33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning—
36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"

We should know, definitely, that the eyes of the Lord is at everywhere, looking at everyone of us, ready to reward us, according to our works and labor respectfully; either GOOD OR BAD, we shall all receive our HARVEST one day!
May the GOOD GOD OF HARVEST abides with us all and bless us buoyantly, now and forevermore. AMEN!!!!!!!

★ CONTENT:
Our article for the month of OCTOBER, being our FIFTY-FOURTH EDITION (Independence Package), as a whole, and the Ninth Edition in year 2024; is going to be unique, dynamic, great, fantastic, educative and inspiring. Our article for this month speaks more about the prerequisite qualities and characteristics that genuine and true believers must possessed, for them to succeed and be fruitful on earth.
Life is made up of different people with different characters, backgrounds, ethics, religious beliefs, tribes, races, attitudes etc. These set of people have been programmed by the family system, society, religious beliefs, self-modified behaviors, and have been oriented on different statics, styles, and ways on how to behave themselves in the society; wherever they find themselves.
Going to today's business, we'll be unveiling GOD'S divine agenda, will and purpose, for us, as true believers of Christ, what He intended and prepared for us to imbibe in, so that we could attained and become rightful partakers of His Divine Promises and Blessings, which He'd programmed and made available in abundance; by His Divine Power and Authority.
But, before we go deep into the content of today's article, permit me to briefly give explanations to some terminologies that are used in the article's theme:
1. Compulsory 2. Hereditary, 3. Gene 4. Qualities 5. Believers 6. Possess 7. Succeed 8. Be Fruitful.
1. Compulsory: It means something that is required or mandatory, essential and necessary to be done or followed; accompanied with rewards for compliance and consequences for non-compliance.
2. Hereditary: It is the trait that's passed down from parents or one's ancestors to offspring through genes; that is capable of influencing physical or behavioral characteristics in one. Certain medical conditions, such as sickle cell anemia, are hereditary.
3. Gene: It's a unit of heredity carrying information and distinct from one generation to another. Genes are segments of DNA (Dioribo nucleic acid) that determine various traits, such as eye color, hair color, or height (In the medical perspective).
4. Qualities: This is the attributes, character; behaviors, and characteristics that define a person, object, or idea. Quality can be positive (e.g kindness, diligence) or negative (e.g., dishonesty, laziness).
5. Believers:
These are Individuals who hold faith or confidence in a particular religion, idea, or principle. Believers often demonstrate devotion, loyalty, and commitment to their convictions, by holding strong to their convictions and beliefs. For example, Christians are believers in Jesus Christ and His teachings.
6. Possess: This is the act of having or owning something, either physically, spiritually, financially, materially, or metaphorically. Possessing something implies control, responsibility, or ownership over something or objects.
7. Succeed: This is the process of achieving a desired goal or outcome. Success can be measured in various ways, including personal fulfillment, financial stability, or social impacts.
8. Be Fruitful: This means producing or yielding desirable results, outcomes, or consequences. Fruitfulness implies effectiveness, productivity, or accomplishment.
From the medical perspective, when a child is delivered to, on earth, he or she inherited two or more genes from both the parents; or majorly, from one of them. These genes are hereditary, in the sense that they're passed down or transfered from one person to the other, in the same family, to many generations.
In furtherance to the above, likewise in the Christendom, we as true believers of Christ must inherit the hereditary genes from Jesus Christ, as the Chief-Priest and Head of the Church. Jesus Christ is our heavenly Father; through which the whole family in heaven and on earth were named.
So, we, as His children (true believers of Christ) must inherit these nine genes and qualities from our Father, so that when people see us, they'll see His glory, excellency, grace radiating upon us.
In most cases, it'll be very difficult for a father to doubt the ownership and authenticity of his child, or go for the DNA test of his child, when he sees his handprints or physical resemblance on his child. It'll not sound well for an earthly father that his biological child took after him in appearance, as his own carbon copy, to now make a decision that he wants to opt for DNA TEST, in order to know the real father of his child. People will say such father isn't normal, that, what is he still looking for, after all the resemblances. They'll say such father should be taken to a psychologist for a medical test, to confirm his sanity.
At such, we as true believers of Christ, must also take after the appearance of our heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and be above doubt, so that when people of the world see us, they'll see CHRIST in our lives, positively; in our words, attitudes, behaviors, manner of approach; and in our actions.
As true believers, we must be able to prove the world wrong, that we're not bastards, let us show them that we're the true and authenticated products and genetics-carriers of our heavenly Father, Jesus Christ; in all the good things of life and endeavors in life; physically, spiritually, academically, socially, economically, financially, materially, and so on and so forth.
That's why as true believers of JESUS CHRIST, we must inherit and possess these nine genes and qualities from the family bloodline of our heavenly Father, Jesus Christ; so that we'll not be counted or marked as bastards or harlot's children of the world.
Because, God said in His Holy Bible, “By their fruits, you shall know them.” Let's all be known for good things, in character, behaviors, moral, manners, attitudes, speech, actions or inactions, e.t.c.
And, if at all, you don't have these genes in your bloodstream and body system, you can pray and ask God to help you, so that you too can also inherit these lacking genes and qualities in you. If you truly mean what you're asking for with high sincerity from repentance, God will visit you spiritually, conduct a thorough spiritual medical operation on you, and implant these genes in your bloodstream; in order to become His own, family, and true heirs.
In addition to this, in order to develop our points of view, let's now go deeper into the article, and also look out for biblical characters and personalities, who has truly inherited these genes and qualities, and had displayed them to the world; as our case study.
★ 2PETER 1:3-13:
3 As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 But also for this very reason, giving all DILIGENCE, add to your FAITH virtue, to VIRTUE knowledge, 6 to KNOWLEDGE self-control, to SELF-CONTROL perseverance, to PERSEVERANCE godliness, 7 to GODLINESS brotherly kindness, and to BROTHERLY KINDNESS, LOVE.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more DILIGENT to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
12 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
GOD has released His divine power and had provided everything needed, in abundance, for us to survive on earth, if we're able to obtain the Knowledge of His Holy Son, Jesus Christ, by whom dwell the perfection of the Godhood, through whom the whole earth is blessed beyond measures and understanding of men.
It's now left to us as believers of Christ to claim and utilize these God's Resources and Promises, in order to live a prosperous life, provided we're ready to do His will.

★THE NINE HEREDITARY GENES AND QUALITIES, BELIEVERS MUST HAVE ★
1. FAITH: This is the act of having genuine and established trust and confidence in God, in His Word, His promises, and His character. Faith can also be defined as the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen, but believed strongly and vividly, that they'll come to fruition.
Before sinners or unbelievers repented from their sins, or before anyone come to God, to serve Him, the person must have trusted and believed in the existence of Goo, because if you don't believe in God's existence, it is impossible to have faith faith in Him.
You cannot have faith in someone that you know not or believe not. Having Faith in God as true believers is very essential and paramount, in our spiritual life, because, this define who we are, our True Identity, because, God said that, A believer shall live by faith. He'll be justified by faith.
If you lack faith, there's no how you can go far in the spiritual realm, even in the physical World, because everything is done by one faith to God. Walking with God demands our faith, working in the divine nature of God demands our faith, working out miraculous signs and wonders also demand faith.
There's nothing done on earth, that doesn't require Faith. In every areas, circumstances, endeavors, and aspects in life, each requires our faith, because, faith is the basis on which the Almighty God has placed the attainment of His Divine Power and Authority, because, God said in His word, that, As one thinks in his heart, so he shall be, and what he previews or believes in his heart, so shall it be done unto him.
As believers, we shouldn't joke with this spiritual weapon, called, FAITH, because, faith cannot fails, because, it's God Himself that is called, FAITH!
The CHARACTERISTICS of FAITH:
1. Believing without seeing (Hebrews 11:1): When you have faith in the supremacy of God's divine power, you don't need to see Him, physically, before you can believe Him. Jesus said to His disciples, after His resurrection and appearance to them, “You believe because you see me, but, blessed are those who believe my reports and couldn't see me, just like you saw me. Because, many people lurk to see me, but couldn't, to hear what you're hearing from me, but, they're not opportuned; to see the miracles that I performed, but, couldn't see them.
2. Trusting God's sovereignty (Proverbs 3:5-6): We must trust the supremacy of God's power, that truly He exist and does miraculous things with His divine power. And, that there's no other god like Him.
3. Obeying God's commands (John 14:15): We must obey God's word, that He'd programmed and given us in the Holy Bible, we must believe in His reports, because, there's no prophecies in the Holy Bible, that's by the knowledge or interpretation of man, but, they're by the inspiration and divine revelation of the Holy Spirit, through the holy men of God.
The SIGNIFICANCES of Having FAITH:
1. It's very essential for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9),
2. It's the way of pleasing God (Hebrews 11:6), and
3. Having faith in God leads to overcoming challenges, in life.
The BENEFITS Of Having FAITH:
1. It strengthens our relationship with God. Because, when we know God and believe in God, He'll be very pleased with us, and He'll want to move closer to you, just like you're moving closer to Him, in the knowledge of whom He is.
2. It provides hope and assurance: Faith keeps us assured of a better future. Faith is an insurance of greater heights, greater success, greater wealth, sound health, greater prosperity, greater glory, grace, favor, mercy, etc.
3. Faith enables obedience to God's Word and surrendering unto His Divine Power and Authority.
★ BIBLICAL EXAMPLES:
1. ABRAHAM (Romans 4:18-22) - Demonstrated faith by sacrificing Isaac: God tested father Abraham, that he should sacrifice his only begotten son, Isaac, whom he had through Sarah, and make him a burnt sacrifice unto Him.
But, because, Abraham has faith in God, that, even, if he sacrifice Isaac to Him, God has the supreme power to bring him back to life, because, God had promised him that he shall have children, who shall multiplied and replenished the whole world, and he shall be called, The father of the Nations.
Reward unto Abraham: God provided a ram to be used for the sacrifice, and he's announced by God, as the Father of many Nations.
2. DAVID (1 Samuel 17:45-51) - Trusted God against Goliath: David, who's a young boy, between twelve year old, but his faith was strongly established in God, and he so much believes in God's supreme power, that He's the one that gives strength and makes one victorious, irrespective of the numbers of one's enemies.
David proved his faith to his brothers and the people of Israel, when his father sent him an we're d to send food to his brothers in the battlefield. On getting there, he saw the army of Israel, hiding and lying ambush against Goliath and his soldiers. But, there's no one bold enough to confront him or fight him, even, the king of Israel, Saul, was afraid of Goliath.
But, when David got to the Israel army's camp, and made inquiries on what is happening, they told him about the blasphemy of Goliath against the Almighty God and His Holy Army.
This provoked David, and he said to king Saul that, he should authorized him to go to Goliath and fight him and overcome him, so that he can subdue him and stop embarrassing the Israelites. King Saul was first reluctant to allow him, but, David let him know that the God he serves, the Holy God of the Israelites, who had saved him from lions and wolves in the forest will also save him from Goliath, and delivered Goliath unto him.
David released his faith in God and used it to fight against Goliath, he said when he's approaching Goliath, “You have come to us with clubs, swords and arrows, but, I've come before you, in the name of God, the Lord of Host. He shall deliver you and your soldiers unto me. David released his slingshot and the stone hit Goliath on his forehead; immediately, Goliath fell down flat on the ground, and breathed his last ghost.
Can you see the power of faith in God? How it's helped David! Praise the Living God... HALLELUYAH!!!
Reward: David defeated the giant Goliath, and also became king over Judah and Israel, for forty years.
CCC HYMN 540:
1. I believe Thee whole heartedly,
I believe Thee Lord,
I believe Thee whole heartedly,
I believe Thee Lord.
Chorus: I believe Thee Lord,
I believe Thee,
I believe Thee whole heartedly,
I believe Thee.
Mathew 8:5-10, Mark 2:4-12, 1 Samuel 17:37-51
2. Thou who heard that of Elijah,
Thou who heard that of Hannah,
Thou who heard that of Abraham,
Thou who heard that of Nebuchadnezer,
Who converted to Thee.
Chorus: I believe Thee Lord,
I believe Thee,
I believe Thee whole heartedly,
I believe Thee.
1 Kings 18:21-39, 1 Samuel 1:12-20, Genesis 15:1-6, Daniel 4:34-37
3. CANAANITE WOMAN (Matthew 15:21-29): This biblical reference revealed to us about the story of an old Canaanite Woman that her daughter is suffering from the torment and oppression by a demon. When she heard that Jesus Christ was passing by, through the district of Tyre and Sidon, she followed him and cried profusely after him, saying, “Have mercy on me, oh Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.”
Jesus Christ, who wanted to test her faith, didn't answer her, at first. Moreover, the Canaanite Woman didn't stop from following and crying after Him, this provoked the disciples of Jesus Christ, a d they went to Jesus and said to Him that He should please send her away, for she's embarrassing them, by following and crying after Him. Jesus said to His disciples that, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of the Israel.”
But, the woman, because of her strong faith in Jesus Christ, didn't stop following Him, because she knew in her heart that it's only Him that can cure her daughter from the scourge of the demon.
Jesus, then gave her attention and said unto her, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” But, the woman was never angry with this statement, because, she was hundred percent sure that it's only Jesus that can heal her completely.
The Canaanite Woman, then made a statement that really touched Christ, and He's surprised by the magnitude of her faith, because she's hundred percent with Him, in FAITH. The woman replied Jesus, thus, “Yes, Lord, yet, even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall down from their master's table” This literally means that, I knew that I'm not worthy of you, because, I'm not from the house of Israel, but, by grace, I'm entitled to your divine miracle.
The woman might have been hearing Jesus Christ preaching more about Faith, grace and salvation, that's what propelled her and made her to released her faith, and followed after Him, trusting that He can do it by the divine power and authority given to him by God. Jesus Christ then, replied her and said, “I woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And, her daughter was healed instantly. Praise thy Lord... HALLELUYAH!!!
Reward: Her demon possessed daughter was completely healed and saved from the scourge of the demon.
2. VIRTUES:
This means walking after moral excellence, goodness, and righteousness, without any compromises. Virtue is you walking with righteousness and holiness, both in your words, attitudes and actions.
★ The CHARACTERISTICS of VIRTUE:
1. Living according to God's standards (Psalm 119:1-8)
2. Displaying Christ-like behavior (Galatians 5:22-23)
3. Resisting sin and temptation (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8)
★ The SIGNIFICANCES Of Possessing VIRTUE: Reflects God's character, honors Him, and inspires others.
★ The BENEFITS of Possessing VIRTUE:
1. It brings respect and trust unto you: just like the case between Mary and Joseph
2. It brings joy and peace
3. It also strengthens relationships ties with others, because they would so much cherished you.
★ BIBLICAL EXAMPLES:
1. HOLY MARY: Our Lord's lovely and earthly mother was a perfect example in this regard. She's a virtuous woman, a blessed woman, wholy dedicated to the things of God. She's so humble, hard-working and gracious, in all her doings.
In return, she received the divine Grace of God to deliver unto the Lord JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Savior, who was, who is, and is to come, for His own elects.
She lives an exemplary life, worthy of emulation and stewardship, and she was clothed with grace, favor and God's mercy, and God made her an Everlasting Blessings to the Whole World as a typical example of a Virtuous Woman.
CCC HYMN 883:
1. Mary holy mother
Thou art our confidant,
Help us we pray protect us all,
Because of Thy glory.
Revelation 12:13-17
2. Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
Thou art our confidant,
Help us we pray, protect us all,
Because of Thy glory.
Psalm 91:2
3. Holy Michael, the great warrior,
Thou art our confidant,
Help us as we pray, conquer for us,
Because of Thy glory.
Revelation 12:7-8
2. RUTH (Ruth 3:11) - Demonstrated loyalty and integrity unto Naomi and her family. RUTH was the better half (wife) to Chilion, who's the youngest child of Elimelech, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem, in Judah. Elimelech had a wife called, Naomi, who bore him two male children, called, “Mahlon” and “Chilion”.
When there's famine in the land of Judah, Elimelech, took his family members out of Judah, and went down to the country of Moab and remained there. But, unfortunately, Elimelech died in Moab, and after ten years of their sojourn in Moab, Naomi also lost her only two children, Mahlon and Chilion.
She's now left with her two daughters-in-law, Orpah (wife to Mahlon, the eldest son of Elimelech) and Ruth (wife to Chilion, the youngest son). After the death of her two children, Naomi, then decided to go back to her home country, JUDAH.
She instructed her two daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, to go back to their families and live with them, because she's returning to Judah, they both decided to follow her, but, after much persuasion, Orpah left to her home, while Ruth refused to leave Naomi alone.
Ruth, the virtuous woman knew that Naomi was left with no one, so, she didn't want to leave her lonely with her life, she said to Naomi, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will for, and there will I be buried.”
Ruth sworn not to leave her alone, because, she's directed and controlled by the spirit of God, not to leave her mother-in-law, because if she does, Naomi will die of depression and hypertension, because she'll be thinking of her departed family members, that she'd lost in Moab, to the cold hands of Death.
She abides with her and later got remarried to Boaz, who's a relative of Naomi's husband, who's a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech. In the long run, Boaz got married to Ruth, and bore a son for him, who's named, “OBED” Obed was the father of Jesse, the father of David, who later became the king of Judah and Israel.
It's through Ruth, that the lineage of our Lord, Jesus Christ, originated. Supposed, she'd refused the directive of God's spirit, instructing her not to leave Naomi, she'd have forfeited this great grace to another person.
Reward: Ruth became part of Jesus' lineage.
CCC HYMN 608:
1. Take care of your works in Celestials,
Take care of your works in Celestials,
Over the hills and over the plains,
My eyes behold your deeds in Heaven.
2. Show humility Celestians,
Show humility Celestians,
Work righteously in Celestial Church,
My eyes behold your deeds in Heaven.
Colossians 3:23-24, 1 Thessalonians 1:3
3. KNOWLEDGE: This is the understanding and application of God's truth. As we all know, that, knowledge is power, for without knowledge, one would be living in bo***ge, it's the pure knowledge of God that liberate us and set us free from bo***ges, because, God said in His holy word that, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free! What is that truth? The truth is the True Knowledge of Christ!
It's only through this true knowledge of Christ that we can attain the divine power, which will then unlock the doors of all blessings that pertain to life and the door of godliness. It's by obtaining the Pure Knowledge of Jesus Christ, that we can attain the precious and very great promises of God.
When we get the knowledge of God in our spirit, we'll be connected to the things of God, which will then be a pathfinder to us, because, it's through the Knowledge of Christ that secrets things of God are unveiled to true believers of God.
CHARACTERISTICS OF TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD:
1. It's obtained through studying the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15): When you study the Holy Bible, you'll broaden your spiritual maturity, thereby, you'll grow more in the knowledge of God, on how to live a blessed and fruitful life, on a daily basis.
The word of GOD contains ancient and everlasting TRUTHS that can set one's life free from the bo***ge of whatsoever that your life is entangled with. There's no how one can grow in life, spiritually, without the Word Of GOD.
2. By seeking wisdom (Proverbs 1:7): It's by seeking wisdom that we obtain knowledge of doing things. Before one get knowledge, you'd have had the thirst for something. For example, someone that have the passion for music, and want to know how to play the keyboard, the person will be thirsty for the Wisdom on how to play the musical keyboard. Until, the person go out to those that have had the knowledge of playing the keyboard in their soul, they'll then impart him or her with the Knowledge of the MUSICAL KEYBOARD. It's in wisdom, that you get knowledge. When your words speak wisdom, people will gain knowledge from your words.
3. Furthermore, by applying biblical principles to one's life and endeavors. (James 1:22-25). It's not only by studying the Word Of GOD, but, by applying the principles and knowledge that you've gained from the Word of God.
The True Knowledge of God isn't only by reading the Holy Bible, by it's in the Practical Application of the word to your life. It's in your doings that people will know your true identity, not only by knowing. God said in His word, that, you shall know them by their fruits (what they produced in the physical World from the knowledge they gained).
The SIGNIFICANCES OF TRUE KNOWLEDGE Of GOD:
1. It's essential for spiritual growth, discernment, and obedience.
The BENEFITS of TRUE KNOWLEDGE:
1. It deepens relationship with God: When you move close to God, by studying the Word of God, in order to know Him, better; He will also move closer to you and dine with you. Then, He will be proud to call you, My Beloved Son/Daughter, in the presence of His Holy Angels and Host.
2. It enhances decision-making: You'll be directed on what to do; on the path to thread and where to avoid. What to say and what you're not permitted to say. Who and who to mingle with and who to avoid, etc.
3. It equips for ministry: It's by the true knowledge of God, that the anointed ones are prepared for the work of God. Because, the Word will mould them as who God really wants them to become.
BIBLICAL EXAMPLES:
1. Moses (Psalm 103:7) - Received knowledge from God. God gave Moses the Knowledge of The WORD, on what to tell Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, when it's time for God to set the Israelites free from the yoke and bo***ges of Pharaoh, after so many years.
God, in His abundant mercies sent Moses to them, as His chosen vessel, who's not versed in words or language. But, God gave him more wisdom and knowledge to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and take them to Canaan Land, their promised land of prosperity; which God had promised Abraham to give unto the seeds that originated from him; generations to generations.
It's by the Knowledge of God that Moses took the Israelites out of Egypt and led them to the promised land; who's aided by Aaron: his brother, along with Joshua and Caleb.
Moses was an exemplary leader who led the Israelites out from the land of Egypt, and God made him a great leader in Israel, because he's led by the knowledge of the ALMIGHTY GOD.
Reward: He led the Israelites out of Egypt and was fortified with the Divine Power and Authority of God. He's well honored and respected by all.
CCC HYMN 406:
1. Jehovah, Jesus Christ,
Holy Michael our Captain,
Celestial is before Thee,
In dread and humble spirit,
Longing for the Holy Ghost,
Beauty of Heavenly grace,
Your blessings and upliftment,
Let them be for us.
2. Be fruitful and multiply,
Your promise for Abraham,
This season the coming year,
Thou would surely have a child,
This Thy promise for Sarah,
Fulfilit for the barren,
Who look up to Thee Father,
Children like Isaac.
Genesis 17:19
3. In the depth of the red sea,
Pharaoh and all his army,
All perished and woke no more,
For Israelites, peacefulness,
When all hope was exhausted,
Sea transformed into dry land,
With such powers,
Lead us into life everlasting.
Exodus 14:21-30
4. The wisdom and Thy knowledge,
That Thou gave to Solomon,
Upliftment and salvation,
Like of Joseph and Daniel,
Inspirations from Heaven,
Like of Paul and of Samuel,
Elmorijah who blesses,
Make these all for us.
5. We are all expecting Thee,
Like the children of promise,
Mutual everlasting life both inherit Heaven.
With Thy Spirit pilot us,
Bind us with Thy loins of power,
That we work without blemish,
Life everlasting.
John 14:26, 2 Peter 3:14
2. SOLOMON: Solomon was the son of King David, bore unto him by Bathsheba; and he's heir to the Throne of David, who later became the King of Israel, after many unrest from the house of the king. He's a bonafide product of God's Divine Knowledge and Wisdom.
He received divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding from God, when God visited him in his dream, after he'd offered unto GOD thousands of burnt sacrifices and offerings.
With the knowledge he received from God, he's able to rule the great multitudes of the Israelites. Solomon was favored by God and man. Because, God really blessed him exceedingly without limits, he also gave him wealth, riches and great treasures, and abundance glory, that there's no king that ever has what he had in possession.
Solomon's knowledge was so great to the extent that kings, queens and royal dignitaries came from distant countries to behold his glory and listen to his words of knowledge and wisdom.
Solomon was one of the writers of the Bible, that's led by the spirit of God, in different occasions and events of life.

★ CONCLUSIVE NOTE:
4. SELF-CONTROL:
This literarily means the mastery over one's thoughts, emotions, and actions. Self-control is a great gene that believers must pray for and have it indwelling them on a daily basis, because, a true believer who doesn't have the spirit of self-control in them, are likened to ocean tossed to and fro, without specific directions.
Self-control is very essential and paramount in believers' life, in order to live a godly and fruitful life. Self-control is needed in everything one's doing on earth, we must be able to control our thoughts, emotions, actions and words; in our physical life, spiritual life, moral life, academics, official life et cetera
This powerful gene must be implanted in our bloodline as believers of Christ. If you don't have it, you must ask for God's enabling grace to have it in your bloodstream, in order to live a worthy, distinctive, and exemplary life.
As true believers of Christ, we must be redefined and structured in the knowledge and principles of the ALMIGHTY GOD, which must be our watchwords, and then apply them in our daily activities and endeavors, in life. We must be able to set moralistic and excellent standards on how to live an extraordinary life, in accordance with God's principles, so that we'd know the path to thread and those to avoid, in our daily life.
It really takes the special grace of God to develop on this particular gene, because it conducts, regulates controls every other things in one's life, towards judicious and excellent ends.
The CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF-CONTROL:
1. It's very vital and crucial in regulating emotions and actions, in one's life (Proverbs 25:28).
2. It is very helpful in resisting temptations, (1 Corinthians 10:13)
3. It helps in controlling speech (James 1:26)
THE SIGNIFICANCES:
1. It's very essential for spiritual maturity, relationships, and witness.
ITS BENEFITS:
1. It enhances credibility.
2. Strengthens our relationships with God and men
- Promotes inner peace
Biblical Examples:
1. JOSEPH: Joseph was one of the children of Jacob ( now Israel) bore unto him by Rachel, who died after she gave birth to Benjamin, the younger brother of Joseph. Joseph was a gifted child, who's also blessed with the gift of knowing the correct interpretations to any types of dream.
He's also an handsome man who's envied by his senior brothers. He had dreams and told them to his father and brothers, that he saw the Sun, Moon, and eleven stars bowing down to him and worshipped him. His father scolded him upon revealing this dream to him, that how can he (his father) and his mother along with his eleven senior brothers come to bow before him and worshipped him.
Joseph's dream oppressed and provoked his elder brothers, they conspired and sold him to the Egyptians, where he served as slave in Portiphar's house, and was extremely love and favored by him, and placed the leadership of his whole house under his care.
Unfortunately for him, Portiphar's wife, who'd noticed his handsomeness became worried about him and she's moved by his appearance, decided to have extramarital affairs with Joseph, and was luring him to sleep with her, but, Joseph, who's very conscious of where he came from and where he's going to in life, rejected all her proposals and refused to lie with her.
He always replied her whenever she approaches him to have s*x with him, and says thus, “My master has put the governance of all his house in my hand, but, it's only you, his wife, that he has refrained from me. How should I commit this grievous offense and sin against God and my master, who is your husband! No I refuse to do such thing!”
Joseph had the opportunity to establish relationship with Portiphar's wife and sleep with her, in order to gain her favor, and then escape from slavery, through the manipulative power of Portiphar's wife, but he refused to do such thing and he controlled himself.
Reward: He's later released from prison after sometime, and became a prime minister in the land of Egypt, second-in-command to king Pharaoh. Praise thy Lord. HALLELUYAH!!!
CCC HYMN 633;
The Lord is proclaiming,
The Lord is proclaiming,
Thy ways and thy worship,
Shall take you to Heaven,
If it’s good,
Thy ways and thy worship,
Shall take you to Heaven,
If it’s good.
1 John 3:16-19, Mathew 5:16, Mathew 4:10, James 2:14-26
2. JESUS CHRIST (Matthew 4:1-11): JESUS CHRIST is the Holy and only Son of the Most High and Homo-supremacy GOD. Who's sent from heaven by the Everlasting Father, JEHOVAH ELOHIM, down to the earth, on a Mission to redeem and save mankind from everlasting destruction, as a result of their iniquities, committed by their first parents, Adam and Eve.
Jesus who's sent to the world in a human figure as the Son of man, through Holy Mary and Joseph, his earthly father. He's also a God-in-the-flesh. He dropped his heavenly glory and glorious appearance in heaven and put on flesh, as the Son of man, who humbled Himself and worked according to the will and purpose of God for him, here on earth.
Jesus started his earthly ministry when he's thirty years old and fasted for good forty days and forty nights, without eating or drinking anything. After, the end of the forty days prayers and fasting, in the wilderness, the devil came to him and tempted him, three times in the wilderness.
JESUS CHRIST, who didn't want to show the efficiency and potency of His power and authority to the devil, controlled Himself and refused to yield to the devil's temptations. Although, at that rate, he's extremely hungry, but, he controlled Himself and He's extremely glorified and exalted by God.
Jesus Christ was the perfect example of all the nine hereditary genes and qualities that were listed at the beginning of the year
Reward: He began His public ministry and the Holy Spirit came to minister unto him.
★ PRACTICAL APPLICATION:
1. Let's reflect on areas for growth in the listed virtues.
2. Pray for God's empowerment to cultivate these Genes and qualities.
3. Let's seek accountability and encouragement from fellow believers.
4. Remember God's provision and promises.
REVELATION 22:12-
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
