IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST LEARN TO CAST ALL YOUR CARE UPON GOD!

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST LEARN TO CAST ALL YOUR CARE UPON GOD!

I am sent today to announce to you that:

It is okay to FEAR sometimes in Christ as a human being still in this World. True!

It is okay to DOUBT sometimes in Christ as a human being still in this World. True!

It is okay to WORRY sometimes in Christ as a human being still in this World. True!

It is okay to FAIL sometimes in Christ as a human being still in this World. True!

It is okay to FALL sometimes in Christ as a human being still in this World. True!

Is okay to ??? sometimes in Christ as a human being still in this World. True!

Now, the challenge is this, in your time of fear, doubt, worry, failure and fall, WHO and WHERE do you go to to address your fears, doubts, worries, failures and fall matters. The Bible in 2 Chronicles 20 tells us about King Jehoshaphat FEAR after information got to him of three other kings that are coming against him. The good news was that he ran to the GOD of HEAVEN for rescue and He did supernaturally deliver and enriched him greatly. Halleluyah!

He will deliver and enrich you too in Jesus name, but it is when you run by FAITH and HOPE to Him for HELP in your time of challenges. True! Take note, take heed! (Hebrews 4:16).

That is why the Bible counsels us 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)

Will you humbly and wholeheartedly CAST all your CARE upon the God today and let Him show you He CARES?

Will you? Please do because He is FAITHFUL and ABLE to make those things that are impossible with men to be possible for them who truly TRUST in Him in Christ in this World. He will not fail you in Christ name. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Thessalonians 5:24; Ephesians 3:20; Mark 10:27).

And Jesus Christ said to us 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 ye shall FIND REST unto your SOULS. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30).

Will you humbly and wholeheartedly COME to the Lord Jesus Christ with your labours and heavy ladens and burdens today and let Him give you REST and His BEST for you in this World?

Will you? Please do because He is FAITHFUL and ABLE to make those things that are impossible with men to be possible for them who truly TRUST in Him in Christ in this World. . He will not fail you in Christ name. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Thessalonians 2:24; Ephesians 3:20; Mark 10:27).

God bless you.

IF YOU DESIRE TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST LEARN TO UNDERSTAND AND DO ONLY THE WILL OF GOD PAR TIME!

IF YOU DESIRE TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST LEARN TO UNDERSTAND AND DO ONLY THE WILL OF GOD PAR TIME!

What I am sent today to inform you about is so important and dear to the HEART of GOD that if you miss it, you have missed GOD Himself and completely miss His REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True! So humbly open up your mind and heart to receive and be blessed in Jesus name.

The Bible makes us to understand who is a WISE Christian and who is a FOOLISH Christian in this World thus:

See then that you WALK circumspectly, not as FOOLS, but as WISE, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be you NOT unwise, but UNDERSTANDING what the WILL of the Lord is. And be NOT drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. (Ephesians 5:15-18).

The Bible clearly and boldly states that:

1. Any Christian (Christ's follower) WHO DOES NOT understand the WILL of GOD in Christ for him or her par time par his or her situation by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within him or her is a FOOL in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

2. Any Christian (Christ's follower) WHO DOES  understand the WILL of GOD in Christ for him or her par time par his or her situation by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within him or her is a WISE in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

And the Bible further reveals to us from the above stated scriptural verses that it is when we WISELY understand the WILL of GOD by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within each of us in this World that each of us will be able to REDEEM our TIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

Am sorry to say, you can see now that we have so many genuine, but FOOLISH Christians these days parading themselves as being WISE because of their worldly education, creativity, exposure, wisdom, beauty, connection, place of resident, position, power, possessions, popularity, etc. So sad, so bad!

While many genuine Christians today are ignorantly and shamefully BOASTING of their worldly education, creativity, exposure, wisdom,  beauty, connection, place of resident, position, power, possessions, popularity, etc, King David in his days on Earth was wisely and boldly boasting thus:

O how LOVE I your LAW! It is my meditation ALL the day. You through your COMMANDMENTS have made me WISER than mine ENEMIES: for they are ever with me. I have MORE understanding than ALL my TEACHERS: for your TESTIMONIES are my meditation. I understand MORE than the ANCIENTS, because I keep your PRECEPTS. I have REFRAINED my feet from every evil way, that I might KEEP your WORD. I have NOT departed from your JUDGMENTS: for you have taught me. How sweet are your WORDS unto my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get UNDERSTANDING: therefore I hate every false way. Your WORD is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH. (Psalm 119:97-104; Psalm 19:7-14; Psalm 1:1-3).

Oh! How I wish that Christians of today will humbly come to a place of realization like King David to understand that GOOD and PERFECT GIFT in this World comes from ABOVE and from God the Father in Heaven via His WORD in Christ for us that becomes His WILL and WAY in Christ for us in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:

Do not err, my beloved brethren. EVERY GOOD GIFT and EVERY PERFECT GIFT is from ABOVE, and comes down from the father of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of His own WILL begat He us with the WORD of TRUTH, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT to HEAR, SLOW to SPEAK, SLOW to WRATH. (James 1:16-19).

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us 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 ye 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).

Unfortunately and unknown to many genuine Christians, the ROOT CAUSEof their FAILURE in Christ in this World is because they are IGNORANT of the WILL of GOD in Christ for them par time par their situation in this World. True! So sad, so bad!

Many genuine Christians PRAY daily, but their prayers are not answered because they are far from the WILL of GOD in Christ for them in this World being driven by worldly LUST and PRIDE. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible confirms this truth to us thus:

From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that war in your members? You LUST, and have not: you kill, and DESIRE to have, and CANNOT obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ask not. You ASK, and  RECEIVE NOT, because you ASK AMISS, that you may consume it upon YOUR LUSTS. You adulterers and adulteresses, know you NOT that the FRIENDSHIP of the WORLD is ENMITY with GOD? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do you think that the scripture said in vain, the spirit that dwells in us LUSTS to envy? (James 4:1-5; 1 John 2:15-17)

Can we deny the fact that majority of Christians today are foolishly, lustfully and pridefully in FRIENDSHIP with the WORLD and ignorantly and unknowingly in ENMITY with GOD in Christ in this World. True! Take the, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us thus that the Disciples of Jesus Christ PRAYED according to the WILL of GOD to get their prayers answered:

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).

Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled us thus, so that we should be able to PROVE what is that good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD in Christ for us par time par our individual situation in this World:

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; Colossians 2:8-10).

We must have to individually be able to PROVE what is that good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD in Christ for each of us par time par our individual situation in this World because 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; 2 Corinthians :614-18).

The truth to be told, we must individually WORK  OUT our own SALVATION (freedom by the Word, WILL and Way of God in Christ from the World and things of this World) understanding par time par our individual situation what GOD is desiring to WILL and DO  through each of us in Christ in this World to enter and enjoy God's REST and BEST in Christ for us par time par our individual situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 John 2:12-15).

Now, know and note that the distance between being PROUD and being HUMBLE in the sight of God is MEEKNESS and being MEEK in the sight of God is being SUBMISSIVE to His WILL and not your own will. Therefore, Jesus Christ said thus:

BLESSED are the MEEK: for they shall INHERIT the EARTH. (Matthew 5:5).

If you must inherit (conquer, dominate and possess your possessions in Christ) on the Earth, you must LEARN to be MEEK towards God (submissive to the WILL of God in Christ for you par time par your situation) in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

Too many Christians are too PROUD towards God, in that they always have their own will done and never the WILL of God being done on Earth for them as it is in Heaven for them in Christ. True! So sad, so bad! Take note, take heed!

JESUS CHRIST, our ultimate role model on how to life a victorious and satisfactory life that is pleasing to God in this World taught us 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; 1 John 4:17; Hebrews 12:1-4).

Not my will, not your will, but God's WILL be done on Earth as it is in Heaven for and through you and I in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

Therefore,  the Bible makes it clear to us thus:

If you be WILLING and OBEDIENT, you shall EAT the good of the land: But if you REFUSE and REBEL, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD had spoken it. (Isaiah 1:19,20).

Also, the Bible counsels us thus:

If they OBEY and SERVE Him, they shall SPEND their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. But if they obey NOT, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. (Job 36:11,12; Ecclesiastes 7:14).

Furthermore, the Bible reveals to us thus:

But he GIVES more GRACE. Wherefore He said, GOD resists the PROUD, but GIVES grace unto the HUMBLE. SUBMIT yourselves therefore to GOD. RESIST the devil, and he will FLEE from you. DRAW near to God, and he will DRAW near to you. CLEANSE your hands, you sinners; and PURIFY your hearts, you double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. HUMBLE yourselves in the SIGHT of the Lord, and He shall LIFT you up. (James 4:6-10).

If you are PROUD to GOD by not being submissive to His WILL in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World, He will not give you more GRACE to overcome and become what He had ordained in Christ for you in this World. That is, you will not be LIFTED UP in Christ in this World above unbelievers. Is this not the sad and sorrow state and situation of many genuine Christians vis-à-vis the Church of Christ in this World today? True! Take note, take heed!

Finally, you must  LEARN to HUMBLE yourself in Christ to ACCEPT that it is ONLY the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World that KNOWS the WILL of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True!

Therefore,

1. You must consciously and humbly LEARN allow Him (the Holy Spirit) to TEACH you the WILL of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World as counselled by Apostle John thus:

But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit of Christ) which you have received of Him ABIDES in you, and you need NOT that any man teach you: but as the same ANOINTING (Holy Spirit of Christ) TEACHES you of ALL things, and is TRUTH, and is NO LIE, and even as it had TAUGHT you, ye shall ABIDD in Him. (1 John 2:27; John 16:13-16).

2. You must consciously and humbly LEARN to allow Him (the Holy Spirit) to REVEAL to you the WILL of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World as counselled by Apostle Paul 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 have 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.  Which things also we speak, NOT in the WORDS which MAN'S WISDOM teaches, but which the HOLY SPIRIT teaches; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual. But the NATURAL MAN receiveth 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 had known the MIND of the LORD, that he may instruct Him? But WE have the MIND of CHRIST. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:14-39).

3. You must consciously and humbly LEARN to allow Him (the Holy Spirit) to PRAY in and through you the WILL of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World as counselled by Apostle Paul 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 Corinthians 2:9-16).

4. You must consciously and humbly LEARN to allow Him (the Holy Spirit) to REVEAL to you the WILL of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World as counselled by Apostle Paul thus:

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

This is because Jesus Christ said thus:

Not EVERY ONE that said unto me, Lord, Lord, shall ENTER into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOES the WILL of my Father which is in Heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord have we NOT PROPHESIED in your name? And in your name have CAST out devils? And in your name DONE MANY wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: DEPART from me, you that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:21-23).

Therefore, Apostle Paul revealed to us thus:

Every MAN'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 WORK of what sort it is. If any man's work ABIDE which he had built thereupon, he shall RECEIVE a REWARD. If any man's work shall be BURNED, he shall SUFFER LOSS: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:13-15; John 17:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).

Only the WORKS done on Earth by the WILL of GOD as revealed by the Holy Spirit of Christ in each of us pat time par our individual situation in Christ in this World will be able to WITHSTAND and STAND the FIRE of God and qualify us for a REWARD at last in the sight and side of GOD after all is said and done with your LIFETIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

Therefore, the Bible counsels us thus:

PRAY without ceasing. In every thing GIVE thanks: for this is the WILL of GOD in Christ Jesus CONCERNING you. QUENCH not the SPIRIT. Despise NOT prophesyings. PROVE all things; HOLD FAST to that which is GOOD. (1 Thessalonians 5:17-20; Romans 12:1,2).

Don't be deceived, GOD has His WILL in Christ for you in every area of your life (marriage, career, place of resident, place of worship,l place of work, type of business, who to be in friendship and partnership with, etc) par time par your situation in this World. You need to humbly, passionately and persistently ASK (pray to God in LOVE), SEEK (study in FAITH the Word of God) and KNOCK (fast in HOPE in God's faithfu AMENlness to help you) to REVEAL it and thereafter think, speak and live out in FAITH par time par your situation as revealed to you:

1. To enter and enjoy His REST in Christ for you in this World. True! Take note, heed!

2. To encounter and experience His BEST in Christ for you in this World. True! Take note, heed! (Luke 11:9-13; 1 Corinthians 2:916; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Now, know and note that it is when you think, speak and live in accordance to the WILL of GOD in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World that you are actually WALKING and WORKING in the SPIRIT with GOD in Christ in this World. That is why Jesus Christ said, my food is to do the WILL of Him that sent me and to FINISH His WORK and the Bible reveals to us that as He is, so are we in this World. That is HUMILITY and MEEKNESS at its highest level towards GOD and such pleases GOD and qualifies anyone at such high level in this World for His REWARD now on Earth and in Heaven someday. True! Take note, take heed!  (John 4:33,34; 1 John 4:17; John 17:1-5; Luke 18:18-30; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).

God bless you.

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFIL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST BE IN CHARGE AND CONTROL OF YOUR LUST AND PRIDE!

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFIL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST BE IN CHARGE AND CONTROL OF YOUR LUST AND PRIDE!

Wao, I am amazed by this new revelation that the Spirit of God just dropped in my spirit this morning. Glory be to God in the highest who alone gives revelations that are TRUTHS and TRUE. Praise the Lord!

The Holy Spirit of Christ that is within me remained me this morning that:

1. God in Christ is the ALPHA and the OMEGA. (Revelation 22:12,13).

2. God in Christ is the BEGINNING and the END. (Revelation 1:8).

3. God in Christ is the FIRST and the LAST. (Revelation 1:17).

4. God in Christ is the AUTHOR and the FINISHER. (Hebrews 12:1,2).

And He went further to reveal to me that ALL that happens (good or bad) to you and I as the Children of God in Christ in this World MUST BE BY GOD'S PERMISSION. That is,

1. It must ALPHA with God's permission and OMEGA with God's permission. True!

2. It must BEGIN with God's permission and END with God's permission. True!

3. It must FIRST with God's permission and LAST with God's permission. True!

4. It must AUTHOR with God's permission and FINISH with God's permission. True!

No wonder the Bible counsels and reveals to us thus:

Wherefore LET him that think he STANDS take heed lest he FALL. There has NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is common to man: but GOD is FAITHFUL, who will NOT suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation ALSO make a way to ESCAPE, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:12,13; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Halleluyah!

However, although God will always make a way of ESCAPE for you and I from every TEMPTATION He permitted for us to TRY and TEST our FAITH in Him, you must also know and note that IN BETWEEN every divine BEGINNING (Authored) and END (Finishing line) of a trial and test permitted, you and I are expected to make the right CHOICES and take the right DECISIONS in line with the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you in this World at such time to be seen as FAITHFUL and VICTORIOUS in Christ in the sight of God in Heaven. True! Take note, take heed!

That is why the Bible reveals to us thus:

BLESSED is the man that ENDURES TEMPTATION: for when he is TRIED, he shall RECEIVE the crown of life, which the Lord had promised to them that LOVE Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God CANNOT be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: BUT every man is tempted, when he is DRAWN AWAY of his OWN LUST, and ENTICED. Then when lust had CONCEIVED, it brings forth SIN: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth DEATH. (James 1:12-15; 1 Peter 1:1-9; Romans 8;26-28; 1 John 2:15-17).

Now, it is clear from the above scriptural reference and other Bible passages that God will NOT TEMPT you with evil, but He will PERMIT the TEMPTER, the Devil, to tempt you par time in line with your LUST and PRIDE to see if you will faithfully OBEY or unfaithfully DISOBEY His Word, Ways or Will in Christ for you in this World par time. True! Take note, take heed! (Luke 4:1-21).

Now, know and note that:

1. If you DO NOT allow your LUST and PRIDE to take control and rule over you at your time of TEMPTATION (trial and rest) because you LOVE God and want to truly honour Him (God) in Christ in this World, you are FAITHFUL and VICTORIOUS in the sight of God in Heaven and He (God) will REWARD your faithfulness to Him. True!

The Bible reveals this truth to us 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. Be sober, BE VILIGANT; 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 5:6-10; John 10:1-10; Hebrews 12:1-14).

Temptations (TRIALS and TESTS) permitted by God are meant to PERFECT, ESTABLISH, STRENGTHEN and SETTLE you in Christ in this World on Earth now and are meant to qualify you for Heaven someday as well as to REWARD you there. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Corinthians 12:1-12; Revelation 22:12,13).

That is why the Bible counsels us thus:

My brethren, COUNT it all JOY when you fall into divers TEMPTATION; 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, 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; Hebrews 11).

Do you get it?

Take note, take heed!

2. If you DO allow your LUST and PRIDE to take control and rule over you, you are UNFAITHFUL and DEFEATED in the sight of God in Heaven and He (God) will NOT REWARD your unfaithfulness to Him because you do not love Him, therefore, you dishonored Him at such time. True!

However, as His Child in Christ, He will DISCIPLINE (Chastise) you because of His love for you in Christ, so that next time you will be in CHARGE of yourself to take CONTROL over your LUST and PRIDE and not your lust and pride taking control of you in Christ in this World when you have the Word of God and the Holy Spirit of Christ within you in this World to help you overcome SIN in the area of your lust and pride. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals this truth to 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 consider Him that ENDURED such contradiction of sinners against Himself, LEST you be wearied and faint in your minds. You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto CHILDREN, My son, despise NOT you the CHASTENING of the LORD, nor faint when you art rebuked of Him: 6. For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, and  SCOURGES every son whom He receives. If you ENDURE chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not? But if you be WITHOUT CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are partakers, then are you BASTARDS, and NOT SONS. Furthermore we have had FATHERS of our FLESH which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we NOT much rather be in subjection unto the FATHER of SPIRITS, and LIVE? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for OUR PROFIT, that we might be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it YIELDS the peaceable FRUIT of RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore LIFT UP the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. FOLLOW peace with all men, and holiness, without which NO man shall see the Lord: LOOKING diligently lest any man FAIL of the grace of God; LEST any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; LEST there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. (Hebrews 12:1-17; Hebrews 5:8-10; Luke 18:1-8; Galatians 5:16-26).

Do you get it?

So, consciously and consistently GO for the LOVE of God no matter what:

1. Which means you humbly, sacrificially and selflessly think, speak and live for the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you ONLY par time par your situation in this World. True!

2. Which means you humbly delaying and denying yourself the pleasures of your LUSTS and profits of your PRIDES in this World because you want to please God in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 John 2:15-17; Romans 8:28; Mark 12:28-31; James 4:6-10).

If you do, it is living in HOLINESS (maintaining the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ upon you) before God in this World and He (God) will be pleased with you and faithfully SATISFY YOU with ALL things that pertains to LIFE and godliness that you need in Christ in this World par time. He will ANOINT you with the OIL of GLAD above your fellows in this World. You shall be the head and not the tail. True! Take note, take heed! (Matthew 5:6; Hebrews 1:9; Matthew 6:9,10,24-34; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 Peter 1:13-25; Hebrews 11; 2 Peter 1; Deuteronomy 28).

Do have a SIN FREE weekend.

God bless you.

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST TAKE YOUR CHOICE MAKING AND DECISION TAKING SERIOUSLY!

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST TAKE YOUR CHOICE MAKING AND DECISION TAKING SERIOUSLY!

The Holy Spirit is not yet done with the message on our CHOICE making and DECISION making opportunity or privilege given to us by God in this World as humans currently occupying the Earth.

If you can remember, I informed of the place of your CHOICE making and DECISION taking when the Holy Spirit wrote through me few days ago on using your BRAIN to choose God's option over Satan's option in this World. You can check out that message, if you missed it.

So today, the Holy Spirit is out to teach you through me giving you more reasons:

1. Why should you take your CHOICE making seriously in Christ in this World. That is, why you should always and all-way align your CHOICE making in line with God's Word, Way and Will in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True!

2. Why should you take your DECISION taking seriously in Christ in this World. That is, why you should always and all-way align your DECISION taking in line with God's Word, Way and Will in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True!

This is because as long as you are in this World, you must consciously and consistently understand that:

1.  Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can PITCH you in Christ AGAINST GOD, if they DO NOT align or line up with His Word, Way and Will in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

2. Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can PITCH you in Christ  in FAVOUR with GOD, if they DO align or line up with His Word, Way and Will in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

Furthermore, you must consciously and consistently understand that:

1. Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can take you UPWARD (in favour with God and your folks) par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

2. Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can take you DOWNWARD (in favour with Satan and your foes) par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

3. Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can take you FORWARD (in favour with God and your folks) par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

4. Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can take you BACKWARD (in favour with Satan and your foes) par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

5. Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can take you RIGHTWARD (in favour with God and your folks) par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

6. Your CHOICE making and DECISION taking can take you LEFTWARD (in favour with Satan and your foes) par time par your situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

Always remember that your CHOICE making and DECISION taking determines par time who you will have FAVOUR with. True! The Bible reveals that Jesus Christ have FAVOUR with God and man, not with Satan. True! Take note, take heed! (Luke 2:52).

Therefore,

1. It is your personal RESPONSIBILITY to consciously and consistently STIR UP your divine (sound) MIND of th
e Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in Christ in this World to consciously and consistently make the upward, forward and rightward CHOICE and DECISION par time par your situation that attracts the FAVOUR of GOD and MAN. True! Take note, take heed!

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you STIR UP the gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands. For God has NOT given us the spirit of fear; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND. (2 Timothy 1:6,7; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

2. It is your personal RESPONSIBILITY to consciously and consistently RENEW your human MIND to align with your divine MIND of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in Christ in this World to consciously and consistently make the upward, forward and rightward CHOICE and DECISION par time par your situation that attracts the FAVOUR of GOD and MAN. True! Take note, take heed!

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

And be NOT conformed to this World: but be you transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2).

That is, it is your personal RESPONSILITY to RENEW your  MIND from carnal MINDSET(World driven mindset) to spiritual MINDEDMMMMSET(Word of God driven mindset). True! Take note, take heed! (Romans 8:5-8; Philippians 4:8,9; Colossians 2:8-10).

You may ask, how do you do that?

Apostle Paul again revealed that to us thus:

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).

Deliberately, set out reasonable time to Study, Study and study the Word of God in the Bible and learn to be taught by the Holy Spirit as you study. Be sensitive to His Voice within you as you study. He is the number one best Teacher of the Word of God without errors and lies. (1 John 2:27; John 16:13-16).

Furthermore, Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

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. 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 3:16,17).

That is to say, you have to STUDY the Word of God so much until it RICHLY DWELLS in YOUR MIND in ALL WISDOM:

1. So that in whatsoever you CHOOSE or DECIDE to THINK in THOUGHTS in this World, your BRAIN (intellectual sense) will think in terms of God's WORD, WAY and WILL in Christ for you in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father. True! Take note, take heed!

2. So that in whatsoever you CHOOSE or DECIDEnto SPEAK in WORDS in this World, your TONGUE (speech sense) will speak in terms of God's WORD, WAY and WILL in Christ for you in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father. True! Take note, take heed!

3. So that in whatsoever you CHOOSE or DECIDE to ACT in DEEDS in this World, your VEIN and SKIN (emotions and will senses) will act in terms of God's WORD, WAY and WILL in Christ for you in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father. True! Take note, take heed!

Now know and note that the CHOICES you make and DECISIONS you take par time par your situations are products of the STATE (condition) and STATUS (position) of your MIND par time, your Mind being the first and critical part of your SOUL. True!

Therefore, the Bible counsels us thus:

SEEING you have PURIFIED your SOULS in OBEYING the TRUTH through the SPIRIT unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, NOT of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the WORD of GOD, which lives and abides for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (1 Peter 1:22-25).

It is only the WORD of GOD that repents, converts and renew your SOUL (mind, emotions and will) par time to please God in Christ in this World. Nothing else! (Psalm 19:7-14).

That is why he Bible wishes us thus:

Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER and be in HEATH, even as your SOUL PROSPERS. (3 John 1:2).

Which means that:

1. The STATE (condition) and STATUS (position) of your HEALTH in Christ in this World par time is determined by the prosperity or progressive state and status of your SOUL (MInd, Emotions and Will) par time. True! That is, your HEALTH in Christ par time is determine by HOW MUCH (richly, fairly or poorly) your SOUL (MInd, Emotions and Will) has align with the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

2. The STATE (condition) and STATUS (position) of your WEALTH in this World par time is determine by the prosperity or progressive state and status of your SOUL (MInd, Emotions and Will) par time. True! That is, your WEALTH in Christ is determined by HOW MUCH (richly, fairly or poorly) your SOUL (MInd, Emotions and Will) has align with the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

That is why Apostle Paul timely revealed us thus:

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. (Romans 8:5-8; ColossIans 3:1-4; Hebrews 11:6).

So, taking your CHOICE making and DECISION taking seriously means you first and foremost take your SOUL (MInd, Emotions and Will) spiritual STATE (condition) and STATUS (position) serious, then your CHOICE making and DECISION taking will be right or pleasing to God. That is, making your MIND, which is the gateway or door to your EMOTIONS and WILL to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED, not CARNALLY MINDED. That is, by consciously and consistently aligning your MIND with the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World or by consciously and consistently do not allow it conform to the World's principles, traditions, cultures, trends and ways and manners par time par your situation as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

This is why Apostle Paul timely counselled us thus:

Finally, brethren, 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, and RECEIVED, and HEARD, and SEEN in me, DO: and the GOD of PEACE shall be with you. (Philippians 4:8,9; Colossians 2:8-10).

Do you get it?

It is will interest you to know that in this World, it is only the WORD OF GOD that is true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report. Therefore, it is only the Word of God, you should really THINK on or VIEW all things through in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Psalm 19:7-14; Psalm 119; Joshua 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

Therefore, always remember that what you truly need to FIX YOUR PROBLEMS in this World is FIXING your SOUL (Mind, Emotions and Will) to line up richly in FAITH with the Word, Ways, Will of God in Christ for you in this World, so that you can make upward, forward and rightward CHOICES and DECISIONS that have heaven's supernatural backing to FIX YOUR PROBLEMS to the glory of God. True! Take note, take heed! (3 John 1:2).

God bless you.

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH GOD IN CHRIST WITH A COVENANT MINDSET!

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH GOD IN CHRIST WITH A COVENANT MINDSET!

Unfortunately, these days I hardly hear the word, COVENANT again within the Body of Christ or among genuine Christians. So sad, so bad! So yesterday, the Holy Spirit called my attention to our COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with GOD in CHRIST in this World and I am sent today to remind and inform you about your COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with GOD in CHRIST in this World. So get ready with an open heart and mind to receive from the Lord. God bless you as you do so in Jesus name.

Let me begin by informing you that you must know and understand that:

1. Your God in Christ is a COVENANT GIVING God. That is, a Contract or Agreement giving God. True!

2. Your God in Christ is a COVENANT KEEPING God. That is, a Contract or Agreement keeping God. True! Halleluyah!

Therefore, He said thus:

GATHER my SAINTS together unto ME; THOSE that have made a COVENANT with me by SACRIFICE. (Psalm 50:5).

Therefore, know and note that the word, TESTAMENT means COVENANT and Covenant means AGREEMENT.

This means,

1. We have OLD TESTAMENT as OLD COVENANT (Agreement). True!

2. We have NEW TESTAMENT as NEW COVENANT (Agreement). True!

Now, concerning GOD establishing the NEW TESTAMENT (COVENANT or AGREEMENT) through JESUS CHRIST, the Bible reveals to us thus:

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the SUM: We have such an HIGH PRIEST, who is SET on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the Heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if He were on Earth, He should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, see, said He, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount. But now had He OBTAINED a more EXCELLENT MINISTRY, by how much also He is the MEDIATOR of a BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon BETTER PROMISES. For if that FIRST Covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the SECOND. For FINDING FAULT with them, He said, behold, the days come, said the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: NOT according to the COVENANT that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they CONTINUED NOT in my COVENANT, and I regarded them NOT, said the Lord. For this is the COVENANT that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said the Lord; I will PUT MY LAWS into their MIND, and WRITE them in their HEARTS: and I will BE TO them a GOD, and they shall BE TO me a PEOPLE: And they shall NOT TEACH every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, KNOW the LORD: for ALL shall know me, from the LEAST to the GREATEST. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that He said, A NEW COVENANT, He had made the FIRST OLD. Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away. (Hebrews 8; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 Peter 2:9,10; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 John 2:27).

From the above scriptural passage:

1. You can clearly see that GOD found fault with the FIRST (OLD) COVENANT and established a SECOND (NEW) COVENANT through Jesus Christ with us, who have genuinely believed and received Him (Jesus Christ) as our personal Lord and Savour in this World. A COVENANT (Agreement) that is FAR BETTER with FAR BETTER PROMISES. A Father and Children COVENANT (Relationship). Halleluyah!

2. Again, I want you to keep in mind throughout this write up as stated in the above scriptural reference that God said that He REGARDEDTHEM NOT because they DID NOT CONTINUE in the COVENANT He had with them then and

3. That His mission and expectation in this NEW COVENANT (Agreement) in Christ is putiing His LAWS (Words) in our MINDS and writing it in our HEARTS. This should be your first and foremost goal in your Christian walk and work with God in Christ in this World, the Word of God in your Heart and Mind. True! Take note, take heed!

Now know and note that in every COVENANT (Agreement), there are terms and conditions meant for both parties to fulfill for each part to benefit from the COVENANT (Agreement). Therefore, God from His own side said thus:

My COVENANT will I NOT BREAK, nor ALTER the thing that is gone out of my lips. (Psalm 89:34; Isaiah 55:1-12).

So, from God side, you should expect NO breech (no disappointment) of the COVENANT CONTRACT between Himself and you in Christ in this World. Yes, you should not because He is NOT a man that He should LIE or the son of man that He should REPENT (change). True! If He said it, He will faithfully BRING it to PASS as He has said it in due time. This is because He is FAITHFUL and ABLE to do ALL things He commits Himself to. True! take note, take heed! (Numbers 23:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).

However, remember in Psalm 50:5 He said, GATHER my Saints together unto me; THOSE that have made a COVENANT with me by SACRIFICE. So, what is God saying by this?

God is saying that He is interested ONLY in THOSE who are COMMITTED to Him in Christ in this World by SACRIFICE and that He is going to be COMMITTED to them ONLY in the COVENANT CONTRACT they are with Him in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

That is why Apostle Paul appealed to us 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; Matthew 6:9,10; 1 John 5:14,15).

And further He revealed to us thus:

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 8:28).

From the above scriptural reference, you clearly see that first and foremost your RESONABLE SERVICE unto GOD is to SACRIFICIALLY LIVE HOLY unto GOD in Christ in this World and then follow by you NOT conforming your MIND to the World's way of thinking, but rather to God's way of thinking through RENEWING your MIND with the Word of God, so that you will be able to PROVE par time WHAT is the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. That is ONLY then CAN you encounter and experience TRANSFORMATION in your life and situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Peter 1:13-25).

Therefore, it is surprising to me that many genuine Christians passionately desire to see GOD honour His side of the NEW COVENANT CONTRACT (Agreement) they are in with Him in Christ in this World and

1. Do not want to THINK SACRIFICIALLY in Christ in this World. True!

That is, they DO NOT want to SACRIFICIALLY THINK  in accordance with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for them in this World only. They want to THINK like every other person in this World and still get DIVINE TRANSFORMATIONS (Results) in their lives and situations in Christ in this World. True, but that is NOT possible in God's sight and side in Heaven. Take note, take heed! (Romans 12:1, 2, Philippians 4:8,9).

2. Do not want to SPEAK SACRIFICIALLY in Christ in this World. True!

That is, they DO NOT want to SACRIFICIALLY SPEAK only in accordance with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for them in this World. They want to SPEAK like every other person in this World and still get DIVINE TRANSFORMATIONS (Results) in their lives in Christ in this World. True, but that is NOT possible in God's sight and side in Heaven. Take note, take heed! (Joshua 1:8, 2 Corinthians 4:13).

3. Do not want to LIVE SACRIFICIALLY in Christ in this World. True!

That is, they DO NOT want to SACRIFICIALLY LIVE only in accordance with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for them in this World. They want to LIVE like every other person in this World and still get DIVINE TRANSFORMATIONS (Results) in their lives in Christ in this World. True, but that is NOT possible in God's sight and side in Heaven. Take note, take heed! (Romans 12:1, 2, Philippians 4:8,9).

Even under the OLD COVENANT (Agreement), God revealed to Joshua how he (Joshua) needed to SACRIFICIALLY carry out his own side of the OLD COVENANT CONTRACT, for him (Joshua) to MAKE his own way PROSPEROUS and have GOOD SUCCESS in this World thus:

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you: I will NOT FAIL YOU, nor FORSAKE YOU. This BOOK of the LAW shall NOT depart out of YOUR MOUTH; but you shall MEDITATE therein day and night, that you may OBSERVE to DO according to ALL that is written therein: FOR THEN  you shall MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then you shall have GOID SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:3,5,8).

Although, we now have a FAR BETTER NEW COVENANT (Agreement) with FAR BETTER PROMISES in Christ with GOD, His expectation from us as regard we KEEPING our side of the COVENANT (Agreement) as revealed in the Hebrews 8 and other New Testament pages of the Bible is still same as in Joshua 1:8:

1. His WORD in our HEART and MIND for our MEDITATION night and day to establish our FAITH in Him in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Philippians 4:8,9)..

2. His His WORD in our MOUTH for our CONFESSION night and day to strengthen our FAITH in Him in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (2 Corinthians 4:13).

3. His WORD in our EMOTIONS and WILL for our DOING night and day to promote and prosper our FAITH in Him in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (James 1:22-25).

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

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. 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 3:16,17; Philippians 2:8-11).

Therefore, don't be deceived because you thinking, speaking and living SACRIFICIALLY for God in Christ in this World according to His Word, Ways and Will in Christ for you par time par your situation is VERY NECESSARY and NEEDED in the sight and side of God in Heaven for Him to HONOUR His side of the COVENANT CONTRACT (Agreement) He is in with you in Christ in this World and it PAYS BIG TIME in due time and season of the Lord to think, speak and do so. True! Take note, take heed (Hebrews 6:9-20; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).

Now know and note that the Devil will come after you and against you if you decide to think, speak and live SACRIFICIALLY in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World and you will SUFFER for a while par time par your situation, but the Bible counsels and assures us 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. Be sober, be VILIGANT; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a roaring lion, WALKS about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: Whom RESIST stedfast 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 had 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 5:6-10; Hebrews 4:14-16; James 1:12-15; John 10:1-10).

This means that to be SETTLED (Victorious and Successful) by GOD in Christ from the Devil, Demons and Evil people's wickedness against you through God's Word, Ways and Will in Christ for you in this World:

1. You must by FAITH be conscious of your COVENANT RELATIONSHIP (Contract or Agreement) you are with God in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

2. You must by FAITH be conscious of your side of SACRIFICIAL  RESPONSIBILITIES to the COVENANT (Agreement) and that of God's side of FAITHFUL COMMITMENT to the COVENANT (Agreement) and faithfully do according to yours for Covenant to work in your favour in Christ in this World because God will never fail in His side. Never! True! Take note, take heed!

3. You must by FAITH be conscious of the Devil's desire and schemes to STEAL the WORD from your HEART as revealed by Jesus Christ in Matthew 13:18-23 and His wicked plots to cause you to SUFFER for a while par time par your situation, so that you can GIVE UP on God and His PROMISES in Christ for you, which some are listed in Revelation 5:1-12, Galatians 5:16-26 and 1 Corinthians 12. And you must STEADFASTLY RESIST HIM IN FAITH until God come for you to SETTLE you after you may have SUFFER for a while. True! Take note, take heed!

4. You must by FAITH be conscious with your CHOICE making and DECISION taking par time par your situation in Christ in this World. You must consciously and consistently make sure your choices and decisions aligns with the Word, Way and Will of God for you in Christ par time par your situation in this World as counselled in Romans 12:2; Matthew 6:9,10 and 1 John 5:14, 15. True! Take note, take heed!

5. You must by FAITH be conscious to think, speak and live by FAITH daily in terms of the inspired Word, Ways and Will of God by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in Christ in this World without GIVING UP or DRAWING BACK to the World as counselled in Hebrews 10:35-39.

If you do as stated above, you will never MISS God's REST and BEST in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World based on the NEW COVENANT (Agreement) He is with you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

Finally, no doubt there are divine HOPE and HELP in Christ for you par time par your situation to address any of your HUMAN CHALLENGES in this World, but you have to think, speak and live SACRIFICIALLY from the ways and manners of the World as one of the Saints of God in Christ in World to keep your side of the COVENANT DEAL you have with God in Christ in this World, then will GOD FAITHFULLY honour His part of the COVENANT DEAL and distinguish you in Christ in this World. (Hebrews 4:14-16; Colossians 1:26,27; Colossians 2:8-10; Hebrews 1:9; Hebrews 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

If you consciously, SACRIFICIALLY and consistently KEEP by FAITH your side of the NEW COVENANT (Contract o Agreement) you have with God in Christ in this World, you will always encounter and experience VICTORIES in your life and situation par time over the Devil, Demons, Evil minded people in this World. That is my personal TESTIMONY. True! However, if you do not, you will encounter and experience DEFEAT. True! This is because victory and defeat are deeply and highly SPIRITUAL EVENTS based on whether you sacrificially and faithfully KEEP or BREAK the COVENANT of God with you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 John 5:4,5; 1 John 5:18-21).

God bless you

IF YOU DESIRE TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR SPIRITUAL STATE AND STATUS WITH CHRIST!

IF YOU DESIRE TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR SPIRITUAL STATE AND STATUS WITH CHRIST!

I discovered that many genuine Christians are not aware that if they want to DISCOVER and FULFILL their DIVINE DESTINY (Life Purpose) in Christ in this World, they have to consciously and consistently HOLD ON to their spiritual STATE (condition) and STATUS (position) with CHRIST before God in Heaven in their minds and confessions at all times. True! So sad, so bad! (Romans 8:26-39).

The above truth became necessary for every genuine Christians to know and practice because Satan, demons and witches and wizards will always come after any genuine Child of God who wants to live for God powerfully and purposefully in Christ in this World, to DECEIVE and DENY him or her his or her SPIRITUAL RIGHTS with CHRIST before God in Heaven that are to enable him or her supernaturally survive, thrive, succeed and progress in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

That is why Apostle Paul before now counselled us 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. (Ephesians 6: 10-12).

Also that is why Apostle Peter counselled us thus:

Be SOBER, be VILIGANT; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a roaring lion, WALKS about, SEEKING whom he may devour: Whom RESIST stedfast in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. (1 Peter 5:8,9; John 10:10).And

But, how can you be STRONG in the LORD and the POWER of His MIGHT to RESIST in steadfast FAITH, the Devil, demons and demonized human (witches and wizards) in this World, when you do NOT consciously and consistently KNOW your spiritual STATE (condition) and STATUS (position) with CHRIST before God in Heaven, who is the ultimate and final JUDGE of all matters both in Heaven, on Earth and beneath the Earth? How? (Romans 8:28-39).

The Bible reveals that it is only those who KNOW their GOD that will be STRONG enough to do EXPLOITS in Christ this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Daniel 11:32).

Now know and note that because you have genuinely believed and received JESUS CHRIST as your personal Lord and Saviour in this World, your human SPIRIT has being supernaturally joined to be ONE with the SPIRIT of Christ. True! Therefore, the Bible says that as He is, so are WE (you and I) in this World. Halleluyah! (1 Corinthians 6:17; 1 John 4:17).

Therefore, you must be aware and always conscious in Christ in this World that:

1. You are JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, YOU have become an adopted bonafide CHILD (heir) of God in Christ in this World. Halleluyah! What a privilege! True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

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. (Romans 8:15-17; Galatians 4:1-7; 1 John 3:1-10).

2. You are CRUCIFIED, DEAD and BURIED with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, when Jesus Christ was crucified, YOU were also crucified as well. Halleluyah! However, practically now, you are to be conscious that you are CRUCIFIED, you are DEAD and BURIED your FLESH (with its AFFECTIONS and LUSTS) with CHRIST, hence not to consciously, lustfully and pridefully SIN against God in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

What shall we say then? Shall we CONTINUE in SIN, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are DEAD to SIN, live any longer therein? Know you NOT, that so many of us as were BAPTIZED into Jesus Christ were BAPTIZED into His DEATH? Therefore we are BURIED with Him by BAPTISM into DEATH: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been PLANTED together in the likeness of His DEATH, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our OLD MAN is CRUCIFIED with HIM, that the BODY of SIN might be destroyed, that HENCEFORTH we should NOT serve SIN. For he that is DEAD is freed from SIN. Now if we be DEAD with CHRIST, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He lives, He lives unto God. (Romans 6:1-10Colossians 2:20-22; Galatians: 5. 24-26; Galatians 2:20; 1 John 2:15-17).

3. You are HIDDEN with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, YOU are also INSIDE Christ as well. However, practically now, YOU are to be conscious that you are DEAD and have NO LIFE of your own to live on Earth, except that of CHRIST that is to be LIVED THROUGH you on Earth. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

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 3:3,4; John 14:1-21).

That is why Apostle Paul boldly and wisely declared thus:

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet NOT I, but CHRIST lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20).

4. You are QUICKENED, RISEN and SITTING together with CHRIST in the heavenly places before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, when God quickened and raised Jesus Christ from the grave and sitted Him in the heavenly places, YOU also wereamen quickened and raised from the dead and sitted together with Him in the heavenly places as well. Halleluyah! However, practically now, you are to SET your LOVE on those things above, NOT to lustfully and pridefully on those things on the Earth and SEEK only those things above, where CHRIST sits at the right of God. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, had QUICKENED us together with CHRIST, (by grace you are saved;) And had RAISED us up TOGETHER, and made us SIT together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 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 had before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:4-10).

Also,

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. (Colossians 3:1,2; Colossians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Matthew 6:9,10; 1 John 2:15-17).

5. You will SUFFER and be GLORIFIED with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, YOU will certainly SUFFER something in this World for CHRIST'S SAKE and then be GLORIFIED with Him as well. That is, you will certainly carry an ordained CROSS (go through some challenging tests, trials, persecutions, sufferings, etc in this World) like Christ did when He was physically living on the Earth before you will be GLORIFIED together with Him by God. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

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 waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:16-19, 26-39).

Also,

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will COME AFTER me, LET him DENY himself, and TAKE UP his CROSS, and FOLLOW me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for MY SAKE shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole World, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to His works. (Matthew 16:24-27; Matthew 10:16-42).

6. You will LIVE with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, since you DIED with CHRIST, you are LIVING with HIM (Christ) now and will LIVE with HIM after your exit from the Earth through death. Halleluyah! True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

For though He was crucified through weakness, yet He lives by the Power of God. For WE also are weak in Him, but WE shall LIVE with HIM by the POWER of GOD toward you. (2 Corinthians 13:4; Romans 6:8; 2 Corinthians 4:7; Ephesians 3:20; 1 John 4:17).

Also,

Who died for us, that, whether we WAKE or SLEEP, we should LIVE together with HIM. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do. (1 Thessalonians 5:10,11).

7. You have FELLOWSHIP with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, it only when you WALK in the LIGHT (in accordance with the Word of God in Christ) in this World you have FELLOWSHIP with CHRIST. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with HIM, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7. 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 cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:6,7; 1 John 4:17).

Also,

In the beginning was the Word, and the WORD was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was LIFE; and the life was the LIGHT of men. And the LIGHT shines in DARKNESS; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:1-5; John 3:15-21).

8. You will APPEAR with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that mean?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, YOU will appear in glory when Christ finally appear at last. Do yynot be among the disapproved ones. Halleluyah! True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

When Christ, WHO is our LIFE, shall appear, then shall you also APPEAR with HIM in glory. (Colossians 3:4).

9. You will REIGN with CHRIST before the eyes of God in Heaven. True!

What does that means?

It means that as a JOINT-HEIR with CHRIST because of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World or joined to be ONE with your human SPIRIT at your genuine moment of Salvation (Born Again) in this World, YOU will not only appear with Christ in glory YOU will also REIGN with Him. Halleluyah! What a privilege? True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals to us this gospel truth thus:

It is a faithful saying: For if we be DEAD with Him, we shall also LIVE with Him: If we SUFFER, we shall also REIGN with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us: If we believe not, yet He abides faithful: He cannot deny Himself. (2 Timothy 2:11-13).

If you truly desire to see God in your LIFE and SITUATION and if you sincerely desire to discover and fulfill your DIVINE DESTINY in Christ in this World, ALL the very important spiritual information provided above must ENTER into your SPIRIT (inner) man as TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH. True! Take ote, take heed!

Now,

1. They must enter enough into your SPIRIT (inner) man to AWAKEN your SOUL (mind, emotions and will) consciously to your spiritual reality with CHRIST before God in Heaven or become your unwavering MINDSET of YOURSELF in Christ in this World that drives your THINKING, FEELINGS and DESIRE in Christ in this World and

2. They must enter enough into your SPIRIT (inner) man to QUICKEN your BODY (five senses) in Christ in this World to drive your SPEAKING and ACTIONS in Christ in this World.

Now,

1. That is, if you want to encounter and experience divine VICTORIES and SUCCESSES in Christ for you in this World according to the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you in this World:

2. That is, if you truly want to enter and enjoy divine REST and BEST of God in Christ for you in this World according to the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True!

3. That is if you truly want to live in divine HEALTH and HAPPILY in Christ in this World according to the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True!

4. That is, if you truly want to discover and fulfill your DIVINE DESTINY in Christ in this World according to the Word, Way and Will of God in Christ for you in this World.  True!

Take note, take heed because as JESUS CHRIST is, so YOU are in this World as revealed in 1 John 4:17. Therefore, your FAITH should be based on WHO Jesus Christ is and WHAT He has accompanied for you before the sight of God in Heaven on your behalf. Therefore, you are only truly RUNNING your RACE WELL in this World before the sight of God when you are running it as Jesus Christ had ran and obtained for you  through His suffering, crucifixion, death and resurrection on your behalf before God in Heaven. Therefore, 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. (Hebrews 12:1,2).

God bless you.

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST LEARN TO HUMBLY ALIGN YOUR BRAIN TO CHOOSE GOD'S OPTIONS PAR TIME!

IF YOU WANT TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST LEARN TO HUMBLY ALIGN YOUR BRAIN TO CHOOSE GOD'S OPTIONS PAR TIME!

Last week Friday, I was sent to inform you of one of the fundamental causes of STRUGGLES, SUFFERINGS and SORROWS in the lives of majority of genuine Christians in this World. I informed you that many Christians do NOT consciously, carefully and consistently GUIDE themselves from the SNARES (deceitful and manipulative traps) set by the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people (who lives with them as family and Church members, neighbours, friends, colleagues, etc) for them daily is one of the reasons many genuine Christians struggles, suffers and sorrow in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad! Today by the grace of God, I am sent to inform you of another reason for the struggling, suffering and sorrowing of many genuine Christians in Christ in this World, so be open to receive in Jesus name. God bless you!

Now, lets begin. I have heard people and read from books that God gave us BRAIN (intellectual sense), so that we DO NOT DISTURB Him in this World or be SELF-DRIVEN (determining our own place, plans, purposes, priorities, programs, prosperity, paces, etc) in this World. That is a LIE from the Devil. So sad, so bad!

Though God designed and created us FREE MORAL beings who can make CHOICES and take DECISIONS on our own, the above line of thought is still NOT true because the Bible does not support it. True! But rather the Bible counsels us thus:

TRUST in the LORD with ALL thine heart; and lean NOT unto your OWN understanding. In ALL your ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him, and He shall DIRECT your paths. Be NOT wise in your OWN eyes: FEAR the LORD, and DEPART from evil. It shall be HEALTH to your navel, and marrow to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5-8; 3 John 1:3; Romans 12:1,2)

Also, the Bible states thus:

There are MANY devices in a man's heart; NEVERTHELESS the counsel of the LORD, that shall STAND. (Proverbs 19:21).

Do you not think that it is wiser and smarter to SEEK the COUNSEL of the Lord who designed, created and owned the Heaven and the Earth and all that are in them (including you and I) than running your life on your own TERMS and CONDITIONS or on the World's PERSPECTIVES and PRINCIPLES? For me, I think it is wiser and smarter to get God's WORD, WAY and WILL in Christ for me par time par my situation than relying on my OWN or the World's wisdom. True! Take note, take heed! (Colossians 2:8-10).

Unfortunately, the belief that God has given us BRAIN (intellectual sense) to SELF-DRIVE ourselves (determining our own place, plans, purposes, priorities, programs, prosperity, paces, etc) in this World has cause a lots of genuine Christians to shipwreck (fail and fall) in the sea of life. True! So sad, so bad! (Matthew 7:24-27).

The truth to be told, you and I's BRAIN (intellectual sense) is too limited, especially after the great fall of humanity at the Garden of Eden, to determine the course of our lives on the Earth. In fact the, the Bible states that there is a way which seems RIGHT to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of DEATH. True, our human BRAIN (intellectual sense) is too SHALLOW to determine the DEEP things of God in Christ for each of us in this World. Therefore, you and I as humans must humbly accept our low thoughts and ways of our  BRAIN (intellectual sense) as compared to God's higher thoughts and ways to ENTER and ENJOY His higher thoughts and ways in Christ for each of us in this World to encounter and experience supernatural BLISS and BLESSINGS in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Proverbs 14:12; Proverbs 16:25; Isaiah 55:7-12; Joshua 1:8).

The Bible confirm this truth when it states thus:

But as it is written, EYES 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 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).

From the Biblical point of view, God does NOT expect us to be SELF-DRIVEN (determining our own place, plans, purposes, priorities, programs, prosperity, paces, etc) in this World because He has given us BRAIN (intellectual sense), but instead He wants us to be HIS SPIRIT DRIVEN (determining His own place, plans, purposes and priorities) in Christ for us in this World. True! However, He (God) has given each of us BRAIN (intellectual sense) in other for each of us to be able to FREELY CHOOSE between His good, acceptable and perfect option that He offering us in Christ in this World over what the Devil is offering us in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

That is why Moses declared before the Children of Israel thus:

I call Heaven and Earth to record this day against you, that I have SET before you LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and CURSING: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both you and your seed may LIVE: That you may LOVE the LORD your God, and that you may OBEY His VOICE, and that you may cleave unto Him: for He is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. (Deuteronomy 30:19,20; John 10:1-10).

Likewise, Joshua declared before them thus:

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, CHOOSE you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15).

And Jesus Christ in due time as well requested 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; Hebrews 4:16).

Likewise, Apostle Paul appealed to us thus:

Seeing then that WE HAVE a great High Priest, that is passed into the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore COME boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may OBTAIN mercy, and FIND grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:14-16).

Therefore, I repeat that God gave us BRAIN (intellectual sense) not for us to use it to SELF-DRIVE ourselves (determining our own place, plans, purposes, priorities, programs, prosperity, paces, etc) in this World, but rather to CHOOSE between HIM (and what He is offering us in Christ in this World) and DEVIL (and what he is offering us in this World). While in Genesis 3, the Devil offered his bad option to Adam and Eve, which they bought into and CHOOSE instead of God's good option for them and got  humanity into serious trouble with God, in Luke 4, the wicked old Devil again offered his bad option to JESUS CHRIST who God has ordained and anointed to pay for humanity's SIN, but to the glory of God, Jesus Christ consciously and consistently CHOOSE God's option over the Devil's evil option and SAVED humanity from further trouble with God and the Bible reveals to us in 1 John 4:17 that as Jesus Christ is, so are we in this World. Therefore, we must consciously and consistently NURTURE and MATURE our BRAIN (intellectual sense) to CHOOSE God's (GOOD) options in Christ in this World over the Devil's (BAD) options in this World daily and this what Apostle Paul explained as SPIRITUAL MATURITY thus:

For when for the time you OUGHT to be teachers, you have NEED that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have NEED of milk, and NOT of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the Word of righteousness: for he is a BABE. But strong meat belongs to them that are of FULL AGE, even those who BY REASON of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both GOOD and EVIL. (Hebrews 5:12-14).

That is why Apostle Paul further counselled us 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 ye may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of God. (Romans 12:1,2)

This is because the more your BRAIN (intellectual sense) is NOT CONFORM to the perspectives, principles and ways and manners of the World, but rather RENEW in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World, the more CHANCES you have CHOOSEING God's (good, acceptable and perfect) options for you in Christ in this World over the Devil's (bad, unacceptable and imperfect) options for you in this World. That is, the lesser your CHOICE making and DECISION taking will not go wrong or not in line with the Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True! Take more, take heed! (1 John 2:15-17; Colossians 2:8-10; Ecclesiastes 9:11).

Now, if you carefully go through the Bible, you will discover lots of places where God inspired us to do away with human and other forms of wisdoms of the World. And the Bible gives us a reason for God's instruction thus:

Because the FOOLISHNESS of GOD is WISER than men; and the WEAKNESS of GOD is STRONGER than men. For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God has CHOSEN the foolish things of the World to confound the wise; and God has CHISEN the weak things of the World to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the World, and things which are despised, had God CHOSEN, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That NO flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:25-31; 1 Corinthians 3:16-20; 1 Corinthians 1:17-24).

The truth to be told, if you want to SERVE and FOLLOW God with human BRAIN (intellectual sense), you will MISS Him big time and be discouraged and disappointed in Christ in this World. This is because in Christ, we WALK by FAITH (unseen), not by SIGHT (seen) to please GOD and get His Word and Will in Heaven to be done on Earth for us in Christ in this World. That is, to get His promises fulfilled in our lives in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Hebrews 10:38,39; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 11; Hebrews 6:12).

In fact, the Bible stated it boldly that those who are JUSTIFIED in Christ by God in this World  must LIVE by FAITH in Christ in this World. And the truth to be told, FAITH is FOOLISHNESS before the people of the World who uses their human BRAIN (intellectual sense), but WISDOM to God and genuine people of God who uses their divine BRAIN (intellectual sense) of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within each of them in Christ in this World. True! (Pls read 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:1-9; 14,26-28; Hebrews 11).

We are instructed to LIVE BY FAITH in Christ in this World because God's WAYS and THOUGHTS are far from ours as humans and we cannot with our human BRAIN (intellectual sense) truly understand Him and His reasons behind many of His Words, Ways, Wills and Works for us in Christ par time in this World. Therefore, we are instructed to BELIEVE Him even when our limited human BRAIN (intellectual sense) cannot understand Him. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:

SEEK you the LORD while he may be found, CALL you upon Him while He is NEAR: Let the wicked FORSAKE his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him RETURN unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For my THOUGHTS are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my WAYS, said 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. For you shall go out with joy, and be LED forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:6-12).

Do you get it?

In fact, Jesus Christ reveals to us thus:

Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall NOT receive the kingdom of God as a little CHILD, he shall NOT enter therein. (Mark 10:15).

Don't be deceived, only those who are CHILDREN (humble) at HEART and HEAD (brain) truly can serve and follow God and truly get His REST and BEST in Christ in this World. ADULTS (proud) in HEART and HEAD (brain) cannot and will never until they become CHILDREN (humble). True! Take note, the note!

The Bible confirms thus truth 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).

It will interest you to know and note that until you consciously and consistently become a CHILD (humble) at HEART and HEAD (brain) before God in Christ in this World in terms of aligning your HEART  and HEAD (brain) RESIST the Devil because he will not FLEE from you when you are PROUD like him. Never! He will stay with you because he is author and father of all proud beings, be it rebellious spirit beings (fallen angels) or disobedient humans. True! Take note, take heed!

The Bible confirms this truth thus:

But He gives MORE grace. Wherefore He said, God RESISTS the PROUD, but GIVES grace unto the HUMBLE. SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the Devil, and he will FLEE from you. DRAW near to God, and He will DRAW near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and PURIFY your hearts, you DOUBLE MINDED. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. HUMBLE yourselves in the SIGHT of the Lord, and He shall LIFT you up. (James 4:6-10; James 1:5-8).

I repeat, we are NOT to USE and FOLLOW our human BRAIN (intellectual sense) to run the affairs of our lives in Christ in this World, but to USE and FOLLOW our divine BRAIN (intellectual sense) by daily hearing and heeding to the tutorship, instructions and leadership of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within each of us in Christ in this World. Our human BRAIN (intellectual sense) is given to us by God to KNOW and CHOOSE between God and His good options in Christ for us this World and the Devil and his bad options for us in this World. True! Take note, take heed!

You must not be deceived, because  the belief that our human BRAIN (intellectual sense) is given to us to SELF-DRIVE (determining our own place, plans, purposes, priorities, programs, prosperity, paces, etc) ourselves in this World, so that we do not DISTURB God makes what Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul and Apostle John said below to be LIES and that is NOT possible:

1. 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).

2. Howbeit when he, the SPIRIT of TRUTH, is come, He will GUIDE you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will SHOW you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. (John 16:13,14).

3. 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)

4. For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 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 8:14,26-28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

5. But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit of Christ) which you have received of Him abides in you, and you need NOT that any man teach you: but as the same ANOINTING (Holy Spirit of Christ) TEACHES you of ALL things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, you shall ABIDE in Him. (1 John 2:27).

Do you notice that the fourth scriptural verse above reveals that ALL things WORK together for GOOD for them that LOVE God and are the called according to His PURPOSE (WILL), not ours? Ttherefore, we are to PRESENT our human BODY, a living SACRIFICE, holy and accepted unto God as our REASONABLE SERVICE unto Him, not conforming to this World, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing our MIND, so that we will be able to PROVE what is the good, acceptable and perfect WILL (PURPOSE) of GOD for us par time par our situation in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Romans 12:1,2).

Do you get it?

In fact, LEARNING how to selflessly and sacrificially SEPARATE yourself from the ways and manners and principles of the World to ALIGN your human BRAIN (intellectual sense) to the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World is the one and only SECRET to divine REST and BEST in Christ in this World. True! It is the one and only way to make your way prosperous and to have good SUCCESS in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Colossians 2:8:10; ; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

Finally, brethren, 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, and RECEIVED, and HEARD, and SEEN in me, do: and the GOD of PEACE shall be with YOU. (Philippians 4:8,9; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Psalm 19:7-14).

Don't be deceived, you are ONLY truly using your human BRAIN (intellectual sense) WISELY in this World in the sight of God, if you are daily aligning it to His Word, Ways and Will in Christ for you in this World, thinking, speaking and doing things the way He has taught, inspired, instructed and lead you to think, speak and act par time par your situation. True! Take note, take heed!

Oh, how easy it is for us to school our human BRAIN (intellectual sense) to think, speak and act professionally in line with our individual physical VOCATION and do not want to school our human BRAIN (intellectual sense) to think, speak and act spiritually in line with our spiritual VOCATION, Christianity practice in this World. Oh how easy!

Now,

1. We must all realise that to be CARNALLY MINDED (to have the Word of the World driven mindset) is DEATH and to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED (to have the Word of God driven mindset) is LIFE and PEACE in Christ in this World because the canal BRAIN (intellectual sense) cannot please and never will it, but only the spiritual BRAIN (intellectual sense) of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within each of us in this World does. (Romans 8:1-9).

2. We must all let the Word of Christ dwell RICHLY in each of us in ALL wisdom, so that in every thing we think, speak and do, we THINK, SPEAK and DO in the name of Jesus to the glory of God. True! Take note, take heed! (Colossians 3:16,17).

3. We must all be conscious that as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this World, therefore, let this MIND be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. We are to model our thoughts, words and actions in line with that of Christ revealed in the Bible. That is God's first and foremost reason for saving and calling us out of the World. True! (Philippians 2:5; Romans 8:29,30).

We are to CHOOSE God's Word, Ways, Will, Worth, Walk, Work and Wealth in Christ for each of us in this World above any other. True! Take note, take heed!

Welcome to a new week of aligning your BRAIN (intellectual sense) for divine RESULTS.

God bless you.
