WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER 2024: THE MONTH ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” – IN DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
You are specifically and specially WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER, it’s your Month of conquering and ensuring you are “more than conquerors” through love as it’s entitled: LOVE: THE CONQUEST! For conquering by LOVE: THE CONQUEST, makes doing life and living godly to become possible when you have come to . . . know the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus . . . as it’s written:
“. . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts [human spirit] by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which passess [supercedes, transcends] knowledge [human sense], that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21/Emphasis Mine.
It’s time to take on the challenges of life from all angles using the “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” medicine to make it possible. For its only by conquering through “LOVE: The CONQUEST”, you can actualised a “more than conquerors” in redemption in all life battles as written:
“. . . 35 Who shall separate us from THE LOVE OF CHRIST? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from THE LOVE OF GOD, which is IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD” Romans 8:32-39
However, before exploring the Month theme – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”, as you follow along through the months writs and post that you will be seeing and reading, let’s consider the terms of Month November in essence.
The month of NOVEMBER as any other DAWN months in the Julian and Gregorian calendar year, is crucial and important in the cause of the numbering of our days under the Sun, in order to fulfil PURPOSE by God, in Christ Jesus stead – [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11]. And it thus re-echoes and reminds me as in other DAWN months, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in the settings being laid down below; and also, with the knowing that it’s God who makes things to be, in each passing days, weeks and months, and He is the one who crowns the year with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY by God in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:
“This is THE DAY [WEEK, MONTH, YEAR] which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/Emphasis Mine.
“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths DROP FATNESS (ABUNDANCE). 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/Emphasis Mine.
Therefore, my acronyms to month November, can be summed in these context:
FIRSTLY, that the month NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. And it is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while in the southern half, it is the last month of spring in count.
SECONDLY, that the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing month of the year to usher in another DAWN year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of principle in diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year by the eleventh hour month; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong, stronger and strongly in the current dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousness, gracefulness and blessedness toward me in family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
And THIRDLY, the Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN month of the year, it engages my thoughts toward engaging with benefits of the TEAM spirit, when you consider the ELEVEN PERSONS in the making of a FOOTBALL TEAM. Thus, indicating the needs to work together in with others, in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common results as a team. This is important, irrespective of the quality of the personality of the individual player’s terms that is involved. The aim is to see the need to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual lone person with innumerable opportunity of engaging with others.
Therefore, get set to conquering all matters of life challenges to ensure and be assured through month November theme entitled – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”.
Blessed regards!

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] TO KNOW [practically, through personal experience] THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH FAR SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19/Amplified.
“For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through LOVE . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE serve and seek the best for one another” Galatians 5:6, 13/Amplified.

“Some, it is true, are [actually] preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry [toward me—for no better reason than a competitive spirit or misguided ambition], but others out of goodwill and a loyal spirit [toward me]. 16 The latter [preach Christ] out of LOVE, because they know that I have been put here [by God on purpose] for the defense of the gospel; 17 but the former preach Christ [insincerely] out of selfish ambition [just self-promotion], thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. 18 What then [does it matter]? So long as in every way, whether in pretense [for self-promotion] or in all honesty [to spread the truth], Christ is being preached; and in this I rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.
