I am grateful for the constructive suggestions and other useful contributions that have kept the Kingdom mandate steady, constant and consistent over the years. I’m most grateful to God for His bestowed grace and sustenance; and the great insight and foresight that He made available through the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the blessed Holy Spirit which I have received over the years.
For those who have sown seeds into this ministerial work – I would like to say, “Thank You”. I pray that you will know and understand this word of King David as in: 1 Samuel 30:24 “. . . but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike”. Your generosity means that we are able to share the blessings that accompany this work. I pray that God keep inspiring, revealing and empowering you all, and to quench your thirst and feed your hungry being with His truth and righteousness through this sound, undiluted, and unadulterated ‘AFD Monthly TEACHING Publication.
I would also like you to know, that by your continuous feedback and testimonies we are inspired to aspire, to fuel and keep the flames of the altar burning, while trusting God to bring the vision for the New Year and for January through this edition to you. The Lord cares about you and wants to mature, establish, strengthen and settle you for all your losses. You are here, right now in the year 2020 in spite of all.
1 Peter 5:7-11 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a -while, make you perfect, 3 stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Finally, my heart is inditing a greener 2020 with the spirit of Living the Greater Life. Through this edition, come with me to Bethel for an encounter by the WORD & PRAYER in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s a time to seek the Lord, wait on Him until we hear of and from Him and take on the year with a stronger spirit as we read in the Psalms:
Psalms 45:1-7 “My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows”.
Job 17:9 ”The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger”.
I am excited about God’s intentions as we finish the year stronger which is rejuvenating my heart with inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is being made available by the Holy Spirit into a stronger 2020 which we have themed: YEAR 2020 YEAR OF EXALTATION – LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE (EXALT2020).
A YEAR OF EXALTATION: LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE (EXALT2020)
The EXALTED LIFE is about LIVING and THRIVING in DOMINION and EXALTATION. It is made possible through THRIVING in the consciousness of God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. And the following is an insight and foresight highlight to this EXALTED LIFE realm:
** EXALT2020 will be a great year to stimulate faith, inspire godly living. It means that we are inspired to aspire in God’s image and will not expire or be burnt out – (Romans 6:14/Genesis 1:26-30).
** EXALT2020 will be a year crowned with God’s goodness and abundance as we believe, belong and become by the Word and prayer in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s our year of thriving with colourful living. You don’t need to fake till you become, just by being a doer of the Word, in prayer and in being led by the Spirit in every aspects of doing life, you become whom and what you believe – (Psalms 65:1113/Psalms 92:11-15/Genesis 26:1-6, 12-14).
** EXALT2020 is a year of living the greater life because greater is He that’s in you than the he that’s in the World – (1 John 4:4/John 14:15-17, 26).
** EXALT2020 is a year of living for a cause, that is, a purposeful life and not a wishy-washy, aimless and clueless and causeless life style – (1 John 3:8/John 18:37).
** EXALT2020 is a year of living for fulfilment and not an unending goals of achieving results without satisfaction and fulfilment – (Colossians 4:17).
** EXALT2020 is a year to maximise every opportunity within the God given time in order to earn fulfilling results. That includes understanding the time frame of grace and the wisdom to do life accordingly. (Ecclesiastes 9:11-12/1 Chronicles 12:32/ Ecclesiastes 8:5/Psalms 90:12).
** EXALT2020 is a year to maximise our God given resources which are – Time, Effort (Strength/Talent) And Finance (Monetary – cash/kind) – with possible attitudes for our altitude and aptitude – (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11; Haggai 2:8; Mark 12:30; Genesis 8:22; Proverbs 24:10).
PROPHETIC DECLARATION:
Philosophical opinions on economy, politics, climatic conditions and predictions are plastered all over the internet, TV channels and radio stations about the Decade/Year 2020. Some of the analyses are negative, while some with both negative and positive connotations, inconclusive or undecided conclusions and an undefined sense of understanding on what the future holds. Hence many making contingency plans to handle the unprecedented matters that may arise in 2020 as a response to strategic governance.
At this time of the year, different people choose different mediums to influence their decisions and resolutions for the coming year. Be it governments, spiritual leaders, family members and such likes. In all these, what it important to me for the believers is that the Scriptures encourage us as God’s people to attend to God’s word and to incline our ears to His sayings, because they are life and health, that is medicine – to our destiny, sustenance and ways of doing life as written in the scriptures of:
Proverbs 4:20-22; 5 “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 (medicine) to all their flesh” (Emphasis mine).
Beloved, it’s time to hear for yourself, that is, – attend, keep and incline – your ear to the Word of the Lord. There may be ‘facts’ to prove how our circumstances will turn out in 2020, but the good Lord wants you to ARISE and SHINE with the spirit of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE in the midst of the darkness that has befallen the world. The following scripture is God’s indicator of the light, to give you the leverage to live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in EXALT2020.
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”.
Psalm 36:9 “They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light”
Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”
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”.
For each day in the new year the Lord has intended for you to arise, shine, celebrate and be glad in it according to Proverbs 4:18; Isaiah 60:19-20; 2 Peter 1:19. So, enter the new year with gladness no matter how dark it may seem; or how much the enemy of our faith wants to remind you of the years past; simply because this is your year of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE. As the word of the Lord came to me saying in this wise statement:
“Say to my people, as they incline their ears to hear my sayings and attend to my Words, I will guide and guard them to their promised blessing through and through; and as by the Spirit of promise, so shall my people be led to their place of salvation, deliverance, favour and peace through the Word and prayer over poverty, sickness and spiritual death; such that they can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life. I have brought my people to the place of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE as they are called by my name and I am in their midst standing in righteousness. Let them know that as every star above in the sky shines, so shall every one of my people shine in the midst of the confusion in this world. Foreknowing that the light is superior to darkness, so shall they reign and rule, LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE. Then my people can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in my sovereignty and in the midst of darkness; for the daystar is come to dwell in our hearts and to cause us to shine and glory in all that pertains to doing life and godliness. Therefore, let my people ARISE, SHINE and walk in the path of the daystar who is the sure Word and through prayers and the leading of the Holy Spirit, to lighten them up as a star and reign and rule, LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE. For I the Lord am the fountain of life and in my light you will find life and the true light that will guide you to your destiny and places of rest”
Beloved, your response by the word of 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 2020 for you as you LIVE THE EXALTED LIFE for your goodness and abundance; and as you serve Him in spirit and in truth through His leading. Triumph, dominion and victory are available to you as you incline your ear to the saying of the Lord for Decade 2020S and Year 2020.
This is the year of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE, a year to live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life with amazing opportunities, possibilities and surprises as an achiever, while serving the Lord and enjoying His goodness and abundance – “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13.
