Maximising Every Opportunity

“Towards Building Your Precious Faith’’

2 Peter 1:1 ‘Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:

Matthew 13:44-46 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it’.

Ecc. 9:11-12 ’I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them’.

I perceive strongly in my spirit to specially WELCOME you into this Month Achievers’ Faith theme: Maximising every opportunity towards ‘Building Your PRECIOUS FAITH’. How precious is your Faith in Christ to your wellbeing. For a man can only treasure what he values and has respect for. How valuable is your faith in Christ then? Have you ever read or considered that you can’t purchase or exchange your Faith for wealth, money, career, fame etc.?

Psalm 49:6-9 ‘They that trust in their WEALTH, and boast themselves in the multitude of their RICHES; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth forever:) That he should still live forever, and not see corruption’.

Prov. 23:5 ‘Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for RICHES certainly make themselves WINGS; they FLY AWAY as an eagle toward heaven’.

We live in the time of life and in a generation in which many have no understanding of the times in which we live. Unlike the Children of Issachar who understood their time – 1Chronicles 12:32 ‘And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment’. For us, we live in the last days and a lot of ‘’Last Days’’ events as in the scriptures are daily fulfilled before our eyes positively and negatively. How much more shall we see reasons to continuously and constantly make every effort to treasure our Precious Faith as a Vessel not as an Ornament as in

2Tim. 2:19-21 ‘Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work’.

For as a Vessel we can become more to our generation as God’s Achievers. For success without a successor is failure in disguise just as prosperity without posterity is a complete Failure. Our God wants us to be a plus to our generation – Meaning to our Family, Church, Career/Work, Community and Society in general – He wants our life to count in every phase of human endeavour, hence the scripture declared us as a message to one, a people or a generation.

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 ‘Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart’.

We are God’s own and an extention of His goodwill to mankind.

The book of Jude 20 ‘But ye, beloved, BUILDING up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost’, encourages us to build and how to build our Precious Faith. Also, Colossians 2:6-7 ‘As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving’ speaks of us being rooted, built up and established in our Precious Faith. Apostle Paul knowing the value of building Faith request the Ephesus Church Elders to what they should do to build their Precious Faith as in Acts 20:32 ‘And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified’.

To build is to make progress, develop, edify, rise like an edifice higher and higher in every areas of our life. We need to make an effort to build and not stagnant because we are engaged daily in spiritual warfare 1 Timothy 1:18 ‘This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare’ we are engaged in a Fight of our Faith as in 1 Timothy 6:12 ‘Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses’. God wants us to fight a good fight of Faith, some fights are just not worth the aggro, hence we have complexity in our family/marital life, career, Christian life, social life resulting in many emotional breakdowns. Apostle Paul fought a good Fight of Faith (2 Timothy 4:7)

Building our Precious Faith in Christ is the only way to keep ourselves alive and awake in this time of all sorts happening around us. For when we BUILD, we are INSPIRED, and when we are inspired we will not EXPIRE. Meaning our inspiration from God will not go dim – 1 Samuel 3:1. The Bible wants us to be inspired and not to sleep in order to have a positive effect on our generation. (Ephesians 5:14, 1Cor. 15:34, Romans 13;11, Proverbs 20:13, 10:5, 6:10, 24:33, 1 Thessalonians 5:6).

We need to keep building up our Precious Faith, for we can’t live our life in the past or experiences of old. What may have been relevant yesterday may not be as relevant in today’s affairs to enhance our Precious Faith in order for us to live a triumphant, victorious and an overcomer life style. (1 Corinthians15:57, 2 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 8:37). In Romans 10:17), the scripture tells us how our Precious Faith which is spiritual can be built, lest we become a people of no faith (2 Thessalonians 3:2), carnal (1Cor. 3:1-3) and/or natural (1 Corinthians 2:14-16).

We need to build our Precious Faith, because it’s the only spiritual tender of obtaining or having any form of deal or exchange in the shop of Heaven (Heb.11:6, 2Cor. 5:7). The book of Hebrews chapter eleven summarises what Faith does through the life of those that are mentioned.

Finally, can you please read and meditate on Matt13:44-46. It sums up a Heart Attitude for Heart Altitude of one who quests to treasure what is precious, valuable and priceless. Every opportunity and chance is maximised to obtain the treasure (Ecc. 9:11-12). You can begin today and through the Month of MAY to seek for all it takes to build your precious Faith to enhance and increase your WHOLESOME life in fulfilling your kingdom mandate (1Thess. 5:23, Heb.4:12-13, Lk. 2:52).

May the good Lord grant you abundance of grace in maximising every opportunity to build your precious Faith.

BE AMAZINGLY BLESSED!

Manifesting  An “Effectual FAITH Life” Diligently

 Philemon 3-6 ‘’Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication (Sharing or Fellowship) of thy Faith may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus’’.

 Luke 18: 1-8 ‘’ And he (Jesus) spake a parable unto them to this end, that Men ought always to Pray, and not to FAINT; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH on the earth? (See also 1Samuel 30)

Provebs. 22:29 ‘’Seest thou a Man DILIGENT in his business? He shall stand before Kings; he shall not STAND before MEAN men.

Hebrews 11:6 ‘’but without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for him that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him

Here in Britain, our financial year begins this month of April. While to many it is April Fools, to the Diligent in life, it is April Wise. The wise in Christ must know that Anointing without money can become Annoyance, and in some cases a complete frustration in our Faith Lifestyle when facing the global financial famine and challenges of this generation.

 A lot of diligent decisions which can make you have an Effectual Faith Lifestyle or a Fainting Lifestyle come by this Month of APRIL. That is the reason that our Lord Jesus in Luke 18: 1-8 was concerned about the faint–hearted believers. This is because He has paid the necessary price to enable our communication or fellowship of Faith lifestyle to be EFFECTUAL. To be Effectual means that our FAITH/FAITHFULNESS in Christ is producing, generating and achieving all our intended and desired results.

We are Born Again to reign in life for a CAUSE or PURPOSE, not to Faint nor Give up in our Faith lifestyle. Hence Philemon 6 reminds us that an Effectual lifestyle is the acknowledging of every good work which is in you in Christ Jesus. There is a good work wrought by the Lord in you. For we are God’s workmanship; Ephesians 2:10 ‘’For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

In the same manner, we are strongly counselled in Proverbs 3: 5-6 ‘’Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Not to lean on our own understanding but to acknowledge God in all our ways. It is very important for every believer intending to have a long lasting effectual Christian life that will do others good, to have this understanding that not having our intended desire come to pass may be due to not acknowledging that is of God and not of ourselves. This will stop selfishness and self-centeredness to the opportunity God has given us to bless or communicate or share or fellowship our FAITH with others EFFECTUALLY. For by flesh shall no man prevail or become Effectual in the kingdom faith lifestyle. 1Sam.2:9b ’’ . . . for by strength shall no man prevail’’; Zechariah 4:6b ‘’. . .  Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts. ). 

Finally – an Effectual Faith Lifestyle is not about what you can do for God but about what you can allow God to do through you to the glory of our risen Lord and the blessing of mankind. It is not about how INTELLIGENT one is but about the Lord’s GRACE allowed to work in all of our life. BE WISE!

 Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 ‘’ I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them’’.

 Romans 9:16 ‘’ So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.

 2Corinthians 3:5 ‘’Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God’’

I pray this month of APRIL that your FAITH/FAITHFULNESS will be EFFECTUAL in all you lay your hands to do. Be blessed as you DIGEST.

MARANATHA!

Mothers’ Day 2008

By Leave a Comment

MOTHER’S DAY ’08

I’ve been inspired to entitled 2008 Mother’s Day, ‘The great impart of a Genuine Mother’s Faith’’.

 

2 Tim. 1:3-7 ‘’ I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind’’

 

Prov. 31:10-31 ‘Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates’’.

 

I thank God for another opportunity to stir up every mother’s spirit. It’s my prayer that during this period of Mothers’ Day, every mother comes to a reasonable understanding of how powerful their FAITH in God is to this generation. That’s far more than receiving mere gifts, cards, special meals and outings.

Any woman can be a mum, but it takes a great hearted-spirit to be a mother, much more a significant mother in the life of a person. The book of wisdom, Proverbs 31:10-31 makes a very important remark in verses 10 and 28 which I have coined ‘’A genuine mother’s Faith who can find? For her price is far above rubies’’

Motherhood is a highly favoured calling affecting all that pertains to this life and godliness, hence Apostle Paul wasted no time reminding Timothy to reject such mothers that have no genuine faith and not to give such also an opportunity to destroy his destiny. 1Tim.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’’.

 

While in 1 Tim. 1:3-5, he recalls the ’GENUINE FAITH’ of Timothy’s grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, which apostle Paul saw in Timothy supposing to be from his mothers’.

As Mother’s day is cherished today, especially here in England, it’s worth pondering on your Faith if you’re a mother. Being a mother is a major responsibility and not just only a place of honour and dignity. For in motherhood, there destiny of life is made, nations evolve, hence the kind of FAITH you communicate from your life and nucleus family is the faith that shapes the world.

 

Philemon 3-6: ‘’Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus’’.

 

When mothers have ‘Genuine Faith’ in God, the Family, Church, community and nations are honoured and dignified.

 

Heb. 11:11 ‘’ Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised’’

 

Prov. 10:1 ‘’The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother’’

 

Prov.15:20 ‘’ Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness’’

 

Prov.17:25 ‘’ A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him’’.

 

When mothers take their God given place like Deborah of old, nation’s dignities are respected as in the book of Judges 4 and 5.

 

Like Timothy’s mothers, Lois and Eunice, I plead with you to ARISE, take your motherhood dream and place it in ‘GENUINE FAITH’ to Achieve God’s purpose in your life. Your genuine faith in God and God can make it together building a loving family, triumphant Church safe community and a moral godly nation. For when you WIN your family, you’ve won your world. Hence I challenge that you, NEVER GIVE UP, for you are a winner and your dreams are achievable with God.

 

Have a lovely MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION while always have in mind that Great Mother . . . Genuine Faith . . . Blessed Heritage as LOIS – EUNICE – TIMOTHY!

 

Be Eternally Rewarded!

 

In His World For His Glory,

Pst Chukie MORSI

MARCH 2008

Your crucial month to ‘’LET GO AND MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH’’ in the face of absolute opposition.

Exodus 14 vs 13-16 “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea”.

 

Philippians 3 vs 13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”.

 

At death our Lord Jesus Christ made once and for all eternity this remark: It is FINISHED!

 

John 19:30 ‘’When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost’’

 

Meaning that the price of our sin i.e. sickness, poverty, anxiety, fear, regret, depression, life despair and spiritual death have been PAID. We are to live ONWARDS in complete freedom, enjoy health and healing, long life and prosperity etc, and all things that pertain to life and godliness.

 

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‘’

 

In Ephesians 1 vs 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

 

we know that God has BLESSED us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. In the same manner, God promised the Israelites Canaan, land of milk and honey which had been paid for by Abraham, years ahead of them, (Genesis 23) but instead of keeping focused, MOVING FORWARD in faith to the land of promise, they stood STILL crying as those without hope, dwelling on issues that became a MOUNTAIN to their destiny.

 

Deuteronomy 1:6  ‘‘The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount”.

God had to speak to Moses to LET GO of that cry and MOVE FORWARD with the people in Exodus 14:13-16; and also in,

 

Deuteronomy 1 vs 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’’.

 

Our God has lots in store for us, but we MUST LET GO of all sorts of unbelievable vices called sin.

 

Isaiah 59:1-2 ‘’Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear’’

 

They are worms that eat up our life goals and pursuits. The Bible calls them ‘little foxes that spoil the vine’

 

Song of Solomon 2:1a ‘‘Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines . . .’’

 

1 Corinthians 5 vs 6b ‘’. . . Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump’’.

 

In Philippians 3:13-14, Apostle Paul challenged us to let go of the past and move forward to the future. I therefore call on you in this Month to let go and move forward, maximise this month of MARCH to your profiting. Your future is very great, do not mortgage it for lesser matters. Until you hear from me again, Jesus Loves you, so do I.

 

Praying for you. MARANATHA!

FEBRUARY 2008

An awesome Month of:

‘’PONDERING ON & REKINDLING YOUR FIRST LOVE’’ – Rev. 2:4

 

‘’Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy FIRST LOVE’’.

 

Can you recall the Love experiences you had the first time you gave your life to God through Christ; when you met your spouse; when you met or had your Friend’s, Children, Family, Colleagues at work, neighbour etc. That first time you had an encounter with all or any, how much worth was it to you then. What has changed over the period of time, Is the Love life still as refreshing? Has anything gone wrong?

 

The book of Revelation chapter 2 and 3, gives an amazing and awesome x-ray of seven Churches over a period of time, while Rev. 2:1-7

 

‘’Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast labored, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy FIRST LOVE.  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God’’.

 

was about the Ephesus Church/Christians. They had a good commendation on almost every phase of Christian walk except in one, their ‘’FIRST LOVE’’. Their Love flame, inspiration, passion, was gone and decaying.

 

The BIBLE LOVE: Is the frame work and hinges where every Christian ought to live their life. Love is one of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit – Gal. 5:22-23;

 

‘’But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law’’.

 

Also, the lubricant by which our FAITH can WORK and SERVING others can be express –  Gal. 5:6 ‘’ For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which WORKETH by LOVE ’’;  Gal. 5:13 ‘’ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another’’

The Scripture declare LOVE a ‘More Excellent Way’ of doing Life (1 Cor. 12:31-13:13 ‘’But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a MORE EXCELLENT WAY.  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity (Love)’’.

 

No matter what, I can hear the Holy Spirit saying, ARISE, give me a chance to help REKINDLE & BLOSSOM you into RIVERS of Love again – Rom. 5:5 ‘’ And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us’’; John. 4:14 ‘’ But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life’’; Prov. 4:23 ’’ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life’’;  Rom. 8:26-28  ‘’Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose’.’

 

The RESULT of the Ephesus Church/Christians rekindling their ‘First Love’ is the Book of Ephesians which affects every facets of human Love relationship, also, on the how to war spiritually against the enemy of our FIRST LOVE.

 

I do pray you be WISE this month of FEBRUARY in allowing God to do a surgical work in your ‘FIRST LOVE’. Have an awesome and amazing time. Jesus Loves you, so do I,

‘’ENACTING The FREEDOM THAT COMES IN READING The WORD’’


John 8:32 ‘’And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free‘’

Luke 6:1-5 ’’ And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days. And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they which were with him; How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath‘’

What a great year, what a great time and opportunity to be well and alive for this generation full of life and vitality. I perceive that the beginning of Months in the New Year is the time of laying the foundation to the Freedom an individual wants to enjoy, and this I consider as an inescapable task of every Believer in Christ Jesus. And Jesus knew that the freedom every individual wants and need is found in God’s WORD:


Matthew 4:4 ‘’But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God’’.

For me, I see and know the BIBLE as ‘Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal’, which is infallible and completely enrich with the information of life in the now, and that which is to come; more than any TV or other MEDIA have and can ever offer:

2 Tim. 3:15-17 ‘’And that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works’’.

2 Timothy 2:15 ‘’Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth’’. 1Tim. 4:6-8; ‘‘If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 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’’.

If we can Start Reading and Stop JUST Gazing/Watching, our Freedom will come sooner than ever thought:

Acts1:10-11 ‘’And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye GAZING up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven’’.


God does no magic, for kingdom miracles are not accidental but are brought about by spiritual or biblical faith principles. It is the Truth that one knows that sets one Free:

John 8:32 ‘’And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’’.

For it’s written that the just in Christ shall live by his faith on the truth that he knows of God and towards that need in ones life:

Habakkuk 2:4 ‘’. . . The just shall live by his faith’’. Rom. 1:17; ‘’For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written. The just shall live by faith’’.

Life is not about what SOMEONE said or what you THINK you know but what God SAYS as written in the book of wisdom for living:

Proverbs 4:20-21; ‘’My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my SAYINGS. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life’’ .

We are enjoined to incline our ears to God’s SAYINGS, for in it, is LIFE. His sayings about you are in His Word, The BIBLE. Just gazing/watching probably Christian TV Channel or the Pastor on the pulpit (if there is one) will not give sufficient freedom until you start KNOWING for yourself God’s plan for your life through READING then STUDYING The WORD. JESUS DID, hence God APROVED Him!

Lk. 4:16-21 ‘’And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to Read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears’’.

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‘’

Be assured that the price of spiritual ignorance is more deadly than any cancer:

Proverbs 13:15 ‘’Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard (difficult)’’.

Proverbs 21:16; ‘’The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead’’.

In the book of Luke 6:1-5 ‘’ And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days. And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they which were with him; How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath’’.

Jesus answered a question with ‘HAVE YOU NOT READ’ Why? Jn 5:39 ‘’Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me’’.


He wants people to know that Life questions are answered in the scriptures but because we don’t read or really read in-depth, we stay in the same cycle always as those without hope and God in this world.

We can read or search like the BEREA Christian’s:

Acts 17:10-12; ‘And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonian, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few’’.

1 Tim. 4:11-13;  ‘’These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine’’. Prov. 25:2; ‘’It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter’’.

By READING or SEARCHING scriptures one have KNOWLEDGE, then UNDERSTANDING, then WISDOM for LIFE:

Prov. 24:3-6; ‘’Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shall make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety’’.

Prov. 4:5-7; ‘’Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding’’.

Prov. 3:13-18; ‘’Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her’’.

Ecc.7:12; ‘’Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it’’.

FINALLY Beloved, DARE TO READ, LIVE FREE, REIGN IN DOMINION. This I pray,  that as you take this inescapable task of enormous READING that the grace of God in the following scriptural prayers outline below will be yours, Amen.

Eph. 1: 17-23; Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 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.

Ephesians 3:14-21; For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Colossians1:9-14; For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Philippians 1:8-11; And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgement; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Hebrews 13:20-21; Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect (mature, complete) in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Have a BLESSED MONTH without LIMIT!

Year 2008

THE GOODNESS OF YEAR 2008!

 

I prophesy that YEAR 2008 become your year of ‘’DOMINION, Through SERVING The Lord’’.

 

Gen. 1:26-31 ‘’And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  And God Blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

 

Rom 6:14 ‘’ For Sin shall not have Dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but

under grace’’

 

I give God thanks for His immeasurable grace to usher in the ‘’Achievers FAITH Digest’’ into another year again. I perceive strongly that 2008 becomes your year of DOMINION over All things that have limited you, also, an entrance to enjoy the abundant life Jesus have offered us through serving God thru Him.

 

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’’

 

3John2 ‘’Beloved, I wish above all things that thou  mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth’’

 

In Rom. 6:14, we are enjoined by the scripture that SIN, the reason for Poverty, Sickness and Spiritual Death SHALL not have Dominion over us; Meaning, because of what Christ have done, our lost glory to a life of dominion as found in Gen. 1:26-28, have been redeemed, and we can now live through the year(s) reigning in life.

Rom. 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’’ Reigning in life is not just having a sensuous feeling of our freedom but living in the spirit of dominion over our fears and limitations.

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

A life of dominion is to REIGN in Health, Peace, Wisdom, Prosperity, Love, Favour, etc; also, a life of dominion becomes eminent thru SERVING the Lord as our King, Saviour & Lord. This is more than going to Church, it’s a wholesome package of a dedicated life to God & His service on earth with a willing & obedient heart of love, involving our: Life, Family, Time, Money, endowment (Natural/Spiritual), Career etc.

Know full well that there is an absolute enthronement to every believer in Christ Jesus our Lord to reign in Dominion as we endeavour to serve the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. Let’s examine some of these scriptures:

 

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; (10)And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (11) 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; (12) Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing’’

 

Isaiah 1:18-19 ‘’Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land’’

 

Job 36:11 ‘’If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures’’;

 

Ex. 23:25-26 ‘’And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.  There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil’’

 

Lk.1:68-75 ‘’Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he swore to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life’’.

 

Mk. 10:28-30 ‘‘Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said,  Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life’’.

 

Mal. 3:16-18 ‘’ Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not’’.

 

FINALLY, I earnestly pray that in 2008, you will serve the Lord as Joshua did in Josh. 24:15  ‘’And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD’’.

May our God, whom I serve with the spirit of His Son Lord Jesus, cause you to reign in Dominion with Life, Peace, Health, Love, Prosperity, Favour and in the abundance of ALL THINGS.

 

 

Have a graceful new year as our God CROWN The YEAR with His GOODNESS (Psm 65:11) ’‘Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness’’.

 

Blessed NEW YEAR 2008!

MAXIMIZE THE NAME OF JESUS

“A profound month to influence our world with God’s Love”

Matt. 1:21 ‘’ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall SAVE his people from their sins’’

Phil. 2:9-11 ‘’Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father’’.

We live today in the time of life that every discovery of man, economic empowering of man etc has not given us absolute PEACE but has led humanity into more trauma. Today, there are wars in our streets, uncertainties in our nations, political and economic instability, family breakdowns, relationship/marital unfaithfulness and decadence, business and career setbacks etc; you can name thousands of events happening around you today. Our world is in a great thirst and hunger, seeking for who will quench her yearnings and desires as the scriptures clearly states:

Rom. 8:19 ‘’For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Matt. 5:6 ‘’Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled’’

Haggai 2:6-9 ‘’For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;  And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts’.

Psalm 24:1-2 ‘’ The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.  For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods’’

The Apostles in their days did not have the kind of political and economic power nor the technology in every field of human life as we have today, but they had the ‘Name of Jesus’ filled with God’s love, empowered by the Holy Spirit to give LOVE, HOPE and FAITH to their world (Family, Relationship, Neighbourhood, Business etc) as in:

Acts 3:1-10 ‘’Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.  And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye  men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;  And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all’’.

Knowing full well that for this CAUSE Christ was BORN (Jn. 18:37; 3:16)

Jn 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’’.

Jn 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’’.

We, who by virtues of what Christ have done in us, are to extend His love to our world in this season of commemorating and celebrating the love of God. Knowing full well that for this His CAUSE we are SAVED to give God’s kind of Love to our world:

1Jn. 4:7-21 ‘’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. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

As we commemorate and celebrate the birth of Christ this month of Christmas, may we not be just occupied by the buying of mere gifts to give out for this season but to acknowledge the Christ of Christ – mass, that is, Why He Came or was born and what His BEGOTTEN BIRTH has done for us to give to OUR WORLD such as these:

  • God’s Love/Peace: (John 3:16-17; 15:13; Eph. 2:14, John 17:3; 14:1-11; Matt. 11:25-27)
  • Destroy the works of Satan: (Acts 10:38, 1 John 3:8-9, John 10:10);
  • Salvation from sin: (Matt. 1:21; Rom. 5:1-2; Acts 3:26; Luke 19:10; Acts 4:12; 1 Tim 1:15; 2:5; Isaiah 53:5-10);
  • Reconcile us to God: (2Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 2:1-22);
  • Have an overflowing (abundant) life: (John 10:10b; Jeremiah. 23:5-6; Acts 13:38-39; Rom. 10:1-4; 1 Corinthians 1:30, John 11;25-26; 1 John 5;11-12);
  • Healing/Health: (Matt. 8:16-17; 3 John 2; Isaiah 53:4-5; 1Pet. 2:24; Matt. 8:16-17);
  • Freedom: (Luke. 1:68-75; 4:18-19; Heb. 2:14-15);
  • Deliverance: (Colossians. 1:13-14; Luke 1:74-75);
  • Prosperity: (John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 8:9)
  • . . . And many much more (John 21:25; 20:30-31)

As we commemorate and celebrate, be kind to decide today by the help of the Holy Spirit to demonstrate God’s love to your world especially in your Family. For a great Family makes a great Church and it’s a great Church that makes a great Nation. May the good Lord unfold His grace and abundance to you through this month of December.

Have a LOVING CHRISTMAS with God’s Blessings.

In His World For His Glory

EXPERIENCE DIVINE FAVOUR IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

“A lovely month of  God’s remarkable Favour’’.

Act 10:34-35 ‘’Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

We serve a God who does not take sides, does not have favourites, is not partial depending on ones colour, career, age or looks. In every nation, God’s grace, the unmerited favour of God towards us is the same. Society may discriminate, show racism, treat you as second class, but God will never do that. Hence in

1Samuel 2:7-8 ‘’The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them’’.

God raises those that are low in life to the place where they can inherit His glory, because what makes a pillar of strength and hope on earth belongs to Him. This do indicate how much you are in God’s plans, purposes and pursuit for complete redemption experience in you total life.

When you walk in God’s will for your life – which is in his word– favour becomes your daily name. That is what God means in Acts 10:34-35 mentioned earlier, also here in

Romans 9:14-15 ‘’What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion’’.

No matter how much you’ve toiled and maybe at the edge of giving up – DON’T. For there’s hope in the midst of any turmoil of life under the sun.

Luke 5:1-9 ‘’And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken’’.

If you can take another step of faith as shown in the above scriptures just as Peter did, that can end all the years of misery, lamentations, fears and trauma. Know at this moment that you may be at the point of favour, breakthrough and breaking forth into that heart’s yearning which could be about family breakdown, marital crises, financial instability, emotional and spiritual insecurity, career or business uncertainties. God wants you to know that He is mindful of you, loves you and cares about ALL that concerns you and you can raise you head up and enjoy His favour in all you intend to achieve in life because of what Christ has done.

Psalms 115:12-15 ‘’The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth’’.

God is present where you are to favour you, hence this month, speak, act, walk, think and meditate FAVOUR as your new name as in

Philippians 4:8 ‘’Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things’’.

As Jesus increase in FAVOUR with God and Man as in

Luke 2:52 ‘’And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in FAVOUR with God and man’’.

So I pray that this month your increase in Favour will have no end and that God meet you at the point of your very need and grant your hearts yearnings as you trust Him, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

DON’T GIVE UP, There’s a miracle for you! Be blessed and highly favoured.

OCTOBER 2007

A month of ENDORSING & TRIUMPHING in FAITH by ‘’The BLOOD & Word of our TESTIMONY’’

 

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

 

What a month to be reminded and challenged of the awesomeness of the precious Blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Our Faith in what Christ has done is crucial. We need to demonstrate and proclaim our faith in our daily living for our breakthroughs. Being raised up traditionally in an environment where the blood spill of animals for sacrifice was a life style, until Salvation came to my family, I can tell you how powerful the matter of the blood means to life. All sorts of covenants and contracts have to be endorsed by blood.  For life is in the blood. It signifies how authentic the issue in question may be. The above scriptures indicate to us how strongly Satan and his cohorts were totally smashed and rendered powerless through the efficacy of the blood of Christ and the Word of their testimony. They testified of what Christ had done to guarantee eternal victory and triumph.

 

The precious blood of Jesus is authentic, powerful and with great significance considering its ability, in light of the following:

 

  • The Redeeming Ability: 1Peter 1:18-21 ‘’ Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God’’; Acts 20:28 ‘’ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood’’.

 

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

 

  • The Emboldening Ability. Hebrews 10:19-20 ‘’ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh’’ Hebrews 4:14-16 ‘’ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need’’.

 

  • The Cleansing Ability. 1John 1:7-10 ‘’ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us’’ Luke 15:20 ‘’And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him’’

 

  • The Pacifying Ability. Romans 3:23-26 ‘For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus’’; James 2:10 ‘’For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all’’

 

  • The Overcoming Ability. Revelations 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’’

 

  • The Inspiring Ability. Revelations 5:9 ‘’And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation’’

 

In life we are constantly contending for our FAITH with the enemy of our Faith – Satan – in pursuit of our God-given dreams and aspirations. 1 Peter 5:8 ‘’Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world’’;

1 Timothy 1:18-19 ‘’This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck’’; 1Timothy 6:12 ‘’Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses’’; 2Corinthians 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’’.

 

Our Lord Jesus indicates also that there are problems in this life but we should be of good cheer because He has overcome them on our behalf. John 16:33 ‘’ . . .these things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world’’; Galatians 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’’; 1Corinthians 15:55-57 ‘’O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ’’; Hebrews 2:14-15 ‘’Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage’’.

 

Unfortunately, many of us go through lots of challenges and problems of all sorts which affect our wellbeing: spiritual, marriage, emotional, physical, financial, moral and mental health. Our God wants us to live a triumphant life in every situation from the POSITION of what Christ has DONE in and for us. 2Corinthians 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’’; Ephesians 2:6 ‘’And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus’’.

 

Know that the heroes of Faith in the Bible book of Hebrews 11, all overcame by their faith testimony on the precious blood of Christ before the foundations of the World. Revelation 13:8b ‘’ And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world’’.

 

How then can we overcome in Life: 1 Peter 5:7-10; 1 John 5:4-5, Philemon 6

  • By casting all our cares and worries on God.
  • By acknowledging there is an enemy working against our Faith
  • By acknowledging our victory in what Christ is done in and for us. By taking a steadfast resistance in Faith testimony and on the Blood of Jesus
  • By giving  thanks to God for all things.

 

This is your month to daily eliminate the enemy of your joy and testimony in Christ.

Praying for you to OVERCOME, TRIUMPH and to BECOME what you are made to be.

Every Blessing . . . Be yours!
