Before I begin proper, let me timely remind and inform you that as you willingly, sacrificially and obediently align your LIFE in terms of your THOUGHTS, WORDS and ACTIONS (choices and decisions) to the WORD, WILL and WAY of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World, you are also aligning your LIFE to the VISION of God in Christ for you vis-à-vis you are aligning your LIFE for divine SETTLEMENT (consolation and compensation) in Christ for you in this World now and in the World to come. True! Take note, take heed!
Now, lets begin like this that the Bible in Romans 12:1 reveals to us who are in Christ in this World that we are LIVING SACRIFICES in Christ to God in this World who are to sacrificially think, speak and live SEPARATELY from the people of the World in HOLINESS unto God. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Peter 1:14-17; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 Peter 2:5,9,10).
Now,
1. As LIVING SACRIFICES in Christ in this World, I discovered that many genuine Christians still find it difficult to willingly, sacrificially and obediently THINK in accordance to the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for them in this World because they consciously or unconsciously do not believe that God will faithfully SETTLE them on Earth now and in Heaven someday in due time for their FAITHFULNESS to Him in Christ in this World. Therefore, they prefer instead to THINK like the people of the World. So sad, so bad!
However, don't be deceived, having the thinking pattern or mindset of the people of the World CANNOT get you the divine RESULTS you so desire in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
This is why the Bible counsels us thus:
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 12:2; Philippians 4:8,9; Colossians 2:8-10; 1 John 2:15-17).
Take note, take heed!
2. As LIVING SACRIFICES in Christ in this World, I discovered that many genuine Christians still find it difficult to willingly, sacrificially and obediently SPEAK in accordance to the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for them in this World because they consciously or unconsciously do not believe that God will faithfully SETTLE them on Earth now and in Heaven someday in due time for their FAITHFULNESS to Him in Christ in this World. Therefore, they prefer instead to SPEAK like the people of the World. So sad, so bad!
However, don't be deceived, having the speaking pattern or language of the people of the World CANNOT get you the divine RESULTS you so desire in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
This is why the Bible counsels us thus:
DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18: 21; James 3).
Also,
Be not deceived: EVIL COMMUNICATIONS corrupt good manners. (1 Corinthians 15:33).
Take note, take heed!
3. As LIVING SACRIFICES in Christ in this World, I discovered that many genuine Christians still find it difficult to willingly, sacrificially and obediently LIVE in accordance to the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for them in this World because they consciously or unconsciously do not believe that God will faithfully SETTLE them on Earth now and in Heaven someday in due time for their FAITHFULNESS to Him in Christ in this World. Therefore, they prefer instead to LIVE like the people of the World. So sad, so bad!
However, don't be deceived, having the living pattern or lifestyle of the people of the World CANNOT get you the divine RESULTS you so desire in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
This is why the Bible counsels 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. (Romans 12:1; 1 Peter 1:14-17).
Take note, take heed!
Now, I am sent today to let you know and note that:
1. GOD is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your labour of love. God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to do that. Therefore, the Bible reveals us thus:
For God is not unrighteous TO FORGET your work and LABOUR OF LOVE, which you have showed toward HIS NAME, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (Hebrews 6:10; Colossians 3:16,17).
Also,
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, ALWAYS abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that YOUR LABOUR is NOT IN VAIN in the Lord.
True! Take note, take heed!
2. GOD is not UNRIGHTEOUS to allow you suffer par time in this World as you daily face Satan's attack through humans and sacrificially take a stand to obey and glorify His name in Christ in this World. God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to do that. Therefore, the Bible reveals 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 VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom RESIST steadfast in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who 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; John 10:10).
True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, know and note that it is a MOCKERY to GOD in this World, for you to SOW (sacrificially think, speak and live for Him - God) in Christ in this World and not be SETTLED by Him (God) in due time on Earth now and in Heaven someday. Yes, it is! Therefore, the Bible encourages us thus:
Be not deceived; God is NOT mocked: for whatsoever a man SOWS, that shall he also REAP. For he that sows TO HIS FLESH shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows TO THE SPIRIT shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6: 7,8).
This is why when Apostle Peter asked Jesus Christ a DIVINE SETTLEMENT QUESTION thus, Jesus Christ did not rebuke him like many today will expect Him to do,but rather He gave him assurance of divine settlement both in this World now and the World to come:
Then Peter said, Lo, we have LEFT ALL, and FOLLOWED you. And He said unto them, verily I say unto you, there is NO man that hath LEFT house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD'S SAKE, Who shall NOT RECEIVE manifold more in this present time, and in the World to come life everlasting. (Luke 18:28-30).
Therefore, don't be deceived, there is ALWAYS a divine SETTLEMENT in due time to every of your SACRIFICE and OBEDIENCE to the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in Christ in this World. It is only that many times, you cannot humanly connect why certain things FAVOURABLY happen to you or happens in your favour. Many times, it is God faithfully REWARDING your FAITHFULNESS to Him sometimes back. True! Take note, take heed!
This is why the Bible reveals to us thus:
If you be WILLING and OBEDIENT, you shall eat the good of the land: But if ye REFUSE and REBEL, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD had spoken it. (Isaiah 1: 19,20).
Also,
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).
Also,
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 shalt MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then you shall have GOOD SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Psalm 19:7-14).
True! Take note, take heed!
Now, because many genuine Christians are NOT aware of the above truth on divine SETTLEMENT (consolation and compensation), many DO NOT request that God SETTLE them for willing and sacrificially OBEYING His Word, Will or Ways in Christ for them par time par their situation in this World. And that was not JESUS CHRIST style. True! The Bible reveals that after He has done the Will of God for Him on Earth by finishing His Work He sent Him to do for Him on Earth, He requested from God His Father thus:
These Words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to Heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; GLORIFY your Son, that your Son also may glorify you: As you had given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as you had given Him. And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you had sent. I have GLORIFIED you on the Earth: I have FINISHED the work which you gave me to do. And now, O Father, GLORIFY you me with your own self with the GLORY which I had with you before the world was. (John 17: 1-5; John 4:33,34).
That was Jesus Christ in above scriptural verses asking God for divine SETTLEMENT (consolation and compensation) for doing and finishing His divine responsibility on Earth and God the Father faithfully did settled Him by making Him to sit at His Right Hand of His gracious and glorious throne in Heaven. Hallelujah!
Therefore, don't be DISCOURAGED and don't be DECEIVED, there is always a divine SETTLEMENT (consolation and compensation) on Earth now and in Heaven someday for you too on every thing you willingly, sacrificially and obediently do to please GOD in Christ in this World. True! Take
This is why 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).
Jesus Christ focusing on receiving a divine SETTLEMENT (consolation and compensation) encouraged Him to endured His challenges and we in Him in this World are asked to emulate Him. Will you? because I am
Therefore, never you think or be told, there is NO divine SETTLEMENT (consolation and compensation) in Christ for you after you have willingly and sacrificially OBEYED the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World. Never you!
Now, if you go through the Bible from the story of Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Ruth, David, Esther, Daniel to Jesus Christ, His disciples, Apostle Paul, etc, you will see God SETTLING those who are faithful enough to willingly, sacrificially and obediently keep to His Word, Will and Way for them in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, the Bible says to us thus:
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11: 6).
Yes, GOD is a REWARDER. Therefore, you are thinking, speaking and living wise and smart in Christ in this World:
1. When you allow your thoughts, words and actions (choices and decisions) to PLEASE Him daily because of your LOVE for Him. True! (Mark 12:28-31; Romans 8:28).
2. When you allow your thoughts, words and actions (choices and decisions) to PLEASE Him daily because of His divine SETTLEMENT to those that stays faithful to His Word, Will and Way in Christ for them par time par their situation in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
This is why Apostle Paul revealed to us thus:
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the FATHER of MERCIES, and the GOD of ALL COMFORT; Who comforts us in ALL OUR TRIBULATION, that we MAY BE ABLE to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. (2 Corinthians 1: 3,4).
Now, know and note that many times, you will look FOOLISH or STUPID in the eyes of people for making CHOICES and taking DECISIONS that favour the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for you par time par your situation in this World, but don't worry, stay STRONG because God will NOT leave you looking foolish or stupid to people. True! He will faithfully in due time TURN your seemly foolishness or stupid actions (choices and decisions) to wise ones before their very eyes that will make them join you to celebrate. He will silent your accusers. This is my own testimony to the glory of God. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
Therefore, the Bible encourages us thus:
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that GOES FORTH and WEEPS, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless COME AGAIN with REJOICING, bringing his sheaves with him. (Psalm 126:5,6; Isaiah 54). Hallelujah!
Also,
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. For he that SOWS TO HIS FLESH shall of the FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; but he that SOWS TO THE SPIRIT shall of the SPIRIT REAP LIFE EVERLASTING. And let us NOT be weary in well doing: for IN DUE SEASON we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6: 7-10).
Take note, take heed!
For me, the Lord spoke to me clearly that the month of August is a month of DIVINE SETTLEMENT (consolation or compensation) for me. Therefore, by love, faith and hope, I extend it to you in Jesus name.
Therefore, welcome to your month of divine SETTLEMENT (consolation and compensation) in Jesus name.
God bless you.
