John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 10:30, 34-35 “I and my Father are one . . . Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If He called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken“

Psalms 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the most High “

Genesis 26:12-14 “. . . And the man Became great, and went forward, and grew until he Became very great . . .“

The Act of Believing is made available to all mankind. It is an integral default in men. Man’s existence today has a lot to do with whom and what He believes in. Whom and What you believe in determines how your destiny is being shaped and moulded. It’s for this cause people of all races, nations, genders and generations are in one conflict or the other, either on personal levels or general levels. God wants us to exercise Faith in whatsoever we Believe Him for. Believing God is a characteristic of Faithfulness, but exercising Faith on what you believe Him for, it is your human spirit responding on your belief on the word of God. That is, your human spirit acting on the word of God.

FAITH: Is acting on the Belief

BELIEVE: Is the characteristics of Faithfulness

Faith must be acted. God’s blessings upon your life depend on your Faith. Fear is a demon spirit and is the opposite of faith and the devil’s instrument to paralyse your Faith in God.

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

By Faith, you become whom and what you Believe. Abraham believed God and it was counted or reckoned unto him for righteousness, he became what he believed of himself in God. Faith is the seeing eye of the act of Believing - Galatians 3:6-9 (Romans 4:17-25). The two blind men believed the Word of Christ, they become (had) what they believed in Faith for - Matthew 9:29 (27-31). The act to believe and exercise faith is spiritual – Take time to Think or Ponder or Meditate on these things (Philippians 4:8).

Personal FAITH On The ANOINTED

- Achievers Secret to Divine Breakthroughs -

John 6:28-29 ‘’Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’’

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’’

Acts 10:38 ‘’How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.’’

Isaiah 53:1-2 ‘‘Who hath BELIEVED our REPORT? and to whom is the ARM of the LORD revealed?’’ (John 12:37-50; Romans 10:14-21)

Shalom! I bring you awesome, graceful and amazing Kingdom greetings in the majestic and precious name of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!! I do believe and trust God that by this remarkable month Achievers’ FAITH Digest edition, you will locate and position yourself in God’s grace, which will enable you to bring all things under your feet and control, to the end you will BECOME what you are born of God to BE. Amen.

MARCH EDITION

The month of - March – is the 3^rd month of the lunar calendar year. The significance of the number 3 is greater than meet the eye as indicated in the following perspective:

· The persons of the Godhead - Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

· The persons of Man – Tripartite being: Spirit, Soul and Body

· Three Temptation Acts – Pride of life, Lust of the eyes and Lust of the Flesh

· Christ Redemption Acts in Summary – Poverty, Sickness and Spiritual Death

Much more to all these mentioned, in United Kingdom where I live, it’s the month that ends the financial year, meaning a time of stocktaking’s, book balancing, auditing probably and the formulation period of the next financial year that may invariably affect those that live in this part of the world. With these in mind, am inspired with many challenges in my spirit and with a heart of thanksgiving to God in bringing you this remarkable edition topic – Personal FAITH on the ANOINTED. I pray by it you will find grace in God to your right of overflow and breakthroughs as an achiever in God.

Jehovah God- The Uncommon Achiever

Genesis 1:1-31 ‘‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness . . .’’

John 10:30-38 ‘’I and my Father are one . . . Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken . . . But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.’’

Psalm 82:6 ‘’I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.’’ Genesis 3:5

The first impression I had of God, was that He is an ACHIEVER. The 1^st verse of the 1^st Chapter of the 1^st book of the Bible is evidence of this – GOD THE CREATOR! The earth was totally impoverished with darkness, without form and void. But God being an achiever changed this state. He created an atmosphere which He would want to see and enjoy. He did the uncommon – hence I call Him the uncommon achiever.

We are His children, sons and daughters of the Most High God – The Uncommon Achiever.

In His stead He wants us to achieve desired goals and become in life what we are born to be. Creating the atmosphere we want to enjoy and be pleased with. This is what Jesus did while on earth, it is why He died, was buried and resurrected – so that we too might be uncommon achievers.

The state of the economy today contradicts many dreams and aspirations in life. It’s in the midst of this that God guarantees your opportunity to make a difference with kingdom lifestyle pattern and not in the way that the world wisdom works. Knowing this limitation of human ways or wisdom, this edition is to bring about the scriptural truth to obtain triumph and victory in our daily life – Personal FAITH on the ANOINTED

The Anointed One – Jesus first, then, the CALLED Ministers of God

Acts 10:38 ‘’How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.’’

1 John 4:2 ‘’Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.’’

Luke 4:18-20 ‘’The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.’’

Matt. 1:1, 16-17 ‘’The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . . And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.’’

The Holy writ of Matthew 1:1, John 1:14, 1 Timothy 3:16 and 1 John 4:2 speak of Jesus Christ made manifest in the flesh and Him being the saviour of the world and Lord of our life. At His name as in - Philippians 2:9-11 – all power submits and answers to His majestic person. However, Acts 10:38 and Luke 4:18-20, indicate how Jesus needed to be anointed to do the purposeful works of God on earth.

Christ (Greek) means – Christos – the Messiah, which means – the anointed one – the sent one. Know this, the messiah, the anointed one, the sent one – Christ - though He was and is the son of God in essence, yet in His humanity needed to be anointed as – sent one – by the Father, to do the purposeful work of God on earth. Jesus as Christ, the son of man, of Nazareth in Bethlehem Judah was the anointed sent one of God the Father.

John 6:26-29 ‘’Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’’

John 1:6-8 ‘’There was a MAN SENT from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was SENT to bear witness of that Light.’’

The Scriptures of John 6:26-29 and John 1:6-8 speak of the status of the anointed one – the one God has chosen, sent to bear witness on the behalf of God. They are God’s witness bearers, specially anointed for a cause with a defined assignment in the life of men. In the book of Isaiah 44:24-26, they are called God’s messengers – special ambassadors of God (2Corinthian 5:20). They are the sought out, sent one among many.

1 Corinthian 1:26-29 ‘’For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.’’

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’’

1Corinthian 12:28-31 ‘’And God hath SET some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way.’’

The above scriptures in context, indicate also the anointed one is – the called out, set apart one - with specific and special assignment in the body ministry which could be local or international. They are God’s special gift to and for the Churches of Christ. They are not merely made by self intent which I call – GOERS – but are SET apart, SENT messengers with defined instruction from God. Every called messenger of God is a carrier of a peculiar divine assignment and message which is either to a people or generation. God will always affirm and confirm their Message (words) and counsels (Isaiah 44:24-226). The anointed one as in - Isaiah 53:1and Mark 3:13-15 – is a divine reporter and journalist; a called and appointed servant of God and the sent one with God’s assigned intent to mankind.

In the likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ in His humanity (Acts 2:22, Heb. 5:7-9) all called servants of God are regarded as the anointed one. They bear the specific or defined mark of God’s grace and anointing; they are commissioned with specific and special assignment either to a people or a generation. They are also a mark of true witness bearer of the manifold graces of God.

1 John 2:20, 27 ‘’But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.’’

2 Tim. 1:8-11 ‘’Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.’’

Note carefully, that in – 1 John 2:20, 27 – every believer has the anointing of God imbedded in their spirit being for individuals to authenticate the grace of God for their life. That notwithstanding, does not necessarily mean they are in the class or have now fallen among called out one – Anointed One. They may have anointing, but basically are bestowed to the believer in Christ to enable them assist the anointed one in accomplishing their God given assignment to either a people or generation. This is the reason Apostle Paul writing to Timothy in – 1 Tim. 5:22 – said he should not lay hands on people suddenly or quickly into an anointed ones office or calling. Been able to speak in other tongues or experience some spiritual opportunities doesn’t define been called of God into an anointed ones Office – 2 Tim. 1:8-11; Acts 13:1-3. This is why they are many casualties and confusion in the body of Christ today – this ought not to be so. You need to be called, appointed, set apart of God to function as a true witness or an envoy on behalf of God. Man’s place is only to affirm the grace God has given you in a particular assignment – Gal. 2:1-10. However, the foundation of God stands sure, and God knows His own - (2 Tim. 2:19).

Personal Faith – A Believing and Receiving Spirit

John 6:28-29 ‘’Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’’

Isaiah 53:1 ‘’ Who hath BELIEVED our REPORT? and to whom is the ARM of the LORD revealed?’’ (John 12:37-50; Romans 10:14-21)

John 1:12 ‘’But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he power (RIGHT) to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name’’

Faith is the act of trust, to believe and receive into your life the graces of God. In life, you can only appreciate what you actually or truly treasure. People can only put their Faith on people whom they truly treasure. Hence, the book of John 1:12 tells us that – to as many who believe to receive Christ – the anointed one- they are the ones who have access to God’s enabling Power – rights and privileges – to BECOME God’s sons – a position to exercise divine authority. Many people want to – BE, but don’t want to receive the anointed one even as Christ commended in – John 6:28-29. The principle of the kingdom is very simple and straight forward for all who desire God’s will in their personal life, but some prefer to make life difficult for themselves by choosing the way of struggle, pains and complaints with their own wisdom.

In the Holy writ of John 6:28-29, they that desire to do the works of God and become in life came asking Jesus to inform them how they can work the works of God. Jesus simply answered them to BELIEVE and RECEIVE – have Faith – on the one whom God have SENT – called, anointed. And in Isaiah 53:1, the scripture portray the need of being sent, and in believing and receiving as a major avenue of seeing the ARM of God for our victory, breakthroughs to be REVEAL.

Faith – Believing and Receiving – is the only heavenly outpour legal tender to receive from God and for God to release His graciousness and blessings to enable us to have power to create the atmosphere we desired to enjoy – (Heb. 11:6; Habakkuk 2:4; Rom. 1:17). This is the kingdom principle in spite of the abuse in the kingdom by some supposed – anointed ones – not teaching and living the truth.

Relating To – The Grace on the Anointed

1 Corinthians 1:26-28 ‘’For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.’’

James 5:13-15 ‘’Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.‘’

John 6:26-29 ‘’Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’’

Acts 10:38 ‘’How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.’’

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

Every called servant of God – the anointed one – is a carrier of the grace of God as a sent one. Every messenger of God is sent with a defined and assigned message in the commission. And if you can locate that grace upon them by locating yourself in their leadership in mentorship and Pastoral – Shepherd hood – you will never be weary or burnt out in life, when you have a right attitude to seek for the grace of God they are carrying in their life – peculiar anointing – Matt. 10:40-44. God’s anointed one may not be as pious, eloquent, vibrant, enriched, opportune and educated as may be expected in human criteria, what is vital and important is that such a person is a carrier of God’s grace as seen in - 1 Corinthian 1:26-29. The grace an anointed one is carrying is vital when it is of God and knowingly or unknowingly you will need it to sustain and preserve life. I say by reason of knowledge, locate it today, MADLY!

To relate to this grace by an act of locating and positioning your life requires lots of caution on the individual achievers part, knowing full well that grace can make and unmake one by our attitude towards the person whom we’ve yielded our faith to. Spiritual laws are much more real than the natural rules of life, hence you need to be certain whom and how you submit your spirit to such. When you do relate to the anointed as a commoner, you get a commoner feedback from God’s grace upon such, but if with earnest spirit of gracefulness, you will receive the same like blessings of God just as typified in – Matt. 10:40-44. It is spiritually very dangerous to relate so casually to such a person who is carrying an assignment and grace – anointing – of God. It’s for this reason the apostles, even Jesus’ earthly brothers inclusive, in all their epistles were very careful not to relate to Christ – the anointed one – in the fleshly look of knowing him day to day as Apostle Paul indicates for all of them as in:

2 Corinthians 5:14-16 ‘’For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 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.’’

Therefore, relate to grace if you must receive unction to your situation through the ministry of such an individual. Relating so casually may result in God’s anger without notice – 1 Sam. 12:1-9; 2 Chron. 36:14-18. For this cause also, Apostle Paul was constrained to warn and remind the Corinthian Church how to relate to Him as in:

1 Corinthians 4:14-16 ‘‘I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.‘’

Benefits – Relating with right Attitude

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

John 6:28-29 ‘’Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’’

A right attitude will always reproduce a right altitude in any life situation. Herein are some benefits as a result of exercising a right and healthy relationship with which you submit your faith to – ANOINTED ONE:

· They are chosen, anointed and sent one of God for you – John 6:28-29; Mk. 3:13-19; Acts 13:1-3.

· God delivers and preserves life through them – Hosea 12:13 (Exod. 33:11, 13-17); James 5:14-15.

· They are carriers of God’s secrets for your benefits – Amos 3:7; Deut. 29:29; Psalm 25:14.

· God honours and always affirms and confirms the words of His servant – Isaiah 44:24-26; Eph. 4:7-16; Acts 27:25 (14-44); Mk. 16:16-20; John 3:34.

· They are anointed to impart graces for your good and situations – Rom. 1:11; 2 Cor. 6:10; Deut. 34:9

· They are God’s special gift to you; treasure and value them – Eph. 4:7-11; 1 Cor. 12:28- 31.

· They are chosen as shepherd to feed you with knowledge and understanding, and not story tellers – 1 Cor. 2:1-5; Jere. 3:15; 23:4; Ezek. 34:23

· They are your mentor and spiritual father – 1 Corinthians 4:14-16; Psalm 78:70-72.

· They are Shepherd to tend and visit you – Prov. 27:23-27; Psalm 78:70-72; Acts 15:36; James 1:27.

· They are there to set your spirit with fervency by the Word of God – Prov. 26:20; 2 Tim. 2:15; 3:4-17; John 3:34

· They are Shepherd to feed you and look after you’re well being spiritually – Acts 20:28; John 21:15-17.

· They are to mature you in faith and unto all good works – Eph. 4:11-16.

· They are supposedly chosen to be leaders by example – Isaiah 55:4; 1 Tim. 4:12.

· They are there to have an oversight, to direct and guide you – 1 Peter 5:1-4

· . . . and many more

Ministering to – The Anointed One - Your Pastor

John 6:22-29 ’’Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’’

1 Tim. 3:15 ‘’But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.’’

Hosea 12:13 ’’And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.’’

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

I make bold to say that it’s the Faith of the Anointed One that establishes and prospers the people and the Church and not vice versa – Eph. 4:11-16; Acts6:1-6; 16:1-5. This is why the accusation of church members for church or ministry problems is falsehood, foolishness and ignorance of the grace available to any of such anointed servant of God who goes about complaining. For a Church is a local or universal body of born again believers in Christ Jesus, having a Head - Shepherd. When the - anointed one - recognises and stands faithfully in his called office, his faith by the faith of the members in and on him will reproduce abundance of increase spiritually, physically, financially and materially in the Church and upon the members. Hence I can say by reason of grace that God wants His people to BECOME in life in spite of life circumstances and situations, especially in this present economic challenge of our Faith in God – Genesis 26:1-14; John 1:12.

Locating and positioning yourself to a local Church is a paramount kingdom pattern for an effective and effectual ministering to your Pastor – the anointed one. This will establish a divine covenant that will unleash God’s eternal purposes in your life. It will end famine of God’s word in your life, such that what you need in enhancing your faith to receive from God will be available – Hosea 8:11-13. In the Bible days, peoples faith on the anointed one caused them to received graces in their trial times from God as exampled in – 2 Kings 4:1-44. For in our dispensation it will end all struggles and spiritual malady and physical health failures, financial limitations, emotional breakdowns, career setbacks and many other life challenging situations when we do same - kingdom way.

With all sincerity of heart I present a layout guide in ministering to your PASTOR –

· Receive and celebrate your Pastor as God’s gift to you. Gift are treasured by how much value you place on it and who is the giver and the spirit that comes with the giving. Know for sure that your Pastor is a ministry gift of God unto you – Eph. 4;8, 11-12; John 1;12; Joshua 6:28-29; 1 Cor. 1:26-28.

· Believe in your Pastor and his calling. It’s not worth staying under any ministry gift you don’t respect or have regards for and you treat with a bias, doubtful and mistrust attitude – Isaiah 53:1; 2 Chronicle 20:20’ John 6:28-29; Hosea 12:13.

· Do not sell, gossip or touch your Pastor. If He is wrong pray for him, commit him to God who judges justly and that has called him. If you are in a position of speaking with him, follow the spirit of Aquila and Priscilla as in – Acts 18: 24-28. God will take care of him and save our soul - Luke 17:1-2; 22:1-16; Psalm 10:15; 1 Sam. 24:9-15; 26:5-12.

· Protect and defend your Pastor. It’s only in Church life I have found that soldiers – the army of the Lord – are buried alive while they are still breathing. Don’t bury your Pastor before unbelievers within Church and outside Church - Mk. 14:43-49; Josh 18:11; Acts 9:25.

· Lift up the hands of your Pastor as Aaron and Hur. Don’t bring him down either by one or crowd and by words or deed. Exodus 17:8-16; John 13:18-30.

· Endeavour – make an effort – to know your Pastor, his wife/her husband and the family; merely as a standard, but as a leading example. For the more you know them, as knowing a person, the better you understand them, work and walk with them, bear and tolerate them and pray for them. For they are humans like you though they have a special call of grace upon their life. 1 Thess 5:12; 2 Corinthians 5:14-16.

· Esteem your Pastor very highly in love not in eye services. This does not mean to worship him or exalt him as Christ but to honour, respect and dignify him as a leader – for the kingdom work sake – PASTORING. 1 Thess. 5:13; 1 Tim. 5:17-19; John10:37-38.

· Pray for him regularly and consistently, so that the WORD of God might have a free course – unhindered and be glorified. 2 Thess. 3:1-2; 1 Corinthians 16:9; Mk 16:16-20; Acts 19:20; Eph. 6:18-20.

· Communicate to your Pastor physical with worldly goods, not of necessity but as support to enable him have less distract of physical needs and to devote much on the grace given to establish and prosper the Church and the members and the work of the ministry. Spare your time, your food, your money, your physique for Church work and where required domestic chores especially for the wife and children. When He breaks down in health or physique due to no assistance, he will do less work of gracefulness to enhance your blessings. Let him know if you are being blessed by His ministry; spare time to attend when He puts up programmes etc. Gal. 6:6; Hebrews 7:5; Gal. 3:7; Hebrews 6:10-12; Matt. 10:40-42.

· Follow your Pastor to be discipled and mentored – understand his vision, plan and dimension and purposes and pursuit in ministry. Follow to know his values, believes and assignment in the local and body ministry. Hebrews 6:12 (amplified); Jere. 6:16; Phil. 4:9; 1 Cor. 4:16.

· Give time to attend, listen and obey his teachings. Be convincing of him as your Pastor, hearing from God. Be a doer of the word and not a disgrace or hindrance to his work in the ministry. Let not his effort in you be in vain. 1 Cor. 9:12; 11:1-2; Acts 20:20-32; 6:1-7; James 1:22-25; Gal. 2:21.

· . . . And as may be led of the Holy Spirit

Finally – Thanks!

John 6:28-29 ‘’Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’’

Matt. 16:17-19 ’ ‘And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.’’

Eph. 4:7-16 ’ ‘. . . And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.’’

A crucial month to ENHANCE your FAITH to BECOME what you BELIEVE:

(Matthew 9:27-31; Genesis 26:1-25)

This month is a very crucial month for all who by reasons of grace have been sharing in the Ministry of the AFD. It’s crucial because it is the seventh month of the year and seven signifies maturity, completeness, wholeness, fulfilment etc. God is indicating strongly in my spirit, His intention to make His people ‘BE’. Make them BECOME what they BELIEVE to ACHIEVE, according to His plans and purposes for their lives.

If we are to ‘BE’, we need to ‘COME’ into His grace in order to ‘BECOME’. My mandate through the AFD is to ensure that you become what you believe; this is God’s great cry for you. Jesus came, died and rose again for your daily triumph and victories (2 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 15:57, Romans 8:37).

You may say, ‘Yea, I have become’, but are you complete and in the fullness of it. How many lives is your ‘becoming’ influencing positively towards God and not self. In this time of famine of the truth of God’s Word, God has also promise the knowledge of His Word to His people (2 Timothy 4:1-4, Amos 8:11-14; Daniel 12:4, Habakkuk 2:14). We need words of grace spoken into our lives so that we can become what we believe. It may be a fact that we are at present in an economic and financial crunch leading to political unrest, family breakdown, career mishaps and business setbacks etc, but by God’s spoken Word, it is possible to BECOME, only believe.

Genesis 26:1-25 ‘’ And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.  And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.  And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:  And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.  And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.

And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.  And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.  And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.  And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake. And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well’’.

and

Matthew 9:27-31 ’’And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.  And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country’’.

In Genesis 26:1-11, there was famine in the land. One option was to escape and search for greener pastures – as sense knowledge would have led people do in difficult times. The other was to stay against all odds in obedience to God’s Word with the eye of faith and subdue it to become what you are made to BE.

Isaac was almost led astray, but thanks to God’s spoken Word and a reminder of his covenant rights as Abraham seed which we too are through what Christ did for us. (Genesis 26:1-5, Galatians 3:26-29).The famine was so bad that he was about to leave and go down the way of the Egyptians (unbelievers). At some point he presented his wife, Rebecca, as his sister to the Philistines in order to protect himself – according to him – from harm.

God spoke to Isaac reminding him of his covenant rights and privileges. Today we have the Bible, the written word of God –referred to as LOGOS. We also have the revealed or spoken Word of God – referred to as RHEMA. To become great is an attitude of obedience. Isaac obeyed the voice of the Lord, took the instructions in spite of the FACTS of life surrounding him – economic and social breakdown. He made a deliberate choice to obey the TRUTH that came from the Word of God not the fact of what he was experiencing.

In Genesis 26:12-14, we see that Isaac’s obedience helped him to reap a hundred fold and God blessed him: that is, he BECAME great and went FORWARD until he BECAME very great. He enhanced his faith by obeying God’s Word. He chose obedience over sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22-23). Listen, as important as sacrifices of worship, of finances, prayer and fasting are, we cannot use them to get God’s attention. They are only valuable when we walk in obedience to God’s Word. Especially when you know what it is that God has instructed you to do in a particular situation. In that Isaac acted on God’s Word, even in the midst of his prosperity being challenged by the enemy, he found grace in God who had been involved from the start (Genesis 26:15-25).

As an achiever in the Lord, your faith attitude will go a long way to determine your altitude. In Matthew 9:27-31 Jesus spoke to two blind men who need to ‘BE’ in their sight saying vs. 29 “…be it unto you according to your faith.” In other words BECOME what you BELIEVE.

The big issue at the moment is for you to ENHANCE YOUR FAITH to enable you to BE what you want to become, be it health, financial freedom or prosperity, marital fulfilment, entrepreneurship, career stability etc. You have the right to succeed in all areas of life. Jesus paid for the salvation of your total being (1 Thessalonians 5:23, Hebrews 4:12). You can stop focusing on the facts working against you, stop complaining and living in wishful thinking – and rise up in FAITH to become the person that God has purposed you to BE (Romans 8:28-30). This is the choice that we have to make, but my mandate is to see you BECOME by BELIEVING the truth of the Word of God.

Guidelines To Enhance Your Faith

• Give your ears to the hearing of God’s Word.(Romans 10:6-10,17
• Pray in the Holy Spirit. (Jude 20) and obey the leadership of the Holy Spirit ( Romans 8:14-16)
• Trust on God’s word and His sayings not the facts of life.(John 8:32; Proverbs 4:20-22; Joshua 1:8)
• Work in love, not bitterness or regret. (Galatians 5:6). Do life business in love. Achieve goals in love.

Finally, God has a reason, plan and purpose for your life. You can become if you change what you believe from mere fact to the truth of the Word of God. I prophesy that the grace to BECOME may be with you and that God help you just like He did Isaac in this crucial month and for the rest of your life.

Be completely fulfilled and BECOME in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
