The Holy Spirit Is Our God Given HELPER: Stop That Concept Of SEEING Man & MAKING Man – As Your Acclaimed “DESTINY HELPER”!

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1.

I believe that God uses people at various times in the past and present to fulfill His PURPOSE, and will still use people of all sorts to assist us in fulfilling His PURPOSE in order to ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM CAUSES and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. But to THINK or ATTRIBUTE that a CERTAIN individual or groups of people are to be seen or owned personally as your “HELPER” or in the words of current atmosphere in use “DESTINY HELPER” is unscriptural. Much more to be praying that such person or people will be RESTLESS, STRESSFUL, WITHOUT PEACE, WITHOUT SLEEP AND SUCH LIKES until such or they help you is not only unscriptural but very worrisome indeed of such concept or acts of PRAYERS to God in the name of Jesus. For there’s no scriptural basis for such unprecedented behavioural state, neither is it mentioned in anywhere that man has become our ANSWERS to God’s own PURPOSE in and about our life in Christ Jesus BLESSEDNESS. And such actions, concepts and behavioural mindset of owning or attributing an individual or people as our HELPERS, will not lead any in Christ Jesus to fulfil DIVINELY approved PURPOSES in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; but may satisfy the APPLAUD of men for self-gratifications, oppression and victimisation of an individual or people who refuses such inclination.

Firstly, the Holy Writ of Ephesians 1:3, thus indicates that each Born Again child of God is BLESSED in grace potentially – meaning EMPOWERED to Succeed, to Triumph, to be Victorious, to BECOME, to Thrive, to Create, Innovate and Explore; and to be More Than Conquerors and to be an Overcomer and such likes.

Secondly, the Holy Writ of Ephesians 1:5 and 11 thus indicates that each of us and together, who are born of God are already predestinated to become in God whatever we desired in PURPOSE to be in Him according to His will in us – 1 John 5:14-15. And Romans 8:28-30 then amplifiers that as PREDESTINATED people of God, all things have been DESIGNED of God to work together for our good and goodness because we LOVE the Lord God; and God have justified us, chosen us, predestined us and glorified us in Christ Jesus stead. And if we ARE what the scriptures says we are, how come people are still saying they are either SEARCHING for their destiny or PURSUING their destiny. And as such somebody must be RESPONSIBLE and be held ACCOUNTABLE to be their DESTINY HELPER or the HELPER to make them fulfil purpose or purposes. I have began to worry for some Christians in certain quarters whom I have seen making enemy out of people by the kind of prayers they are making, because they have assumed that they have not been helped or are not receiving helping hands to fulfill their acclaimed DESTINY, which means their labelled DESTINY HELPER is undermining them and should be cursed or maimed for not fulfiling their desired obligations or intended goals.

Someone I thought should know better sent me this message that got me wondering what has happened to the Church or is happening to Church today, and in certain quarters. The message received is this:

“There are no GREAT men, only HELPED men . . . Whatever stands between you and HELPERS be removed now . . . May your HELPER be RESTLESS today until they HELP you in Jesus Name”

I have tried to remove the name of the originator for conscience sake, knowing he’s someone notable in places and a positioned person in the body of Christ; this is to safeguard DECENCY in the Body of Christ sacred Ministry for which I am called to share and partake, and of course, truly believe God is building. Honestly I was shocked though but not surprised, because I have seen lots of such likes acts of PRAYERS going on in some certain quarters for a while now, which is very disturbing and lots are already questioning.

Am emboldened to say that such line of PRAYER or PRAYERS are unwarranted and it’s unscriptural and must not be a part of the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus acts of PRAYERS by any means. As New Creation, we ARE REDEEMED, CALLED, CHOSEN, PREDESTINED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED by God in His FOREKNOWLEDGED plan in Christ Jesus as written in Romans 8:28-30. The Scripture of Ephesians 1:1-12, thus indicates that God has BLESSED us, CHOSEN us, ACCEPTED us, PREDESTINED or PREDESTINATED us, in Him to fulfill PURPOSE. And to be BLESSED therefore means to be EMPOWERED to succeed, thrive, triumph, more than conquerors, to become and to be an overcomer and a victor in Christ Jesus. It’s not only that we have been BLESSED, but have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME in LIFE and GODLINESS (Godly Living) in Christ Jesus stead.

And when you know that God have BLESSED you and PREDESTINATED you in Christ Jesus to SUCCEED having CHOSEN you, you need not think that any man can HELP or be your sole HELPER personified, to make you BE or BECOME what God have MADE you to be in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

God will use people to fulfil PURPOSE in our life surely. And we don’t owe or own such people to name them DESTINY HELPERS to go PRAYING that they should be RESTLESS until they come and help you. For you are your own destiny, PREDESTINED of God to become in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. It thus means, if God MADE you as said, only Him and Him alone, can HELP you or be your HELPER in fulfiling His PURPOSE in your life in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. No man is to be stationed or be defined or acclaimed or looked up to in such regards. It’s a deception of the Enemy and Cohorts to limit us and hinder us of the helping hand of God.

Therefore, let us walk as obedient children and as Christ Ambassador’s, respecting the supply that God our HELP and HELPER will generate by Himself through men to make us fulfil His will – PURPOSE- in our Life and Godly Living. It will stop all the discord, schism, acrimony and the enmity that have generated overtime as Individuals or the Churches of Christ in doing some ridiculous acts of prayers to possess people as our inheritance in the name of “HELPERS” or “DESTINY HELPERS”.

I pray God gives you Wisdom – knowledge and understanding – in the light of the Scriptures. I pray you live to fulfil PURPOSE by God in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah” Psalms 46:1-3.

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our INFIRMITIES (Limitations, Failures, Shortfalls, Inadequacies etc): 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. 27 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” Romans 8:26-27.

“For as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will SHEW you things to come. 14 He shall GLORIFY me: for he shall RECEIVE of mine, and shall SHEW it unto you” John 16:13-14.

“WOE to them that go DOWN to Egypt for HELP; and stay on HORSES, and trust in CHARIOTS, because they are MANY; and in HORSEMEN, because they are very STRONG; but they LOOK not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither SEEK the Lord! 2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and AGAINST the HELP of them that work iniquity. 3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their HORSES flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall STRETCH out his hand, both he that HELPETH shall fall, and he that is HOLPEN shall fall down, and they all shall FAIL together” Isaiah 31:1-3.

“Thus saith the Lord; CURSED be the man that TRUSTETH in man, and MAKETH FLESH HIS ARM, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like the HEATH in the desert,  and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 BLESSED is the man that TRUSTETH in the Lord, and whose HOPE the Lord is. 8 For he shall be as a tree PLANTED by the waters, and that SPREADETH out her roots by the river, and shall not see when HEAT cometh, but her leaf shall be GREEN; and shall not be CAREFUL in the year of DROUGHT, neither shall CEASE from YIELDING fruit” Jeremiah 17:5-8.

“The Lord is my SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He MAKETH me to lie down in green pastures: he LEADETH me beside the still waters . . .” Psalms 23:1-6.

“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. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30

AFD OCTOBER 2016 EDITION

By Leave a Comment

oct_2016_afd-theme_afd-three-266x160 GREETINGS:
 Shalom! Kingdom & Redemption Life Greetings!! WELCOME to the new and existing recipients of the Achievers’ FAITH Digest, the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publication of Year 2016. More so, welcome to this gracious and graceful October Month, which is the tenth month of the leap year and is themed: TRANSFORMING OUR WORLDS IN PRAYERS! “Giving The Heavens The Permission In our Earthly Affairs”

I gracefully and graciously welcome you into this October month of transforming our worlds through prayers by abounding in the presence of our God; A time of giving the heavens the permission to make the desire change or changes you so greatly desire to happen to you. And upon that I do pray that His grace, peace, love and mercy might take hold of you for this cause, with all things under your feet and control according to the Holy covenanted Scriptures as written and spoken concerning you in Christ Jesus precious name, Amen!

Luke 9:28-29 “And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering”.

Psalms 16:11 “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore“.

Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God“.

It’s time now to stop the well long enough static stay on the mount. The struggling and standstill in your path of progress. You can by today and through this month overturn THAT mountain to become a plain by engaging your life through the awesome acts of prayers. I mean, being transformed into the realm of the outpouring of God’s favour in everyway of your worlds.

This is the Month of engaging your life in a different dimension with our Father God. It’s not the acts of living BY Prayers, that is, whenever you like or when at trouble time only; but living life IN Prayers if you must have your worlds completely transform as Jesus did and experience in His earthly ministry with the Father God; which the Apostles also follow suits and experience God’s shekinah glory and presence to influence their worlds as they walk on this earth just as us today. We are either living in God’s presence of being IN PRAYERS to be transformed from glory to glory or we are conforming to the detects of our circumstances to relate and commune with our Father God whenever it pleases us. To be transformed is to win and succeed while to be conformed is to fail and be made captive by the foe of our faith in Christ Jesus.

Personal & National Prayer Walls: Do You Have One?  There’s the need to have one if you MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and difference in an Earthly life before God and mankind. Changing the course of human history by divinity, eternally is possible – Isaiah 38:1-8.
* When There’s No Rain (Productivity & Economic stunted) to thrive and for growth.
* When The Locusts (Economic recessions & Austerity Measures) invades & rules the land (Nations).
* When Pestilence (Divers kinds of continuous Diseases & Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.
“If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

IN PRAYER: The Antidote To National ills! -1 Timothy 2:1-4.
Awakening calls to changing the course of your nation through PRAYERS – It’s The Believer’s In Christ Inescapable & Supreme Task!  This should become the Personal & National Prayer Walls task to turn the hearts of kings & leaders if we must stop complaining and blaming Politicians who are human’s and limited in every phase to meet the needs of others beyond their self-centered and selfish ends. There’s the need to awaken to this TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect & the difference we care about in an earthly Life before our God, community and humanity. Making the changes, difference and the course of human history eternally is a must for the good of all in prayers.
Making a difference & impact through prayers as written:
* When There’s No Rain (Productivity & Economic stunted) to thrive and for growth.
* When The Locusts (Economic recessions & Austerity Measures) invades & rules the land (Nations).
* When Pestilence (Divers kinds of continuous Diseases & Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.
“If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place”  2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

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.

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“.

Herein Are Further Scriptural Reading To This Month OCTOBER Theme:

1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord”.

2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord“.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works“.

Romans 8:26-27 “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. 27 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“.

Colossians 1:13-14  “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“.

Mark 3:13-15 “And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils“

Luke 11:1-13 “And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”

However, this OCTOBER 2016 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 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.
