WELCOME TO THE 11TH HOUR MONTH

WELCOME TO THE 11TH HOUR MONTH – THE MONTH NOVEMBER 2021: THE MONTH OF -DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING!

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK WORTHY OF THE VOCATION WHEREWITH YE ARE CALLED, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:1-3.

The month of DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING, thus indicate – the ESSENCE of Being FAITHFUL in All LABOUR of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in Christ Jesus Stead. For, the month NOVEMBER 2021 is set to examine the essence of “DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING” in Christ Jesus stead as we share in the inheritance availed to us by God in Him. The month of NOVEMBER is crucial as any other month in their dawn in the year, because it re-echoes and reminds me as others, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in these settings:

FIRSTLY, NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. It is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while In the southern half, it is the last month of spring.

SECONDLY, the month of NOVEMBER is one of the months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing of the year to usher in another year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of diligence and productivity toward having a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment, and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up to end strong and stronger,  and with outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousnesss, gracefulness and blessedness toward me, family, ministry and all I care about, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And THIRDLY, which is above all thus mentioned in setting, NOVEMBER being the ELEVEN month of the year engages me with the spirit of the ELEVEN PERSONS FOOTBALL TEAM that needs to work together in a common purpose and team spirit; this is, in order to achieve results together as a team rather than as an individual. The team spirit and togetherness, speaks of unity, one accord and one purpose and common focus. And it takes the sense of MATURITY to make such happens. And with such essence, been applied in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business entrepreneurship, governance, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like, we are as good in fulfilling purpose together meaningfully than as a lone person. For, it’s as we work as a team than as a lone individual, in a common and collective call, that matters in life and grace; this is the how to make us good in all goodness rather than playing the lone person dice.

**A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM**

Therefore, to PERFECTING – maturing and completing in fulness – as a Christian and the Church, God had set SOME and not just ONE  person’s MINISTERIAL GIFTS to LEAD in His Body Church, rather than ONE person’s trying to dominate in the Church;  and His SPIRITUAL GIFTS are severally GIVEN to all to profit withal;  and SPIRITUAL FRUIT of the Spirit are of several component within to make a wholesome character in all. All these mentioned in essence, may be found in the following Scriptures but not limited: Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12:7-31; Galatians 5:22-23; Romans 12:3-8.

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of – “DOING EXPLOITS WORTH REMEMBERING” in Christ Jesus stead; and may our God find a place in His heart to record your name and make a MEMORIAL of you in ALL LABOURS, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Therefore, as in Ecclesiastes 9:10, I pray that you will be able to maximise every single opportunity that comes your way to make an investment WORTH REMEMBERING as it’s written: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest”. It thus means that in ALL LABOURS of doing life and living godly, be it in regards to the expending of finance, talent, time, physique, ideals, and as such like, that you may be led by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God –  that you do it with all graces of FAITH within you in Christ Jesus stead. This NOVEMBER context theme, is the challenging opportunity to create a remarkable print in life, in God’s grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I do PRAY for you today, in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God grant you an abundant entrance of grace to LABOUR in His stead in Christ Jesus for His reward, that’s WORTH REMEMBERING, not only for this time but for the rest of the life in humanity, in the context of the scriptures of Hebrews 13:20-21 and Jude 1:24-25 and Romans 16:25-25 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. And may as you meditate upon them accordingly, may you experience God’s inspiring, revealing, and empowering grace and blessedness in Christ Jesus stead, now and always until He returns, in these SCRIPTURAL injunctions:

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25.

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen” Romans 16:25-25.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.

I pray you have an amazing, awesome, and majestic daily grace and provisions through this month of NOVEMBER, while working worthy in the vacation wherein you are called of God in Jesus precious name. Amen.
