Overcoming In Life By The GOSPEL

 – The Enabling Power to Achieve Life Goals –

Romans 1:16 ‘’For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the Power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek”.

Deut 8:18 “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day”.

In Jesus’ name I welcome you to this graceful month of October. I trust God that you will never have a cause to regret this month, because you will do the word of God. The desire to achieve purposeful goals lives in the heart of any diligent achiever (Prov 4:23, Prov 22:29, Hebrews 11:6). The present global economic crisis affects every intention of all today including God’s people. In human perspective, you will wonder if there is hope more so of pursuing visions & desired goals. Though many may want to give up or are already giving up, you don’t have to, because you are an achiever. Achievers are winners, and winners don’t give in or give up. They work through crisis, turn it into a crown, to make and established their covenant. For success to an achiever, is failure turn inside out.

The Lord has sent me through this month’s edition to announce that you can overcome. You are already by reasons of your redemption in Christ Jesus, triumphant, victorious and more than a conqueror in the plans & purposes of God. All God expects of you is to live daily celebrating His goodness in the midst of– not for – the present challenges in times like this.

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

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

Romans 8:35–39 “. . . Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us . . .”

The Gospel

Romans 1:16 indicates that the enabling power to achieve salvation comes from the gospel. Salvation is the embodiment of redemption – the saving of the soul, wholeness, deliverance, success, prosperity, healing, soundness, security & preservation.

When the achievers’ desired goals are to enhance or propagate the gospel, God will empower such desires irrespective of any economic, spiritual, demonic and physical opposition.

In Deut 8:18, we are admonished to know that we are covenant children & the intention of God is to establish His Word on, with and for His people. He does this by empowering them to get wealth. The word GET means to create or achieve wealth. Why wealth instead of ‘just enough’ till we get to heaven – but to authenticate God’s covenant and for what He is and for what Christ is done. A Lion does not give birth to an ant. God beget god (Gen. 3:6; Psalm 82:6, John 10:34-35). Setbacks & poverty should not rob us of who we are in Christ. If God intends for his people to achieve/create wealth it is because He has an intention – the gospel – that the salvation of mankind might be accomplished.

Isaac Famine Crunch

God never allowed economic crunch or famine to hinder Isaac’s desire plans in the Bible days to take His people further towards the promised land. Instead Isaac overcame in all his troubles and challenges as a carrier of the covenant as long as his focus was on God’s mandate – the Gospel.

Genesis 26:1-22 “And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham . . . Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. . .”

The reason behind Isaac achieving goals like others in the scripture is because they respected the foundation and memorial of God’s plan and purposes in their time. They adhered tenaciously to what God considered to be their landmark or foundation if they must prosper and enjoy His covenant

Prov 22:28 “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set”.

Psalms 11:3 “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Jeremiah 6:16a “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. . . ”

Achieving goals is a struggle for many believers. It’s even worst especially among the so called gospel ministers, because we are ministering without the gospel. A lot of man-made ideology is taking its root that some find it difficult in public to let known who they are. Instead of standing in the office of their calling, it appears they want to confine their life like the speakers of the world popularly called motivational speakers or good communicator’s probably to win the flavour of the day. Hence the Gospel calling of God as a Pastor for some like other ministerial offices is no longer acceptable, popular or a pride to acclaim to. But what are you called to DO or desire to ACHIEVE in life is the question now. What has come to take the place of the gospel wherein is the power that saves us. A lot of people in that they can’t or are struggling to achieve their goals have in essence gone compromising their faith. Where lays then the POWER OF THE GOSPEL that brings SALVATION – favour, peace, joy, mercies, forgiveness etc, in the Holy Spirit. Let us restore the gospel to its place as the foundation & God’s only memorial given to us in Christ to propel, prosper and appropriate the fullness of our salvation that we might find rest to our soul. The gospel gives – hope, faith, strength, love, life, deliverance, prosperity – to our desire goals either in business, career, marriage, ministry etc, name it.

Living for A Cause

1.Jesus – Our Example & Pattern

John 18:37 ‘’Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice’’

1 John 3:8 ‘’He that committeth sin is of the devil;for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil‘’

Acts 2:22 ‘’Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know’’

From the above scriptures we see how our Lord Jesus could get all the heavens available to Him to deal with the affairs of life. Not necessarily as God but as a man because the Gospel – salvation of mankind – the wellbeing of people was His passion hence He overcame triumphantly. He had the heavenly with him as a man simply because:

  • He lived for a cause – not any kind of life
  • He lived for a purpose – focus, vision, driven.
  • He had the Gospel (God’s passion) in Him – people oriented,
  • He had heavens approval with diverse miracles and wonders – supernatural provisions.
  • Heaven provided human help to assist Him in achieving His goals (Luke 18:1-3) in spite of having an accountant who turned out to be a thief and a betrayer.

2. Apostle Paul – Another Example

  • As a teacher: Acts 20:20-21, “And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”.
  • As a Pastor: 1 Thess 2:2-8 “But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness: Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us”
  • As an evangelist: Romans 9:1-3 “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh’’10:1 “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved”
  • As an Apostle: 2 Corinthians 11:28 “Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.”

Apostle Paul in spite of all oppositions & economic challenges as recorded in the scriptures, he achieved the cause and purposes for which he was born – the GOSPEL (Galatians 1:6-11). Hence he could make the bold statement of achieving his goal as in this scripture below.

2 Tim 4:6-8: ”For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing”

Your Empowerment

Beloved, the scriptures in Romans 1:16 and Deut 8:18 indicate the means by which we can overcome and be empowered. Our God is not allowing economic crisis to punish the world but to wake the saints up for such a time as this. He wants to pour out His knowledge and wisdom on the church so that when the world is limited economically and otherwise, they will look to the church for hope and freedom. If the church is beggarly, struggling and compromising the truth of the gospel, we will only become like the world, suffer, complain and murmur like they do.

Therefore Arise! For it is written in 1John 1:12 ‘’ But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name’’ if you can receive the right course of the gospel – salvation of mankind – God will empower you to create & achieve goals that will enhance your life and the destiny of others. When an individual, family or a nation devote their life to the cause of God’s will – the Gospel – empowerment (wisdom & knowledge) will come into reality. God will only commend what He commands – THE GOSPEL.

Finally

I pray this month of October you will daily experience the life of an over comer and God will cause you to achieve His purpose in your life. I do ask that our God will empower you as an individual, family or a Church and that you will not lose your focus in the Gospel. Its time to achieve goals by identifying what God has called you to be in the kingdom. You are made for success, don’t live small.

Only the Gospel has power to bring forth your salvation – desired goals – wholeness, wellness, health, healing, saving of the soul, sound mind etc.

Dare to overcome . . . the enabling power – THE GOSPEL.

His Servant, Your Brother

Achieving Life Goals through ‘’God’s Righteousness’’

(To view the scriptures, hover the mouse over the scripture, alternatively, double click to view scripture in different window.)

Romans 1:16-17 “”

Philippians 3:9

Praise God! That the set month – September – is here, a month the Lord has instructed me to remind His people to live a lifestyle of righteousness. A life set apart for God, is a life of righteousness. We live in the days that issues of right living are becoming absent in most of our pulpits in the name of political correctness, avoiding offence and not hurting people. In all this, most Christians are struggling to discern why some promises of God are not being fully actualised in their lives as in the scriptures while others enjoy the abiding and awesome presence of God in their lives in spite of the same battles that each goes through.

What determines ones achieving their life goals is in whether they are living under a dogmatic and man-made creed of righteousness or living on God’s kind of righteousness.

RIGHTEOUSNESS – Its Work and Effect:

In scriptural context, it means having a right standing in and with God. It means the right to live and stand in God’s presence without guilt or fear. It also means the right and boldness to appear before God’s presence to obtain help and mercy in times of need without wrath and a doubting heart.

1 Timothy 2:8

Hebrews 4:14-16

The work and effect of righteousness is peace, quietness and assurance. Righteousness produces good work but mere good works or charity on its own is not righteousness. For no man is justified by mere good work as in the law.

Isaiah 32:17

Galatians 2:16

REIGNING (Achieving) in Life:

By the act of our Redemption, we’ve been called into the Kingdom of our God. Hence Christ enjoined us to seek the life style of the kingdom as we seek God’s kingdom. Seeking the life style of the kingdom is seeking God’s way of doing and achieving things. The simple reason is because God’s kingdom life style is about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And if we are to reign (achieve) in life as expected in the kingdom, and do business in the kingdom with God, we must of necessity live a life style of righteousness in the Holy Ghost. This is the only way we can partner with God for Him to commend our life pursuits. Hence the great need for every intending achiever to earnestly thirst and hunger for a righteous life style which Christ promises to satisfy.

Matthew 5: 6 “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled”

Matt. 6:33 ‘’ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you‘’

Romans 14:17

Romans 5:17

Revelation 5:9-10

God’s Kind of RIGHTEOUSNESS:

In the main headed scriptural text of Romans 1:16-17 and Philippians 3:9, God’s kind of righteousness can be deduced in these formats:

  • It’s born of the revelation in the gospel of Christ at time of our Salvation in our hearts (spirit)
  • It’s powerful to make one live a triumphant and victorious life
  • It’s an act of faith
  • It cuts across creed, denomination and race. Meaning it’s not dogmatic, not peculiar or particular to some group of people but available to all mankind to live and enjoy God.

In 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, the scripture enjoined us to understand our place in Christ Jesus. That by the virtue of our redemption in the gospel revealed in and to us, we are made: New creation, Ambassador, Reconcilers and God’s righteousness.

Vs 21: ‘’For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him‘’

For Jesus became SIN (not sins) for us, that we might be made God’s righteousness in Him. Also, in 1 Corinthian 1:30 ‘’But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption‘’ and Romans 10:4 ‘’For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth‘’ we can see another cardinal plan in our Redemption that Christ Jesus is made unto us righteousness. Now as God’s people who have been ‘made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus’ and ‘Christ Jesus made unto us Righteousness’, it means that living a righteous life, is living in the consciousness and abiding presence of Christ in God. For Christ in us, the hope of glory, the hope to achieve goals, the hope to triumph, the hope to be – a winner, victor and more than a conqueror any day, anytime and anywhere.

Righteousness in Demonstration

God’s kind of righteousness is expressed by the empowering of the indwelling Holy Spirit in us as found in 1Corinthial 3:16-17 ‘’ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are‘’ This scripture indicates that by this indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, God’s love and righteousness is shed (spread) abroad in our hearts. In other words, we can live a meaningful life full of love and righteousness towards God and mankind. (Romans 5:5). By the indwelling Holy Spirit we can live above condemnation, dogmas and creed that lead to various kinds of bondages and self harm. Demonstrating in the Holy Spirit God’s kind of righteousness, we are empowered to return to God, be reconciled and restored when we sin. This is also true for now, for anyone struggling with sin to return to God, be reconciled and restored back to God.

1John 1:5-10

God’s kind of righteousness is a gift of God and it delivers one from sin and its consciousness and effect.

Proverbs 14:34 ’’Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people’’

Romans 6:23 ‘’For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’’

Some Likely Benefits of a Righteous Lifestyle

They are lots of benefits in living God’s kind of righteousness. Here are just few of them;

  • Dominion over sin (Romans 6:14)
  • Makes and enhances friendship with God (James 2:23)
  • Makes one live a transformed life (Romans 12:1-2)
  • Enables one to live above condemnation (Romans 8:1-2)
  • Takes one from strength to strength as in faith to faith (Job 17:9, Romans 1:17)
  • Delivers one from the God’s anger and wrath (Psalm 7:11; Romans 1:16-18)
  • It ensures peace, quietness and assurance forever (Isaiah 32:15-17)
  • . . . and many more

Finally beloved, the call to be set apart this month as a way of awakening us to the consciousness of God’s righteousness is to enhance us in achieving life goals, God’s way. If we must partner with God, this kingdom prerequisite is a must, for it attracts God backings and commendation. For sin consciousness is devilish, man-made and dogmatic and Satan’s set up to have us in guilt and bondages as he is the accuser of the brethren the scriptures say. Living in righteousness will keep us afloat and unspotted in this life as we deal with mistakes, challenges, disappointments and problems of life.

I welcome you into this set month as I do earnestly pray that your relationship and communion with God will increase more and more and you daily triumph, achieving your intended goals. May God set you on high as you set your life apart in His righteousness.

In His World For His Glory

Achieving Life Successes through Faithfulness

Luke 18:1-8 “. . . And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”

Luke 16:1-13 “. . . He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon”.

As we turn into the eighth month of the year, I call to remembrance that God made all things in six days – on the seventh – He rested and on the eighth day, the empowered man with dominion mandate began to function in achieving the reason for His creation.

Today we live in an age where faithfulness to ourselves and to others is in great demand for creating an atmosphere that we can enjoy. Unfortunately we are so eager to demand faithfulness from others while we may not be faithful ourselves even in the least of things.

Hence I am grateful to the Holy Spirit that this month He has constrained me to challenge us on the need of achieving life goals through faithfulness. Hence the reason to set tasks and targets for oneself in making it be.

We need to know that our God is a faithful God. This is just one basic nature of God – FAITHFULNESS. We being His children cannot afford to live in any other way and expect to achieve greatness in life.

The Results of Being Faithful

Great admirable marriages, homes & businesses are not achieved merely from structural design but from faithful human hearts. The results of being faithful are the prosperity and good success that we all desire. When we make faithfulness an avenue of achieving life’s goals, we promote honesty, decency and healthy lifestyles.

In the scripture quoted at the beginning, Luke 18:7-8, Jesus asked a question about faithfulness. The word FAITH is translated ‘pistil’ in Greek, which denotes faithfulness in English. Jesus wondered how many would be faithful – to trust God and wait upon His Word – without seeking alternative solutions to life’s challenges. The 2nd main text, Luke 16:1-13, shows the reason that many of us cannot achieve our goals. It is because we are not faithful in matters entrusted into our hands by others.

God’s Faithful Nature

In achieving life’s goals, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding faithfulness.

  1. God is faithful to Himself. 2Tim 2:13
  2. God is faithful to His Word and promises. Heb 10:23
  3. God is faithful to His relationship. 1 Corinth 1:9
  4. God is faithful to forgive. 1 John 1:9
  5. God is faithful in agreement. Deut 7:9
  6. God is faithful to establish and deliver. 1 Cor 10:13, 2 Thess 3:3
  7. God is faithful to accomplish His part in the assignment that he gives to us. 1 Thess 5:24
  8. God is a faithful creator. 1 Peter 4 4:19 . . . and many more of our God.

Know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture. Acts 17:28-29, Psalms 100:3. It then means that we can live a faithful life and achieve good successes. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was faithful and prospered. The same grace is available to us today in spite of our challenges to be faithful and to prosper. Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2, 24:1)

Faithfulness Applied

  1. A faithful employee – Whatever position you hold, God requires you to be faithful. Matt 24:45-51, Ephesians 6:5-8, 1 Peter 2;18-20, Col 3:22-25
  2. A faithful employer – look after your staff well whatever the business. Ephesians 6:6-9, Col 4:1, Prov 11:24-26, Deut 10:17-18, Acts 10:34-35, Romans 2:11
  3. Faithful in your relationships. This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society.
  • Faithfulness in the kingdom business. As a minister, pastor, ministry worker etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s Word and commands is a prerequisite to achieving desired goals. 1 Cor 4:2, 2 Tim 2:1-2, Prov 27:23, John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7, Heb 3:2,5.)
  • In marriage one cannot afford to be unfaithful and achieve with God. (1 Tim 3:11, Prov 31:10, Prov 20:6, Eph 5:21-33, 1 Peter 3:1-12).
  • Faithfulness is also vital in a parent – child relationship. Eph 6:1-4, Col 3:20-21, Prov 22:6
  • Faithfulness in friendships. Prov 27:6,10, Prov 17:17, Prov 18:24

Faithfulness Rewards

  1. Abound with blessings. Prov 28:20
  2. Abound with health. Prov 13:17, 2 Cor 5:20
  3. A refresher for others. Prov 25:13
  4. There will be increase and promotion. Matt 25:21,23
  5. There will be eternal reward. Matt 25:21b, 23b

Finally, as one with an achievers’ mandate, I beckon on you to set task and target this month on how to walk in faithfulness if you want to partner with God. I pray you be found faithful in every area of your life through this month and thereafter.

Be Augustly PROSPERED!

ENHANCING your FAITH to BECOME what you BELIEVE

(Matthew 9:27-31; Genesis 26:1-25)

This month is a very crucial month for all who by reasons of grace have been sharing in the Ministry of the AFD. It’s crucial because it is the seventh month of the year and seven signifies maturity, completeness, wholeness, fulfilment etc. God is indicating strongly in my spirit, His intention to make His people ‘BE’. Make them Become what they BELIEVE to ACHIEVE, according to His plans and purposes for their lives.

If we are to ‘BE’, we need to ‘COME’ into His grace in order to ‘BECOME’. My mandate through the AFD is to ensure that you become what you believe; this is God’s great cry for you. Jesus came, died and rose again for your daily triumph and victories (2 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 15:57, Romans 8:37).

You may say, ‘Yea, I have become’, but are you complete and in the fullness of it. How many lives is your ‘becoming’ influencing positively towards God and not self. In this time of famine of the truth of God’s Word, God has also promise the knowledge of His Word to His people (2 Timothy 4:1-4, Amos 8:11-14; Daniel 12:4, Habakkuk 2:14). We need words of grace spoken into our lives so that we can become what we believe. It may be a fact that we are at present in an economic and financial crunch leading to political unrest, family breakdown, career mishaps and business setbacks etc, but by God’s spoken Word, it is possible to BECOME, only believe.

 Genesis 26:1-25 ‘’ And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.  And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.  And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:  And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.  And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.  And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.  And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.  And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake. And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well’’.

 Matthew 9:27-31 ’’And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.  And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country’’.

 In Genesis 26:1-11, there was famine in the land. One option was to escape and search for greener pastures – as sense knowledge would have led people do in difficult times. The other was to stay against all odds in obedience to God’s Word with the eye of faith and subdue it to become what you are made to BE.

Isaac was almost led astray, but thanks to God’s spoken Word and a reminder of his covenant rights as Abraham seed which we too are through what Christ did for us. (Genesis 26:1-5, Galatians 3:26-29).The famine was so bad that he was about to leave and go down the way of the Egyptians (unbelievers). At some point he presented his wife, Rebecca, as his sister to the Philistines in order to protect himself – according to him – from harm.

God spoke to Isaac reminding him of his covenant rights and privileges. Today we have the Bible, the written word of God –referred to as LOGOS. We also have the revealed or spoken Word of God – referred to as RHEMA. To become great is an attitude of obedience. Isaac obeyed the voice of the Lord, took the instructions in spite of the FACTS of life surrounding him – economic and social breakdown. He made a deliberate choice to obey the TRUTH that came from the Word of God not the fact of what he was experiencing.

 In Genesis 26:12-14, we see that Isaac’s obedience helped him to reap a hundred fold and God blessed him: that is, he BECAME great and went FORWARD until he BECAME very great. He enhanced his faith by obeying God’s Word. He chose obedience over sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22-23). Listen, as important as sacrifices of worship, of finances, prayer and fasting are, we cannot use them to get God’s attention. They are only valuable when we walk in obedience to God’s Word. Especially when you know what it is that God has instructed you to do in a particular situation. In that Isaac acted on God’s Word, even in the midst of his prosperity being challenged by the enemy, he found grace in God who had been involved from the start (Genesis 26:15-25).

 As an achiever in the Lord, your faith attitude will go a long way to determine your altitude. In Matthew 9:27-31 Jesus spoke to two blind men who need to ‘BE’ in their sight saying vs. 29 “…be it unto you according to your faith.” In other words BECOME what you BELIEVE.

 The big issue at the moment is for you to ENHANCE YOUR FAITH to enable you to BE what you want to become, be it health, financial freedom or prosperity, marital fulfilment, entrepreneurship, career stability etc. You have the right to succeed in all areas of life. Jesus paid for the salvation of your total being (1 Thessalonians 5:23, Hebrews 4:12). You can stop focusing on the facts working against you, stop complaining and living in wishful thinking – and rise up in FAITH to become the person that God has purposed you to BE (Romans 8:28-30). This is the choice that we have to make, but my mandate is to see you BECOME by BELIEVING the truth of the Word of God.

 Guidelines To Enhance Your Faith

  • Give your ears to the hearing of God’s Word.(Romans 10:6-10,17
  • Pray in the Holy Spirit. (Jude 20) and obey the leadership of the Holy Spirit ( Romans 8:14-16)
  • Trust on God’s word and His sayings not the facts of life.(John 8:32; Proverbs 4:20-22; Joshua 1:8)
  • Work in love, not bitterness or regret. (Galatians 5:6). Do life business in love. Achieve goals in love.

 Finally, God has a reason, plan and purpose for your life. You can become if you change what you believe from mere fact to the truth of the Word of God. I prophesy that the grace to BECOME may be with you and that God help you just like He did Isaac in this crucial month and for the rest of your life.

 Be completely fulfilled and BECOME in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

Every Blessing,

‘’LIVING THE KINGDOM, ENJOYING THE BLESSINGS’’

Revelation 5:9-12 – ‘’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. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing’’.

Matthew 6:25-34 –‘’ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. ‘’

How much I welcome you to the purposeful month of Greatness – ‘’Living The Kingdom, Enjoying The Blessings’’. The great mandate and privilege of being Born into the kingdom is to enjoy the blessings also. For everyone born into the kingdom which is as a result of believing in the Redemptive work of Christ is not only just to be saved but are called to inherit a blessing. –

Galatians 3:13-14 ‘’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: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith ‘’;

1 Peter 3:8-12 ‘’ Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil ‘’

Hebrews 6:10-12 ‘’ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises ‘’.

Our good Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people. He wants each of us in the kingdom not to become just a mere believers in Him but to live the kingdom in achieving their goals and aspirations in life with godly success, happiness, peacefulness, wellness, healthiness etc. This applies to our goals in having a good home, marriage, property, business/career, children, etc/

John 10:10 ‘’The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly‘’

Psalm 35:27 ‘’Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant ’’

3Jn 2‘’Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth ‘’

Joshua 1:8 ‘’ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success‘’.

But unfortunately, many believers in Christ, in pursuance to have this life’s basic amenities have forgotten the kingdom’s major priority or prospect – Living the Kingdom. It’s for this cause that there are a lot of worries, anxieties and depressions with their side effects happening to us in spite of all we have accumulated as possessions.

In the book of Romans 14:17 ‘’ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost ‘’, we can fully ascertain what the kingdom of God is all about. Not just merely fun or of eating and drinking  but having a righteous lifestyle before God in our relations with life and mankind, having and living in  peace with others and without shame before God in a turbulent world and a joyful life in the Holy Spirit in spite of all happenings around you. Living the kingdom is about having a righteous standing with God in an unrighteous environment, living with Peace in the midst of hatred, jealousy, envy, wickedness and disappointment, and rejoicing in your faith by the Holy Spirit in absolute adversities. This is the way to live the kingdom and be above in the present economic and financial instability, natural disasters, political instability, family/domestic breakdowns, business and career uncertainties and much more the continuous and constant spiritual warfare against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places.

2Corinthians 10:3-6 ‘’ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled‘’

The Scripture says all who thirst and hunger after this kingdom pattern will be filled, as written in Matthew 5:6 ‘’Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled‘’. This means that the amount of satisfaction and fulfilment one enjoys or can enjoy in the kingdom is as a result of the quest, thirst and hunger one craves for in the kingdom. God will not waste His kingdom resources that have cost God His Son – Lord Jesus – for our salvation on people whose main purpose is self gratification and materialism for human egos.  For this cause, Jesus made some illustrations on how to value life in the kingdom as written in Matthew 6:25-34 (Main text above). The above scriptures inform us that our life is more precious than mere food and drink, that the body is more vital than clothing. And much more, that we seek first the kingdom of God and His way of doing things (Righteousness), which will enhance all we intend to pursue or are pursuing as believers, then we can have our desires come to reality by no act of stressfulness; and not the other way round as being done in a crazy manner by the unbelievers (Heathens or Gentiles, the scriptures call them). Living the kingdom will give freedom from all forms of anxieties, worries, depression, trauma and disappointment, for we are a people of life, faith, hope and love. We need not to fight or pursue life affairs as those without life, faith, hope and love. Know full well that we are of God and God’s promises will never fail. Delay is never a denial, for our God is always on time. 1 Corinthians 1:9 ‘’God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord‘’.

GOD PROMISES/BLESSINGS:

  1. God wants to ADD wellness to your life – Matthew 6:33 ‘’But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you ‘’.

  2. He promises us a life of hope, welfare and future – Jeremiah 29:11 ‘’ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end‘’.

  3. That in times of famine He will look after us – Job 5:20-27 ‘’ In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good ‘’; Psalm 33:16-19 ‘’ There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine; Psalm 37:16-19 ‘’A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied‘’.

In the bible days when the ECONOMY and MONEY FAILED the men of first civilisation in Egypt, God was THERE for His people, much more now we are under His grace and mercies, He will care for His own. Genesis 47:13-27 ‘’And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth. And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not aught left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s. And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands. Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants. And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s. And Israel (God’s people) dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly‘’.

Beloved, as Achievers in Christ Jesus, I pray that you live in the consciousness of the kingdom for what your are as in 1 Peter 2:5-10 ‘’ 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. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, and precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 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: 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‘’. Today a great shaking is happening in diverse places in the world which is invariably affecting nations, some having an economic and political instability, natural disasters, financial crunch, business/career insecurity, family and domestic decadence, community killings or rituals, local and international wars etc. Some of these things we have created are hunting us in a way. But as God’s own child, the scriptures have made it plain that we can live above all these circumstances and that comes by Living the Kingdom in order to enjoy the Lord’s goodness with pleasure – Psalm 65:11‘’ Thou crowns the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness ‘’.

Finally, as we go through this purposeful month of June, the book of Revelations 5:9-12 (explained earlier) indicates seven key kingdom covenant blessings which Christ received on our behalf as His redeemed people. We are redeemed to enjoy them and I duly present them to you and that you pray them into your life as you ‘Live The Kingdom To Enjoy The Blessings’:

  1. Power for fear, inferiority complex and timidity (2Tim. 1:7)

  2. Riches for our Poverty (2Cor. 8:9)

  3. Wisdom for ignorance (James1:5)

  4. Strength for our weakness ( Isaiah 40:28-31)

  5. Honour for our shame (Eph. 2:5-10)

  6. Glory for our reproach(Col. 1:27)

  7. Blessing for our curse(s) (Gal. 3:13-14).

I pray that all these kingdom rights and privileges be added to you as you seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness PURPOSEFULLY and I do prophesy that Isaiah 3:10 become your daily song and experiences throughout this month of JUNE. BE ETERNALLY PROSPERED! Amen.

In His World For His Glory,

Maximising Every Opportunity

“Towards Building Your Precious Faith’’

2 Peter 1:1 ‘Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:

Matthew 13:44-46 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it’.

Ecc. 9:11-12 ’I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them’.

I perceive strongly in my spirit to specially WELCOME you into this Month Achievers’ Faith theme: Maximising every opportunity towards ‘Building Your PRECIOUS FAITH’. How precious is your Faith in Christ to your wellbeing. For a man can only treasure what he values and has respect for. How valuable is your faith in Christ then? Have you ever read or considered that you can’t purchase or exchange your Faith for wealth, money, career, fame etc.?

Psalm 49:6-9 ‘They that trust in their WEALTH, and boast themselves in the multitude of their RICHES; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth forever:) That he should still live forever, and not see corruption’.

Prov. 23:5 ‘Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for RICHES certainly make themselves WINGS; they FLY AWAY as an eagle toward heaven’.

We live in the time of life and in a generation in which many have no understanding of the times in which we live. Unlike the Children of Issachar who understood their time – 1Chronicles 12:32 ‘And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment’. For us, we live in the last days and a lot of ‘’Last Days’’ events as in the scriptures are daily fulfilled before our eyes positively and negatively. How much more shall we see reasons to continuously and constantly make every effort to treasure our Precious Faith as a Vessel not as an Ornament as in

2Tim. 2:19-21 ‘Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work’.

For as a Vessel we can become more to our generation as God’s Achievers. For success without a successor is failure in disguise just as prosperity without posterity is a complete Failure. Our God wants us to be a plus to our generation – Meaning to our Family, Church, Career/Work, Community and Society in general – He wants our life to count in every phase of human endeavour, hence the scripture declared us as a message to one, a people or a generation.

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 ‘Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart’.

We are God’s own and an extention of His goodwill to mankind.

The book of Jude 20 ‘But ye, beloved, BUILDING up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost’, encourages us to build and how to build our Precious Faith. Also, Colossians 2:6-7 ‘As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving’ speaks of us being rooted, built up and established in our Precious Faith. Apostle Paul knowing the value of building Faith request the Ephesus Church Elders to what they should do to build their Precious Faith as in 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’.

To build is to make progress, develop, edify, rise like an edifice higher and higher in every areas of our life. We need to make an effort to build and not stagnant because we are engaged daily in spiritual warfare 1 Timothy 1:18 ‘This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare’ we are engaged in a Fight of our Faith as in 1 Timothy 6:12 ‘Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses’. God wants us to fight a good fight of Faith, some fights are just not worth the aggro, hence we have complexity in our family/marital life, career, Christian life, social life resulting in many emotional breakdowns. Apostle Paul fought a good Fight of Faith (2 Timothy 4:7)

Building our Precious Faith in Christ is the only way to keep ourselves alive and awake in this time of all sorts happening around us. For when we BUILD, we are INSPIRED, and when we are inspired we will not EXPIRE. Meaning our inspiration from God will not go dim – 1 Samuel 3:1. The Bible wants us to be inspired and not to sleep in order to have a positive effect on our generation. (Ephesians 5:14, 1Cor. 15:34, Romans 13;11, Proverbs 20:13, 10:5, 6:10, 24:33, 1 Thessalonians 5:6).

We need to keep building up our Precious Faith, for we can’t live our life in the past or experiences of old. What may have been relevant yesterday may not be as relevant in today’s affairs to enhance our Precious Faith in order for us to live a triumphant, victorious and an overcomer life style. (1 Corinthians15:57, 2 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 8:37). In Romans 10:17), the scripture tells us how our Precious Faith which is spiritual can be built, lest we become a people of no faith (2 Thessalonians 3:2), carnal (1Cor. 3:1-3) and/or natural (1 Corinthians 2:14-16).

We need to build our Precious Faith, because it’s the only spiritual tender of obtaining or having any form of deal or exchange in the shop of Heaven (Heb.11:6, 2Cor. 5:7). The book of Hebrews chapter eleven summarises what Faith does through the life of those that are mentioned.

Finally, can you please read and meditate on Matt13:44-46. It sums up a Heart Attitude for Heart Altitude of one who quests to treasure what is precious, valuable and priceless. Every opportunity and chance is maximised to obtain the treasure (Ecc. 9:11-12). You can begin today and through the Month of MAY to seek for all it takes to build your precious Faith to enhance and increase your WHOLESOME life in fulfilling your kingdom mandate (1Thess. 5:23, Heb.4:12-13, Lk. 2:52).

May the good Lord grant you abundance of grace in maximising every opportunity to build your precious Faith.

BE AMAZINGLY BLESSED!

In His World For His Glory

Manifesting  An “Effectual FAITH Life” Diligently

 Philemon 3-6 ‘’Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication (Sharing or Fellowship) of thy Faith may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus’’.

 Luke 18: 1-8 ‘’ And he (Jesus) spake a parable unto them to this end, that Men ought always to Pray, and not to FAINT; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH on the earth? (See also 1Samuel 30)

Provebs. 22:29 ‘’Seest thou a Man DILIGENT in his business? He shall stand before Kings; he shall not STAND before MEAN men.

Hebrews 11:6 ‘’but without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for him that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him

Here in Britain, our financial year begins this month of April. While to many it is April Fools, to the Diligent in life, it is April Wise. The wise in Christ must know that Anointing without money can become Annoyance, and in some cases a complete frustration in our Faith Lifestyle when facing the global financial famine and challenges of this generation.

 A lot of diligent decisions which can make you have an Effectual Faith Lifestyle or a Fainting Lifestyle come by this Month of APRIL. That is the reason that our Lord Jesus in Luke 18: 1-8 was concerned about the faint–hearted believers. This is because He has paid the necessary price to enable our communication or fellowship of Faith lifestyle to be EFFECTUAL. To be Effectual means that our FAITH/FAITHFULNESS in Christ is producing, generating and achieving all our intended and desired results.

We are Born Again to reign in life for a CAUSE or PURPOSE, not to Faint nor Give up in our Faith lifestyle. Hence Philemon 6 reminds us that an Effectual lifestyle is the acknowledging of every good work which is in you in Christ Jesus. There is a good work wrought by the Lord in you. For we are God’s workmanship; Ephesians 2:10 ‘’For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

In the same manner, we are strongly counselled in Proverbs 3: 5-6 ‘’Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Not to lean on our own understanding but to acknowledge God in all our ways. It is very important for every believer intending to have a long lasting effectual Christian life that will do others good, to have this understanding that not having our intended desire come to pass may be due to not acknowledging that is of God and not of ourselves. This will stop selfishness and self-centeredness to the opportunity God has given us to bless or communicate or share or fellowship our FAITH with others EFFECTUALLY. For by flesh shall no man prevail or become Effectual in the kingdom faith lifestyle. 1Sam.2:9b ’’ . . . for by strength shall no man prevail’’; Zechariah 4:6b ‘’. . .  Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts. ). 

Finally – an Effectual Faith Lifestyle is not about what you can do for God but about what you can allow God to do through you to the glory of our risen Lord and the blessing of mankind. It is not about how INTELLIGENT one is but about the Lord’s GRACE allowed to work in all of our life. BE WISE!

 Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 ‘’ I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them’’.

 Romans 9:16 ‘’ So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.

 2Corinthians 3:5 ‘’Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God’’

I pray this month of APRIL that your FAITH/FAITHFULNESS will be EFFECTUAL in all you lay your hands to do. Be blessed as you DIGEST.

MARANATHA!

MARCH 2008

Your crucial month to ‘’LET GO AND MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH’’ in the face of absolute opposition.

Exodus 14 vs 13-16 “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea”.

 

Philippians 3 vs 13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”.

 

At death our Lord Jesus Christ made once and for all eternity this remark: It is FINISHED!

 

John 19:30 ‘’When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost’’

 

Meaning that the price of our sin i.e. sickness, poverty, anxiety, fear, regret, depression, life despair and spiritual death have been PAID. We are to live ONWARDS in complete freedom, enjoy health and healing, long life and prosperity etc, and all things that pertain to life and godliness.

 

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‘’

 

In Ephesians 1 vs 3,

‘’Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ

 

we know that God has BLESSED us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. In the same manner, God promised the Israelites Canaan, land of milk and honey which had been paid for by Abraham, years ahead of them, (Genesis 23) but instead of keeping focused, MOVING FORWARD in faith to the land of promise, they stood STILL crying as those without hope, dwelling on issues that became a MOUNTAIN to their destiny.

 

Deuteronomy 1:6  ‘‘The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount”.

God had to speak to Moses to LET GO of that cry and MOVE FORWARD with the people in Exodus 14:13-16; and also in,

 

Deuteronomy 1 vs 6-8 ‘’The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:  Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them’’.

 

Our God has lots in store for us, but we MUST LET GO of all sorts of unbelievable vices called sin.

 

Isaiah 59:1-2 ‘’Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear’’

 

They are worms that eat up our life goals and pursuits. The Bible calls them ‘little foxes that spoil the vine’

 

Song of Solomon 2:1a ‘‘Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines . . .’’

 

1 Corinthians 5 vs 6b ‘’. . . Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump’’.

 

In Philippians 3:13-14, Apostle Paul challenged us to let go of the past and move forward to the future. I therefore call on you in this Month to let go and move forward, maximise this month of MARCH to your profiting. Your future is very great, do not mortgage it for lesser matters. Until you hear from me again, Jesus Loves you, so do I.

 

Praying for you. MARANATHA!

February 2008 AFD

February 1, 2008 By Chukie MORSI Leave a Comment

FEBRUARY 2008

An awesome Month of:

‘’PONDERING ON & REKINDLING YOUR FIRST LOVE’’ – Rev. 2:4

 

‘’Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy FIRST LOVE’’.

 

Can you recall the Love experiences you had the first time you gave your life to God through Christ; when you met your spouse; when you met or had your Friend’s, Children, Family, Colleagues at work, neighbour etc. That first time you had an encounter with all or any, how much worth was it to you then. What has changed over the period of time, Is the Love life still as refreshing? Has anything gone wrong?

 

The book of Revelation chapter 2 and 3, gives an amazing and awesome x-ray of seven Churches over a period of time, while Rev. 2:1-7

 

‘’Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast labored, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy FIRST LOVE.  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God’’.

 

was about the Ephesus Church/Christians. They had a good commendation on almost every phase of Christian walk except in one, their ‘’FIRST LOVE’’. Their Love flame, inspiration, passion, was gone and decaying.

 

The BIBLE LOVE: Is the frame work and hinges where every Christian ought to live their life. Love is one of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit – Gal. 5:22-23;

 

‘’But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law’’.

 

Also, the lubricant by which our FAITH can WORK and SERVING others can be express –  Gal. 5:6 ‘’ For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which WORKETH by LOVE ’’;  Gal. 5:13 ‘’ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another’’

The Scripture declare LOVE a ‘More Excellent Way’ of doing Life (1 Cor. 12:31-13:13 ‘’But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a MORE EXCELLENT WAY.  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity (Love)’’.

 

No matter what, I can hear the Holy Spirit saying, ARISE, give me a chance to help REKINDLE & BLOSSOM you into RIVERS of Love again – Rom. 5:5 ‘’ 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’’; John. 4:14 ‘’ But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life’’; Prov. 4:23 ’’ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life’’;  Rom. 8:26-28  ‘’Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 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’.’

 

The RESULT of the Ephesus Church/Christians rekindling their ‘First Love’ is the Book of Ephesians which affects every facets of human Love relationship, also, on the how to war spiritually against the enemy of our FIRST LOVE.

 

I do pray you be WISE this month of FEBRUARY in allowing God to do a surgical work in your ‘FIRST LOVE’. Have an awesome and amazing time. Jesus Loves you, so do I,

‘’ENACTING The FREEDOM THAT COMES IN READING The WORD’’


John 8:32 ‘’And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free‘’

Luke 6:1-5 ’’ And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days. And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they which were with him; How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath‘’

What a great year, what a great time and opportunity to be well and alive for this generation full of life and vitality. I perceive that the beginning of Months in the New Year is the time of laying the foundation to the Freedom an individual wants to enjoy, and this I consider as an inescapable task of every Believer in Christ Jesus. And Jesus knew that the freedom every individual wants and need is found in God’s WORD:


Matthew 4:4 ‘’But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God’’.

For me, I see and know the BIBLE as ‘Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal’, which is infallible and completely enrich with the information of life in the now, and that which is to come; more than any TV or other MEDIA have and can ever offer:

2 Tim. 3:15-17 ‘’And that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works’’.

2 Timothy 2:15 ‘’Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth’’. 1Tim. 4:6-8; ‘‘If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come’’.

If we can Start Reading and Stop JUST Gazing/Watching, our Freedom will come sooner than ever thought:

Acts1:10-11 ‘’And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye GAZING up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven’’.


God does no magic, for kingdom miracles are not accidental but are brought about by spiritual or biblical faith principles. It is the Truth that one knows that sets one Free:

John 8:32 ‘’And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’’.

For it’s written that the just in Christ shall live by his faith on the truth that he knows of God and towards that need in ones life:

Habakkuk 2:4 ‘’. . . The just shall live by his faith’’. Rom. 1:17; ‘’For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written. The just shall live by faith’’.

Life is not about what SOMEONE said or what you THINK you know but what God SAYS as written in the book of wisdom for living:

Proverbs 4:20-21; ‘’My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my SAYINGS. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life’’ .

We are enjoined to incline our ears to God’s SAYINGS, for in it, is LIFE. His sayings about you are in His Word, The BIBLE. Just gazing/watching probably Christian TV Channel or the Pastor on the pulpit (if there is one) will not give sufficient freedom until you start KNOWING for yourself God’s plan for your life through READING then STUDYING The WORD. JESUS DID, hence God APROVED Him!

Lk. 4:16-21 ‘’And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to Read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears’’.

Acts 2:22 ‘’ Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know‘’

Be assured that the price of spiritual ignorance is more deadly than any cancer:

Proverbs 13:15 ‘’Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard (difficult)’’.

Proverbs 21:16; ‘’The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead’’.

In the book of Luke 6:1-5 ‘’ And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days. And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they which were with him; How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath’’.

Jesus answered a question with ‘HAVE YOU NOT READ’ Why? Jn 5:39 ‘’Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me’’.


He wants people to know that Life questions are answered in the scriptures but because we don’t read or really read in-depth, we stay in the same cycle always as those without hope and God in this world.

We can read or search like the BEREA Christian’s:

Acts 17:10-12; ‘And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonian, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few’’.

1 Tim. 4:11-13;  ‘’These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine’’. Prov. 25:2; ‘’It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter’’.

By READING or SEARCHING scriptures one have KNOWLEDGE, then UNDERSTANDING, then WISDOM for LIFE:

Prov. 24:3-6; ‘’Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shall make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety’’.

Prov. 4:5-7; ‘’Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding’’.

Prov. 3:13-18; ‘’Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her’’.

Ecc.7:12; ‘’Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it’’.

FINALLY Beloved, DARE TO READ, LIVE FREE, REIGN IN DOMINION. This I pray,  that as you take this inescapable task of enormous READING that the grace of God in the following scriptural prayers outline below will be yours, Amen.

Eph. 1: 17-23; Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 3:14-21; For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Colossians1:9-14; For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 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:

Philippians 1:8-11; And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgement; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Hebrews 13:20-21; 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, Make you perfect (mature, complete) 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 forever and ever. Amen.

Have a BLESSED MONTH without LIMIT!
