Scriptural Reading

Matthew 1:1, 6-17 “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”.

1 Peter 2:5, 9 “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 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”.

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”.

Ephesians 2:1-7“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; ²wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: ³among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. ⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) ⁶and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: ⁷that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus“.

2 Corinthians 4:13-15 “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; ¹⁴knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. ¹⁵For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God“

1 Corinthians 6:14 “And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power”.

Greetings

Hallelujah! Hosanna!! Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. I pray and desire that at the conclusion of this revelatory message – The 42nd GENERATION – “The Offspring of Christ Jesus” all things will be under your feet, you will be inspired and empowered to reign in life. That is, you would have positioned yourself in line with the spirit of the 42nd generation, and to enlist your life into this amazing, awesome and majestic offspring of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. Be it known also that 42nd GENERATION can also be likened REDEMPTION GENERATION, Jesus Christ our REDEMPTION – 1 Corinthian 1:30

Preamble – GENERATION Defined

A GENERATION is defined in this wise:

All of the people born and living at about the same time – age – regarded collectively.
The average time or period in which children grow up and have children of their own – an average time between two generations of a species – usually reckoned about 35 years for humans.
A set of members of a family regarded as a single stage in decent – belonging to a specified generation or stage of development.
The propagation of living organisms, procreation – reproduction
The action of producing or generating – electricity.

In line with the dictionary definition of what a generation is all about, in same like the definition in Greek – ‘genea’, ‘ghenehah’ – implies age, nation, time, and offspring, stock. Simply put when the generation number ’42’ (forty-two) are added to the term ‘Generation’ we get 42nd GENERATION. This is the generation or unidentified, not fully known or understood yet the most awesome if known as will be disclosed in this revelatory, inspiring and empowering teaching.

The 42nd GENERATION – DEFINED
Matthew 1:1, 6-17 “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 42d GENERATION is summed up in this wise:

This is the generation born and generated in and of Christ that will not pass away until they see the fullness of the kingdom of God in glory and power.
This is the generation that will serve the Lord as their king and worship Him as their personal Saviour and Lord in the fellowship of His Church.
This is the generation that will proclaim, declare and demonstrate God’s eternal purpose on earth.
This is the generation that are forgiven, quickened, raised, made and commission to live for the glory of the grace of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.
This is the generation born from God’s eternal love, full of God’s love, with hope and faith in God and in the vigour and splendour of God’s grace and glory.
This is the amazing, awesome and majestic generation raised and generated already in the stead of Christ Jesus our Lord.
This the redeemed generation, created, recreated and raised already as God’s anchor-leg in all His plan, purpose and pursuit for human redemption.
This is the generation that will bruise the head of satan and his cohorts through the manifold – multi sided – wisdom of God.
This is the assumed missing generation with the mystery of God’s redemptive good news in Matthew chapter one – The seed which is going to serve Jesus Christ and declare His generation on earth in righteousness.
This is the chosen, peculiar and special generation born with the REDEMPTION mandate.
This is the generation of royalty – kings – and priests unto God.
This is the generation of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the embodiment of His shekinah glory, power, honour, blessing etc Amen.

In Matthew 1:1, we understand that the whole New Testament began with the word – THE GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST (KJV) – in context: ‘’The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of . . . ‘’ It is not a book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ though it indicates the genealogy that has been before Christ, it is of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ. It is all about what Jesus Christ came to generate and generated into the earth for the cause of God in Him.

The 42nd GENERATION – How it was Generated

Matthew 1:1-17 “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”.

I encourage you to read over again and again the entire text scripture. You might have like some, wondered how Jesus could be acclaimed to have generated a generation when He never married, nor had offspring to enable him to bring forth a generation on His behalf as laminated in the Holy Writ declaration below.

Isaiah 53:8 ”He was taken from prison and from judgment: 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’’.

The lamentation of Isaiah 53:8 as to ‘’ . . . who shall declare his generation”, is worth considering and giving food for thought. Knowing full well there was no known lineage or offspring in the picture or in view. More importantly, especially when he was to be killed and cut off out of the land of the living, though He’s been stricken of the transgression of humanity by the Father God.

The scripture in Matthew 1:17 categorized all the generation until Christ into three groups:

Abraham to David – 14 generations
David to Babylon – 14 generations
Babylon to Christ – 14 generations

Until Christ was born, there were 41 generations. At Christ’s birth, then came the 42 generations. Where is the generation of Christ seeing that Matthew 1:16 only indicate 41 generations. More importantly, note the changed expression use in Matthew 1:16 with regards to the generated 41 generations. It is no longer the use ‘’who begot’’, as in expression from the previous verses of the scriptures but in the expression “of whom was born” as to this scriptural context “. . . the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus’’. This indicating Jesus was not begotten of natural generation.

The 42nd Generation – Where it was Generated

Matthew 1:1 “The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham”

The scripture of Matthew 1:1 began with the declaration – ‘’The generation of Jesus Christ. . .’’ – not genealogy of Jesus Christ. The book of Matthew and the entire New Testament is about that GENERATION.

Isaiah 53:8, 10-11 ”He was taken from prison and from judgment: 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 . . . 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’’.

The verse 10 indicates a profound statement – ‘’He shall see his seed’’. But from where will the seed come, knowing there was already a lamentation in verse 8 as regards to Christ been cut off from the land of the living and none to declare his generation.
Praise God – There is an answer! The same scripture in verse 10 made also a profound declaration of an answer that ‘’when thou shall make His soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed and he shall prolong his days . . .’’

1 Corinthian 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’’.

Hebrew 9:28 ‘’So Christ was once OFFERED to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation’’.

Hebrew 10:10, 12, 14 ‘’By the which will we are sanctified through the OFFERING of the body of Jesus Christ once for all . . . But this man, after he had OFFERED one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God . . . For by one OFFERING he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified’’.

The programme of God to bring forth the 42nd GENERATION has been an hidden mystery of His kingdom ever since He spoke of the SEED of the woman in Genesis 3:15. The SEED of Jesus came forth actually when God made His soul an OFFERING for sin. Just as God performed the first surgical operation in that He opened up Adam’s side and brought forth Eve his wife in Genesis 2:21-23 to raise a generation, even so God caused the side of Jesus Christ to be opened as in John 19:34-37 and brought out a special and peculiar generation – the 42nd GENERATION.

1 Peter 2:5, 9 ‘’Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 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’’.

Genesis 2:21-23 ‘’And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he TOOK one of his ribs, and CLOSED up the FLESH instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a WOMAN (Eve), and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man’’.

John 19:33-37 ”But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke 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 knows 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’’.

This is the generation which shall serve Him. A people created and recreated, redeemed by the BLOOD. This is the generation which will love Him and adore him with great faith and hope. This is the generation that shall be His bride at His appearance. A generation REDEEMED from all kindred and tongue and people and nation.

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 KINGDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; And hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth”.

I John 1:7 ‘’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’’.

The 42nd Generation – The Grand finale Clue

Psalm 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’’.

The scripture in context above has an amazing revelation to the reality of the emerged 42nd Generation. It thus indicates this profound finale clue: “A SEED – (singular) – shall serve Him. It shall be accounted to the Lord for A GENERATION. THEY – (plural) – shall come (that is to say this generation) and shall declare his righteousness unto A PEOPLE that shall be BORN, that he hath done THIS”. This is the SEED born from the offering of Christ soul on the cross, where He was stricken and pierced on the side by the sword; nailed hands and feet, with crown of thorns on His head to release the eternal blood for human REDEMPTION. And by His blood there emerged the DECLARATION of the awaited GENERATION – The 42nd GENERATION.

Romans 5:17-21 ”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.) Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord’’.

The redemptive revelation and inspiration of Psalm 22:30 speaks of the Church of Christ (Singular) with many body members in particular (Plural).

1 Corinthian 12:12-14 ‘’For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the BODY is not ONE MEMBER, but MANY’’.

The last true and anchor-leg generation – is made of one blood, one Spirit and one family. It transcends race, culture, lingual, gender and denomination. No body can be part of this generation until he or she comes by the water and the blood. The blood gave birth to the 42nd generation. The blood is the grand finale clue to raise the 42nd generation.

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’’.

Ephesians 1:7 ”In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace’’.

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’’.

The 42nd Generation – The Vitality

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 Corinthians5:17-21 ”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 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. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 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’’.

The 42nd generation is the generation of Christ Jesus our personal Saviour and Lord. This is the generation that cut across race, gender, culture, denomination, creed etc. He tested death for all and paid the prize of Redemption for all mankind. The vitality of this generation is about being a new creation. Born of God’s Spirit, Born with hope, faith and genuine love. Born to reign in life, Born justified with no guilt, born to reign in righteousness. Born to triumph and win life battles and reign in dominion. Born without shame, fear and inferiority complex of any degree etc. This is the 42nd generation, an awesome, amazing and majestic people.

I John 5:9-13 ”If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 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. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God’’.

The 42nd Generation – How To Become

Acts 20:21 “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ’’.

John 3:3,5 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”.

John 3:16-19 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”,

There is no hard and fast rule to become grafted into 42nd GENERATION. It is an accomplished work of grace. It’s done and not to be done. The 42nd GENERATION is already raised by the Father God in our Lord Jesus Christ. It’s a matter of having faith (trust) on what the Father God has done in Christ – Christ offering Himself as the sacrificial lamb – to raise the offspring of the 42nd GENERATION.

This requires from you an act of repentance – change of heart – towards God. This is done by your heart believing and mouth confessing of Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord unto your SALVATION.

Romans 10:6-13 “But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.

This grafting will insure and assure your wellbeing by the blood of Christ into the family of 42nd GENERATION – New Creation in Christ Jesus unto our God. –I John 1:5-9; 2:1-2; Hebrews 9:20-21.

The 42nd Generation – FINALLY

I 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 faded 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”

1 John 5:18 “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is BEGOTTEN of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not”.

Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father”.

Galatians 4:5 ‘’To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the ADOPTION of sons’’

Ephesians 1:5 “Having predestinated us unto the ADOPTION of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will”

Dearly beloved, being a member of the body of Christ Jesus – the Church – indicates you have being begotten and adopted into the beloved family of God – The 42nd Generation. For it does not yet appear what we shall be, but when He – Jesus – shall appear we shall be like Him. I earnestly do challenge you to search the scriptures to enable God by the Holy Spirit revealed to you the unsearchable riches of His glory for you in Christ Jesus, in whom we have our right of REDEMPTION to be partakers of His will in the family of – The 42nd GENERATION or REDEMPTION GENERATION

AFD APRIL 2009

April 1, 2009 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Your Promised Land – REDEMPTION – Has Been PAID For

Achievers’ Daring Spirit To Possess What Belongs To Them

Deut 1:6-8 “The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.”

Matt 9:29 “Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.”

Gen 12:1-3 “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed”.

Greetings

Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD, hosanna in the highest – Matt 21:9.Shalom! I bring you this month of April kingdom greetings in the redeeming name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

I trust that through this Achievers’ FAITH Digest April 2009 edition you will lay hold of your rights and privileges in possessing your promised blessings in REDEMPTION. To this end you will bring all things under your feet and control in enjoying and becoming what you are born of God to be in Christ Jesus.

Psalms 111:9 “He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name. ”

Luke 1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for HE hath visited and redeemed his people,”

1Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION:”

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 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. ”

April 2009 Edition

I just can’t but lift up my hands for the graces made available for me to make this month AFD come your way again. Lots of battle in making an affirmation decision what the Holy Spirit would love us to have as a way to our achieving our goals and aspirations by the daily breath we receive from Him – Job 33:4; Job 32:8. In preparing for this edition my spirit perceived two forces to deal with.

Firstly it’s the beginning of a new financial year in the United Kingdom in April. Decisions made by the government will shape the economic and political structure and course of the country. Families, businesses and individual lives will be affected by these decisions.

Secondly the G20– assumed economically developed nations – are meeting in London this week to determine how to emancipate the world economy from the crunch and meltdown. The decisions that they come to in the communiqué, will do a lot to shape the entire world economy.

While I appreciate all these efforts being made by various governments and leaders of nations, the question that comes to mind is if the Christian believer knows full well and has been able to come to terms with the decision of God towards them, not only for these times in which we live but till eternity – Jeremiah 29:11 (amplified); 3 John 2; John 10:10.

The Good News – You’re Redeemed

Deut 1:6-8 “The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.”

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 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. ”

Ephesians 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”

The good news in spite of the decisions that the various governments and G20 nations will come to is that there is another decision from above. Your promised blessing in redemption has been paid for. You don’t need to merely rest your life on the G20 nations but arise in a daring spirit of faith to hold to great life and begin to possess your possessions in Christ. You are the decider of your own future and destiny in God today.

No matter how null and void your situation looks like today, know for sure that Christ has redeemed you from stagnation and set backs to blessings. Your redemption comes with a fully paid bill. Our God wants to see you become in life, possessing the land of promise He has given to us all as an inheritance – Eph. 1:3, 11, 14.

May you know that of all God’s creation, mankind is the only upright creation of God on two feet while others are on four. That is how vital you are in life – the daring ability to possess your promised land.

There is an Error – Under the Sun

Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 ‘’There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth ”

Rev 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.”

Rev 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. ”

A man’s ignorance or foolishness is his own mountain. The wisdom of God – knowledge and understanding – to discern the differences in times and life is the principal tool to deliver, give freedom, set one at liberty to possess ones possessions in knowing that our promised land – Redemption – is paid for.

The book of Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 indicates that there is an evil and error under the sun. That those God has redeemed and promised blessings to be princes and princesses in Christ sits in the lowly place of life, walk barefooted in life as servants – takes in left over civil jobs in most cases – while supposed servants – unsaved, unchurched, unbelievers – the folly are set in great dignity -great jobs, life prospects – and riding on horses.

Have you ever wondered why unbelievers seem to make it in life while you with the biggest Bible on hand is yet to find the fullness of God’s promised blessings? Especially when you consider Rev 5:9-10; Rev 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:9 and Romans 6:17 declaring that you are a kingdom of priests and that we ought to reign in life.

There is an error under the sun hence the Achievers’ FAITH Digest is bringing this edition to you peradventure you will allow God to make it right in the end in you and through you. Why is there an error under the sun? It is because believers have not been able to appropriate spiritual things into physical manifestation – Ephesians 1:3. We know the promises of God and yet still live in mediocrity.

That is why God compelled Moses to speak to the children of Israel in Deut 1:6 for their circumstances of being stagnant in their Christian walk which was against their promised title deed. We need to possess our promised land – redemption – because it has been fully paid for. This is the way out of the error under the sun for every of God’s children under the sun.

The Promised Land – Fully Paid For

Gen 12:1-5“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.’’

Deut 1:5-8 “On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them”.

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.”

We serve a God who does not promise that which He cannot deliver. He has planned your success and destiny. When the Lord appeared and spoke to Abraham – the father of our faith – and made him a promise in Gen 12:1-5, Gen 15:7-21 and Gen 17:9-14. God ensures that all things come to be as promised.

The promised blessings were:

Promised Land – Canaan – (A land of milk and honey, peace and tranquillity).
Descendants ( Posterity)
Greatness (Dignity, favour and honour etc.)
Blessedness (Favour, graciousness, health, silver and gold, etc.)
Defence (from curses, abuse, enemy etc)

With nothing but a daring spirit of faith, Abraham and his family moved to possess all the promises of God to him.

In Gen 23:1-20, at the death of Sarah, Abraham purchased the Promised Land – Hebron of Canaan. He ensured that the land had title deeds (Certificate of Occupancy) for safety and security. The rights and privileges of possessions to the Promised Land that flows with milk and honey.

Owning land indicates possessions, stability, assurance, insurance, credibility, status, fulfilment, actualisation, being settled and destined to obtain. It’s for this reason that a lot of people aspire to own land in any place.

Now when God spoke to Moses to take his people to the Promised Land in the book of Exodus 430 years after Abraham had fully paid and obtained the rights of the title deeds, they did not know that the land had been fully paid for and that a daring spirit of faith was the only requirement. Due to unbelief, from the generation that left with Moses, only Joshua and Caleb were alive to witness God’s Promised Land. The ten spies perished with the rest of the generation that left Egypt for the Promised Land with Moses.

The death of Sarah brought about the purchase of the land of Canaan – the Promised Land. A place to actualise the purposes, promises and will of God for His people. A land that was not obtained by human war but made ready for all Israelites by one man’s act of obedience to the will and purposes of God. And In spite of their arrogance and disobedience, lack of faith in God, the land was always there waiting for them.

God has fully paid for our redemption through the death of Christ to ensure that we have access to our Promised Land – Redemption. The death of Jesus on the cross and the shedding of His blood paid for our title deed to our inheritance. The promises of God as in the Holy Writ have been certified, ensured, assured, insured and enacted by the blood of Jesus Christ for us. Hebrews 6:13 – 10:25

Psalm 111:9 “He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name”.

Luke 1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,”

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:”

1 Cor. 1:30 “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”.

2Cor 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. ”

The promises of God for your land today are that you’ve been redeemed from sin and its effect: Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual death. Praise God! Halleluiah!! Amen!!!

By Wisdom – Appropriate and Enact

Ecc 8:5 “Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.”

Prov 13:15 “Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.”

Prov 21:16 “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.”

Prov 24:5“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.’’

Wisdom is the daring grace to discern time and make right judgements meaning the ability to discern differences in making life decisions on any issue that confronts us daily. When you consider their suffering due to their ignorance and in not trusting God we may want to blame the children of Israel for their ignorance in not being able to appropriate and enact the reality of their promised blessings. Remember God spoke to them through Moses to go and possess the Promised Land in order to actualise His plans and purposes for them in it.

In Genesis 15, God told Abraham that His people would only go through life phases for 400 years before they would come into their promised blessings. But Israel under Moses stayed an extra 30 years before they went into their promised blessings because they loved their lifestyle in Egypt more than their destined place of rest. They lacked the wisdom: that is they failed to discern time and to make good judgement.

Today Christ has paid for all our desired needs to make life meaningful. It is up to us to discern time and make judgement through knowledge and understanding of His will towards us, in actualising the reality of our fully paid blessings in Redemption.

We pay dearly when we wander away from wisdom – understanding of knowledge- that helps us to discern our Promised Land through good timing and making the right judgement to enact and appropriate them into our lives – Prov. 13:15; 21:16; 24:5.

Pursue The Will – Then Comes The Promised Blessing

Hebrew 10:35-36 “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. ”

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.”

Heb 6:9-12 “But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises”

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. ”

Why should you be stale in faith and in achieving the promised blessings when it is all paid for?The blood of Jesus in His death has no Adamic nature, knowing that His conception was from the work of the Holy Spirit as the Holy Writ says. His blood has such tremendous ability and grace to usher in the promises of God for us all.

The book of Hebrews 10:35-36 enjoins us to pursue the will of God primarily that we might receive or inherit the fullness of the promised blessings of God – Heb 6:9-12, Gal 3:13-14. The book of Hebrew assures us of the need for confidence in our faith, not giving up and being patient to inherit the promised blessings. The reason behind all this is that God does not want us to repeat the mistakes made by those before us – the mistakes of pursuing the promised blessings and not the promisor.

Knowing the will of God in our life is a tool to possessing – appropriating and enacting – our promised land of redemption: a place of actualising the fullness of God and His blessings in our life. The will of God should be our utmost priority to enhance the release of His promises to us.

Hebrews 10:36“. . . after you have DONE the WILL (lined up your life with His plans and purposes), you might RECEIVE the BLESSINGS (promises of God).’’

The promises of God are sure and true. The Holy writ of Rev 5:9-12 indicates in verse 12, seven promises of the REDEMPTIVE covenant. Blessings obtained and received by Christ on our behalf are covenanted to us in His Certificate of Occupancy as sealed in His blood. Hence you can occupy – do business – till He comes as challenged in the scripture – Luke 19:13

The Seven Redemptive Covenant Deeds Received On Our Behalf Are:

Power (Authority) – In place of oppression, fear, intimidation etc

Riches (wealth/Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst, lack etc.

Wisdom (knowledge + understanding) – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc

Strength (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, Disease etc.
Honour (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, disdain etc.
Glory (Fame) – In place of shame, reproach, etc.

Blessings (Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc.

When Jesus led captivity captive, He obtained our redemption – rights and privileges – in the will of God for us to enjoy as His blessings.

FINALLY – Possessing Your Promised Land

Psalm 111:9 “He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name. ”

Luke 1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,”

1 Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”

Deut. 1:5-8 “On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them”.

Deut. 2:24-25 “Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. ”

God gives the Promised Land – REDEMPTION – but it’s the individual believer’s prerogative to possess the land as an Achiever. Psalm 111:9 indicates that God promised to send Redemption, while Luke 1:68 indicates that Redemption has visited and redeemed His people, and 1 Corinthians 1:30 enjoin that Jesus is made unto us – REDEMPTION. In other words, everything we need in the Promised Land is in Jesus Christ. It’s this possibility right that enables the woman called ‘Daughter of Abraham’ in Luke 13:10-17 to be set free from the infirmities that had made her bent over for 18yrs. Jesus has obtained the Land. Let’s arise with a daring spirit of faith to inherit our blessings.

Before possessing your promised land you must possess the enemy gates, dispossess your enemy, in that some promises may require a fight of faith – Matt. 16:18; Matt. 11:12; 1 Tim. 6:12; Gen. 22:17; Deut. 1:5-8; 2:24-25. Possessing is a matter of choice. The Promised Land is the promise of God. If you can possess the gate, you can possess your Promised Land and the gate is your soul the seat of your mind, will and emotions. If you can possess it and bring it under obedience to God’s will and purposes in your daily life, you can ensure your promised blessings will come – 1 Cor. 9:24-27.

Luke 21:19“Inyourpatiencepossessyeyoursouls.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. ”

If you can till your soul with God’s word on a daily basis, to believe the truth of God’s word and live speaking the word instead of focusing on the facts, I can assure you that you will have plenty of bread; than poverty, sickness, hunger etc will keep at arms length from you. You can only BECOME and ACHIEVE according to your FAITH.

Prov. 12:11“He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. ”

Prov. 28:19“He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.”

Matt. 9:29 “Then touched he their eyes, saying,Accordingtoyourfaithbe ituntoyou.”

I therefore pray that God take you out of the natural into the supernatural realm. A consciousness of knowing that you are a divine project and God will not abandon you. And by the reason of God’s grace you will not be found with an ‘April fool’ mentality this month but ‘April Wise’ mentality. Have a blessed and fruitful month as we celebrate Christ Jesus – This EASTER knowing your Promised Land – REDEMPTION – is paid for. Amen

A Daring Spirit of Faith . . . In the will of God . . . Possessing your Promised Land . . . Enjoying Your Redemption

In His World For His Glory,

Triumphantly Reigning In Life

– Achievers Course of Dominion –

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’’

2 Corithians 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’’

Shalom! Kingdom greetings!! I gracefully welcome you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, praying that His grace, peace, love and mercy might take hold of you with all things under your foot according to the Holy Scriptures, amen. I hope that in this month – FEBRUARY 2009 – where many are crazy for valentine kind of love expressions, that you might find the reason to celebrate God, living triumphantly daily with all things under your control, reigning in life by Christ Jesus in the fullness of His grace towards you.

February Edition

To some the year – 2009 – 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 edition – the ‘World Economic Forum’ – DAVOS 2009’ was having major economic plans to shape the world economy in Switzerland. 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 sundry nationwide and probably in a collective sense global-wise. 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.

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 you 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. I bare record that they are many believers in the kingdom today just going through life or merely existing that if what they holds as strength at the moment – Job, position, family, finance etc – are temporarily or permanently tempered with by any force of life, they crutch to the bottom with no inner grace to rise up again, that is if they will even remember again if there is a God in Zion.

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 unforgivable, 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 – 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’’

The Scriptural books of 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 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 a true 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 and lifestyle.

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 – 1 Peter 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.

Kinds of Life – A choice to make

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 indicates that we have been made (not to be made) 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, 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 by what kind of life you are living by.

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‘’

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.“

The Zoe Life – God kind of life – speaks of the nature, life and person of God – eternal life. 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 live 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 are more of just existing 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, make decisions without individual wills involvement. How can such a person reign in life? Know today that a mere ‘manner of life or behaviour of life’ doesn’t determine a man’s destiny but eternal life – God kind of life – in a person is what determines his destiny.

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 indicates 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 REDEMPTION 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 born of God 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 overlord on people – but over life challenges, circumstances, principalities and powers and over the domains of satan and his cohorts 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 a 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 them 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 obedience to Christ (lots to write about on reigning as royal but time and space). Its time to arise and put an end to all the fear-alleluia, poverty-alleluia, sickness-alleluia, complain-alleluia etc which some may not be saying or confessing, but may be acting out knowingly or unknowingly, thereby affecting their life goals and pursuits. You are redeemed to reign in life as royal, know it today and start to live in it now – (Hebrews 3:15).

Empowered – To Reign in Life

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 subhead scriptures above indicates 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 indicate 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 prize 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:

·Abundance of grace and

·Gift of righteousness

These ingredients are already en-grafted 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 4:14-6)

Hear this, when you make an effort to actualize in your life – Zoe and live with God consciousness in you, an ability to reign in life becomes as natural, this will enable you to dominate all that have hindered you to make all things become possible. You can then be able to reign in life:

·In genuine Love and Faith

·In revelation knowledge, understanding and wisdom

·In integrity and prudence

·In righteousness, Holiness and sanctification

·In Consecration and commitment

·In giving and receiving

·In Hope and assurance

·In Patience and temperance

·Over trials and temptations

·Over sinful living and such-like

·Over anger and bitterness

·Over the detects of satan, demonic powers and principalities

·Over unsanctified thoughts and imagination that works – in and through -our minds

·. . . and in many other kingdom life demands

Finally – Reign as the son of Man, Jesus!

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’’

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 2009 is no longer a wish. It’s here already. God wants you to triumph and reign in life. The days of a 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 reign in life over that – business entrepreneurship, marital relationship, career instability, general life relationship, health, finance, just name it – 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 – son of man – reigned in life by the abundance of supply of the Father towards him even as we have received. He reigned and dominated principalities and powers, overcame temptations and trials etc. He had a choice to 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 – in Heaven. For as a son of man He reigns:

*Over all flesh – John 17:1-2

*Over Temptations and trials – Matthew 4:1- 11; Luke 4:1-13; John 14:30

*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

*. . . And many over’s as in the Holy writ. (John 21:25; 2John 12; 3 John 13)

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 a Zoe kind of life and 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’’

I sincerely pray for you that in this month, God will awaken you by this FEBRUARY EDITION of the Achievers’ FAITH Digest so that you can begin to reign in life in full. 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, amen.

Dare To Take Your Place . . . Triumphantly Reign In Life

This Christmas!

‘Celebrating Christ’s Birth – Commemorating God’s Love’

Matt 1:16-25 ‘’And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ . . . Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins . . . Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us . . . And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS’’

Romans 5:8 ‘‘But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us’’

Hallelujah! Praise God!! It’s Christmas again!!! I bring you kingdom greetings in the precious name of our saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in whom we live, we move and we have our being. Amen! It beholds God in His grace to call you His people in which am empowered in this commission of the Gospel to pray and trust that you will find the good will to celebrate Christ and commemorate the love that the season brings – This Christmas!

Christmas 2008 Edition

Thanks to God for Christmas, for the smiles it brings on peoples faces during this season. Looking through the happenings in the world today – a time of mans ‘great’ invention and discovery, economic empowering of man – has given us neither peace nor harmony but trauma in all human phases of existence. Today, killings and wars go on our streets, uncertainties in our nations, our world with political and economic instability, family breakdown, relational unfaithfulness, generational decadence, business and career setbacks etc. just to name a few. All this being is in pursuit of answers to human problems. Our world cries with great thirst and hunger, seeking for who will quench her yearnings, desires and aspirations. This is the reason that Christmas – a yearly celebrating of the birth of Christ – is vital to all mankind irrespective of religious beliefs, race or generation.

Christmas may be sectioned in this wise: ‘CHRIST’ – meaning the anointed One, the Messiah, the Saviour. MAS from ‘MASS’ – is the yearly Celebration of the birth of Christ with a grace or benediction of the triune God. 2Cor.13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen”

The Christ – Humanity

1 John 4:1-3 ‘’Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world’’

John 1:14 ‘’And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth’’

1 John 5:7-12 ‘’ 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. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 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’’

1Timothy 3:16 ‘’And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory’’

As I skip through the various news channels on TV, radio stations, make and receive phone calls, go through the world wide web, drive though the streets in town – the jingling one hears is of the Christmas news and events. People of all nations are buying, selling, making or marking an event to make this Christmas worth celebrating.

However there are other opinions about Christmas, Some say that it’s a heathen day, a pagan holiday indicating that December 25^th is not the day on which Christ was born but in October, however with no date to it. According to some it is for pagans and satan due to the glamorous events and activities that are now associated to this date. Just because the enemy perverts and distorts the meaning and essence of the celebrating of Christmas, does not mean that we should let go of that which we believe is of God.

For me and every supposed spirit born child of God, what is vital in the whole scenario of indifference is that Christ was born in the flesh – humanity. The scripture in 1 John 4:1 –3 and 1 John 5:7-12 says that any person or people who do not acclaim that Christ was born in the flesh are the antichrist. Christ means the Messiah, the Saviour, the anointed one while ‘anti’ means to be against. This indicates that such a person does not believe in Christ’s virgin and humanity birth and as such becomes an enemy of JEHOVAH God. It’s also proof that such a person or group of persons have undermined the record and prophesy spoken of God in time prior to Christ’s birth as in the holy write. Such an individual or group, the Holy Scripture calls a fool. (Psalms 14:1; Isaiah 53:1)

Celebrating – The Birth Of Christ

Isaiah 7:14 ‘’Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel‘’ (Matthew 1:23)

Micah 5:2 ‘’But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. (Matt 2:6)

Gen. 49:10 ‘’The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be’’

To celebrate means to observe in a special way, to praise honour solemnise, worship and to make merriments of great joy.

Celebrating the birth of Christ is the most awesome event any creation of God should count a privilege to partake in – not only in this season of life but a daily experience. When you come to know the significance of His birth and what it has brought to you as an individual you will desire to have Him born in your heart and not just in the world. You will be compelled to seek after Him, to worship, honour and celebrate him like the three wise men from the east according to the scriptures – Matt 2:1–12; Luke 2:1-20.

Let us celebrate him for he is born indeed; He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:

Peace and goodwill toward men
Hope for men.
Beauty for ashes
Oil of joy for mourning
Garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness
A better covenant for men
God’s forgiveness and righteousness for all mankind
The true and genuine love
Faith for the spirit of fear
A new spirit and mindset of the kingdom of God and of the heaven
A new identity with our creator God
True knowledge, understanding and wisdom of our God
True service and worship of God
A majestic and awesome generation
. . . and many more

The Cause of Christ’s Birth

John 18:37 ‘’Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice’’

1John 3:8 ‘’He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil’’

John 3:16 ‘‘For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life’’

In Christmas season, people make that special journey to see their loved ones – friends and family. Some change their residential environment, move or buy a property, change a wardrobe, furniture, house curtains, and electronics and with some theirs is to make some outstanding decorations and paintings. Some might have gone to buy their first car or change for another, while some move to new cities or towns; others are making the best of a special tantalising meal after a long time. Promises and relationships are established or re-established with special love tokens; some are entering for the first time or relocating back to the Church after some absence and many, many other doings.

Only the heavens can explain or quantify to what extent money has exchanged hands and travels to meet the human demands. The groceries store and manufacturers have to put extra effort to meet the targets of human needs and wants which invariably had taken roots of mans heart during this season. Unfortunately some may not have the economic power in terms of finance, yet they will do anything to see their wishes come to reality.

And as important as these cravings or uncontrollable desires are to meet some self set standards, they are incomparable with the true reason for the season – The CAUSE for which Christ came or was born into the world. Christ was born for these causes:

To save us from our sin (Matt. 1:21; Rom. 5:1-2; Acts 3:26; 4:12; 1 Tim. 1:15; 2:5; Isaiah 53:5-10)
To give us eternal life (John 17:3; John 3:16; 1 John 5:11-12)
To restore us to God’s kind of love (Rom. 5:8; John. 3:16-17; John 15:13)
To restore us to God’s kind of peace (Eph. 2:14, John 14:27; Phil. 4:7)
To destroy the works of satan against our life (Acts 10:38; 1John 3:8-9)
To restore us to an abundant (overflowing) life (John 10:10; Jere. 29:11)
To reconcile us back to God (2Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 2:1-22)
To give us true freedom and deliverance (Like 1:68-71; 4:18-19; Heb. 2:14-15; Col. 1:13-14)
To redeem us from the curse and effect of the law and the fall of man (Gal.3:13-14; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14; Rev. 5:9-10)
To restore us to a place of healing and health (Matt. 8:16-17; 3John 2; Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Pet. 2:24)
To give us a true spirit of knowledge and understanding to life (John 17:3; 1John 5:18-20)
To prosper us (3John 2; 2 Cor. 8:9; Matt. 6:33; John 10:10; Josh. 1:8)
. . . and many much more

Commemorating Love

Rom. 5:8 ‘’But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us’’

John 1:18 ‘’No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.’’

1 John 4:7-11 ‘’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. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another’’

To commemorate is an act of honour and to keep alive the memory of the love of God towards us because of what Jesus has done. This Christmas – the annual or yearly celebration of the birth of Christ can only be relevant and with virtue if God’s kind of love becomes our centre pace of life. In other words our celebration should not centre only on the food, wine and merriment. The main core heart-of-God why we celebrate Christ is to commemorate God’s LOVE that He has abundantly showered to the world. It is for this Love drive that Christ came into the world.

If there be any meaningful reason to celebrate, we must take out time from our comfort zone to demonstrate this great love for which we’ve been received and accepted in the beloved of God. When we lift the banners of this love in a genuine heart, we will end the bitterness of life without struggle, it will stop wars and killings on our streets, it will comfort the bereaved and strengthen the Orphans; it will end many hunger and thirst in our neighbourhood and in the world today. It will give clothing and shelter to the less-have or helpless; it will save the lives of children betrayed by their parents; It will stop the marital and relationship breakdowns and decadence. It will silence the terrorist and expose their hidings, networks and evil in our societies. It will silence the enemy of our generation. Gossip, betrayal, kidnappings and others will die a natural death. Love is the only spiritual silence that can keep our enemy at bay while we advance the Gospel of the Lord in our various activities of life.

Jesus was born with love, for love and he died for love. God is love and all who indeed celebrate His son – Lord Jesus Christ – must celebrate Him with a large heart of a true and genuine Love as also in the following scriptures. 1 John 4:6-21 and 5:1-12.

Finally: The Mass – The Benediction

2 Corinth.13:14 ‘The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen’

However, as wonderful as Christmas celebration is, be it known today that Christ is enthroned. He is no longer the:

The babe in the manger
The servant to death
Neither the limited one nor the Christ on the Cross.

He is now the:

God on the throne (Seated at the right hand of the Father God)
Omnipotent (unlimited, all powerful),
Omnipresent (He is present everywhere at the same time) and
Omniscience (all knowing)

(Rev. 1:10-18; 19:16; Matt. 28:18; Phil 3:21).

Let us enthrone him in our heart, crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords and establish His presence in a daily commemoration and celebration and not just in another one year again.

I challenge and commend everyone who by virtue of grace have been ignited by the spirit of God’s love in Christ Jesus, to arise with faith and earnestly go and extend the good love of God in your hearts to others – that is the essence of a true living. You can begin from your home and the fire will spread to give hope to someone else near you.

I pray you have and enjoy a fabulous and great celebration of this Christmas and may God’s eternal love ever be your portion and prosper your goings during this season as you commemorate and celebrate His love. 2 Corinthians13:14 ‘The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen’

Dare to Celebrate Christ . . . Commemorate God’s Love

In His World For His Glory,

MERRY CHRISTMAS and BLESSED NEW YEAR

Overcoming In Life By The GOSPEL

– The Enabling Power to Achieve Life Goals –

Romans 1:16 ‘’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”.

Deut 8:18 “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day”.

In Jesus’ name I welcome you to this graceful month of October. I trust God that you will never have a cause to regret this month, because you will do the word of God. The desire to achieve purposeful goals lives in the heart of any diligent achiever (Prov 4:23, Prov 22:29, Hebrews 11:6). The present global economic crisis affects every intention of all today including God’s people. In human perspective, you will wonder if there is hope more so of pursuing visions & desired goals. Though many may want to give up or are already giving up, you don’t have to, because you are an achiever. Achievers are winners, and winners don’t give in or give up. They work through crisis, turn it into a crown, to make and established their covenant. For success to an achiever, is failure turn inside out.

The Lord has sent me through this month’s edition to announce that you can overcome. You are already by reasons of your redemption in Christ Jesus, triumphant, victorious and more than a conqueror in the plans & purposes of God. All God expects of you is to live daily celebrating His goodness in the midst of– not for – the present challenges in times like this.

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

1 Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:35–39 “. . . Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us . . .”

The Gospel

Romans 1:16 indicates that the enabling power to achieve salvation comes from the gospel. Salvation is the embodiment of redemption – the saving of the soul, wholeness, deliverance, success, prosperity, healing, soundness, security & preservation.

When the achievers’ desired goals are to enhance or propagate the gospel, God will empower such desires irrespective of any economic, spiritual, demonic and physical opposition.

In Deut 8:18, we are admonished to know that we are covenant children & the intention of God is to establish His Word on, with and for His people. He does this by empowering them to get wealth. The word GET means to create or achieve wealth. Why wealth instead of ‘just enough’ till we get to heaven – but to authenticate God’s covenant and for what He is and for what Christ is done. A Lion does not give birth to an ant. God beget god (Gen. 3:6; Psalm 82:6, John 10:34-35). Setbacks & poverty should not rob us of who we are in Christ. If God intends for his people to achieve/create wealth it is because He has an intention – the gospel – that the salvation of mankind might be accomplished.

Isaac Famine Crunch

God never allowed economic crunch or famine to hinder Isaac’s desire plans in the Bible days to take His people further towards the promised land. Instead Isaac overcame in all his troubles and challenges as a carrier of the covenant as long as his focus was on God’s mandate – the Gospel.

Genesis 26:1-22 “And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham . . . 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. . .”

The reason behind Isaac achieving goals like others in the scripture is because they respected the foundation and memorial of God’s plan and purposes in their time. They adhered tenaciously to what God considered to be their landmark or foundation if they must prosper and enjoy His covenant

Prov 22:28 “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set”.

Psalms 11:3 “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Jeremiah 6:16a “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. . . ”

Achieving goals is a struggle for many believers. It’s even worst especially among the so called gospel ministers, because we are ministering without the gospel. A lot of man-made ideology is taking its root that some find it difficult in public to let known who they are. Instead of standing in the office of their calling, it appears they want to confine their life like the speakers of the world popularly called motivational speakers or good communicator’s probably to win the flavour of the day. Hence the Gospel calling of God as a Pastor for some like other ministerial offices is no longer acceptable, popular or a pride to acclaim to. But what are you called to DO or desire to ACHIEVE in life is the question now. What has come to take the place of the gospel wherein is the power that saves us. A lot of people in that they can’t or are struggling to achieve their goals have in essence gone compromising their faith. Where lays then the POWER OF THE GOSPEL that brings SALVATION – favour, peace, joy, mercies, forgiveness etc, in the Holy Spirit. Let us restore the gospel to its place as the foundation & God’s only memorial given to us in Christ to propel, prosper and appropriate the fullness of our salvation that we might find rest to our soul. The gospel gives – hope, faith, strength, love, life, deliverance, prosperity – to our desire goals either in business, career, marriage, ministry etc, name it.

Living for A Cause

1.Jesus – Our Example & Pattern

John 18:37 ‘’Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice’’

1 John 3:8 ‘’He that committeth sin is of the devil;for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil‘’

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’’

From the above scriptures we see how our Lord Jesus could get all the heavens available to Him to deal with the affairs of life. Not necessarily as God but as a man because the Gospel – salvation of mankind – the wellbeing of people was His passion hence He overcame triumphantly. He had the heavenly with him as a man simply because:

He lived for a cause – not any kind of life
He lived for a purpose – focus, vision, driven.
He had the Gospel (God’s passion) in Him – people oriented,
He had heavens approval with diverse miracles and wonders – supernatural provisions.
Heaven provided human help to assist Him in achieving His goals (Luke 18:1-3) in spite of having an accountant who turned out to be a thief and a betrayer.

2. Apostle Paul – Another Example

As a teacher: Acts 20:20-21, “And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”.

As a Pastor: 1 Thess 2:2-8 “But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness: Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us”

As an evangelist: Romans 9:1-3 “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh’’10:1 “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved”

As an Apostle: 2 Corinthians 11:28 “Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.”

Apostle Paul in spite of all oppositions & economic challenges as recorded in the scriptures, he achieved the cause and purposes for which he was born – the GOSPEL (Galatians 1:6-11). Hence he could make the bold statement of achieving his goal as in this scripture below.

2 Tim 4:6-8: ”For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing”

Your Empowerment

Beloved, the scriptures in Romans 1:16 and Deut 8:18 indicate the means by which we can overcome and be empowered. Our God is not allowing economic crisis to punish the world but to wake the saints up for such a time as this. He wants to pour out His knowledge and wisdom on the church so that when the world is limited economically and otherwise, they will look to the church for hope and freedom. If the church is beggarly, struggling and compromising the truth of the gospel, we will only become like the world, suffer, complain and murmur like they do.

Therefore Arise! For it is written in 1John 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’’ if you can receive the right course of the gospel – salvation of mankind – God will empower you to create & achieve goals that will enhance your life and the destiny of others. When an individual, family or a nation devote their life to the cause of God’s will – the Gospel – empowerment (wisdom & knowledge) will come into reality. God will only commend what He commands – THE GOSPEL.

Finally

I pray this month of October you will daily experience the life of an over comer and God will cause you to achieve His purpose in your life. I do ask that our God will empower you as an individual, family or a Church and that you will not lose your focus in the Gospel. Its time to achieve goals by identifying what God has called you to be in the kingdom. You are made for success, don’t live small.

Only the Gospel has power to bring forth your salvation – desired goals – wholeness, wellness, health, healing, saving of the soul, sound mind etc.

Dare to overcome . . . the enabling power – THE GOSPEL.

His Servant, Your Brother

Achieving Life Goals through ‘’God’s Righteousness’’

(To view the scriptures, hover the mouse over the scripture, alternatively, double click to view scripture in different window.)

Romans 1:16-17 “”

Philippians 3:9

Praise God! That the set month – September – is here, a month the Lord has instructed me to remind His people to live a lifestyle of righteousness. A life set apart for God, is a life of righteousness. We live in the days that issues of right living are becoming absent in most of our pulpits in the name of political correctness, avoiding offence and not hurting people. In all this, most Christians are struggling to discern why some promises of God are not being fully actualised in their lives as in the scriptures while others enjoy the abiding and awesome presence of God in their lives in spite of the same battles that each goes through.

What determines ones achieving their life goals is in whether they are living under a dogmatic and man-made creed of righteousness or living on God’s kind of righteousness.

RIGHTEOUSNESS – Its Work and Effect:

In scriptural context, it means having a right standing in and with God. It means the right to live and stand in God’s presence without guilt or fear. It also means the right and boldness to appear before God’s presence to obtain help and mercy in times of need without wrath and a doubting heart.

1 Timothy 2:8

Hebrews 4:14-16

The work and effect of righteousness is peace, quietness and assurance. Righteousness produces good work but mere good works or charity on its own is not righteousness. For no man is justified by mere good work as in the law.

Isaiah 32:17

Galatians 2:16

REIGNING (Achieving) in Life:

By the act of our Redemption, we’ve been called into the Kingdom of our God. Hence Christ enjoined us to seek the life style of the kingdom as we seek God’s kingdom. Seeking the life style of the kingdom is seeking God’s way of doing and achieving things. The simple reason is because God’s kingdom life style is about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And if we are to reign (achieve) in life as expected in the kingdom, and do business in the kingdom with God, we must of necessity live a life style of righteousness in the Holy Ghost. This is the only way we can partner with God for Him to commend our life pursuits. Hence the great need for every intending achiever to earnestly thirst and hunger for a righteous life style which Christ promises to satisfy.

Matthew 5: 6 “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled”

Matt. 6:33 ‘’ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you‘’

Romans 14:17

Romans 5:17

Revelation 5:9-10

God’s Kind of RIGHTEOUSNESS:

In the main headed scriptural text of Romans 1:16-17 and Philippians 3:9, God’s kind of righteousness can be deduced in these formats:

It’s born of the revelation in the gospel of Christ at time of our Salvation in our hearts (spirit)
It’s powerful to make one live a triumphant and victorious life
It’s an act of faith
It cuts across creed, denomination and race. Meaning it’s not dogmatic, not peculiar or particular to some group of people but available to all mankind to live and enjoy God.

In 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, the scripture enjoined us to understand our place in Christ Jesus. That by the virtue of our redemption in the gospel revealed in and to us, we are made: New creation, Ambassador, Reconcilers and God’s righteousness.

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

For Jesus became SIN (not sins) for us, that we might be made God’s righteousness in Him. Also, in 1 Corinthian 1:30 ‘’But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption‘’ and Romans 10:4 ‘’For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth‘’ we can see another cardinal plan in our Redemption that Christ Jesus is made unto us righteousness. Now as God’s people who have been ‘made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus’ and ‘Christ Jesus made unto us Righteousness’, it means that living a righteous life, is living in the consciousness and abiding presence of Christ in God. For Christ in us, the hope of glory, the hope to achieve goals, the hope to triumph, the hope to be – a winner, victor and more than a conqueror any day, anytime and anywhere.

Righteousness in Demonstration

God’s kind of righteousness is expressed by the empowering of the indwelling Holy Spirit in us as found in 1Corinthial 3:16-17 ‘’ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are‘’ This scripture indicates that by this indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, God’s love and righteousness is shed (spread) abroad in our hearts. In other words, we can live a meaningful life full of love and righteousness towards God and mankind. (Romans 5:5). By the indwelling Holy Spirit we can live above condemnation, dogmas and creed that lead to various kinds of bondages and self harm. Demonstrating in the Holy Spirit God’s kind of righteousness, we are empowered to return to God, be reconciled and restored when we sin. This is also true for now, for anyone struggling with sin to return to God, be reconciled and restored back to God.

1John 1:5-10

God’s kind of righteousness is a gift of God and it delivers one from sin and its consciousness and effect.

Proverbs 14:34 ’’Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people’’

Romans 6:23 ‘’For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’’

Some Likely Benefits of a Righteous Lifestyle

They are lots of benefits in living God’s kind of righteousness. Here are just few of them;

Dominion over sin (Romans 6:14)
Makes and enhances friendship with God (James 2:23)
Makes one live a transformed life (Romans 12:1-2)
Enables one to live above condemnation (Romans 8:1-2)
Takes one from strength to strength as in faith to faith (Job 17:9, Romans 1:17)
Delivers one from the God’s anger and wrath (Psalm 7:11; Romans 1:16-18)
It ensures peace, quietness and assurance forever (Isaiah 32:15-17)
. . . and many more

Finally beloved, the call to be set apart this month as a way of awakening us to the consciousness of God’s righteousness is to enhance us in achieving life goals, God’s way. If we must partner with God, this kingdom prerequisite is a must, for it attracts God backings and commendation. For sin consciousness is devilish, man-made and dogmatic and Satan’s set up to have us in guilt and bondages as he is the accuser of the brethren the scriptures say. Living in righteousness will keep us afloat and unspotted in this life as we deal with mistakes, challenges, disappointments and problems of life.

I welcome you into this set month as I do earnestly pray that your relationship and communion with God will increase more and more and you daily triumph, achieving your intended goals. May God set you on high as you set your life apart in His righteousness.

In His World For His Glory

Publishing The WORD . . . REDEEMING The Whole-man

From The Chains of POVERTY, SICKNESS & SPIRITUAL DEATH

Note: All scriptures are in King James Version except otherwise indicated.

Faith Testify

THE MIRACLE IN YOUR MOUTH

FAITH TESTIMONY is the vocal expression of your Faith: On what God has done, has began to do and will yet do for you.

2 Corinthians 4:13 “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak“

Proverbs 6:2 “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth“.

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised”.

Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him – satan – by the blood of the Lamb, and by the WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death”.

Your Faith is the result of your believing system. Your believing system or world is as result of your heart content. Your heart content is as result of your feeding enrichment. As it is written ” . . . out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” Luke 6:45/Matthew 12:34

Faith Testimony – Professing or Confessing – of the Word of Faith is necessary as it affects the miracles that the good God is delivering into your hand. This is spiritual, legal and vital to ensure and create the world you cherished and want to enjoy. Hebrew 10:23; Romans 4:17-19. This is what David did in 1 Samuel 17:32-50 to bring down the giant – Goliath – in his life and in the life of his people – The Israelites.

Faith Testimony stimulates faith and challenges God to act on your behalf. It sets the Angels to work on your behalf – Hebrews 1:14, Ecclesiastics 5:6; Psalm 103:20.

Faith Testimony – not unbelief or doubt or a lie – is based on the truth of The WORD of God. Faith Testimony is an attitude of your being grateful to God. It is a sign of gratitude, a sign of trust, belief and of faith in God and from God. A sign of thanksgiving to God. Faith Testimony is speaking forth the unseen – unknown – to the seen – known. 2 Corinthian 4:13, 18.

Faith Confessions and Testimonies are about affirming who and what you are in Christ as well as what you have in Christ according to the word of God. When you begin to say with your mouth – “This is who I am”; “This is what I am” – this will build up the consciousness to bring about physical reality of your desires in God’s word.

Faith confessions and testimonies create realities. Faith demands expression. To develop a robust faith, you must confess and testify of your faith on the word of God. This is not positive confession – it is you affirming faith on the word of God. What you need or desire is already real in the spirit – faith confessions and testimonies make it real in the physical world.

By faith confessions and testimonies, we receive our salvation and desired miracles. Salvation in biblical concept is not just only in reference to being born again but includes and endorses all the packages in our redemption:

Deliverance
Dominion
Favour
Finances
Forgiveness
Fruitfulness
Guidance
Healing/ Health
Marriage
Prosperity
Salvation
Security
Strength
Wholeness

The Christian faith was once called the Great Confession or Profession. It’s a faith in which those who are a part of it confess/ profess & testify to their belief. Faith Confessions & Testimonies are a major principle to enact the will, the covenant/testament of God’s word into reality. For a Christian who wants to enact their triumph, victory and success in Christian faith in line with what Christ has done and is doing, will as a matter of principle, live a life of faith confessions and testimonies.

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised”

Hebrews 10: 36-38 “For you have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet, a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any men draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him”.

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”.

Revelation 19:10 “And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”.

1 Corinthians 14:3 “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort“.

Isaiah 8:20 “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them”.

Philemon 1:6 “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus”.

Faith confession and testimony is the Christian act of faith to bring about the reality of the concealed promises of God in His Word. That is, the release of breakthrough out of our spirit in order to enact, authenticate and establish God’s Word and purposes into our situation.

Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make thy way prosperous, and then you shall have good success”.

Proverbs 18:4 “The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook”.

Proverbs 18:20-21 “A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

How Faith Confessions And Testimonies Work:

Scriptural reading within context: Psalms 19:14, Proverbs 6:2, Proverbs 12:14, Proverbs 13:2, Proverbs 18:4, Matthew 12:34b, Luke 21:15, Romans 10:8-10, Hebrews 10:23, Hebrews 10:36-38

Romans 10:9-10 “That if you shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”.

From the above scriptures, we can deduce that:

What our heart believes is vital. The heart speaks of the spirit of man. By the heart, you believe God’s word unto righteousness.
What our mouth confesses is vital and scripturally legal. The scripture says that death and life are in the power of the tongue. That a man shall live by the fruit of his lips. There is power in our mouth. By it we confess our victory into reality. ‘CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION’.

Faith confessions and testimonies in the content above can be concluded as an act of agreeing to the Word of God in our heart and confessing or testifying to God’s word with our mouth to bring forth our desired salvation.

There are promises in your mouth – Dare to confess them, Dare to speak them forth

(Scriptural Search: Romans 4:17-22; Romans 10:8-10; Luke 17:11-21; Philippians 4:6-7; Hebrews 3:14; 10:35-39; 1 John 5:14-15, Mark 11:22-24; Proverbs 18:21; Revelation 19:10. etc )

The Bible

August 16, 2008 By Chukie MORSI Leave a Comment

The Bible is the harmonious and beautifully constructed Word of God. It’s known to be Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal. It’s a fortress often attacked but never failing. Its wisdom is commanding and its logic convincing.

Salvation is its watchword, eternal life it’s goal and it punctures all pretence. Trust it, love it and obey it for redemption and eternal life will be yours.

John 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not”.

John 6:63 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”.

2 Tim 2:15 “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

James 1:22-25 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed”.

A Fresh Anointing

August 10, 2008 By Chukie MORSI Leave a Comment

Having a fresh anointing is a pre-requisite to living a fulfilled Christian life. For where there is no anointing, there should be no ministry or any kingdom business. The level of refreshing determines the extent of our fruitfulness.

Psalm 104:15 “And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart”

Psalm 92:10-15 “But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of a unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

John 15:16 “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained (anointed) you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you”.

God is good, devil is evil.

August 2, 2008 By Chukie MORSI Leave a Comment

When you add the letter ‘O’ to God, you have GOOD because God is a God of addition.

Matt 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.;

John 10:10b“. . . I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

When you remove the letter ‘D’ from devil, you have EVIL, because his deeds are always evil and with evil intentions.

1John 3:8 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil”.

Gal 1:3-4 “ 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:

John 10:10a “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:”
