MONTH NOVEMBER 2022 – THE 11TH HOUR MONTH: THE MONTH OF “NEVER-THE-LESS” – TURNING A MESS TO A MESSAGE – AT GOD’S WORD!

The month of NOVEMBER is crucial as any other month in the dawn year, because it re-echoes and reminds me as some others, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in these settings:

FIRSTLY, NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. It is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while In the southern half, it is the last month of spring.

SECONDLY, the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing of the year to usher in another year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong and stronger in the dawn year;  and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousnesss, gracefulness and blessedness toward me, family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And THIRDLY, which is above all thus mentioned in setting, is that Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN month of the year, it engages my thoughts with the spirit of the ELEVEN PERSONS IN THE MAKING OF A FOOTBALL TEAM that needs to work together in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common results as a team, irrespective of personal terms involved – meaning, an aim to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual. The team spirit and togetherness, speaks of unity, one accord and one purpose and common focus. And it takes the sense of MATURITY to make such happens with others. That’s what Simon did in Luke 5:6-7 by beckoning on others to come forth to achieve together before their net will break. And with such essence, we can apply it in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business, entrepreneurship, governance, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like.  Psalms 133:1-3. We are as good in fulfilling purpose together meaningfully than as a lone person. It’s as we work as a team than as a lone individual with a common and collective call, that matters in life and grace to ensure a more meaningful and fulfilment in a given purpose; and that’s the how to make us good in all goodness rather than playing the lone person dice knowing that A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM. And in the word of the Scripture:

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?” Ecclesiastes 4:9-11.

The month NOVEMBER as themed to be   Month of “NEVERTHELESS” at God’s WORD, enabling to act differently for a different and intrigue results in the midst of absolute failure. It thus indicates – the essence of exercising FAITH on the WORD of God as written or revealed upon the possible and impossible situation, in order to get the necessary helps and to receive the enabling grace and wisdom to turn our scarce and scarcity to abundance, our failure to success, our mess to message, our begging to giving, our toil and toiling to productive result and such like. And FAITH on the WORD OF  FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is the stand to take in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in this month NOVEMBER 2022.

“. . . 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING: NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES: and their net brake . . .” Luke 5:1-11.

You may have struggled through in life and especially this year to see that the last ten months just ending with October hasn’t been FRUITFUL as expected with all inputs that you’ve put in; and you are at the present moment at the verge of packing up the marriage, business, career, family, leadership, ministerial calling, relationship of all kind, self worth and such like. I am here as God’s messenger and ambassador by His grace in Christ Jesus stead, to announce to you that your TOILING is over as you take a step of FAITH upon God’s WORD in spite of all the happenings about you today, for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory as you declare – NEVERTHELESS IN MY TOILING THUS FAR, I WILL LET DOWN THE NET AT GOD’S WORD, FOR HIS CATCH.

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER theme, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of – “NEVERTHELESS” in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. I do PRAY that in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God will grant you an abundant entrance of grace that will TURN AROUND ALL MESS INTO A MESSAGE. ALL TOILING INTO FRUITFULNESS AND MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT in His stead in Christ Jesus. Amen. May our God’s blessed Spirit of promise, gives you the needed guidance, as you let Him lead you to your place of  providence and to ensure that you experience BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING AND THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS wherein when all it’s done and settled, you will be called the trees of righteousness that God might be GLORIFIED and MAGNIFIED in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen. Isaiah 61:1-3.

And as our God turn around the mess to a message of the four hundred men of Captain David that were in DEBT, in DISTRESS and are HOMELESS and DISCOUNTED to become the mighty men of David, so shall your turn around be and more, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 Samuel 22:1-5; 2 Samuel 23.

And as you read and meditate upon the scriptural READING THOUGHTS in context accordingly, may you experience God’s INSPIRING, REVEALING, and EMPOWERING enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead in the now and always until He returns. Amen. It’s my gracious wishes for you of our God, in turning every MESS about you into a MESSAGE for all life long as in these SCRIPTURAL injunctions:

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE) in every good work to do his will, WORKING in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21 Emphasis Mine.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25.

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen” Romans 16:25-25.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.

I pray you have an amazing, awesome, and majestic daily TURN AROUND OF EVERY MESS INTO MESSAGE by God’s divine provisions in His BLESSEDNESS, through this month of NOVEMBER. And may as take every single act of FAITH that God wants you to make by His WORD as Simeon did to catch such many great multitude of fishes to meet the answer to his quest, may your response be NEVERTHELESS AT HIS WORD, I WILL LET THAN THE NET FOR THE CATCH in Christ Jesus precious name. Amen.

Be BLESSED in Month NOVEMBER 2022 in an onward and upward trajectory, as our God turns every MESS up to a gracious and graceful MESSAGE, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL READING THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And it came to pass, that, AS THE PEOPLE PRESSED UPON HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the FISHERMEN were gone out of them, and were WASHING THEIR NETS. 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and PRAYED him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, THEY FORSOOK ALL, and FOLLOWED him” Luke 5:1-11.

“David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. 2 AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DISTRESS, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DEBT, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS DISCONTENTED, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a CAPTAIN over them: and there were with him about FOUR HUNDRED MEN. 3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. 4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth” 1 Samuel 22:1-5.

“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; 2 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” Isaiah 61:1-3 (Luke 4:16-22).

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“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?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).

“These be THE WORDS which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2 (There are ELEVEN DAYS’ JOURNEY from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.) 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, IN THE ELEVENTH MONTH, ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them; 4 after he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 on this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, YE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH IN THIS MOUNT: 7 TURN YOU, and TAKE YOUR JOURNEY, and GO TO THE MOUNT of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO YOUR FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, TO GIVE UNTO THEM AND TO THEIR SEED AFTER THEM” Deuteronomy 1:1-8.

NOVEMBER 2014: Do You ENVISION To Be The BEST – Then Work And Walk At It – It’s God’s EXPECTATIONS From You – Being FAITHFUL!

Is time to REIGN and RULE in LIFE by the Kingdom settings of God – therefore, STOP EXISTING, START LIVING.

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine ENEMIES thy footstool. 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of thy strength out of ZION (THE CHURCH): RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 Thy people shall be WILLING (VOLUNTEER) in the DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH” Psalms 110:1-3 (Emphasis Mine) (Hebrews 12:22-24).

“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 (Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:9-10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

Life is for LIVING and not for a mere EXISTENCE. You don’t have to eat to live but to live to eat. If you can’t ENVISION it by the WORD and not by a mere vision seeing or day dreaming and presume imagination, life will be a mere existence and not a living worth as may expect or intend to see. Know for certainty – YOU ARE REDEEMED, that is RE-OWNED by God from the grips of SIN – the reason for SICKNESS, POVERTY and SPIRITUAL DEATH, that you might LIVE to reign and rule in life in Christ Jesus stead. When you LIVE by a mere existence, you can’t REIGN in life, but when you live by the ENVISIONED Word, you live and reign in life.

Whatever you do as a profession/career – be FAITHFUL to be the BEST in Life and Grace. Are you a Manson/BrickLayer, Painter, Cook, Tailor/Fashion Designer, Decorator, Singer, Musician, Pastor, Student, Politician, Entrepreneur, Medical Profession, Banker, Lawyer, Civil Servant, Leader of any sorts and such like – be the BEST. Whatever is your kind of SERVICES to humanity that you are excelling or hoping to excel in BECOMING – the question you need to ponder along is – What do you see you BECOME of it to mankind? As far as you can see – insights and foresights – that is, to ENVISION, so can you BECOME in the kingdom – just as father Abraham of our FAITH in Christ Jesus was spoken of, in the Holy Writ of Genesis 13:14-18 (Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14; 26-29).

In the kingdom, you are as good as to what you ENVISION and determine to EXCEL to become in it – for the GOOD of mankind. It’s not enough to say I am of this career or profession or calling. How FAITHFUL and GOOD are you working with the enabling grace of God in Christ Jesus, in BECOMING in it – that is, to be the BEST for the GOOD of people, I mean beyond just self-centered and self-gains.

It’s not in the good of the Christian FAITH that any should think that they can acclaimed to a FIELD (CAREER/PROFESSION) in life when and while they are POORLY and BADLY providing GOODS and SERVICES to people; and they think they can get AWAY with it in the Kingdom even when it appears it’s a norm among many outside of the FAITH. For example if one say, I am a PAINTER just for the MONETARY GAINS to earn and not necessarily to provide the BEST – GOODS and SERVICES – to people, such can’t become in the kingdom no matter how hard you work your socks off. It’s for this reason of just GAIN above providing corresponding BEST GOODS and SERVICES that they are many people struggling in the Faith in spite of all gains gotten. For GAIN is not GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING – 1 Timothy 6:5-6; and God will only reward FAITHFUL stewardship to His WORD – 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

God wants us to EXCEL in life and grace, He however wants us to provide corresponding goods and services to humanity with DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE; also, to ORDERLY and DECENTLY present it. You can only be able to acclaim to EXCEL and REIGN in life and grace in this act of God, if you can ENVISION it.

Therefore, ENVISION TO REIGN; and to REIGN through EXCELLENCY.

Know for sure, that as long as you see men as trees, and not as men, you will hardly bother to be the best in that field. It’s not enough to work to earn a living, envision to see that you provide the good and services that will have eternal and human effect in men because you are in PARTNERSHIP with God.

DON’T JUST LIVE: BE ENVISIONED – HAVE INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

I earnestly pray that you will envision to reign in life excellently as you partner with God in the kingdom through the months and years as long as you live, in Jesus name. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST thou? And I said, I SEE a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN: for I will HASTEN my WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12.

“And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE men as trees, walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and SAW every man clearly. 26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town” (Mark 8:22-26).

“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are ZEALOUS of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may EXCEL to the EDIFYING of the church.” (1 Corinthians 14:12).

“Let a man so account of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the MYSTERIES of God. 2 Moreover it is required in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

“If any man TEACH OTHERWISE, AND CONSENT NOT TO WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, KNOWING NOTHING, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.
