Your Promised Land – REDEMPTION – Has Been PAID For

Achievers’ Daring Spirit To Possess What Belongs To Them

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

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

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

Greetings

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

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

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

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

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

Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ”

April 2009 Edition

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

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

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

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

The Good News – You’re Redeemed

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

Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ”

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

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

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

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

There is an Error – Under the Sun

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

Rev 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

Rev 1:5-6 “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. ”

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

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

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

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

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

The Promised Land – Fully Paid For

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

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

Gal. 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

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

The promised blessings were:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Colossians 1:13-14 “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”

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

2Cor 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ”

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

By Wisdom – Appropriate and Enact

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pursue The Will – Then Comes The Promised Blessing

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

Rev 5:9-12 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”

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

Gal 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ”

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

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

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

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

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

The Seven Redemptive Covenant Deeds Received On Our Behalf Are:

  • Power (Authority) – In place of oppression, fear, intimidation etc
  • Riches (wealth/Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst, lack etc.
  • Wisdom (knowledge + understanding) – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc
  • Strength (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, Disease etc.
  • Honour (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, disdain etc.
  • Glory (Fame) – In place of shame, reproach, etc.
  • Blessings (Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc.

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

FINALLY – Possessing Your Promised Land

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Luke 21:19“Inyourpatiencepossessyeyoursouls.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In His World For His Glory,

MOTHER’S DAY MARCH 2009

IF I WERE A MOTHER!

– Empowering Godly Woman To Become Achiever –

Luke 1:45 ‘’And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.’’

Prov. 14:1 ‘’Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. ‘’

Prov. 24:3-4 ‘’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.’’

Prov. 29:15 ‘‘The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.’’

Blessed Mother Day!I bring you special and awesome greetings in the precious name of our saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in whom we live, we move and we have our being – Amen! It beholds God in His grace to call you His people – A mother, a godly woman, an achiever. It’s my prayer that by this special edition of the Achievers’ Faith Digest you might be inspired to aspire and not expire; that you might be enlightened, receive revelation and graceful empowerment by the spirit of God – to the end you might excel, your dreams and aspirations in life might be fruitful and you can be a blessing to yourself, family, humanity and posterity without hindrances. I also pray that you will find the goodwill of God to celebrate the love that the special time brings on– MOTHERS DAY!

MOTHERS DAY

Thanks to God for Mothers’ Day! For the smiles and virtues it brings on – Mothers – faces on this day. Looking through the happenings in the world today – a time supposedly to be of mans ‘great’ invention, discovery and economic empowering – has given us neither peace nor harmony but trauma in all human phases of existence. Today, killings and wars go on our streets, uncertainties in our nations, our world with political and economic instability, family unrest and breakdown, relational unfaithfulness, generational decadence, business and career setbacks etc. just to name a few. All this being is in pursuit of answers to human problems. Our world cries with great thirst and hunger, seeking for who’s – Mothers’ Child – will quench her yearnings, desires and aspirations. This is the reason that Mothers Day – a yearly set apart day to appreciate and celebrate Motherhood in the Christian faith world – which I consider to be very vital to all mankind irrespective of religious beliefs, race or generation, although dates differ in nations – March 22, ’09 in United Kingdom.

Am specially constrained by the inspiration of the blessed Holy Spirit to remind or inform you that you are – SPECIAL. Listening to the sayings of the Holy Spirit as in Luke 1:45, the Holy Spirit wants to let you know again and again that God is determined to bring to fruitfulness and fulfilment all things He has spoken to you, or is speaking or will speak to you about as you believe in His words.

To be a mother is an act of grace. Any woman can be a Mum, but only a special heartfelt woman lives beyond been a mum but – a Mother! Motherhood is special and much more vital when you are a godly woman whose earnest desire is to please God by seeing God’s purposes come to pass in your life, family and humanity. That is when your whole life totally depends on God’s guidance, not mere wishful thoughts and concepts of human ideology. Not the consideration of God as a last resort after other efforts and trials have been sorted and made outside Him as if He does not exist at all. God wants to bring about a glorious today and better tomorrow to our generation and posterity and motherhood has a very major part to play in bringing it to fruitfulness. Will you Let God?

IF I WERE A MOTHER – A godly and blessed woman

Luke 1:45 ‘’And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.’’

1 Peter 3:5 – 9 ‘’For after this manner in the old time the holy (godly) women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves . . . and as being heirs together of the grace of life . . . Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should 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.’’

The context scriptures above indicate one primary thing – Blessed or Blessings. The blessed mother is the woman who has entered a covenant of grace made available by our Lord Jesus Christ for all who will believe in Him. To be – Blessed – means to be empowered to: succeed, achieve, become, bring forth or bring about positive results in life. When someone says to you – be blessed or God bless or God’s blessings – they are invariably declaring you to be empowered to succeed. For the Achievers woman – Mother – is empowered by God to succeed in life endeavours as a – woman, wife and mother. It’s a fact in society that not all mothers are wives but one thing is certain they are called woman, mother to a child or children. A godly Christian woman is blessed to achieve greatness in life and have good success (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; 3John2).

The godly Christian woman – Mother- is called to inherit a blessing as found in 1 Peter 3:9. The godly Christian woman – mother – is redeemed from curses to a blessed life as in Galatians 3:13-14. The godly Christian woman is blessed simply because she is a Believer and believes in the entirety of God’s word and promises concerning her in matters of life as in Luke 1:45. If I were a mother – godly woman – I will live in the grace of God and in the consciousness of the blessedness God has afforded me in Christ Jesus as a woman – redeemed and blessed. This act of consciousness in our daily life will liberate and give freedom to you, family, church, society and all and sundry.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – Excellence in a virtuous woman

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

Proverb 31:29‘’Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.’’

Proverb 14:1 ‘’Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.’’

Proverb 24:3-4‘’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.’’

To excel means – to do well, to achieve, to be exceptional, to surpass, above limit, to stand out or be outstanding and superior while virtue has to do with good behaviour, noble character, moral goodness and good qualities in life etc.

If I were a woman, my priority would be to use my God given blessedness in my life to excel in virtue. The proverbs thirty one woman happens to be a mother with such an outstanding virtue that is worth knowing and living for if we must bring about the desired change in our life, family and society at large. One key issue of this proverb woman is that she is not like any kind of woman but an excellent woman in virtue – Goodness. She is blessed – empowered to succeed – and she lives this out. I believe that if I was a woman, I would be the new woman for the new Church.

There is a heart cry today in families, the church and society at large for a true motherhood. Betrayers are found in homes, the church and society today where children have been abandoned and some lack proper parental care hence they live with broken spirits and emotional heartbreak. It’s become a terrible and damaging issue of life today that the rate of divorce going on in Christian FAITH life is heartbreaking when considering that the child or children involved become the victims of two elephants fighting. These acts of parental instability as a result of  – Mothers or/and Fathers – ends up damaging the child’s ability to trust in God fully in spite of the respective individual explanations which they can’t comprehend. This individualistic selfishness for whatever reasons only ends in crushing the child faith in God. Unlike the Proverbial mother whose daily effort is to excel in virtue – goodness – by the blessedness – empowerment – she has received to succeed.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – Will Pursue Grace To Excel

John 15:5 ‘’I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.’’

Ephesians 2:8-10 ‘’For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.’’

2Timothy 1:9 ‘’Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.’’

Excelling in virtue is an act of the grace of God made available to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace is God’s kindness shown towards people because He loves them; Grace is the enablement from on high which is beyond human ability. Grace is God’s free gift given to us without our involvement. GRACE is – God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. This means that for a virtuous mother to achieve and succeed, she needs the grace available from the Godhead:

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

Excelling in virtue as a godly woman – mother – one needs to make Jesus Christ the Lord of their life; the Holy Spirit has to be your general overseer and the Father God has to be positioned to be Father indeed in all matters of doing life. Excelling in virtue is about doing life for the good of our wellbeing, family, church and society at large.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – godly, blessed & virtues woman – my passion daily will be to  pursue God continually and to ask of Him for the grace to excel in virtues in becoming as  (not like) the Proverb thirty-one woman in these respects:

1.Be VITAL as Deborah. Proverb 31:11; Judges 4 & 5.

2.Be an INTERCESSOR as Anna. Proverb 31:18b; Luke 2:36-38.

3.Be RESOURCESFUL as Dorcas. Proverb 31:11-15, 17-18; 24, 27; Acts 9:36-42.

4.Be TEMPERATE as Esther. Proverb 31:26; Esther 1-9.

5.Be UNFAILING & DEPENDABLE as Ruth. Proverb 31:11, 28; Ruth 1-4.

6.Be OPTIMISTIC & POSITIVE as Mary Magdalene. Proverb 31:16, 25; John 20:1-18.

7.Be UNIQUE, SIMPLE & ELEGANT as Mary. Proverb 31:22, 29; Luke 1:26-33.

8.Be SUBMISSIVE as Sarah. Proverb 31:15, 23, 25; Genesis 18:11-24; 1 peter 3:1-6.

9.Be WISE as Lydia. Prov. 31:16, 25; Acts 16:14-15.

10. Be an OVERCOMER as Jael. Proverb 31:25; Judges 4 & 5.

11. Be MOTHERLY as Hannah. Proverb 31:15, 21; 29:15; 22:6, 15; 23:14; 1 Samuel 1-3.

12. Be AFFECTIONATE as the Shunammite Woman. Proverb 31:20, 26; 2 Kings 4:8-37.

13. Be NICE as Abigail. Proverb 31:12; 1 Samuel 25:2-18, 23, 32.

14. Be FAITHFUL & EXEMPLARY as Lois & Eunice. Proverb 31:23; 2 Timothy 1:3-6.

Finally: IF I WERE A MOTHER – What else is there as virtue!

Galatians 2:22-23 ‘’ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.’’

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.’’

The above scriptures in context are other great virtues which can enhance the grace for motherhood. IF I WERE A MOTHER – godly, blessed & virtues woman – I will trust in the grace of God to help me create and manifest these virtues in my day to day life, also, to help me create an atmosphere which my family and society can look up to and enjoy. For I know when I do this I will raise godly children thereby averting the shame that comes to a mother as in;

Proverbs 29:15 ‘’The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.’’

Dearly beloved Mother, I do pray that you will have a wonderful MOTHERS’ DAY not only for today being special but for the rest of your life in the empowering name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. BE ETERNALLY BLESSED!

Dare To Be A MOTHER . . . Be Empowered With VIRTUE . . . Be A Godly Woman ACHIEVER

In His World For His Glory,

Achievers Know-how: The Spirit of Dominion

By Leave a Comment

The Achievers know-how spirit of dominion is the synergy of truth that enables one to achieve and be fulfilled in life. The spirit of dominion is not about dominating over people; but about living with the leverage of God’s mandate over things, satanic and cohorts forces that stands as obstacles in our path of freedom and fulfillment; and that gives the wisdom to understand times and make rightful judgement in life decisions.

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

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.” (AMPLIFIED).

Genesis 1:26-28 “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. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 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.“

John 13:1-3 “Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God“

John 17:1-3 ”These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. ”

  • A man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
  • Your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
  • A man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.
  • Knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment  and bondage – Luke 11:52.
  • The grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.
  • When you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.
  • People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15.
  • Age is not equal to knowledge, and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.
  • If your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.
  • When you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.
  • Whatever you have no value for, you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.
  • Studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.
  • The only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.
  • When you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:8.
  • Those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.
  • Your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

    BE BLESSED!

 Triumphantly Reigning In Life

– Achievers Course of Dominion –

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)’’

Revelation 5:9-10 ‘’And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth’’

2 Corithians 2:14 ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place’’

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

February Edition

To some the year – 2009 – is still young and tender, while some on the other hand are waiting for some special news or announcement to be made by an accorded, business tycoon, political guru, financial and economic titan, a religious magician, an absolute leader – you name it – to enable them know how to pilot their life in the dawn year.

At the moment of drafting this – February edition – the ‘World Economic Forum’ – DAVOS 2009’ was having major economic plans to shape the world economy in Switzerland. Most nations in attendance will leave that convention with an economic ideology that will formulate their national economy which invariably will have an impact on all sundry nationwide and probably in a collective sense global-wise. Based on that, business entrepreneurs, career negotiators, financial institutions, political leaders, family institutions, ordinary individuals and others will begin to chart the pathway to their wellbeing in the year. Does that relate to you today! Have you thought, that you are about to step into another month without accounting for the month just ending. It’s for this cause, that the Achievers’ FAITH Digest is being made available for your enthronement.

Inspiration, Revelation & Empowerment

Romans 1:11 ‘’For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established’’

2 Chronicle 20:20 ‘’ . . . Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper’’

Hosea 12:13‘’And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved’’

Dearly beloved Achiever, I am constrained in my spirit by the reason of the grace given to me by the Lord in this edition to help awaken the consciousness of God that is already in you so that by it, you can triumphantly reign in life today. I mean the God kind of consciousness that was imparted into you spirit or subconscious-man in Faith by the reason of being born of God in Christ Jesus.

God’s intention through the ministry gifting of His called servant as indicated in the examples found in the Holy writ of Romans 1:11, 2 Chronicle 20:20 and Hosea 12:13; is that you might find reasons to live and enjoy the fullness of what Christ has done in you, for you and by identification with you.

I hereby proclaim that it’s high time God’s children woke up and fully arose to the God given mandate and consciousness for a daily inspiration, revelation and empowerment in order to triumphantly reign in life. This will enable us to deal with the daily affairs of life and also to become and achieve what you are born to be in Christ. I bare record that they are many believers in the kingdom today just going through life or merely existing that if what they holds as strength at the moment – Job, position, family, finance etc – are temporarily or permanently tempered with by any force of life, they crutch to the bottom with no inner grace to rise up again, that is if they will even remember again if there is a God in Zion.

For when you live in God’s consciousness you get inspirations, you receive revelations and empowerment to fulfil your God given duty in life as to – family, business, career, leadership and many others (name it). ‘’When you are inspired (by God’s consciousness), you will aspire and will not expire. When you live by revelation knowledge you will make wise decisions, not foolish or costly mistakes with unforgivable, unforgettable regrets. When you are empowered by impartation of God’s grace, you will make an impact in life and live a sweat-less and stress-less lifestyle’’.

Triumphant reigning in life is the consciousness of God’s grace upon our life as a result of inspiration, revelation and empowerment we daily receive in Christ to accomplish the plans, purpose of God we seek to pursue in our life.

Triumphant Reign – Everyone and In Every Place

2 Corinthians 2:14 ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place’’

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)’’

The Scriptural books of 2 Corinthians 2:14 and Romans 5:17 indicate that there is a place of triumph and a place to reign in life for every child of God irrespective of gender, race and generation. And this is a place all of us most come into: a place of full grace experience and God’s consciousness to enable us actualise our God given rights and privileges in the kingdom, as in the scriptures.

To triumph is a feeling, condition and state of great happiness as a result of being victorious, having a major achievement and success in an endeavour of life. While to Reign indicates to be and hold a position of sovereignty, dominate and being in control. The life of triumph and to reign is what Christ has done for us and in us that is why we don’t just come to give our life to Christ but to have Christ in our life. We lost our place of reign and triumphant in Adam but find it in Christ. It’s not a state of the mind but a true life reality for all God’s children born into the kingdom to fully actualise in them if they must live above the rudiments and detects of this worldly control system and lifestyle.

This is not an ‘if’ condition or a place to experience or enter when we get to heaven or in the next millennium, but a call for today, even now. We are called of God to reign in life on earth by Christ Jesus – every one that has received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness – Romans 5:17. The Church in the wilderness (Old Testament) led by Moses was a kingdom based on condition ‘if’ before they could reign as royals – Exodus 19:5-7. Unlike Moses kind of Church, the Church of the New Testament led by Christ is not with an ‘if’ condition, but based on the done work of Christ Jesus our Lord. We are made into it. We are engrafted into it as a result of being born of God – 1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:5-6; 5:9-10; 1 John 5:4-5. Yours is to claim it by faith, lay hold of it and live in the consciousness, that, it does not depend on your effort but on the done work of Christ in every place of life and for all things of life.

Kinds of Life – A choice to make

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)’’

Revelation 5:9-10 ‘’And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth’’

James 3:14-15 ‘’ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from ABOVE is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy’’

The scriptures in Romans 5:17 and Revelation 5:9-10 indicates that we have been made (not to be made) and empowered to reign in Life. What sort of life? Besides, is that true, real or one of those Bible statements of faith – one may ask? Whatever question it is, one thing is very sure and that is, life is real and real to all man born under the sun. God wants us to reign in life, but what kind of life and how can one reign in life with all the credit crunch and world economy meltdown, stale and pains in virtually all family under the sun you may ask. It all depends by what kind of life you are living by.

There are four major ‘Greek’ translated word for ‘Life’ I want us to consider three of them, probably that will help you weigh in your spirit man – subconscious person – what kind of life you’ve been living and how to consider what is expected of you to make you reign in life in all things and over all circumstances as an achiever in Christ Jesus. I know this by reason of grace in the Lord, will help you to tend towards God and will also enable and empower you to reign in life.

·Zoe (Grk) – The God kind of life

John 10:10 ‘’The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly’’

1 John 5:11-12 ‘’And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son; He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life’’

2 Corinthians 4:10-11 ‘’Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh‘’

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

The Zoe Life – God kind of life – speaks of the nature, life and person of God – eternal life. The kind of life that God offers, embedded in us through Christ Jesus when we are born into the kingdom which will invariably affect the way we speak, what we say, how we act and how we do things, view things and conclude on things. The way we make choices and decisions in life depend on this God given kind of life if we must actual reign in life. It is the life in the realm of the Spirit – empowered Spirit of God. This is the life that you receive – eternal life – when you get born of God, it is the consciousness of what you have received and have in Christ that set a new pedestal for your lifestyle in the kingdom. This life is base on inspiration, revelation and empowerment knowledge of God.

Psuche (Grk) – The Soulish (sense) Kind of life

Hebrews 5:14‘’But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil’’

Romans 12:1-2‘’I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God’’

Romans 8:5-9 ‘’For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his’’

The Psuche life – Soulish kind of life – is the life that is live within the five senses of man – Feeling or Touching, Taste, Hearing, Seeing and smelling. This is a kind of life based on sense knowledge which sometimes constrains us to a laboratory and scientific test and some gimmicks approval for it to be live by. This is the life that multitudes want to live on and still expect God to bless it. Hence the scriptures indicate how much we need to have our senses sensitizes by the word of God if we may find the chance of obtaining God’s will to enhance us reigning in life as in Romans12:1-2, Hebrews 5:14 and Romans 8:5-9.

The life of the senses is the life that is completely ruled by our emotions, circumstances and detects of our environment. Here carnality operates, we walk by sight as the Holy writ says and those in this realm can’t please God and can’t reign in life by God. Those who live by sense knowledge are people who live by the direction of their mind, their intellect, their emotion – the human or natural influence. God wants us to have a sanctified, transformed and renewed mind which permits His word to enable us to reign in life.

Bioe or Bios (Grk) – The Biological kind of life

Acts 17:22-29 ‘’Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device’’

James 3:15 ‘’But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from ABOVE is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy’’

The Bioe or Bios – Biological life – speaks of livelihood or manner of life or behaviour. There are lots of people today who by the way they live are more of just existing than having and enjoying a life at all. Their life can be equated to the life of plants, animals or other created creatures. The Bioe life is a life built on mere human existence with their sub consciousness and soul –mind, emotion etc – not being involved in making decisions in their day to day activities.

In this realm of biological kind of life, anything comes and anything goes with no value attached to it. It’s for this reason of a mere life as Bioe that makes people not to have instincts of God but seek other means of living life as in idolatry, magic, necromancy, etc since they can’t fathom God. In life, even in Church life also, people are being modelled on how to live, talk, behave, answer questions, make decisions without individual wills involvement. How can such a person reign in life? Know today that a mere ‘manner of life or behaviour of life’ doesn’t determine a man’s destiny but eternal life – God kind of life – in a person is what determines his destiny.

Redeemed – To Reign as Royal

Revelation 5:9-10 ’’And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth’’

Revelation 1:5-6‘’And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen’’

1 Peter 2:9-10’’ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy’’

Beloved Achiever, what we lost in Adam, Christ has restored back to us in redemption. The scriptures in Revelation 5:9-10, Revelation 1:5-6 and 1 Peter 2:9-10 like many others indicates absolutely that we have been redeemed and made to reign as royals. This is not an act of revolution, it’s not refurbishment or renewal; this is REDEMPTION act of God in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. A complete transformation or translation as a result of what God has done in Christ (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 3:13-14).

The born of God believer is redeemed to reign as royal; born into the kingdom of king-hood and priesthood, crowned with royalty mandate. God’s intention is for us to reign on earth. Kings reign in authority and dominion – not as overlord on people – but over life challenges, circumstances, principalities and powers and over the domains of satan and his cohorts that intend to resist the eternal plans and purposes of God for our wellbeing and comforts. Reigning to set the captives free and all those whose lives are oppressed and in bondage not only by demons but also in their minds – ruled and controlled against their will by their thought life.

This spirit of grace given to us to reign in life is not a wishful thinking or a mere ideology but a true reality of what God has promised and has done in Christ Jesus for us to celebrate and live on in this life. If you know this and live in them in the consciousness of God’s grace and the gift of righteousness, you will be able to reign over all things that have limited you and rob you of becoming what God has made you to be – REIGN IN LIFE AS ROYAL!

When kings reign, all things are brought under control and obedience to Christ (lots to write about on reigning as royal but time and space). Its time to arise and put an end to all the fear-alleluia, poverty-alleluia, sickness-alleluia, complain-alleluia etc which some may not be saying or confessing, but may be acting out knowingly or unknowingly, thereby affecting their life goals and pursuits. You are redeemed to reign in life as royal, know it today and start to live in it now – (Hebrews 3:15).

Empowered – To Reign in Life

Romans 5:17 ‘’For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)’’

2 Peter 1:1-4‘’ . . . to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust’.

John 1:12‘’But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name’’

Ephesians 1:19-22 ‘’And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all’’

The subhead scriptures above indicates that we have been empowered graciously to reign in life over all things, all flesh and circumstances that have limited us. Kingdom achievers’ are empowered by the grace of God to deal with life victoriously and triumphantly in every place – not only in some areas or places– of their life. It’s irrelevant what or how people feel or think about it, God’s word cannot be bound. It’s irrevocable and it’s authentic even as it is written in the Holy writ.

You are empowered, therefore arise, go to the mirror if you have one and speak into your being what God has made you to be and begin to reign with the God kind of life – Zoe. The scriptures indicate that we shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ – Rom. 5:17. It’s for you to take your place in Christ. It’s a choice; you are the one who determines the pace of your life and not God. You take your place and reign or merely talk it, assume it and not actualising it, letting the events of life take their course against you. This is what Adam did to let the devil take charge and we all have to pay the prize of one man not taking His place in God.

Romans 5:1-2, 17, 21 ‘’Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord’’

2 Corinthians 5:21 ‘’For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him’’

2 Corinthians 2:14 ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place’’

In these three scriptures above, we can deduce two principal empowerments bestowed upon all who have received – born into – Christ and Christ into them to make them reign in life:

  • ·Abundance of grace and
  • ·Gift of righteousness

These ingredients are already en-grafted and embedded into our life when we were born of God – received Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour. God extended His life – Zoe, eternal life, the unlimited life – to our limited life so that we can live and reign in life by Christ Jesus. We lost it in Eden, we can live on it today – It is a fully paid bill by our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. You can live guilty free and stand boldly before the lord without shame, inferiority complex or fear in your daily life schedule (Hebrew 4:14-6)

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

  • ·In genuine Love and Faith
  • ·In revelation knowledge, understanding and wisdom
  • ·In integrity and prudence
  • ·In righteousness, Holiness and sanctification
  • ·In Consecration and commitment
  • ·In giving and receiving
  • ·In Hope and assurance
  • ·In Patience and temperance
  • ·Over trials and temptations
  • ·Over sinful living and such-like
  • ·Over anger and bitterness
  • ·Over the detects of satan, demonic powers and principalities
  • ·Over unsanctified thoughts and imagination that works – in and through -our minds
  • ·. . . and in many other kingdom life demands

Finally – Reign as the son of Man, Jesus!

Acts 2:22‘’Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know’’

Hebrew 5:7-10 ’’Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek’’

Dearly Beloved Achiever, year 2009 is no longer a wish. It’s here already. God wants you to triumph and reign in life. The days of a mere wishful way of existence to deal with the affairs of life is over for all those who are born of God and want to let the word of God have a root in them. We live in challenging times and every child of God must as a matter of reality live by what they are made to be in order to authenticate their faith in God – made to be kings and priests.

You need to take your stand in Christ in that which affects and opposes your faith to enable you reign in life over that – business entrepreneurship, marital relationship, career instability, general life relationship, health, finance, just name it – that have limited you and questioned the integrity of your Faith in God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the days of his life in the flesh – son of man – reigned in life by the abundance of supply of the Father towards him even as we have received. He reigned and dominated principalities and powers, overcame temptations and trials etc. He had a choice to give in or be in charge and in control and He chose to reign that He might give us an assurance of hope and to let us know that it’s all possible again to reign in life on earth until He comes to have us home – in Heaven. For as a son of man He reigns:

  • *Over all flesh – John 17:1-2
  • *Over Temptations and trials – Matthew 4:1- 11; Luke 4:1-13; John 14:30
  • *Over all things – Philippians 2:21-22; John 14:30
  • *Over principalities and powers – Ephesians 1:20-22; John 14:30
  • *Over the detects of hell and death – Rev. 1:18-19; Heb. 2:14-15
  • *With all authority and powers – Matt. 28:18
  • *. . . And many over’s as in the Holy writ. (John 21:25; 2John 12; 3 John 13)

Let’s arise, put an end to living in our own strength and skills and on life that is based on our intellect. Let’s begin to live life to the full, taking charge and reigning in life as a triumphant, victorious and more than a conqueror people of God and not as cowards (not spoken but acted). Human life is limited, is more than a mere accumulation of wealth or being physically strong. You can’t measure God’s endowment with physical prosperity. Let’s begin to exercise ourselves unto a Zoe kind of life and we shall live well on this side of heaven and here after.

Luke 12:15 ‘’And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth’’

1 Timothy 4:7-8‘’But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come’’

I sincerely pray for you that in this month, God will awaken you by this FEBRUARY EDITION of the Achievers’ FAITH Digest so that you can begin to reign in life in full. Your prosperity is very certain and is today, this day; this month can be the beginning of the beginning. Desiring for you, God’s grace and abundant blessings in all you do, amen.

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

In His World For His Glory,

BE PREPARED – AS A HORSE FOR BATTLE

The Achievers’ Spirit of Triumph

Prov 21:31 ‘’ The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD’’

2 Sam 11:1-5 ‘’And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child’’.

Jeremiah 12:5 ‘’If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?’’

Shalom! I bring you kingdom greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. I pray that the grace, love, peace and mercy of our God be increased and multiplied to you, with all things under your feet as you take the first step in his first month of year 2009 – JANUARY!

I believe by now you may have received the 42nd Generation Foundation theme for the year – 2009 AFD Edition – which was meant to structure the foundation for the new year – to serve as footing – upon which our monthly Achievers’ Faith Digest (AFD) will be leaning towards.

January Edition

When I consider closely all that has happened in 2008 – to families whom I have had the privilege of hearing their cries and pains and the different news still going on in the media: I also see and hear some believers act and speak as a people without hope and God in this world. I am bound to trust God that this January 2009 AFD edition will bring about an awakening to each one of us into a place of triumph and desired dreams.

There Is – Battle in Life

2 Tim 4:7 ‘’I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:’’

1 Tim 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’’

1 Tim 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’’.

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’’

Battles speak of a fight, conflict and the struggle that we go through in our lifetime. The scripture of Proverbs 21:31 intimates us of battle in life even as other scriptures also referred to it as war, warfare and a fight in life.

I remember a prayer scenario in which a young man came to meet his Pastor for prayers in order to get rid of any problems then and in future. The Pastor with all sincerity asked him to kneel, laid his hand on him and prayed this prayer – Lord, since this young man cannot take any more problems, kill him and take him home early – hearing this, the young man stopped the Pastor. He learnt from here, that under the sun, battles, conflicts, struggles, challenges and fights – are real to life either directly or indirectly.

As an achiever you need not take things for granted as some may. A lot of Christians jump into the New Year with great excitements, but unarmed and unprepared and end up being casualties of any problems that come their way instead of being victors as in Christ Jesus.

2 Cor. 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’’

Eph. 6:11-12 ‘’Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places’’.

1 Peter 5:8-9 ‘’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’’

We are constantly engaged in life battles – they are real, be it natural or spiritual. We need to realise and acknowledge these realities. These are some of the factors that we can attribute to life battles:

· Bereavement

· Mental & psychological battles

· Emotional problems

· Spiritual battles

· Financial battles

· Health problems

· Social problems

· Peer pressure

· Marital/Relationship strife

· Business/ Career trials

· Wars (Family, Community, National)

· Insecurity

· Natural disasters

· . . . and many others.

Some of these battles come with no warning whatsoever and are in various sizes and phases.

The Horse – Prepared for Battle

Proverbs 21:31 ‘’The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD’’

Job 39:19 ‘’Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?’’

1 Corinthians 14:8 ‘’For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?’’

In scripture the horse is used as a symbol of fleshly strength and might in war as described in Job 39:19-25, Psalms 20:7, Psm 33:16-17 & Psm 147:10

The horse is a solid-hoofed domesticated mammal used for pulling carts for war and for pleasure riding and racing. The horse has to be prepared against the day of battle or for whatever purpose it may be for. In racing the horse is prepared through intense training – months before the race.

In the case of American Indians going to war – the soldier would knot up the horse’s tail to prevent the enemy from taking hold of it and using it to take him down. He would plait the mane to prevent his bow and arrow getting entangled during combat. For war – horses were prepared both for emergency and planned wars. Vet checks, appropriate food for strength, and all necessary training and exercise regimes were carried out. So not only was the horse prepared in order to have speed and strength for the battle but preventative measures were put in place to ensure that the enemy could not pick on its weak areas. The American Indians would also decorate the horse in order to identify with their own and these decorations would usually tell a story about who the Indian and his horse were and were capable of.

We Are – God’s Battle Axe (prophetic)

Jeremiah 51:21-23 ‘’Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers’’

Psalm 18:38-40 ‘’I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me’’.

Just as the horse was the vehicle in use for battle – in the same manner we are God’s vehicle to accomplish His purposes on earth. We serve a royal God and one of the great roles for kings is to ensure safety, security and prosperity for their subjects. We are a royal priesthood – 1 Peter 2:5, 9 – we have a responsibility to keep our place in God safe from the enemy.

We are God’s battle axe and weapons of war to bring about the change not only in our personal lives but in our community. If we cannot battle the ant around us how can we battle for others? I pray that you will be inspired and not expire. Inspiration as God’s battle axe will cause you to aspire to greater heights and fight through to achieve that which you desire. You can only possess what you are willing to pursue.

Jere. 12:5 ‘’If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?’’

When people come across trials – the tendency is to give up. (Luke 18:1) If you get weary on a foot battle, how will you contend with ‘horses’ in some pursuits of business and personal life? Achievers do not give in until victory comes. You are an achiever – do not give in.

The Battle – Is the Lord’s

Psm 24:8 ‘’Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle’’.

Psm 20:6-8 ‘’Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright’’.

Josh 5:13-15 ‘’And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain of the LORD’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so’’.

One basic thing should always be in the depth of our spirit – and that is to know that no amount of self made strength can get us truly out of these battles (Zech. 4:6). If we could, the credit crunch would have left only a few in the red. All are looking for a miracle to deliver them because their strength has come to an end. The good news is that the battle of life is the Lord’s. You need not fight in your own strength – hand it all over to God. This is what David did to triumph over Goliath. Commit that marital, business, career, financial battle to the Lord; He will definitely fix it for you. It doesn’t matter how small or how big it may appear or look, the Lord will fix it again and again.

1 Sam 17:47-49 ‘’And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands. AND IT CAME TO PASS, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth’’.

Prov 21:31 ‘’The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD’’.

You can triumph over that monster of health, finance, business and relationship breakdown. Don’t give up or own up to the enemy, just keep on keeping on until your miracle comes from the Lord. It’s only what the Lord does that last for ever to authenticate His handwork and His glory in His Church on earth – that includes you.

Dare Plan – Be Prepare for Life Battle

Prov. 16:1, 3, 7, 9 ’’The preparations of the heart belong to man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD . . . Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. A man’s heart plans his way: but the LORD directs his steps’’

Mark 1:35 ‘’And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed’’.

Josh. 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’’

I’ve called back again and again what you very well know. That conflicts are real, battles are real regardless of what people think or the angle from which you are looking. The book of Jeremiah 12:5 challenges us not to grow weary when life’s battles come for if we faint for men on foot how then can we compete with big time business magnets in our society. The Bible says that if we faint, our faith (strength) is small – Proverbs 24:10.

Life battles come to us in various forms, times and seasons, we must be alert or else we will be caught in the net – Eccl 9:11-12. Our arc enemy who is the architect of our battles goes to and fro seeking for whom he may devour and disrupt their God given dreams. While the battles belong to the Lord, you have also the responsible of planning and preparing ahead of all battles of life. Failing to Plan and prepare, is otherwise the act of planning and preparing to fail in life. GOD FORBIDS!

Learning the principles of life from our lord Jesus – I will give you just two principles – not limited however – that will enable you to crush your enemy and to achieve your desired goals for 2009 as you plan and prepare.

· Principle of Prayer and worship – Mark 1:35, Luke 18:1. Be alert in the spirit of prayers with God the Father. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the chief executive of God concerning all the happenings in the WORLD today, He will lead you through in all life battles with victory. You can’t afford to do life battles without the Holy Spirit in Prayers as an achiever in Christ Jesus our Lord– 1 Cor. 2:6-16.

· Principle of studying the Word and doing the Word of God, in order to receive revelation, inspiration and empowering to deal with the affairs of life at any level – Josh 1:8, Psm 1:1-3, 2 Tim 2:15, 2 Tim 3:14-17; James 1:22-25.

When you know the mind of God – you will by the word – and you saturate it with God’s grace in prayers, you will ever win these battles no matter what it takes and how long it takes. The scripture says that the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him – But we have the mind of Christ. Amen! 1Cor. 2:14-16.

Consequences – Being Ill-Prepared

2 Sam. 11:1-5 ‘’And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child’’

Psm. 78:9-11 ’’The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had showed them’’

Under the sun, the Battles of life most times comes our way with the intent to stop us from achieving God’s purposes in our life as we take our stand in Christ. Idleness and standstill position is one cunning and crafty way it comes and it does not only destroy an individual, it makes those around you suffer the same defeat when you yield to it – as failing in life battles always demands that.

The Scripture says it was the time when kings go to batter, but David decides not to go to war (Rev. 5:9-10; 1Pet. 2:5, 9). As a result of that idleness – the devil workshop they say – he fell into adultery that caused him confusion and family decadence for the rest of his family life. He began to make so many wrong judgements afterwards and his children went in the same lineage after him. That is the greatest strategy of life. To create a problem which posterity can’t fathom, but suffer same due to the error of another.

The children of Ephraim, who are meant to fight in the battle for God’s people, return without a shot from the battle field on the day of battle. What a great disappointment that an army fully armed and equipped returns without a shot in the midst of war. Israel was defeated that day. That is the kind of pain and disappointment that you get when those much trusted disappoint. And you see it in all areas of life – Marriage, business, career, parenthood, education, name it etc.

When people are self centred, they will never do anything for you on the day of your battle – these are vision and mission killers – they destroy faithful trust and the confidence of others for their selfish reasons.

This is why you should prepare, live ready and lean on God and not the kind of men with Ephraim’s and David’s spirit and attitude – on the day of battle.

Finally – The Winning Spirit

Isaiah 28:5-6 ‘’In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate’’.

2Corinthian 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’’

1Corinthian 14:8 ‘’For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?’’

The trumpet is sounded; the battle stage of life is set for 2009. The prepared horse has a winning spirit. When the trumpet is sounded for battle, all that the prepared horse has in mind is to win every battle no matter what it takes. Know for certain as in the scriptures that you are God’s battle axe and weapon of war to create and give hope to this generation – Jeremiah 51:20-24.

Beloved, as an achiever of God with a desired mandate, my prayer for you and all involved with my commission is to see each one triumph in this God intended mission to raise an amazing and majestic generation. God is raising a generation of hope, passionate with love, driven by faith in all life battles and with a mindset to be victorious and triumphant in life – year 2009 inclusive.

I challenge you in this year 2009 to take on again that business, career, marriage, parenthood, education and that seemingly impossible project you desire and pursue it with a winning spirit. So were you born of God to win in life in Christ Jesus, any day, anytime and anyhow – 2Cor. 2:14.

Therefore, go forth in year 2009, month by month, week by week and day by day winning the battle of life. I perceive in my spirit that this year 2009 that there is a reality of life for you to be a true STRANGER to defeat and failure. This is imminent and very possible indeed. See it and live for the greatest!

Be awake, alert and ready before the day battle begins. So, I pray by the grace of God that you will see your DAY even before its dawn, for so is the achiever mindset to life, even as our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen! – Mark 1:35.

DARE BE PREPARED . . . WINNING IN LIFE TRIUMPHANTLY

In His World For His Glory,

YEAR 2009 AFD EDITION

By Leave a Comment

The Crowning of Diligent Service

Serving the Lord . . . Enjoying His Goodness

Psalms 65:11 “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness”.

Prov 22:29 “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men”.

Job 36:11 “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasure”.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hosanna! Hosanna!! It’s the dawn of a brand new year 2009. Shalom & kingdom greetings! Grace, love and mercy be to you in the triumphant, precious and redeeming name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.

I can only thank God for you and many others who have been recipients and a part of the grace given to me in this kingdom assignment. Much more, thanks to God for the grace that has enabled us into this precious year 2009 after all the battles of 2008.

YEAR 2009

To some it’s normal to see 2009 dawn before them – but for those with knowledge, it’s by the grace of God. When you consider all the pains, trials and turbulent life experiences that have taken hold of our world – economic crunch and meltdown, business closures, job losses, marital and relationship breakdown, natural disasters, domestic and regional unrest, various sicknesses and disease epidemics, political instability and many others. There is a great need to thank God continuously for you being alive to make amends for a better tomorrow.

Prophetic Declaration

Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising”.

Isaiah 60:19-20 “The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended”.

2 Peter 1:19 “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts:”

Matt 2:1-2 “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship him”.

When you skip through the various channels on TV, radio stations, go through the World Wide Web – all the news, discussions, debates, comments that you hear are opinions on the way the world and national economy and politics will go. Some negative, some with both negative and positive connotations.

In life people tend to lean towards these debates and declarations of their leaders in government, business and financial statements of fact, while others might lean towards the dictates of family circumstances, natural laws and dictates of colleagues.

Beloved, hear the Word of the Lord. There may be ‘facts’ to prove how our circumstances will turn out – the good Lord wants you to ARISE and SHINE for your light is come to shine in the midst of the darkness that has befallen the world.

The word of the Lord came to me saying – “Say to my people, as the wise men saw the star of Christ to guard and guide them, so shall my people be led to their place of salvation. That as every star shines, so shall every one of my people shine in the midst of the confusion in this world. For the light is superior to darkness, so shall they reign supreme for the daystar is come in their hearts to cause them to shine and glory in the Lord – ARISE, SHINE and walk in the path of my star, to lighten you up as a star.”

Beloved, your response by faith to the negatives and facts you see and hear determines how much of God’s word you will walk in and how the Lord can crown the year for your goodness as you SERVE Him in spirit and in truth. Triumph and victory is available to you if you incline your ear to the saying of the Lord for the year 2009. Crowning the New Year with goodness is God’s plan, therefore ARISE and SHINE.

2009 – Manifestation of Spiritual Gifts & Fruit

I Cor 12:4–11 “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will”.

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”.

The figure nine ‘9’ signifies completeness, perfection, maturity and wholeness. There are also nine ‘9’ gifts of the Spirit and nine ‘9′ fruit of the Spirit.

The spiritual gifts are to enhance the ministerial gifts – offices – in the body ministry and all that pertains to life. The spiritual fruit is to produce the Christian faith character that we have of our God. I can perceive of God that as many who diligently covet after these spiritual provisions of God will definitely have them to enhance them in all aspects of life and godliness.

This is the year for a complete and perfect time for you to ask God to endow you with spiritual gifting to enhance the walk of life in your hand and the spiritual fruit to enhance a befitting Christ-like character in every area of our life. You cannot afford to do without them if you must make the mark of crowning a fruitful year and serve God uprightly in obedience.

Inclining to God’s Sayings

The Word of God

The Word of God

Prov 4:18-22 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 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”.

Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”.

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”.

Beloved, year 2009 is a year of great possibilities for God’s people in spite of what news you hear, see and feel. The scriptures above indicate one prominent statement of faith – Our God is faithful consistently consistent towards His thoughts and plans about us. He is a God who will keep to His sayings even in the midst of life’s mess-ups – if only you will incline your ears and attend to God’s sayings and keep them in the frontlets of your eyes.

The scriptures simply indicate that:

  • God’s thoughts and plans toward us are good.
  • God’s thoughts and plans toward you are not evil.
  • God’s plans for you are peaceful.
  • God has hope and a beautiful future and final outcome for you.
  • . . . & many more.

Inclining to the sayings of God is what will take you to your promised blessings in 2009. This is a choice that you have to make lest you walk like mere men and not as God’s chosen child designed for victory and triumph.

Walking in Diligence – Year 2009

Proverbs 12:11

Proverbs 12:11

Prov 22:28 – 29 ″Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men”.

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

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

Heb 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”.

As I look back in my years of serving the Lord and look at the present in the course of seeing the heart of God by the knowledge and understanding that He has given me thus far, I have come to realise why many great prophesies given to men as individuals, local churches or ministries stay stalled or appear unfulfilled. Its is because some people just receive the prophetic declaration on new years eve as well as in the beginning of the year and yet not walk diligently in the fulfilment of the words of grace in their life. There is an ancient landmark in the scripture that makes the diligent stand before kings not mere men and that makes God rewards those who diligently seek Him.

In 2009, colourful living is not for those who are lazy to walk in God’s prophetic statement of faith. Crown success is not for the idle minded but for the diligent.

Diligence – a consistent steady effort or hard work – is for those who want to reign in life and be crowned as kings in their doings.

Rev 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”.

Being a child of God demands for the pressing if we must make progress, for great and established achievement is recorded on diligent pursuits. He that tills his ground shall have plenty of bread. (Prov.12:11; 28:19). Diligence involves investing your abilities, strength and all that you have into the pursuit of your life vision and mission for 2009 in order to earn the desired crown year.

God will only prosper the callings – mission – in your life by prospering your efforts, your investments toward your goals through diligence (Heb 11:6). Run away from idleness and idle people, because idleness is a career and carrier of POVERTY – spiritual, physical, financial etc – and it has no remedy.

Therefore invest in labour – tilling your land – and reap the great harvest of 2009. For your part in 2009 is the task of planting and watering, God’s task is to bring about the increase and overflow. (1Corinth 3:6-7; Phil 3:14; 1 Cor 9:24; Psm 1:1-3). Be diligent in prayers, in studying – not just reading – the scriptures, in fellowship, in business and in all aspects of doing life to enable you know how to observe God’s inspiration and revelation for your breakthroughs. (Joshua 1:8)

Obedience in Service

Job 30:11 – 12 “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure”

Ex 23:25-27 “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. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee”.

Isaiah 1:19 “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:”

Josh. 15:24:15-17 ” . . . Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . But as for me and my house we will serve the Lord . . . ”

The things that have happened to our world economy and political instabilities is far beyond the thought that its the fault of the United States of America or any other nation that may have been attributed with the evils and problems today – be it domestic or otherwise.

These happenings are a process through which God wants His Church to ARISE and take their place in SERVICE through obedience to bring about His purposes to the world in His Church.

Eph 3:10-11 ”To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:”

The scriptures on obedience indicate that if we obey and serve Him:

  • We will spend our days in prosperity.
  • We will spend our years in pleasure.
  • We will eat the good of the land.
  • We will not be barren in the land, in our body & in our business.
  • We will be in good health and strength.
  • We will not have miscarriages in body, vision, ministry, marriages, business etc.
  • We will be free from the evil that is in the world
  • . . . and many more. (See 2Peter 1:1-13; John 15:1-8)

Beloved, these are the days when our Christian faith is challenged by what is happening in our world on a daily basis.

It is only by engaging in serving the Lord through absolute obedience that we can bring about a true and lasting change in our lives and society in such a time as this. Serving the Lord in obedience includes – but is not limited to – the following:

  • Time availability
  • Financial ability
  • Physical and mental abilities.
  • Spiritual and ministerial abilities
  • Services in various opportunities of a local church.
  • Reaching the poor and needy.
  • Giving to missionary causes
  • . . . and many more

Serving the Lord in obedience can only be achieved through the heart of love in spirit and in truth. You cannot serve the Lord effectively without a genuine act of love in our hearts and lives. In 1st Corinthians 12, we are told of spiritual gifts but to effectively function with them as in 1st Corinthians 14, there is an injunction in chapter 13 to express an excellent spirit of love. Love is the only principle that can cause a genuine service of obedience to bring about God’s blessings in our lives. (Mark 12:29-31; Gal 5:6, 13; 1 Tim. 1:5)

Finally: Crowning Year 2009

Psalm 65:11 (1-13) ‘’Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness’’.

Serving the Lord, diligent walk and walking in obedience to the Word of God are the keys to enjoying His goodness.

Crown Your Year

Crown Your Year

One thing that God has assured me in the spirit and in the Word is to crown the year with His goodness and this is why Christ came, to give you a good, beautiful and colourful life. (John 10:10, 3 John 2)

God is not a man that He should lie. He will bless you and make His part of the deal come to pass. I am assured of God’s ability to turn your darkness and setbacks of 2008 into a blossoming glory in 2009.

I therefore welcome you by the grace of God into year 2009 of the 42nd Generation Foundation mandate. I pray by the anointing vested in us by the reason of this commission that you will do well, prosper and enjoy the fullness of God as He crowns you with His goodness.

‘’The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you Peace’’ Numbers 6:24-26

HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR 2009!

Dare to Walk in Diligence . . . Obediently Serve in Love . . . Be Crowned with His Goodness.

In His World For His Glory

This Christmas!

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

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

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

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

Christmas 2008 Edition

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

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

The Christ – Humanity

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

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

1 John 5:7-12 ‘’ For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life’’

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

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

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

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

Celebrating – The Birth Of Christ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Cause of Christ’s Birth

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Commemorating Love

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

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

1 John 4:7-11 ‘’Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another’’

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

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

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

Finally: The Mass – The Benediction

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

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

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

He is now the:

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

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

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

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

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

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

In His World For His Glory,

Kingdom Achievers’

Achievers in the kingdom are not just men who are smart but men who are walking in divine plan. For God will only commend what He commands. It’s all about Him working in us, through us, with us and for us.

1Corinthian 15:10 ”But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace towards me was not in vain; but I labour more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me”

Triumphing By The Rod, Celebrating Christ

-Achievers Weapon of Significance-

 

Exodus 4:1-17 ‘’. . . And the LORD said unto him (Moses), What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod . . . And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs’’.

2 Corinthians 2:14 ‘’Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place’’

December 2008

I earnestly welcome you in the name of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ with His grace, peace, love and mercy into this commemoration and celebration month of Triumphing by the rod – DECEMBER! The month for the commemoration & celebration of the birth of our TRIUMPH in Christ Jesus from the dominion and oppression of satan and his cohorts. It’s worth commemorating and celebrating; and please do enjoy it with all your being.

Our Place

Jeremiah 17:12‘’A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary’’

Acts 1:1-3‘’ The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God’’

 The text of Jeremiah 17:12 reminds us of our first place in creation. A glorious and awesome high throne from the beginning was the place of our sanctuary. We lost that achievement in Eden until our Lord Jesus Christ came – as we celebrate and commemorate Him this month.

The text of Acts 1:1-3 clearly says that when Christ came, He began to DO – achieve, restore, redeem, refresh, re-awaken, – and TEACH (show the way), for us to achieve and live triumphantly again. Life is in the doing and it’s time for us to arise in faith in order to achieve our desired goals and be a plus and not a minus to our generation. A mere celebration and commemoration is not enough to live and achieve triumphantly except we understand the place of the rod in the celebration to effect a positive change to our generation.

“The relevance of history can only be determined by the instructions we draw out from it to inform the decisions of the present and to fashion out new paths for our tomorrow”. Archbishop Margaret Benson-Idahosa (CGM – Nigeria)

“Yesterday was our teacher, today is our friend and tomorrow is our opportunity”. Dr Daisy Osborn (Osborn Foundation – USA)

Beloved Achiever, you are the reason the earth was created. You are the reason while the world is still preserved today. You are the reason the homeless and hopeless can find a home and hope, the failure can find success, the blind can still see, the lame can still walk, the deaf can still hear, the sinner can still find salvation, the un-churched and unloved can still find a church and love in the world today. You are the reason why mankind can still prosper wholly today. Your being born of God is to prove to satan and his cohorts that light is superior to darkness and that the government of this life is no longer in his hands according to the scriptures.

Psalm 24:1-2‘’A Psalm of David. 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’’

Luke 10:17-20 ‘’And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven’’

Matthew 16:18-19’’And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven’’

John 1:5 ‘’And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not’’

You are made for significance and wonders, that’s how you were and are born – fearfully and wonderfully (Psalm 139:14-18). You must take your stand and live life to its fullness.

The Rod – The Enemy (Pharaoh)

Exodus 4: 2, 17‘’And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod, And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs’’

Psalm 23:4‘’ 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’’

Exodus 15:9‘’The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them’’

I make bold to say that without the rod, an achiever is defenceless in any life endeavours. For the Rod is your weapon of instruction and defence in the face of pharaoh. And they are many pharaohs today than ever opposing us in achieving our God given goals and life pursuits – career, relationship, ministry, finances, marriage, entrepreneurship, etc.

The Rod is our God given weapon of stopping the pharaoh (satan and cohorts) activities in our way of progress and significant in life desired goals. The rod is our weapon of instruction in breaking the strongholds of the enemy, making rough places smooth, crooked road straight, exalting every valley and bringing every mountain and hill low to enact the purposes of God in our life, our generation and posterity. (Isaiah 40:3-5). The rod is our God given spiritual tool for our life goals warfare. (2Cor. 10:3-6 amplified)

In Exodus, Moses had a mandate to lead and set God’s people free out of Egypt by the privileges he has received of God, but there was an enemy – Pharaoh and his kingdom. And if Moses was to take them out of Egypt and into the promised blessings of God – a land that flowed with milk and honey, he needed help. Moses was a highly educated man in all the wisdom of doing life in Egypt – (Remember, civilisation they say began in Egypt) – that explains how highly skilled and enlightened Moses was.

Acts 7:22‘’And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds’’

In spite of all Moses’ expertise, intellectualism and exposure in Pharaohs house, he could not achieve his earnest dreams to set free his people from the hand of the enemy – Pharaoh. It must have been very worrying when all his education and the wisdom of Egypt could not deliver him nor his people.

In the same scenario we have seen today in our world our economy melt down in spite of all the 21st century high-tech and skilled economics, politicians, intellectuals, scientist, financiers, technocrats’ etc. The economy situation of the world has invariably affected families, career opportunities, business entrepreneurships, relationships, nations, dreams and aspirations and many others.

But in Exodus, God now asked Moses, what do you have in your hand, and he answered a rod. And God said to him, by THIS ROD you will DO (create, achieve, bring about) significance – hope, deliverance, healing, salvation, peace, comfort and your desire goals. Know full well that this rod has always been there, but never considered relevant because it’s not what is considered important in human endeavour, while in it was the answer for his questions and desired aspirations and dreams (1 Cor. 1:18-31).

People today are looking and waiting for signs and wonders to happen so that they can do what they need to do. That’s not how God works; instead God wants us not to wait for it but to use the rod to create, achieve and cause the significance and wonders we desire to come to be. You have to use the rod to stop the enemy and create the life and the world you need to enjoy.

The Rod – The Christ

Exodus 4:2, 17 “And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod, And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs”

Isaiah 11:1-2 “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD”

Matthew 1:1, 6, 16‘’ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . . And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah . . . And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ’’

Psalm 110:1-3 “A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth”

When God spoke to Moses in Exodus 4:2, 14 about the rod, it was literally a rod in human perspective. But in God’s own perspective, it was a shadow (concealed) for the reality and revelation that was to come. The scripture indicates in Isaiah 11:1-2, that the rod was Jesus who came out of the stem of Jesse through the lineage of David as assuredly recorded in the genealogy scripture of Matthew chapter one verses one to seventeen.

The scripture also makes bold to say in Psalm 110 that the rod is the strength of Zion (The Redeemed Church – Hebrews 12:22-24) and by the rod, the enemy powers are overturned, they are subdued and kept at bay so that we can go living triumphantly, victoriously and achieving our desired goals. Our Lord Christ, been the revealed rod in Moses hand, He can take you to a place of significance and awesome wonders: from poverty to prosperity, from obscurity to popularity, from who are you to how are you. This is the reason for the season celebration. No more room for poverty-luyah, afraid-luyah, fear-luyah etc., but HOSSANA HALLELUYAH in all life circumstances.

The Rod – The Christ – The Word

Exodus 4:2, 17‘’And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod, And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs’’

John 1:1-5, 14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

1 John 5:6-7 “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one”

From the context of the above scriptures you can clearly see that the rod though a concealed shadow in the hands of Moses for the Church in the wilderness became a revealed rod – Christ – for the redeemed Church. The concealed Rod became the revealed Christ which became -The Word. And this Word bears witness in the heavens for the saints with the Tri-une God. What a mystery, that a mere rod in one person’s hand is a living personality living in another person’s heart – You. What was ordinary became extraordinary in human nature to be born in the flesh.

And this season all over the world He is been celebrated and his birth is commemorated by all in different styles. Jesus Christ – in His humanity is the Word of God that is, has been and will ever be. Thanks to God that we have the Rod in our hands and hearts today –The Christ, The Word of God, The Bible – ‘’Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal’’.

By The Rod – Doing The Significant

Exodus 4:17‘’And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod, And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs’’

2 Cor. 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’’

For Moses to accomplish and achieve his dreams and aspirations to get Israel from the bondage of Egypt he needed to put the rod to use in order to silence Pharaoh and his cohorts (Exodus 14:5-22). In same like scenario, if we must be triumphant daily and in every place, we must not only know or have the rod but must put it in use. The rod is not for decoration, but to empower us to do significant achievements and goals in life that will enhance our present and give hope and aspirations to posterity. If all you can achieve is what is only common to all men for today, you will soon be out of date and irrelevant to the present and next generation. It’s all about DOING signs (being significant) with the rod.

Jesus Did

Acts 1:1 “The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach’’

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’’

Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, though he was God’s son, but as a man, he demonstrated being significant to make a difference in his days in the flesh. By him hope, faith, good will, peace and love find their place in human hearts today. No wonder He is been celebrated in the world this season in all human endeavours.

Apostles Did

Acts 5:12-15 “And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch. And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them”

The Apostles in the Bible days did significant things in their dispensation that marvelled their generation and posterity. They changed the course of life, giving substance to their world (Mark 16:16-20).

The Church –The believer (you) –Will & Can DO!

Mark 16:17-20 ‘’He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen’’

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

Philippians 4:13‘’I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me’’

If there is any time the world need significant intervention of God, it’s today and in this generation. The believer in Christ, that includes you, is equally mandated to do signs – significant achievements by the rod. The day and time has come and now is, when you have to arise, take the rod – God’s word – by faith and put an end to all manifestation of shame, embarrassment, reproach, failure, fear, setbacks, etc.; and work yourselves into a life of significance.

Every believer is in a platform of champions, winners, overcomers, more than conquerors, victors etc., no matter what state or season of life you are now. The Rod – the word of God – is the answer to end that opposition, bondage, harassment and setback placed by pharaoh and his cohorts in your life, which tends to cripple your aspirations and desired goals in life. God’s word is the talisman, the medicine to your mountains and valleys and circumstances affecting you at the moment. Obedience to the use of the Rod as Moses did will end the stand still and same circle pains; will turn your shame to fame, your disappointment to appointment, failure to success, hopelessness to hope, fear to faith and test and trials to testimony. You can be significant

Finally

Isaiah 8:18‘’Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion’’

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

The scriptures above are great prophesies which sum it up that all in Zion will together with the Lord live a triumphant life of significance in all areas of life – spiritually, mentally, socially, physically, financially etc. (Luke 2:52). Also that creation awaits all God’s children to demonstrate and manifest who they really are. Hence as you celebrate, commemorate the Lord Christ of Christmas, the reason for the season; it will be greatly significant if you go the extra more mile to make a difference from the usual routine. Its time to tap in and draw the triumph from Christ’s birth, get hooked on the rod to make and live an amazing, glorious, awesome and a significant life that no one has and will ever live because you are UNIQUE!

Soaring as an EAGLE

–The Springboard to Achieve set Goals-

Proverbs 30:18-19 ‘’There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’.

A soaring eagle

I sincerely welcome you in Jesus Name into another exciting and soaring God made month for your rejoicing – NOVEMBER! It’s my prayer and earnest desire that you will be excited to soar as an eagle over all things that have limited you; also, that you will eventually locate yourself in God’s plans to achieve your desired set goals – Amen! (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP)

We live in such a time in which we need to register our faith solely on Him that has made us and by him we have the breath of life – The Holy Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit can we deal with the affairs of life in achieving our desired goals.

Job 33:4 ‘’The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life’’.

Job 32:8 ‘’But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding’’.

The text of Proverbs 30:18-19 above speaks of three wonderful things, which the wise King Solomon earnestly declares one of them as – ‘The Way of an Eagle in the Air’. And if you can understand the ways of an eagle in the air in achieving your life goals and desires, then – Favour – will become your new name. May it be so right away in Jesus name, Amen.

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

Soar or Soaring

Our God intend all His children with an achievers mandate to soar if they must BECOME what they are born or made to be in Christ Jesus.

To soar or soaring is an act:

  • To rise or fly upwards into the air
  • To glide while maintaining altitude/height in the air
  • To rise or increase suddenly above the usual level

Our God does not want you to just live or rise in life, He wants you to triumphantly maintain that altitude or height of grace as it affects every single area of your wellbeing and faith in Him (1 Thessalonians 5:23). You are redeemed to be a SOARER in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Eagle and Eaglet

‘’Eagles are made, while eaglet are born’’. This is a wise and true faithful saying in life. The Eagle is a large keen-sighted bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long, large broad wings and a strong soaring flight. The eaglet, otherwise, is the young eagle.

The difference between the eagle and eaglet.

When you understand the biblical concept of becoming an eagle rather than an eaglet as I will layout in this edition, you will soar and by it end all those anxieties and worries that makes you think there is no tomorrow. Except you decide to still remain an eaglet who wants to enjoy the eagle lifestyle and don’t want to undergo God’s make-over that transform an eaglet to an eagle.

  • Jesus Christ our Example:

Isaiah 9:6 ‘’For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given . . .’’

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

The above prophetic scripture about our Lord Jesus Christ indicates the transformation and positioning of an eaglet to an eagle. As a child Jesus was born, but as a Son was given (made). When made, one is empowered to achieve, rule and reign in life. God could only give Jesus to save the world as a Son, not as a child. It took thirty years for Jesus to undergo an eaglet life make-over and translation for a three and half year eagle mandate. Hence He succeeded. And the scripture (Joshua 1:8) enjoins us to learn of Him if we must have good success and prosper as our Lord promises us and did – The eagle way!

  • The Redeemed in Christ

Galatians 4:1-7 ‘’Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differed nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ’’.

Man and child

From the epistle of Galatians above, it comes so glaring how God wants His children as Abraham seed and achievers to possess an eagle mandate than that of an eaglet. As a child (eaglet) – one is under tutorship or training, while as a Son (eagle) – one is made to bear rule, reign and take charge and control. (1 Pet. 2:2; Isaiah 28;9-12; Heb. 5:11-14). The danger of many Christian families, marriages, relationships, business, careers and Ministries is that lots of people want to enjoy the eagle lifestyle with eaglet mentality and behaviour to life issues. This has hindered the true joy reality of their Christian Faith. The world and creation awaits the manifestation and revealing of God’s sons and not mere children, by taking their place for the beauty of mankind. Will you arise and take your place as a son!

Romans 8:19 ’’For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation (revealing) of the sons of God’’.

1 Corinthians 13:11 ‘’When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man (son), I put away childish things’’

The Eagle Way

The eagle way is the believer’s path way to achieving their God given life goals. And when you do understand the know-how of mounting up with wings as the eagle, you can keep yourself afloat over all mountains and valleys of life. The reasons behind all this is because human ideals and philosophy will fail us as we’ve seen over the years and more recently in our world economic breakdown in spite of all our gigantic empire of great intellectuals, economics, scientist and technologists, politicians and financiers and many, many more. Let’s ponder and consider the scriptures below, in the light of the eagle way:

Deuteronomy 32:7-14 ‘’Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee . . . As an eagle stirred up her nest, fluttered over her young, speeded abroad her wings, takes them, beareth them on her wings: So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape‘’.

The scripture above compasses the very intent of God for His people. From nothing to splendid, that’s the way the first church in the wilderness was raised – to soar as an eagle – and to raise the eaglet to become an eagle. For as eagles they prospered, achieved their desired goals and God was in their midst.

They that wait upon the Lord, will renew their strength Isaiah 40:31 ‘’But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint’’

The above book of Isaiah enjoins us to the eagle ways in these dimensions

  • The Eagle waits upon the wind – Holy Spirit – before it makes any move, hence it renews – does not waste/burn out – strength (Psalm 103:5)
  • The Eagle does not flap wings – like other birds – but mounts up with wings and glide (Job 39:27) hence: It does not go weary and does not go fainting (give up or loose heart)

An achiever can’t act as a turkey or other birds that flap wings and want to enjoy the height of an eagle that mounts up with wings.

Job 9:25-26 ‘‘Now my days are swifter than a post . . . They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey’’.

The above scripture also indicates that eagles are not sluggish in life affairs. They are smart, quick, prompt, fast and maximize opportunity. They don’t take their time or timing to soar for granted. They act promptly at the move or movement of the wind.

Soaring as an Eagle: The Wind – The Spirit

Soaring as an eagle is only possible if you can recognise the movement of the wind – The Holy Spirit. This will emancipate and deliver one from all yokes and burdens affecting our drive to actualise our life desired goals.

John 3:8 ’’The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit’’

Unlike most birds, the eagle does not flap its wings but mount them up for flight in relation to the movement of the wind. It’s by this swift or prompt agility to get on the wind that takes the eagle to heights and places of life without exhaustion unlike most birds.

The scripture likens the wind to the Holy Spirit as a metaphor shown in John 3:8. And our ability to know and understand the move of the Holy Spirit in relation to our life goals makes all the difference in the kingdom.

Genesis 1:1-4 ‘’In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness’’.

When the Holy Spirit moves and hovers over the face of the waters on earth, God knowing the indication of that movement, began to speak forth, makes prophetic creative declarations. And that’s how creation was made upon the earth. In the same like manner, when an achiever comes to know and understand the move of the Holy Spirit, creativity and the pursuit to achieve life goals will begin to takes it direction. How I do pray that this inspiration and revelation and empowerment will find its place in your spirit today, in Jesus precious name, amen!

FINALLY!

There is more in store for you, same for every child of God than can be imagined and this is made possible by the Holy Spirit. When we mount up our spiritual wings for flight as the eagles on the move of the wind – Holy Spirit, we can soar as the eagle to height of greatness and the stars they say, will not just be our limit.

1 Corinthians 2:9-12 ‘’But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God’’.

I therefore challenge you today to make a new relationship and fellowship with the Holy Spirit that you might soar (glide) in life. You can then chart your life of creativity for the world you long and want to have and enjoy. I pray that you will give thoughtful consideration of your life to the Holy Spirit in order to end the struggles, exhaustion, weariness, anxieties and tiredness you’ve endured all these years. Be blessed and welcome to this exciting and soaring month of greatness – NOVEMBER!

 

Know the Wind . . . Dare to Soar . . . Achieve as an Eagle!
