Make God’s Good Happen To You And Others In Family Each Passing Day: Speak Graciously And Gracefully Well And Whole To Your Family!

Life is surely the beautiful and lovely creation of God; and it’s short and timed for mortals, that none should be mean and obscure to others about it.

Therefore, speaking graciously is living well and whole; it’s living free in grace; and it’s living lively and lovely. Living graciously and gracefully, it’s sowing living words of life into situations and circumstances. It’s not about being positive, it’s about using Scriptural instructions to define your life in the midst of a hate and evil world’s by what God has done in us by Christ Jesus. Amen! (Galatians 1:3-5).

Make today someone else in the family good by speaking well and whole to them and their circumstances even in the midst of unwarranted climate and atmosphere of wickedness and ease to revenge.

Make today their God day of grace, mercy and love because it’s God’s day for you and them to rejoice and be glad in it. For what you make happen for others good, God will surely make happen to you and all in the family.

If you do not have any gracious, graceful and awesome words to speak to someone and their circumstances, it’s best to zip your lips than being negative, mean and obscure in words on the day that the Lord God had made for the good of ALL.

Speak well and whole to your spouse, children and parent’s; as CHARITY begins at home (family) as widely known, you can extend this gesture to neighbour, employee, employer, colleague’s, in-laws, friend’s and even to your hungry and thirsty enemy’s. Do you mean Enemy’s also? Yes. Speak well to them for your own good.

ENJOY YOUR DAY IN GRACE!

“SAY ye to the RIGHTEOUS, that it shall be WELL with him: for they shall eat the FRUIT of their doings” Isaiah 3:10.

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 Death and life are in the power of the TONGUE: and they that love it shall EAT THE FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” Psalms 118:24.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, BLESS them that curse you, do GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:43-48.

MOTHERHOOD TRIUMPH – If I WERE A Mother

By Leave a Comment

 

“Inspiring And Igniting Godly  Women To Be Achievers And Live Triumphantly In Christ Jesus”

This book is looking at Motherhood from a Biblical perspective. What the Bible teaches on motherhood and how to be a better parent. It’s a way for those who are not mothers or women even, to appreciate the mothers in their lives by understanding the enormous challenges that they may go through or be going through. It has a clear concise topics and written in a didactic way. There is an opportunity to do further study using the Bible Study outlines on the book.

Spiritually healthy families result in healthy societies. The way families are nurtured is what this book is about. Present social problems are due to family breakdown and as much as it’s not just up to mothers to be responsible for this – this book covers and addresses children, husbands and fathers alike too. It’s written from a godly perspective for all who quest after God in their affairs and ways of doing life by it. The core issues that affects motherhood and parenting in general have always remain the same despite changing times in society. This book just tailored those issues in the language of today’s society.

I would like readers to know and understand that the Bible covers every area and aspects of their lives; and for any quest in life, answers can be found in the Bible. Also, that it is best to know what the Word of God says about the experience of motherhood and in this case being shown from the perspective of one who is not a mother. I learnt lots basically from my mother, and from many women and mothers I have being privilege to be their Pastor; more so, from numerous incredible mothers and grandmothers I have had the privilege to be close to in cause of time.

‘I DO PRAY THAT YOU MAY ALWAYS REMEMBER: THAT BEING A MOTHER IS NOT NECESSARY ABOUT WHAT YOU GAVE UP TO HAVE A CHILD, BUT WHAT YOU’VE GAINED IN AND FROM HAVING ONE’

IF I WERE A MOTHER!

– Empowering Godly Woman To Become Achiever –

Luke 1:45 ‘’And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.’’

Prov. 14:1 ‘’Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. ‘’

Prov. 24:3-4 ‘’Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.’’

Prov. 29:15 ‘‘The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.’’

Blessed Mother Day!I bring you special and awesome greetings in the precious name of our saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in whom we live, we move and we have our being – Amen! It beholds God in His grace to call you His people – A mother, a godly woman, an achiever. It’s my prayer that by this special edition of the Achievers’ Faith Digest you might be inspired to aspire and not expire; that you might be enlightened, receive revelation and graceful empowerment by the spirit of God – to the end you might excel, your dreams and aspirations in life might be fruitful and you can be a blessing to yourself, family, humanity and posterity without hindrances. I also pray that you will find the goodwill of God to celebrate the love that the special time brings on– MOTHERS DAY!

MOTHERS DAY

Thanks to God for Mothers’ Day! For the smiles and virtues it brings on – Mothers – faces on this day. Looking through the happenings in the world today – a time supposedly to be of mans ‘great’ invention, discovery and economic empowering – has given us neither peace nor harmony but trauma in all human phases of existence. Today, killings and wars go on our streets, uncertainties in our nations, our world with political and economic instability, family unrest and breakdown, relational unfaithfulness, generational decadence, business and career setbacks etc. just to name a few. All this being is in pursuit of answers to human problems. Our world cries with great thirst and hunger, seeking for who’s – Mothers’ Child – will quench her yearnings, desires and aspirations. This is the reason that Mothers Day – a yearly set apart day to appreciate and celebrate Motherhood in the Christian faith world – which I consider to be very vital to all mankind irrespective of religious beliefs, race or generation, although dates differ in nations – March 22, ’09 in United Kingdom.

Am specially constrained by the inspiration of the blessed Holy Spirit to remind or inform you that you are – SPECIAL. Listening to the sayings of the Holy Spirit as in Luke 1:45, the Holy Spirit wants to let you know again and again that God is determined to bring to fruitfulness and fulfilment all things He has spoken to you, or is speaking or will speak to you about as you believe in His words.

To be a mother is an act of grace. Any woman can be a Mum, but only a special heartfelt woman lives beyond been a mum but – a Mother! Motherhood is special and much more vital when you are a godly woman whose earnest desire is to please God by seeing God’s purposes come to pass in your life, family and humanity. That is when your whole life totally depends on God’s guidance, not mere wishful thoughts and concepts of human ideology. Not the consideration of God as a last resort after other efforts and trials have been sorted and made outside Him as if He does not exist at all. God wants to bring about a glorious today and better tomorrow to our generation and posterity and motherhood has a very major part to play in bringing it to fruitfulness. Will you Let God?

IF I WERE A MOTHER – A godly and blessed woman

Luke 1:45 ‘’And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.’’

1 Peter 3:5 – 9 ‘’For after this manner in the old time the holy (godly) women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves . . . and as being heirs together of the grace of life . . . Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.’’

Galatians 3:13-14 ‘’Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.’’

The context scriptures above indicate one primary thing – Blessed or Blessings. The blessed mother is the woman who has entered a covenant of grace made available by our Lord Jesus Christ for all who will believe in Him. To be – Blessed – means to be empowered to: succeed, achieve, become, bring forth or bring about positive results in life. When someone says to you – be blessed or God bless or God’s blessings – they are invariably declaring you to be empowered to succeed. For the Achievers woman – Mother – is empowered by God to succeed in life endeavours as a – woman, wife and mother. It’s a fact in society that not all mothers are wives but one thing is certain they are called woman, mother to a child or children. A godly Christian woman is blessed to achieve greatness in life and have good success (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; 3John2).

The godly Christian woman – Mother- is called to inherit a blessing as found in 1 Peter 3:9. The godly Christian woman – mother – is redeemed from curses to a blessed life as in Galatians 3:13-14. The godly Christian woman is blessed simply because she is a Believer and believes in the entirety of God’s word and promises concerning her in matters of life as in Luke 1:45. If I were a mother – godly woman – I will live in the grace of God and in the consciousness of the blessedness God has afforded me in Christ Jesus as a woman – redeemed and blessed. This act of consciousness in our daily life will liberate and give freedom to you, family, church, society and all and sundry.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – Excellence in a virtuous woman

Proverb 31:10‘’ Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.’’

Proverb 31:29‘’Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.’’

Proverb 14:1 ‘’Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.’’

Proverb 24:3-4‘’Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.’’

To excel means – to do well, to achieve, to be exceptional, to surpass, above limit, to stand out or be outstanding and superior while virtue has to do with good behaviour, noble character, moral goodness and good qualities in life etc.

If I were a woman, my priority would be to use my God given blessedness in my life to excel in virtue. The proverbs thirty one woman happens to be a mother with such an outstanding virtue that is worth knowing and living for if we must bring about the desired change in our life, family and society at large. One key issue of this proverb woman is that she is not like any kind of woman but an excellent woman in virtue – Goodness. She is blessed – empowered to succeed – and she lives this out. I believe that if I was a woman, I would be the new woman for the new Church.

There is a heart cry today in families, the church and society at large for a true motherhood. Betrayers are found in homes, the church and society today where children have been abandoned and some lack proper parental care hence they live with broken spirits and emotional heartbreak. It’s become a terrible and damaging issue of life today that the rate of divorce going on in Christian FAITH life is heartbreaking when considering that the child or children involved become the victims of two elephants fighting. These acts of parental instability as a result of  – Mothers or/and Fathers – ends up damaging the child’s ability to trust in God fully in spite of the respective individual explanations which they can’t comprehend. This individualistic selfishness for whatever reasons only ends in crushing the child faith in God. Unlike the Proverbial mother whose daily effort is to excel in virtue – goodness – by the blessedness – empowerment – she has received to succeed.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – Will Pursue Grace To Excel

John 15:5 ‘’I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.’’

Ephesians 2:8-10 ‘’For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.’’

2Timothy 1:9 ‘’Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.’’

Excelling in virtue is an act of the grace of God made available to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace is God’s kindness shown towards people because He loves them; Grace is the enablement from on high which is beyond human ability. Grace is God’s free gift given to us without our involvement. GRACE is – God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. This means that for a virtuous mother to achieve and succeed, she needs the grace available from the Godhead:

2 Corinthians 13:14 ‘’’The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.’’

Excelling in virtue as a godly woman – mother – one needs to make Jesus Christ the Lord of their life; the Holy Spirit has to be your general overseer and the Father God has to be positioned to be Father indeed in all matters of doing life. Excelling in virtue is about doing life for the good of our wellbeing, family, church and society at large.

IF I WERE A MOTHER – godly, blessed & virtues woman – my passion daily will be to  pursue God continually and to ask of Him for the grace to excel in virtues in becoming as  (not like) the Proverb thirty-one woman in these respects:

1.Be VITAL as Deborah. Proverb 31:11; Judges 4 & 5.

2.Be an INTERCESSOR as Anna. Proverb 31:18b; Luke 2:36-38.

3.Be RESOURCESFUL as Dorcas. Proverb 31:11-15, 17-18; 24, 27; Acts 9:36-42.

4.Be TEMPERATE as Esther. Proverb 31:26; Esther 1-9.

5.Be UNFAILING & DEPENDABLE as Ruth. Proverb 31:11, 28; Ruth 1-4.

6.Be OPTIMISTIC & POSITIVE as Mary Magdalene. Proverb 31:16, 25; John 20:1-18.

7.Be UNIQUE, SIMPLE & ELEGANT as Mary. Proverb 31:22, 29; Luke 1:26-33.

8.Be SUBMISSIVE as Sarah. Proverb 31:15, 23, 25; Genesis 18:11-24; 1 peter 3:1-6.

9.Be WISE as Lydia. Prov. 31:16, 25; Acts 16:14-15.

10. Be an OVERCOMER as Jael. Proverb 31:25; Judges 4 & 5.

11. Be MOTHERLY as Hannah. Proverb 31:15, 21; 29:15; 22:6, 15; 23:14; 1 Samuel 1-3.

12. Be AFFECTIONATE as the Shunammite Woman. Proverb 31:20, 26; 2 Kings 4:8-37.

13. Be NICE as Abigail. Proverb 31:12; 1 Samuel 25:2-18, 23, 32.

14. Be FAITHFUL & EXEMPLARY as Lois & Eunice. Proverb 31:23; 2 Timothy 1:3-6.

Finally: IF I WERE A MOTHER – What else is there as virtue!

Galatians 2:22-23 ‘’ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.’’

Philippians 4:8 ‘’Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.’’

The above scriptures in context are other great virtues which can enhance the grace for motherhood. IF I WERE A MOTHER – godly, blessed & virtues woman – I will trust in the grace of God to help me create and manifest these virtues in my day to day life, also, to help me create an atmosphere which my family and society can look up to and enjoy. For I know when I do this I will raise godly children thereby averting the shame that comes to a mother as in;

Proverbs 29:15 ‘’The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.’’

Dearly beloved Mother, I do pray that you will have a wonderful MOTHERS’ DAY not only for today being special but for the rest of your life in the empowering name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. BE ETERNALLY BLESSED!

Dare To Be A MOTHER . . . Be Empowered With VIRTUE . . . Be A Godly Woman ACHIEVER

Mothers’ Day 2008

By Leave a Comment

MOTHER’S DAY ’08

I’ve been inspired to entitled 2008 Mother’s Day, ‘The great impart of a Genuine Mother’s Faith’’.

 

2 Tim. 1:3-7 ‘’ I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind’’

 

Prov. 31:10-31 ‘Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates’’.

 

I thank God for another opportunity to stir up every mother’s spirit. It’s my prayer that during this period of Mothers’ Day, every mother comes to a reasonable understanding of how powerful their FAITH in God is to this generation. That’s far more than receiving mere gifts, cards, special meals and outings.

Any woman can be a mum, but it takes a great hearted-spirit to be a mother, much more a significant mother in the life of a person. The book of wisdom, Proverbs 31:10-31 makes a very important remark in verses 10 and 28 which I have coined ‘’A genuine mother’s Faith who can find? For her price is far above rubies’’

Motherhood is a highly favoured calling affecting all that pertains to this life and godliness, hence Apostle Paul wasted no time reminding Timothy to reject such mothers that have no genuine faith and not to give such also an opportunity to destroy his destiny. 1Tim.4:7-8:

 

‘’But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come’’.

 

While in 1 Tim. 1:3-5, he recalls the ’GENUINE FAITH’ of Timothy’s grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, which apostle Paul saw in Timothy supposing to be from his mothers’.

As Mother’s day is cherished today, especially here in England, it’s worth pondering on your Faith if you’re a mother. Being a mother is a major responsibility and not just only a place of honour and dignity. For in motherhood, there destiny of life is made, nations evolve, hence the kind of FAITH you communicate from your life and nucleus family is the faith that shapes the world.

 

Philemon 3-6: ‘’Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus’’.

 

When mothers have ‘Genuine Faith’ in God, the Family, Church, community and nations are honoured and dignified.

 

Heb. 11:11 ‘’ Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised’’

 

Prov. 10:1 ‘’The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother’’

 

Prov.15:20 ‘’ Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness’’

 

Prov.17:25 ‘’ A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him’’.

 

When mothers take their God given place like Deborah of old, nation’s dignities are respected as in the book of Judges 4 and 5.

 

Like Timothy’s mothers, Lois and Eunice, I plead with you to ARISE, take your motherhood dream and place it in ‘GENUINE FAITH’ to Achieve God’s purpose in your life. Your genuine faith in God and God can make it together building a loving family, triumphant Church safe community and a moral godly nation. For when you WIN your family, you’ve won your world. Hence I challenge that you, NEVER GIVE UP, for you are a winner and your dreams are achievable with God.

 

Have a lovely MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION while always have in mind that Great Mother . . . Genuine Faith . . . Blessed Heritage as LOIS – EUNICE – TIMOTHY!

 

Be Eternally Rewarded!

 

In His World For His Glory,
