Achievers’ Act of Audacity in celebrating & commemorating the Death, Burial, Resurrection & Enthronement of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ

Galatians 6:14-16 “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.”

Revelation 5:9-13 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE Power, and Riches, and Wisdom, and Strength, and Honour, and Glory, and Blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”

1 Corinthian 1:17-25 “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

1 Corinthian 2:1-8 “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.“

** Matthew 27:27-53 (A must read before proceeding further)

CALVARY GREETINGS

Shalom & Redemption greetings! Hosanna! Blessed be the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest – Luke 19:38. I bring you special Calvary Greetings in the REDEMPTIVE names of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. I earnestly pray and trust that at the receipt of this April 2010 AFD Edition, all things shall be under your feet and you would be able to lay hold of your redemptive rights, privileges and position in Christ Jesus because of the efficacious power of the Cross of Calvary, Amen!

APRIL 2010 EDITION

I lift up my hands to thank God for His grace that is available for me to make this month’s AFD come your way again. For all my prayer chariots, I thank God for their heartfelt prayers that God’s word through AFD would prevail in all circumstances. Thank you all very much, just keep on keeping on, together we advanced the kingdom of our God by publishing the word, we keep the enemy at bay and we populate the heavens.

In preparing for this edition’s topic which I promised you in the MARCH 2010 publication, my spirit perceived two forces to deal with as I laid out the preamble to this edition. Firstly, it’s the beginning of a new financial year in the United Kingdom in April where I live. Decisions made by the government conveyed in the recent pre-budget speech will shape the economic, political structure and course of the country. Individuals, families, educational institutions, government agencies, entrepreneurs and various aspects of businesses both in the private and public sectors of the nation will find that their lifestyles and mode of operations will be affected by some decisions.

Secondly, the National Elections are coming up in May in the United Kingdom. Whichever Party that wins they will change some decisions in line with the promise that they made while campaigning. Things might change for a lot of people. Nations all over the world have to go through such governance in their own way and in turn affect global forces.

While I appreciate all these efforts being made by various governments and leaders of nations either to – combating terrorism, secure the economy, provide security, improve health services etc - the question that comes to mind is whether the Christian FAITH believer knows full well and has been able to come to terms with the decision of God towards any of the man made decisions, not only for the immediate problems, but in all times in which we live till eternity.

Jeremiah 29:11 (amplified) “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in and a future (in your final outcome)”

3 John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers”.

John 10:10 “The thief come not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

And it’s my great privilege to announce to you that the deed for your ever fulfilling life has been enacted for the rest of your life by the efficacious power on the cross of Calvary. BE WARNED: Understanding the mystery of the word in this Digest will transform and reposition the way you do life. Hence, kindly read the introductory texts meditatively before you begin this journey with me.

The Cross – The WISDOM of God

1 Corinthians 2:7-8 “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

Ephesians 3:9-12 “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.”

Isaiah 55:8-11 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. ”

**Matthew 27:26-53 (A must read before proceeding)

When humanity fell as result of the treason of Adam in Genesis, the scriptures made us understand that man (Adam & Eve – mankind) was cursed along with the perpetrator – the serpent (satan) – of the sinful disobedience to the audacity of God’s laid out way of doing life for mankind. The serpent was not only cursed, God made a very profound prophetic announcement or statement of His plan to redeem man back as found in Genesis 3:15 “And I (God) will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel”

Ever since that very day, the serpent – the devil – has been working overtime to figure out the very seed of the woman. The seed that was to be the very vessel and avenue of God’s eternal plan, purposes and pursuit to end all his satanic and devilish cohorts devices and robbery against mankind. Hence you could see that from Genesis until Christ came, major generations and individuals that appear to be in God’s channel of human redemption were in one way or the other polluted either by sin or disobedience to the heavenly plan of God. Some individuals and groups like the Pharisees, Kings, Pilate’s, Herod’s, Scribes, Lawyers, Philosophers etc were all assisting the devil knowingly or unknowingly to fathom the wisdom of God in His eternal arrangements for human redemption.

And when Christ came to the limelight like others who came before and God made the pronouncement in the course of Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist – “. . . This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” as recorded in Matthew 3:16- 17; And John the baptist making his declaration concerning Christ prior to the baptism as in John 1:29 “. . . Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world”. Satan heard it. He knew then that this was that seed of the woman but lacked the wisdom of God to fathom God divine strategy to make it happen.

The Scriptures recorded in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13 respectively shows how that the devil then tempted Jesus. He does this act of temptation by using the same three ways trickery that he had tried on Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:1-19 wherein they fell and sold their birthright and entire mankind to the devil; the same trick and craftiness which is very active till this day as recorded in 1 John 2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

The scriptures state in verses 13 of Luke chapter 4, that the devil foreseeing that his tricks did not work as planned, he left Christ for a while, then began his gimmicks by using the humans like kings – Herod, Pharisees, Lawyers etc thinking that by their human wisdom they could fathom God’s divine plan and then messed it up. Of course neither satan nor the humans he intended to use could by their wisdom fathom God’s divine wisdom plans, purpose and pursuit for mankind’s redemption.

1 Corinthian 2:8, finally and boldly declares that had the princes of this world known that by the rugged CROSS which looks foolish that mankind REDEMPTION would be accomplished, they would not have crucified Jesus as recorded in the book of Matthew (** Matthew 27:27-53 – A must read before proceeding further). The Cross was and is still today the wisdom of God to end the deed of satan against humanity. The devil, satan was judged on the cross and condemned on the cross to eternal bliss so that you will live in the freedom in Christ Jesus forever. Sin was nailed and judged on the cross. The Scriptures declares that in 2 Corinthian 5:19 ”That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” You can see how strategically that God was in Christ in the whole process and by His infinite wisdom He uses the least expected - The CROSS - to be The WISDOM of God to save mankind. If Christ had not been crucified on the cross – the wisdom of God – humanity would have lived without hope and assurance till this day. But thanks to God, His infinite wisdom – The CROSS – Prevailed, Triumphed and won the Victory for us all, Amen!

Beloved, we can’t by our human wisdom fathom God in His manifold wisdom. For his ways and thoughts are far higher than ours. Infact, they are incomparable as in Isaiah 55:8-11. But by the virtue of Redemption, Christ being the wisdom of God and in you, you can put the devil where he belongs and at a flight. That’s what the book of Ephesians 3:9-12 speaks about. You can by the cross – the wisdom of God rule and reign in life today. That means, that by the many-sided and manifold wisdom of God, we can overcome, triumph and win in life as we allow the efficacious done work of the cross to take its place in our daily live. This is the right of the Church – Praise God, Hallelujah, Amen!

The Cross – The Manifestation Acts of Sons

Romans 8:19-23 “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. ”

Galatians 4:1-7 “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Therefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”

Isaiah 53:8-11 “He was taken from prison and from judgement: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Psalms 22:30-31 “A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.  They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.”

**Matthew 27:26-53 (A must read before proceeding)

Way before Christ came to deliver us, mankind longed to see their Redemption. Hence the Jews were mad with John the baptist and Christ, considering them per se as political deliverer or a special leader to emancipate them from the oppression of the Roman Empire in the bible days. The scripture records in Romans 8:19-21 the earnest of the groaning and great expectations of creation for the manifestation of Sons of God. Son-ship position indicates a place of knowing and exercising authority in the kingdom. A place of knowing your rights, benefits, taking responsibility and actualising them to make life worth living. God’s plan is not to make babies or keep people as children, lest the devil will take them for a right and THERE ARE TOO MANY BABIES AND CHILDREN IN THE KINGDOM TODAY – see Hebrews 5:11-14.

Galatians 4:1-7 helps to indicates that as long as we are children we will be unskillful in the words of grace as in Hebrews 5:11-14. But that Son-ship makes us mature and is the place and position of reigning and ruling in life. This is what Adam was until he committed treason by selling our birth-right to the devil. That’s why Jesus is acclaimed son of God – that is the place or position of being in charge of your life, not – government’s, career etc or the devil determining your destiny.

Son-ship positioning was and is God’s intention for His people. No room for cowards, the fearful and inferiority complex in the kingdom. For God cause to be, by His wisdom He planned another strategy to stop satan and his cohorts - the demons - by raising a breed of sons to make a generation by the Cross. This generation will be called sons (all gender – male and female). In Matthew 1:1, God staged that a generation shall be born or raised as sons to stop the groaning in Romans 8:19-21 as in other scriptures. Hence it began by the statement as in King James Version – “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the on of Abraham.” See the Word – Generation! Not genealogy as used by some translation and which can delude people from perfect knowledge of the scriptures in some cases. The used of the term Generation indicates a new breed of people – 1 Peter 2:9, who are called in 2 Corinthians 5:17 - New Creation personality. This people we are told in Revelation 5:9-10 are redeemed by the blood of Christ from every kindred, nations tongue and people etc.

This generation are not traceable to Adamic generation anymore but to Jesus generation which I call REDEMPTION generation - Jesus being our redemption. This generation are to be born out of the bosom of Christ stead in God. But a question comes to mind. How can Christ generate a generation of sons unto God if He did not marry, because the law of creation under the sun indicates that it takes two to make a generation. But God has a wisdom plan that the princes of this world cannot fathom – It’s the Cross. God wants to bring forth many sons as Jesus to bruise the head of satan as he bruised their heel while Christ is in glory seated at His right-hand and these sons may be on earth but positioned at the right-hand of Christ with the Father as joint heirs reigning in authority.

The scripture speaks of sons of God in Romans 8:14-17 (see more Gal. 6:14-15; 3:26-29; Col. 3:10-11; Eph. 2:14-15. How did they come about – this generation of sons? This was the same question being asked in Isaiah 53:8 “who will declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living . . . “. Besides, Matthew 1:17, tells us about the lineage or genealogy of Jesus and that Jesus was supposedly called the 42^nd generation of that lineage and now wants to raise his own lineage or generation not being married. How then did God plan to declare a generation of Jesus when he never married or Jesus never had a son to continue a lineage for Him.

Am glad to announce to you that the seed of Jesus actually came forth to be when God made His Soul an offering for sin on the cross as the Passover lamb. It was in that act of being pierced and opened, that you and I and every born again believer came forth. Get this, just as God opened the first Adam’s side and brought forth Eve to kick start a human generation, in-same-like-ness God brought a special breed of son-ship generation when he caused the side of Jesus to be pierced and opened while on the cross as in the following scriptures:

John 19:34-37 “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.”

1 John 5:4-8 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”

Isaiah 53:10 “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand”

Psalms 22:30-31 “A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.”

Beloved, a seed shall serve Him and each seed accounted a generation. Know this day that you are a special breed. A generation breed that indeed supersede Adamic nature through the blood of Christ – THE PASSOVER LAMB – for our REDEMPTION! Jesus blood by which you are hewed from have no Adamic nature of cancer and any form of diseases named or to be named. And by this redemptive blood of your salvation is what made you a son. You can arise with authority and put an end to all that craft work of satan against your life. Its time to stop looking for people to console and feel pity for you but arise on your own ground and win the life battle, demanding satan to get his stuff out of your domain. You are a special breed – Praise God, Amen.

The Cross – The Efficacious Power of The Crucifixion

John 19:1-2 “Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.”

John 19:16-18 “Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.”

John 19:32-37 “Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.  For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.”

**Matthew 27:26-53 (A must read before proceeding)

The scriptures of the book of John chapters 19 and Isaiah chapters 52; 53 and Matthew chapters 27 and others of the Gospel chapter’s show the condition in which Christ died when crucified at the cross. The scripture of John 19:1 speaks of the Scourged which Jesus was subjected to by the then Pilate.

And from the account of Matthew 27:26-28 “A Scourged was a Roman implement for severe bodily punishment. Research indicates that it consists of a handle with about a dozen leather cords with jagged pieces of bone or metal at the end to make the blow more painful and effective. The victim was tied to a post and blows were applied to the bare back, loins and sometimes to the face and bowels. The flesh was cut in several places by each blow. So hideous was the punishment that the victim often fainted and some died under it. It was designed to get confessions and secrets from its victims, but what could they get from an innocent sinless one – Acts 22:24-26? Flogging was permitted by the law up to 40 stripes – Deuteronomy 25:3. Jews reduce it to 39 stripes – 2 Corinthians 11:23-25. Now, if the scourge used on Jesus has 12 thongs and He was hit even 39 times this would make 468 stripes. If some struck in the same place and act deeper each time one can see how his body, because of the intense hatred, back of each blow, He was marred more than any man’s as recorded in Isaiah 52:14 “As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men”.

“Death by crucifixion was one of the most cruel and shameful deaths that could be devised. It is supposed to have been invented by SEMIRAMIS – Queen of NIMROD- who founded Babylonian system of mysteries – Rev.17:5. It was a Roman practice inflicted ONLY upon slaves and the worst criminals. The person was nailed to the cross each hand extended to the utmost stretch. The feet were nailed together, and then the cross was lifted and dropped into the hole with a violent thud which disjointed the whole body. The weight of the body hung on nails through the hands and feet. A victim was left on the cross until he died of pain and untold sufferings”

Jesus was crucified between two robbers to shame him, with crowns of thorns upon his head he bled, nailed on his feet and hands and pierced on the sides of his loins he bled, that he might bring forth REDEMPTION to all mankind as recorded on the following scriptures – Matthew 27:27-36; John 19:16-37; Isaiah 53:1-12 (kindly read them please). The mystery of the crucifixion of Jesus has great significance, and is efficacious for the following reasons:

1. He bled through His back – To endorse our access to divine healing and health as lost in Eden of Adam– John 19;1; Isaiah 52:14; 1 Peter 2;24; Isaiah 53;4-5, Matthew 8:16-17, Acts 10:38.
2. He bled through His Head – To endorse our access to be the head, be in charge and crown with authority and not a failure as it was lost in Eden of Adam. John 19:2; Matthew 27:27-31 (original cursed- Genesis 3:17-18); Gal. 3:6-9; 13-14; 26-29; Romans 2:28-29; Ephesians 2:13-14; Numbers 23:23; Colossians 3:3; Psalm 91:1-2; Isaiah 54:14-17; Gen 1:26-28.
3. He bled through His Hands – To endorse that the works of your hands might prosper which was cursed in Eden of Adam – John 19:16-18; Deut. 28:8, 12; *Genesis 43:12; Deut. 12:7; (*Gen. 3:17-19 original cursed); 2 Cor. 8:9; John 10:10; Deut. 8:18; 3 John 2; Job 36:11; Malachi 3:10; Genesis 8:20-21,
4. He bled through His feet – To endorse that every where the sole of your feet will tread on you shall have as a possession. Bruising the head of satan as it was before it was lost in Eden of Adam – (Gen. 3:14-15 – original cursed); Josh. 1:3-4; Luke 10;18-19; Heb. 2:14-15; Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 5:17; Rom 16:20.
5. He bled through His side – To endorse you manifestation as Son to rule and reign in life, and most importantly to access unhindered fellowship with God as your Father now as a son which was lost in Eden of Adam. John 19:32-37; John 20:17b; Zechariah 12:10; Exodus 2:46; Zechariah 13:1. (Son-ship – seed was born as in Isaiah 53:10-11)

By the cross crucifixion experience of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord, we have access to all that God intended for mankind’s REDEMPTION. Thank you Jesus for taking my place to pay the debt I could not have been able to pay – The Cross crucifixion!

The Cross – Redemption Act: From Curse To Blessing

Gal 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.  ”

Col. 1:12-14 “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: “

Eph. 1:7 “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:”

Genesis 3:1- 19 “. . . And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

I will be grateful to God for all mentors and teachers and books, messages stored in various electronic devices that God has brought my way over the years to sharpen and shape my life in Christ. In all, the most credible is coming to know the Bible for myself that Christ has redeemed me from the curses over my life to His eternal purpose blessings both for the now and for the life to come. This revelation has completely changed my life till date. When I came to know that Christ had redeemed me not precisely only from the curse of the law but from the curse of the fall, my transformation of FAITH in Him completely became translated and revolutionised.

I know that many people know about their redemption from the curse of the law but when it comes to the curse of the fall they can’t fathom it. Hence I have included it in this edition:

1. The Curse of the Fall: (Genesis 3:1-19) – This is when Adam, Eve and the serpent broke the order of God. These three where cursed by God as a result of their action which eventually spread upon humanity until this day. To each was apportioning in this respect:

a. To Adam –

Gen. 3:17:19 “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

Ever since God spoke to Adam in a cursed term, all generation of mankind have gone through pain to make a living. And with the global economic atmosphere you can have reason to come to terms even now. In Europe they call it working for your bills and the tax man. But be it known to you that with God on what Christ has done for you, there are lots of opportunities today on how to make a living and be stress free. The concept on working and complaining and murmuring should not be for a believer. Stop for a moment! When last did you take stock on the job you do that gives you pains and robs you of your peace in Christ. Or the jobs you do that you think without you nobody else can or will do it hence you must give in to all manner of stress in the name of diligence without an holiday or time off. That’s not of God. There is wisdom from God that enables you to do a work and live free from stress and worries and all manner of anxiety that have held you bound. Ask of God He will give you that wisdom – James 1:5.

Jesus in Mark 6:30-31, had to stop the disciples from work and commission them towards having a holiday or time off in a no job working area or zone to have a rest. This is the wisdom from above. They went with Jesus had some leisure and rest before they cut their life time short all in the name of hard working. I therefore compel you to stop your human wisdom and learn sense from the Redemption Jesus for a restful refreshing life by the Holy Ghost – Isaiah 28:9-12.

b. To Eve –

Gen.3:16 “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”.

When I spoke to my wife that its possible to deliver safely without undergoing the supposed pain that is mostly attributed to all during delivery, it was another story. But when I took her through the scriptural process of her redemption and the act of Christ in it, the rest is history. Infact, the midwifes in two of the occasions where startled that somebody can come to the hospital relax and before they could finish all the necessary protocol and bed arrangement, babies are on the way to be born. God saved me at a point, I would have become an emergency midwife in the car on one occasion while taking her to the hospital and baby Joel was not ready to wait. Thank God I prayed my way to get there. Baby routine check in Paper work was only done after baby was born and born along with the sack intact then broken afterwards to get baby out at least for the usual cry. Thinking next time that going early to the hospital for baby Zachary for necessary paper work, he was more shocking to the midwife than we thought. The midwife thought we had come too early and it may have been false labour since she could not see any so called proper sign. She went away to only come back and found baby on his way to be born without hitches of any sort. May God be praised for all the great fulfilments we’ve seen Him do in our life in regards to these testimonies. Amen

While am saying all these, because I found it in redemption package that Sarah of Father Abraham in Hebrews 11:6, by her FAITH received strength to CONCEIVE and to DELIVER just like the Hebrew women of Exodus 1:15-22. Not just that, because I found this redemption act in 1 Tim. 2:13-15, that a woman can be saved and safe in child bearing as she lined up her life with the scriptural truth imbedded in that verse context. You can see another redemption act promise in Luke 1:45 and Exodus 23:25-26.

This is not just my notion or personal testimony only, but a countless experience I have seen with pregnant women who attend my Ministry FAITH Surgery. These Pregnant and expectant mothers testify as they get hold of the scriptures been shared with them. For the just shall live by His FAITH – (Habakkuk 2:4b)

c. To The Serpent –

Gen. 3:14-15 ”And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel”.

I shared in my last month episode how by the exercising of my redemption right authority I overcame a conman using charms, spells, hypnotising ability to reap people off of their Joy and finances. Jesus has given us authority over the devil and demons, it is our responsibility to enact or enforce it in any and every circumstances we find ourselves otherwise the devil will take advantage of us in determining our daily life in spite of our REDEMPTION. (Matt. 28:18; Mark 16:16-20; Luke 10:19)

We could see that from all the context of this edition that Christ has nailed and judged satan on the cross. We need not fight in this battle with the devil by any way of having confrontation or contention, but for you to take your place and determine for the devil and his cohorts where they should be. You are too good and too glorious to allow a defeated fool called satan nor his cohorts agents to determine you destiny.

2. The Curse of the law: (Gal. 3:13-14; Col. 1:13; Deut. 28:1-68 kindly read it)

What Jesus did on the Cross by way of crucifixion granted us freedom from the curse of the law. It was a divinely arranged and ordered and was not known to satan nor his agents the eternal purpose of the infinite wisdom of God. A genuine study of the scriptural book of Deuteronomy 28 will show the blessings and the curses. The curses stating from verses 14 to 68 can be summed up in three words: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. And the announcement of Christ ministry in Luke 4:16-20 on that customary day in Nazareth Synagogue gives you a conclusion that the essence of his death on crucifixion day was to end our POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL IMPOVERISHMENT through death on the Cross.

Jesus’ redemption act on the cross was to end this IMPOVERISHMENT hence he said in his final word it is “FINISHED” – John 19:30. Poverty is relative. I have seen men in ivory houses poverty stricken spiritually just as some people are physically stricken with poverty of nourishment. In same manner, it applies as to our health and every area of our life. As relative as it seems all of them have been dealt with on the cross and it’s not a kingdom act of redemption or sign of been spiritual or righteous to live and die through poverty like Lazarus then go and stay in Abraham’s Bosom instead of your own bosom – Luke 16:19-31. It’s not spirituality to live in another person’s servant’s quarter instead of your own main house. Now change your thinking and rise up by faith and see God prosper you even as promised in the following scriptures and more – 3 John 2, John 10:10, Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 35:27; Job 36:11 etc.

I promise you, it’s easier and better to serve God being prosperous, than to be poverty stricken for it hinders the advancement of the Gospel, kills and destroys human life faster than cancer and frustrates good hearted people. Besides, it humiliates and robs you of good and healthy friendships. Read through the scriptures, in the book of Wisdom of Solomon no man makes intimacy with a poverty stricken fellow. They may relate to help but don’t keep you in their inner heart for intimacy. Hence you must keep at bay any sign of indebtedness out of your life and work in the grace of God upwards. For the poor tell more lies than the rich, I promise you. Poverty frustrates and ruins good relationship. Infact, it turns a Pastor’s anointing into announce and start blaming members. I hate it and I don’t want it to be my next door neighbour. Listen, you are worst than poor if you don’t pay your tithe. It shows how impoverished you are, repent and get born again and again. Make no friendship with a Christian who doesn’t pay his or her tithe. If they can rob God’s storehouse against redemption they can rob anybody – Malachi 3:8-12 (special bible teaching for you).

Wake up to be prosperous, be in health, even as your soul prospers spiritually and otherwise, for Christ have done the deed for you and all mankind.

**Matthew 27:26-53 (A must read)

The Cross – Access To The Blessings

Ephesians 4:7-11 “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers”

Psalm 68:18-19 “Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.”

Ephesians 1:1-6 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”

Rev 5:9-12 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”

2 Peter 1:1-4 “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

Gal 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.  ”

Looking at the scriptures above, we can conclude that indeed Christ has not only redeemed us but have also given us GIFTS AND BLESSINGS. The Scriptures of Ephesians 4:8 and Psalms 68:18 indicate that by the accomplishment of the father God demands to ransom mankind on the Cross, He gave gifts to them and received blessings on mankind behalf as indicted in Revelations 5:12. (Full details of the protocols that leads to this blessings being received and gifts being given are explained in the Easter special TEACHING Edition accompanying this APRIL edition)

1. HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN: (Psalms 68:18/Eph. 4:7-8, 11 etc)

In His accordance to build His Church as promised in Matthew 16:17-19, He gave both spiritual gifts and ministry gifts to men: The spiritual gifts which are merely spiritual to enable men function in the Church are as found in 1 Corinthians 12:1-26 especially in verses 4-11 and Galatians 5:22-23 and the ministry gifts are men empowered with spiritual gifting and are those He specifically set in the Church for some specific purposes and are called Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelist and many other names but a few for the mentioned as found in Ephesians 4:7-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:27-31. Others by names are mentioned for various purposes as found in the scriptures ( see these – Acts 2;38-47; Romans 12:3-8; 1Cor. 14:1-6, 26-31; Eph. 5:18-20; Col. 3:16-17 etc.).

2. HE RECEIVED BLESSINGS FOR MEN: (Rev. 5:12; Ephesians 1:3; Heb. 9:15)

In the same way as in (1) above, Jesus in accomplishing the Father demands for mankind REDEMPTION received blessings for men to enable us to live secured in the rights, privileges and position we lost in Adam on earth. When Jesus led captivity captives - Psalm 68:18, He obtained our redemption – rights and privileges - in the will of God for us to enjoy as His blessings.

These blessings are there for us to actualise or appropriate by Faith into our life by Christ Jesus who is the custodian of them on our behalf. Let’s just consider the major covenanted ones in our REDEMPTION as in Rev. 5:9-12 with special interest on verses 12:

Seven redemptive covenant deeds received on our behalf are summed up in these:

1. Power (Authority) – In place of oppression, fear, intimidation etc. – Luke 10:19; 2 Tim. 1:7. etc.

2. Riches (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst etc. – 2 Cor. 8:9; Phil. 4:19. etc.

3. Wisdom (Mental) – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc – James 1:5, Luke 2:40, 52. etc.

4. Strength (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness and all ‘ness etc. – Phil. 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-31. etc.

5. Honour (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, disdain, inferiority complex etc. – Col. 1:13-14; Eph. 1:7; 2 Tim. 1:7. etc.

6. Glory (Beauty) – In place of shame, reproach, etc. Isaiah 61:3; 1 Pet. 2:5, 9. etc.

7. Blessings (Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc. – Eph. 1:3; 2 Pet. 1:3-4; John 10:10. etc

Spend time to ponder over these gracious acts of Christ and pray them into your personal life. I trust God to meet you with His word answering to your dear needs that mere human wisdom cannot fathom.

FINALLY: The Cross – The Audacity to Celebrate & commemorate.

Psalm 110:1-3 “The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.”

Romans 1:16-17 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

1 John 4:17 “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.”

Galatians 6:14-16 “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.”

Apostle Paul declares in Romans chapter one verses sixteen scriptures as in the above texts that he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because he knows full well that there is power in the gospel of the cross – 1 Cor. 1:18. He even said further in Galatians chapter’s six verses fourteen and fifteen that he will make boast of the cross, because it’s by the cross he became what he is and will ever be. All through his writings in the epistles you can fathom same attitude in all time. This act of Apostle Paul in the light of the scriptures compels me to make my boast and celebrate as we commemorate Him all over the world on His Crucifixion Death, Burial, Resurrection and enthronement. I don’t know what constitute your act to boast and celebrate today.

The Scriptures in Psalms 110 1-3, says that God has purposed to send the rod of His strength through Zion, which is the Church and Body of Christ against the enemy of our FAITH and his cohorts – Hebrews 12:22-24; Eph. 3:9-12. And when we take a step of Faith – willingly volunteer – God will pour his dew - anointing– of the morning upon us and renew us with the strength as of a youth. The scriptures went further to say that as He – Christ – is so are we now in this present world - 1 John 4:17b; Ephesians 2:6-10.

Beloved Achiever in Christ, I urge you today, to take out time and meditatively ponder the amount of information being made available to you by this April 2010 AFD edition. You must come to terms to live by the graces that Christ has made available to you in God’s wisdom and stop living within your limited mind or wisdom. It’s time to celebrate through knowledge and not by the old religious mindset of commemorating this season of Easter holidays. I pray earnestly for you that in your celebration and commemoration that you come to terms with three things I am living you with:

1. That you come to behold what Christ has DONE FOR you by the CROSS.

2. That you come to behold what Christ has DONE IN you by the CROSS.

3. That you come to behold what Christ is DOING FOR you now, because of the CROSS.

Until I come your way again, have a blessed celebration of ALL Jesus is to you by the Cross crucifixion through this month of APRIL. Jesus loves you, so do I. MARANATHA!

DARE To Celebrate & Commemorate Your REDEMPTION . . . It’s your Redemption MANDATE . . . You Have The AUDACITY Today . . . For He is Risen & Enthroned!

In His World For His Glory,

Pst Chukie MORSI

Triumphing By The Blood Of The LAMB

- Achievers’ ANTIDOTE And ONSLAUGHTS To The Enemy Of Our FAITH -

2 Corinthians 2:14 “Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”

Revelations 12:10-11 “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb; and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

Exodus 12:1-5, 7, 12-13 “And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: . . . And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. . . For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

Greetings

Shalom & Kingdom greetings! May the grace, peace, joy and love of God possess you in the precious, awesome and redemptive name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. It gives me great pleasure and joy to welcome you into this triumphant month as I present to you this MARCH 2010 AFD edition. I pray and trust that this month’s AFD will bring you to a place of triumph in every circumstance of life that have limited you and questioned the essence of your FAITH TESTIMONY in Christ Jesus, AMEN.

Firstly, I want to thank God for all the testimonies and responses of appreciation that have been coming in as a result of the JANUARY and FEBRUARY 2010 edition. Thus, indicating how much of God’s word through the AFD is reaching out for the good of mankind especially in the household of FAITH. Secondly, may the good Lord be earnestly praised and magnified for all the inspirations, revelations and empowerment attributed to us – to share the word of His grace to all and sundry and to the household of FAITH across nations, races, genders, generations and denominations.

Preamble

I hope that this MARCH Edition – Triumphing by the Blood of the LAMB – will grant you and every achiever the enabling grace to triumph in all that they desire and trust God to bring about in their lives. More especially, in dealing and triumphing over all the set backs and fears of becoming or achieving the set goals and dreams in all that pertains to life and godliness – 2 Peter 1:1-4. The Blood of the Lamb – Christ - is the antidote and onslaught to triumph and endorse your daily victory and triumph in all that be in life for all God’s people and mankind in general.

Triumph is the perception and feeling of great happiness resulting from a victory or major achievement. It also means the act and condition of being victorious. Being raised up in a typical African tradition family and in an environment where the blood spill of animal sacrifice to appease the gods was dominance and a life style until God’s salvation came to my family, I can boldly inform you how powerful the matter of the blood means to life and how efficacious the blood of Christ is to win victorious over all odds of the enemy.

All sorts of covenants and contracts have to be endorsed by the blood, and life is in the blood indeed – Leviticus 17:11, 14 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul . . . For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.” (See also Deuteronomy 12:22-24). This scriptures, indicates and signifies how vital and authentic the issue of triumph in the blood is to our daily life affairs today. The blood is the divine arranged plan to completely smash and render powerless forever the strongholds of satan and his cohorts against us. The efficacious blood of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour accomplished the deed for our FAITH, to guarantee us eternal victory and triumph. Amen.

Triumphing In Every Place – Your Promised in God’s WORD

2 Corinthians 2:14 “Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”

Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Mark 16:15-20 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”

I have come to know that when people succeed or fail in life, they talk about it. Sometimes so much – like the society I live in – people are more prone to speak negative than positive about issues in life in order to be accepted or to avoid being acclaimed as a fanatic. And I have chosen to achieve and succeed in life and compel all to achieve and succeed because our God is an achiever. Knowing full well that our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in His triumph over our enemy and cohorts was and is a day to day discussion in betrayal until this day. Christ was spoken of and is still being spoken of by people and enemies alike. They do this while challenging the authenticity of our REDEMPTION – Matthew 28:11-15.

Triumph in every place is the promise of God to all according the holy writ of 2 Corinthians 2:14 and Matthew 28:20b. Jesus gave a command and not advice for great achievement and success. He promised to be there until we surely triumph. We see in the scriptures that as the disciples – which we are by His grace – who later become apostles, walk in obedience to achieve triumphantly. The Lord is with them in every place, where they go, working with them and accompanying their doings with miraculous signs - (Isaiah 1:19; Mark 16:15-20) and Joshua 1:1-4 “. . . the LORD spoke unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying . . . now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. . . Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you . . . From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.”

It was this kind of knowledge that apostle Paul, writing to the Corinthians Church in 2 Corinthians 2:14, indicated. That TRIUMPH in EVERY PLACE is God’s intention in Christ Jesus for all people of all nations, even as said by Apostle Peter in Acts 10:34-36. When you gave your life to our Lord Jesus Christ, a new DNA default was implanted or engrafted into you – hence you are called a new creation – 2 Corinthian 5:17; Galatians 6:14-15. The old life default of defeat, failure and regret consciousness, mentality and such like was completely washed and cleansed away and a new default of triumph, victory, success and such like was then downloaded and transferred into your being – 1Thesselonians 5:23; Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7

I challenge you to consistently run the TRIUMPH browser as your DEFAULT in every aspect of your life. By doing this, you triumph over all that you set your feet on, just like Joshua in Joshua 1:3-4. You activate your FAITH in order to become an ACHIEVER, creating an opportunity and avenue of greatness by the act of enacting a triumph default consciousness. Triumph need not be a wish but a deliberate resolution and defined plan, purpose and pursuit of God from when Adam fell until Christ came for all mankind. Triumph is not a wish but a designed and arranged plan of God for you. But if you are going about browsing failure, defeat, pity and setbacks and such like, you can’t live triumphantly.

Beloved, do you live in the consciousness of being a victor, a winner, and a success. Do you live in the consciousness of yesterday’s failures, mistakes, defeat, setbacks and being an under achiever? Are your conscious acts in all respects as a result of God’s sayings and words or other sources? Is God’s word your default browser or is it the media – television newscast, newspapers publications, internet complexities, family traditions, society norms and self-belief your default. Is it your spouse, parents or children or friends whose browser is your default?

I make bold to declare in Christ Jesus that until one makes God’s word a conscious default browser in their daily life, TRIUMPH in every place will be eluded. It is a choice to live all your life complaining, murmuring and blaming people and circumstances for your limitations. It is also a choice to arise and shine in the awesome, amazing and majestic beauty of the glorious plan of God for you to triumph everyday in everyplace as inscribed in Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.”

You’re DNA IN CHRIST – Gives The Right To Triumph

2 Corinthian 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Galatians 6:14-15 “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.”

2 Corinthians 1:1 “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:”

The word – DNA – speaks of genetics, and is defined as “Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This is the main constituent or component of the chromosomes of all organisms, and is the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms – like for like”.

In life, people will say or make comments like – I am acting or behaving in this way because it’s in my blood or DNA and it runs in the family. Meaning if one is poor, the likelihood is that all will be poor or good percentage are going to be poor in the family or lineage no matter how much they try to make a difference. If one died young or through a deadly disease or by car accident or any other strange happening, that all may likely die in the same ways as it runs in the family. This kind of notion becomes a great worry when you hear a supposedly redeemed born again child of God making similar statements when they are in crisis or facing some challenges.

Beloved, it is irrelevant whether or not you have a family history of divorce, cancer disease, childlessness, late marriages, poverty, never-do-well and many others, the day you gave your life to Jesus, a new you for a new dawn was born and began to come to be. The scriptures say in 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 6:14-15 and 2 Corinthians 2:14 that if any man comes to Christ, such becomes a new personality, the old personality and Adamic family history is gone, a new you is come to be in Christ Jesus. There is a spiritual exchange which is spiritually vital and legal in life that takes place as a result of that simple act of being born of God. It is for this exactness of FAITH that in the epistles writings that the apostles for example will start in their writings in a particular manner as shown in 2 Corinthians 1:1 and Colossians 1:1 and Ephesians 1:1 and Philippians 1:1 and 1 Peter 1:1 and James 1:1 and Jude 1 etc. That is, by using the phrase ‘of Christ’ or ‘of Jesus’ or ‘of Jesus Christ’. The use of the word “of” indicates the done deed of a new DNA as the default at work in their life. Hence they were assured and insured to have triumph in life and ministry. This help to indicate why the apostles refused to reckon their knowledge of Christ in a fleshly - humanly - manner as most people would have love to do religiously as indicated in – 2Corinthians 5:16.

“Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.”

In the same spirit as that of the apostles, I want you to know that by coming into the beloved-hood of God, your life was redeemed, translated and transformed into the image of Christ in order to triumph in every place be it in the – valleys, mountains, hills, crooked roads and rough places of life - (Galatians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:13-14; Isaiah 40:3-5).

Beloved friend, it’s irrelevant the history of your life or family. Now that you are born of God, you have a new identity and the power to put an end to the enemy’s intended plan. You need to devolve yourself of the past and develop a new consciousness of triumph mentality and consciousness as a transformed child of God. You need to do a rework in your mind set as in indicated in the scripture:

Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

You have to reprogram your life browser into a new default by the word of God. For your FAITH on your new DNA determines your triumph in life as says in 1 John 5:4-5 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our FAITH. Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?”

In God’s browser, the default enables you to triumph, live victoriously and overcome in challenges no matter how tense the matter may be. I believe that you can end that family history of set back, fears, limitations, abuse, divorce, poverty, indecent marital relationships and foundations, poverty and laziness etc by inclining to God’s default browser which enables you to win. For you can now do all things through Christ – DNA default – that strengthens you – Philippians 4:13. For your DNA of triumph is in the blood of the Lamb – Lord Christ Jesus – Amen.

The Blood of The LAMB – The DNA of TRIUMPH

Exodus 12:12-13 “For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

Psalm 105:37-38 “He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.”

Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

John 1:29-30 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me”

Thanks to God for the blood of the Lamb! The scriptures tell us that the Lamb of God is Jesus Christ. He is, that was slain and who shed His blood for our triumph and victory in life. The blood of Jesus is the grand finale to answer and to deal with all the life affairs that come our way. It is by the blood of the lamb in a figure that the first Church – the Israelites’ – obtained their deliverance from the bondage and rigour of the land of Egypt. There also, they obtained their prosperity as they obtained their deliverance by the blood of the lamb – Psalm 105:37-38; Exodus 12:29-36. The blood of the lamb is the verdict, antidote and onslaught that can end the perpetrated works and activities of satan and cohorts pursuit in the life of all mankind especially in those where demonic sacrifice and dedications have taken root. (You can order my website study on “Redeeming The Land” Teaching Series)

The blood of the Lamb is the flag bearer, banner and signpost that can thwart, divert and end all the fiery darts and works of the enemy of our joy in our FAITH. The blood of the lamb is the Highway Code and traffic control board to all that wants to get into your life. It indicates red light and diverts all the satanic and cohorts advances and gives green light to all about God concerning you in life and godliness. There is no amber light for stand still; it’s either red to divert or green to welcome in and allow all goodness to go through into your life.

The blood of the Lamb –Christ Jesus – is the DNA of your life of TRIUMPH. Where there is No Blood of Christ – There is No TRIUMPH! For whatever is not of the blood is not of God say the Holy Scriptures. There is power in the blood. The efficacy of the blood is what satan and cohorts can’t fathom. It is the finale cure to his grip on me. The blood has delivered me and set my family free from the grips of satanic bondage. When you daily activate the blood as your default browser, your daily triumph becomes certain. You need to ensure, insure, secure and authenticate the vitality and legality of your life, faith and works of your hand by the blood, if you don’t want the enemy and his cohorts to encroach into all your life plans, purpose and pursuit. The Blood is your DNA of TRIUMPH.

The Efficacious Blood of the LAMB – The Reason for TRIUMPH

HEBREWS 9:11-22 “But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”

The Blood of Christ Jesus is EFFICACIOUS! It’s by this act of efficacy that we can boast of triumph. The believer in Christ must come to the understanding that the blood produces – effective and effectual - result no matter the level of the situation and what failures others may have thought of the blood in their human concept. The blood is not just a part of ceremony to be observed religiously as is often done in the act of Holy communion sacrament services but a wonderful tool to live our Faith life on, the FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, by whom we are victorious and triumphant.

Let’s us now examine some scriptures to authenticate the efficacious and effectual power in the blood of the lamb – Christ Jesus:

1. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its DELIVERANCE Power

Colossians 1:13-14 “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins”.

Exodus 12:7, 12-13 “And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. . . For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

2. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its REDEEMING Power

1 Peter 1:18-21“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.”

Galatians 3:13-14“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

3. The Blood is efficacious – Because of Its RECONCILIATORY Power

Ephesians 2:11-19 ” Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God”

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

4. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its TRANSCENDING Power

Revelations 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

Galatians 3:26-29 “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

5. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its PURCHASING Power

Acts 20:28 “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.”

1 Peter 1:3-5 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

6. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its EMBOLDENING Power

Hebrews 10:19-20 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh”

Hebrews 4:14-16 “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power (boldness), and of love, and of a sound mind.”

7. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its CLEANSING Power

1 John 1:7-10 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

8. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its ATONING or PACIFYING Power

Romans 3:23-26 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”

9. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its OVERCOMING Power

Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

1 John 5:4-5 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”

10. The Blood is efficacious – Because of its INSPIRATIONAL Power

Revelation 5:9 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation”

Revelation 5:11-14 “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”

The Blood of The Lamb – Is Your FAITH TESTIMONY To Frame & Shape Your World

Revelations 12:10-11 “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb; and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

1 John 5:4-5 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Hebrews 11:3 “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

In life we are constantly contending for our FAITH and TESTIMONY with diverse manifestation of the enemy’s craftiness and cunningness in the pursuit of our God given dreams, aspirations and desires. The scriptures of 1 Peter 5:8; 1 Timothy 1:18-19; 1 Timothy 6:12 and 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 indication that we are engaged in life battles and this battle is of the enemy working tirelessly to rob us of the reality of our FAITH and TESTIMONY on the profound work of grace upon our life. Make no mistake, there are problems and challenges in life. For these Jesus assured us to be of good cheer because He has overcome the enemy and the world in its ways of doing life. This is the consciousness we need to live by in our daily life.  Jesus has triumphed on our behalf and delivered us in essence while ours is to unlock that deed by faith and live testifying of who we are on what Christ has done.

Galatians 1:3-5 “Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

Hebrews 2:14-15 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”

John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The precious blood of Jesus Christ is authentic and efficacious. We can only experience its true significance and great effect in our life and well being, when we unlock it by FAITH and live to declare its power in our life and situation through our TESTIMONY based upon God’s word as in the bible days - Revelation 12:11 Romans 10:6-10. For this is the way of the victory that overcomes the world as the scriptures said. The victory that overcomes the world satanic and his cohort’s influences is our FAITH on the integrity of the Word of God. This faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. For by FAITH the worlds are framed – fashioned, put in order, equipped for their intended purposes, prepared, carefully arranged and organised – by the creative act of  God’s word – Hebrews 11:3. By the Word of God we shape and fashion our world for His glory and for our goodness.

It is your Faith in the blood of Christ and your Testimony of declaration, proclamation and demonstration of it, is what it becomes to you – 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. An absolute act of Faith on your belief on the blood of Christ brings about triumph in your daily life. Romans 10:6-10 indicates that with our heart (spirit man) we believe and with our mouth declaration of the efficacious power of the blood based on The Word, our SALVATION –healing, deliverance, security, boldness, forgiveness, peace etc – will come. The blood will do as it has always done what the scriptures – our Covenant and Testament – says it will do. Our Faith in what Christ has done is crucial. We need to demonstrate and proclaim our Faith in our daily life for us to experience triumph daily, knowing full well that our enemies are not asleep at all – 1 Corinthians 2:1-5.

FINALLY: The Blood of the lamb . . . The POSITION for Triumph

Philemon 6 “That the communication (DECLARATION, SHARING, PROCLAMATION FELLOWSHIP) of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”

Ephesians 2:6 “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”.

Beloved, the blood of Christ is the antidote and onslaught to all the problems which affect your wellbeing – spiritual, physical, marital, emotional, financial, moral and mental health etc. Our God wants us to live a triumphant life from the place – POSITION – He has made us reign in power and dominion, that is, of what Christ has done in and for us and not from your SITUATION and CIRCUMSTANCES. Our God will make all things beautiful for your situation when you stay in the position wherein Christ has made you free – Psalm 48:1-2.

The heroes of FAITH in the Hebrews chapter eleven book of the Bible, all overcame and triumphed by their Faith Testimony on the precious blood of the lamb which was slain for their redemption as well as ours from the foundation of the world – Revelation 13:8b “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him . . . the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” They triumphed by their steadfast – unwavering - faith on the place or position in which their victory came – The blood of the Lamb.

My FAITH TESTIMONY ON THE REDEMPTIVE BLOOD OF CHRIST

Testimony 1 (Victory): “Once there was Teaching SEMINAR going on in the church that I Pastored. At the end of one of the sessions in the evening, a group of us were walking to a nearby suburb. It was a newly built area surrounded by dense woodland.

As we walked we came across 4 men in a car and they told us to stop. One of them drew a pistol and pointed it at us and asked what we had on us. On realising what was going on, I began to confess in my heart, whispering under my breathe, “The blood of Jesus, the blood of Jesus…” At this time, I felt no fear and I just told them that I was a local Pastor. Without a word – they just got into the car and drove off.

The next day we heard that in the same area, men with the same description as those that had attempted to rob us had robbed houses and pedestrians in the same area. A few people had even been killed. It dawned on us how God had delivered us”.

Testimony 2 (Defeat): “Another example of how the use of the blood of Jesus in authority can deliver us is from a time when I was a student. On my way from home to college, I made a stop over in Benin City, Nigeria to get another taxi to the campus. There were four of us in the car. Suddenly an argument ensued between the driver and the passenger behind the driver’s seat and the driver was struck. The other passenger, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, angrily asked the man why he had struck the driver. The attacker turned to this man and said, “How dare you question me. Check your privates!” There was a loud scream as the man checked his privates to discover that there was just skin in their place – he was member-less. I saw this with my own eyes. Unfortunately for me, I had not exercise the authority and power I had in Christ to overcome my situation but instead waited for God to do it for me through Christ without me placing an order. And I lost the opportunity then to manifest the fullness of God in me. As if hypnotised we were all told by this man that I now know to be sorcerer or magician, to use our right hands to circle the top of our heads in the form of a halo. We did this and then he gave each of us a brown envelope to put our money inside and gave them back to us. I got off the taxi when I arrived in school, only to find 3 pieces of envelope had replaced my college fees and spending money. It was a challenging semester but God saw me through though and I was blessed with all finances that I needed to save my day”.

Testimony 3 (Triumph): “On my way back on holiday, I made a stop over in Benin City yet again. When I got into this other taxi, there were 3 other passengers. As we were moving, the driver spat out of his window and as if by magic his spit travelled out of the vehicle and came in through the back passenger window and landed on a man’s shoulder. His reflex was to strike the driver as he was sitting behind the driver. At this point I started pleading the blood of Jesus. An argument followed and just as I had seen before, the other passenger asked why the driver had been hit. At this point I took control. I told the driver to stop and he obliged. I got off, took my luggage out and took my money out to make sure that it was all in. It was and I left.

I had taken charge of the situation using the authority of the blood of Jesus. I was no longer a victim – I was a victor. I exercised the power in the blood by pleading the blood of Jesus. This was all because I had learnt how to use the blood of Jesus to be delivered from a situation like this”.

I can give you countless FAITH TESTIMONIES of triumph and victories that I have experienced in the presence of God the Father in life and in ministry. More of these will be in the up coming Digest on the Power of the Cross at Golgotha, this Easter by the grace of God. You can actualise this act of Faith and testimony to triumph in life by adhering to these undermentioned scriptural truths as in 1 Peter 5:7-10; 1 John 5:4-5 and Philemon 6.

1. By casting all (not some) your cares and worries on God.

2. By acknowledging there is an enemy and whose intentions are to work    against         your FAITH TESTIMONY in order to get to your FINANCES, HEALTH, FAMILY, CAREER, BUSINESS, MINISTRY etc.

3. By acknowledging your victory in what Christ is done in and for all including        you.

4. By taking a bold and steadfast resistance in     Faith Testimony (declaration)      on the blood of Jesus Christ.

5. By giving thanks to God always for all things in Christ Jesus.

Dearly beloved, this is your month to daily eliminate the enemy of your Faith and Testimony in Christ Jesus. Stand tall in the POSITION wherein Christ has made you free and reign triumphantly in all that pertains to life and godliness. Have a great and wonder working month, full of great testimonies because of the blood of the lamb – Christ Jesus – Amen.

Dare To Stay In POSITION . . . By The Blood of The LAMB . . . Triumph In All SITUATIONS

In His World for His Glory

AFD FEBRUARY 2010 Edition

To some, the year – 2010 – is still young and tender, while some on the other hand are waiting for some special news or announcement to be made by an accorded Business tycoon, Political guru, Financial and Economic titan, a Religious magician, an Absolute leader – you name it – to enable them know how to pilot their life in the dawn year.

At the moment of drafting this – February 2010 Edition – another of the ‘World Economic Forum’ – DAVOS 2010’ was having major economic plans to shape the world economy in Switzerland, and in attendance are major FINANCE MINISTERS of nations. Most nations in attendance will leave that convention with an economic ideology that will formulate their national economy which invariably will have an impact on all nationwide and probably in a collective sense globally. Based on that, business entrepreneurs, career negotiators, financial institutions, political leaders, family institutions, ordinary individuals and others will begin to chart the pathway to their wellbeing in the year. Does that relate to you today! Have you thought, that you are about to step into another month without accounting for the month just ending. It’s for this cause, that the Achievers’ FAITH Digest is being made available for your enthronement –Doing Life Triumphantly.

Beloved, in my New Year ‘January 2010 edition’, I did acclaim to us that it’s a year of “A More Than Conqueror”. This means that it’s a year in which you can do life triumphantly as God’s children in every circumstance, just as Joshua experiences with God from the time He was told of God in Joshua 1:1-9. But this act of experiences is a matter of choice for the people of God. God gives His people His WORD(s) of Life, it is His people’s obligation to do life with those words as others have done and experienced in the bible days as seen again in the Apostles acts of accomplishment by the word given to them in Mark 16:16-20. Our God will not enforce His will on us but He loves His people to obediently and willingly put their Faith upon His Word in order for them to receive His goodness – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Cor. 1:9. Know full well that colourful living and doing life in Christ Jesus is a choice to be made in an individual basis. And this can only be enhanced and demonstrated by FAITH through the avenue of genuine bible love – AGAPE – the God kind of love.

Receive – Inspiration, Revelation & Empowerment

Romans 1:11 ‘’For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED’’

2 Chronicle 20:20 ‘’ . . . Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his PROPHETS, so shall ye PROSPER’’

Hosea 12:13 ‘’And by a PROPHET the LORD brought Israel OUT OF EGYPT, and by a PROPHET was he PRESERVED’’

Dearly beloved Achiever, I am constrained in my spirit by the reason of the grace given to me by the Lord in this edition to help awaken the consciousness of God that is already in you so that by it, you can triumphantly reign in life today. I mean the God kind of consciousness that was imparted into your spirit or subconscious-man in Faith by the reason of being born of God in Christ Jesus.

God’s intention through the ministry gifting of His called servant as indicated in the examples found in the Holy writ of Romans 1:11, 2 Chronicle 20:20 and Hosea 12:13; is that you might find reasons to live and enjoy the fullness of what Christ has done in you, for you and by identification with you.

I hereby proclaim that it’s high time God’s children woke up and fully arose to the God given mandate and consciousness for a daily inspiration, revelation and empowerment in order to triumphantly reign in life. This will enable us to deal with the daily affairs of life and also to become and achieve what you are born to be in Christ. Many believers put their value of INSPIRATION, REVELATION AND EMPOWERMENT in what they have in their possessions – Job, position, family, finance, material wealth etc – that if any of it is temporarily or permanently tempered with, their world would crash as if that is their LIFE, which contravenes their Faith as in the scripture – Luke 12:15 “ And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s LIFE consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”

For when you live in God’s consciousness you get inspirations, you receive revelations and empowerment to fulfil your God given duty in life as to – family, business, career, leadership and many others (name it). ‘’When you are inspired (by God’s consciousness), you will aspire and will not expire. When you live by revelation knowledge you will make wise decisions, not foolish or costly mistakes with unforgiveable, unforgettable regrets. When you are empowered by impartation of God’s grace, you will make an impact in life and live a sweat-less and stress-less lifestyle’’.

Triumphant reigning in life is the consciousness of God’s grace upon our life as a result of inspiration, revelation and empowerment we daily receive in Christ to accomplish the plans, purpose of God we seek to pursue in our life.

Triumphant Reign – Accorded To Everyone And In Every Place

2 Corinthians 2:14 ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us IN EVERY PLACE’’

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more THEY which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.)’’

2 Corinthians 2:14 and Romans 5:17 indicate that there is a place of triumph and a place to reign in life for every child of God irrespective of gender, race and generation. And this is a place all of us most come into: a place of full grace experience and God’s consciousness to enable us to actualise our God given rights and privileges in the kingdom, as in the scriptures.

To triumph is a feeling, condition and state of great happiness as a result of being victorious, having a major achievement and success in an endeavour of life. While to Reign indicates to be and hold a position of sovereignty, dominate and being in control. The life of triumph and to reign is what Christ has done for us and in us that is why we don’t just come to give our life to Christ but to have Christ in our life. We lost our place of reign and triumphant in Adam but find it in Christ. It’s not a state of the mind but life reality for all God’s children born into the kingdom to fully actualise in them if they must live above the rudiments and detects of this worldly control system.

This is not an ‘if’ condition or a place to experience or enter when we get to heaven or in the next millennium, but a call for today, even now. We are called of God to reign in life on earth by Christ Jesus – every one that has received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness – Romans 5:17. The Church in the wilderness (Old Testament) led by Moses was a kingdom based on condition ‘if’ before they could reign as royals – Exodus 19:5-7. Unlike Moses kind of Church, the Church of the New Testament led by Christ is not with an ‘if’ condition, but based on the done work of Christ Jesus our Lord. We are made into it. We are engrafted into it as a result of being born of God – 1Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:5-6; 5:9-10; 1 John 5:4-5. Yours is to claim it by faith, lay hold of it and live in the consciousness, that, it does not depend on your effort but on the done work of Christ in every place of life and for all things of life.

Diverse Kinds of Life – A Personal choice to make

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)’’

Revelation 5:9-10 ‘’And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth’’

James 3:14-15 ‘’ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from ABOVE is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy’’

The scriptures in Romans 5:17 and Revelation 5:9-10 indicate that we have been made (note that it has already happened) and empowered to reign in Life. What sort of life? Besides, is that true, real or one of those Bible statements of faith – one may ask? Whatever question it is, one thing is very sure and that is, the act of doing life is real and real to all man born under the sun. God wants us to reign in life, but what kind of life and how can one reign in life with all the credit crunch and world economy meltdown, stale and pains in virtually all family under the sun you may ask. It all depends on the kind or nature of life you are living.

There are four major ‘Greek’ translated word for ‘Life’ I want us to consider three of them, probably that will help you weigh in your spirit man – subconscious person - what kind of life you’ve been living and how to consider what is expected of you to make you reign in life in all things and over all circumstances as an achiever in Christ Jesus. I know this by reason of grace in the Lord, will help you to tend towards God and will also enable and empower you to reign in life.

• · Zoe (Grk) – The God kind of life

John 10:10 ‘’The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly’’

1 John 5:11-12 ‘’And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son; He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life’’

2 Corinthians 4:10-11 ‘’Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh‘’

The Zoe Life – God kind of life - speaks of the nature and person of God. The kind of life that God offers, embedded in us through Christ Jesus when we are born into the kingdom which will invariably affect the way we speak, what we say, how we act and how we do things, view things and conclude on things. The way we make choices and decisions in life depend on this God given kind of life if we must actual reign in life. It is the life in the realm of the Spirit – empowered Spirit of God. This is the life that you receive – eternal life – when you get born of God, it is the consciousness of what you have received and have in Christ that set a new pedestal for your lifestyle in the kingdom. This life is base on inspiration, revelation and empowerment knowledge of God.

• Psuche (Grk) – The Soulish (sense) Kind of life

Hebrews 5:14 ‘’But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil’’

Romans 12:1-2 ‘’I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God’’

Romans 8:5-9 ‘’For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his’’

The Psuche life – Soulish kind of life – is the life that is lived within the five senses of man – Feeling or Touching, Taste, Hearing, Seeing and smelling. This is a kind of life based on sense knowledge which sometimes constrains us to a laboratory and scientific test and some gimmicks approval for it to be live by. This is the life that multitudes want to live on and still expect God to bless it. Hence the scriptures indicate how much we need to have our senses sensitizes by the word of God if we may find the chance of obtaining God’s will to enhance us reigning in life as in Romans12:1-2, Hebrews 5:14 and Romans 8:5-9.

The life of the senses is the life that is completely ruled by our emotions, circumstances and detects of our environment. Here carnality operates, we walk by sight as the Holy writ says and those in this realm can’t please God and can’t reign in life by God. Those who live by sense knowledge are people who live by the direction of their mind, their intellect, their emotion – the human or natural influence. God wants us to have a sanctified, transformed and renewed mind which permits His word to enable us to reign in life.

• Bioe or Bios (Grk) – The Biological kind of life

Acts 17:22-29 ‘’Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device’’

James 3:15 ‘’But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from ABOVE is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy’’

The Bioe or Bios – Biological life – speaks of livelihood or manner of life or behaviour. There are lots of people today who by the way they live, just exist rather than having and enjoying a life at all. Their life can be equated to the life of plants, animals or other created creatures. The Bioe life is a life built on mere human existence with their sub consciousness and soul –mind, emotion etc – not being involved in making decisions in their day to day activities.

In this realm of biological kind of life, anything comes and anything goes with no value attached to it. It’s for this reason of a mere life as Bioe that makes people not to have instincts of God but seek other means of living life as in idolatry, magic, necromancy, etc since they can’t fathom God. In life, even in Church life also, people are being modelled on how to live, talk, behave, answer questions, and make decisions without individual wills involvement. How can such a person reign in life? Know today that a mere ‘manner of life or behaviour in life’ doesn’t determine a man’s destiny but eternal life – God kind of life – in a person is what determines his destiny.

This biological kind of life is where people equate their life to that of their pet. I have heard people say how they have more faith in their pet than in their spouse. As unbelievable as this may sound, it happens.

You’re Redeemed – To Reign as Royal

Revelation 5:9-10 ’’And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth’’

Revelation 1:5-6 ‘’And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen’’

1 Peter 2:9-10 ’’ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy’’

Beloved Achiever, what we lost in Adam, Christ has restored back to us in redemption. The scriptures in Revelation 5:9-10, Revelation 1:5-6 and 1 Peter 2:9-10 like many others indicate absolutely that we have been redeemed and made to reign as royals. This is not an act of revolution, it’s not refurbishment or renewal; this is the REDEMPTIVE act of God in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. A complete transformation or translation as a result of what God has done in Christ  - Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 3:13-14).

The believer is redeemed to reign as royal; born into the kingdom of king-hood and priesthood, crowned with royalty mandate. God’s intention is for us to reign on earth. Kings reign in authority and dominion – not as overlords on people – but over life challenges, circumstances, principalities and powers and over the domains of satan and his cohort that intend to resist the eternal plans and purposes of God for our wellbeing and comforts. Reigning to set the captives free and all those whose lives are oppressed and in bondage not only by demons but also in their minds – ruled and controlled against their will by their thought life.

This spirit of grace given to us to reign in life is not wishful thinking or a mere ideology but a true reality of what God has promised and has done in Christ Jesus for us to celebrate and live on in this life. If you know this and live in the consciousness of God’s grace and the gift of righteousness, you will be able to reign over all things that have limited you and rob you of becoming what God has made you to be – REIGN IN LIFE AS ROYAL!

When kings reign, all things are brought under control and under obedience to Christ. Its time to arise by faith in Christ and put an end to all the fear-alleluia, poverty-alleluia, sickness-alleluia and complain-alleluia which you may not be saying or confessing, but may be acting - knowingly or unknowingly. And this attitude can have an adverse effect, thereby affecting your life goals and pursuits. Know full well and be engross that you are redeemed to reign in life as royal, begin it today and start to live in it now – Hebrews 3:15.

You’re Empowered – To Reign in Life

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)’’

2 Peter 1:1-4 ‘’ . . . to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust’.

John 1:12 ‘’But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name’’

Ephesians 1:19-22 ‘’And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all’’

The scriptures above show that we have been empowered graciously to reign in life over all things, all flesh and circumstances that have limited us. Kingdom achievers’ are empowered by the grace of God to deal with life victoriously and triumphantly in every place – not only in some areas or places– of their life. It’s irrelevant what or how people feel or think about it, God’s word cannot be bound. It’s irrevocable and it’s authentic even as it is written in the Holy writ.

You are empowered, therefore arise, go to the mirror if you have one and speak into your being what God has made you to be and begin to reign with the God kind of life - Zoe. The scriptures say that we shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ – Rom. 5:17. It’s for you to take your place in Christ. It’s a choice; you are the one who determines the pace of your life and not God. You take your place and reign or merely talk it, assume it and not actualising it, letting the events of life take their course against you. This is what Adam did to let the devil take charge and we all have to pay the price of one man not taking His place in God.

Romans 5:1-2, 17, 21 ‘’Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord’’

2 Corinthians 5:21 ‘’For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him’’

2 Corinthians 2:14 ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place’’

In these three scriptures above, we can deduce two principal empowerments bestowed upon all who have received - born into - Christ and Christ into them to make them reign in life:

• The Abundance of grace and
• The Gift of righteousness

These ingredients are already engrafted and embedded into our life when we were born of God – received Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour. God extended His life – Zoe, eternal life, the unlimited life – to our limited life so that we can live and reign in life by Christ Jesus. We lost it in Eden, we can live on it today – It is a fully paid bill by our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. You can live guilty free and stand boldly before the lord without shame, inferiority complex or fear in your daily life schedule  - Hebrew 4:14-16

Hear this, when you make an effort to appropriate the God kind of life – Zoe - and live with that consciousness, an ability to reign in life becomes natural. This will enable you to dominate all that has hindered you in making all things become possible. You can then be able to reign in life as undermentioned:

• · Express genuine Love and Faith.
• · Operate in revelation knowledge, understanding and wisdom
• · Walk in integrity and prudence
• · Live in righteousness, Holiness and sanctification
• · Make sacrifice of Consecration and commitment
• · Practice a life style of giving and receiving
• · Live in Hope and complete assurance of God’s ability.
• · Live in Patience, endurance and temperance
• · Triumph over every trials and temptations
• · Overcome acts of sinful living and such-like
• · Overcome the habitual anger and bitterness
• · Overcome the detects of satan, demonic powers and principalities
• · Overcome unsanctified thoughts and imagination that works – in and through -our minds
• · . . . and in many other kingdom life demands

The Vitality of – Reigning Through Agape-LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now abideth Faith, Hope, Charity (LOVE), these three; but the greatest of these is charity (Love).”

As we examine the vitality and essence of reigning in life through Love, what comes to mind is the place of Faith in the expression of love. By Faith we take a stand to live in all areas of our lives, yet the Bible says that it takes love to ensure that our faith for living is efficient – effectual and effective. Being efficient – effectual - is to do things well; while being effective is to do the right things well and produce results, that is, to bring forth fruit in due season according to the working of God.

Reigning in life triumphantly by an act of love affects every aspect of our Faith life in Christ Jesus. Whether it be in your career and business development, family life, personal growth and development which may be spiritual or physical, raising godly children in a turbulent world, overcoming financial setbacks, strengthening and restoring broken relationships. Also in reaching out to the hurt, wounded and unloved, pursuing a journey to restore and obtain favour with God and many others, as befit your yearnings and aspirations. Knowing full well that in Christ Jesus as an Achiever what is vital and prominent is not just about who you are – circumcised or uncircumcised - but how you reign to become who you are – Faith working through Love.

Three Vital Elements of our LIFE: Hope, Faith and Love.

1Corinthians 13:13 “And now abideth Faith, Hope, Charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”

The above scripture helps to indicate three vital elements that give worth to life which just as they are spiritual are legal and vital to the achievers’ lifestyle of living triumphantly. They are hope, faith and love.

• HOPE – Sets life goals
• FAITH – Brings life set goals to pass.
• LOVE – Lubricates and sustains and strengthens our hope and faith to make life worth living.

These ingredients that make life worth living are so vital if we must have lively achievers’ wellbeing. However, in this edition we will be considering just two of them – faith and love. Seeing how vital they are and how they work together in making us become what we are born to be and in achieving our set goals and aspirations in life.

The Vitality of Faith

Galatians 5:6 “For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but Faith which worketh by Love.”

Hebrews11:6 “But without Faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Romans 14:23 “And he that doubteth is damned if he eats, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”

I have come to know in life and in the course of my pastoral responsibility that people everywhere who live with unfulfilled life dreams could end up in frustration and destruction watching their aspirations, hopes and faith being shattered. It’s horrible and painful to see people earnest desire dreams and destiny come to delusion.

For these the Bible has great input to say about the vitality of our FAITH if we must achieve our goals in life and become what we ought to be. Let’s consider these scriptures then:-

• Hebrews 11:6 – says that you cannot Please God without Faith. (Deut 32:20, Luke 18:8)

• Romans 14:23 – Says that anything Done without Faith is sin.

• 2Corinthians 5:7 – Says that we Walk by Faith and not by sight.

• Habakkuk 2:4 – Says that the just shall Live by Faith

• Ephesians 2:8 – Says that by Faith we are Saved by God’s grace.

• Testimonies of countless people healed by our Lord Jesus Christ were as a result of their Faith. Luke 7:9; Matthew 9:29; Matthew 5:28 etc.

FAITH is spiritual, legal and vital to our Christian walk and is important in becoming that which God intended us to be. Faith is of God. It is a product of the Spirit and comes from the Word of God - John 6:63; Romans 10:17. Meaning that FAITH can come and go when attention is not given to generate and sustain it through the Word of God. There is no single being that has walked on the face of the earth with meaningful and achievable kingdom results that has nothing to show from a life of Faith. The reason is because Faith is the Victory by which life warfare can be overcome in every level of life - 1John 5:4-5. Faith is bringing the unseen to the seen – 2 Cor. 4:13, 18

We can therefore sum up the vitality of faith by the scriptural truth of Hebrews chapter eleven.

• Vs 1- Faith gives substance(flesh) to our hopes and aspirations

• Vs 1 – Faith is evidence – legal tender, assurance and confidence.

• Vs 3 – Faith gives understanding

• Vs 4 – Faith offers an excellent and better sacrifice.

• Vs 5 – Faith translates and transfigures.

• Vs 6 – Faith pleases God.

• Vs 7 – Faith gives warning of coming danger

• Vs 8 – Faith receives an inheritance.

• Vs 9 – Faith gives or creates patience

• Vs 11 – Faith gives strength.

• Vs 12 – 40 – Faith produces and makes the heroes of faith.

Yet as vital and as this essence of Faith is, it’s not workable says the Word of God except it allows LOVE to be the main stream or river course in which it flows and operate to achieve life goals.

The Vitality of Love

1 John 5:1–5 “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that Loveth him that begat Loveth him also that is begotten of him.  By this we know that we Love the children of God, when we Love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the Love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.   For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our Faith.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”

Romans 5:5, 8 “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the Love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. . . But God commendeth his Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Rev 2:4 “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first Love.”

1 John 4:7–10 “Beloved, let us Love one another: for Love is of God; and every one that Loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that Loveth not knoweth not God; for God is Love. In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  Herein is Love, not that we Loved God, but that he Loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

Just like Faith, Love is a product of the Spirit. God is love. God is a Spirit and those who worship Him do it in Spirit and in Truth; Love is of the Spirit. Genuine Bible love is spiritual not natural. Neither is it devilish nor creation of man. God is love and anyone whose intention is to know, understand and manifest a genuine kind of love needs to connect to God’s DNA of love.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. God is love - 1 John 4:7–10. Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this edition

There are three kinds of love:

1. Phileo Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family - between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It means to be fond of; it is based on feelings and not on principle. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19;Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21. This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family wellbein
2. Eros Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it. Heb 13:4
3. Agape Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. Agape love even helps to ensure, strengthen and maintain the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on principle – be it towards things or people.

Note: The Phileo or Eros kinds of Love need to be controlled by Agape kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to sin. E.g. Eros – 1 Cor. 7:5; Phileo – 1 Samuel 2:22-36.

Love is a fruit and not a gift. Fruits are grown while gifts are imparted. Genuine Bible love – Agape - is born and is a product of the Spirit. Considering our subject of discussion, let us come to the light in examining some characteristics of Agape kind of love as vital to enhance the working of Faith.

• John 3:16 - Love gives power of initiative, is a giver, sacrificial.

Your regard, respect and value for Love determines how you reign in it and the virtues that get back to your life. When one walks in love one is then prepared to live through life as God’s instrument of grace on the pathway to achieve and become.

Love is the hallmark of the New Testament Christian Faith for any great achiever or one intending to become such in God. Hence its vitality was strongly Commanded – not an advice – by our Lord Jesus Christ as in

John 13:34–35 “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

And upon this unity of purpose born from the spirit of love that God’s commanded blessings are made manifest in believers life and ministry as expressed in -

Psalm 133 “. . . Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”

Christ Jesus – Reigned as the son of Man on Earth

Acts 2:22 ‘’Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know’’

John 13:1-3 “Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.”

Hebrew 5:7-10 ’’Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek’’

Dearly Beloved Achiever, Year 2010 is here already. God wants you to triumph and reign in life through love. The days of mere wishful way of existence to deal with the affairs of life is over for all those who are born of God and want to let the word of God have a root in them. We live in challenging times and every child of God must as a matter of reality live by what they are made to be in order to authenticate their faith in God – made to be kings and priests.

You need to take your stand in Christ in that which affects and opposes your faith to enable you to triumphantly reign in life through love in matters of - business entrepreneurship, marital relationship, career instability, general life relationship, health, finance, you just name it – This becomes the key over all that have limited you and questioned the integrity of your Faith in God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the days of his life in the flesh – humanity “as son of man” – reigned in life through Love by the abundance of all things as supplied of the Father God towards him even as we have received of Him. He reigned and dominated principalities and powers, overcame temptations and trials, uprooted bitterness, envy and every works of the flesh as depicted in Galatians 5:19-21 etc. His love knows no bounds hence He reigned in life on earth in His humanity in the midst of all odds. He had a choice to either give in or be in charge and in control, and He chose to reign that He might give us an assurance of hope and to let us know that it’s all possible again to reign in life on earth until He comes to have us home – 1 John 4:17. For as a son of man in humanity, He reigns triumphantly in life through love in this wise undermentioned:

• * Over all flesh – John 17:1-2
• *Over Temptations and trials – Matthew 4:1- 11; Luke 4:1-13
• *Over all things – Philippians 2:21-22; John 14:30
• *Over principalities and powers – Ephesians 1:20-22; John 14:30
• * Over the detects of hell and death – Rev. 1:18-19; Heb. 2:14-15
• *With all authority and powers – Matt. 28:18
• * Over all the works of the flesh – Galatians 5:19-21; John 14:30
• * . . . And many over’s as in the Holy writ.

Let’s arise, put an end to living in our own strength and skills and on life that is based on our intellect. Let’s begin to live life to the full, taking charge and reigning in life as a triumphant, victorious and more than a conqueror people of God and not as cowards (not spoken but acted). Human life is limited, is more than a mere accumulation of wealth or being physically strong. You can’t measure God’s endowment with physical prosperity. Let’s begin to exercise ourselves unto the Zoe kind of life and Agape kind of Love we shall live well on this side of heaven and here after.

Luke 12:15 ‘’And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth’’

1 Timothy 4:7-8 ‘’But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 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’’

GRAND FINALE: Agape-Love & Faith In Triumph

Galatians 5:6 “For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but Faith which worketh by Love.”

Ephesians 3:17, 19 “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, . . .   And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Ephesians 4:1 – 3 “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, FAITH, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law”

Faith and Love are an expression of obedience to God. Obeying God is as a result of the revelation knowledge of God and His Word. It is not dogmatic or an act of religious know-how, tradition and conscience of any source. Faith and Love are both fruit of the Spirit.

Verse 17 and 19 of Ephesians 3 shows that our faith should be rooted and grounded (established) in the love of Christ. Matt 5:23–26 (for illustration)

Ephesians 4:1–3 indicates that if we must love, we need to make an effort. Make everything possible to love to enable our faith in God to be effective and effectual – efficient. To love is to be gentle and humble – complete humility and patience in bearing with each other as a way to love.

Galatians 5:6 indicates that in Christ Jesus nothing has value except Faith expressing itself in Love. Faith works by love when we take God’s Word as it is without argument. This we can see in the following biblical expressions and hallmark of Love:

Faith is the hand – legal tender – that takes the things we need from God and delivers them into our hand. Everything that Jesus purchased (Redeemed) for us on Calvary can be obtained by FAITH (Eph.1:3; 2 Pet. 1:3-5; Col. 1:13-14; John 10:0; 3John 2 etc.). Faith is acting corresponding to the Word of God – Belief in Action

One of the reasons why FAITH is not working for some of the Believing Achievers as they lay claim to be people of Faith is simply because they do not have understanding of what the Word of God says – Faith that works by Love. This is what will measure up to all of the principles and stands set down in the Word of God. When we are Love-conscious and not Sin-conscious, our Faith will bring us to our place of triumph to reign in life.

Rev 2:1 – 7 “. . .Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love”.

Mark 11:20-24 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them”.

Beloved you are destined not only to have good success and triumphantly reign but to become in life as an ACHIEVER through love. We can deduce from the foregone illustrations that in our exercising of Faith through our natural instinct or as a fruit or spiritual gift – we need the element of love to authenticate its viability to make life worth living. This will bring forth the desire you long for and anticipated for your spouse, children, parents, family members, in-laws, relationship, your neighbour, career, business, friendship, church etc.

I therefore urge you to create a desire that enables love to enhance your faith. This becomes the pathway to all the open doors that you desire. Love is the mother of unity and unity receives and enhances blessings from the Lord – Psalm 133; Matthew 5:23-25. I therefore present you the biblical FOOD FOR THOUGHT as to:

1. Where is your faith LIFE? Luke 18:8; Deut 32:20; 2 Thess 3:12
2. Where is your love LIFE? Rev 2:4, Galatians 6:5

Faith and Love produce an effectual and effective achievers’ life. There is a promise of grace for all who operate under God or in God’s name through the urgency of LOVE in their Faith endeavours.

I pray that God will give you understanding and revelation knowledge. And I therefore make bold to say that the excellent way to be effective and effectual in life, ministry, family, relationship, career etc is by our FAITH working through the pin-hole of LOVE

I sincerely pray for you that in this month wherein most people are considering and marking Valentine’s day in various ways, God will awaken your spirit by this FEBRUARY EDITION so that you can begin to reign in life in full by God’s kind of love -Agape. Your prosperity is very certain and is today, this day; this month can be the beginning of the beginning. Desiring for you, God’s grace and abundant blessings in all you do through the month, amen.

Dare To Triumphantly Reign in Life . . . Demonstrate AGAPE Love

In His World for His Glory
