AS YOU ENTER AND JOURNEY THROUGH 2017, TAKE NOTE, TAKE HEED!

AS YOU ENTER AND JOURNEY THROUGH 2017, TAKE NOTE, TAKE HEED!

As  are about to enter and embark on the journey of 2017, remember there is only one spiritual DOOR of safety, success and satisfaction in God to enter and run the race of life of 2017 in this World and that is, JESUS CHRIST.

Jesus Christ counselled thus:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters NOT by the DOOR into the sheepfold, but climbs up some OTHER way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that ENTER in by the DOOR is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter OPENS; and the sheep hear his voice: and He CALLS His own sheep by name, and LEADS them out. And when He PUTS forth His own sheep, He GOES before them, and the sheep FOLLOW Him: for they KNOW His voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know Not the voice of strangers. 6. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the DOOR of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the DOOR: by Me if any man ENTER in, he shall be SAVED, and shall GO in and OUT, and FIND pasture. The thief comes not, but for to STEAL, and to KILL, and to DESTROY: I am come that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it MORE abundantly. (John 10:1-10; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 3:17).

Jesus Christ, who is your good Shepherd and the Spirit of God within you, will be calling out your name in 2017 with the mind to lead you right, safely and successfully in 2017. Don't be ignorant of His voice! Don't be deaf to His voice. Don't be disobedient to His leading. Don't!

This is because if you do, you will disadvantageously position your self for debt, delay, defeat, destruction and death in 2017. However, if you are sensitive enough to hear  His voice, leading and wisely follow them par time, you will advantageously position yourself safely and smartly to possess the good things God has ordained for you in 2017. You will not miss them. True!

Therefore, don't go spending your hard earned money, irreplaceable and precious time, talents and treasures with wrong people, in wrong places doing wrong practices, in this last day of 2016 and throughout 2017. Please, don't! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

For there are only two ways on the road of life in 2017.

1. The NARROW way, which the door of Jesus Christ leads you into and

2. The BROAD way, which other doors outside Jesus Christ leads you into.

Therefore, Jesus Christ revealed and counselled thus:

Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and BROAD is the way, that leads to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and NARROW is the way, which leads unto life, and FEW there be that FIND it. (Matthew 7:13,14).

Don't be among the many that will miss it in 2017, but among the few that will get it right. Don't be among the many that will not be blessed in 2017, but among the few that will. Don't be among the many that will not be chosen in 2017, but among the few chosen ones.

The Bible reveals thus:

For MANY are called, but FEW are chosen. (Matthew 22:14).

Why must you consciously enter through the door JESUS CHRIST in 2017 and race the race of life of 2017 on the narrow path and not the broad path in 2017?

It is because the thief, your archenemy the Devil and evil spirits (demons) and demonized human agents seek to devour you in 2017. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Be sober, be vigilant; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a roaring lion, WALKS about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: (1 Peter 5:8).

Do you get it?

Also, it is because the Devil will be all out against you in 2017:

1. To STEAL from you the good things God has packaged and given you in Christ in 2017.

2. To KILL in you the good things God has packaged and given you in Christ in 2017.

3. To DESTROY in you the good things God has packaged and given you in Christ in 2017.

Jesus Christ reveals thus:

The thief comes not, but for to STEAL, and to KILL, and to DESTROY: I am come that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it MORE abundantly. (John 10:10).

Therefore, in 2017, you must put on the whole ARMOUR of God to victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily make it through 2017. True!

Apostle Paul counselled thus:

Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of His might. PUT on the WHOLE armour of God, that you may be ABLE to STAND against the WILES of the devil. For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that you may be ABLE to withstand in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with TRUTH, and having on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of PEACE; Above all, taking the shield of FAITH, wherewith you shall be ABLE to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD of GOD:  Praying ALWAYS with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. (Ephesians 6:10-18; John 8:34; Hebrews 12:14; Hebrews 11; 1 Thessalonians 5:8; Luke 18:1-8; Ephesians 5:15-18).

You must steadfastly resist the Devil in FAITH and stand for what you know is biblically right and good in the sight of God, no matter what and who is involved. Yes, you must, if you victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily make through 2017.

And if you do, though you might suffer for a while, God promises to SETTLE you at last. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:  Whom RESIST steadfast in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 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 5:8-10).

Conclusively, only the wise and smart knows that JESUS CHRIST is the one and only WAY for them for TRUTH and LIFE in 2017.

Do you know this?

Jesus Christ revealed thus:

Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goes; and how can we know the way? Jesus said unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me. (John 14:5,6).

Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled 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 consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds. (Hebrews 12:1-3).

No doubt, God has set before you in 2017 "JOY" of different dimensions, which only if you look unto JESUS steadfastly and righteously, they will be yours miraculously and graciously. True!

Be spiritually WISE in 2017!

Be spiritually SMART in 2017!

Be spiritually SUCCESSFUL in 2017!

Now note, if you are following my series on KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU IN 2017! This will serve as part (4):

If it is the WILL of GOD, There will be SATANIC attack against it.

Welcome to 2017...your NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS.

God bless you.

KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU IN 2017 (3)!

KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU IN 2017 (3)!

If you recall, I said in my introduction of this series that unknown to many Christians, one critical essence of us being saved (born again or recreated) by God in Christ in this World is to DO the WILL of GOD in Christ for us, individually and collectively in this World. (Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12,13; John 4:34).

Furthermore, I also informed you in part (2) of the series that the first characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD in 2017 is that there will be a drive to SERVE God in it. That is, if you do not have the drive to SERVE God, then is not the WILL of GOD for you. True!

Today, I will be informing you of the second characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD for you in 2017.

The second characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD for you in 2017 is that:

There will be a drive to SERVICE to humanity in it.

Jesus Christ said thus:

I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the LIGHT of the WORLD. (John 9:4,5).

And the Bible reveals thus:

That is why Jesus Christ instructed thus:

You are the LIGHT of the WORLD. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your LIGHT so SHINE before men, that they may see your GOOD WORKS, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16).

Apostle Peter said it this way:

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should SHOW FORTH the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9,10).

Do you get it?

Now, know and note this that the WILL of GOD can only be fulfilled by conscious and consistent FAITH in God. True!

This is why the Bible reveals thus:

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 only FAITH that pleases God and He rewards. True! The Bible reveals thus:

But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6).

It is only FAITH that overcomes in Christ in this World. True! The Bible reveals thus:

For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMES the WORLD, even our FAITH. Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4,5).

It is only FAITH that releases the GRACE of God. True! The Bible reveals 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. (Romans 4:16).

And Apostle Paul revealed thus:

Now to him that WORKS is the reward NOT reckoned of GRACE, but of DEBT. But to him that WORK NOT, but BELIEVES on him that justifies the ungodly, his FAITH is counted for righteousness. (Romans 4:4,5).

What is the point I am trying to drive home here?

It is that in 2017, your activities that will attract the GRACE (favour) of GOD and the REWARD of GOD to your life and affairs in 2017 will not necessarily be your regular work activities, but SERVICE to humanity that will require you to exercise your FAITH in God. True!

Therefore, you have to be sensitive to the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT in 2017, to know where to be, what to do and how to do it par time. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

It is only the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT that exposes you to responsibilities that will require your FAITH and the grace of God, which if you humbly and obediently carry out releases God's GRACE unto you. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

But if ye be LED of the SPIRIT, you are NOT under the law. (Galatians 5:18; James 4:6-10; Philippians 1:19).

If you not under the law, you are under GRACE. This is why the Bible reveals thus:

For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14).

Do you get it?

Back from where we started from, as the LIGHT of the WORLD:

The true WILL of GOD for you in 2017 will have in it, SERVICE to humanity, shining the light of God in Christ through you into the darkness of the World by your GOOD WORKS, which God by His WILL has ordained for you in Christ in this World in 2017. True!

In other words, the true WILL of GOD for you in 2017 will turn on the LIGHT of Christ in and through you to SERVICE to humanity to overshadow the DARKNESS of selfish in the World.

Look out in 2017, areas within and outside your workplace, where the Holy Spirit of God will direct you to do SERVICE to humanity. Where He will instruct you to go the extra mile.

There lies you exercising your FAITH in God.

There lies GOD releases His GRACE unto you.

There lies GOD rewarding beyond your pay cheque and allowances. True!

The Bible assures thus:

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, immoveable, 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).

What an assurance? God is good!

However, if you are being paid for the SERVICE, you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World must understand that all that God ask you or permitted you do in this World must be born out from the mindset of SERVICE to humanity for Christ's sake. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

And whatsoever you DO in word or deed, do ALL in the name of the Lord JESUS, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:17).

Do you get it?

This why the Bible counsels thus:

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with EYE SERVICE, as MEN PLEASERS; but in singleness of heart, FEARING God: And whatsoever you do, DO it heartily, as TO the Lord, and NOT unto men; Knowing that of the Lord you shall RECEIVE the REWARD of the inheritance: for you SERVE the Lord Christ. But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. (Colossians 3:22-25).

Therefore, know and note this in 2017:

1. It cannot be the WILL of GOD for you, if you have to SIN to get it or get it done. True!

It must be sin free and SERVICE to humanity, even if you are being paid for it or not.

2. It cannot be the WILL of GOD for you, if you have to CHEAT or BRIBE to get it or get it done. True!

It must be sin free and SERVICE to humanity, even if you are being paid for it or not.

3. It cannot be the WILL of GOD for you, if you have to DISPLEASE God to get it or get it done.

It must be sin free and SERVICE to humanity, even if you are being paid for it or not.

4. It cannot be the WILL of GOD for you, if you have to LIE to get it or get it done.

It must be sin free and SERVICE to humanity, even if you are being paid for it or not.

5. It cannot be the WILL of GOD for you, if you have to LOSE your stand for Christ to get it or get it done.

It must be sin free and SERVICE to humanity, even if you are being paid for it or not.

In Matthew 5:14-15, Jesus Christ counselled that through our GOOD WORKS, we should SHINE as divine LIGHTS in the World.

We are expected to do good works that are the WILL of GOD for us in Christ in this World. True!

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to DO the WILL of Him that sent Me, and to FINISH His WORK. (John 4:34).

Do you get it?

God has saved you and I to do ordained and  specific good works for Him in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath before ORDAINED that we should WALK in them. (Ephesians 2:10).

Likewise, God is keeping you and I to enter into 2017 and be alive in 2017 to do ordained and  specific good works for Him in Christ in this World for 2017. True!

If you must identify them in 2017, you must look out for them, not necessarily in places of honour and opportunities of wages, but in places and opportunities where you have to carry out SERVICE to humanity. True!

Does it not amaze you that while the first and greatest commandment is love God with our  whole heart, soul, mind and strength, the second is for you and I to love our neighbours as ourselves. (Mark 12:28-31).

Again, does it not surprise you that the Bible reveals that you and I are liars, if we say we love God, who we cannot see and hate our brothers and sisters, who we do see each day. (1 John 4:19-21).

This is because God cherishes humanity so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for her. Therefore, all that He (God) still does for us and through us is SERVICE to humanity.

The Bible reveals thus:

1 John: 3. 16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:16).

Brother Jude put it this way thus:

And of some have COMPASSION, making a DIFFERENCE. (Jude 1:22).

We are called out from the World and saved in Christ by God to make a DIFFERENCE in this World. That is why we are the SALTS and LIGHTS of the World. True! (Matthew 5:13-16).

Therefore, if it is the WILL of GOD for you in 2017:

There will be a drive to SERVICE to humanity to you to bless you or

There will be a drive to SERVICE to humanity through you to bless others. True!

So, watch out! According to the Bible, Jesus Christ found FAVOUR with God and men. That will be you portion in 2017 in Jesus name. (Luke 2:52).

On a closing note, I will love to remind you that knowing and understanding that you are saved (recreated and regenerated) by God in Christ to manifest and reflect the WILL of GOD for your life and situations par time is a critical mindset you need to have as a genuine Christian to be passionately and persistently committed to God enough to make a DIFFERENCE in this World and to receive from Him as well. True!

Apostle Paul said thus:

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those which are before, I PRESS toward the mark for the PRIZE of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13,14).

If I may ask you, what are you planning to go after in 2017?

Your own will or the WILL of GOD in Christ for you?

Other people's will for you or the WILL of GOD in Christ for you?

Think about this:

Be NOT deceived; God is NOT mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:7-10, take of verses 9 and 10).

Be WISE in 2017!

Be SMART in 2017!

2017...your NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS.

Don't miss it!

God bless you.

TIMELY WISDOM FOR GODLY COUPLES!

TIMELY WISDOM FOR GODLY COUPLES!

Proverbs 31:10 says: who can FIND a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.

But, I heard in my spirit that:

If you do not FIND a virtuous woman as a wife,
TRAIN your wife to be a virtuous woman.

It may not be an easy task, husbands, but I can assure you, it is worth it and going to be rewarding at last! True!

Therefore, I encourage husbands to be above board, knowledge wise. The Bible counsels thus:

Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. (1 Peter 3:7).

Do you get it as a husband or husband to be reading this?

As a husband to a wife, be spiritually and physically KNOWLEDGEABLE enough to earn the respect of your wife and submissiveness at all time. It is good for your marriage and godly before God, the Designer and Creator of the marriage institution. True!

And for wives, I encourage you to be also above board submission wise. The Bible counsels thus:

Likewise, you wives, be in SUBJECTION to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. (1 Peter 3:1-6).

Do you get it as a wife or wife to be reading this?

As a wife to a husband, be spiritually and physically SUBMISSIVE enough to earn the honour of your husband and to be taught by him at all time. It is good for your marriage and godly before God, the Designer and Creator of marriage institution. True!

Jesus Christ loves His spiritual bride in this World, the Church, and He is training, cleaning and maturing her by His Word to what He wants to see in her, the Church. Likewise, husbands are required to do same to their physical brides, their individual wives in this World. True! The Bible counsels thus:

Wives, SUBMIT yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the HUSBAND is the head of the WIFE, even as CHRIST is the head of the CHURCH: and He is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. HUSBANDS, love your WIVES, even as CHRIST also loved the CHURCH, and gave himself for it; That He might sanctify and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by the WORD, That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (Ephesians 5:22-27).

Do you get it?

It is both of you responsibility to work out your marital "salvation" of PEACE for your marriage and home with godly submissiveness and knowledge in this World. True!

It is both of you responsibility to work out your marital "salvation" of PROSPERITY for your marriage and home with godly submissiveness and knowledge in this World. True!

It is both of you responsibility to work out your marital "salvation" of PROGRESS for your marriage and home with godly submissiveness and knowledge in this World. True!

This is because:

It is better to be single, than to live in marital mistake.

It is better to be single, than to live in marital misery.

It is better to be single, than to live in marital mess.

Think about it!

God bless you.

God bless your marriage.

God bless your home in Jesus name.

KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU IN 2017 (2)!

KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU IN 2017 (2)!

I said in my introduction of this series that unknown to many Christians, one critical essence of us being saved (born again or recreated) by God in Christ in this World is to DO the WILL of GOD in Christ for us, individually and collectively in this World. (Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12,13; John 4:34).

Today, I will be informing you of the first characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD for you in 2017.

However, before I do so, I love to inform you that one of your responsibilities as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World is to always seek the WILL of GOD for your life and situations in all things and in all areas. True!

Jesus Christ our ultimate Role Model for living victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily on Earth taught us how to PRAY thus:

After this manner therefore PRAY you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your WILL be DONE in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).

The truth to be said, our lives and situations as genuine Children of God in Christ in this World should be the manifestations and reflections of the WILL of GOD for us at all times and in all. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK out your OWN salvation with fear and trembling. For it is GOD which works in YOU both to WILL and to DO of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12,13).

In fact, we are saved to SHOW forth the PRAISES (glories) of GOD in Christ on us in this World. True! The Bible reveals thus:

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should SHOW forth the PRAISES of Him who has called YOU out of darkness into His marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9,10).

Understanding that we are saved to manifest to reflect the WILL of GOD for our lives and situations par time, Apostle Paul counselled 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, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of God. (Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 2:15-17; Philippians 4:8,9).

Many Christians do not know that one of the critical reasons the Bible consistently requests that we consciously submit ourselves to God and renew our minds with the WORD of GOD in this World is for us to know the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD for our lives and situations par time. True!

It is sad to see day after day how Children of God in Christ think, speak and live far from the WILL of GOD in Christ for them, either in schooling, marriage, work, business,

Therefore, I am sent to inform you before the end of 2016:

1. To consciously make up your mind to consistently ASK (pray) about the WILL of GOD for your life in Christ in this World in 2017. (Matthew 7:7-11; 1 John 5:14,15).

2. To consciously make up your mind to consistently SEEK (study) out the WILL of GOD for your life in Christ in this World in 2017. (Matthew 7:7-11 Romans 8:26-28).

3. To consciously make up your mind to consistently FIND (fast) out the WILL of GOD for your life in Christ in this World in 2017. (Matthew 7:7-11; Daniel 9; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

4. To consciously make up your mind to consistently SETTLE for the WILL of GOD for your life in Christ in this World in 2017. (1 Thessalonians 5:

5. To consciously make up your mind to consistently THINK about the WILL of GOD for your life in Christ in this World in 2017. (Romans 12:2; Philippians 4:8,9).

6. To consciously make up your mind to consistently SPEAK about the WILL of GOD for your life in Christ in this World in 2017. (Joshua 1:8; Matthew 12:34-37).

7. To consciously make up your mind to consistently LIVE out the WILL of GOD for your life in Christ in this World in 2017. (John 4:34; John 17:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; Colossians 4:17).

Back to today's message focus, which is to inform you about the the first characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD for you in 2017.

The first characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD for you in 2017 is that:

There will be a drive to SERVE God in it.

If you do not have the drive to SERVE God, then is not the WILL of GOD for you. True!

JESUS said unto them, My meat is to DO the WILL of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work. (John 4:34).

Jesus Christ has a drive to serve God by doing His WILL for Him on Earth.

Jesus Christ has a drive to please God by doing His WILL for Him on Earth.

Jesus Christ has a drive to honour God by doing His WILL for Him on Earth.

If I may ask, what drives you to SERVE God?

Is it you doing His WILL for your life in Christ in this World or doing that of yours?

Is it you doing His WILL for your life in Christ in this World or doing that of others?

Think about it!

If you do not feel like SERVING God with it, then it not the WILL of GOD for you in 2017. True!

If there is one thing you must remember in 2017, know and note that God only answers, blesses and favours His WILL in Christ for you and I in this World. True!

That is why Apostle John revealed thus:

And this is the CONFIDENCE that WE have in Him, that, if we ASK any thing according to His WILL, He HEARS us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we KNOW that we HAVE the petitions that we desired of Him. (1 John 5:14,15).

Be WISE in 2017!

Be SMART in 2017!

2017...your NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS.

Don't miss it!

God bless you.

KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU IN 2017 (1)!

KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU IN 2017 (1)!

Introduction

Unknown to many Christians, one critical essence of us being saved (born again or recreated) by God in Christ in this World is to DO the WILL of GOD in Christ for us, individually and collectively in this World.

The Bible reveals thus:

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 2:8-10, take note of verse 10).

Again, the Bible reveals thus:

Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK out your OWN salvation with fear and trembling. For it is GOD which works in YOU both to WILL and to DO of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12,13).

Jesus Christ our ultimate Rodel Model for living victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily on Earth said thus:

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to DO the WILL of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work. (John 4:34).

Therefore, He taught us how to PRAY thus:

After this manner therefore PRAY you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your WILL be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).

And the Bible reveals thus:

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE as HE (Jesus Christ) is, so are WE in this world. (1 John 4:17).

Now, know and note:

1. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows the WILL of GOD in Christ for your life in this World. Nobody else! True!

The Bible reveals thus:

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath 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 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. (1 Corinthians 2:9-12).

2. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to TEACH you the WILL of GOD in Christ for your life in this World. True! Nobody else!

But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit) which you have received of Him ABIDES in YOU, and you need NOT that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches YOU of ALL things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him. (1 John 2:27; John 16:13-16).

3. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly PRAY the WILL of GOD in Christ through you in this World. Nobody else! True!

The Bible reveals thus:

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 groanings 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. 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. (Romans 8:26-28; 1 John 5:14,15).

4. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly LEAD you according to the WILL of GOD in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!

The Bible reveals thus:

For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of GOD, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).

5. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly EMPOWER you to DO the WILL of GOD in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!

But you shall receive POWER, after that the HOLY GHOST is COME upon YOU: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Philippians 2).

6. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly HELP you when challenges shows up against you in doing the WILL of GOD in Christ in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!

The Bible reveals thus:

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)

7. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly COMFORT you when unpleasant circumstances shows up against you in doing the WILL of GOD in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!

The Bible reveals thus:

But when the COMFORTER is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the SPIRIT of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: (John 15:26).

If you recall part of the Lord's Prayer stated above, Jesus Christ taught us to pray that the Kingdom of God (that is, the Holy Spirit of God presence, principle, power and possessions) comes and your WILL be done. (Matthew 6:10; 2 Corinthians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 1:24).

This means that until the HOLY SPIRIT comes, the WILL of God cannot be known or done on Earth. True!

That is why again, Jesus Christ instructed thus:

But SEEK you FIRST the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).

Do you get it?

When we first seek the Kingdom of God (the Holy Spirit), every other thing will be added unto us. True!

Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled on how to seek first the Kingdom of God (Holy Spirit) 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, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of God. (Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 2:15-17; Philippians 4:8,9).

Kindly, read from me again as I inform you about the first characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD for you in 2017. Get your family and friends to read this and to follow this series. What a priceless blessing it will be to them.Thank you!

Welcome in advance into your NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS in 2017!

God bless you.

STEP INTO YOUR NEXT LEVEL IN 2017 BY COMPLETELY SUBMITTING ALL YOUR 2016 CHALLENGES TO GOD!

STEP INTO YOUR NEXT LEVEL IN 2017 BY COMPLETELY SUBMITTING ALL YOUR 2016 CHALLENGES TO GOD!

I was relaxing on my sofa on CHRISTMAS day (Christ's birthday) to have a short nap when I heard in my spirit thus:

What YOU consistently DOUBT about reveals where and what you have NOT truly and humbly submitted to God in Christ in this World. True!

What YOU consistently FEAR about reveals where and what you have NOT truly and humbly submitted to God in Christ in this World. True!

What YOU consistently WORRY about reveals where and what you have NOT truly and humbly submitted to God in Christ in this World. True!

What YOU consistently SORROW about reveals where and what you have NOT truly and humbly submitted to God in Christ in this World. True!

What YOU consistently feel DISAPPOINTED about reveals where and what you have NOT truly and humbly submitted to God in Christ in this World. True!

What YOU are consistently SAD about reveals where and what you have NOT truly and humbly submitted to God in Christ in this World. True!

What YOU consistently feel DEPRESSED about reveals where and what you have NOT truly and humbly submitted to God in Christ in this World. True!

Therefore, take a careful check right now of every area of your existence and completely submit low moment areas to God right now.

Do you find any thing in any area of your LIFE?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your SPOUSE?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your MARRIAGE?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your CHILDREN?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your HOME?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your FRIENDS and FAMILY?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your WORK and COLLEAGUES?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your PASTOR and CHURCH?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the area of your NATION?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Do you find any thing in the events of your PAST and PRESENT (2016)?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

Whosoever, whatsoever and wheresoever?

Humbly and truly submit it to God!

The Bible counsels thus:

Be CAREFUL (worry) for nothing; but in EVERY thing by PRAYER and supplication with thanksgiving LET your requests be made known unto God. And the PEACE of GOD, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6,7).

Do you get it?

Now, know and note that it is PRIDE before God not to humbly and completely cast ANY or ALL your CARES (doubts, fears, worries, sorrows, sadness disappointments, battles, etc) before Him? True!

This was revealed to me some years back and I was shocked as I guess you are right now. And do you know what? The Bible reveals thus:

But He gives MORE grace. Wherefore He said, God resists the PROUD, but gives GRACE (favour) unto the HUMBLE. SUBMIT (humble) yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (James 4:6-8).

Therefore, I am sent to timely remind you that within the remaining days to the close up of 2016, that you should consciously give up ANY or ALL of your doubts, fears, worries, sorrows, sadnesses, disappointments and battles to God for He cares for you and He will surely take care of them for you, both supernaturally and naturally in 2017. True!

The Bible counsels thus:

HUMBLE yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of GOD, that He may EXALT you in due time: Casting ALL your care UPON Him; for He CARES for YOU. (1 Peter 5:6,7).

Do you get it!

Until you do, there is NOTHING God cannot really do for you in 2017 concerning your CARES (doubts, fears, worries, sorrows, sadness, disappointments, battles etc) and MOVE you into your NEXT LEVEL. True!

Think about it and take action now!

It is time for you to SEE your challenges through the EYES of GOD and not yours. Yes! This is because with God ALL things are possible and ALL things are possible to him or her that believes that He (God) cares and is faithful and able to do it for him or her in due time (in 2017). True! (Luke 18:27; Mark 9:23; Matthew 7:8-12; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Number 13, 14).

One of the beauty and gain of CHRISTMAS (Christ's birth), is for you to have the opportunity to come God through JESUS CHRIST and cast upon Him ALL your burdens in this World (in 2016). True! 

Jesus Christ said thus:

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 you shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 4:14-16).

Do you get it?


Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations (challenges); Knowing this, that the TRYING of your FAITH works PATIENCE. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, WANTING nothing. If any of you LACK wisdom (to deal with your life's challenges), let him ASK of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But let him ASK in FAITH, nothing 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 1:2-8).

Do you see that?

Again, there is NOTHING God can really do for you in 2017, when you do not humbly submit your challenges to Him in FAITH these few days remaining in 2016 and patiently wait to see Him deal with them and move you to your NEXT LEVEL in 2017. True!

Don't take those challenges of yours to 2017. No, don't. Humbly give them over now in faith to God, your heavenly Father, for He truly cares for you. True! (Matthew 7:8-12).

If you will believe with me, then welcome in advance into 2017...our year of NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS!!! Halleluyah!

Do have a fulfilling week in Jesus name!

God bless you.

THE OUTSTANDING SHINING STAR AT CHRISTMAS!

THE OUTSTANDING SHINING STAR AT CHRISTMAS!

JESUS CHRIST is still the one and only outstanding shining STAR in the World. True!

JESUS CHRIST is still the one and only outstanding shining STAR in the World that only WISE people comes to SEEK and WORSHIP. True!

JESUS CHRIST is still the one and only outstanding shining STAR in the World that comes into men and women's lives and make them become outstanding shining STAR like Himself in the sight and side of God in the World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Now when JESUS was BORN in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came WISE men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His STAR in the east, and are COME to WORSHIP Him. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and FELL down, and WORSHIPPED Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:1,2,11).

Like the wise men, only WISE people come to seek and worship JESUS CHRIST in this World. True!

Are you one of the WISE ones in this World?

If no, CHRISTMAS offers you the opportunity to be!

If yes, CHRISTMAS offers you the opportunity to remain so?

The Bible counsels thus:

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be WISE. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; And you are CHRIST'S; and CHRIST is GOD'S. (1 Corinthians 3:18-21,23).

It is wisdom to be a CHRISTIAN (Christ's follower) in this World.

Therefore, become a fool to the World and become wise to God!

Become a CHRISTIAN (Christ's follower) today in this World, if you are not. It is the wisest and smartest thing to do at CHRISTMAS. True!

Become a CHRISTIAN (Christ's follower) today having the one and only outstanding shining STAR in the World living within you in this World and you will SHINE over darkness and death as He did. Yes, you will! (1 John 4:27).

Hurry up and become now!

Hurray, if you are already one of the wise ones in the World. If you are already a genuine CHRISTIAN (Christ's follower) in this World. Hurray!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!

God bless you.

CONCERNING CHRISTMAS? TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!!!

CONCERNING CHRISTMAS? TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!!!

For me, taking over December 25th of every year from celebrating the god of the sun to celebrating the SON of GOD, is an outstanding and accomplished victory of JESUS CHRIST over the Devil in this World.

Why?

The EARTH is the LORD'S, and the FULLNESS thereof; the WORLD, and THEY that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. (Psalm 24:1,2).

Do you get it!

Even the day, 25th December of evey year is owned by the Lord and not the Devil. True!

Take it or leave it, celebrating CHRISTMAS (the birthday of JESUS CHRIST) worth it. Yes, it is!

I love celebrating JESUS CHRIST everyday, for everybody and in everything. So, if you agree with me, then like, comment and share with friends and family.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

God bless you.

FOR UNTO US GOD IS BORN AT CHRISTMAS!

FOR UNTO US GOD IS BORN AT CHRISTMAS!

Many Christians do not think, speak and live as if they know that JESUS CHRIST is GOD manifested and living within them.

The Bible reveals God coming to us in the person of Jesus Christ thus:

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1 Timothy 3:16).

Prophet Isaiah in preannouncing the BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST said thus:

For unto US a CHILD is BORN, unto US a SON is GIVEN: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The MIGHTY GOD, The EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6).

Why did God orchestrate the BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST for us?

The Bible reveals thus:

Now the BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST was on this wise: When His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with CHILD of the HOLY GHOST. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a SON, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for He shall SAVE His people from their SINS. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a SON, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD with US. (Matthew 1:18-23).

The BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST is to primarily bring GOD back to us to save us from our SINS.

The Bible reveals that:

His name shall be called EMMANUEL, which means, GOD with US.

His name shall be called JESUS, He shall save us His people from our SINS.

This means that if you know and say GOD is truly with you:

You will not consciously SIN against Him. True!

You will not consistently SIN against Him. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Whosoever commits SIN transgresses 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 known 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 3:4-10).

Do you get it?

Your spirit, which is now one with His Spirit spiritually cannot THINK of SIN. True!

Your spirit, which is now one with His Spirit spiritually cannot SPEAK of SIN. True!

Your spirit, which is now one with His Spirit spiritually cannot COMMIT SIN. True!  (1 Corinthians 6:13-20).

However, if your salvation (born again) is genuine and you mistakenly SINNED against God by the weakness of your flesh, you will be instantly remorseful, quickly repent and confess your SIN before Him for mercy, forgiveness and cleansing. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that GOD is LIGHT, and in Him is NO darkness at all. If we SAY that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8. If we SAY that we have NO sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we CONFESS our sins, He is faithful and just to FORGIVE us our sins, and to CLEANSE us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:5-10).

Do you get it?

We sin against God:

When we are not CONSCIOUS of the fact that God is with us and in us. True!

When we have not personally SEEN Him (God) in Christ in this World. True!

When we do not personally KNOW Him (God) in Christ in this World. True!

Are you consciously aware that God in Christ is with you?

Have you personally seen God in Christ?

Have you personally known God in Christ?

If you truly do, you will not consciously or consistently live in SIN, so that SIN do not SEPARATE you from Him and GOOD SUCCESS in Him. True! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 John 3; Joshua 1:8).

Jesus Christ said thus:

And YOU shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE. (John 8:32).

Can you truly say you are FREE from SIN?

Think about it!

CHRISTMAS (Christ's birth celebration) season is the best time to do just that. True!

Merry CHRISTMAS in advance!

God bless you.

THINK OF THIS AND ACT NOW!

THINK OF THIS AND ACT NOW!

I heard in my spirit this morning thus:

 When last did you say, "I LOVE YOU LORD?"

This is serious!

If I may ask you the same question, when last do you consciously and unconditionally say, "I LOVE YOU LORD"?

Think about it and act now!

This is God's message for you and I this day and for this CHRISTMAS season, when we are remembering His unfailingly and Fatherly LOVE towards us that compelled Him to give us His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST, to saved us from sin, condemnation, defeat and death. No doubt, He sincerely and unconditionally LOVED us.

The Bible reveals thus:

For God so LOVED the world, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).

Apostle John put it this way:

Behold, 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 doth 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 hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure. (1 John 3:1-3).

Do you sincerely and unconditionally LOVE Him back as well?

Jesus Christ reveals 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 thou 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, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mark 12:28-31).

When last did you consciously, sincerely and unconditionally say, "I LOVE YOU LORD"?

Think about it and act now!

God bless you.

A TRUE CHRISTIAN KNOWS THIS AS THE BEST AND COSTLIEST GIFT TO GIVE AT CHRISTMAS!

A TRUE CHRISTIAN KNOWS THIS AS THE BEST AND COSTLIEST GIFT TO GIVE AT CHRISTMAS!

There is no doubt that each of us consciously or unconsciously give GIFTS to people based on the love, value and respect we knowingly or unknowingly placed on them before giving them the gifts. True!

This is not different from God. God through prophet Isaiah announced the birth of JESUS many years before JESUS CHRIST was physically born into the Earth thus:

For unto us a CHILD is BORN, unto us a SON is GIVEN: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:6,7).

When the time was fully come and fulfilled, the Bible reveals thus:

For GOD so LOVED the WORLD, that He GAVE His ONLY begotten SON, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has NOT believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:16-21).

God, because of His unconditional LOVE for humanity gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST. His most priceless and precious possession and GIFT to redeem humanity back to Himself. How good is our God!

God, because of His uncompromising VALUE for human souls gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST. His most priceless and precious possession and GIFT to reconcile humanity back to Himself. How merciful is our God!

God, because of His uncommon RESPECT for human lives gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST. His most priceless and precious possession and GIFT to restore humanity back to Himself. How gracious is our God!

Therefore, no other GIFT you and I will give to others this CHRISTMAS (Christ's birthday celebration) season, especially to unbelievers or sinners that is better than the gift of the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST.

True, if truly, you and I LOVE them as we claim and as God LOVES them.

True, if truly, you and I VALUE them as we claim and as God VALUES their souls.

True, if truly, you and I RESPECT them as we claim and as God RESPECTS their lives.

Every true Christian knows that they have a sacred and urgent duty to call back their loved ones, neighbours, colleagues and strangers back to God through JESUS CHRIST for the earthly survival and eternal salvation of their souls. True!

Therefore, true Christians knows that:

Giving the GIFT of the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST is the BEST gift ever they can give this CHRISTMAS (Christ's birthday celebration) season to their loved ones, others they know and strangers who are not yet saved through Christ in this World. True!

Giving the GIFT of the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST is the COSTLIEST gift ever they can give this CHRISTMAS (Christ's birthday celebration) season to their loved ones, others they know and strangers who are not yet saved through Christ in this World. True!

Why?

Because JESUS CHRIST Himself revealed thus:

For what shall it PROFIT a man, if he shall GAIN the WHOLE world, and LOSE his own SOUL? Or what shall a man give in EXCHANGE for his SOUL? (Mark 8:36,37).

Do you get it?

Think about it and take action now before is too late for them. Yes, too late for them either by death or rapture!

That is why the wisest King in the Old covenant era said thus:

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that WINS souls is WISE. (Proverbs 11:30).

Will you be wise or foolish with giving your CHRISTMAS gift this season? Think about it!

Why, you and I must not be foolish with the giving of our CHRISTMAS gift this season? Because the Bible reveals thus:

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which CONVERTS the sinner from the error of his way shall SAVE a soul from DEATH, and shall HIDE a multitude of SINS. (James 5:19,20).

Do you get it?

Jesus Christ said that if you and I valued the whole World together, it cost cannot buy, pay or be exchange for the soul of any human being, irrespective of how we think the person is less, useless and worthless than us or to others. True!

God proved His value for the soul of man, when He gave the life of His one and only begotten, priceless and precious Son, JESUS CHRIST.

Sadly to say:

Despite the huge population of those who claim to be Christian practitioners and parents, our churches and homes are full of SINS today, because many who call themselves Christians are not consciously and passionately giving the BEST and COSTLIEST gift of the knowledge of JESUS CHRIST to their UNBELIEVING or SINNING loved ones around them at their homes, worship places, neighbourhoods, etc. True!

Despite the huge population of those who claim to be Christian people, our World and nations are full of SINS today, because many who call themselves Christians are not consciously and passionately giving the BEST and COSTLIEST gift of the knowledge of JESUS CHRIST to their UNBELIEVING or SINNING loved ones around them at their study places, workplaces, business places, etc. True!

So sad!

Now, know and note, no better time than at CHRISTMAS (Christ's birthday celebration) season, can you and I give to our loved ones, neighbours, friends, colleagues and even strangers, the BEST and COSTLIEST gift (of the knowledge of JESUS CHRIST), who as the person of JESUS CHRIST, God Himself gave to the World for salvation (reconciliation and restoration of humanity back to Himself). True!

While God gave the World the person of JESUS CHRIST, you and I are saved to give the knowledge of JESUS CHRIST to the World visa vie the person of Jesus Christ. Halleluyah!

The Bible reveals thus:

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself by JESUS CHRIST, and has GIVEN to US the MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION; To wit, that GOD was in CHRIST, reconciling the WORLD unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has COMMITTED unto US the WORD of RECONCILIATION. Now then WE are AMBASSADORS for CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be you reconciled to God. For He has made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

Do you get it?

True Christians knows that they are AMBASSADORS for Christ in the World, even at CHRISTMAS (Christ's birthday celebration) season. True!

True Christians knows they are saved by God in Christ to reconcile the World back to Him (God), especially their loved ones and even at CHRISTMAS (Christ's birthday celebration) season. True!

Always remember this:

...How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (Romans 10:15).

They are thus:

And they that be WISE shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that TURN many to righteousness as the STARS for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3).

Do you see that? Hmm!

Jesus Christ said to you and I thus:

And He said unto them, GO you into ALL the WORLD, and PREACH the gospel to every creature. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:15-18).

True Christians do not take for granted this commandment of Jesus Christ, not even at a festive period of the celebration of His birth (CHRISTMAS). True!

Take note, take heed!

Wishing you in advance, a merry and many CHRISTMAS ahead in Jesus name.

God bless you.

A TRUE CHRISTIAN STILL LOOKS UNTO JESUS CHRIST IN THE MIDST OF CHALLENGES IN THIS WORLD!

A TRUE CHRISTIAN STILL LOOKS UNTO JESUS CHRIST IN THE MIDST OF CHALLENGES IN THIS WORLD!

How easy today, many that call themselves Christians:

LOOK unto other people and not the person of Jesus Christ for HOPE and HELP to overcome their challenges in this World. So sad!

LOOK unto other places and not the cross of Jesus Christ for HOPE and HELP to overcome their challenges in this World. So sad!

LOOK unto other possessions and not the promises of God in Jesus Christ for HOPE and HELP to overcome their challenges in this World. So sad!

LOOK unto other positions and not the throne of God with Jesus Christ at His right hand for HOPE and HELP to overcome their challenges in this World. So sad!

LOOK unto other powers and not the power of God in Jesus Christ's name for HELP and HOPE to overcome their challenges in this World? So sad!

Many who call themselves Christians in their time of challenges usually forget that the Bible reveals that:

Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:10-12).

They do forget in their time of challenges that the Bible reveals that:

Wherefore God also hath highly EXALTED Him, and given Him a NAME which is ABOVE every name: That at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11).

So sad!

Truly, every person has a name. Every place has a name. Every possession (thing) has a name. Every position has a name. Every power has a name. But the name of JESUS CHRIST is above all. The name of Jesus Christ is powerful and profitable than them all. Yes, it is by God's exaltation and enthronement of His name above all other names, either names n Heaven, on Earth or beneath the Earth. Halleluyah!

This means that if you do not get your HOPE and HELP from JESUS CHRIST, you cannot truly and safely get it from any other person, place, possession, position or power. True!

JESUS CHRIST is the one and only person and name, God has given in this dispensation of grace for humans to find HOPE and HELP to overcome any of their challenges in this World. True!

Therefore, Apostle Paul reveals thus:

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST in YOU, the HOPE of GLORY (on earth now and in heaven someday): (Colossians 1:27).

Do you get it?

Now, if you recall, the plague that befell the Children of Israel was addressed by God  instructing Moses to lift up a serpent and all that will believe and steadfastly LOOK unto it, will be deliver and save from the plague.

However, the Bible reveals further thus:

And as Moses LIFTED up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the SON of MAN (Jesus Christ) be LIFTED up: That whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the NAME of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:14-21).

The good news is that God in His infinite mercy and grace has LIFTED up JESUS CHRIST from the dead and set Him at His right hand in glory and Majesty for humanity salvation (justification) and glorification. However, only those who will believe and steadfastly LOOK on Him (JESUS CHRIST) will be delivered and saved from the onslaught of the Devil against humanity in this World. True!

Therefore, I am sent this day to timely remind and inform you to steadfastly LOOK unto Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith, even in the midst of your fierce challenges in this World. This is not optional to a true Christian, but is the one and only available and reliable option to his or her HOPE and HELP in Christ in this World. True!

This is why Apostle Paul counselled thus;

o

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 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).

Therefore, 

A true Christian is the one who knows that in his or her CHALLENGES, there is always HOPE in Christ and divine HELP for him or her at the end of the the day, as long as he or she steadfastly LOOK on unto Jesus Christ in this World. True!

A true Christian is the one who knows that in his or her CIRCUMSTANCES, there is always HOPE in Christ and divine HELP for him or her at the end of the the day, as long as he or she steadfastly LOOK on unto Jesus Christ in this World. True!

A true Christian is the one who knows that in his or her CONFUSIONS, there is always HOPE in Christ and divine HELP for him or her at the end of the the day, as long as he or she steadfastly LOOK on unto Jesus Christ in this World. True!

However, Jesus Christ counselled thus:

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be SINGLE (focus, fix,), your whole body shall be FULL of LIGHT. But if thine eye be evil, your whole body shall be FULL of DARKNESS. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness! 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. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matthew 6:22-25).

Do you get it? Take note, take heed!

Now what has not gone well for you in 2016 that is bothering you? 

Are you a true Christian? 

Then why worry, when you can steadfastly LOOK unto Jesus Christ in faith for HOPE and divine HELP in this World?

Why worry, when you can CAST all CARES (worries, fears, doubts, disappointments, etc) of 2016 upon the Lord, for He truly cares for you?

Do you not believe any longer that with God ALL things are possible? (Matthew 19:26).

Have you forgotten so soon that ALL things are possible to them that believe? (Mark 9:23).

Do you not know that without faith it is impossible to please God and that God rewards only faith and not fear, worry, doubt and their likes? (Hebrews 11:6).

Come on, pick up yourself once again and believe in the God of heaven that turns seemly impossible situations to possible ones for humans, who sum up courage to call on him desperately in faith. (James 5:17,18).

The Bible reveals thus:

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing TOO hard for Me? (Jeremiah 32:27).

All you need to do now friend, is to have faith once again in His Word (in Him) and boldly and consistently call on Him in faith in the name of Jesus Christ and steadfastly LOOK on to Him and you will see him do it for you in due time to His glory and shame of the devil, your arch enemy. Yes, it will be done for you and you will glorify the Father once more in the land of the living. True!

Jesus Christ said you need not faint because of your challenges, but to pray consistently to the righteous Judge (God) of the universe to intervene, to avenge your adversaries and compensate you. (John 18:1-8; proverbs 24:10).

The Psalmist put it this way:

O thou that hears prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. (Psalm 65:2).

The Psalmist knew where and who his HOPE and HELP comes from. He said thus:

I will LIFT up mine EYES unto the hills, from whence cometh my HELP. My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1,2).

Where are you lifting up your eyes and hearts to for HOPE and HELP in this World?

Who are you lifting up your eyes and hearts to for HOPE and HELP in this World?

What are you lifting up your eyes and hearts to for HOPE and HELP in this World?


Think about it and once again, COME boldly unto the throne of grace, that YOU may obtain MERCY, and find GRACE to HELP in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16).

Come! Come!! Come!!!

Because, FAITHFUL is He that calls YOU, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

God bless you.
