JULY2017 – COMPLETE IN CHRIST!

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead” Colossians 2:6-12.

GREETINGS:

Shalom  & Kingdom Greetings! My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of this Month JULY in the LORD’S year 2017 as He crown your life with the year themed – POSSIBIBLITIES. This we’ve set to earnestly pray on your behalf through the year, in the precious, awesome and covenant name of our gracious, graceful and redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. We also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2017.

As Month July is  the seventh Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it’s considered as our month of ensuring the FULNESS, PERFECTION and COMPLETENESS of our covenant keeping God for our well being. The number SEVEN speaks as the day God rested after the last creation – man – was created amidst other creations. Therefore, in the line with the creator rest mandate above and in our REDEEMER, Saviour and Lord  Christ mandate for our REDEMPTION, this Month JULY 2017 EDITION of the AFD is themed: COMPLETE IN CHRIST! A month of “Experiencing The Fulness, Completeness & Wholeness – spirit, soul and body – In Christ”.

By this knowledge and understanding, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings, that the enabling grace of our God will be made available unto you and minister to your well being – spirit, soul and body – wholly, in Jesus precious Name, Amen as it’s written in – 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13 and Colossians 2:9-10. 

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.

Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified“.

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:

Colossians 2:1-23 “For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh” Colossians 2:1-23.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do“ Hebrews 4:13-14

“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 4-6

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 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. 20 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. 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 5:17-21.

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

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him” Ephesians 1:7-10.

“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; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. . . But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” 1 Peter 2:5, 9.

“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: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . .For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

However, this Month JULY 2017 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month 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 and Enrichment and Development, Success Empowerment & Fulfillment, Grace Impartation and more, while awaiting the Lord’s Return.

Until then, have a crown year 2017 of POSSIBILITIES “A year to “Thrive & Live With Purpose & Fulfilment”.

Tough Times Never Last

Tough Times Never Last: The Tough In Faith Will Keep On Keeping On, Even When All Things Come To A Halt!

Sometimes doing life and living good seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and the expected helps to ensure good decisions that one have to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand such circumstances.

However, no matter how unfair doing life may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, for tough times never last forever as one has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness to His promises. For every challenges has an appointed time, that is – an end game time and date to it, as the Holy Writ indicates that the expectations of the one who keeps to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off

“For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” Proverbs 23:8.

When you are assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work for your good, happiness and peace.

“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” Romans 8:28.

“. . . I have made you a father of many nations, before whom he believed, even God . . . Who (Abraham) against hope believed in hope, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being fully persuaded that, what He (God) had promised, He was able also to perform . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

LOVE AT ITS BEST

By Leave a Comment

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being showed with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good things or goodies while their short falls in real life failings are never mentioned or told them, which will rather help them amend, brase up, mature and grow; but not until they found themselves in the break points of life deceptions, because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life.

HEREIN ARE THREE OF LOTS IN LOVE TO GIVE THOUGHTS, In Order To Help A Friend, Spouse And Those You Love And Cares About:

*** LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ helps to SAVE! – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

*** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ helps to AMEND! – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

*** Love that ‘OVERLOOKS/MAKES UP’ and helps to DELIVER from further sins! – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall cover (overlook, makes up) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth (overlook) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

Worth Pondering – OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING

By Leave a Comment

Worth Pondering – OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING: For God’s LovedWorld – Is A Giving World!

God’s LovedWorld is an awesome world of LOVE – Don’t be Selfish about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish and greedy.

The LovedWorld of God, is made to be liveable, likeable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. Same are the humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and life in check. This cycle keeps life going everyday. It’s a GIVING world, hence it’s LovedWorld – Likeable, Liveable and Enjoyable!

God so love, He gave! Love gives. Where God’s love is, giving goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such likes and more to the needy one.

It’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers never goes down no matter what, this I know so well; and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35

“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it” Proverbs 11:24-26.

God’s LOVED World

By Leave a Comment

God’s LOVED World – The Antidote To The HATE World: Only POSSIBLE In God’s Love WORD!

In a world full of the undoing of others by some across the board: family, community, society and world; where hatred, evil and wickedness and perversions of all sorts exist; what human hearts need is a loving friend and friendship to avert such WICKEDNESS and EVIL.

IN GOD’S LOVED WORLD, WE RESPOND BY THE WORD. WE DON’T REACT BY OUR SENSES (FEEL, TASTE, SMELL, FEEL, SEE), OTHERWISE WE MAY END UP BEING HURT, HATE, BITTER, UNFORGIVING, DEPRESSED, PHOBIA AND SUCH LIKES.

God has promised to see you through in LOVE, in His LOVED WORLD from the present EVIL DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD as in the Holy Writ – The HOLY ‘BIBLE’ – Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal. And God has ensured and commended us to the Holy Spirit of love, to make it possible in 24/7, to love too in the face of adverse uncertainty.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

Jesus had made the act to love a command and not an advice. God will only commend what He commands, therefore let God’s love rule your day as you take on with people. It is in this act of living and walking in God’s love shall you be known as a Follower of Christ, not by religious gimmicks and oblations.

LET GOD’S LOVE RULE & REIGN IN & THROUGH YOU TO – OUR HATE & EVIL WORLD OF DARKNESS.

Every grace and blessings.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO YOU, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another. 35 By this all will know that you are MY DISCIPLES, if you have LOVE for one another” John 13:34-35.

“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” John 3:16

OCCUPY TILL I COME

OCCUPY TILL I COME: Earthly Useful And Heavenly Minded – LIVING & WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this we can Occupy In Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:

*1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.

*2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

*3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).

Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

GREETINGS:

Shalom  & Kingdom greetings in the precious and awesome name of our gracious, graceful and redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of this New month JUNE 2017 in the LORD’S Year 2017 as He crown your life and year with POSSIBIBLITIES. We also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2017.

As the sixth Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it could be considered as our month of REFLECTION, wherein SIX speaks as the day man was created and the number of days man was discharged to work in a week of seven days. By this knowledge and understanding, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings, by reflection and stock taking in order to OCCUPY TILL I COME – Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded, which is Christ Jesus mandate to us ALL; and as a results of God’s first mandate to man  in human creation, that the enabling grace of our God will be minister to your well being – spirit, soul and body – wholly, in Jesus precious Name, Amen (1 Thessalonians 5:23/Hebrews 4:12-13);  and even as it’s written in the Scriptures of Genesis 1:26-28 – “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth“.

Therefore, in the line with the creation mandate above, and now our REDEEMER Christ mandate, this Month JUNE of the AFD is themed: The month of OCCUPY TILL I COME! A month of “Being Earthy Useful While Heavenly Minded”.

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.

Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified“.

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:

Luke 19:11-27 “And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me“.

Psalms 24:1 “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein“

Psalms 8:4-8 “what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas“.

Isaiah 45:11-13 “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward,  saith the Lord of hosts“.

Psalms 115:16-18 “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord“.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 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. 20 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. 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“.

However, this Month JUNE 2017 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month 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 and Enrichment and Development, Success Empowerment & Fulfillment, Grace Impartation and more, while awaiting the Lord’s Return.

Until then, have a crown year 2017 of POSSIBILITIES “A year to “Thrive & Live With Purpose & Fulfilment”.

By this knowledge and understanding, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings, by reflection and stock taking in order to OCCUPY TILL I COME – Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded, which is Christ Jesus mandate to us ALL; and as a results of God’s first mandate to man  in human creation, that the enabling grace of our God will be minister to your well being – spirit, soul and body – wholly, in Jesus precious Name, Amen (1 Thessalonians 5:23/Hebrews 4:12-13);  and even as it’s written in the Scriptures of Genesis 1:26-28 – “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth“.

Therefore, in the line with the creation mandate above, and now our REDEEMER Christ mandate, this Month JUNE EDITION of the AFD is themed: The month of OCCUPY TILL I COME! A month of “Being Earthy Useful While Heavenly Minded”.

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.

Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified“.

Do You Wants To OCCUPY TILL I COME as Mandated of Christ Jesus? That Is:

– To Be Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded?

– To Be A More Than Conquerors?

– To Succeed, Triumph, Be Victorious & In Dominion?

– To Thrive & Be Colourful, Instead of Survive or Survival?

– And Much More?

Here Is The Wisdom For Today For The Quest Above!
A Colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, but it’s not a give away, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard and idlers; hence there’s the need to OCCUPY TILL I COME as mandated by Christ Jesus with your God’s given basic RESOURCE – Time, Effort & Finance; that is, if you earnestly wants to endorse your Plans, Purposes & Pursuits meaningfully.
The knowing that ‘You are of God’, “loved of God” makes you steadily and readily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, knowing the greater one lives in you also.
Therefore, it’s imperative to let your Time, Effort & Financial resources count and account for your good. For success is failure turn inside out, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilised one’s given resources: Time, Effort and Finance. This is also means you can become what you want to be if you walk in wisdom with your God given resource in your day to day plans, purposes and pursuits. It is on this platform that one can ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’ meaning being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded as scriptural mandated; and then become A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL wanting to go to heaven so quickly do to life challenges which some like to ascertain for self-pity and escape route, I guess.
I pray you Blessed! Be empowered to succeed, triumph, and be victorious and in dominion as you adhered to Christ Mandate to us – ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’, that is, being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded, awaiting His return. Amen!

In a nut shell, the theme EDITION could be characterised but not limited into this headings:

** You Are Called To ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’ – Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded! – Not Hurrying For An Escape From RESPONSIBILITY, Due To Trials, Circumstances And Such Likes.

“ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come . . .” Luke 19:11-27.

** You Are Created & Mandated To Be Fruitful, And Multiply, and Replenish the earth, and Subdue it: And Have dominion (Live & Reign In Dominion) – Hence, Don’t Be Mistaken!

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

** You Are Loved & Called to Live – A More Than CONQUERORS In REDEMPTION!

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” Romans 8:37

** You Are Called And Assured To Live In Redemption – VICTORIOUSLY!

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

** You Are Called & Cause To Live In TRIUMPH Always, Manifesting Christ’s Exquisite Fragrance In His KNOWLEDGE!

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

** Your Called & Redeemed To Live And Reign In Dominion Over Sin And It’s Effect – Poverty, Sickness And Spiritual Death!

“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:14.
