LOOKING UNTO JESUS ALONE, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH IS THE ANSWER!
The Spirit of God through Apostle Paul counselled that:
If you then be risen with Christ, SEEK those THINGS which are ABOVE, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
SET your AFFECTION (love) on things ABOVE, not on things on the earth.
For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4).
But the Bible reveals that:
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment. Because as He is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17).
As Jesus Christ is, so you and I are in this World. Halleluyah!
Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which do so easily beset us and let us RUN with patience the RACE that is set before us.
LOOKING unto JESUS the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our FAITH. Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1,2).
Why should you look unto JESUS CHRIST alone?
Because you and I must consciously and consistently depend and look unto Him (Jesus Christ) alone coveting His character (fruits of the Spirit) and competent (gifts of the Spirit) to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in this World as He did. (Galatians 5:16-26; 1 Corinthians 12; Romans 8:28-30).
Because He (Jesus Christ who) was rich became poor for the sake of you and I, so that through His poverty, we might become rich. Halleluyah! (2 Corinthians 8:9).
This means that:
1. When Satan comes against you with POWERLESS, you look unto the spiritual POWER in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (John 1:12; Act 1:8).
2. When Satan comes against you with POVERTY, you look into the spiritual RICHES in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 3:19).
3. When Satan comes against you with LIES, you look unto the spiritual WISDOM (truth) in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (James 1:5-8).
4. When Satan comes against you with WEAKNESS (sickness), you look unto the spiritual STRENGTH (healing) in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (Isaiah 40:28-31).
5. When Satan comes against you with DISHONOUR, you look unto the spiritual HONOUR in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as reveal in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True!
6. When Satan comes against you with SHAME, you look unto the spiritual GLORY in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (Isaiah 60).
7. When Satan comes against you with CURSES, you look unto the spiritual BLESSINGS in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (Galatians 3:13,14).
The Bible reveals that Jesus Christ obtained these above seven foundational and fundamental lifelines for you and me with His sinless and precious blood He shared on the Cross of calvary on our behalf many years ago. His death and resurrection got us the victory over the devil and the blessings of Abraham. Halleluyah! (Please read Revelation 5-1-12; Galatians 3:13,14).
These seven foundational and fundamental divine lifelines for living victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily on Earth are heavenly placed as spiritual blessings for you and I.
The Bible reveals this:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.
Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Ephesians 1:3-7).
This is why Jesus Christ teaches you and I to pray thus:
Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10).
With the above understanding in mind that Jesus Christ has obtained all that we need spiritually and physically to win and succeed on Earth, Apostle Paul boldly declared thus:
I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me.
My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13, 19).
Why worry when JESUS CHRIST had done it all for you?
Why worry when you can pray?
Why worry when you can trust?
Why worry when you have a God that answers prayer?
Only consciously and persistently LOOK unto JESUS CHRIST each day and it will be yours as you sensitively listen and humbly obey the voice of His Holy Spirit within you each day. True!
In this era and age of uncommon deception and manipulation within and outside the Church of Christ, LOOKING unto Jesus Christ ALONE is the only answer. True!
God bless you.

HAVING UNRELENTING FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD IS THE ANSWER!
HAVING UNRELENTING FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD IS THE ANSWER!
Unrelenting faith in the living God is a faith that do not allow God to go except He does something concerning an unwanted situation.
It is faith that says absolute yes to God and absolute no to Satan. (1 Peter 5:7-10).
It is faith that WAITS long enough on GOD, until He does something concerning an unpleasant situation.
That is, is faith that WAIT on GOD, no matter how long it will take Him to do something concerning an ugly situation.
The Bible says that:
Have you not known? Have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding.
He gives power to the faint. And to them that have no might he increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary and the young men shall utterly fall
But they that WAIT upon the LORD shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31).
It is uncompromising faith in the living God's faithfulness, willingness and ability to save and help in a seemingly hopeless and helpless situation. (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
It is faith that does not draw back from trusting God, no matter what.
Apostle Paul said that:
Now the just shall LIVE by FAITH. But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
But we are not of them who DRAW BACK unto perdition. But of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10:38,39).
It is faith that does not give up until an ugly and unpleasant situation gives up to the wisdom and power of the living God in Christ. Halleluyah! (1 Corinthians 1:23-25).
1. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made Jacob not to let go of the angel of God until he blessed him. (Genesis 32:24-30).
2. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made Noah continue building the ark as commanded him by God against all mockery and saved himself and his household from divine judgment and destruction. (Genesis 6-9).
3. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made Abraham to stay on God's promise to him until he saw it happened in his life. (Romans 4:16-25).
4. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made Joseph to stay on to his divine dream despite all conspiracies against him and God justified him at last. (Genesis 37-50).
5. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made Esther to fast and pray and boldly went into the king's presence when she was not supposed to do so and God vindicated her and compelled the king to favour her and grant her request, which saved her and her people. (Esther 3-8).
6. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to rejected the King's portion and refuse to compromise God's standard for them and God protected them and promoted them. (Daniel 1-6).
7. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made four friends of a sick man to get through a roof to get their friend down to Jesus and got him healed by Jesus. (Luke 2:1-12).
8. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made the woman with an issue of blood to pressed on through the crowd to touch the helm of Jesus' garment and got her miraculous healing. (Matthew 9:18-22).
9. It was unrelenting faith in the living God that made Apostle Paul to put on a fight of faith to overcome all his numerous challenges to fulfill his DIVINE DESTINY (life purpose in Christ) in this World. (2 Corinthians 21-33; Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
Unrelenting faith in the living God sees a way of divine solutions to human problems, where others do not. Halleluyah!
Unrelenting faith in the living God sees a way of divine answers to human prayers, where others do not. Halleluyah!
Unrelenting faith in the living God sees a way of divine possibilities to human impossibilities, where others do not. Halleluyah!
Unrelenting faith in the living God challenges and move Him (God) to move to intervene in one's unpleasant situation, when all hope seem lost. (Hebrews 11).
When you have unrelenting faith in the living God, you do not draw back from the Christian race for any reason or because of obstacles and oppressions on your way, but you study His word more, pray more and trust more. This is because, you truly do not have other options or alternative than the Christ-way. (Luke 18:1-8; 1 Peter 5:7-10).
Unrelenting faith in the living God works miracles, signs and wonders in turning humanly and seemly impossible situations into divinely possible situations in this World
Unrelenting faith in the living God is the only way out for a genuine child of God in Christ in this World.
This is because:
1. Without it, you wouldn't really and truly receive all divine promises meant for you in Christ in this World. True! (Hebrews 11:1-6).
2. Without it, you can't really and truly fulfil your DIVINE DESTINY (life purpose in Christ) in this World. True! (2 Timothy 4:5-8).
It is faith that stays on, no matter what or the odds until the living God makes something happen miraculously.
Take note and take heed that your unrelenting faith in the living God is the one and only option you have in Christ in this World. Stay on! (Hebrews 11:6).
You will succeed in Jesus name.
God bless you.

WHOLEHEARTEDLY TRUST IN THE WORD OF GOD!
- WHOLEHEARTEDLY TRUST IN THE WORD OF GOD!
Wholeheartedly trust in the WORD OF GOD. It will work miracles, signs and wonders for you in Christ in this World. Yes, it will!
The Bible reveals thus:
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater:
So shall my WORD be that goes forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:8-11).
Again I say to you to wholeheartedly trust in the WORD OF GOD long enough. It will work wonders in your life and situations in your due time and season in Christ in this World. True!
Welcome to a week of good things by the WORD OF GOD.
God bless you.

THE POWER OF SIN AND SPIRITUAL WEIGHTS CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE AND DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
THE POWER OF SIN & SPIRITUAL WEIGHTS CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE & DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
Concerning SIN and spiritual WEIGHTS, the Bible counsels us thus:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every WEIGHT and the SIN which does so easily beset us and let us RUN with patience the RACE that is set before us.
LOOKING unto JESUS the author and finisher of our faith. Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For considering Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds. (Hebrews 12:1-3).
The Bible says that:
1. The LAW of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul.
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the LAW of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
2. The TESTIMONY of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple (humble).
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the TESTIMONY of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
3. The STATUTES of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart.
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the STATUTES of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
4. The COMMANDMENT of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
SIN is anything thought, spoken or done by anybody against the COMMANDMENTS of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
5. The FEAR of the LORD is clean, enduring forever.
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the FEAR of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
6. The JUDGMENT of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the JUDGMENT of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
(Psalm 19:7-14).
SIN is the transgressing or trespassing against the LAW of God, TESTIMONY of God, STATUTES of God, COMMANDMENT of God, FEAR of God and the JUDGMENT of God in Christ in this World. Therefore, it is some times called transgressions or trespasses. (1 John 3:4).
In other words, SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the WORD of God, WAY of GOD and WILL of God in Christ in this World. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
Anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the Word of God, Way of God and Will of God in Christ in this World is UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in the sight and side of God in this World
Therefore, the Bible says that ALL unrighteousness is a SIN before GOD:
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death. I do not say that he shall pray for it.
ALL unrighteousness is SIN. And there is a sin not unto death.
We know that whosoever is born of God sins not. But he that is begotten of God keeps himself and that wicked one touches him not.
And we know that we are of God and the whole world lies in wickedness.
And we know that the Son of God is come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols (demons). Amen. (1 John 5:16-21).
SIN brings spiritual WEIGHTS of demonic presence, traits and activities within or outside us, which make our spiritual RACE in Christ in this World tiresome, slow and unprofitable to God and humanity.
So, spiritual WEIGHTS are works of the flesh (demonic presence, traits and activities) in or out of us that slow us down from running effectively and efficiently the RACE that is set before us in Christ in this World.
The Bible lists some of them thus:
This I say then, walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary the one to the other. So that you CANNOT do the things that you would.
But if you be LED of the Spirit, you are NOT under the law.
Now the WORKS of the FLESH are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not INHERIT the kingdom of God (Holy Spirit). (Galatians 5:16-21; Romans 1:28-32).
Please take note of these two critical points from the above scriptural passage:
1. The works of the flesh incapacitates you from doing what you ought to do for God and humanity in Christ in this World.
2. The works of the flesh wrongly positions and conditions you from inheriting (receiving) the Holy Spirit (Kingdom of God) in Christ in this World.
However, the good news is that JESUS CHRIST came to destroy the works of the devil to enable you and I receive the Kingdom of God (Holy Spirit), so that we can do whatsoever wants us to do for Him and Humanity. Halleluyah! (Galatians 3:13,14; Acts 1:8; Romans 8; Acts 2).
JESUS CHRIST came to wash away you and I SIN with His sinless and precious BLOOD before God, in order to take away our demonic spiritual WEIGHTS of the works of the flesh from us and replace them with the fruits of the Spirit of God. Halleluyah!
The Bible says that:
Behold (see), what manner of LOVE the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the SONS of God. Therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God and it does not yet appear what we shall be. But we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him. For we shall see Him as He is.
And every man that has this HOPE in Him purifies Himself, even as He is pure.
Whosoever commits SIN transgress also the law. For sin is the transgression of the law.
And you know that He was manifested to TAKE away our SINS. And in Him is no sin.
Whosoever abides in Him sins not. Whosoever sins has not seen Him, neither know Him.
Little children, let no man deceive you. He that does righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
He that commits sin is of the devil. For the devil sins from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the WORKS of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin. For His seed remains in Him. And he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil. Whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother. (1 John 3:1-10).
Therefore, Jesus Christ said:
Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
(Matthew 11:28-30).
Jesus Christ came to take away our SINS and WEIGHTS and to empower us with the the fruits of the Spirit, and gifts of the Spirit by the inheriting (receiving) of the Kingdom of God (Holy Spirit) within us. Halleluyah!
The Bible states the FRUITS of the Spirit thus:
But the FRUITS of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. (Galatians 5:22-26; Luke 17:20,21).
Furthermore, the Bible states the GIFTS of the Spirit thus:
Now concerning spiritual GIFTS, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
You know that you were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as you were led.
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed. And that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Romans 12:1-9; Ephesians 4:1-16).
SINS and WEIGHTS separates you from GOD and His GOODNESS (grace) in Christ in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Isaiah 59:1,2).
SIN and WEIGHTS that are inherited or habitual from family-line are called INIQUITIES. That is, sins that easily beset, entice or pressure us to transgress against the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ in this World.
These kind of sins and weights are devil, demons and demonized human satanic agents targets in the lives of children of God in Christ in this World. True! (Hebrews 12:1-3; James 1:12-15).
This why the Bible says that:
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3).
My answer is, run to JESUS CHRIST, the sure and safe foundation (rock) of God for salvation and good success in the new dispensation of GRACE. (Isaiah 28:16; Matthew 7:24-27; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 61).
Although, Colossians 2:8-10 tells us that we are spiritually complete in Christ, knowingly and unknowingly to many children of God in Christ in this World, INIQUITIES (inherited or habitual sins from family line) that are not completely dealt with in Christ, are most of the time what compels or pressurises them to continue to live in sin in Christ in this World. True!
King David in crying to God for mercy after sinfully sleeping with Bathsheba and killing her husband, Uriah, said:
...Behold, I was sharpen in INIQUITY. And in sin did my mother conceived me... (Psalm 51:1-13; 2 Samuel 11,12).
You and I needs to come to God personally like King David did and honestly and humbly ask Him thus:
Purge me with hyssop (the blood of Jesus Christ) and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Hide your face from sins and blot out all my INIQUITIES.
Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a right Spirit within me.
Cast me not aaway from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of yyour salvation and uphold me with your free Spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways and sinners shall be converted unto you. Yes, we needs to, now and then. True! (Psalm 51:7,9-13; 1 John 1).
Therefore, take note and take heed thus:
1. The devil seek each moment of the day to deceive and devour you, child of God, by enticing or pressuring you to transgress against GOD in Christ in the area of your inherited or habitual SIN. That is, in the area of your weakness (false humility) or strength (false pride). Yes, strength I said. True! (James 1:12-15; 1 Peter 5:7-10).
2. The devil has no real power over you until he succeeds in making you to SIN against GOD in this World. True! (1 John 5:16-21; James 1:12-15).
3. The devil's power over you is directly proportional to how he has succeeded in making you to SIN against GOD in this World. True! (Galatians 5:1).
This is why Apostle Paul counselled you and I thus:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us FREE and be not entangled again with the yoke of bonage. (Galatians 5:1).
Don't be deceived by anyone, SIN has the power to ruin your life and divine destiny in Christ in this World. This is evident throughout the Bible. True!
The commandment still remains thus:
But as He who has called you is HOLY, so be you HOLY in ALL manner of conversation.
Because it is written, Be you HOLY; for I am HOLY. (1 Peter 1:15,16; 1 Corinthians 15:33).
Take note, take heed!
Understanding that SIN against GOD is the only obstacle you have to His grace (favour) and glory (goodness and blessing) in Christ in this World, will liberate you forever to His grace and glory (goodness and blessing) as you flee away from SIN in this World. True! (Isaiah 59:1-3; Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 15:21).
Do have a SIN-FREE weekend!
God bless you.

2. The TESTIMONY of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple (humble).
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the TESTIMONY of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
3. The STATUTES of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart.
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the STATUTES of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
4. The COMMANDMENT of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
SIN is anything thought, spoken or done by anybody against the COMMANDMENTS of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
5. The FEAR of the LORD is clean, enduring forever.
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the FEAR of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
6. The JUDGMENT of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the JUDGMENT of the LORD in Christ in this World. True!
(Psalm 19:7-14).
SIN is the transgressing or trespassing against the LAW of God, TESTIMONY of God, STATUTES of God, COMMANDMENT of God, FEAR of God and the JUDGMENT of God in Christ in this World. Therefore, it is some times called transgressions or trespasses. (1 John 3:4).
In other words, SIN is anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the WORD of God, WAY of GOD and WILL of God in Christ in this World. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
Anything thought of, spoken or done by anybody against the Word of God, Way of God and Will of God in Christ in this World is UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in the sight and side of God in this World
Therefore, the Bible says that ALL unrighteousness is a SIN before GOD:
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death. I do not say that he shall pray for it.
ALL unrighteousness is SIN. And there is a sin not unto death.
We know that whosoever is born of God sins not. But he that is begotten of God keeps himself and that wicked one touches him not.
And we know that we are of God and the whole world lies in wickedness.
And we know that the Son of God is come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols (demons). Amen. (1 John 5:16-21).
SIN brings spiritual WEIGHTS of demonic presence, traits and activities within or outside us, which make our spiritual RACE in Christ in this World tiresome, slow and unprofitable to God and humanity.
So, spiritual WEIGHTS are works of the flesh (demonic presence, traits and activities) in or out of us that slow us down from running effectively and efficiently the RACE that is set before us in Christ in this World.
The Bible lists some of them thus:
This I say then, walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary the one to the other. So that you CANNOT do the things that you would.
But if you be LED of the Spirit, you are NOT under the law.
Now the WORKS of the FLESH are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not INHERIT the kingdom of God (Holy Spirit). (Galatians 5:16-21; Romans 1:28-32).
Please take note of these two critical points from the above scriptural passage:
1. The works of the flesh incapacitates you from doing what you ought to do for God and humanity in Christ in this World.
2. The works of the flesh wrongly positions and conditions you from inheriting (receiving) the Holy Spirit (Kingdom of God) in Christ in this World.
However, the good news is that JESUS CHRIST came to destroy the works of the devil to enable you and I receive the Kingdom of God (Holy Spirit), so that we can do whatsoever wants us to do for Him and Humanity. Halleluyah! (Galatians 3:13,14; Acts 1:8; Romans 8; Acts 2).
JESUS CHRIST came to wash away you and I SIN with His sinless and precious BLOOD before God, in order to take away our demonic spiritual WEIGHTS of the works of the flesh from us and replace them with the fruits of the Spirit of God. Halleluyah!
The Bible says that:
Behold (see), what manner of LOVE the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the SONS of God. Therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God and it does not yet appear what we shall be. But we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him. For we shall see Him as He is.
And every man that has this HOPE in Him purifies Himself, even as He is pure.
Whosoever commits SIN transgress also the law. For sin is the transgression of the law.
And you know that He was manifested to TAKE away our SINS. And in Him is no sin.
Whosoever abides in Him sins not. Whosoever sins has not seen Him, neither know Him.
Little children, let no man deceive you. He that does righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
He that commits sin is of the devil. For the devil sins from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the WORKS of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin. For His seed remains in Him. And he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil. Whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother. (1 John 3:1-10).
Therefore, Jesus Christ said:
Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
(Matthew 11:28-30).
Jesus Christ came to take away our SINS and WEIGHTS and to empower us with the the fruits of the Spirit, and gifts of the Spirit by the inheriting (receiving) of the Kingdom of God (Holy Spirit) within us. Halleluyah!
The Bible states the FRUITS of the Spirit thus:
But the FRUITS of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. (Galatians 5:22-26; Luke 17:20,21).
Furthermore, the Bible states the GIFTS of the Spirit thus:
Now concerning spiritual GIFTS, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
You know that you were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as you were led.
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed. And that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Romans 12:1-9; Ephesians 4:1-16).
SINS and WEIGHTS separates you from GOD and His GOODNESS (grace) in Christ in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Isaiah 59:1,2).
SIN and WEIGHTS that are inherited or habitual from family-line are called INIQUITIES. That is, sins that easily beset, entice or pressure us to transgress against the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ in this World.
These kind of sins and weights are devil, demons and demonized human satanic agents targets in the lives of children of God in Christ in this World. True! (Hebrews 12:1-3; James 1:12-15).
This why the Bible says that:
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3).
My answer is, run to JESUS CHRIST, the sure and safe foundation (rock) of God for salvation and good success in the new dispensation of GRACE. (Isaiah 28:16; Matthew 7:24-27; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 61).
Although, Colossians 2:8-10 tells us that we are spiritually complete in Christ, knowingly and unknowingly to many children of God in Christ in this World, INIQUITIES (inherited or habitual sins from family line) that are not completely dealt with in Christ, are most of the time what compels or pressurises them to continue to live in sin in Christ in this World. True!
King David in crying to God for mercy after sinfully sleeping with Bathsheba and killing her husband, Uriah, said:
...Behold, I was sharpen in INIQUITY. And in sin did my mother conceived me... (Psalm 51:1-13; 2 Samuel 11,12).
You and I needs to come to God personally like King David did and honestly and humbly ask Him thus:
Purge me with hyssop (the blood of Jesus Christ) and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Hide your face from sins and blot out all my INIQUITIES.
Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a right Spirit within me.
Cast me not aaway from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of yyour salvation and uphold me with your free Spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways and sinners shall be converted unto you. Yes, we needs to, now and then. True! (Psalm 51:7,9-13; 1 John 1).
Therefore, take note and take heed thus:
1. The devil seek each moment of the day to deceive and devour you, child of God, by enticing or pressuring you to transgress against GOD in Christ in the area of your inherited or habitual SIN. That is, in the area of your weakness (false humility) or strength (false pride). Yes, strength I said. True! (James 1:12-15; 1 Peter 5:7-10).
2. The devil has no real power over you until he succeeds in making you to SIN against GOD in this World. True! (1 John 5:16-21; James 1:12-15).
3. The devil's power over you is directly proportional to how he has succeeded in making you to SIN against GOD in this World. True! (Galatians 5:1).
This is why Apostle Paul counselled you and I thus:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us FREE and be not entangled again with the yoke of bonage. (Galatians 5:1).
Don't be deceived by anyone, SIN has the power to ruin your life and divine destiny in Christ in this World. This is evident throughout the Bible. True!
The commandment still remains thus:
But as He who has called you is HOLY, so be you HOLY in ALL manner of conversation.
Because it is written, Be you HOLY; for I am HOLY. (1 Peter 1:15,16; 1 Corinthians 15:33).
Take note, take heed!
Understanding that SIN against GOD is the only obstacle you have to His grace (favour) and glory (goodness and blessing) in Christ in this World, will liberate you forever to His grace and glory (goodness and blessing) as you flee away from SIN in this World. True! (Isaiah 59:1-3; Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 15:21).
Do have a SIN-FREE weekend!
God bless you.

THE SPIRITUAL STATUS AND STATE OF YOUR MIND PAR TIME MATTERS IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
THE SPIRITUAL STATUS AND STATE OF YOUR MIND PAR TIME MATTERS IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
The Bible reveals that:
For as he THINKS in his heart, so is he...
(Proverbs 23:7).
The spiritual STATUS of your MIND in Christ in this World talks of the POSITION of your mind in Christ in this World. True!
The spiritual STATE of your MIND in Christ in this World par time talks of the CONDITION of your mind in Christ in this World. True!
While the spiritual STATUS (position) of your MIND in Christ in this World is given by God to you by His Holy Spirit given to you at your moment of genuine salvation, the spiritual STATE (condition) of your MIND in Christ in this World is not given to you, but gradually developed by the Holy Spirit within you (with your cooperation) using the Word of God and suffering (test and trial). (Romans 8:14-19; James 1:2-8; Romans 12:1,2; Hebrews 12:1-14; 1 Peter 1:1-9; Hebrews 5:8,9).
Every genuine child of God has the STATUS (position) of the Mind of Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
But as it is written, EYE has not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.
But God has REVEALED them unto us by His Spirit. For the Spirit SEARCHES all things, yes, the deep things of God.
For what man KNOWS the things of a man, save (except) the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows NO man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God. That we might KNOW the things that are freely GIVEN to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom TEACHES, but which the Holy Ghost teaches. Comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receives NOT the things of the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness unto him. Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual JUDGES all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who has known the MIND of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we HAVE the Mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:1-30).
This spiritual STATUS (position) of the MIND of Christ given to us is a SOUND Mind. This is because it can receive the Word of God to know what He has freely given to us in Christ and can spiritually discern and judge all things according to the perfect Will of God in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible says that:
For God has NOT given us the spirit of fear. But of power, and of love, and of a SOUND mind. (2 Timothy 1:7).
Do you get it?
However, while all genuine children of God has the spiritual STATUS (position) of the Mind of Christ in this World to know what are freely given to him or her by God in Christ in this World, not every genuine child of God has the spiritual STATE (condition) of the MIND of Christ to see to the manifestation of those things that are freely given by God to him or her in Christ in this World. True!
This because God has designed that each of us by the leading and help of the Holy Spirit within us determine the spiritual STATE (condition) of our MIND in Christ in this World par time. True!
Therefore:
1. It Is your personal responsibility with the help of the Holy Spirit to:
Present your body, a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, as your reasonable service unto Him in Christ in this World and not to conform to this World, but be transformed by the renewing of your MIND with the WORD of God, so that you will be able to prove that which is good, acceptable and perfect WILL of God for you (or others as the case may be) in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 12:1,2).
2. It Is your personal responsibility with the help of the Holy Spirit to:
Let the WORD of CHRIST dwell in you RICHLY in ALL wisdom. Teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16; Matthew 7:24-27; Hebrews 5:12-14).
3. It is your personal responsibility with the help of the Holy Spirit to:
Study to SHOW yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the WORD of TRUTH. (2 Timothy 2:15; John 8:32,36).
4. It is your personal responsibility with the help of the Holy Spirit to think:
...Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report. If there be any virtue and if there be any praise, THINK on these things.
Those things, which you have both learned, received, heard and seen in me, do. And the GOD of PEACE shall be with you. Halleluyah! (Philippians 4:8,9; Psalm 19:7-14; Psalm 1:1-3).
Now, note and know that the things that are freely given by God to us in Christ in this World are first SPIRITUAL realities (in natures and forms) in the spiritual World that needs both our spiritual STATUS (position) of the Mind of Christ in this World and our spiritual STATE (condition) of the Mind of Christ in this World to become PHYSICAL realities (in natures and forms) for us and through us for others in this PHYSICAL World. True! Halleluyah! (Ephesians 1:3,4; 2 Peter 1:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
This is why Jesus Christ taught us to PRAY to our heavenly Father, your Kingdom come, your Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven (for us and others as the case may be). Halleluyah! (Matthew 6:10; 1 John 5:14,15).
This is why we need FAITH to connect with the spiritual world to bring to the physical world that which we have been freely given by God to us in Christ in this World. True! (Hebrews 11:1-6; Hebrews 10:38,39; Romans 4).
As I did inform you previously, the STATUS (position) of the Mind of Christ was given by God to each of us at our genuine moment of salvation by the Holy Spirit of Christ given to us at that same moment. But the spiritual STATE (condition) of the Mind of Christ is not given to us at our genuine moment of salvation, but gradually develop within us by the Holy Spirit of Christ given to us at our genuine moment of salvation. True! Halleluyah! (John 16:13-15; 1 John 2:27).
This design of God, allow each of us in Christ by the help of the Holy Spirit within us to willingly and obediently determine our individual spiritual STATE (condition) of the Mind of Christ in this World by looking unto Jesus Christ and following His foot steps in all things in this World. True! (Hebrews 12:1-3; Galatians 3:20; 1 John 4:17).
Therefore, the Bible reveals two spiritual STATES (conditions) of MIND in Christ, in which any of us can be in Christ in this World par time thus, depending on how we have allowed the Holy Spirit of Christ in us to transform our THINKING with the Word of God and unpleasant circumstances:
For they that are AFTER the FLESH do mind the things of the flesh. But they that are AFTER the SPIRIT the things of the Spirit.
For to be CARNALLY MINDED is death. But to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God. For it is NOT subject to the LAW of GOD, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are NOT in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the SPIRIT of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man have NOT the SPIRIT of CHRIST, he is none of His. (Romans 8:5-9; Galatians 6:7-9).
This means you can be in
1. A CARNALLY MINDED spiritual STATE (condition) of MIND in Christ in this World.
A mind that is inclined and aligned to the words, ways and wills of the World. That is the traditions, cultures and principles of the World. (James 4:2-5; 1 John 2:15-17).
This is the spiritual STATE (condition) of many genuine children of God in Christ in the World today.
2. A SPIRITUALLY MINDED spiritual STATE (condition) of MIND in Christ in this World.
A mind that is inclined and aligned to the Words, Ways and Wills of the World. That is the traditions, cultures and principles of the Kingdom of God. (Philippians 4:8,9; Romans 12:1,2; Colossians 2:8-10).
This is the spiritual STATE (condition) of few genuine children of God in Christ in the World today.
Understanding the importance of a spiritually minded STATE (condition) of MIND in Christ in this World, Apostle Paul counselled thus:
If you then be RISEN with Christ, SEEK those things which are ABOVE, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
SET your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For you are DEAD and your life is HID with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. Halleluyah! (Colossians 3:1-4; Matthew 6:24-34; Revelation 5:9-12; Matthew 6:10).
The spiritual STATE (condition) of your MIND in Christ in this World par time matters and is very important to your spiritual and physical well-being in Christ in this World. True!
This is because the spiritual STATUS (position) of the MIND of Christ within you in this World by the Spirit of Christ within you, can only relate and release par time the knowledge, understanding, wisdom, character, power, riches, glory, blessing etc according to the STATE (condition) of the MIND of Christ within in this World par time . True!
1. This is because you serve the LAWS of GOD with your MIND, when you consciously THINK in terms of the Word of God in Christ in this World. true!
The Bible reveals thus:
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the MIND I myself SERVE the law of God. But with the flesh the law of sin. (Romans 7:25).
2. This because you become prosperous in both your spiritual and physical health and wealth as the MIND of your soul prospers in the Word of God in Christ in this World. true!
Bible says thus:
Beloved, I wish above ALL things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2; Luke 18:18-30).
Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled that thus:
Please read: Philippians 4:8,9.
The spiritual STATUS (position) and STATE (condition) of your MIND in Christ in this World matters to God as well as to Satan:
1. This is why God gave you the Holy Spirit of Christ to teach, led and help you in Christ in this World.
Please read: John 16:13-15; 1 John 2:27; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18.
2. That is why Satan and his demons work round the clock each day to get your mind worried, confused, deceived, doubted, enticed, depressed, etc
Please read: 1 Peter 5:8-10; James 1:12-15.
Satan knows that God has spiritually designed that the spiritual STATUS (position) and spiritual STATE (condition) of the human MIND should determine human VICTORY and SUCCESS on Earth. Therefore, he works tirelessly to stop them from becoming born-again through Christ and wrongly condition the mind of them (humans), especially genuine children of God in Christ in this World. (Proverbs 23:7).
This is so because God has designed us to SPEAK and DO what we have accepted and stored within our MIND and HEART and consciously and consistently THINKING over time.
Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;).
Casting DOWN imaginations and every high thing that EXALTS itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity EVERY thought to the obedience of Christ.
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
The Word REPENT actually means CHANGE your MIND or THINKING. So, when John the Baptist and Jesus Christ used the Word REPENT, they actually means CHANGE your MIND or THINKING from Worldly thinking to Word of God thinking and this is the focus point of true Christian living in Christ in this World. (Matthew 3:1-3; Matthew 4:17).
Take note, take heed!
If Satan defeats you in your MIND, he has defeated you as well in your MIGHT in Christ in this World. True! Don't permit him. (Proverbs 24:10; Luke 18:1-8).
What is the true spiritual STATE (condition) of your MIND in Christ at this moment as regard the Word of God by the Spirit of God within you? (1 John 2:17).
Don't be deceived! That is the true spiritual condition of your life before God and the true spiritual state of your salt and light before man in the World. (Psalm 19:7-14; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3). True!
Take note, take heed!
You have the SOUND MIND of Christ. Use it to your advantage and to the advantage of others to the glory of God.
God bless you!

True! (Hebrews 12:1-3; Galatians 3:20; 1 John 4:17).
Therefore, the Bible reveals two spiritual STATES (conditions) of MIND in Christ, in which any of us can be in Christ in this World par time thus, depending on how we have allowed the Holy Spirit of Christ in us to transform our THINKING with the Word of God and unpleasant circumstances:
For they that are AFTER the FLESH do mind the things of the flesh. But they that are AFTER the SPIRIT the things of the Spirit.
For to be CARNALLY MINDED is death. But to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God. For it is NOT subject to the LAW of GOD, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are NOT in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the SPIRIT of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man have NOT the SPIRIT of CHRIST, he is none of His. (Romans 8:5-9; Galatians 6:7-9).
This means you can be in
1. A CARNALLY MINDED spiritual STATE (condition) of MIND in Christ in this World.
A mind that is inclined and aligned to the words, ways and wills of the World. That is the traditions, cultures and principles of the World. (James 4:2-5; 1 John 2:15-17).
This is the spiritual STATE (condition) of many genuine children of God in Christ in the World today.
2. A SPIRITUALLY MINDED spiritual STATE (condition) of MIND in Christ in this World.
A mind that is inclined and aligned to the Words, Ways and Wills of the World. That is the traditions, cultures and principles of the Kingdom of God. (Philippians 4:8,9; Romans 12:1,2; Colossians 2:8-10).
This is the spiritual STATE (condition) of few genuine children of God in Christ in the World today.
Understanding the importance of a spiritually minded STATE (condition) of MIND in Christ in this World, Apostle Paul counselled thus:
If you then be RISEN with Christ, SEEK those things which are ABOVE, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
SET your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For you are DEAD and your life is HID with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. Halleluyah! (Colossians 3:1-4; Matthew 6:24-34; Revelation 5:9-12; Matthew 6:10).
The spiritual STATE (condition) of your MIND in Christ in this World par time matters and is very important to your spiritual and physical well-being in Christ in this World. True!
This is because the spiritual STATUS (position) of the MIND of Christ within you in this World by the Spirit of Christ within you, can only relate and release par time the knowledge, understanding, wisdom, character, power, riches, glory, blessing etc according to the STATE (condition) of the MIND of Christ within in this World par time . True!
1. This is because you serve the LAWS of GOD with your MIND, when you consciously THINK in terms of the Word of God in Christ in this World. true!
The Bible reveals thus:
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the MIND I myself SERVE the law of God. But with the flesh the law of sin. (Romans 7:25).
2. This because you become prosperous in both your spiritual and physical health and wealth as the MIND of your soul prospers in the Word of God in Christ in this World. true!
Bible says thus:
Beloved, I wish above ALL things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2; Luke 18:18-30).
Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled that thus:
Please read: Philippians 4:8,9.
The spiritual STATUS (position) and STATE (condition) of your MIND in Christ in this World matters to God as well as to Satan:
1. This is why God gave you the Holy Spirit of Christ to teach, led and help you in Christ in this World.
Please read: John 16:13-15; 1 John 2:27; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18.
2. That is why Satan and his demons work round the clock each day to get your mind worried, confused, deceived, doubted, enticed, depressed, etc
Please read: 1 Peter 5:8-10; James 1:12-15.
Satan knows that God has spiritually designed that the spiritual STATUS (position) and spiritual STATE (condition) of the human MIND should determine human VICTORY and SUCCESS on Earth. Therefore, he works tirelessly to stop them from becoming born-again through Christ and wrongly condition the mind of them (humans), especially genuine children of God in Christ in this World. (Proverbs 23:7).
This is so because God has designed us to SPEAK and DO what we have accepted and stored within our MIND and HEART and consciously and consistently THINKING over time.
Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;).
Casting DOWN imaginations and every high thing that EXALTS itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity EVERY thought to the obedience of Christ.
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
The Word REPENT actually means CHANGE your MIND or THINKING. So, when John the Baptist and Jesus Christ used the Word REPENT, they actually means CHANGE your MIND or THINKING from Worldly thinking to Word of God thinking and this is the focus point of true Christian living in Christ in this World. (Matthew 3:1-3; Matthew 4:17).
Take note, take heed!
If Satan defeats you in your MIND, he has defeated you as well in your MIGHT in Christ in this World. True! Don't permit him. (Proverbs 24:10; Luke 18:1-8).
What is the true spiritual STATE (condition) of your MIND in Christ at this moment as regard the Word of God by the Spirit of God within you? (1 John 2:17).
Don't be deceived! That is the true spiritual condition of your life before God and the true spiritual state of your salt and light before man in the World. (Psalm 19:7-14; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3). True!
Take note, take heed!
You have the SOUND MIND of Christ. Use it to your advantage and to the advantage of others to the glory of God.
God bless you!

THAT THE PURPOSE OF GOD ACCORDING TO ELECTION MIGHT STAND FOR YOU IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
THAT THE PURPOSE OF GOD ACCORDING TO ELECTION MIGHT STAND FOR YOU IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
The Bible reveals that:
...But when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac.
(For the children being NOT yet born, NEITHER having done any good or evil, that the PURPOSE of GOD according to ELECTION might STAND, not of works, but of Him that calls).
It was said unto her, the elder shall SERVE the younger.
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
For He said to Moses, I will HAVE mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will HAVE compassion on whom I will have compassion.
So then it is NOT of him (or her) that wills, nor of him (or her) that runs, but of GOD that shows MERCY. (Romans 9:10-16).
Do you get it?
This means that while we are all CHILDREN of GOD in Christ by the Holy Spirit of Christ given to us, when we individually and genuinely believe with our hearts and confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, repenting and forsaking of sins in this World,
our individual WALK (relationship) with GOD and WORK (responsibility) with GOD in Christ in this World is specifically and uniquely different from one another according to the LEVEL of MERCY and COMPASSION, God has chosen by His PURPOSE and ELECTION to show to us individually in Christ in this World. True!
Therefore, that the PURPOSE OF GOD according to ELECTION might STAND for you in Christ in this World, you need to take note and know that:
1. You and I are SAVED by GOD in Christ in this World because of our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with HIM (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.
For by GRACE are you SAVED through faith. And that NOT of yourselves. It is the gift of God.
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are His workmanship, CREATED in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God has before ORDAINED that we should WALK in them. (Ephesians 2:4,8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; John 17:1-5; Matthew 5:13-16).
2. You and I are BLESSED by GOD in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with HIM (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED US with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places IN Christ.
According as He has CHOSEN US in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.
Having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of Children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has MADE US accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:3-7; Philippians 4:13;19; 2 Corinthians 8:9; 2 Corinthians 9:8).
3. You and I are LED and PRAYED FOR by GOD (the Holy Spirit) in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with Him (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
And if children, then heirs. Heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. If so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God. (Romans 8:14-19; Luke 4:1-21; Matthew 16:24-26).
Also,
Likewise the SPIRIT also HELPS our infirmities: for we KNOW NOT what we should PRAY for as we ought. But the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groans which cannot be uttered.
And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26,27).
4. YOU AND I'S CIRCUMSTANCES and CHANCES in this World are managed for our GOOD by GOD in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with Him (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
And we know that ALL things WORK together for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the called according to His PURPOSE.
For whom He did FOREKNOW, He also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also CALLED. And whom He called, them He also JUSTIFIED. And whom He justified, them he also GLORIFIED. (Romans 8:28-30; Philippians 2:13; Ecclesiastes 9:11; Thessalonians 5:18).
5. You and I will be JUDGED by GOD in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with Him (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God) in Christ, which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
Now he that plants and he that waters are one. And EVERY man (and woman) shall RECEIVE his (or her) own REWARD according to his (or her) OWN labour.
For we are labourers together with God. You are God's husbandry, you are God's building.
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation and another builds thereon. But let every man (and woman) TAKE HEED how he (or she) builds thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST.
Now if any man (or woman) build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble.
Every man's (and woman's) WORK shall be made manifest. For the day shall declare it, because it shall be REVEALED by FIRE. And the fire shall try every man's (and woman's) work of what sort it is.
If any man's (or woman's) WORK abide which he (or she) has built thereupon, he (or she) shall RECEIVE a REWARD.
If any man's (or woman's) WORK shall be burned, he (or she) shall SUFFER loss. But he himself (or she herself) shall be SAVED; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Romans 14:10-13).
Therefore, Bible counsels you and I thus:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us LAY ASIDE every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us. And let us RUN with patience the RACE that is SET before us.
LOOKING unto JESUS the author and finisher of our faith. Who for the JOY (reward) that was SET before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. (Hebrews 12:1-3).
So, note and know that:
Your SUFFERING (circumstances and chances) and GLORYING (celebrations) in Christ in this World will be specifically and uniquely different from other CHILDREN of GOD'S own, so don't compare or contrast yourself with anyone, within or outside Christ. Don't! Be focused and mind your business!
Your SUFFERING (circumstances and chances) and GLORYING (celebrations) in Christ in this World will be specifically and uniquely different from other CHILDREN of GOD'S own, so don't compare or contrast yourself with anyone, within or outside Christ. Don't! Be focused and mind your business!
This is why Apostle Paul said that:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended (reached my divine goal). But this ONE thing I do, FORGETTING those things which are behind and REACHING forth unto those things which are before.
I PRESS toward the MARK for the PRIZE of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13,14).
Are you doing the same?
This is why the Bible counsels thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you PRESENT your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be NOT conformed to this world. But be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect WILL of GOD (for you par time par situation in Christ in this World).
(Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 2:15-17; Jeremiah 1:5-10; Galatians 1:13-16; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Take note, take heed! (Colossians 4:17).
God bless you.

THE GOD OF ALL GRACE SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS IN CHRIST JESUS IN THIS WORLD!
THE GOD OF ALL GRACE SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS IN CHRIST JESUS IN THIS WORLD!
The Bible reveals that GOD is a GOD of ALL GRACE thus:
But the GOD of ALL GRACE, who has CALLED US unto His eternal GLORY by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. (1 Peter 5:10).
The GOD we serve in Christ is the GOD of ALL GRACE.
GRACE is the spiritual SUPPLY of the HOLY SPIRIT par time par situation.
This can be in terms of righteousness, power, riches, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, strength, idea, dream, vision, glory, Joy, leading, faith, healing, virtue, blessing, etc.
This is why Apostle Paul says that:
For I know that this shall TURN to my salvation through your PRAYER and the SUPPLY of the SPIRIT of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:19).
This is why JESUS CHRIST:
... Says unto you and I, take NO thought for your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink. Nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is NOT the LIFE more than MEAT (food) and the BODY than RAIMENT (clothing)?
Behold the fowls of the air. For they sow NOT, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father FEEDS them. Are you NOT much BETTER than they?
Which of you by taking thought CAN add one cubit unto his stature?
And WHY take you thought for raiment (clothing)? Consider the lilies of the field, HOW they grow. They toil NOT, neither do they spin.
And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was NOT arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if GOD so clothe the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He NOT much more clothe you, O ye of LITTLE FAITH?
Therefore take NO thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?
For AFTER all these things DO the Gentiles GENTILES (unbelievers) seek. For your heavenly Father KNOWS that you have NEED of all these things.
But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD (the Holy Spirit) and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and ALL these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore NO thought for the morrow. For the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:24-34).
Please, take note of the second to the last paragraph of the scriptural passage above.
This is why JESUS CHRIST teaches that we pray thus:
After this manner therefore PRAY you. Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your KINGDOM (Holy Spirit) come. Your WILL be DONE in Earth, as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).
Do you get it?
Therefore, we are requested thus:
Let us therefore COME boldly unto the THRONE of GRACE, that we may OBTAIN mercy and find GRACE (spiritual supply of the Holy Spirit in Christ) to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16).
This is because JESUS CHRIST has already sacrificially and victoriously obtain ALL that you and I need to live and fulfill our individual DIVINE DESTINY (Life Purpose) of GOD in Him in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED US with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ.
According as He has CHOSEN US in Him (Christ) before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.
Having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
To the praise of the GLORY of His GRACE, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES of His GRACE. (Ephesians 1:3-7; 2 Peter 1:3,4; Ephesians 2:10; Romans 8:28-30).
Therefore, the Bible assures us that:
...GOD is ABLE to make ALL GRACE (spiritual supply of the Holy Spirit in Christ) abound toward you. That you, always having ALL sufficiency in ALL things, may abound to every GOOD WORK. (2 Corinthians 9:8).
This why Apostle Paul confidently declare thus:
...My God shall supply ALL your NEED according to His RICHES in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19).
Do you get it?
Now, note and know this, that it is the SPIRITUAL SUPPLY of the HOLY SPIRIT to your life and through your life that is truly GRACE and becomes physical manifestations or provisions that all can see in your life and through your life in Christ in this World. True! (Pls read and compare these scriptures: Romans 4:16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).
Yes, it is, because the Bible reveals thus:
For you know the GRACE of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, that, though He was RICH, yet for YOUR sakes He became POOR, that you THROUGH His poverty might be rich. Halleluyah! (2 Corinthians 8:9)
However, each of us RICHNESS in Christ in this World is according to how GOD has ordained His GRACE for each of us in Christ Jesus in this World. True! (Romans 12:3-21; Ephesians 1:3-7).
God bless you.

... Says unto you and I, take NO thought for your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink. Nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is NOT the LIFE more than MEAT (food) and the BODY than RAIMENT (clothing)?
Behold the fowls of the air. For they sow NOT, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father FEEDS them. Are you NOT much BETTER than they?
Which of you by taking thought CAN add one cubit unto his stature?
And WHY take you thought for raiment (clothing)? Consider the lilies of the field, HOW they grow. They toil NOT, neither do they spin.
And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was NOT arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if GOD so clothe the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He NOT much more clothe you, O ye of LITTLE FAITH?
Therefore take NO thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?
For AFTER all these things DO the Gentiles GENTILES (unbelievers) seek. For your heavenly Father KNOWS that you have NEED of all these things.
But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD (the Holy Spirit) and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and ALL these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore NO thought for the morrow. For the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:24-34).
Please, take note of the second to the last paragraph of the scriptural passage above.
This is why JESUS CHRIST teaches that we pray thus:
After this manner therefore PRAY you. Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your KINGDOM (Holy Spirit) come. Your WILL be DONE in Earth, as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).
Do you get it?
Therefore, we are requested thus:
Let us therefore COME boldly unto the THRONE of GRACE, that we may OBTAIN mercy and find GRACE (spiritual supply of the Holy Spirit in Christ) to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16).
This is because JESUS CHRIST has already sacrificially and victoriously obtain ALL that you and I need to live and fulfill our individual DIVINE DESTINY (Life Purpose) of GOD in Him in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED US with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ.
According as He has CHOSEN US in Him (Christ) before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.
Having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
To the praise of the GLORY of His GRACE, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES of His GRACE. (Ephesians 1:3-7; 2 Peter 1:3,4; Ephesians 2:10; Romans 8:28-30).
Therefore, the Bible assures us that:
...GOD is ABLE to make ALL GRACE (spiritual supply of the Holy Spirit in Christ) abound toward you. That you, always having ALL sufficiency in ALL things, may abound to every GOOD WORK. (2 Corinthians 9:8).
This why Apostle Paul confidently declare thus:
...My God shall supply ALL your NEED according to His RICHES in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19).
Do you get it?
Now, note and know this, that it is the SPIRITUAL SUPPLY of the HOLY SPIRIT to your life and through your life that is truly GRACE and becomes physical manifestations or provisions that all can see in your life and through your life in Christ in this World. True! (Pls read and compare these scriptures: Romans 4:16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).
Yes, it is, because the Bible reveals thus:
For you know the GRACE of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, that, though He was RICH, yet for YOUR sakes He became POOR, that you THROUGH His poverty might be rich. Halleluyah! (2 Corinthians 8:9)
However, each of us RICHNESS in Christ in this World is according to how GOD has ordained His GRACE for each of us in Christ Jesus in this World. True! (Romans 12:3-21; Ephesians 1:3-7).
God bless you.

LABOUR NOT TO BE RICH, BUT TO BE FAVOURED BY GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
LABOUR NOT TO BE RICH, BUT TO BE FAVOURED BY GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
The Bible counsels that you and I, who are genuinely in Christ in this World should not:
LABOUR not to be RICH. Cease from thine own wisdom. (Proverbs 23:4).
Are you surprised? Don't be!
Jesus Christ explains it this way:
No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other. Or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You CANNOT serve GOD and MAMMON (Riches).
Therefore I say unto you, Take NO thought for your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink. Nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is NOT the LIFE more than MEAT (food) and the BODY than RAIMENT (clothing)?
Behold the fowls of the air. For they sow NOT, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father FEEDS them. Are you NOT much BETTER than they?
Which of you by taking thought CAN add one cubit unto his stature?
And WHY take you thought for raiment (clothing)? Consider the lilies of the field, HOW they grow. They toil NOT, neither do they spin.
And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was NOT arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if GOD so clothe the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He NOT much more clothe you, O ye of LITTLE FAITH?
Therefore take NO thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?
For AFTER all these things DO the Gentiles GENTILES (unbelievers) seek. For your heavenly Father KNOWS that you have NEED of all these things.
But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and ALL these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore NO thought for the morrow. For the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:24-34).
Can you re-read the above scriptural passage again please?
Apostle Paul also explains further this way:
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we BROUGHT nothing into this world and it is certain we can CARRY nothing out.
And HAVING food and raiment let us be therewith CONTENT.
But they that will be RICH fall INTO temptation and a snare and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which DROWN men in destruction and perdition.
For the LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of all EVIL. Which while some COVETED after, they have erred FROM the FAITH and pierced themselves through with MANY sorrows.
But you, O man of God, FLEE these things and FOLLOW after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the GOOD fight of faith, LAY hold on ETERNAL LIFE, whereunto you art also CALLED, and has professed a GOOD profession before many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:6-12).
You LABOUR to be RICH, when you consciously WORK to PLEASE yourself and others in this World.
You LABOUR to be FAVOURED by GOD in Christ, when you consciously WORK to PLEASE God in Christ in this World.
As genuine CHILDREN of GOD in Christ, that is, God's peculiar people in this World, we are called out from the World to the Kingdom of God within the World to show forth the praise of Him (God), who has called us from darkness to His marvelous light in Christ. (1 Peter 2:9,10).
Therefore, we are expected to LABOUR to be FAVOURED by GOD by working to please GOD and not to LABOUR to be RICH by working to please humans. True!
LABOURING to please humans (that is, labouring to be rich) by the CHILDREN of GOD in Christ in the World is what is making many COMPROMISE their WALK (relationship) and WORK (responsibility) with GOD and experiencing several forms of SORROW in Christ in this World, as revealed by Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 6:6-12. True!
Jesus Christ, our Master says that:
I receive NOT honour from men.
But I know you, that you have NOT the LOVE of GOD in you.
I am come in my Father's name and you receive me not. If another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
HOW can you BELIEVE and RECEIVE honour one of another and SEEK not the honour that comes from God ONLY? (John 5:41-44).
While Jesus Christ reveals that it is the lack of genuine LOVE for GOD that makes the SAINTS of GOD seeks HONOUR (riches) from humans, Apostle Paul reveals where their LOVE is...the LOVE for MONEY (riches). (John 5:41-44; 1 Timothy 6:6-12).
Remember, what Jesus says:
No man can serve TWO masters. For either he will HATE the one and LOVE the other. Or else he will HOLD TO the one and DESPISE the other. You CANNOT serve GOD and MAMMON (Riches). (Matthew 6:24).
This means that at this moment, you are either genuinely LOVING GOD than RICHES or genuinely LOVING RICHES than GOD. You are consciously or unconsciously currently living for one of them.
But, remember as a CHILD of GOD in Christ in this World, you are commanded thus:
And one of the scribes came and having heard them reasoning together and perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, Which is the FIRST commandment of ALL?
And Jesus answered him, The FIRST of ALL the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord.
And you shalt LOVE the Lord your GOD with ALL your HEART and with ALL your SOUL and with ALL your MIND and with ALL your STRENGTH. This is the first commandment.
And the second is like, namely this, you shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mark 12:28-31).
So, the FIRST commandment you and I are excepted to keep as genuine and peculiar PEOPLE of GOD in Christ in this World, is the commandment of complete LOVE for GOD in Christ in this World, before the love for ourselves and others. Take note, take heed!
This complete LOVE for GOD includes loving Him with the whole of our heart, soul, mind and strength (body). This including both:
1. Your WALK (relationship) with GOD and
2. Your WORK (responsibility) with GOD.
Your responsibility with GOD in Christ in this World is your specific and unique GOOD WORK (Life Purpose), God has originally ordained for you in Christ in this World to do with Him in this World to better the lives of humanity, spiritually and physically to His glory. (Ephesians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Matthew 5:13-16).
The Bible calls it, LABOUR of LOVE.
When you are consciously and sacrificially discovering, developing in and delivering (fulfilling) your LABOUR of LOVE. That is, your specific and unique GOOD WORK (Life Purpose), God has originally ordained for you in Christ in this World to do with Him in this World to better the lives of humanity, spiritually and physically to His glory, you are LABOURING for God's FAVOUR. True!
Therefore, the Bible encourages us thus:
For GOD is NOT unrighteous to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR of LOVE, which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints and do minister. (Hebrews 6:10).
Furthermore, the Bible encourages you and I thus:
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the WORK of the LORD, forasmuch as you know that your LABOUR is NOT in vain IN the LORD. (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Please take note of this words: in the Lord. That means, NOT all LABOUR on Earth are IN the LORD.
However, the Bible reveals that:
In ALL LABOUR there is PROFIT. But the talk of the lips tends only to penury. (Proverbs 14:23).
That means, even unbelievers and sinners will get returns from their investment by God's design of the Earth. But you are not to mind and covet the PROFIT (riches) from their LABOUR, because they are vanity before GOD and if they do not repent before they die or rapture meets them unsaved shall perish forever without eternal life and reward from God, but you will be with God forever and be eternally reward apart from being blessed on earth. True! (Please, carefully read Psalm 73; Luke 18:18-30; Hebrews 12:1-3; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
Always remember that if you consciously and sacrificially LABOUR to discover, develop in and deliver your ordained LIFE PURPOSE in Christ in this World because you have genuine LOVE for GOD and COMPASSION for HUMANITY, all things will starts working together for your GOOD in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 8:28-30; Jude 1:22).
Many genuine Christians thinks that GOD works ALL things together for their Good according to their own self-determined life purpose, not knowing it is according to His own (God) purpose for them in Christ in this World. True!
Seek and discover God's original purpose for you in Christ in this World. Develop in it and deliver (fulfill) it. It is your proof of your genuine LOVE for Him. It is your LABOUR of LOVE in Christ that qualifies and certify you for His (divine) FAVOUR in Christ in this World. True! (Ephesians 1:3,5; Ecclesiastes 9:11; Colossians 3:22-25; 4:1).
Don't be deceived, your PRAYERS are supposed to be brining down the WILL of GOD for you in Christ from Heaven to Earth for you par time and season of your LIFE PURPOSE journey in Christ in this World, not your own Will. Take note, take heed. This where your FAVOUR from GOD is in Christ for you in this World. True! (Matthew 6:10; James4:2-4; 1 John 5:14,15; Colossians 3:1-4; Ephesians 1:3,4).
Read carefully and prayerfully 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.
God bless you.

THE SECRET AND SUCCESS IN BELIEVING WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND PERSUASIVELY IN GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
THE SECRET AND SUCCESS IN BELIEVING WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND PERSUASIVELY IN GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
I observe sadly that we are living in an era where wholeheartedly and persuasively BELIEVING in GOD is eroding very fast and in many cases has unconsciously and unknowingly eroded completely from many CHILDREN of GOD thinking, speaking and living in Christ in this World.
But, I am sent today to remind you and to inform you that ONLY in wholeheartedly and persuasively BELIEVING in GOD can ALL things become possible for you in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
JESUS said unto him, If you can BELIEVE, all things are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVES. (Mark 9:23).
Things are ONLY possible in Christ to them that BELIEVE. True!
Believe in what?
Not in the PRINCIPLES and PRACTICES of the nations of the World, but in the principles and practices of the Kingdom of GOD. That is why, Apostle Paul says that:
BEWARE lest any man SPOIL you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments (principles and practices) of the World and NOT after CHRIST.
For in Him (Christ) dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
And YOU are COMPLETE in Him, which is the Head of ALL principalities and power. Halleluyah! (Colossians 2:8-10; 1 Corinthians 2).
Why must you wholeheartedly and persuasively BELIEVE in GOD?
This is because the Bible reveals that:
But let him ASK in FAITH (wholeheartedly and persuasively BELIEVE in GOD), not with WAVERING. For he that WAVERS is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For let NOT that man think that he shall RECEIVE any thing of the Lord.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:6-8).
Why? Because the Bible reveals that:
But WITHOUT faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please Him. For he that comes to GOD must BELIEVE (wholeheartedly and persuasively) that He is and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6).
Abraham is the Father of faith to them who will have Faith in God in Christ in this World and the Bible reveals about him thus:
Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by GRACE. To the end the PROMISE might be sure to ALL the seed. Not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of ABRAHAM. Who is the father of us all,
(As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before him whom he BELIEVED, even GOD, who quickens the dead and calls those things which be not as though they were.
Who AGAINST hope BELIEVED in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, so shall your seed be.
And being NOT weak in FAITH, he considered NOT his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
He staggered NOT at the PROMISE of GOD through UNBELIEF. But was STRONG in FAITH, giving glory to God;
And being fully (wholeheartedly) PERSUADED that, what He had PROMISED, He was able also to PERFORM.
And therefore it was IMPUTED to him for righteousness.
Now it was NOT written for his sake ALONE that it was imputed to him;
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we BELIEVE on Him (GOD) that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.
Who was delivered for our offences and was raised again for our justification. Halleluyah! (Romans 4: 16-25; Hebrews 6:13-20; 1 Thessalonians 1:24).
Grace of GOD in Christ from the above scriptural passage will ONLY be supply and manifested in your life and through your life by wholehearted and persuasive FAITH in GOD. That is, having a wholehearted and persuasive BELIEF or TRUST in GOD, no matter what. True!
Let nobody deceive you friend, you cannot really and truly get your NEEDS met by GOD in Christ in this World by thinking, speaking and living half-hearted or up-and-down Christian life of FAITH in this World. True! (Matthew 6:24-34).
Therefore, take note and take heed!
Trust on! Don't give up. No, don't give up and God will surely and faithfully come through for you in due time and season in Jesus name. (1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
Always remember that the divine condition and requirement for GRACE to be supply unto you in this New Tesatament (Covenant) era in Christ is that:
...The JUST (the justified by God in Christ in this World) shall LIVE by FAITH. But if any man (or woman) DRAW BACK, My Soul shall have no pleaure in him (or her).
But we are NOT of them who DRAW BACK unto perdition. But of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10:38,39; Romans 4:16; Hebrews 11).
Welcome to a week of possibilities by wholeheartedly and persuasively FAITH in GOD.
God bless you.

Grace of GOD in Christ from the above scriptural passage will ONLY be supply and manifested in your life and through your life by wholehearted and persuasive FAITH in GOD. That is, having a wholehearted and persuasive BELIEF or TRUST in GOD, no matter what. True!
Let nobody deceive you friend, you cannot really and truly get your NEEDS met by GOD in Christ in this World by thinking, speaking and living half-hearted or up-and-down Christian life of FAITH in this World. True! (Matthew 6:24-34).
Therefore, take note and take heed!
Trust on! Don't give up. No, don't give up and God will surely and faithfully come through for you in due time and season in Jesus name. (1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
Always remember that the divine condition and requirement for GRACE to be supply unto you in this New Tesatament (Covenant) era in Christ is that:
...The JUST (the justified by God in Christ in this World) shall LIVE by FAITH. But if any man (or woman) DRAW BACK, My Soul shall have no pleaure in him (or her).
But we are NOT of them who DRAW BACK unto perdition. But of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10:38,39; Romans 4:16; Hebrews 11).
Welcome to a week of possibilities by wholeheartedly and persuasively FAITH in GOD.
God bless you.

BEING ALIVE IS A GIFT FROM GOD YOU NEED TO VALUE AND VALIDATE EACH DAY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
BEING ALIVE IS A GIFT FROM GOD YOU NEED TO VALUE AND VALIDATE EACH DAY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
The Bible says that:
For to him (or her) that is JOINED to ALL the LIVING there is HOPE. For a LIVING DOG is better than a DEAD LION.
For the living know that they shall die. But the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward. For the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love and their hatred and their envy, is now perished. Neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 9:4-6).
Do you get it?
The Bible reveals that:
For He says to Moses, I will have MERCY on whom I will have mercy and I will have COMPASSION on whom I will have compassion.
So then it is NOT of him (or her) that WILLS, nor of him (or her) that RUNS, but of GOD that SHOWS mercy. (Romans 9:15,16)
Do you read that? Hmm!
The Bible further says that:
It is of the LORD'S MERCIES that we are NOT consumed, because His COMPASSIONS fail not.
They are NEW every MORNING. Great is your faithfulness.
The LORD is my portion, says my soul. Therefore will I HOPE in HIM.
The LORD is GOOD unto them that WAIT for HIM, to the soul that SEEKS Him.
It is GOOD that a man (or woman) should both HOPE and quietly WAIT for the SALVATION (freedom and favour) of the LORD. (Lamentation 3:22-26).
My friend, your being ALIVE is not about your smartness and skills. Is about the MERCY and COMPASSION of GOD in Christ that is RENEWED every morning toward YOU. So be thankful and grateful! Take note, take heed!
I was shocked last night to hear of a young lady in Nigeria that died less than three months after her wedding and another young lady in Ghana also died just from stomach pain. Gone forever just like that!
My friend, I repeat, your being ALIVE is not about your smartness and skills. It is about the MERCY and COMPASSION of GOD in Christ that is RENEWED every morning toward YOU. So be thankful and grateful! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, I am sent today to remind and inform you that:
1. Your being ALIVE is a GIFT from GOD in Christ, you need to VALUE each day by managing your time (every second, minute and hour of your day) properly by the help of the Holy Spirit of God within you. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).
Moses prayed to God thus and this should also be your prayer each day:
...TEACH us to number our days, that we may APPLY our hearts unto WISDOM. (Psalm 90:12).
2. Your being ALIVE is a GIFT from GOD in Christ, you need to VALIDATE each day by living out your DIVINE DESTINY ( Life Purpose of God for you in Christ on Earth each second, minute and hour of your day) by the help of the Holy Spirit of God within you. (John 4; John 9:4,5; John 17:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; Ephesians 2:10; Hebrews 12:1-3; Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
You are designed, created and saved in Christ in this World for a specific and unique LIFE PURPOSE (good work) to fulfill (do) for God in Christ in this World, which you have a responsibility to discover (find-out), develop in and deliver (fulfill) by the help of the Holy Spirit of God within you, to the benefit of humanity for the glory of God in this World. True! (Ephesians 2:5-10;1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 1:3,4; Matthew 5:13-16).
Always, try to live out the BEST of your day by the help of the Holy Spirit of God within you. He is there to TEACH, LEAD and HELP you to pray and live RIGHT and PURPOSEFULLY (amongst others) according to the perfect WILL of GOD for YOU in Christ in this World. (Romans 8:14-19, 26-30; John 16:13-15; 1 John 2:27; Matthew 6:25,33,34).
Wise King Solomon once said that:
Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might. For there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go. (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
Take note, take heed!
Do have a REAWAKENED weekend!
God bless you.

FROM WILDERNESS (lest) TO WONDER (best)!
FROM WILDERNESS (lest) TO WONDER (best)!
The GOD that made the Children of Israel to wander in the wilderness for 40 years for a journey of 40 days, also can collapse your "40 years" of wandering on Earth to "40 days" of wonder (glory and greatness in Christ) on Earth. Yes, He can and will!
That which you have lose for "40 years", you will by His WISDOM and POWER in Christ achieve in "40 days" says the Spirit of God.
Did you say how? He knows how! So leave the how for Him. This is His message for you through me today.
Only Him knows how Heaven and Earth and all that are within them can be created within 6 days. Only Him knows! (Genesis 1-2).
Only Him knows how prisoner Joseph in the morning can become prime minister Joseph later in the day. Only Him knows! (Genesis 39-41).
Only Him knows how poverty stricken nation of Samaria can become prosperity stricken nation of Samaria in 24 hours. Only Him knows! (2 Kings 7-8).
And so on.
Time and season is in His hands. Don't be discourage for your time lose, but be focused and faithful to Him, who is in charge of time and season and have it in His control. Halleluyah!
Jesus Christ responding to His disciples question, when He is going to restore back the kingdom to Israel says that:
...It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own power. (Acts 1:7).
Do you get it?
Always remember,
He has made EVERY thing BEAUTIFUL in HIS TIME (not yours and mine). Also He has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 8:28-30).
Trust on! He is faithful who have called you and saved you and will also do it for you in due time. Halleluyah! (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
God bless you!

DRAW NEAR TO ME FIRST AND I WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU SAYS THE LORD!
DRAW NEAR TO ME FIRST AND I WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU SAYS THE LORD!
Are you feeling that GOD is FAR from you, maybe you have to thoughtfully and prayerfully check, if you are not the one who is first FAR from HIM.
The Bible counsels that you FIRST:
DRAW NEAR to God and He will DRAW NEAR to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. And purify your hearts, you double minded. (James 4:8).
You DRAW NEAR to GOD first, so that He can DRAW NEAR to you:
1. When you consciously and consistently THINK the WORD of GOD (in Christ) in holiness and in faith in this World.
(Romans 12:1,2; Philippians 4:8,9).
2. When you consciously and consistently SPEAK the WORD of GOD (in Christ) in holiness and in faith in this World. (Matthew 12:35-37; James 3).
3. When you consciously and consistently LIVE the WORD of GOD, WAY of GOD and WILL of GOD (in Christ) in holiness and in faith in this World. (Psalm 19:7-14; Joshua 1:8)
The Bible says that:
Who shall ASCEND into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall STAND in His holy place? He that has CLEAN hands and a PURE heart. Who has not LIFTED UP his soul unto vanity (ways and things of the World), nor SWORN deceitfully.
He shall RECEIVE the blessings from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. (Psalm 24:3-6; 1 John 2:15-17).
Are you among this generation that is genuinely SEEKING GOD (in Christ) in holiness and in faith in this World? Are you?
Do you not remember, the Bible counsels that:
...SEEK you FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness. And ALL these things (your basic needs) shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).
It is the ORDER of GOD that after your genuine salvation experience in Christ in this World that you FIRST consciously and consistently DRAW NEAR to Him and He will DRAW NEAR to you in return.
This eternal ORDER of GOD cannot be changed or wish to change. It is either you consciously and consistently DRAW NEAR to GOD or DRAW FAR from GOD in the way you think, speak and live in Christ in this World. True!
Always remember,
...The LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save. Neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
But YOUR INIQUITIES have SEPARATED between you and your God and YOUR SINS have hid His face from you, that He will not hear. (Isaiah 59:1,2).
Do you get it?
Therefore, He says that you should consciously and consistently SEPARATE from your SINS first and DRAW NEAR unto Him and you will be save and find rest, good success and satisfaction on Earth in Me. True! Halleluyah! (John 10:9,10; Matthew 11:28-30; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; James 4:5-10 Hebrews 12:1-3).
God bless you.

If you let the GRACE of GOD in CHRIST to CHANGE you (in-out), then I can assure you that your serving GOD and doing service for Him (GOD) daily and weekly will not be in vain in Christ in this World and in the World to come. True! (Romans 12:1,2; 1 Corinthians 15:58).
The opposite is also true!
This is because, the GRACE that does not inspires you to CHANGE to please GOD and serve Him in holiness, faith, contentment and boldness is not a real one. Yes, it is not a real one! (1 Timothy 6:6-12; 2 Timothy 1:5-7).
Take note, take heed!
God bless you.

YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN OR FORSAKEN BY THE LORD. TRUST ON!
YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN OR FORSAKEN BY THE LORD. TRUST ON!
Hear what He says to you:
But Zion (you) said, the LORD hath FORSAKEN me and my Lord has FORGOTTEN me.
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet will I NOT FORGET YOU.
Behold (see), I have GRAVEN YOU upon the palms of MY HAND. Your walls (being) are continually before Me. (Isaiah 49:14-16).
This is true and truth. Therefore know this, that the LORD (your God) will never FORGET YOU or FORSAKE YOU for any reason as long as you TRUST ON in Christ in this World. Yes, trust on! (Hebrews 11:6).
It is well with you! Yes, well with you!
Do have an assuring weekend that GOD is working out ALL things together for your GOOD, because you belong to Him in JESUS CHRIST. True! Halleluyah! (Romans 8:28-39).
God bless you.
