AUGUST2018 Themed – You Are A Chosen Generation of The 42nd GENERATION: It’s Your Time To August Your Life – It’s Your New Dawn Day And Dawn Month!
AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new beginning. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long.
The name AUGUST means inspiring REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the theme, to august therefore means to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more such like . . .
GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth, as summed in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to have pleasure in His creation as in REVELATION 4:11.
When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now.
This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s new day was dawn, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in PRINCIPLE from the REST of God; and to exercise his eminent authority to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and reign and live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the holy writ scriptures – Genesis 1:26-28.
The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance his PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to the scriptures – (Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20).
Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much deserved and cherished – and how well you prepared and dressed up for it; Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable; Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value; Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured that it’s the most talked about honourable marriage that’s at the top of the note before all invited friends and families. Think of the situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. This is what it means to AUGUST an occasion and precisely, to AUGUST this month of AUGUST in LIFE and GODLINESS.
This is what makes Apostle Paul say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, I AUGUST my office of CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS – Romans 11:12-14.
I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, fashion of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.
You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!
“The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . .16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 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” Matthew 1:1-17.
“. . . 9 But ye are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an HOLY NATION, a PECULIAR PEOPLE; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you OUT OF DARKNESS into HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT: 10 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” 1 Peter 2:5-10.
