GREETINGS:

Shalom  & Kingdom Greetings! By the grace of Father God in Christ Jesus, my wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of the eight Month – AUGUST in the LORD’S year 2017 as He crown your life with the Year2017 themed – POSSIBIBLITIES. For this cause we’ve set out in grace to earnestly pray on your behalf through the year, in the awesome and covenant, gracious and graceful, precious name of our redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. We do also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter Publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2017.

As Month AUGUST is  the eight Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it’s considered as our month of exercising the spirit of taking charge and control, dominion, innocence, guiltless, sinless consciousness as once entrusted to Adam after God rested on the seventh day, though he failed God in Eden of Genesis. The number EIGHT speaks as NEW BEGINING day or NEW day of BEGINING  to exercise the rights and privileges entrusted to man to be God’s ambassador, embassy and representative on Earth; therefore, in the light with the Father God mandate in our REDEMPTION and by the reason of what our REDEEMER, Saviour and Lord  Christ has done for us in REDEMPTION, this Month AUGUST 2017 EDITION of the AFD is themed: AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! A month of “The PATH To A DIGNIFIED Life”.

To August is to be – graciously dignified, profoundly honoured, befitting status of Lord and Lordship, eminence, majestic and venerable. Therefore, to “August in the RIGHTEOUSNESS” of God which is of Christ, puts one in a unique pedestal of God’s eternal plans, purposes and pursuits. Upon this I welcome you to the PATH to August your life in – RIGHTEOUSNESS!

A Parallel to this same theme published in 2015 can be obtained in this link: 

http://www.42ndgenerationfoundation.com/achieversfaithdigest/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/AFD-August2015-Edition-Interactive.pdf

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

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

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

Here Is The Wisdom For Today For The Quest Above!
A Colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, more so, when God’s intent for your life is to be whole, complete and full in all that pertains to life and godliness, for which Christ came to pay the ransom for our WHOLESOME REDEMPTION. The knowing and understanding of this God’s concept of grace for us is our RIGHTEOUSNESS in Him by Christ Jesus, which enable and make us to ride steadily and readily to enact our God given plans, purposes and pursuits to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness no matter where and when and how. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible and dignified, and the knowing and understanding that the greater one lives in you.
I pray you Blessed! Be empowered to succeed, triumph and be victorious and in dominion as you adhered to ensure the holy writ purpose of God about you and I, as in this month AUGUST theme – AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! “The PATH To Live A DIGNIFIED Life” while awaiting His return. Amen!

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

** Receive Addition By God’s Righteousness – The Righteousness Which Is Of FAITH In Christ Jesus – Not Man’s Ordinance, Oblation, Creed And Customised Tradition of Bondage!

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 …For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)” Romans 10:1-6.

** In The Kingdom, Kings Rule & Reign – But Thrones Are Established By Righteousness!  To August – Reign & Rule – In Life As The REDEEMED Royal Priesthood That’s Made King & Priest Unto God – You Need To Be Established In The Righteousness Of God In Christ Jesus. Amen!

“It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness” Proverbs 16:12. 

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

“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 . . . 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“ 1 Peter 2:5, 9.

** The Work & Effect To AUGUST Your Life In Righteousness – PEACE, QUIETNESS & ASSURANCE Forever! Righteousness – the Kingdom streamline to AUGUST life, is the right of grace to stand upright in faith before Father God without fear, guilt, shame and to be undaunted by the accuser of the brethren, the devil.
The Scriptures indicates that the kingdom of God is not just food, drink and pleasures only, but Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost. When we seek the …kingdom of God firstly, and His righteousness, which is, His will, commanded deed and ways of doing & living life, ALL other things – food, drink, pleasures and more will be added unto us accordingly..
Righteousness works, promotes and enhances PEACE with God, self and others. PEACE – which means concord, agreement, harmony and a mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts. The resultant of righteousness is innermost quietness or resolve, assurance and exaltation.  I pray that as you resolve for righteousness, may you experience the work and effect of the grace of God in this regard.

“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17.

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

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.

“And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:18.

** Awaits You Is The CROWN of Righteousness – By The Righteous Judge: August Your Life To Earn It – Strive Righteously!
It’s awesome, gracious and graceful to stand before Father God’s presence, day by day until final day, without the sense of guilt, or inferiority or sin consciousness. That is to be a crown of the believer’s life.  There’s A CROWN of righteousness laid up and awaiting ALL who August their life in righteousness by – fighting the good fight of righteousness, finishing the good course of righteousness and keeping the faith of righteousness while on this side of the heavens as Apostle Paul affirmed to Received.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 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” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits” 2 Timothy 2:1-6.

** To Achieve Greatness With God’s Grace For Divine Favour: It’s The Grace That Reigns And Works Through The Righteousness of God In Christ Jesus – Nothing More, Nothing Less! There You Reign In Grace With Outpouring Favour of God. Anything otherwise is man’s oblation, creed, ordinance and traditions that leads to bondage at the end – which many are trapped inside today!

“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.) . . .21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.

** The Path To August A Dignified Life – It’s In God’s Presence: The Righteousness of God In Christ Jesus! It exalts, promotes, illuminates more and more, brighter and brighter until the dawn of the complete work of grace is perfected in us. For we saved, we are been save, and we shall be save.

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

“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people“ Proverbs 14:34.

** Let Your Path & Steps Be Ordered In Righteousness By The Lord: There You Can August Your Life With Light & Will Not Beg For Bread!

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” Psalms 37:23-25.

** Your Fulness In God Is In Christ Jesus, and He’s The Head And Above ALL Power & Authority In The Universe!

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power“ Colossians 2:9-10.

** You Are Complete And Completely Made Whole: spirit, soul & body, In Christ Jesus – Don’t Live or Think or Believe For Less Until Christ Returns!

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

** Communicate Your Faith In Order To Appropriate Your Being Complete – Whole And Perfected – In Christ. This You Can Do By The Acknowledging of Every Good Thing Done In You, Being Done In & Through You In Christ Jesus! Amen.

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6.

** Don’t Be Mistaken By Any For Whatsoever – You Are Complete & Made Righteous In Christ Jesus In God! That Settles It!

“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” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

“For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words . . . And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:1-4, 10.

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to ever…y one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:1-13.

However, this Month AUGUST 2017 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

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

sept_2016_afd-theme_afd-three-266x160Greetings:
 Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen! I gladly welcome all visitors and existing browsers in the into SEPTEMBER 2016. This month Achievers’ FAITH Digest is entitled: ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST! “Power. Riches. Wisdom. Strength. Honour. Glory. Blessing”.

September2016, is the 9th of the Calender Months!  It reminds me of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith character, behavioural and conduct enabling – (Galatians 5:22-25); It reminds me of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in ministerial & spiritual life demands – (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).  It thus means also a month of wholeness and completeness since nine means perfection in a sense – (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13).  Therefore, you have All it takes to make BE. SEPTEMBER2016 is the Month to ‘Enact Your REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS In Christ’ in ALL that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS!  I am emboldened to announce to you, that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ, until you ENACT, that is, cause them to BE into life reality SCRIPTURALLY. Make September your Scriptural Month to Enact your redemptive rights in Christ.

It’s my prayer and earnest desire that you will come to the place of ensuring that your redemption rights and privileges in Christ are never undermined, but actualised in all that pertains to you in doing life and enjoying a godly living. Hence there’s the need to crave for the knowledge and understanding that will enable you  ENACT YOUR REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST over all things and to live dignified; more so, that you will eventually locate yourself in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit to achieve your desired set goals in life as you follow the path to dignity in POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR and BLESSING.

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; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth; 11 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; 12 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“.

Revelation 1:5-6 “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.“

John 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”.

Philemon 4-6 “I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus“.

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free, because ones dominion, freedom and effectual faith in life is a product of ones knowledge as enacted in these scriptures – Daniel 11:3, John 8:32, Philemon 1:6 and Romans 6:14 . Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers.

Herein Are Further Scriptural Reading To This Month SEPTEMBER Theme:

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. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 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, 8 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. 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: 10 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“.

2 Corinthians 8:10-12 “And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. 12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not“.

Ephesians 1:3, 7 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”.

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 . . . 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace“.

Galatians 3:6-9 “Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham“.

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

Genesis 12:1-3 “Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed“.

Galatians 4:1-4 “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ”

However, this SEPTEMBER 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”.

THE EAGLE WAY

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about THE EAGLE and EAGLET, that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is failure in disguise; in same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a complete unprecedented disaster in waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating it’s kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET to become another KING of the Sky. It’s a believe that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY to BECOME and to MAKE others to be on the sky. That’s the act that makes the Eagle to turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is same, whether in family, ministry, business, career, politics and in every endeavour of human acts of doing life.

In the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of PRODUCTIVITY and reproducing ones kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore the EAGLE WAY! is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicates to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS; and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to ones plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavour of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind, the Holy Spirit, He will glide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“For unto us a CHILD IS BORN, unto us a SON IS GIVEN (MADE): and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace . . .” Isaiah 9:6-7 (Emphasis Mine) (Galatians 4:1-7).

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and look WELL to thy HERDS” Proverbs 27:23.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before kings (Honour/Dignity); he shall not STAND before MEAN (Obscure) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine)..

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS (SHEPHERD) according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15 (Emphasis Mine).

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, LOVEST thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP” John 21:15-17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

Earning Kingdom Honour

By Leave a Comment

Hebrews 5:1-2 “For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.”

 Hebrews 8:3 “For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.”

Kingdom honour is not cheap. It’s not a give away nor what you can just purchase. Kingdom honour it’s of service and needs to be earned – Mark 10:35-45. When you do the work that begats honour, God will honour you. There is no substitute to humility if you desire God’s kind of honour.

God will promote through man, whom He opens his eyes to see you as His chosen and called out one. Hence the high priest taken from among you for honour is the one that’s given to offering something. The Idlers, arrogant and wishful thinkers and admirers have no chance. Humility in service of the kingdom is the key to kingdom honour. Honour in the kingdom is bestowed with the grace, mercy and peace of God.

You have to EARN HONOUR to have it bestowed!

Doing Exploits Worthy of REMEMBRANCE

Achievers’ Essence Of Being Faithful In All of Life’s Labour

 

Daniel 11:32 “. . . but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits”

Malachi 3:16-18 “Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not”

Matthew 26:13 “Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her”

Greetings

Shalom & kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. It gives me great pleasure and joy to welcome you into this precious month AFD of September edition as we consider and take stock of our life in many issues even as we begin to see the year come to a close.

September 2009 Edition

 

I specially welcome you to this month of September as we examine the essence of “Doing Exploits Worthy Of Remembering”. The month of September is always very crucial to me on a yearly basis. It’s because it re-echoes and reminds me of three important foods for thought every year. The first and the second reminder are my birthdays – spiritual birth and natural birth.

The spiritual birth has a lot of importance when I remember the circumstances surrounding my salvation and how being born again has transformed not just my life but that of my family and relatives. My natural birthday has equally made me come to consider and reason life as the Psalmist – Psalm 90:12. This makes me re-evaluate and reflect not necessarily how old I am but how well I have lived and want to make up and strengthen my life to be more meaningful by appreciating the graces of God with time – Eph. 5:16; Ecc. 8:5.

The third bit however is that the month of September is a turn into the months of the MBER’s – SepteMBER, OctoBER, NoveMBER, and DeceMBER. This signifies the closing of the year to usher in another year and I have to re-evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up in order to end with testimonies of God’s grace on me.

However, above all, September being the ninth month of the year engages me with each of the nine spiritual fruit and gifts of the blessed Holy Spirit as in Galatians 5:22-23 and 1 Corinthian 12:4-11 and how much they influence my life and my day to day lifestyle as a child of God and as God’s ministerial servant. In here I can receive inspiration, revelation and empowerment that formulate the graces of God to build my life and faith in God.

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God in light of my food for thought, you will find inspiration, revelation and empowerment in this edition of – “Doing Exploits Worthy Of REMEMBRANCE” and our God will find a place in His heart to record your name and make a memorial of you in Jesus’ name, amen. Therefore, as in Ecclesiastics 9:10, maximise every single opportunity that comes your way to make an investment worthy of Remembrance; be it  in regards to finance, talent, time, physique, ideals, and as you may be led by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, do it with all graces of faith within you. This is an achievers’ opportunity to create a remarkable print in life.

REMEMBRANCE – Doing Exploits

Daniel 11:32 “. . . but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits”

James 1:22-25 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed”

Proverbs 22:28-29 “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men”

The book of Daniel indicates that as many who claim to know God should have two characteristics. They are to:

  • Be Strong in God’s grace.
  • Do exploits with the strength of their grace.

The reason being that there’s a book of REMEMBRANCE as in Malachi 3:16-18 where every record of our lifestyle and investment with time in the kingdom on this side of heaven is. That’s why James 1:22-25, says we should be Doers of every instructed Word of God not mere hearers or be dull of hearing as it says also in Hebrews 5:11-4. This is not a joke.

Doing exploits entails – taking advantage of every opportunity, making use, utilising and capitalising – every avenue to make progress and unfold the manifold wisdom of God that is available to you in order to achieve meaningful and indelible things that are worth living for.

Proverbs 22:28-29 reminds us of upholding the previous memorials of our Fathers and heroes in faith, and the need to walk, work and live diligently in order to share or partake in the graces and  blessings of kings and not that of failures – Revelation 5:9-10. Diligence is imperative if we must share in the things that please God. Doing the Word that’s worth remembering comes from a life of diligence. Not just a once in a life time event but a consistent life of diligent work as God gives us the opportunity. It doesn’t have to be a very big deed all the time, but faithfulness even in the little – Hebrews 11:6; Luke 16:0-2. It means doing tangible things that make an impact and leave a lasting – eternal – effect in the lives of those around you and the good of others who may not necessarily be close to you.

REMEMBRANCE – God’s Nature

Malachi 3:16-8 “Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not”

Matthew 26:13 “Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her”

Hebrews 6:10 “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”

Remembrance is of God’s nature. He is not an ungrateful or unrighteous Father who forgets our work and labour of love towards His name at every given opportunity of our life towards others. For our God is a people-oriented FATHER.

Our God in heaven is a God of remembrance.  A God who keeps record in that He has a book of remembrance or memorial for good to every work we do in life as His children and achievers’ in life. Hence He rewards His own for He is neither a taskmaster nor an unrewarding father as accounted unto men on earth. He is a God of infinite justice.

Salvation, the bedrock of our Christian foundation, is an act of grace through faith done in Christ Jesus for us – 1 Cor.3:11; Eph. 2:8-9. But the Crown or reward is by the working of our Faith in God through diligence – Hebrews 11:6. Diligence means a steady effort of good work, honest hard work. It also means being faithful, consistently devoted to a task or belief in accomplishing set goals without wavering. It’s for this good work that Jesus said in Matthew 26:3, acknowledging that the woman’s (Mary of Bethany) precious alabaster ointment poured on him shall be a memorial – worth remembering – in the proclaiming of the gospel.

James 2:14-26 and 1 Corinthians 3:9-23, indicate the power and effect of good work, because God will remember and reward all good work that’s worth it. In the New Testament of the Holy write – The Bible – God has laid down the principle of Faith for all as it affects the blessings of His people. To the Sinner or the lost, He offers them SALVATION; and to the Saved in Christ and faithful doer of the good work of Faith in the kingdom, He offers such REWARDS.

  • Salvation is a free gift of God – John 4:9; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; whereas Rewards are earned by the works of Faith – Matthew 10:42; Luke 9:7; 1 Corinthian 9:24-25; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Revelation 2:2,10; 22:2.
  • Salvation is a present possession – Luke 7:50; John 3:36; 5:24; 6:47; whereas Rewards are both – a present and future attainment (possession) – Mark 10:28-30; 1 Timothy 4:8; 2 Tim 4:8; Romans 14:10-12.

Our God is at work to make you a jewel of memorial as He promises that as you are His, that your services in the kingdom shall be rewarded. Your name is written in the lamb memorial book of life – REMEMBRANCE!

 

REMEMBRANCE – Vessel of Honour

2 Timothy 2:9-2 “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”

Malachi 2:16-18 “Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not”

2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him . . .”

Acts 10:34-36 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)”

Our God is in search of vessels to use in His kingdom service and to honour. He is not seeking for ornaments to just do His kingdom service. God’s eyes run to and fro upon the face of the earth today, seeking for that person or people He will make strong to do exploits on his behalf and then honour them. In that He is not a respecter of persons, therefore everyone in the kingdom has all opportunity to make their way to the place of REMEMBRANCE where God can engrave them memorable.

In the kingdom of God there are various kind of vessels – some Gold, silver, bronze, wood etc. What is important is not who you are but your readiness to be used of God to enable Him to honour you. God is in search of vessels to honour and not those that feel that they can get honour for themselves. He wants to make a Jewel of implacable honour of you, in you and through you.

Are you then a vessel to be honoured or an ornament (self-made) or vessel void of honour that comes from the uncreated creator – God? Holiness is God’s nature, but righteousness is our right standing (doing) imputed in us by God through Christ Jesus to enable us to have the necessary moral goodness to do good works – 2 Cor. 5:8-21. We can only be remembered here on earth and the heavens by the good work of faith we have done in life.

REMEMBRANCE – The Request

Nehemiah 13:14, 22, 29, 31 “Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof . . . Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy . . . Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites . . . And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good”

Deuteronomy 7:7-9 “The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations”

Hebrews 6:10 “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”

Revelation 5:8-10 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. 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”

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

Revelation 8:3-4 “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand”

By God’s grace I have come to know that our God is good and He is a Father who is absolutely challenged and dumbfounded when a demand is placed on Him according to His word. You will always see it all through the scriptures that He will respond swiftly to honour and clear His name for good. He seeks for the vessels which know no limitations and have no adulteration to make them strong on earth and authenticate the glory of His word upon their life. He is a faithful God, who keeps His covenant and wants to shower his love on all who love him and keep His word even unto all generations. Let’s now examine some living memory of God’s faithfulness in REMEMBRANCE:

1. Nehemiah – Request for Self & Others

Nehemiah 13:14, 22, 29, 31 “Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof . . . Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy . . . Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites . . . And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good”.

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

Nehemiah knowing what was available in God’s covenant for himself and God’s people, placed a demand on the almighty father concerning the situation they found themselves in. The Father God was compelled according to His Word to act accordingly because He could see the work and labour of faith and their thriving of grace to restore the altar of God’s glory in the land; and as they built the fallen walls of Jerusalem and restore worship and services in the temple.

Your good deeds can be an avenue of strong prayers to make the heavens answer to your appeals in time of pressured needs – Hebrews 4:14-16; Rev. 5:8; 8:3-4.

2. Jesus – Request As Earthly Ministry Ends

John 17:1-5 “These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was”

 

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who in the days of his humanity, like Nehemiah placed a demand on the FATHER God to honour and glorify him on earth. The entire chapter of John seventeen indicates a long stretched prayer request of our Lord Jesus Christ, but began with a prayer of demand to the Father, to look at his work on earth and glorify him. And the Father God eventually answered.

In the same Spirit of our righteous consciousness of the Holy Spirit, you can place a demand on God according to His Word in line with the works that you have done by the grace of God – Rev. 2:2, 19; Hebrews 4:14-16.

3. Hezekiah – Request At Point of Death

Isaiah 38:3 ”And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore”

Rev. 8:3-4 “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand”

Rev. 2:2, 19 “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: I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first”

What is touching about Hezekiah’s case is the way that God remembered him at his request even though God’s verdict had been for Hezekiah to die. The parallel scriptures of Hezekiah’s case are – Isaiah 38:1-22 and 2 Kings 20:1-11 – they have it on record that he was sick unto death (physical) and God has even sent in a prophet to affirm the verdict of death sentence (spiritual) and that he should put his house in order.

In man’s understanding all hope is then gone, even a Doctor’s prediction is enough for some to start organising the kind of burial they will have, how their pension and savings should be managed and an immediate writing of a will for many matters that would be controversial after their death and many other plans.

But Hezekiah refused for his life to be cut short and refused to buy into the idea that God gives and takes away blessed be His name as Job did in his time of trouble. Hezekiah took advantage of his – Labour of love, work of grace etc – to call upon the God of REMEMBERANCE in an intensive act of prayer. The scriptures affirm that God answered, healed Hezekiah (physical) and restored him to fellowship with Him (spiritual) and gave him more years to live. What an awesome challenge and privilege of faith at work! I can perceive Hezekiah declaring to himself from:

 

Psalm 118:17-21 “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation”

This is the reason why Jesus set up His Church and wants us to be a member of it in particular. It is also for this reason that the Bible says in James 5:13-16 that when we are sick, afflicted or troubled we should call upon the elders of the Church and they should pray and even when our situation is as result of sin, it shall be forgiven us. This is the joy of belonging to a structured local Bible faith Church with a Shepherd – a Pastor. I promise you, the Heavens will stand still to answer their prayers on your behalf because of the worth of REMEMBRANCE placed upon the Church of Christ by God.

4. Dorcas – Request by Brethren

Acts 9:36-43 “Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner”

 

The scripture records that Dorcas was a woman full of good works and almsdeed in her life and later died. Her good deeds were obvious that when Apostle Peter was called upon concerning her case, Peter was so moved and touched with compassion hearing the testimonies of her deeds. The recipient brethren of Dorcas works of good deed, presented to Apostle Peter her works in their life.

Upon this, Apostle Peter was compelled by great compassion to request for the heavens to REMEMBER her good works and bring her back to life as the brethren wanted her back. The Father God instantly responded to their request and brought her back to life. You can see a similar scenario when Peter was in Prison, intensive prayers were made by the Church on His behalf and God showed His outstretched arm of deliverance in their midst –Acts 12:1-19.

 

I pray that you resolve in you to do such an indelible and tangible work of grace in the midst of God’s people, in that local Church where you belong; to the point that they can take the challenge of your life as did for Dorcas in the Acts of the Apostles.

 

5. Cornelius – Request By God

Acts 10:1-4 “There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.”

 

Revelation 5:8-10 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. 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”

 

To some people, especially among the religious and theologians, for one to request God to remember one in prayers for the good work of Faith is an extreme request. But when God is the one who is enacting ones good work as a memorial – Worthy of Remembrance – it goes to show and authenticate that the word of God in Malachi 3:6-8 is true indeed.

The scriptures recorded that the Lord God affirmed that Cornelius prayers and the good almsdeeds he has done, has come before the heavens. And the Lord resolved to make the door of His grace open unto him and his family; and the Lord went forth by using Apostle Peter as an instrument to bring this act of REMEMBERANCE to pass. The whole account can be found in Acts chapter ten.

I make bold to let you know that our God is good and faithful. He is righteous and grateful to reward every act of goodwill done in His name toward humanity. He is much more compelled to reward all work of Faith done about His kingdom plans, purposes and pursuits and to the household of Faith, His Church – Hebrews 6:10; Galatians 6:7-10.

6. Mary Of Bethany – At The Request of Christ

Matthew 26:6-13 “Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her”

 

There is nothing so amazing and awesome as when one is being honoured and endorsed for all to know and to keep a memorial of that honour because of the good work one has done. It becomes more majestic when ones deeds become a legacy which the heavens approve and authorise to be proclaimed whenever the gospel is preached.

This was the case of one woman – Mary of Bethany – who poured a precious alabaster box ointment upon the feet of Jesus signifying his burial. It was so timely that the religious people of those days including some of His disciples could not understand nor comprehend the mystery at that moment apart from their selfish thinking on why such precious ointment was poured on Jesus feet. Jesus on the spot affirmed the good deed she had done and declared that her work of Faith shall be a memorial and her deed would be remembered wherever the gospel was proclaimed.

You can be the same. Doing exploits that are significant, tangible and indelible in the kingdom should be the core pursuit of any child of God intending to become an Achiever. This is for those who desire their work of faith to bring forth the worth of REMEMBRANCE. I pray that the good Lord acknowledge your good work and affirm you with the worth of REMEMBRANCE.

REMEMBRANCE – Steadfastness & Faithfulness Reward

1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord”

2 Chronicle 15:7 “Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded”

Mark 10:28-30 “Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life”

As I ponder through the scriptures I have come to know that God rewards faithfulness and steadfastness in His kingdom, demonstrated by each of His children. The scriptures above help to sum up that volunteering, devoting, investing and labouring in the kingdom of God pays a great dividend. There is a place of remembrance for good deeds of faith on this side of heaven firstly and here after when our work on earth is done.

Be excited to know that God’s plans are to make you happy and no man can stop you except you choose to be stopped – Jeremiah 29:11. Being faithful and steadfast is all that is required to get you on the pathway to God’s heart. You need to be strong and very courageous; don’t let your hand be weak but ever strong to do the exploits that will register your godly effort in the kingdom – Joshua 1:1-9.

FINALLY – Eternal Remembrance

Ecclesiastics 9:10 “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”

Matthew 25:31-46 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal”

God is rewarding every good labourer in the Kingdom. In as much as we desire the heavens to answer our prayers immediately there is the other side of life beyond our life here on earth. That is the eternal life with eternal remembrance at the day of the Lord when all matters of life come to an end.

Salvation in terms of – Being Born Again – does not bring about REMEMBRANCE because it is not about what we do but what God has done. However, our good work alone can’t make us have our name in the book of remembrance except we have being born again – obtained salvation. But after we have become God’s own children then our labour of love, work of faith and deeds of grace, become valuable in the kingdom. This then becomes a matter recorded in the book of remembrance by the Lord God. This is more than a mere act of charity. It involves your continuous partnering with God until the day of reckoning. It’s not about accumulating achievement, it’s about affecting life positively – that is – making an impact to give hope, faith and love to others.

Today, I challenge you to make bold your desire from the Lord as I have done over and over in my life as touching many issues and seeing God’s finger of grace in sorting them out. Approach God’s presence boldly with whatsoever is intimidating you – sickness, family breakdown, troubled relationships, business setbacks, financial indebtedness and ministerial hangovers etc. This do in Faith and our Lord God of remembrance will surely visit and answer you accordingly – Isaiah 43:26; Hebrew 6:10; 2 Chronicle 15:7.

I pray that our good God grant you an abundant entrance of grace to labour for a reward that’s WORTHY of REMEMBRANCE not only for this time but for the rest of your life. Have an amazing, awesome and majestic daily grace and provisions through this month of September, while working worthy in the vacation wherein you are called of God in Jesus precious name, amen.

COVENANT ACTS OF REDEMPTION

A commemoration Month of celebrating our REDEMPTION from sin:

“Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Death”

Rev. 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 honor, and glory, and blessing’’.

No matter our circumstances today, the fact and the truth remains that Jesus had paid for our SIN and liberated us from SIN and its Effect – Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual death. You can walk with your head up, for you are no longer a captive but a victor, not a failure but a success, not a loser but a winner, not a mistake of mistaken Identity or a coincidence but the fearfully, wonderfully custom design in the very image of your maker- The almighty God.

Ephesians 1:3, 7 ‘’Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ . . . In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace’’.

Ephesians 2:4-7 ‘’But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by (grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus’’

In Revelation 5:9-11, we can conclude that Jesus did not only die for us but received on our behalf the seven (7) mentioned life issues indicated this book of Revelation. Also, God has given you Beauty for Ashes, Oil of joy for Mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3). You are what you are because of what you believe of God and of yourself in Him and in all that Christ has done.

I strongly challenge you today to set your belief in focus, for that will affect how you commemorate and celebrate your “faith” in your Redemption in Christ as shown below:

  • Jesus has been made unto us REDEMPTION, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SANCTIFICATION and WISDOM (1 Corinthians 1:30)
  • He became our SIN that we can be God’s righteousness in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21)
  • He became poor that we might be Rich in Him (2 Corinthians 8:9)
  • He was condemned that we might be justified (Romans 5: 1-21)
  • He bore our sickness and diseases that we might enjoy health (1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:45)
  • We’ve been forgiven and translated from the power of death into the power of life and peace (Colossians 1: 13-14, Ephesians 1:7, 2:1-22 and Hebrew 2: 14-15)
  • For you are more than conquerors. This is true anytime, any day, anywhere and in any circumstances (Romans 8: 37, 2 Corinthians 2: 14-16).
  • Jesus received and restored on our behalf: Power for our fear, Riches for our Poverty, Wisdom for our ignorance and foolishness, Strength for our weakness and limitations, Honour for our reproach, Glory for our Shame and Blessings for all our curses.(Revelation 5:12)

You can make these above mentioned acts of redemption become yours as you pray them into your life until they become seated in your spirit and a lifestyle of daily faith confession and consciousness. Therefore, ARISE! Let’s Commemorate, Celebrate Our Redemption and live FREE for this cause we are saved.
