THIS IS HOW TO LOVE AND BE THANKFUL TO GOD

“A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed ten times as much as the other. When they were unable to pay him back, he canceled both their debts. Now which of them will love him more?” - Luke 7:41‭,42 CJB. ‬

This is the statement of forgiveness the world experienced in the power of God’s grace. He so loved the world, and He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to save all that come in to accept His love.

Every man in the world has responded to God differently on this one great thing He did for all equally.

How much do you love, and thankful to God for His great goodness? For no matter where you are in the state of being sinful, we all have been forgiven our sinful debts at once in Jesus by God.

How much you love and thankful you are reflect the salvation you enjoy. Some people are totally careless about what God did through His Son. They don’t love much. They have refused to recognize the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ who took care of all sins at once.
With the creditor, whatever any of these was owing him was simply a fact that all of them were indebted to him and couldn’t pay off their debts. So, by single sacrifice of forgiveness, he forgave these debtors. It’s therefore of the debtors to appreciate him by love and thankfulness. Remember, wherever you are in sin, you could not free yourself from the hold of the sin, but in Jesus Christ, the entire burden of sin was submerged in the blood of the Lamb of God.

Whatever you do in regard to forgiveness of God in Christ Jesus is the percentage of your love, either positively or negatively. And you are going to be accepted by God or not based on this love reaction you show toward God.

Our gratefulness is quantified in love and loyalty to God. Remember, all of us are responding to God right now, but check it out whether you are going positively or negatively to the redemption we have received in Christ Jesus.

I encourage you to respond to God in the light of His word. You cannot be said to love God when you have not accepted His forgiveness of your sin. Make up your mind today, embrace the love of God’s forgiveness. Confess Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of your life right now. For whoever call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

How much do you love the LORD? Your answer to this question should be simply like this – “I have given my life to Him through Jesus Christ His Son. And I am ready to live every inch of the rest of it in appreciation for His grace for me.”

DO AWAY WITH WRONG ASSOCIATION

Do not be deceived; bad company corrupts good morals – 1 Corinthians 15:33 NASB.

Working for acceptability among the world’s folks has cost great numbers of believers their righteous morals before God. Excessive push for recognition with the system of this world is the work of the flesh. It is built on the foundation of pride, lust and competitive spirit. All of them are demonic spirits.

Most of the rights and privileges that men fight for with the world system, always lead one against the revealed will of God in all cases. You may not have your rights and privileges guaranteed to you by the government and the people of this world. But the Holy Spirit can always enforce all your rights and privileges to you here in the world, and no one can question that.

You do not have to league yourself with the folks of this world in order to gain popularity and approvals with them. This is how many of God’s people are led astray into bad companies, and then eventual destruction, all across the globe.

Being born from above, you are already the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ. And your moral is good (of the righteousness of God). This needs to be protected and jealously kept from contaminations of the world.

If you allow bad companies your righteous moral will be corrupted at all cost.
This generation of believers in Christ Jesus need to learn how to enjoy the grace and all that it affords them independent of the world’s inputs. We are already a race of God with the culture of faith for all our gains, and this can work just everything for us in the world. So, what do you seek company with the world system for?

Be bold to saying no to bad and sinful companies. Make discoveries into how righteousness causes all kinds of contentment in godliness in and for the saints of God in this life.

Be careful to note this, the right that God does not give or grant you as His own in the world, no one can grant you such without compromising your faith. You are truly liberated by God, and not by some governments or organizations out there.
Learn faith morals on how to use this present world in the fear of the LORD. This is what renewing of our minds is all about. Because yours and mine faith must touch all interfaces we have with the world. Seek the teachings of the Holy Spirit concerning all things, and people.

Of the truth, you will win the world’s folks over to the LORD because you are disciplined to live God’s standard before them.

HANDLING THE GODS THAT ARE ALL AROUND YOU

“Therefore fear Adonai, and serve him truly and sincerely. Put away the gods your ancestors served beyond the [Euphrates]River and in Egypt, and serve Adonai! If it seems bad to you to serve Adonai, then choose today whom you are going to serve! Will it be the gods your ancestors served beyond the River? or the gods of the Emori, in whose land you are living? As for me and my household, we will serve Adonai!” - Y'hoshua (Joshua) 24:14‭-‬15 CJB. ‬

Every idol has behind it a demon or more that control the lives of the people who worship directly or indirectly those idols. These demons’ activities may have lasted with your ancestors or the ones you are choosing now to worship.

Joshua reflected way back before Abraham joined himself to the faith of God that there were gods that their ancestors served. He even mentioned the gods that Israelites served while they were in Egypt, and then, currently the gods of the Canaanites among whom they lived. So, be conscious of the fact that the demons can continue to follow after you for generations, or the ones you invite into your life due to your personal lusts of the flesh and of the eyes. According to scriptures, we have at one point serve these gods, but then Jesus Christ saved us in His great redemption (see Ephesians 2:1-5).

Having been born from above, we have got power to choose whom to serve.

No ancestral god is able to violet your will, if you choose to serve the LORD God, Almighty. Joshua made the Israelites know that effects of any god on their lives were because they served such god directly or indirectly.

These demons seek your attentions using both gifts and threats of all kinds. But beyond all that these can do is your choice to either embrace them or cast them off from you, so to serve the living God.

Joshua and his household made the choice to serve the LORD, and there was nothing the gods beyond the Euphrates river could do to them. Not even the gods of the Egyptians that they recently got free from. And more so the present gods of the Amorites were also powerless against Joshua and family. Simply, this came about by faith choice they made. You are a servant to whoever you serve of your own will.

The power of any god over you is because you allow it. Embrace Jesus Christ fully, like Joshua did stand for God without fear or favor of the so many gods that are round about him. Serve God, the Father of our Lord Christ Jesus for your good now, and through eternity.

“Sin is a dethroned monarch; so you must no longer give it an opportunity to rule over your life, controlling how you live and compelling you to obey its desires and cravings. So then, refuse to answer its call to surrender your body as a tool for wickedness. Instead, passionately answer God’s call to keep yielding your body to him as one who has now experienced resurrection life! You live now for his pleasure, ready to be used for his noble purpose. Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the grace of God” (Romans 6:12‭-‬14 TPT).‬

See to it that no god lord it over you anymore in any way, but Jesus Christ.

USING THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD WRONGLY

Now, Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; and he allied himself by marriage with Ahab – 2 Chronicles 18:1 NASB.

Ahab, the king of Israel, is a typical of carnality and unrighteousness in the body of Christ. Meanwhile Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, is a typical of righteousness that God blesses. As you can see, God blessed Jehoshaphat because He was pleased with him. But Ahab and his wife Jezebel were ostentatiously evil before God, and were target of God's wrath for many reasons.

God has different ways He relates to or with righteousness, and as well with unrighteousness. He deals retributively to wickedness, and in another hand, He blesses the righteous-just.

Jehoshaphat misused his privilege of being a blessed one, and he chose to associate with the group that God was out to discipline so to correct their errors in Israel.

Material blessing is not to be used for fame; as in being allied to people who hate and abuse the righteousness of God. You don’t take the blessing of God to the court of wickedness. Don’t do that!

It was evil in the sight of God that Jehoshaphat allied himself by marriage with Ahab. The world’s ideas did not make you, so why taking what God gives to you and submit it for the world to use?

God gives glory and honor, but these must never be used for acceptability with world. How easily, that when a child of God is blessed, he or she seeks to be recognized by the world. Why don’t we know how to rate ourselves according to the righteousness of God independently, thereby creating our own sphere of enjoying the good things that God has given to us free from the contaminations of the influences of the world. Jehoshaphat used God’s enrichment to gain popularity with king Ahab, which was considered to be a wrong use of the presence of God that was with him.
Wealth and riches aren’t meant for show off, but to be used for the glory and honor of God in the world.

Until now, many have not known the godly uses of wealth and riches in the hands of the righteous-just. Learn this firstly, do not take the wealth of God with you for lust driven affinity with the world.

Study Jehoshaphat closely, he wrongly used the blessing of God in many ways later in his reign. Remember, it was one of such wrong actions of Jehoshaphat that made the anger of God to burn hard, leading to destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.

If you abuse God’s blessing in your life, your life will eventually be abused. Enjoy the best of the world’s goods but not in affinity with the system of this world.

Learn to enjoy whatever God gives so that He may not be wrath with you in the process.
Deal decisively against pride of whatever kind in your life, and lead a life of being a glory to God in midst of great wealth and riches that He gives. Have a righteous mission in wealth and riches. Amen.

BE URGENT IN PRAYERS

“O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion. O LORD, hear! O LORD, forgive! O LORD, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name” – Daniel 9:18,19 NASB.

Fundamentally, it is one who has known his or her stance in the righteousness of the faith of Jesus that has the courage to come boldly before the throne of grace, like Daniel did here, praying for the transgression of others.

Daniel stood up and prayed to God for the entire nation of Israel and the city of Jerusalem in a prevailing intercession. He argued in prayer that both the people and the city that are called by the name of the LORD.

Declare yourself and whoever you pray for as belonging to God. There is this great zeal that God demonstrates for and on behalf of whoever and whatever is His pleasure. One who is praying must know what God’s Word says, so to excite God’s zeal in that direction.
God Himself asks us to pray, and not to faint in doing that. Based on this, He is inclined to answer one who rightly knows how to petition in faith.

We are His, In Christ Jesus, therefore, like Daniel, we can call for the listening ears of God, and His seeing eyes, to bringing about our many desires and requests. Know that God answers petitions that come before Him – “Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ” (Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 TPT).‬
Don’t forget to keep your mind on the compassion of God for you and people you pray for, as being God’s own, and therefore, objects of His compassion. This is how faith works in prayers of the righteous.

Every prayer of the saint must be that which establishes the reign of God in the world. God does not answer selfish prayers, that are of the lust of the flesh. Yeah, He blesses you so to make His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Pray with right focus and zeal of God’s righteousness, and in so doing the blessing of His presence will come over you, and more so.
Prayer is of loyalty and love, the foundation on which faith functions. And there are your answers….

SPIRIT-LAMP LIGHTS UP THE SOUL

The human spirit is a lamp of Adonai; it searches one’s inmost being. Grace and truth preserve a king; with grace he upholds his throne - Mishlei (Proverbs) 20:27‭-‬28 CJB. ‬

God has given the spirit of man for a lamp by which things and discoveries are searched out of secret places within the man. It’s written, “He puts eternity in their hearts.” What that means is that things are hidden in you by God, that you need to meet certain requirements for God to cause the spirit-lamp to shine on them.
Your greatness is not far from you, but without appropriate working of your mind, you may never gain access to the things hidden in you. Godly innovations and inventions are some few thoughts away from the believer who has renewed his or her mind by the truth of the word of God.

Remember, you have the mind of Christ, which is greater in breadth than the breadth of mind like Solomon had. Jesus said our minds, in Him, are more vast that you can virtually do anything good with them. Where the purpose of God is concerned, in your own personal life, you can do beyond all natural imaginations. The problem is that we have not worked on this much as we should. We have not given ourselves to thinking productively, rather, we worry much, just about everything.

Jesus said, “No man when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, nor under a bushel, but on lampstand that they which come in may see the light” (Luke 11:33). Simply, because you are born from above, your spirit-lamp is lighted, and your inner part, that is, the workings of your mind, they are opened to learning new things being revealed to you. You can truly be a great innovator of the things that God has hidden for our glory, but they are now revealed to us by the Holy Spirit using the our spirit-lamps.

The faith of a child of God cannot function properly if his or her mind is not renewed by the word of God. Accept to live by the way the promises of God’s word make the world go round in the will of God. That is how faith functions on platform of enlightened mind in the order of the purpose of God.

A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE

Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore – 1 Kings 4:29 NASB.

The Holy Spirit speaks about the renewing of our minds as something we can and should do by ourselves, being powered up by Him, as we’re now in Christ Jesus. Renewal of mind is increasing the breadth of one’s mind in the capacity of the mind of Christ (see 1 Corinthians 2:16).

What Solomon had from the LORD was higher than the natural minds could be.

Sin limits the mind and makes it to concentrate on mundane things. Sin also is cowardice, it belittles the capacity meant for God’s man to function in. Because Solomon sought wisdom from God, He gave him a limitless breadth of mind to grasp and to accomplish things far beyond that which ordinary natural minds could.

Talking about you and I in Christ Jesus, having gotten the mind of Christ, there is no extent we cannot reach in our minds and as well as bringing to pass things that we have conceived in the will of God. Jesus Christ, representing the new creation's Head, said: “The Queen of the South will appear at the Judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shlomo [Solomon], and what is here now is greater than Shlomo [Solomon] (Luke 11:31 CJB; brackets mine). This statement of Jesus is significant to everyone who is a new creation, for we all have the mind of Christ. Go on and renew yourself to being this way, far beyond what Solomon had.
In Christ Jesus, we have enhanced minds to be all God’s will. Make this your real focus; that is, accomplishing things by the mind of Christ. Walk in the newness of spirit, that is God’s expectation for you now as a new creation.

Confession: I have in Christ Jesus largeness of mind. Wisdom of God is operating through me. My mind is renewed.

IT’S COVENANT, WALKING WITH THE LORD

The king stood on the platform and made a covenant in the presence of Adonai to live following Adonai, observing his mitzvot [commandment], instructions and regulations wholeheartedly and with all his being, so as to confirm the words of the covenant written in this scroll. All the people stood, pledging themselves to keep the covenant - M'lakhim Bet (2 Kings) 23:3 CJB; brackets mine.

This particular Judean revival came in as the LORD had intended it to be. Remember, Josiah was prophesied, the revivalist of the fear of God among the people. A king should lead his people to follow after God, but not many of them did that. But the reign of Josiah was a kind of great peace offering to God, in that he reversed what the evil regimes of the past had established. His reign delayed God’s wrath against Judah, because he caused the nation to serve God in fear and in great reverence.
To be merely procrastinating the fear of God and His worship as something that could be done later in life destroys than you ever can imagine. Covenant speaks about you, right now and in every moment, hooked up to the fear and worship of God. Therefore, there is no space to be out of the presence of God in any way.

This is what the blood of Jesus signified, the covenant of constant faithfulness with God. See that God’s way of doing and being right is the constant life trend for you. With all your heart give in to being openly known as God’s worshipper. Stand up for the truth of the gospel of Christ wherever. Live from within you in all purity and holiness.

If your glory, that is, your material wealth and riches cannot be place for and in the services of God then you’re still faking it around the covenant of the LORD. So, to be free from the influences of the world takes boldness of righteousness, as the scripture says, “The righteous are as bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1).
Remember, as a believer, you are and have the boldness of the lion of Judah.

Like Josiah, all ministry gifts are given to lead the Church in whatever they do in life so to reverence God in them. We are trailblazer of the covenant of the LORD among His people. Our commitment is the proof for the people’s willingness to wholeheartedly serve God.

“And He has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers. And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:11‭,‬12 TPT). That was how king Josiah was an asset to Judah, and you in our world today, how would you be to the Church of Jesus Christ?‬

I AM ONLY SUBJECTED TO THE JUDGING OF THE LORD

But personally, I’m not the least bit concerned if I’m judged by you or any verdict I receive from any human court. In fact, I don’t even assume to be my own judge, even though my conscience is clear. But that doesn’t mean I stand acquitted before the Lord, for the only judge I care about is him -1 Corinthians 4:3‭,4 TPT. ‬

There are several judging standards found here in the world which are based on the logics of men. Every one of these is set to make you look like them or what they assumed you should be like. It is a fact now that in the world we have those who are totally confused about the states of their nature, who want you to consent to them about their confused status. And in their own confusion, they seek to have you taken in the same lies and confusion. Because being yourself of God’s view judges their faithless life styles .

Being a child of God need you to be highly conscious of one thing in relationship to everyone, is that God has His standard for you, and so, He the One whose judgment has true effects on you. Therefore, you must see to it that you’re the worth of God’s determination in every respect.

Don’t be given to the rating of men whatever they are, because they are not going to matter in any way at the end.

Even your own personal rating of yourself may not count if it is not aligned with God’s purpose. To know what God’s will is and to be found to doing the same makes you to have God’s righteous rating.

Self condemnation comes out of guilt of pushing to please people instead of God. You must grow above any rating that may not stand you as being upright before God.

Read the text scripture again, and begin to judging yourself in God’s standard that will last you throughout eternity.

Don’t self condemn nor be found judging others. Just get you into God’s arena of faith-righteousness that makes you to be all He reveals on you and in relationship to everyone. Amen.

Joshua Otashu, the servant of the LORD’S presence.

GOD REJOICES AT YOU BEING HIS OWN MADE RIGHTEOUSNESS

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain that you make your ways perfect? – Job 22:3.

Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God… For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God through our union with him - 2 Corinthians 5:17‭,‬18,21 TPT.‬

This particular friend of Job hadn’t good knowledge of the righteousness of God, and God’s intention on the nature of righteousness where men are concerned. He wrongly challenged Job’s insistence of being right with God. These friends were more of pain than being comfort to Job in his great trial. They were erroneous in many subjects that they took up to discuss with Job. In this case Eliphaz represented God as if righteousness in man doesn’t mean a thing to Him. But you I know that it is for His righteousness in and by us that God sent His Christ into the world.

Get it right, God, the LORD, takes great pleasure in you and I being in right-standing with Him. And that only happens through His Christ. God appeared to Abraham for the purpose of His righteousness being at work in him, and so it may also to take over all the globe. God watched all the right responses of Abraham to His word, and called it righteousness – “Abraham believed the LORD and He reckoned his faith to him as righteousness “ (Genesis 15:6).

Self grafted righteousness enjoys no pleasure with and in God, but one who is believing whatever He says is His pleasure. That’s righteousness where you are concerned in Christ Jesus. Faith at work in you and I pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). This happens based on the fact that we have come to be His own made righteousness in Christ Jesus by confessing Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.

Because you are God’s righteousness, you can by Christ Jesus do righteousness in this life.
“Delightfully loved children, don’t let anyone divert you from this truth. The person who keeps doing what is right proves that he is righteous before God, even as the Messiah is righteous” (1 John 3:7 TPT). Remember, you don’t do right things to be made righteous, rather, because you embraced Jesus Christ’s finished work so you are made the righteous-just before God, and now you can do right things that can accrue to your glory and reward in the presence of God.

Now, let us look again at the question asked by Job’s friend: “What gain it is to be perfect?” This is the answer to this question, firstly, it is of the pleasure of God. Perfection in the light of God’s will is for our goodness now and in the world to come. God desires purity in us, as it is written, “Be holy as God is holy. “ God wants you to be dedicated to Him as He is to you. That’s what holiness stands for primarily. God desires of us to be all the good things that His word reveals.

THIS' WHAT GOD'S WORD DOES

Let me describe the one who truly follows me and does what I say: He is like a man who chooses the right place to build a house and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it continues to stand strong and unshaken through the tempest, for he built it wisely on the right foundation . - Luke 6: 47, 48 TPT.

We've got these three groups of people that are coming to the church. Some merely accepted to be adopted by the the church for the sake of self promotion best known to them. These don't hear or act out whatever is the instruction of the Word of God. I wonder why they are in the fold, can't they equally make whatever gain they are after outside of the church? They act like scavengers among the saints of God.
The second group of people in the church; these go on to hear what God is saying to His church, but they are short of practicing the Word of God.
Then the third group who in the prophecy of Isaiah would be recognized as the willing and obedient ones. They hear and promptly act on what God's Word says.
According to our Lord Christ Jesus, there will be storms, meaning, the adversary will throw all manners at you with intention of pulling the faith of Jesus out of you while you are still in the world. But a promptly willing and obedient believer has her or his foundation dug deep into God by simply hearing and doing the Word of God. Storms of this life caused by the devil have got no power over this believer.
Many times when storms rage we become afraid for one another, not knowing what these storms could do. But be assured, those believers who are adent hearers and doers of the Word of God will come out of whatever storm stronger, because the foundation upon which he or she is built is the Word of God.
The power of the Word of God within you is greater than all the torrents the devil sends against you. I may not know what you're facing right now, but with the Word of God being your authority all through, by Jesus'words, you will come out of those circumstances praising the LORD. Amen. NO storm can be the reason why you are out of the faith of Jesus, and this is because you are a hearer and a doer of the Word.
Buildings with right foundations for their types will always weather the storm, Jesus Christ is the Rock on you are built, be certain of this that you will weather the storms of life safely into glory. Keep enjoying your best out of the promises of God now. Don't wait for the storms to be over for you to enjoy the goodness of the LORD. As the Psalmist said, "You have prepared a table of all goodness before me in the presence of my enemies..." We are soldiers who feast and at same time crushing the enemies. Our victory has been made certain already because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Soldiers, you cannot be crushed by the host of darkness, but have got to tread them down under feet. Be soldiers worthy of the grace and mercy of our Redeemer, Jesus the Messiah. Amen. Praise God forevermore!

A love-slave of God, and of the Lord, Christ Jesus: Joshua Otashu
