ACTIVATING THE ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2024: GOD’S GRACE IS YOUR PRIMARY AND PURPOSEFUL CALL TO – DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY IN YEAR 2024!

“But by the GRACE of God I am what I am: and his GRACE which was BESTOWED upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the GRACE of God which was WITH me” 1 Corinthians 15:10.

“And WHEN THEY HAD PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

There’s enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER to do exploit for you, in doing life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and now for YEAR 2024, same enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER in Christ Jesus is readily available for you and should be your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL stand to usher in the New dawning YEAR come 2024. It thus mean, that your utmost urgency now is for you to set out a special moment, to be WITH the LORD – to be in His PRESENCE – wherein you will be engrossed with Him to release you with His enabling GRACE and POWER, in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST, knows what it means to abound in the PRESENCE of our Father God in order to do life in His humanity in the earthly affairs for the cause of the kingdom. He ensures that all His doings are as LED by Holy Spirit and Father God is in the know, in every step to ensure the POWER to function was there in fulfilling His cause and purpose of God for humanity.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . .14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being GLORIFIED of all . . . 22 And all BARE HIM WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 1-22.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great WHILE before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a SOLITARY place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE was ALTERED, and his RAIMENT was WHITE and GLISTERING” Luke 9:28-29.

Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter YEAR 2024 and to start marking unfounded NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and  PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards because they are not SCRIPTURALLY based. For these reasons, herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb these unnecessary ARTIFICIAL display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR 2023 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR 2024. This you do in these wise as an example:

** All those your SELF-WILLED man-made and make-believe POWER of rushing your hours into your day before its dawn, has it it made any difference in you without stress and anxiety instead of God’s promised rest?

** Those your lengthy days of UNENDING FASTING to prove HOW SPIRITUAL YOU ARE, has it made any remarkable difference in you? Or was it a statuesque to keep, though its a hunger strike and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?

** Have you not wonder that God wants you to LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL and meaningfully FULFILLED? And He doesn’t want you to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? He does wants you to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE through His grace and power, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS?

** And God is about DILIGENCE in all sphere of doing life and living godly? And it’s not about just HARD WORK instead about SMART WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating? And there’s the need to be PRINCIPLED in taking responsibility and accountability for your cause without blaming someone else?

** You need to ask yourself if the claimed you put in so much effort each day, and yet doesn’t add up, if it does make life WORTH LIVING after all? or you need to change your course into YEAR 2024 of needing God’s GRACE and POWER for His BLESSEDNESS?

SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; more so, not wanting to see you SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living;  also, to help you to know full well, that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you are being EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR 2023 closing down and YEAR 2024 starting up.

Know full well that your TIME to have a set out COMMUNION moment is now with the LORD. This is in order to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING nothing and just WATCHING aimlessly and armless into the dawning YEAR 2024.

All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands as some are consumed about, but to just be in the presence of Father God in the name of Jesus – ONLY and SOLELY – there MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is within this act that Father God can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR 2023 uniquely with His GRACE, POWER, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and biddings, without fail, stress and sweat.

I wants to let you know that by God’s grace and power, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT of God’s PRESENCE into YEAR 2024 rather than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strenght from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.

I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:

** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life. This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.

This means in Summary that:

** We ARE SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him.

** We ARE then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed.

** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God.

** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and the not Stress, worry (anxiety), pressure people experience while they walk in their own effort to make things happen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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).

“And in the morning, RISING UP a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” (Mark 1:35).

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

IT’S STOCK-TAKING MOMENT – TAKE TIME TO CHILL

By Leave a Comment

IT’S STOCK-TAKING MOMENT – TAKE TIME TO CHILL: FOR LEISURE IS GOD’S AND IT’S GODLY TOO!

EBENEZER: Hitherto Has The Lord God HELPED Us – 1 Samuel 7:12.

LEISURE and REST are good after labour – a diligent work; and labour is the physical and mental exertion of man to earn a gracious reward – in cash and or kind. And one good, gracious and graceful reward of labour – after a DILIGENT workloads in the year – is by taking a time out to have a relaxing and leisure moment, outside your norm, especially with your BELOVED, among your CHERISHED friends – just to eat, drink and laugh.

“And the apostles GATHERED themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had DONE, and what they had TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT” Mark 6:30-31.

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY heart; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works . . . 9 Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST ALL THE DAYS OF THE LIFE of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, ALL THE DAYS of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:7, 9.

The essence of STOCK-TAKING MOMENT and TAKING TIME TO CHILL is to have REST and LEISURE as it’s of GOD’S will and it’s GODLY too. For in reality:

WE LIVE TO EAT AND NOT EAT TO LIVE – FOR LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING. THEREFORE, THINK.

It’s a gracious and graceful time to EAT, LAUGH, REFLECT, TAKE STOCK and BELIEVE again for the Days, Weeks, Months and Years ahead. God REWARDS DILIGENCE; and they that are DILIGENT will have a STAND in the MIDST and PLACE of kings – noble,  honour and dignity. Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6.

And most importantly, STOCK TAKING is a time to review and assess one’s situation and options; and to count, account and share the enabling that will synergise you in PURPOSE; such that you can THRIVE MEANINGFULLY and in FULFILMENT; and to move FORWARD –  ONWARDS and UPWARDS – in LIFE and GRACE, and in the abounding love of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before mean (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

“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 11:6.

“And the apostles GATHERED themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had DONE, and what they had TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT” Mark 6:30-31.

“There remaineth therefore a REST to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his REST, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us LABOUR therefore to ENTER INTO THAT REST, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” Hebrews 4:9-11.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God created and made” Genesis 2:1-2.

“Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to EAT and to DRINK, and to ENJOY the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion” Ecclesiastes 5:18.

“There is nothing better for a man, than that he should EAT and DRINK, and that he should make his soul ENJOY good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God” Ecclesiastes 2:24.

“I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to REJOICE, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should EAT and DRINK, and ENJOY the good of all his labour, it is the GIFT of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:12-14.

“Then I commended MIRTH, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to EAT, and to DRINK, and to be MERRY: for that shall abide with him of his LABOUR the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun” Ecclesiastes 8:15.

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY heart; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works. 8 Let thy GARMENTS be always WHITE; and let thy HEAD lack no OINTMENT. 9 Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” Ecclesiastes 9:7-10.

YOU DEARLY NEED – THE FAITH AT REST

By Leave a Comment

YOU DEARLY NEED – THE FAITH AT REST – THE FAITH ASSURED – AND THE SPIRIT REFRESH: IT’S POSSIBLE BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – THAT’S THE SYNERGY!

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN him in sickness (INFIRMITIES), But who can BEAR a BROKEN spirit?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY heart (spirit) doeth GOOD like a medicine: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the bones” Proverbs 17:22.

When your FAITH is at REST, your SPIRIT-BEING  and WELL-BEING are at REST – then you are ASSURED of your daily triumph no matter what; but when your faith is troubled, your spirit is troubled – then your ASSURANCE and CONFIDENCE of triumph dwindles.

And FAITH is of the WORD which is spiritual and is of the Holy Spirit in your spirit, which when not taken care of and looks after, it leads to stress and depression and all forms of fear PHOBIA in your human spirit-being. STRESS is as a results of limited capacity to deal with our various life challenges, be it – family, work, career, ministry, business, academic, relationship, leadership and more.

You need to know full well that you are a spirit-being (spiritual), with a soul (mind, emotions, will and intellect) and living in a body (humus – physical) – (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7).

However, there’s a good news, for God has left us with a synergy to enhance us with the grace of rest to deal with all factors that results to stress. It’s called – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – that’s PRAYING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT which means SPEAKING FORTH IN OTHER TONGUES – that is, in spiritual tongues/languages to be precise. And you need to get engaged and use it to do and live life. In it you willl be REFRESH, REAWAKEN, RENEW, REKINDLE, SYNERGISE and AFLAME to enjoy a stress and depression free life in Christ Jesus. Amen.

MEDITATE on the SCRIPTURES below and be BLESSED in Christ Jesus stead to live free within. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may cause the WEARY to REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“For if I PRAY in an UNKNOWN TONGUE, my spirit prayeth but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will PRAY with the spirit, and I will PRAY with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding” 1 Corinthians 14:14-15.

“Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but BE FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him” Ephesians 5:18.

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy FAITH [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21.

“PRAYING ALWAYS with ALL PRAYER and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“If you FAINT in the day of ADVERSITY, Your STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD parts of the belly (BEING)” Proverbs 20:27 (Emphasis Mine).

“But THERE is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” Job 33:4.

“In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness [INFIRMITIES]. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. 27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will” Romans 8:26-27.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . .14 For as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God” Romans 8:9-11, 14 (Emphasis Mine).

AFD AUGUST 2023 EDITION

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST 2023: THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” – ON YOUR NEW DAWN IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“In the BEGINNING God CREATED the heaven and the earth . . . 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:1, 31.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from BEGINNING to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God BLESSED the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God CREATED and MADE” Genesis 2:1-3.

The Holy writ book of beginning in Genesis 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in the creation of the planet earth and of all that is on the earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2 and  Acts 17:24-31. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had CREATED all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as enjoined in Revelation 4:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH?. I can give and tell you now what I think, believe and embrace. This is what I believe and concluded with – that on the EIGHTH day, that’s when man’s NEW day was DAWN – that’s it was born to begin as God rested on His work of creation; thus meaning that the EIGHTH day was the beginning of man to start taking a stand in PRINCIPLE, with the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done in fulfilling God’s purpose as assigned – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 4:8-11. Man’s NEW DAWN signifies a time for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority (power of attorney) to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man (you – a non gender) to take the chance and opportunity accorded by the uncreated creator God to enhance God’s purpose by “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”. This is to meaningfully, responsibly and accountably carry out God’s order on earth and to fullfil the given purpose and assignment accordingly as instructed. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth according but not limited to the Scriptures of Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20 but not limited.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR THE NEW DAWN MONTH AUGUST:

The dawn Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new DAWN signifying a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And the name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, HONOUR/HONOURABLE, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the Month theme in context to AUGUST, therefore means that as possessing “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” you are deemed to to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, HONOURED, GRAND and such like as to AUGUST.

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and PRECIOUS and PRESTIGIOUS job – how you started it on a very good note with MAJESTIC entrance to show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or SPECIAL date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding and marriage of yours – how much you ensured and assured yourself to own the day and to AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for a honourable marriage? and you were at the top of the note before all invited friends and families too? I can give you many scenarios but you have some and can testifies to it of that grandeur display of yours to AUGUST in your presence especially on your Birthday when you took out time and money to make it your day.

Now therefore , it’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you’ve dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MY MINISTRY, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them” Romans 11:13-14 NKJV.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s representative and ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

I pray that as you turn into this month of AUGUST, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty and dignity, eminence, be revered and admired, be venerable and lordly; may Month AUGUST be a month wherein all things that pertain to doing life and living godly are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY (DWELLING)” Jeremiah 17:12.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ Jesus as in Romans 5:1-2, cause you your path to ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to steppingstones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and

circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his

prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminent, dignity, revered, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprisoned himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have hold of him, because the eminent one lives in him – who is our JEHOVAH-ADONAI. Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August by – “THE NEW WINE FOR THE NEW YOU” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

ACTIVATING THE ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2023

ACTIVATING THE ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2023: BY ENSURING GOD’S GRACE IS YOUR PRIMARY AND PURPOSEFUL CALL TO – DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY IN YEAR 2023!

“And WHEN THEY HAD PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

There’s enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER to do exploit for you, in doing life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and now for YEAR 2023, same enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER in Christ Jesus is readily available for you and should be your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL stand to usher in the New dawning YEAR come 2023. It thus mean, that your utmost urgency now is for you to set out a special moment, to be WITH the LORD – to be in His PRESENCE – wherein you will be engrossed with Him to release you with His enabling GRACE and POWER, in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST, knows what it means to abound in the PRESENCE of our Father God in order to do life in His humanity in the earthly affairs for the cause of the kingdom. He ensures that all His doings are as LED by Holy Spirit and Father God is in the know, in every step to ensure the POWER to function was there in fulfilling His cause and purpose of God for humanity.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . .14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being GLORIFIED of all . . . 22 And all BARE HIM WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 1-22.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great WHILE before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a SOLITARY place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE was ALTERED, and his RAIMENT was WHITE and GLISTERING” Luke 9:28-29.

Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter YEAR 2023 and to start marking unfounded NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards because they are not SCRIPTURALLY based. For these reasons, herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb this unnecessary ARTIFICIAL display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR 2022 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR 2023. This you do in these wise as an example:

** All those your SELF-WILLED man-made and make-believe POWER of rushing your hours into your day before its dawn, has it it made any difference in you without stress and anxiety instead of God’s promised rest?

** Those your lengthy days of UNENDING FASTING to prove HOW SPIRITUAL YOU ARE, has it made any remarkable difference in you? Or was it a statuesque to keep, though its a hunger strike and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?

** Have you not wonder that God wants you to LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL and meaningfully FULFILLED? And He doesn’t want you to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? He does wants you to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE through His grace and power, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS?

** And God is about DILIGENCE in all sphere of doing life and living godly? And it’s not about just HARD WORK instead about SMART WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating? And there’s the need to be PRINCIPLED in taking responsibility and accountability for your cause without blaming someone else?

** You need to ask yourself if the claimed you put in so much effort each day, and yet doesn’t add up, if it does make life WORTH LIVING after all? or you need to change your course into YEAR 2023 of needing God’s GRACE and POWER for His BLESSEDNESS?

SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; more so, not wanting to see you SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living;  also, to help you to know full well, that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you are being EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR 2023 closing down and YEAR 2023 starting up.

Know full well that your TIME to have a set out COMMUNION  moment is now with the LORD. This is in order to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING nothing and just WATCHING aimlessly and armless into the dawning YEAR 2023.

All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands as some are consumed about, but to just be in the presence of Father God in the name of Jesus – ONLY and SOLELY – there MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is within this act that Father God can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR 2023 uniquely with His GRACE, POWER, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and biddings, without fail, stress and sweat.

I wants to let you know that by God’s grace and power, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT from God’s PRESENCE into YEAR 2023 rather than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strenght from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.

I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:

** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life. This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.

This means in Summary that:

** We ARE SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him!

** We ARE then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed

** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God.

** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and the not Stress, worry (anxiety), pressure people experience while they walk in their own effort to make things happen.

STOCK TAKING – TAKE TIME TO CHILL

STOCK TAKING – TAKE TIME TO CHILL: LEISURE IS GOD’S AND IT’S GODLY!

EBENEZER: Hitherto Has The Lord God HELPED Us – 1 Samuel 7:12.

LEISURE and REST are good after labour – diligent work; and labour is the physical and mental exertion of man to earn a gracious reward – cash and or kind. And one good, gracious and graceful reward of labour – after a DILIGENT workloads in the year – is by taking a time out to have a relaxing leisure outside your norm, especially with your BELOVED, among your CHERISHED friends – just to eat, drink and laugh. Mark 6:3031; Ecclesiastes 9:7, 9.

WE LIVE TO EAT AND NOT EAT TO LIVE – FOR LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING. THEREFORE, THINK.

It’s a gracious and graceful time to EAT, LAUGH, REFLECT, TAKE STOCK and BELIEVE again for the Days, Weeks, Months and Years ahead. God REWARDS DILIGENCE; and they that are DILIGENT will have a STAND in the MIDST and PLACE of kings – noble,  honour and dignity. Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6.

And most importantly, STOCK TAKING is a time to review and assess one’s situation and options; and to count, account and share the enabling that will synergise you in PURPOSE; such that you can THRIVE MEANINGFULLY and in FULFILMENT; and to move FORWARD –  ONWARDS and UPWARDS – in LIFE and GRACE, and in the abounding love of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

“There remaineth therefore a REST to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his REST, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us LABOUR therefore to ENTER INTO THAT REST, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” Hebrews 4:9-11.

DO YOU NEED – FAITH AT REST – FAITH ASSURED – AND SPIRIT REFRESH

By Leave a Comment

DO YOU NEED – FAITH AT REST – FAITH ASSURED – AND SPIRIT REFRESH: PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – IT’S THE SYNERGY!

When your FAITH is at REST, your SPIRIT-BEING and WELL-BEING are at REST – then you are ASSURED of your daily triumph no matter what; but when your faith is troubled, your spirit is troubled – then your ASSURANCE and CONFIDENCE of triumph dwindles.

And FAITH is of the WORD which is spiritual and is of the Holy Spirit in your spirit, which when not taken care of and looks after, it leads to stress and depression and all forms of fear PHOBIA in your human spirit-being. STRESS is as a result of limited capacity to deal with our various life challenges, be it – family, work, career, ministry, business, academic, relationship, leadership and more.

You need to know full well that you are a spirit-being (spiritual), with a soul (mind, emotions, will and intellect) and living in a body (humus – physical) – (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7).

However, there’s a good news, for God has left us with a synergy to enhance us with the grace of rest to deal with all factors that results to stress. It’s called – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – that’s PRAYING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT which means SPEAKING FORTH IN OTHER TONGUES – that is, in spiritual tongues/languages to be precise. And you need to get engaged and use it to do and live life. In it you willl be REFRESH, REAWAKEN, RENEW, REKINDLE, SYNERGISE and AFLAME to enjoy a stress and depression free life in Christ Jesus. Amen.

MEDITATE on the SCRIPTURES below and be BLESSED in Christ Jesus stead to live free within. Amen.
