Shalom & Kingdom greetings! I gracefully welcome you into this month of SEPTEMBER 2014 in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour King, Jesus Christ. I pray that His grace, peace, love and mercy might be with you; and He might give you the leverage and synergy you need for this month, that is, to bring all things under your feet and control, effortless and stresslessness. Also, that you might lay hold to your redemptive rights, privileges and position in Christ Jesus that enables you to accomplished your divine given plans, purposes and pursuits. 

I welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this AFD SEPTEMBER 2014 EDITION, which is Entitled: FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT! “Charisma & Character In The Achiever”.

Charisma & Character in the achiever of God, is the focus of the Month. Ministerial charisma without corresponding character breeds arrogance, pride and possibly success in disguise; and ministerial character without charisma breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic and without inspiration, revelation and empowerment. And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of fruitfulness and maturity. Fruitfulness as a result of spiritual fruit and spiritual gift; and maturity as a result of the ministerial gift.

I pray God’s grace that’s made available to us by the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated but received to give one the enabling to be fruitful in character and matured in charisma.

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I am leaving you with the undermentioned scriptures to read, to give you a line of food for thought as a way to indicate how the theme of the month will be approach. I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on them in prayers (Acts 20:32).

Galatians 5:22-25 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. ²⁴ And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.“

John 15:1-8, 16 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. ³ Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 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. ⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. ⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples . . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. “

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. ⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ¹⁰ 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: ¹¹ but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.“

Ephesians 4:7-16 “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. ⁸ Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. ⁹ (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) ¹¹ And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹² for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: ¹³ till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: ¹⁴ that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; ¹⁵ but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: ¹⁶ from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.“

However, this month theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

I gladly welcome you, your friends and family to be with us in Fellowship and Worship. I promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God. I pray that God revitalize and rejuvenates you and all that is about you, so that you may become the very best of which God has created you to be in your daily journey of Destiny Molding, Life Transformation, Dignity Restoration and Kingdom Faith Establishment, Community Social Cohesion, Enrichment & Development, Success Empowerment & Fulfilling, Grace Impartation’s and more, while awaiting the Lord’s Return.
