Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Glory be to God & the Father of our Lord Jesus for His great faithfulness in bringing us gradually to the end of this month & the first quarter of this great & wonderful year!

I am persuaded that the remaining few hours to the close of this month & quarter will deliver our programmed blessings, including your TOTAL HEALTH, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I have Jesus’ joy in bringing to you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today.

As long as there is life & breath within us, our Father desires that we keep serving Him just as we maintain the fire of our LOVE for Him & our neighbour.

Actually, He desires that our service to Him in all realms should be on the increase, also.

Just as wine gets better, becomes vintage with age, He desires that our walk with & work for Him should be better in quality & abound in quantity with knowledge & good understanding – 1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

Also, we read the testimony of the Thessalonian Church as recorded in 2 Thessalonians 1.3(Amplified version):
“We ought and indeed are obligated [as those in debt] to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing exceedingly and the love of every one of you each toward the others is increasing and abounds”.

When you link this verse with 1 Thessalonians 1.3(Amplified version):
“Recalling unceasingly before our God and Father your work energized by faith and service motivated by love and unwavering hope in [the return of] our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)”, you’ll discover that where “faith” is mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 1.3, it is in connection with “work energized by faith” as stated in 1 Thessalonians 1.3.

The point is that this Thessalonian Church is noted for their abounding walk with & work for the Lord.

Our Lord Jesus gave full expression to this truth when He Himself also testified of the Church at Thyatira, as Apostle John recorded in Revelation 2.18-19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
“To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows: “`This is what the Son of God says–He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze”.

“I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first”.

The Amplified version puts it like this – Revelation 2.18-19:
“And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, Who has eyes that flash like a flame of fire, and Whose feet glow like bright and burnished and white-hot bronze”:

“I know your record and what you are doing, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your recent works are more numerous and greater than your first ones”.

That’s your Lord & my Lord, your Master & my Master commending His children at Thyatira for the increase that heaven noticed about their relationship & service.

May He say the same thing about you & I also, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

When we increase in this dimension, we’re also assured of our abundant rewards, Hebrews 6.10(Amplified version):
“For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name ‘s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do”.

Also, as earlier stated in 1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

Our Father Himself promised us as recorded in Genesis 15.1(Amplified version):
“After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great”.

Our Lord & Saviour equally reassures us in Revelation 11.18(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
“The nations grew angry, and Thine anger has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time for Thee to give their reward to Thy servants the Prophets and to Thy people, and to those who fear Thee, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth”.

We see it in the Amplified version like this, Revelation 11.18:
“And the heathen (the nations) raged, but Your wrath (retribution, indignation) came, the time when the dead will be judged and Your servants the prophets and saints rewarded – and those who revere (fear) Your name, both low and high and small and great – and [the time] for destroying the corrupters of the earth”.

In my own life, by God’s grace, since I encountered 1 Corinthians 15.58 in 1997, in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, when a man of God used it in His message, I’ve seen our Father’s faithfulness abound with ease & peace as my correct & right affection for & commitment to Him abounds.

Good things happen easily & cheaply, & even as I am thinking of some things, they manifest in colours.

For instance, when our first child & daughter was to get married some few years ago, the notice given was quite short, just about three months, & in faith, our finances were quite much, nevertheless, taking stock after the event(nothing was purchased on credit), there was abundant supply of everything, finance & materials.

To Jesus alone be all the glory!

Beloved, never allow the devil in any form to make you think you’ve arrived in your walk with & service to the Lord or discourage you by any seemingly dissatisfied response you’re expecting from the Lord.

Learn to judge Him faithful & He’ll prove Himself faithful in your life.

All you need to do is to take grace – Hebrews 12.28(KJV):
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”.

May the Lord give you good understanding, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Be sure to take grace to be in fellowship with the saints tomorrow in Church & you’ll be very glad you did!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Yesterday, in our Glory to Glory Word Hour, at KDCG, we considered 2 more blessings of Total Health in this concluding part of the teaching series that we started at the beginning of the month.

My prayer is that now that you know these major blessings, you’ll take advantage of what it takes to get the blessings as you live in Total Health the remaining days of your life, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

1. When you’re living in Total Health, more people will believe the Gospel of Christ, the Word of God & also receive Jesus as Saviour & Lord – Acts 8.5-7(KJV):
5 “Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them”.

6 “And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did”.

7 “For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed”.

There are some people, just as Jesus said, that except they see the proof of what is being preached, they won’t believe & accept Jesus – John 4.48(KJV):
“Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe”.

When people see you living in Total Health & you share your testimonies with them, they’re compelled to accept as truth what you’re telling them.

Our Lord Jesus encountered such opposition but His undisputable proofs silenced them – Luke 4.23:
“And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country”.

He also told them, in John 14.30(KJV):
“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me”.
This means that the author of sicknesses & sufferings couldn’t force those evils on Him!

As you abide in the Word being motivated by Love, you won’t know sicknesses & sufferings in your life again, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

2. The experience of Total Health creates the atmosphere of joy in the environment – Acts 8.8:
“And there was great joy in that city”.(KJV)

Satan never wants people joyful & happy in the Lord but that’s exactly what our Father wants!

That’s why the Gospel is interpreted as “Good News”, what you hear & experience that fills your heart with joy & gladness!

We as heaven’s representatives are to spread the good news with divine ability & authority!

While on the missionary journey in Langtang, on the plateau in Nigeria, the Lord moved so mightily that the Galadima(second in command to the king)of the town was coming to church, who told the king about the Gospel, the inherent power & us, His servants, & we were subsequently invited to the palace, & he, the king requested that we should regularly serve him the Communion.

When people are being saved genuinely & receiving deliverance & getting healed by the power of God’s Word & His Holy Spirit, joy is going to be resultant effect, & remember, the Kingdom that we’re representing is in joy – Romans 14.17:
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost”.(KJV)

No wonder then, virtually everywhere Jesus gets to, no matter how saddening the situation is, He’ll always tell the prospective beneficiary to cheer up.

His mission & ours by Him is to ensure that as many as receive & believe on His Name have a glorious change of story – John 1.12(Amplified version):
[12]”But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name”–[Isa. 56:5.]

How Do You Get These Blessings?
1. Be conscious always, be assured that you possess the Life of your heavenly Father, the same Life that Jesus has, so that you can promptly react against anything contrary to that Nature in & around your life, including your health – 1 John 5.13; & 1 Timothy 4.8:
1 John 5.13(Amplified version):
[13]”I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life”.

1 Timothy 4.8(KJV):
“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come”.

Godliness is God’s Life, Eternal Life, God’s Nature Who was imparted to you when you received Jesus into your life as Saviour & Lord – John 17.2-3(Amplified version):
[2]”[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him”.

[3]”And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent”.

This Heavenly Nature is immuned against ALL evils & ALIVE for ALL BLESSINGS, including Total Health!

As you live & walk in the consciousness of who you are in Christ, powers of darkness will surrender to your authority, & this will remain your testimony, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I am so thrilled to bring you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today!

Glory! Halleluyah!

There is a common saying in the South West of Nigeria that when a child trips & falls down, he simply gets up & continues his walk but when an adult trips & falls, he gets up to check what happened before going on.

Beloved, it is wisdom to access how you’re doing in life by taking stock periodically, by that, you’ll know certainly if you’re on track or not.

Don’t just live life, accepting what comes your way, no, you must be definite, purposeful, determined, deliberate & well cultured in your approach to life!

Didn’t you hear what Jesus said in John 4.32,34-38(KJV):
[32]”But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of”.

[34]”Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work”.

[35]”Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest”.

[36]”And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together”.

[37]”And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth”.

[38]”I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours”.

Those are not statements of a careless man but of a calculated man!

Did you read Apostle Paul when he wrote in,1 Corinthians 3.10 that:
[10]”According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon”.

Can you discern a language & style of healthy calculation?

When you handle life as such, you cheaply disarm the powers of darkness, your HEALTH will be sound, you’ll be happy & well!

Let me show you now how you move on there.

You see, it’s not just calculating, it is going according to His terms.

If things are not going on well, please check if you’re still in His terms, & the first thing to check is your LOVE meter, what is it reading: low or high?

Now, read this directly from His blessed mouth, in Revelation 2.1-7(KJV):
[1]”Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks”;

[2]”I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars”:

[3]”And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted”.

[4]”Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love”.

[5]”Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent”.

[6]”But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate”.

[7]”He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God”.

In this Church, they were working for Him, serving Him very well, even loving what He loves & hating what He hates, yet He’s warning them to get back to base, in fact, he told them they have dropped, what?!!!

With all the acknowledgment of their efforts in His service, He showed them that they’ve gone far from Him by leaving their first LOVE!

He now asked them to remember where they started from & get back there, to do the FIRST works else, all their labour will be in vain.

It comes out too plainly in the Weymouth’s New Testament translation – Revelation 2.1-7:

2:1 “To the minister of the Church in Ephesus write as follows: “`This is what He who holds the seven stars in the grasp of His right hand says–He who walks to and fro among the seven lampstands of gold”.

2 “I know your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars”.

3 “And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary”.

4 “Yet I have this against you–that you no longer love Me as you did at first”.

5 “Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place–unless you repent”.

6 “Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate”.

7 “`Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God’ “.

Beloved, your labour in the Lord won’t be in vain, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

He told them that they’ve left their FIRST LOVE & they should do the FIRST WORKS!

What’s the FIRST LOVE?

He asked Peter in John 21.15-17(KJV):
[15]”So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs”.

[16]”He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep”.

[17]”He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep”.

Looking at those three questions, they actually mean the same thing but He asked thrice for emphasis sake.

We have often thought that seeking or loving Him above things is the key to stop suffering but here, we see that it is not.

Loving Him above people, LOVING HIM above other relationships is His desire for each & every one of us in His Body!

In Matthew 6.33, we see that we should LOVE Him above things:
Matthew 6.33(KJV):
[33]”But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.

In Hebrews 6.10, we also see that we should LOVE Him by ministering to the saints:
Hebrews 6.10(KJV):
[10]”For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister”.

However, in John 21.5-7, He comes out so clearly that our LOVE for Him should supersede that of any other relationship.

As a matter of fact, the basis of service, which is to feed the flock, as He ordered in John 21.5-7, should be because we LOVE Him, because we’re so intimate with Him, we have become one with Him, we know what He wants & why He wants what He wants!

Thank God for service but much more than that, our PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP MUST BE INTACT, ON FIRE!

You can be serving Him with wrong motives but you can’t LOVE Him RIGHTLY & not serve Him correctly!

That’s the message He was passing across to Peter & by extension, all of us in His Body.

He is saying to you & I, LOVE Me more than position, LOVE Me more than title, LOVE Me more than recognition, LOVE Me more than rewards, LOVE Me more than the things that accompany salvation, LOVE Me more than even yourself!

He told Peter what to do, to FEED THE FLOCK but He asked him to do something FIRST, He asked Peter to FIRST FOLLOW HIM, that is, LOSE YOURSELF, TAKE ME IN.

Now, Peter got it…

Did you notice from then on that Peter’s lifestyle depicted someone who cares less about every other thing about himself but his Lord?

He soaked in Jesus completely & I tell you, he got Jesus COMPLETELY!

In His days, people need to touch Jesus’ garments to be healed but they were putting the infirmed & the invalid at a position where the shadow of Peter would fall on them & they were healed!

The FOLLOWER IS THE ONE WHO THE LORD WILL MAKE.

Each person He called, He told them to FOLLOW Him.

David cried that his soul is after God – Psalm 42.1-2(KJV):
[1]”(To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.) As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so PANTETH MY SOUL AFTER thee, O God”.

[2]”My SOUL THIRSTETH FOR GOD, FOR THE LIVING GOD: when shall I come and appear before God”?

He cried again in Psalm 63.1(KJV):
[1]”(A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my SOUL thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is”;

The soul of man is the seat of will, desire, affections & emotions, that part of man that takes decisions.

He couldn’t do without God!

All his decisions were for God.

And God testified about him in Acts 13.22(KJV):
[22]”And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a MAN AFTER MINE OWN HEART, which shall fulfil all my will”.

Jesus was laying hands on people to be healed but his LOVER, Apostle Paul would send handkerchiefs & aprons from his body to the oppressed & sick, & demons were flying away & the sick were getting healed!

LOVE AT WORK!

Why are you relating with people – to get what they have or to notice you or to HELP them REFLECT Christ?

To help people reflect Christ should be a target but your PRIME target should be to REFLECT CHRIST by FOLLOWING Him, then you can help others in REFLECTING Him.

Apostle Paul brought it to light when he said in Acts 20.28(KJV):
[28]”TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO YOURSELVES, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood”.

Check YOURSELF FIRST WITH JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ANY OTHER PERSON OR ANY OTHER THING, he meant to say.

Peter himself put it more clearly, as we see in 1 Peter 5.1-3(KJV):
[1]”The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed”:

[2]”Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a READY MIND”;

[3]”Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ENSAMPLES(EXAMPLES) to the flock”.

“Ready mind”, “ensamples”(examples) – YOU FIRST IN YOUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST!

Please, beloved, check the reading of your LOVE meter with the Lord Jesus & heaven will be a reality perpetually in your life without sicknesses, sorrows or suffering, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I believe you’re celebrating, & in Total Health already according to the Word of our God…, the celebration will be unending, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I bring you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today.

Beloved, please understand that destinies aren’t grounded because the force of gravity is stronger than the force of destiny but destinies are grounded because people don’t know the way up!

Your case, including your TOTAL HEALTH, has been predetermined, ordained, concluded in Jesus Christ before the world began, to be glorious, golden & royal – Romans 8.28-32(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
28 “Now we know that for those who love God ALL THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOOD–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate PURPOSE He has called”.

29 “For those whom He has KNOWN BEFOREHAND He has also PRE-DESTINED to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of brothers”;

30 “and those whom He has PRE-DESTINED He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom He has declared free from guilt He has also CROWNED WITH GLORY”.

31 “What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us”?

32 “He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS”?

Romans 8.28-32(Amplified version):
28 – “We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called ACCORDING TO [HIS] DESIGN and PURPOSE”.

29 – “For those whom He FOREKNEW [of whom He was aware and loved BEFOREHAND], He also DESTINED from the beginning [FOREORDAINING THEM] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren”.

30 – “And those whom He thus FOREORDAINED, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also GLORIFIED [RAISING them to a HEAVENLY DIGNITY and condition or state of being]”.

31 – “What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]”

32 – “He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things”?

As a matter of fact, verse 32 should have read:
32 – “He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, HAS He not also with Him freely and graciously GIVEN us all [other] things”? since in Christ Jesus, we have been MADE COMPLETE – Colossians 2.9:
9 “For it is in Christ that the fulness of God’s nature dwells embodied, and in Him YOU ARE MADE COMPLETE”,

You see, beloved, our heavenly Father in His Love & Wisdom ordained Jesus Christ to be our Instrument of RECREATION, so that as members of God’s great & gigantic family, we have ALL that He has – Philippians 2.5-11; & Romans 8.16-19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
Philippians 2.5-11:
5 “Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus”.

6 “Although from the beginning He had the nature of God He did not reckon His equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped”.

7 “Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men”.

8 “And being recognized as truly human, He humbled Himself and even stooped to die; yes, to die on a cross”.

9 “It is in consequence of this that God has also so highly exalted Him, and has conferred on Him the Name which is supreme above every other”,

10 “in order that in the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, of those on the earth, and of those in the underworld”,

11 “and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of God the Father”.

Romans 8.16-19:
16 “The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God”;

17 “and if children, then heirs too–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ; if indeed we are sharers in Christ’s sufferings, in order that we may also be sharers in His glory”.

18 “Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in us”.

19 “For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God”.

In this new heavenly dignified position that we are in Christ, we are expected to take charge of life, not life taking charge or advantage of us.

We are to put the powers of darkness in their defeated & subdued state where Christ settled them in His finished works on the Cross & His resurrection from the dead – Ephesians 3.10(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
10 “concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God’s wisdom”.

Ephesians 3.10(Amplified version):
10 “[The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere”.

Beloved, the Body of Christ on the earth, in this world, are to enforce the reality of heaven on earth!

You & I don’t belong any longer to the powers of darkness since we’ve accepted Jesus as Daddy’s LOVE GIFT, as Saviour & Lord of our lives – Colossians 1.13(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

13 “It is God who has delivered us out of the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us into the Kingdom of His dearly-loved Son”,

We’re now in the Kingdom of Christ where Light rules & shines & darkness can’t find us out to do us any evil again, where WE HAVE BECOME IMPOSSIBLE CASE FOR THE POWERS OF DARKNESS – John 1.5(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

5 “The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it”.

In this triumphant regard, One Force  that He has given us is the Force of His Own Nature – the Force of LOVE! Ephesians 3.17,19(Amplified version):
17 – “May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love”,

19 – “[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]”!

Ephesians 3.17(KJV):
[17]”That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that YE, BEING ROOTED and GROUNDED in love”,

Beloved, when you’re ROOTED & GROUNDED IN LOVE, YOU’RE ROOTED & GROUNDED IN GOD & CHRIST, & WHERE THEY ARE IS WHERE YOU ARE, FAR ABOVE ALL POWERS OF DARKNESS – Ephesians 1.20-21(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
20 “when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms”,

21 “high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come”.

Ephesians 2.6(KJV):
[6]”And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”:

When you’re ROOTED & GROUNDED IN LOVE, YOUR DESTINY CAN’T EVER BE GROUNDED!

Living & Walking the LOVE LIFE is ALL you need to be ABOVE ALL POWERS OF DARKNESS!

That’s your nature, that’s your life, that’s who you are! 1 Timothy 4.8(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
8 “Train yourself in godliness(Love). Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness(Love) is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming”.

Can you see that, beloved? Godliness – Loveliness – POSSESSES…the PROMISE of Life NOW & of the Life which is soon coming!

1 Timothy 4.8(KJV):
[8]”For bodily exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS(LOVELINESS) is PROFITABLE UNTO ALL THINGS, HAVING PROMISE OF THE LIFE THAT NOW IS, and of that which is to come”.

In 1 John 4.8,16, we know that God is Love(Amplified version):
8 – “He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love”.

16 – “And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him”.

Some few years ago, we had a neighbour who took it upon himself & the wife to malign us in the church.

Of course, as expected, the relationship was obviously strained but on a certain day, I heard a teaching on love & forgiveness.

When I got home, I went to their apartment, met the wife & apologised for the strained relationship, deliberately accepting the fault & blame for everything, & that I did in the presence of a guest of theirs who I met there!

That was on a Sunday evening, by the following Saturday evening, my glorious, golden & royal destiny & purpose opened up colourfully & it has remained open ever since.

You know our Lord Jesus said in Revelation 3.7(Amplified version):
7 – “And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, Who OPENS and NO ONE SHALL SHUT, Who SHUTS and NO ONE SHALL OPEN”:

When you attempt to open what He has shut, won’t you be grounded & anyone who attempts to shut what He has opened, won’t that person also be grounded?

Now, read what He writes to everyone of His children, ALL of us, you & I LIVING & WALKING IN HIS LOVE – Revelation 3.8-11(Amplified version):
8 – “I know your [record of] works and what you are doing. SEE! I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU A DOOR WIDE OPEN WHICH NO ONE IS ABLE TO SHUT; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name”.

9 “Take note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie – behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you”.

10 “Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth”.

11 – “I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown”.

Did you see all of that? simply by GROUNDING YOURSELF IN HIS LOVE, He will ensure that whatever & whoever(from anywhere) sent & set to ground you is GROUNDED FOR YOU!

Psalm 27.1-6(Amplified version):

1 “[A Psalm] of David.
The Lord is my Light and my Salvation – whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid”?

2 “When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell”.

3 “Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident”.

4 “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple”.

5 “For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock”.

6 “And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord”.

This will be your perpetual testimony, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Take grace to let go & let God!

You’re meant for the top, stop struggling on the floor!

Your place at the top is waiting for you, rise up, get up from the ground in LOVE & go & occupy your place till He comes!

See you at the TOP COMPLETE & ALSO IN TOTAL HEALTH, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I am sure you had an awesome time with the Lord & the saints in church today?

With us at KING’S DELIGHT CHURCH GLOBAL this morning, it was so interesting & impactful, as the Lord added more people to His church – three persons rededicated their lives & there were two first timers!

Glory to Jesus!

We continued in the fourth part of our teaching series, LIVING IN TOTAL HEALTH, as three more pertinent questions were asked & the appropriate New Testament answers were supplied.

1. What do you believe in, sickness or Total Health?

In 3 John 2, we are intimated with our Father’s desires for us:
2 “My dear friend, I pray that you may in all respects prosper and enjoy good health, just as your soul already prospers”.(Weymouth’s New Testament translation)

3 John 2(Amplified version):
[2]”Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers”.

It is so clear that our Total Health is our Father’s choice for us but is that what you want for yourself, do you believe in Total Health, because what you believe in determines your reward – Genesis 15.1; & Hebrews 11.6:
Genesis 15.1(Amplified version):
[1]”AFTER THESE things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great”.

Hebrews 11.6(Amplified version):
[6]”But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]”.

It is His purpose & in His programme to lavish & reward you with Total Health but do you believe in that package?

For your information, Total Health is possible, it is available, it is accessible & it is obtainable!

It is possible: Exodus 15.26:
“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee”.

Psalm 105.37:
“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes”.

Mark 10.27; 9.23(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
10.27: “Jesus looking on them said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for everything is possible with God”.

9.23: “`If I possibly can!'” replied Jesus; “why, everything is possible to him who believes.”

It is available: Matthew 8.16-17(Amplified version):
[16]”When evening came, they brought to Him many who were under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick.
[17]And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases”. [Isa. 53:4.]

1 Peter 2.24(Amplified version):
[24]”He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed”.

It is accessible: Proverbs 4.20-22:
20 “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings”.

21 “Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart”.

22 “For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh”.

It is obtainable: Isaiah 33.24(Amplified version):
[24]”And no inhabitant [of Zion] will say, I am sick; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity and guilt”.

No one who is in Jesus(2 Corinthians 5:17 “So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature:…”) “will say, I am sick; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity and guilt”.

Joel 3.10(Amplified version):
[10]”Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong [a warrior]”! [Isa. 2:4; Mic. 4:3.]

Somewhere, a brother in the choir, who unknowingly to me had kidney stones which was discovered during a routine official medical check up, heard the Word being preached & as the Lord would have it, the Holy Spirit spoke definitely that morning of someone being healed of kidney stones, lo & behold, when he went to check again, the kidney stones had gone back to where they came from!

Glory! Halleluyah!

Whatever is not yours that came here with you, disturbing your health won’t go back home with you, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

2. Who are you serving?

Who you serve determines your way of life, your manner of life, your attitude, behaviour, conduct & motive!

Israel had been in slavery in Egypt for 430 years & Jehovah in His faithfulness & mercies brought them out with a very strong hand & righteous right arm but not too long after, they desired a god to lead them back to Egypt, & they made a molten calf.

They were slaves in a foreign land, serving in hardship & bondage, & they also learned the lifestyle of the people.

The child of God must know that he’s of the family & household of God – Ephesians 2.19 – & also know that he’s Christ’s ambassador – 2 Corinthians 5.20, which translate to the fact that our manner of life, behaviour, conduct, attitude & motive must be heavenly – Matthew 6.33,10(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
33″But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition”.

10″let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth”;

You’ll observe that apprentices behave like their masters but as children of God, we must constantly bear in mind who we are & our mission in the world, anywhere we are located per time, which is to enforce our Father’s Kingdom in His righteousness, how Christ presented Him to us, & we must not follow the ways of the world.

Your body, which requires Total Health, is a gift from God to you to do His Will in life, to SERVE HIM – Hebrews 10.7,5:
7 “Then I said, `I have come–in the roll of the book it is written concerning Me–to do Thy will, O God'”>.

5 “That is why, when He comes into the world, He says, <“Sacrifice and offering Thou has not desired, but a body Thou hast prepared for Me”.

Exodus 23.25-26:
25 “And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee”.

26 “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil”.

Deuteronomy 7.15:
“And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee”.

Sometime ago, a woman was brought to me, who had been rejected by the families of the 2 men she had earlier married, respectively, because she could not bear children.

Though a born again Christian & a graduate with good work(she was a secretary to a Vice Chancellor of a University as of the time she met me) but out of frustration & ignorance as a result of those previous experiences, she married a third husband who happens to be a moslem, as a third wife.

Now, with this third man, she conceives but suffered miscarriages about three times when the pregnancy is about 7 months, by the time she was talking to me, her pregnancy was about 6-7 months & she was afraid of not having another miscarriage that may result in another marital separation but glory be to Jesus, through counselling to hold on to Jesus & SERVE Him faithfully, Word encounters & prayers, she delivered a bouncing baby boy at the right time!

Beloved, that Satanic ordeal came to an end for that lady by reconnecting wholly to her Owner, Lord, Saviour & Healer!

3. How are you serving?
Many Christians serve their heavenly Father grudgingly, with complaints, grumbling & murmuring but such attitude never pleases the Father & never augurs well for the Christians –
1 Corinthians 10.10(Amplified version):
[10]”Nor discontentedly complain as some of them did–and were put out of the way entirely by the destroyer (death)”. [Num. 16:41, 49.]

“Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer”.
(KJV)

When people, particularly God’s children refuse to put Him & His acts in perspectives, negative reactions in attitude become the order of the day which brings danger & evil, sickness & suffering:
Deuteronomy 28.47,59-61:
47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

59 “Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance”.

60 “Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee”.

61 “Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed”.

God wants us to relate with Him faithfully & happily, joyfully, gladly because He is faithful –
Proverbs 17.22:
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones”.

Proverbs 18.14:
“The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear”?

Romans 4.20-21(Amplified version):
[20]”No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God”,

[21]”Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised”.

God also wants to be served in LOVE – 1 John 3.14:
“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death”.

The person who is dead doesn’t need Total Health, don’t you think so?

There will always be reasons why you should hate people but your Father says to forgive & walk in LOVE so that He can always help you!

Sometime ago, a brother picked up issues with me but thank God, it was resolved, & after a while, someone who knew about the issue asked me about it.

You know how I replied him, it was so calm but Scripturally truthful, I told him I can’t remember the issue he’s referring to.

God says in His Word to forget the former things so that you can see & experience the new, better things He’s doing for you! Isaiah 43.18-19:
18 “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old”.

19 “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert”.

You must as your Father’s child, deliberately exercise yourself in His Nature which you’re made of at new birth – 1 John 5.13(Amplified version):
[13]”I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life”.

1 Timothy 4.8:
8 “Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming”.

This week & the remaining days of your life, you will celebrate in Total Health, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

We bless our God & the Father of our Lord & Saviour, Jesus, for the past 21 days in this month, Who has been faithful to His Word of Total Health in our lives.

To Him alone be all the glory forever, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

On Thursday evening at KING’S DELIGHT CHURCH GLOBAL, in our Glory to Glory Word Hour, we continued in the third part of our teaching series: THE BLESSINGS OF TOTAL HEALTH!

We considered two more blessings:

1. Total Health makes the Christian to deploy his/her resources to other matters of value.

From the experience of that woman recounted in Mark 5.25-26, it is clear that sickness saps the victim dry of all resources – finances, energy, time, etc:
Mark 5.25-26(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
25 “Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage”,

26 “and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse”,

Mark 5.25-26(KJV):
25 “And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years”,

26 “And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse”,

A man met me some few years ago, who was a victim of an unknown ailment.

As of that time, he had spent about a hundred million Nigerian naira, home & abroad, yet to no avail.

He returned home amid a great loss & gave up all hope, that was when a relation of his brought him to me.

According to him, he’s so afraid because in their family, the male don’t live up to forty years of age & if they should, they don’t go beyond sixty.

As of that time, he was nearing sixty years of age but glory be to the Lord Jesus, by the Lord’s mercy & encounter with the Word, he’s still alive today, nearer seventy years in age.

Beloved, our Father doesn’t encourage waste but that’s part of the devil’s ministry & he afflicts people’s health to do that but glory to Jesus, He came to destroy ALL the works of the devil – 1 John 3.8(Amplified version):
[8]”[But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]”.

Colossians 2.14-15(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
14 “The bond, with its requirements, which was in force against us and was hostile to us, He cancelled, and cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross”.

15 “And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the Cross He triumphed over them”.

Colossians 2.14-15(Amplified version):
[14]”Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross”.

[15]”[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]”.

Beloved, EVERY POWER OF DARKNESS, HOSTILE & RANGED AGAINST US WITH THEIR EVIL WORKS, INCLUDING SICKNESSES & SUFFERINGS, OUR FATHER THROUGH JESUS, DISARMED & SHOOK OFF FOR US – YOU & I – SO THAT WE SHOULD ENJOY TOTAL HEALTH & ALL OTHER BLESSINGS! HALLELUYAH!

No wonder, the Father Himself tells us in Malachi 3.11-12(Amplified version):
[11]”And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts”.

[12]”And all nations shall call you happy and blessed, for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts”.

The devourer is a waster of resources & blessings & Daddy says He would rebuke it, disapprove & turn back the devourer, so that you & I, His children WILL BE HAPPY, BLESSED & DELIGHTSOME & RECOGNISED AS SUCH EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME!

Jesus came to rebuke the devourers on our behalf, He did it & said, “…It is finished” – John 19.30.

It is finished with every case of sickness & disease in your body, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

That will be your own personal testimony concerning your TOTAL HEALTH from this moment, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

2. Total Health establishes the truthfulness & power of the Gospel of Christ, the Word of God.

In Romans 1.16-17, we understand that the Gospel of Christ is God’s power for helps for anyone who believes:(Weymouth’s New Testament translation)
1.16 “For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God’s power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes–the Jew first, and then the Gentile”.

1.17 “For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it,

When you put your absolute FAITH & TRUST in God’s Word, then His power to help you out of any dilemma is released & flows in you – Matthew 8.16-17; 1 Peter 2.24; Romans 8.11:
Matthew 8:
16 “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick”:

17 “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses”.

1 Peter 2: 24
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed”.

Romans 8.11(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
11″And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you”.

When you’re in TOTAL HEALTH, you give credence to the truthfulness & the power of the Gospel of Christ, the Word of God!

Sometime ago, I was still in business then, I felt a slight pain in my right eye & saw that a boil was developing there.

I promptly took charge by rebuking the pain & growth.

Later in the day, a lawyer whose office wasn’t too far from mine on the same floor, saw me & asked if I had boil on my eye, & I replied him, “No”, to which he jokingly mocked that I had been deceived by the fake & false faith message, to which I replied him that since he’s the one looking at me, maybe the boil is on his eyes.

Interestingly, by the following day, I no longer felt the pain & the growth also had disappeared but when I saw the lawyer, there was boil in his right eye.

More interestingly, he’s now a member of the church I was attending then, & not only that, he’s even an ordained Elder there, promoting the faith he once mocked!

How Do You Get These Blessings?
We’ll look at a point here:
Desire the blessings because of your LOVE for God & your neighbour – Matthew 22.37-40:
37 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”.

38 “This is the first and great commandment”.

39 “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”.

40 “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets”.

Every promise of blessings of Scriptures are mobilized by the motive & attitude of LOVE at work in the believer!

It’s your desire that has been reserved for & will be delivered to you – Proverbs 10.24:
“The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted”.

You should wish for Total Health & the blessings accompany it, then translate your desires into action by carrying out the instructions of Scriptures, & it’s all yours.

Remember, you first obey the Lord because you LOVE Him – John 14.21,23(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
21 “He who has my commandments and obeys them–he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him”.

23 “If any one loves me,” replied Jesus, “he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him”.

Also, remember that you must LOVE your neighbour as yourself – Galatians 6.9-10(Amplified version):
[9]”And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint”.

[10]”So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God’s family with you, the believers]”.

You should & must enjoy total health because you’re ordained to be a blessing to others.

As far as the Father is concerned, you’ll be blessed to the measure that you’re ready to be a blessing – Genesis 12.2-3(Amplified version):

2 “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]”.

3 “And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves]”.

When you operate as commanded, your faith will surely deliver because faith will only produce in the atmosphere of LOVE – Galatians 5.6(Amplified version):
[6]”For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love”.

As the Lord lives & is on the throne, you’ll celebrate the remaining days of your life in SOUND & TOTAL HEALTH, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Praise God!

Take grace to be in fellowship with the saints tomorrow as you honour the Lord in LOVE & stay blessed with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

May the rest that comes from knowing the Lord Jesus & that causes enlargements with ease answer for you today & always, even in your HEALTH too, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I bring you the better than good news of the Kingdom.

According to 1 Corinthians 15.58, the Holy Spirit of glory opens our eyes of understanding to the Father’s perception of us, as HIS BELOVED:
1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
[58]”Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

Our Father sees you & I as His BELOVED because He has ACCEPTED US INTO HIS BELOVED IN AS MUCH AS WE ACCEPTED HIS LOVE GIFT – JESUS THE CHRIST – AS OUR SAVIOUR, LORD & ALL IN ALL – Ephesians 1.6:
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved”.

To maximise & optimise the benefits of your salvation with blessings & impacts, it is very essential for you to accept the truth of Scriptures, see yourself in the light of the New Testament redeemed child of God & start GROWING in Jesus in ALL ASPECTS by RIGHTLY DIVIDING(CORRECTLY INTERPRETING, DEALING STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH) THE WORD OF TRUTH & EATING THE WORD TO LIVE AS YOU EXERCISE YOURSELF UNTO GODLINESS, OUR FATHER’S NATURE, HIS LIFESTYLE – 2 Timothy 2.15; Matthew 4.4; & 1 Timothy 4.8:
2 Timothy 2.15:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

2 Timothy 2.15(Weymouth’s translation): “Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame”.

2 Timothy 2.15(Amplified version): [15]”Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth”.

Matthew 4.4:
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”.

1 Timothy 4.8(Amplified version):
[8] “For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come”.

1 Timothy 4.8(Weymouth New Testament translation):
4:8 “Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming”.

As we see earlier in 1 Corinthians 15.58, because we’re the Father’s beloved, everything that we do, & which we should do, in line with His will, with the right motive & attitude of LOVE, is guaranteed with GAINS(in this PRESENT WORLD & the world to come), our services & labour then aren’t in vain:
1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
[58]”Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

You must therefore constantly, consciously & deliberately take GRACE not to allow anything to hinder your LOVE WALK & LOVE WORK – Hebrews 12.28:
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”:

The believer’s Christ Life without His Love Nature makes him worthless, according to 1 Corinthians 13.2(Amplified version):
[2]”And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody)”.

I don’t think I or any other Christian would like to be “a USELESS NOBODY”.

Maybe there could be hope for a useless SOMEBODY but it seems hope is lost, hope is no longer alive for a useless nobody.

The Weymouth translation actually nailed it on the head – 1 Corinthians 13.2:
13.2 “If I possess the gift of prophecy and am versed in all mysteries and all knowledge, and have such absolute faith that I can remove mountains, but am destitute of Love, I am nothing”.(Weymouth’s New Testament translation)

I don’t equally think that any believer in Christ Jesus would want to be NOTHING in life, certainly, I don’t want to be NOTHING but the person who Jesus paid the PRICE OF HIS BLOOD TO BE, & I know that’s who you too want to be – THE BETTER THAN GOOD CHRISTIAN CHILD OF GOD – Hebrews 6.9; Revelation 5.12:
“But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak”.

Revelation 5.12:
[12]”Saying in a loud voice, Deserving is the Lamb, Who was sacrificed, to receive all the power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and majesty (glory, splendor) and blessing”!

These are the summary of the blessings (THE PROMISES OF SCRIPTURES FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION) which our salvation in Christ offers, even in this present life, too, as we keep up our FAITH ALIVE IN HIS LOVE – Galatians 5.6(Weymouth’s translation):
5:6 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only faith working through love”.

To be a useless nobody or nothing in life by not LIVING IN LOVE means the person is dead – 1 John 3.14(Weymouth’s translation):
“As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life–because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead”…, & the dead does not need HEALTH again but brethren, Christ gave us LIFE, THE FATHER’S LIFE which no sickness, plagues or any kind of targeted suffering can corrupt, NEVER! John 17.2-3; 1 John 5.11-13:
[2]”[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him”.

[3]”And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent”.

1 John 5:11-13(Amplified version):
[11]”And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son”.

[12]”He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life”.

[13]”I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life”.

1 John 5.11-13(Weymouth’s translation):
5.11 “And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son”.

5.12 “He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life”.

5.13 “I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages”.

Dearly beloved, you have the LIFE OF THE AGES just as the Father, Son & the Holy Spirit have!

Don’t be deceived into anything to the contrary!

If you believe any other portion of blessings in the Holy Scriptures, then you should believe these for your BETTER THAN GOOD LIFE!

This is your day to leave the floor & soar in life, where you belong, at the TOP!

I see you RISE UP IN TOTAL HEALTH TO LIVE & DO THE WORKS CHRIST ORDAINED FOR YOU!

START LOVING & START LIVING!

Your better than good testimonies are sure today & always, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Beloved, I have better than good news of the Kingdom for you, today!

Most Christians obey the Father, not to honour Him but to avoid the negative consequences of disobedience, even though that is good as it may, it’s not a healthy relationship.

That is mere religion!

In religion, there are formalities but no power because the (HEART FELT) LOVE RELATIONSHIP which is the basis of conferring divine power isn’t there – Hebrews 1.3,5:(Amplified version); & Colossians 2.8,16-23:
Hebrews 1.
[3]”He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high”,

[5]”For to which of the angels did [God] ever say, You are My Son, today I have begotten You [established You in an official Sonship relation, with kingly dignity]? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son”?

Colossians 2.8,16-23:

2:8 “Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world’s crude notions instead of following Christ”(Weymouth’s New Testament translation).

16 “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days”:

17 “Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ”.

18 “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind”,

19 “And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God”.

20 “Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances”,

21 (“Touch not; taste not; handle not”;

22 “Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men”?

23 “Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh”.

Christians are to obey the Father to SHOW LOVE to Him, to PLEASE, PLEASURE Him (by doing always the things that PLEASE Him) –
John 8.29:
“And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him”.

Our Father is to be HONOURED & obeyed primarily, fundamentally because He’s to be PLEASED, PLEASURED because of your LOVE relationship with Him.

Subsequently, He’s then to be obeyed to avoid the negative consequences of disobedience – Hebrews 5.7; & Luke 12.47-48:
Hebrews 5.7:
[7]”In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]”.

Luke 47-48:
47 “And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes”.

48 “But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more”.

Then again, the Father is to be obeyed because you’ll be tremendously blessed: Deuteronomy 28.1-13; Revelation 11.18; & Exodus 23.25-26; 15.26:
Deuteronomy 28.1-13:
1 “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth”:

2 “And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God”.

3 “Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field”.

4 “Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep”.

5 “Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store”.

6 “Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out”.

7 “The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways”.

8 “The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee”.

9 “The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways”.

10 “And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee”.

11 “And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee”.

12 “The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow”.

13 “And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them”:

Revelation 11.18:
“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth”.

Exodus 23.25-26:
25 “And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee”.

26 “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil”.

Exodus 15.26:
“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee”.

Our Father then should be obeyed because someone or some people, from time to time, in & outside the Church will be blessed by the blessings of your LOVE & OBEDIENCE, which also encourages –
Genesis 12.2-3; Galatians 6.9-10; & Matthew 22.39:
Genesis 12.2-3:
2 “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing”:

3 “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed”.

Galatians 6.9-10:
9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”.

10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith”.

Matthew 22.39:
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”.

Dearly beloved, LIVING & WALKING THE LOVE LIFE after the Pattern of the First Begotten Son, our Elder Brother, Jesus, brings you into the realms of the SUPERNATURAL where your TOTAL HEALTH & your entire LIFE become increasingly BETTER THAN GOOD, & you become a perpetual UNRESOLVABLE PUZZLE for the powers of darkness!

Stay continually blessed with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I strongly believe that you are already having a great time in the supernatural as our Father told us yesterday that this is our week of the SUPERNATURAL.

I bring to you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today, therefore!

Please, beloved, understand that the purpose of relationship is the backbone of the purpose of destiny or predestination.

Genesis 1.26: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”.

It is very clear from the onset, as the above qouted verse says, that the main purpose of man is for relationship – “Let US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS:…” – which then informs his purpose of predestination.

Also, in Hebrews 1.3,5, the Holy Spirit underscores this issue of relationship in reference to destiny, giving us the example of the First begotten Son of our Father, our Lord, Saviour & Elder Brother, Jesus:
3 “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high”;

5 “For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son”?…

…And we’re told that this Pattern Son came to raise up many sons (& daughters unto glory, you & I):
Romans 8.29; Hebrews 2.10:
Romans 8.29: “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren”;

Hebrews 2.10: “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings”.

As a matter of fact, particularly from Hebrews 2.10, we can assuredly affirm that Salvation was put in place for the RESTORATION & REVALIDATION OF OUR SONSHIP in the Kingdom!

Many believers aren’t walking in LOVE, not relating in their best & full capacity as children of LOVE because they aren’t only fearful but also discouraged by the negative reactions of those they show love to, & our Lord Jesus cautioned us beforehand when He said the LOVE OF MANY WILL WAX COLD BECAUSE INIQUITY WILL ABOUND – Matthew 24.12:
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”, but He quickly assuaged everyone’s fears that as WE TAKE GRACE TO ENDURE TO THE END, WE WILL BE SAVED – Matthew 24.13; Hebrews 12.28:
Matthew 24.13:
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved”;
Hebrews 12.28:
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”:

No wonder then, we were further enlightened that as we LIVE THE LOVE LIFE, OUR FATHER’S BRIGHT PRESENCE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US, SHIELDING US FROM ALL EVILS, IN ALL REALMS: Hebrews 5.7:
7]In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father].(Amplified version)

Operating in LOVE helps the believer against being SEPARATED FROM THE FATHER’S BRIGHT PRESENCE, SO THAT NO EVIL OF SUFFERING, PREMATURE & SPIRITUAL DEATH WILL BEFALL US!

This is also corroborated in Hebrews 13.5-6:
5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”.

6 “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me”.

When you’re not living the LOVE LIFE, you’ll be fighting the powers of darkness & running the race of life in the energy of the flesh, which will certainly lead to confusion, frustration & discouragement – Ephesians 6.12:
“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”.

Verses 11,13-16 instructs us on the whole armour of God:
Ephesians 6:
11 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”.

13 “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand”.

14 “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness”;

15 “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace”;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked”.

However, to put on the whole armour of God without heeding verses 10 & 17 renders the armoury totally ineffective:
Ephesians 6.10,17:
10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might”.

17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”:

You see, the child of God is to be STRONG IN THE LORD, WHO IS LOVE, so, the believer is to be STRONG IN LOVE, & verse 17 caps it with double emphasis – the helmet of SALVATION & the WORD OF GOD!

Remove LOVE from salvation & the Word of God, what is left is only myth, mysticism & the philosophy of men, which makes people to be most miserable – 1 Corinthians 15.19:
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable”.

But glory be to God because no matter what any man thinks or feels, our Father’s TRUTH IS AGELESS, TIMELESS & CAN’T BE WORKED AGAINST – 2 Corinthians 13.8:
“For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth”.

Keep INVESTING in your glorious, golden & royal purpose & destiny by walking the LOVE WALK & LIVING THE LOVE LIFE – Galatians 6.2,7-10:
2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ”.

7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.

8 “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting”.

9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”.

10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith”.

As you do this, ANY ATTEMPT FROM THE PITS OF HELL THROUGH ANY HUMAN AGENT WILL BE MET BY HEAVEN’S FULL RESISTANCE – Isaiah 59.19:
“So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him”.

Psalms 27.1-6:
1 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid”?

2 “When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell”.

3 “Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident”.

4 “One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple”.

5 “For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock”.

6 “And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD”.

As you continue in obedience to THE LOVE LIFE, the Word of Prophecy of LOVE’S MERCIES will answer in your life, & ALL WHO HAVE BEEN USED OF THE POWERS OF DARKNESS AGAINST YOU WILL BECOME YOUR HELPERS, in Jesus’ most colourful name! Isaiah 14.1-3, with the New Testament interpretation in Hebrews 13.5-6, earlier referred to.
Isaiah 14.1-3:
1 “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob”.

2 “And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors”.

3 “And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve”…

Have a better than good week in the SUPERNATURAL & YOUR TOTAL HEALTH, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!
