WELCOME TO THE DAWN MONTH AUGUST 2021: THE MONTH TO FOLLOW –“THE PATH TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE” IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

The dawn Month AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new beginning. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the theme, to AUGUST therefore means to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like . . .

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now what I think.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s new day was dawn, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done of God’s purpose for him – Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; and for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fullfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for a honourable marriage? and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED,  REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity and possibility to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

I pray that as you turn into this month of August, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of  majesty, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminent, dignity, revered, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai – lived in him – Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
