PRAYER: Your Covenant Right of Grace

July 30, 2009 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

Hebrews 4:14-16 ‘‘ Seeing, then, that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin. Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may OBTAIN mercy, and find GRACE to help in time of need”.

A man’s future can be noted by his routine activities in life (Luke 9:18, 28-29; Luke 6:12-13)– Just like Jesus, Abraham, the Apostles etc. You cannot be confused in a day you begin with God as Jesus did – A great while before DAY. DAWN DAY WILL GIVE YOU DONE DAY. God is under obligation to ensure that your dawn day is done, and you are victorious, triumphant and reign in Dominion etc. When you rise with the Sunrise, your light will shine through the day (Prov. 4:18/Malachi 4:2). We are born, sustain and live by prayer. Every answer to need came because there was a prayer destined to it. Prayer is the greatest privilege any man can have with God. Prayer is an executive communion with God. Hence the Apostles could say, we will give ourselves to prayer (Acts 6:4). Until you see prayer as a goodly pearl (precious stone) that demands your selling all, you cannot enjoy the fullness of God (Matt. 13:44-46). You cannot fail except you fail to pray, Prayer will unlock the heaven (Matt. 3:16-17/Luke 3:21-22). Watch and Pray so that you will never be a victim or a prey to the enemy. Your AUTHORITY in the kingdom is in your prayer – the level of flow you have is in your prayer life and fellowship with God (Psalm 16:11). Satan will not be your problem, when you except the challenge of prayer. Prayer will change you, it illuminates. It will transform the very nature and life style of you career, business, family etc. A man of ANSWER is a man of PRAYER. God ANSWERS PRAYERS – IT IS YOUR COVENANT RIGHT OF GRACE (Psalm 65:2)

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,

Triumphantly Reigning In Life

– Achievers Course of Dominion –

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

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

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

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

February Edition

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

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

Inspiration, Revelation & Empowerment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Triumphant Reign – Everyone and In Every Place

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

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

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

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

Kinds of Life – A choice to make

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

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

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

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

·Zoe (Grk) – The God kind of life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Redeemed – To Reign as Royal

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Empowered – To Reign in Life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

·Abundance of grace and

·Gift of righteousness

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

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

·In genuine Love and Faith

·In revelation knowledge, understanding and wisdom

·In integrity and prudence

·In righteousness, Holiness and sanctification

·In Consecration and commitment

·In giving and receiving

·In Hope and assurance

·In Patience and temperance

·Over trials and temptations

·Over sinful living and such-like

·Over anger and bitterness

·Over the detects of satan, demonic powers and principalities

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

·. . . and in many other kingdom life demands

Finally – Reign as the son of Man, Jesus!

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

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

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

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

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

*Over all flesh – John 17:1-2

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

*Over all things – Philippians 2:21-22; John 14:30

*Over principalities and powers – Ephesians 1:20-22; John 14:30

*Over the detects of hell and death – Rev. 1:18-19; Heb. 2:14-15

*With all authority and powers – Matt. 28:18

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

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

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

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

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

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

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”

(Bible Search: 2 Cor. 4:7; Phil, 1:6, Rom. 9:16; Ecc. 9:11-12; 2 Cor. 2:1-5; 3:9-23; Jere. 19:11)
