About the Week – today’s GUEST & FRIENDSHIP Sunday Message.

. . . Jesus is made unto us REDEMPTION – 1 Corinthians 1:30. But how many of redeemed children of God are enjoying the fullness of God’s word as expected in REDEMPTION. The just in Christ will by Knowledge recover, hence our victory depends on our knowledge of God’s Word concerning our Redemption. The acts wherein we are redeemed in our Redemption can be summed up in three words: POVERTY, SICKNESS & SPIRITUAL DEATH.

Under God, and with awesome privilege, I gladly welcome all BROWSERS into this JULY 2011 awesome MONTH of gracious Liberty themed – “REDEEMED Beyond Borders”!

The Wall of Partition is Broken:

Ephesians 2:14 – “14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation”

No Difference in Christ:

Galatians 3:26-29 – “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

You’re Redeemed from the Curse:

Galatians 3:13-14 – “13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”, 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Abraham – The Friend of God!

James2:23 – “23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.” (Isaiah 41:8; Genesis 15:6)

Christ Likeness – Our Basis of Friendship:

John 15:13-15 – “13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”

The 42nd GENERATION

The Raised Offspring of Christ Jesus

Matt. 1:1, 6-17 “The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . . 16 And Jacob BEGAT Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was BORN Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are FOURTEEN generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are FOURTEEN generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are FOURTEEN generations”.

1 Peter 2:5, 9 “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 . . . But ye are a chosen GENERATION, a royal priesthood, a holy (dedicated) nation, a peculiar (God’s own purchased, special) people; that you should show (set) forth the praises (wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections) of him who had called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”.

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”.

Greetings

Hallelujah! Hosanna!! Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. I pray and desire that at the conclusion of this revelatory message – The 42^nd GENERATION – “The Offspring of Christ Jesus” all things will be under your feet, you will be inspired and empowered to reign in life. That is, you would have positioned yourself in line with the spirit of the 42^nd generation, and to enlist your life into this amazing, awesome and majestic offspring of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

GENERATION – Defined

A GENERATION is defined in the dictionary in this wise:

All of the people born and living at about the same time – age – regarded collectively.
The average time or period in which children grow up and have children of their own – an average time between two generations of a species – usually reckoned about 35 years for humans.
A set of members of a family regarded as a single stage in decent – belonging to a specified generation or stage of development.
The propagation of living organisms, procreation – reproduction
The action of producing or generating – electricity.

In line with the dictionary definition of what a generation is all about, in same like the definition in Greek – ‘genea, ghenehah’ – implies age, nation, time, and offspring, stock. Simply put when the generation number 42 are added to the term Generation we get 42^nd GENERATION. This is the missing generation or unidentified, not fully known or understood yet the most awesome if known as will be disclosed in this revelatory message.

The 42^nd GENERATION – DEFINED

Matt. 1:1, 6-17 “The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . . And Jacob BEGAT Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was BORN Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are FOURTEEN generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are FOURTEEN generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are FOURTEEN generations”.

This 42^d GENERATION is summed up in this wise:

This is the generation born and generated in and of Christ that will not pass away until they see the fullness of the kingdom of God in glory and power.
This is the generation that will serve the Lord as their king and worship Him as their personal Saviour and Lord in the fellowship of His Church.
This is the generation that will proclaim, declare and demonstrate God’s eternal purpose on earth.
This is the generation born from God’s eternal love, full of God’s love, with hope and faith in God and in the vigour and splendour of God’s grace and glory.
This is the amazing, awesome and majestic generation raised and generated already in the stead of Christ Jesus our Lord.
This is the generation of wisdom, anointed and empowered by the blessed Holy Spirit.
This the redeemed generation, created, recreated and raised already as God’s anchor-leg in all His plan, purpose and pursuit for human redemption.
This is the generation that will bruise the head of satan and his cohorts through the manifold – multi sided – wisdom of God.
This is the assumed missing generation with the mystery of God’s redemptive goodnews in Matthew chapter one – the seed which is going to serve Jesus Christ and declare His generation on earth.
This is the chosen, holy, purchased, peculiar and specially set apart generation born with the REDEMPTION mandate, to display God’s wondrous and marvellous acts.
This is the generation of royalty – kings – and priests unto God.
This is the generation of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the embodiment of His shekinah glory, power, honour, blessing etc Amen.

In Matthew 1:1, we understand that the whole New Testament began with the word – GENERATION – in context: “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of . . . “

It is not a book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ though it indicates the genealogy that has been before Christ, it is of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ. It is all about what Jesus generated into the earth.

The 42^nd GENERATION – How it was Generated

Matthew 1:1-17 “The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . . And Jacob BEGAT Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was BORN Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are FOURTEEN generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are FOURTEEN generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are FOURTEEN generations“.

I encourage you to read over again and again the entire text scripture. You might have like some, wondered how Jesus could be acclaimed to have generated a generation when He never married, nor had offspring to enable him to bring forth a generation on His behalf as laminated in the Holy Writ declaration below.

Isaiah 53:8 “He was taken from prison and from judgment: AND WHO SHALL DECLARE HIS GENERATION? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken”.

The lamentation of Isaiah 53:8 as to ” . . . who shall declare his generation, is what considering and giving food for thought. Knowing full well there was no known lineage or offspring in the picture or in view. More importantly, especially when he was to be killed and cut off out of the land of the living, though is been stricken of the transgression of humanity by the Father God.

The scripture in Matthew 1:17 categorized all the generation until Christ into three groups:

Abraham to David – 14 generations
David to Babylon – 14 generations
Babylon to Christ – 14 generations

Until Christ was born, there were 41 generations. At Christ’s birth, then came the 42 generations. Where is the generation of Christ seeing that Matthew 1:16 only indicate 41 generations. More importantly, note the changed expression use in Matthew 1:16 with regards to the generated 41 generations. It is no longer the use “who begot“, as in expression from the previous verses of the scriptures but ” . . . the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus”. This indicating Jesus was not begotten of natural generation.

The 42^nd Generation – Where it was Generated

Matthew 1:1 “The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham“

The scripture of Matthew 1:1 began with the declaration – “The generation of Jesus Christ. . .” – not genealogy of Jesus Christ. The book of Matthew and the entire New Testament is about that GENERATION.

Isaiah 53:8, 10-11 “He was taken from prison and from judgment: AND WHO SHALL DECLARE HIS GENERATION? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he STRICKEN . . . Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an OFFERING for sin, he shall see HIS SEED, he shall PROLONG HIS DAYS, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities”.

The verse 10 indicates a profound statement – “He shall see his seed”. But from where will the seed come, knowing there was already a lamentation in verse 8 as regards to Christ been cut off from the land of the living and none to declare his generation.

Praise God – There is an answer! The same scripture in verse 10 made also a profound declaration of an answer that “when thou shall make His soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed and he shall prolong his days . . .”

1 Corinthian 2:7-8 “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory”.

Hebrew 9:28 “So Christ was once OFFERED to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation”.

Hebrew 10:10, 12, 14 “By the which will we are sanctified through the OFFERING of the body of Jesus Christ once for all . . . But this man, after he had OFFERED one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God . . . For by one OFFERING he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”.

The programme of God to bring forth the 42^nd GENERATION has been an unrevealed mystery of His kingdom ever since He spoke of the SEED of the woman in Genesis 3:15. The SEED of Jesus came forth actually when God made His soul an OFFERING for sin. Just as God performed the first surgical operation in that He opened up Adam’s side and brought forth Eve his wife in Genesis 2:21-23 to raise a generation, even so God caused the side of Jesus Christ to be opened as in John 19:34-37 and brought out a special and peculiar generation – the 42^nd GENERATION.

1 Peter 2:5, 9 “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 . . . 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”.

Genesis 2:21-23 “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he TOOK one of his ribs, and CLOSED up the FLESH instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a WOMAN (Eve), and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man”.

John 19:33-37 “But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear PIERCED HIS SIDE, and forthwith came there out BLOOD and WATER. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knows that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another Scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they PIERCED”.

This is the generation which shall serve Him. A people created and recreated, redeemed by the BLOOD. This is the generation which will love Him and adore him with great faith and hope. This is the generation that shall be His bride at His appearance. A generation REDEEMED from all kindred and tongue and people and nation.

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 KINGDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; And hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth”.

I John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin”.

42^nd Generation – The Grand finale Clue

Psalm 22:30-31 “A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this”.

Isaiah 53:8, 10-11 “He was taken from prison and from judgment: AND WHO SHALL DECLARE HIS GENERATION? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he STRICKEN . . . Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an OFFERING for sin, he shall see HIS SEED, he shall PROLONG HIS DAYS, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities”.

The scripture in context above has an amazing revelation to the reality of the emerged 42^nd Generation. It thus indicates this profound finale clue: A SEED – (singular) – shall serve Him. It shall be accounted to the Lord for A GENERATION. THEY – (plural) – shall come (that is to say this generation) and shall DECLARE his righteousness unto A PEOPLE that shall be BORN, that he hath done THIS. This is the SEED born from the offering of Christ Soul on the cross, where He was stricken and pierced on the side by the sword; nailed hands and feet, with crown of thorns on His head to release the eternal blood for human REDEMPTION. And by His blood there emerged the DECLARATION of the awaited GENERATION – The 42nd GENERATION.

Romans 5:17-21 “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.) Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord”.

The redemptive revelation and inspiration of Psalm 22:30 speaks of the Church of Christ (Singular) with many body members in particular (Plural).

1Corinthian 12:12-14 “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the BODY is not ONE MEMBER, but MANY”.

The last true and anchor-leg generation – is made of one blood, one Spirit and one family. It transcends race, culture, lingual, gender and denomination. No body can be part of this generation until he or she comes by the water and the blood. The blood gave birth to the 42^nd generation. The blood is the grand finale clue to raise the 42^nd generation.

1 John 5:4-8 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 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. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one”.

Ephesians 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace“.

Colossians 1:13-14 “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins”.

42^nd Generation – The Vitality

Galatians 6:14-15 “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE”.

2 Corinthians5:17-21 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 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”.

The 42^nd generation is the generation of Christ Jesus our personal Saviour and Lord. This is the generation that cut across race, gender, culture, denomination, creed etc. He tested death for all and paid the prize of Redemption for all mankind. The vitality of this generation is about being a new creation. Born of God’s Spirit, Born with hope, faith and genuine love. Born to reign in life, Born justified with no guilt, born to reign in righteousness. Born to triumph and win life battles and reign in dominion. Born without shame, fear and inferiority complex of any degree etc. This is the 42^nd generation, an awesome, amazing and majestic people.

I John 5:9-13 “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 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. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God”.

42^nd Generation – How To Become

Acts 20:21 “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”.

John 3:3,5 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”.

John 3:16-19 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”,

There is no hard and fast rule to become en-grafted into 42^nd GENERATION. It is an accomplished work of grace. It’s done and not to be done. The 42^nd GENERATION is already raised by the Father God in our Lord Jesus Christ.

It’s a matter of having faith (trust) on what the Father God has done in Christ – Christ offering Himself as the sacrificial lamb – to raise the offspring of the 42^nd GENERATION.

This requires from you an act of repentance – change of heart – towards God. This is done by your heart believing and mouth confessing of Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord unto your SALVATION.

Romans 10:6-13 “But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.

This en-grafting will insure and assure your wellbeing by the blood of Christ into the family of 42^nd GENERATION – New Creation in Christ Jesus unto our God. (I John 1:5-9; 2:1-2; Hebrews 9:20-21).

42^nd Generation – FINALLY

I Peter 1:3-5 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath BEGOTTEN us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that faded not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time”

1 John 5:18 “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is BEGOTTEN of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not”.

Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father”.

Galatians 4:5 “To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the ADOPTION of sons”

Ephesians 1:5 “Having predestinated us unto the ADOPTION of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will”

Dearly beloved, being a member of the body of Christ Jesus – the Church – indicates you have being begotten and adopted into the beloved family of God – The 42^nd Generation. For it does not yet appear what we shall be, but when He – Jesus – shall appear we shall be like Him. I earnestly do challenge you to search the scriptures to enable God by the Holy Spirit revealed to you the unsearchable riches of His glory for you in Christ Jesus, in whom we have our right of REDEMPTION to be partakers of His will in the family of – The 42^nd GENERATION.

Nevertheless & Never-the-less

Luke 5:1-11 ”And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, ²and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. ³And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. ⁴Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. ⁵And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. ⁶And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. ⁷And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. ⁸When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. ⁹For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: ¹⁰and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. ¹¹And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him”.

Greetings

I bring you kingdom greetings from God our Father, Lord Jesus Christ and blessed Holy Spirit, Amen. Also, I gladly welcome you into this refreshing session of the Pastor’s message. I pray that you will by God’s grace through this message find answers to your needs and receive the enabling power to keep all things under your feet and in your control and move forward according to God’s word.

Defining ‘Nevertheless’ and ‘Never-the-less’

The dictionary defines the word “Nevertheless“ as an adverb meaning “notwithstanding” or “in spite of” or “despite” anything to the contrary, which is usually preceding a concession; while “Never-the-less” is the inspiration and revelation given to my spirit along with the dictionary is God bringing you to a place in life where you will never be the less again in all that God has purposely planned for you in life and godliness to enjoy and share with others in spite of your messes and failures. And by the divine mandate upon me, I prophesy that you will never again be less than what God has planned for your life by the virtue of all Christ has done and what God is doing today and now by the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”

Jeremiah 29:11 “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out–plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for” (Message Bible)

Toiling Hard! – My Story

To toil is to work or labour hard, or to drudge or moil, more so, productive work, especially physical work done with the expectation of wages, profit or earnings. The book of Proverbs 13:15 and Proverbs 21:16 speaks of the reward of a good understanding which is – Favour – and the lack of it will result in – transgression – a hard and difficult result or life style.

Proverbs 13:15 “Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard (difficult)” (Emphasis Mine).

Proverbs 21:16 “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.”

As I refreshed my spirit in the course of getting this message right, I recall one of my experiences with God’s intervention in line with the main text of Luke 5:1-11.

I went to school to read Mechanical Engineering with all good intention as a Christian (already then) of having a viable job at the end that would give me a good earning career. And by that, I could be useful to myself, family, the Church and others. Going through the challenging process of school was real toiling for me then when I considered my family investment at that time along with academic challenges.

When I graduated, getting the right job became the ‘REAL TOILING‘ of my life – for someone else it may be easy – not me. I can recall the hundreds of job applications and tens of interviews that I attended while in some cases I was not even invited for any interview. Lots of travels from one end of the country to another, which was for me a great concern especially with money not coming in but expended, until one day, my story changed for ever.

As I pondered over my situation then, an inspiration, revelation that was empowering in Luke 5:1-11 dawned on me. Then and then, acting on The Word of God as revealed with inspiration lightened up and lifted my life with tremendous force. The rest is history.

Luke 5:1-11

Jesus found himself in an atmosphere where the multitude pressed about Him to hear the living word of God, not stories or unnecessary and unrelated jokes that could not enhance faith in God and towards God. Simon, who later was called Peter, became a disciple and an apostle of Christ was in that crowd and even offered His fishing boat to Jesus as a platform to preach to the multitudes.

How I pray that whatever at this moment you’ve given or have been giving to enhance and advance God’s kingdom work, for the hope of others may be rewarded in Jesus name, Amen.

Jesus spoke to Simon at the end of his preaching to ‘let (throw) down his net for a catch’. By this time, Simon could recall in his mind (battle ground) saying to Jesus ‘we (myself and mates) have toiled (worked hard) all night and caught nothing’.

Questions!

How hard and difficult have you toiled to get the desired result of a – good marital life; breakthroughs in that business; promotion and accomplishment in that career; peace of mind in that relationship; healing and restoration of good health to your body etc.

I stand bold to say I know what these are: The sleepless nights or nightmares, the shame, the embarrassment, the reproach, and the disappointment of not moving forward as desired, being looked down on by others because of your predicament. Do you know what; Jesus knows and feels it most. Don’t worry, there’s an answer and a miracle.

The Never-the-less Simon

Simon looked beyond his natural limitations and made a profound statement of FAITH having heard Jesus preach to the multitudes – I might have toiled and caught nothing ‘Nevertheless at your word I will let down the net’. In other words, I will act on your word in spite of my predicament to authenticate the purposes and will of God concerning my situation. This remarkable faith response of Simon brought about an outbreak of a great number of nets-breaking-fish.

He had more than he could ask by the simple obedience in acting on the word of God. The result was so overwhelming that he has to beckon on other fishermen to extend his breakthrough gesture against his failing natural timing and knowledge of fishing philosophy and experience.

Today, I challenge you to drop all these human philosophy and ideas that have programmed you to only toil, work so hard with no joy, no result, and much more no peace. I can hear in my spirit by the Holy Spirit that – the mismanaged marriage can be well again; also that business, career, relationship, finance, name it, can bring forth outstanding peace again.

Only if you can ‘Let down the net’ – meaning that failing philosophy and ideas – and act on the WORD of God again by faith. There you can find an answer, grace and blessings of God that will enable you never-to-be-less again to what God’s word declare you to have and be, amen.

The Never-the-less Woman

1 Timothy 2:14-15 “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety”.

The Bible speaks of our redemption in two parts:

Being redeemed from the curse of the fall and
Being redeemed from the curse of the Law

A believer’s ability to understand the above two parts of redemption will enhance their perpetual life battle victories no matter how many ‘Fights of Faith’ they are engaged in. The Devil and his cohorts will always be put under feet by all those who understand their total redemption package in Christ Jesus our Lord.

One of the most profound act of redemption from ‘the curse of the fall’ can be demonstrated when an act of faith is exhibited, as found in the above scripture of Timothy. The scripture crushes and end the spirit of fear that has intimidated women over the years in matters of child birth. It gives the victory over the pains of many couples and families in years. I pray you get it right into your Spirit, in Jesus name, Amen.

Hebrews 2:14-15 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”.

Luke 1:68, 74-75 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people . . . That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life”

It is true there is and was a curse over the woman in Eden due to the woman been deceived by the serpent – the devil – father of all evil. The scripture in the book of Timothy like in other places in scriptures endorse that the woman might have been cursed in Eden, NEVERTHELESS or NOTWITHSTANDING, she shall be SAVED in child bearing in Christ for these reasons:

She continues to live in Faith
She continues to live in Love
She continues to live in Humility and
She continues to live in Self Control

And in Christ Jesus by the help of the Holy Spirit living these above lifestyle is possible and through them you will never be the less again in child birth. I therefore speak grace against any fear in your life towards child bearing. You can live above the curse today and go enjoying the blessing that comes through Christ. Also, that conception you are afraid to undergo in your marriage, business, career, relationship can be possible again to bring forth the birth of your desired dreams of greatness.

FINALLY

This message is given by God’s inspiration that by it, your wasted years and years of toiling, hard and difficult times with no concrete result might come to an end and you can then live free – enjoying the blessings of Abraham’s seed. I pray that you act on God’s word and that the Lord cause you to break-out from all toiling lifestyle in Jesus name, Amen.

Dare To Act On The WORD . . . NET Breaking Blessings . . . Are Yours!

Identify With A Prophet

Matthew 8:5-13

“. . . The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed . . . And Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.”

I bring you this day kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. How I do pray that the message of today will make all things come under your feet according to God’s Word, in power, in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance. (1 Thess 1:5). If there is any time we need answers daily in our situations, I say it’s now.

A few years ago a struggling business man stopped me in the street, ‘Pastor’, he says, ‘My business is dying. My colleagues seem to get every contract that I apply for. I have discovered that some have the backing of lawyers, big time spiritualists, traditionalists and the like. Pastor, I am directed in my prayers to meet you that you may speak into my situation, to identify with you and your ministry.”

Before this time, God had been speaking to me on the above titled message. I could call to memory God saying to me, ‘Some life issues are not handled by prayer alone, but WORDS need to be spoken into some peoples situations if their change must come’.

In obedience to God, I spoke to this Christian Brother’s situation. Within that month he not only won a contract that was deemed beyond him but had the bank sponsor the multi-millionaire contract within a year. His life changed, he began to build his own house and sowed a good portion of his blessings into my ministry as God directed him.

In this generation, just like in the Old Testament days, in the days of Jesus and the Apostles, each of us in spite of our ability to pray over our own situation must see the need to identify with God’s servant. God’s servants carry a special grace and anointing in their lives to speak into our situation no matter how good or bad things are. Romans 1:11, Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 3:10

You need a voice and not an echo in times of crises and dilemmas. There are men and women called, anointed and set apart – with a divine message and assignment that God has strategically placed. In certain situations, at their voice, the heavens and earth respond to them. Matt 16:16-19, James 5:14-15. They have and carry the word of life and faith to deliver your miracle into your hands. John 1:6-13, 22-23, Acts 19:11-20

The Power of ‘Saying’
In the main text – Matt 8:5-13 – you can count about seven mentions of the word say, saith and/or saying. A Centurion army commander had a servant suffering from paralysis and was tormented. He came to Jesus and all he ever required was for Jesus to just SPEAK the WORD and his servant would be healed. You see, he understood the power of the spoken WORD. What trust and a challenge – because he counted Jesus a carrier of the grace of God and one whose words are honoured in the heavens and the earth.

Jesus actually said the Word – He did not pray the Word and the Centurion’s servant was healed immediately. God has appointed gifted men and women to SPEAK words of grace into your life and situations to make a lasting change. Only if you can believe and identify with them as carriers of God’s kingdom mandate.

Why Identify

God delivers and preserves life through them. Hosea 12:13, (e.g. Moses in Exodus 33:11,13-17) James 5:14-15

They are carriers of God’s secrets for your life. Amos 3:7; Deut 29:29; Psalms25:14

They enhance the prosperity of your God’s established blessings. 2 Chron 20:20; Romans 1:11; 3 John 2

God always confirms the word of His servant. Isaiah 44:24-26; Ephesians 4:7-16; Acts 27:25, (14-44)

The Works of the Prophets
The Prophet of the Old Testament foretell (just tell the events to come) but the Prophet of the New Testament forth tell (they minister unto edification, exhortation and comfort. 1 Corinth 14:3). Every one of us needs someone to speak forth words of edification, exhortation and comfort into their situation and life.

Finally, when you read 2 Kings 4:1-7 and verses 8-37, you will see prophetic words of grace changing the course of peoples lives. I challenge you to identify with a minister of the gospel wherein God’s purposes in your life can be enhanced. Stop being a spiritual harlot. Settle in a place of identification, then grace will come unto you. For Ministers are set in a local Church of worship to minister grace unto your wellbeing, hence respect the grace and celebrate the blessings – Ephesians 4:7-16.

Until I come your way again, I pray that you find your way in Christ, prosper and become a blessing. I pray that God revitalises and rejuvenates you and all that is about you, so that you may become the best of which God has created you to be: Destiny Moulding, Life Transformation, Dignity Restoration and Kingdom Faith Establishment and Community Social Enrichment and Development..

Every Blessing

In His World For His Glory,
