Politics/Government
  • Pursuing Leadership in any Management
  • Pursuing matters of Marriage/Relationship
  • Pursuing any such like matters though not mentioned that pertains to life and godly living.

When you don’t read before you run as Scripturally set as a principle for greatness and fulfilling purpose, then failure and frustration awaits; just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations; simply because of their RUNNING ahead by their mere ZEAL or PASSION, without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND, the FULNESS at hand of what it takes in their VISIONED CONCEPT.

I plead with you today, to make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING it again before RUNNING with it. Your greatness in principle and purpose is enviable when the Scriptural context to the content is taken into consideration. Therefore, as you set your day’s PLANS PURPOSES AND PURSUITS, endeavour to ensure to be assured, by READING to UNDERSTAND before RUNNING with it. BE WELL INFORMED TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE TRANSFORMATION to a fulfilled life in the grace.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a graceful and blessed day.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK
