The Right Mark

THE RIGHT MARK
PSALM 130:3
If thou, Lord , shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

Pondering upon the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that gave us a new life of righteousness, the understanding of having his mark upon us each time came to lime light.

It is enough to have committed a sin, transgression or inquiries of any form, but carrying the mark of the one that is justified should last a lifetime.

Saul who became Apostle Paul identified the grace of this justified life, he said: from henceforthlet no man trouble me for I bear in my body the marks of Jesus Christ. Galatians 6:17

We can stop our way of transgress but we cannot stop or erase the eternal peace of God, you cannot stop having it. When God comes in, into an inequalities of transgress or find an impurity to be removed, he replaced them with the mark of a new creation.

The Word of God say old things are passed for a new creature, it mean the old life stopped and the new life rolls on till eternal.

So, God do not want to take attendance of iniquities or do a sampling of those who have their bodies mark with sins. He want to see us carry the mark of Jesus.

When we bear God’s mark of Jesus Christ then we can be in good standing on the last day at the judgement throne when we shall see God.

If you haven’t the mark of Jesus, made by his blood, it is never too late. Just say I forsake my transgressions and I become new in Christ.

The right mark is now on you!

#Affirmation: I ain’t the old one, I have a new life, I am justified through Christ. I bear in my body the marks of Jesus and I am not troubled. Thank you Jesus!

STRONG GOD, STRONG YOU.

17-FEBRUARY-2016.
*STRONG GOD, STRONG YOU!
*Ephesians 6:10
And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. (MSG).

The state of a man’s ability, how strong or weak he is, is a very critical thing to always keep abreast of. A line in Proverbs 24:10 says: if you faint in times of adversity, your strength is small. This shows that small strength is weakness and it contradicts what a man’s ability is or must carry and thereby making him to faint.

We faint everyday we fail to put out strength to use, fainting is even though not falling everyday of someone’s life but not being able to stand in just one day when the strength is needed.

Paul talks about days of adversities when strength alone can take us beyond and above the faint-status as he paraphrased in the 11th verse of Ephesians saying:
‘… take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way.’ give the knowing that man made by God can only draw strength from God his maker to overcome adversaries and their challenges.

God’s strength is able to take us through to come alive out of the life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

So embrace the unfailing strength of God because he wants you strong as he is.

#Declaration: As God is on the throne in heaven, I set myself on the throne on this earth, and I bring down the strength of heaven to fight, win and dominate over challenges and adversaries. Victory, Mine! #Amen!

GRACE STANDS YOU

GRACE STANDS YOU
John, the writer of Revelation, last book in the Bible, departed saying in Chapter 22:21: ‘ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people. I asked what this mean even though many have believed it to be unmerited benefits coming to you. But the Spirit took me to see that grace is what keeps you faithful and passionate towards the promises of Jesus Christ and the Scriptures.

If you examine Revelation 13:10 that says in the last part ‘…meanwhile, God’s holy people passionately and faithfully stand their ground (MSG),

The Bible expands this more to say in 2Corinthians12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (KJV).

Finally, the word of grace is God gift for our sufficiency through good and bad time. It will strengthen your mind to stand strong when things are going down and it will bring you good heart. joyous spirit to enjoy your unmerited benefits and blessings when they come.

God is our grace for time of good and also our grace for the not so good times
2Corinthians 3:5 says ‘Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;’

As you embrace the grace if God more today, I pray it will keep P you and make you stand strong in life and faith through the good and the not good times.

HALT AND HAIL!

HALT AND HAIL!
Numbers 22:31 ((MSG)
Then God helped Balaam see what was going on: He saw God’s angel blocking the way, brandishing a sword. Balaam fell to the ground, his face in the dirt.

Many a times in life we are on a journey with the intense of doing what is good. Even though Balaam was on the contract of cursing the children of Israel for that’s his work, he bless and curse, he was on a good course as he had consulted God and determined to only obey God.

Because God had earlier sent an angel ahead, supposedly and the angel did not know God had told Balaam to go ahead but to obey him, the angel obstructed the journey and ready to destroy Balaam but for the trusty donkey of Balaam.

When the angel said he would have killed Balaam, (because God made him see what what obstructing the way of the donkey), and spare the donkey, Balaam stopped and fell to his face to worship.

Has your routes changed before and things didn’t go the planned way? Was there any ‘stop and search’ to see what went wrong, time to ‘pause and praise’ or come to a ‘halt and hail’ God for some safe ways he made you tread.

Note that the donkey did fail really but Balaam only thank God not the donkey. If the plan didn’t work, you have to neglect the plan and see the one who did not allow the plan to put end to your life.

Stop and search to let God be praised.

#Declaration: The Praise of God is in my mouth, for every moments that I don’t know where things are turning.

REVIVE YOUR SPIRIT

28-JAN.-2016.
REVIVE YOUR SPIRIT.
Acts 9:40 (KJV)
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

There was a report in the news yesterday about a lady, Samantha McDonald, 20, took her own life by herself. An alarming story!
She took the step because she failed, an examination having a 2-2 after the result was released.

This led to think about Eutychus who slept while sitting on a window. He fell and was unconscious. When Paul approached him, his life was still in him.

Tabitha was also a good woman who died. Because of the good she did and her almsdeed, people want her to stay back, so they invited Peter.
When Peter got to her body, he prayed and called her and she responded.

Whichever way a man feels that an end is coming to his life, when there is a purpose for a man to fulfil in this world, the end will not come. Such time is a time to revive the dieing spirit.

Samantha, a young lady of 20 taking a her life is weird because she still has a long way to go in achieving her career.

Even Tabitha at an old age, got up when Peter called her and though she was dead. Little can we say of Samantha if she would ever revive herself back if Peter was to call her back to life.

Don’t give up the spirit to live on in life, business, career, project, tasks and in all ways. Always revive your spirit to stay till the end. When your spirit is being called back, answer!

#Declaration: I own my spirit, God is guiding my spirit. I will not give up. I shall not die but live and declare the glory of God’s doing and my exploits till the end. Amen!

ACHIEVE IT ALL WAY

Philippians 1:20 (KJV)
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Paul’s only course and assignment has been to tell people about Jesus Christ and he did this with great intention to achieve it. Apostle Paul is a man of hope, bold, rugged and someone who never feel ashamed of doing what he does.

Whatever you do has a force that supports it when it’s been done with expectations behind them. It is never a good idea to run a course, start a projection without the relevant expectations on the mind.

Those expectations would always want us to dare whatever we come across along the way. Instead of timidity, we develop a bold attitude.

Having a spirit that is never afraid to stay betwixt life and death for the course that we are passionate about.

Going anyway to have things done for what you believe would not end in n a deadly point. It is promised to have a end that has a crown with.

Remember uneasy lies the head that wears the crown and there is no prize without a price.

Do you have expectations like Paul, will you be determined to be bold and not be ashamed? Go all the way to make it happen!

Declaration: I have great course for my life, I will not be ashamed in anything to follow to the end no matter how the path seems. I will be clear in thoughts, allowing God’s breathing through my mind-ways, for strength and refreshness! Amen.

A CONVINCING TRIAL!

26-JAN-2016.
A CONVINCING TRIAL!
Luke 8:43-44 (KJV).
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

You have heard the saying, ‘a trial will convince you’. As a matter of fact, what the convincing trial would be may not come at the first trial.

What do you think Thomas Edison, would be thinking for trying to get the light bulb fixed, haven tried that longer period of time he had attempted it? He must think of not to give in before he finally make the best convincing trial.

Why won’t Naaman question going for a seven dip inside the river to get cleansed when he had seen a king give a command at a go and it was done?

Why wouldn’t the man who saw people walking like trees want another convincing trial to perfect his sight?

Compare the treatment of the issues of blood under different doctors for 12years with the attempts of producing a light bulb for over a thousand times? There must be a correlation! Just as Edison learnt how not to make light bulb in different ways until the result came and so this woman, she must have known in 12years where not to seek her healing until the day she had a conviction to make another trial as Jesus passed.

Where and when do people easily give up on purpose? It is not about why, but the moment when people throw in the towel. Sincerely, people do have purpose but too many times give up early sincerely, before the convincing trial is attempted!

There is a final step to getting it done if you must have the result that is required.
Note it very well, your desires will never make equivalent of what you must acquire. If your wishes and what you desire s are failing in the process, what you must acquire should keep you on success path and be in full focus

This is to kick someone one more time to keep trying; just once again, and once again and once again!

Remember, the few trials might bring you too many confusion but many trials would make it more defining to stay in line for the final.

A trial will come with a better conviction, wait till you win.

#Profession: I am alive to see the end-result of my works. I have attainable goals, working plans, the result will show forth. I am not giving up. Heaven is set to move into action for my best conviction and it shall be perfect victory. Amen!

ROLE MODEL SCALES

25-JAN-2016.
*ROLE MODEL SCALES*
1Corinthians 11:1 (NIV)
Follow my example as I follow the examples of Christ.

In recent time, as I was reading the book: ‘The Confident Decision Maker’, the author, Roger Darwin, was giving some related issues to making decisions in different situations. And in one step, he says: ‘RUN THE DECISION BY A SERIES OF ROLE MODELS.

He wrote about people who have made it through out of terrible situations by following what a role model has to say or have said about such situations.

Tom Monaghan, the owner of Domino’s Pizza, who turned an investment of $400 into $480million, had Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s as his silent role model. One of the advice Kroc gave Tom was:
‘Open a few stores every year, but be careful. Don’t make any new deals that could get you into troubles. Play it safe.’
And that advice must have helped Tom greatly.

Apostle Paul, a role model to many churches in Asia uncovered that Jesus was his own role model. He talked about following Christ’s examples. He performed his ministry on the scale of the examples Christ made.

Having a role model is like taking a compass along in a journey such that when the path seem blocked you can asked a way out.

In any aspect you might be engaged in, it us good to have a role model to maintain focus. It helps also not to make some likeable mistakes they have made.

And following the examples of God, who first made the first investment, founding the heaven and earth, is all the best. He made no mistakes because He always had a way out in plan. Use the scale of God!

As this year is going on, you may have many scales of role models to use, but embrace more than any other and mostly the role model scales of God and believe it shall lead to a great destination.

#Profession: I am not alone, God is with me, I have solutions at all times, there shall be no account of failure in my journey this year, I will have a successful landing. I see God ahead waiting to crown me with greater profits. Amen

NOTHING SECULAR

*NOTHING SECULAR*
*Matthew 25:40* (NLT)
‘And the King shall say, I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’

The word *secular* translates as *something that does not have social impact*, it literarily means something not religious. By this definition, it means our religion is suppose to be of great impacts.

So when you are determined that you ain’t secular people, you are categorically saying you have made a decision to be people that makes impact.

Some catalogue of things were shown about some people that reiterate more about secularity; looking at the instance of the Pharisees. They do things with intention of showing off and that is secular, whereas, it should be and so loose there great rewards.

Talking about the way they give alms to show off, there fasting is for show off and on and on like that. But Jesus’ practice of giving, praying, healing was to glorify the father and bless humanity. His life had social impact on heaven and earth.

By adding values on earth, we are equally doing so to heavenly bodies and so we will have rewards here and there beyond.

What impact will you make today, do it on time. Give someone a cup to drink!

#Profession: I have virtues the world needs to change, I am a blessing, I will not privatize on my gift and talent, but will priotize on showing forth my gift. I am reaching out on this earth with rewards waiting in heaven for me. Amen!

FIGURATIVE FAITH

*FIGURATIVE FAITH*
*Mark 11:23* MSG
This mountain, for instance: Just say, ‘Go jump in the lake’— no shuffling or shilly-shallying— and it’s as good as done.

This scripture, written in another way by James, the king, for further understanding says:
***For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.***

I was caught up with this scripture and never stop thinking about these superlative words; and something figurative was given in the spirit about telling the *mountain* to move!

The meaning to this figurative use talks about *something unusual* (according to Oxford Dictionary). Indeed for a mountain to move is not unusual in anyway, especially when it talks about just *speaking* to it.

Adding to this, it talks about believing, no shuffling, no doubt, no shilly-shallying.

The input for achieving this unusual effect; is faith; small or big like the size of a mustard seed or a cocoa pod. There must be a size of faith in action; no faith, no results.

The size of your faith is not inverse to the degree of what you can make happen, just enact the faith and it will come through.

Note this, *the way faith comes is by hearing but the way faith act is by speaking; the faith that believes for something to happen is the faith that speaks*.
The enactment of faith is not by hearing it is by speaking the word of God you have fed on. You only live by every word that proceeds…

Begin to speak, making great speech for a great move of God.

#Profession: I have faith, I am speaking with great belief, no doubts, every word that I speak shall come to pass in my life as I believe in God performing them. Amen!
