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 promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God. I pray that God revitalize and rejuvenates you and all that is about you, so that you may become the very best of which God has created you to be in your daily journey of Destiny Molding, Life Transformation, Dignity Restoration and Kingdom Faith Establishment, Community Social Cohesion and Enrichment and Development, Success Empowerment & Fulfillment, Grace Impartation and more, while awaiting the Lord’s Return. 

Until then, have a crown Year 2016, being our year of – The GREATER Life: A year of “Colouring, Thriving & Blossoming Your WORLDS By The Greater Life In Christ Jesus”.

In His Kingdom Business For His Glory,

AFD_NOVEMBER_2013_-_2John 15:12-14 “ This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”

1 John 4:4, 17 “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world . . . Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.“

1 John 5:3-5 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?“

Colossians 4:17 “And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.“

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. “

Romans 8:1-2 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.“

Romans 8:9-16 “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God“

James 3:15-18 “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.“

Romans 5:17, 21 “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.“

Psalms 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.“

John 14:14-16 “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 5 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever“

Galatians 5:22-25 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.“

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

James 4:13-17 “Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

Luke 12:15 (13-21) “. . . And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully . . .”

Ecclesiastes 9:9-12 “Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 11 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 favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12 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.”

FEBRUARY_2013_THEMEShalom! Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord & Saviour King – Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. With majestic privilege, I gladly welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this Month of FEBRUARY 2013, which is THEMED: CALLED & ANOINTED FOR A CAUSE! Believe it, Receive It & Live It. It’s time to activate, arise and go forth to fulfil that cause wherein you are called and anointed which is within you, upon you and for you.

“God does not call the equipped, He equip the called. Meaning, He anoint only the called to accomplish His plan, purpose and pursuit in them. Those who are available not those who have ability. For men ability and self equipping are filthy rages before God. Every call requires an Anointing, very anointing carries a RESPONSIBILITY“

Hence, this month of FEBRUARY is your month to ACTIVATE the anointing of God in you, in other to enhance and to achieve your God given kingdom goals, For therein you are called in all things that pertain to life and godliness. Hence some of our scriptures for the theme reads –

John 18:36-37 “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 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.”

Acts 10:38 “That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”

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.”

Luke 4:18-21 “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, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 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. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. ”

Isaiah 61:1-3 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

1 Corinthians 1:1-3, 24, 26-31 “Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their’s and our’s: 3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 1:21 “Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God”

1 John 2:20, 24, 26-27 “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. ”

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 the sicknesses, and to cast out devils: ”

John 15:16 “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

Revelation 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”

1 Peter 2:5, 9 “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”

Isaiah 10:27 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

John 14:16-17 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I am leaving you with this AFD FEBRUARY  2013 Edition newsletter for your perusal and as a guide of grace to give you food for thought indicating how the theme of the month will be approach. I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on them in prayers (Acts 20:32).

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 the sicknesses, and to cast out devils: ”

John 15:16 “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

Revelation 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”

1 Peter 2:5, 9 “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”

Isaiah 10:27 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

John 14:16-17 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”

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
