ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST – AFD MARCH 2021 EDITION: THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE!
THE EAGLE WAY: RENEWAL OF STRENGTH!
Don’t get burnt out before you evaluate your well-being in life and godly living. Do life in the EAGLE WAY for your good. Life is such a precious gift of God that’s given to us and we need not let a failing nature happen, before we see the need of refreshing, awakening and rejuvenating to your fulness, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.
You need to know full well that in Christ Jesus, that AGE is not a limitation plan, as the Eagle have proven over and over again; it’s simply for the fact, that the Eagle do not FLAP as chicken but MOUNT UP WINGS on the WIND; and as such, it doesn’t get BURNT OUT easily on its synergy; for the Eagle with its GLIDING on the Wind, will MOUNT UP WINGS from a position of REST than from a position of STRESS and ANXIETY which many have become accustomed, in order to indicate how much they are busy but in essence are actually getting BURNT OUT.
One good characteristics of the EAGLE WAY is that, when the Eagle is expected to deteriorate, retire and be weakened by virtue of age from being the king of the sky, it shed off its old and weak feathers, re-energies for the new and refreshes up by taking some time out to evaluate life span, thus enabling much more years added to rule in the sky. THIS IS THE EAGLE WAY!
When last did you take time out to do some evaluation, that is, do some check and balance with the Holy Spirit on the assignment you’ve committed into His hands – that had been given to you to accomplish. (By assignment I mean your MARRIAGE, FAMILY, CAREER, MINISTRY, LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION, RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS, POLITICS, CHARITABLE CAUSES and such like).
Know for sure that our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples took time out to rest, refresh, leisure, rejuvenate and to evaluate, that is, to do check and balance on the assignment at hand in humanity.
“And the APOSTLES GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER UNTO JESUS, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them, COME YE YOURSELVES APART INTO A DESERT PLACE, AND REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had NO LEISURE SO MUCH AS TO EAT. 32 and they departed into a desert place by ship privately” Mark 6: 30-32
It’s time you take a holiday to evaluate, refresh, renew, revitalize and rejuvenate your relationships with all you do in LIFE and GODLY LIVING as your assignment from God to humanity.

“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” John 3:8.
“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.
“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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” Isaiah 40:31.
“REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD, CONSIDER THE YEARS OF MANY GENERATIONS: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 AS AN EAGLE stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 SO THE LORD ALONE DID LEAD HIM, AND THERE WAS NO STRANGE GOD WITH HIM. 13 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; 14 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” Deuteronomy 32:7-14
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; SO THAT THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, AND HOW I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-7.
“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 9 But ye are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 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” 1 Peter 2:5-10.

GOD’S BATTLE AXE – YOU ARE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND EVERYWAY!
“Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise –
And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.
Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political groups/parties, Political and Military ruler’s and dictators, Kings and other Satanic evil and wicked Cohorts, have risen and fallen; and each have lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the GREATEST and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on TRIUMPHANTLY in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS.
“When He had DISARMED the RULERS and AUTHORITIES [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through THE CROSS” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.
“But THANKS be to God, who always LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and makes EVIDENT everywhere the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14/Amplified.
The Churches GLORIOUS and TRIUMPHANT march is simply because the Kingdom Cause [plan, purpose and pursuit] is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, the DOMINION over the forces of darkness known and yet to be known, assures and endures, and will assures and endures through ALL GENERATIONS.
“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.
“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and He is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominations/churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.
“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 . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.
For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to TRIUMPH over the ENEMY and COHORTS; and we are to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to COLOUR OUR WORLDS with the good and goodness of our God, until Christ Jesus returns, for the fulness of our God and well-being in us, in His stead.
FOR WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR – the Church of JESUS CHRIST – with the mandate to be TRIUMPHANT in DOMINION, in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY. AMEN.
THEREFORE,
CHURCH ARISE!
AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH!!
IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!!

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH – YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN: FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!
“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.
People are walking in errors, held captive and taken mistakenly in doing life and godly living because of not having a genuine KNOWLEDGE with the corresponding UNDERSTANDING of the contextual matter in questions about them and for those or things they care passionately about. That’s why living by SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION or PRESUMPTION is an error by every means of judgement in the affairs of DOING LIFE AND GODLY LIVING as a redeemed child of God.
It is “THE TRUTH”, only “THE TRUTH” not just ‘TRUTH’ or a mere ‘FACT or SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION’ or ‘PRESUMPTION’, that you KNOW, that sets you FREE in the Kingdom; and it’s THE TRUTH that gives you the Liberation and genuine Freedom that you need to become a VICTOR and not a VICTIM or PREY. The TRUTH, indicates a person, meaning a personality. Its presence in one’s life creates the being that sets free. And Jesus is the TRUTH and He is a person that can personify you in life and grace [John 8:30-32; John 14:6; John 1:14-17].
You need to know and understand full well that a mere FACT(S) can be photoshop or counterfeited, misconstrued and faked; and it’s also limited in authenticity in divine nature and conscripts to ascertain matters; but THE TRUTH will deal with ONE’S CONSCIOUSNESS no matter HOW or WHAT or WHERE or WHEN in one’s spirit being to unveil or uncover that which ONLY the invisible and the authenticate WORD of God can reveal by the Holy Spirit [Hebrews 4:12-13, 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].
The TRUTH is self-empowering. Bury the TRUTH, it will arise on the third day without any assistance to ANSWER any QUEST hidden, misconstrued, conspired or deleted.
Living continually by the TRUTH is made possible by the Holy Spirit of TRUTH. For the TRUTH is THE WORD who then is JESUS. He can’t live GENUINELY IN YOU and you still WALK in errors, deceit and compromise. And If you know you are in errors, deceit, compromise and such like, you NEED a wholesome check by God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit to set you free indeed. Then you CAN actually have a solid WORD-Based Foundation in Christ Jesus and continue STEADFASTLY on the WORD, which is the TRUTH to ensure your freedom and liberation in ALL things in the light of the Holy Writ.
It’s my utmost PRAYER today, that you might come to know THE TRUTH himself and obtain the liberation and freedom you need now and always in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my disciples INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:31-32.
“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, he will guide you into all TRUTH: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come” John 16:13.
“For THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE AND FULL OF POWER [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged [b]sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).

REV. CHUKIE MORSI
IT’S A DAWN YEAR – WITH A CHOICE TO MAKE: TO EITHER THRIVE IN GRACE AND FAITH OR TO LIVE AS A SURVIVAL – IN THE ESSENCE OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY!
“And if it seem EVIL unto you to SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord, CHOOSE you this day whom ye will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY]; whether the gods which your fathers SERVED that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for ME and MY HOUSE, we will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord” Joshua 24:15/Emphasis Mine.
Know for sure it’s a dawn year and the choices you make will make and define you. And you need to know that you are born of God to THRIVE in grace and faith in Christ Jesus; and you are not born of God to SURVIVE in doing life and living godly too. And you ARE, the determination and custodian of your happiness, peace and the atmosphere you want to see and experience, not some else, except you give them the permission to make your choices on your behalf – of which, it’s still your choice knowingly and or unknowingly.
I therefore make bold to say that no matter what your SITUATION and CIRCUMSTANCES in life is today, you are not BORN of God to be a SURVIVAL in Christ Jesus; but YOU are BORN of God to THRIVE – to be soaring and gliding in VICTORY, TRIUMPH, DOMINION, A MORE THAN CONQUEROR and OVERCOMER by THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus that is in you in Him [1 John 4:4-6; Philemon 1:6; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Exodus 15:1-2, 2021; 1 Corinthians 15:57].
And in all the year count and round endeavours, it’s your CHOICE to make – to determine to THRIVE or to SURVIVE; and it’s your TIME to step up in GRACE and FAITH to BECOME who you are in God in Christ Jesus stead [Philemon 1:6]; and it’s yours too, to take on WHATSOEVER, in order to BECOME what you are BORN of God and QUALIFIED of God in Christ Jesus stead to be [Mark 11:24], and as per this wise context:
* It’s your time to ARISE on the WIND – The Holy Spirit – to take to flight as the Eagle in turning your life around as God did at the beginning of time; this is when He step up to CREATE the atmosphere He wants to see, be satisfied and fulfilled, from the Earth that was FORMLESS and VOID to make it the World to be admired, colourful, beautiful and such like. [Genesis 1:1-2:1-25; Psalms 24:1; Acts 17:24-29].
* It’s time to SET your life to THRIVE, to have a colourful world, create the atmosphere you want to see, enjoy and to LIVE FULFILLED.
* It’s your YEAR of living in the POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – which is the greater, thriving, colourful, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life.
There are QUESTIONS to think through and ANSWER here – which are but not limited:
** Are you struggling to Pray?
** Are you struggling to Read and Study God’s WORD?
** Is your life being without form and void?
** Are you just SURVIVING instead of THRIVING in grace?
** What do you think is the reason for your stalemate and pain?
In answering the above-mentioned questions and such like that are known by you but are not written or mentioned here – you can then turn your limitations around by the enabling grace of God by FAITH, and by the infinite wisdom and power of our LIMITLESS GOD overall. [Romans 5:1-2; Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5].
I hereby announce to you that there’s HOPE in life today and the dawn year; and there’s a MIRACLE of change for you, but its your CHOICE to step up in FAITH in order to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in God’s way in Christ Jesus stead. I want you to know that when God SAW that the situation and circumstances about Him on earth was WITHOUT FORM and VOID, He determine to make the difference that suits His intent. That is, to CREATE the ATMOSPHERE He wants to see and enjoy and be fulfilled to behold. He didn’t sit back; this is what and how He did to make His desire become tangible and a reality:
* He did not choose to SURVIVE it or ADAPT to it or compromise with it.
* He took RECOGNITION of the presence of our HELPER, the creative Holy Spirit – [Genesis 1:2; Jude 1:20; Romans 8:26-27 (Amplified); John 4:20-24; (Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Philippians 3:3)].
* He chose to THRIVE, hence made a conscious, gracious, graceful and an intentional declaration to create the atmosphere He loves and wants to see irrespective of the STATEMENTS and SITUATIONS about Him. [Genesis 1:1-31; Luke 4:22; Hebrews 10:23; Revelation 12:11; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24; Romans 10:8-10].
* He spoke graciously and gracefully to CAUSE to BECOME what He wants and needed to BECOME, and it was good and very good indeed. [Genesis 1:1-31; Proverbs 12:14; 15:23; 18:20-21; 16:24; Romans 10:9-10; Hebrews 10:23; Like 4:22].
Today! When you chose to PRAY and make DECLARATION and ACT accordingly by FAITH on God’s word, by the LEADING of the Holy Spirit, your CHANGE will assuredly come in Jesus’ name. Amen. Then you take a stand to cease to SURVIVE and to LIVE above what your circumstances wants you to see; while you resolve and begin to LIVE and THRIVE by what you DESIRED of God to see by the eyes of THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE GREATER LIFE within you – [Mark 9:23; Matthew 19:26; 1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 10:8-13]. This is the how to ensure the start up to stop the life of STRUGGLING or SURVIVING through the PRAYER WALK of grace and faith; and to turn the FORMLESS and VOID circumstantial WORLDS into a THRIVING sphere that will be BLOSSOMING, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING.
DO CHOSE WISELY TO MAKE A NEW START TODAY – YOUR YEAR DEFINITION IS IN YOUR CHOICE.
I pray that by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS you will live and soar in POSSIBILITIES, DOMINION and EXALTATION as the Eagle with spirit of THE GREATER LIFE – THE PREVAILING WORD – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF FROM SIN [SINNING] ACT – IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT UNGODLINESS WITH GOD!
“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SIN NOT; for some have NOT the KNOWLEDGE of God: I speak this to your shame” 1 Corinthians 15:33-34.
“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation, But SIN is a REPROACH to ANY people.” Proverbs 14:34.
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I PERCEIVE that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.
Some people think that SIN is just a MISTAKE or an ERROR in cause of life doings. It is far more than that; and its presence in one’s life can hinder and obstruct the desired PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT that enables one to SOAR and GLIDE IN POSSIBILITIES.
KNOW THAT SIN IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT AN ACT OF UNGODLINESS WITH GOD; AND IT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD THAT EXALTS.
WHAT THEN IS SIN – IT IS SUM IN THESE THREE CATEGORIES AS:
** The human inherit nature, which is an enmity towards God and it’s naturally bore to all mankind as a result of the fall in ADAM and EVE of Genesis.
** An act of transgression (overstepping) of God’s law, which is – the violation of, want of obedience to, the revealed WILL of God to mankind.
** A state of Iniquity, Trespass, Lawlessness and or absence of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS as fulfilled in Christ Jesus in one’s life to live wholly within.
THE EFFECT OF SIN ARE:
*** POVERTY
*** SICKNESS and DISEASE
*** SPIRITUAL DEATH:
** And SPIRITUAL DEATH is the absence of God or rather the rejection of Christ Jesus – who is God’s REDEMPTION answer to human failing.
** And SPIRITUAL DEATH leads to PHYSICAL DEATH and finally, results to ETERNAL DEATH when one ends up eventually not Born of God in Christ Jesus.
However, by REDEMPTION – FAITH on the finished done work of Christ – has JUSTIFIED us and given us ACCESS to a stand in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, which enables one to escape from death to life. Wherein one can have ACCESS and live JUSTIFIED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Now in Christ Jesus, SIN and its EFFECT shall have NO MORE DOMINION over you as you SOAR & GLIDE in POSSIBILITIES – that is, over SIN.
“Therefore, being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
“. . . 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 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 5:15-21.
It’s while living under God’s RIGHTEOUS and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, that will enable you have dominion and leverage over SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The knowing and understanding that God LOVES and CARES about you makes a great difference. And when you live under God’s REVERENTIAL FEAR you will detest SIN and pursue RIGHTEOUSNESS. For the REVERENTIAL FEAR of God is the beginning of wisdom – the application of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.
“For if by one man’s offence 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.) . . . 21 that as SIN hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.
“For we KNOW him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:31-32.
If you must glory, only GLORY in Christ Jesus RIGHTEOUSNESS in you – that’s the CONSCIOUSNESS to live the POSSIBILITIES enabling of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.
“For WHATSOEVER is BORN of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? . . . 6 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. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that BEAR WITNESS IN EARTH, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one” 1 John 5:4-5, 6-8.

September2019 – LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: Living BLESSED – To Be A BLESSING!
To be BLESSED is to be empowered in God’s grace to SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, THRIVE, BECOME and MORE, in every venture and endeavour of LIFE and GODLINESS with FULFILMENT, through a gracious plan, purpose and pursuit.
Living The BLESSED Life:
** It is a DONE promised blessing of God in our redemption in Christ Jesus.
** It’s the blessing that’s free of fear, sorrow, pain, envy, jealousy and anguish, but always enriching, assuring and ensuring.
** God’s BLESSING is not a FEELING, it is in the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING – that’s the only way you can BE a BLESSING too.
** God’s BLESSING is not car, property, money, empire of business and more; but the enabling endowments of God that makes the things you need like – car, house, business, money, health, and more – come into reality effortless, gracefully and graciously.
** And God’s BLESSING keeps you in His Church or Presence and enables one to go from strenght unto strenght. Meaning, God’s BLESSING doesn’t take you away from His presence or His Church as we’ve seen many BACKSLIDE from FAITH for having some little tokens of money or car or property and more.
** I am Blessed – I know It!
** You are Blessed – I know It quite well too.
** Do you know that you are BLESSED? If yes, then stop running around as one without KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING.

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – AND TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYWAY!
“Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise –
And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.
“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satanic evil and wicked cohorts, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.
“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.
All simply because this Kingdom’s purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition, and difficulties in the pathway.
“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.
“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every place of living and doing life.
“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the DEMONS are SUBJECT to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan FALL from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN you AUTHORITY [that you now possess] to TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] OVER ALL the POWER of the ENEMY (Satan); and NOTHING will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your NAMES are RECORDED in heaven” Luke 10:17-20 Amplified.
For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmophere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being as Apostle Paul stated in the Holy writ of Ephesians 1:17-23.
WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR, the Church of JESUS CHRIST with the mandate to be triumphant in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY.
CHURCH ARISE – YOU ARE THE CHURCH!
IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!
AND AS THE CHURCH – YOU ARE TRIUMPHANT!!!
CONGRATULATIONS – BE BLESSED.
