ENHANCING your FAITH to BECOME what you BELIEVE

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

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

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

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

 Genesis 26:1-25 ‘’ And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.  And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.  And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:  And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.  And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.  And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.  And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.  And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake. And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well’’.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 Guidelines To Enhance Your Faith

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

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

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

Every Blessing,

‘’LIVING THE KINGDOM, ENJOYING THE BLESSINGS’’

Revelation 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’’.

Matthew 6:25-34 –‘’ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. ‘’

How much I welcome you to the purposeful month of Greatness – ‘’Living The Kingdom, Enjoying The Blessings’’. The great mandate and privilege of being Born into the kingdom is to enjoy the blessings also. For everyone born into the kingdom which is as a result of believing in the Redemptive work of Christ is not only just to be saved but are called to inherit a blessing. –

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 hangeth 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 ‘’;

1 Peter 3:8-12 ‘’ Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil ‘’

Hebrews 6:10-12 ‘’ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor 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 ‘’.

Our good Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people. He wants each of us in the kingdom not to become just a mere believers in Him but to live the kingdom in achieving their goals and aspirations in life with godly success, happiness, peacefulness, wellness, healthiness etc. This applies to our goals in having a good home, marriage, property, business/career, children, etc/

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‘’

Psalm 35:27 ‘’Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant ’’

3Jn 2‘’Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth ‘’

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

But unfortunately, many believers in Christ, in pursuance to have this life’s basic amenities have forgotten the kingdom’s major priority or prospect – Living the Kingdom. It’s for this cause that there are a lot of worries, anxieties and depressions with their side effects happening to us in spite of all we have accumulated as possessions.

In the book of Romans 14:17 ‘’ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost ‘’, we can fully ascertain what the kingdom of God is all about. Not just merely fun or of eating and drinking  but having a righteous lifestyle before God in our relations with life and mankind, having and living in  peace with others and without shame before God in a turbulent world and a joyful life in the Holy Spirit in spite of all happenings around you. Living the kingdom is about having a righteous standing with God in an unrighteous environment, living with Peace in the midst of hatred, jealousy, envy, wickedness and disappointment, and rejoicing in your faith by the Holy Spirit in absolute adversities. This is the way to live the kingdom and be above in the present economic and financial instability, natural disasters, political instability, family/domestic breakdowns, business and career uncertainties and much more the continuous and constant spiritual warfare against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places.

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‘’

The Scripture says all who thirst and hunger after this kingdom pattern will be filled, as written in Matthew 5:6 ‘’Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled‘’. This means that the amount of satisfaction and fulfilment one enjoys or can enjoy in the kingdom is as a result of the quest, thirst and hunger one craves for in the kingdom. God will not waste His kingdom resources that have cost God His Son – Lord Jesus – for our salvation on people whose main purpose is self gratification and materialism for human egos.  For this cause, Jesus made some illustrations on how to value life in the kingdom as written in Matthew 6:25-34 (Main text above). The above scriptures inform us that our life is more precious than mere food and drink, that the body is more vital than clothing. And much more, that we seek first the kingdom of God and His way of doing things (Righteousness), which will enhance all we intend to pursue or are pursuing as believers, then we can have our desires come to reality by no act of stressfulness; and not the other way round as being done in a crazy manner by the unbelievers (Heathens or Gentiles, the scriptures call them). Living the kingdom will give freedom from all forms of anxieties, worries, depression, trauma and disappointment, for we are a people of life, faith, hope and love. We need not to fight or pursue life affairs as those without life, faith, hope and love. Know full well that we are of God and God’s promises will never fail. Delay is never a denial, for our God is always on time. 1 Corinthians 1:9 ‘’God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord‘’.

GOD PROMISES/BLESSINGS:

  1. God wants to ADD wellness to your life – Matthew 6:33 ‘’But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you ‘’.

  2. He promises us a life of hope, welfare and future – Jeremiah 29:11 ‘’ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end‘’.

  3. That in times of famine He will look after us – Job 5:20-27 ‘’ In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good ‘’; Psalm 33:16-19 ‘’ There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine; Psalm 37:16-19 ‘’A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied‘’.

In the bible days when the ECONOMY and MONEY FAILED the men of first civilisation in Egypt, God was THERE for His people, much more now we are under His grace and mercies, He will care for His own. Genesis 47:13-27 ‘’And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth. And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not aught left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s. And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands. Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants. And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s. And Israel (God’s people) dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly‘’.

Beloved, as Achievers in Christ Jesus, I pray that you live in the consciousness of the kingdom for what your are as in 1 Peter 2:5-10 ‘’ 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. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, and precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 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‘’. Today a great shaking is happening in diverse places in the world which is invariably affecting nations, some having an economic and political instability, natural disasters, financial crunch, business/career insecurity, family and domestic decadence, community killings or rituals, local and international wars etc. Some of these things we have created are hunting us in a way. But as God’s own child, the scriptures have made it plain that we can live above all these circumstances and that comes by Living the Kingdom in order to enjoy the Lord’s goodness with pleasure – Psalm 65:11‘’ Thou crowns the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness ‘’.

Finally, as we go through this purposeful month of June, the book of Revelations 5:9-12 (explained earlier) indicates seven key kingdom covenant blessings which Christ received on our behalf as His redeemed people. We are redeemed to enjoy them and I duly present them to you and that you pray them into your life as you ‘Live The Kingdom To Enjoy The Blessings’:

  1. Power for fear, inferiority complex and timidity (2Tim. 1:7)

  2. Riches for our Poverty (2Cor. 8:9)

  3. Wisdom for ignorance (James1:5)

  4. Strength for our weakness ( Isaiah 40:28-31)

  5. Honour for our shame (Eph. 2:5-10)

  6. Glory for our reproach(Col. 1:27)

  7. Blessing for our curse(s) (Gal. 3:13-14).

I pray that all these kingdom rights and privileges be added to you as you seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness PURPOSEFULLY and I do prophesy that Isaiah 3:10 become your daily song and experiences throughout this month of JUNE. BE ETERNALLY PROSPERED! Amen.

In His World For His Glory,

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!

‘’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

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!

Declaring ‘’God’s Purposes for Your Life into Reality’’

A Month of Speaking

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’’

As a lion gives birth to a lion and a mango tree produces mangoes – God gives birth to gods, in His image and not that of apes.

Genesis 1:3-4; 26-31 ‘‘ . . . And God said, . . . And God saw . . . 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’’

John 10:27-38 ‘’My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him’’

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

 

1John 4:17 ”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”.

Our enemy, the devil and his demons, know this too well. Genesis 3:4-5 ‘’And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil’’

If you POSITION yourself where God has made you SIT with Christ in the heavenly places, then you can no longer speak in human wisdom, ideas or philosophy to overcome the enemy of your faith.

Ephesians 2:4-7 ‘’But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by (grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus’’

Ephesians 1:19-23 ‘’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’’.

1 Corinthians 2:1-8 ‘’And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught: 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’’.

Managing Directors do not speak as their employees do or Doctors as their patients – likewise we as Ambassadors of God cannot and should not speak as the world speaks. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 ‘’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’’; Prov. 13:17b ‘’. . . a faithful ambassador is health’’. We cannot mount up wings as eagles and flap around like chickens. We are either at freedom by the Word of God or enslaved by our own words and taken captive by the world system. Proverbs 6:2 ‘’Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth’’; Proverbs 16:24 ‘’ Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones’’; 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’’.

Except when God created man, everything else that He created, He first SAID . . . then He SAW it come to fruition. In the same manner, Jesus wants us to respond to issues in life. Mark 11: 20-24 ‘’And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them ’’.

What are you saying today about yourself and about Gods’ purposes in your life? In your daily life do you react according to the way that you feel about your circumstances or do you respond according to what the Word of God says about those challenges and situations. Know full well that it is what you speak that the divinely assigned angels respond to – be it good or bad. Hebrews 1:7,14 ‘’ And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?’’; Psalms103:20 ‘’Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word’’; Matthew 18:18-20 ‘’Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them’’.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU BECOME BY THE WORDS THAT YOU ALLOW TO FRAME YOUR LIFE.

Speak Well . . . Live Well!

AUGUST 2007

 

An Awesome Month of: ADDING TO YOUR FAITH in Christ JESUS in achieving your desired goals in life.

 

2 Peter 1:1-11

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 Saviour Jesus Christ:

2. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3. 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:

4. 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.

5. And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7. And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

  

The above scriptures highlight some spiritual additives. These spiritual additives in verses 5 – 7 i.e. virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity, are vital in our faith in Christ Jesus in order to partake fully in the blessings of verses 1 – 4 and 8 – 11. As Achievers with a great destiny in and ahead of us, we cannot afford to be lukewarm in our faith walk in an ungodly, unbelieving and spiritually decaying world as the Laodicea’s did.

Revelations 3:14-19  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, Iwill spew thee out of my mouth.

17. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

 

The scriptures say that Jesus came to deliver us from the evil of this 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:

 

Luke 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.

 

Colossians 1:13 ‘’Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son’’

 

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.

 

 This is a done work but we need to enact our faith with some spiritual principles that enhance our faith in order to achieve our desires in life.

 

Therefore arise and ADD to your FAITH these spiritual additives to enable you to avert avenues of spiritual barrenness, blindness etc, that hinder one from achieving goals in the knowledge of Gods’ Word for ones blessings. It is when man sleeps spiritually that the enemy of our faith comes in to sow tares, leaving one spiritually blind and ignorant to ones position, rights and privileges in Jesus Christ.

 

Matthew 13:24-30, Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

 

 Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding gives favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

 

Its time to make our calling in Christ Jesus sure, in order to enable our access into the abundance of the Kingdom of God and the promises in:

 2 Pet. 1:1-4 ‘’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 Saviour 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’’ 

 

and

 

 2 Pet. 1: 8-11 ‘’For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:  For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’’

 

This is your month to reign form your POSITION in Christ Jesus and not from your CONDITION.

 

Be Augustly Blessed!

THE CELEBRATION OF OUR JUSTIFICATION IN CHRIST JESUS

 Romans 5:1-2‘’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’’

 Luke 15:3-32 ‘’ Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. Andwhen he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 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. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found’’

Its time to raise your head and shoulders, chest out and walk through life in freedom without fear or intimidation because of what Christ has done in you – JUSTIFICATION. Whether you realise this truth or not – when you are born again, you are justified in Christ Jesus our Lord through faith that brought our salvation. To be justified in Christ Jesus is to be declared guiltless. As one who did not commit that which he is accused of committing!  Why celebrate. . . Because there is joy in heaven for your justification in the Lord. (Luke 15:7, 10, 22-32; Romans 5:1-2). It is time to reign in life from our POSITION of JUSTIFICATION in Christ Jesus and not from our CONDITION. Hence you must live your life without fear, guilt, inferiority or intimidation.

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

 Luke1:74-75 ‘’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’’.

 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’’

Your circumstances or condition will not only fail, intimidate and limit you with time – but also rob you of reigning, triumphing and overcoming in life. Our situations will cripple our peace in the long run, no matter how glorious they are today. Hence as achievers in Christ Jesus we must live in a new consciousness by the reasons of what Christ has done in us. The consciousness of the one that God has justified. Live in the fullness of the freedom that God offers in His Kingdom.

 2Corinthians 2:14 ‘’ . . . 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’’

 1Corinthians 15:57‘’ . . . thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ’’

 Romans 8:37 ‘‘. . . we are more than conquerors through him that loved us’’

For this knowledge, wise men like King David, with all his achievements, continually maintained a joyous celebration, declaring the Lord as his shepherd and source of total wellbeing. That is, doing life and exhibiting a life style of JUSTIFICATION from his Position in the Lord.

 Psalm 23 ‘’A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever’’

 Let us celebrate, invite a friend or family this month to your home and have a joyous occasion.  It is worth more than anything material. There is nothing that can compare with a lifestyle filled with joyous celebration through and through.

Live FREE . . . Celebrate JOYFULLY . . . For You’ve Being JUSTIFIED

In His World For His Glory
