“But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you LACKED OPPORTUNITY. [11] Not that I speak\u00a0in regard to\u00a0need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be CONTENT: [12] I know how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND. Everywhere and in all\u00a0things\u00a0I have LEARNED both to be FULL and to be HUNGRY, both to ABOUND and to SUFFER need. [13] I CAN do ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me”<\/i>\u00a0Philippians 4:10-13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under God, and in the name of our\u00a0Saviour\u00a0and Lord Jesus Christ, and by the enabling Holy Spirit of inspiration,\u00a0revelation\u00a0and empowerment, I graciously WELCOME you to Month NOVEMBER. The month entitled: “THE SPIRIT OF CONTENTMENT” – TO ABOUND AND TO BE ABASED IN THE GRACE, which is coined from the scriptural context of\u00a0Philippians 4:10-13<\/b>\u00a0and along with other scriptures that will be used in time to\u00a0address\u00a0the theme in course of this month by the grace of God.\u00a0So,\u00a0watch out and follow suit to ensure you have\u00a0full\u00a0knowledge and understanding in the entire context of the theme in the grace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For we live in a generation and dispensations of Believer’s who in the name of PROSPERITY\u00a0eluding to\u00a0materialism, are\u00a0almost in\u00a0the\u00a0lost\u00a0of the guardrails and boundaries they ought to do life and live godly in the grace. And our beloved Apostle Paul who have obtained all the abounding disposition of grace upon his life, could eventually find himself to end up in prison, and yet, he still maintains the composition of his ENDUEMENT and ENDOWMENTS in the grace; and from there he was able to write this concise epistle notes out of the place of being humbled, otherwise being abased, for the cause of the Gospel. What an\u00a0indicator\u00a0to every Believer’s to know how to balance life with God,\u00a0in order to\u00a0live a purposeful,\u00a0meaningful\u00a0and fulfilling life in the grace.\u00a0That’s\u00a0the essence of the welcome into this trinity experience of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, sphere of the spirit contentment as Jesus was humbled in humanity to enable Him\u00a0become\u00a0the author and finisher of our eternal SALVATION in the grace as written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Wherefore seeing we also are COMPASSED about with so GREAT A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, let us LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT, and THE SIN which doth so EASILY BESET US, and let us RUN with PATIENCE the race that is set before us, [2] LOOKING unto Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him ENDURED the cross, DESPISING THE SHAME, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 12:1-2.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“So\u00a0also\u00a0Christ glorified not Himself to be made\u00a0an\u00a0high priest; but He that said unto him,\u00a0Thou\u00a0art my Son,\u00a0Today\u00a0have I begotten thee. [6] As He saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec. [7] Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that He feared; [8] though He were a Son, yet learned He OBEDIENCE by the things which He SUFFERED; [9] and being made PERFECT, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; [10] called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 5:5-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[6] who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a Servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] and being found in fashion as a man, He HUMBLED himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: [10] that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”<\/i>\u00a0Philippians 2:4-11.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For to be \u201cABASED\u201d is in the present\u00a0tense and\u00a0means in some context to be in a state of degradation. And to \u201cABOUND\u201d means to be in overflow, and at times it\u00a0conveys\u00a0the idea of extreme wealth or abundance, as to\u00a0say,\u00a0to be\u00a0highly successful\u00a0in whatever context of attribution. However, in the Scriptural context of the Bible, to be “ABASED” means to be humbled, brought low, or degraded, often as a consequence of pride [being proudly] or disobedience to specific scriptural instructions of God; and it’s the opposite of being exalted and being lifted up or uplifted; and the concept by the scriptural context is\u00a0summarised\u00a0by the principle that those who exalt themselves will be abased, while those who humble themselves will be exalted. The writ of\u00a0Philippians 4:13-19<\/b>\u00a0by Apostle Paul is to describe his ability to be content in any situation, including TIMES OF NEED and HUNGER as per his TIMES OF ABUNDANCE AND BEING HIGHLY SUFFICIENT AND SUCCESSFUL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing now to be “ABASED” and “ABOUND” comes from the biblical verse\u00a0Philippians 4:12-13,<\/b>\u00a0which refers and indicates the concept of learning to LIVE CONTENTEDLY as a Believer in Christ Jesus, in both in times of NEED and PLENTY, what manner of person are you setting yourself to become in the grace. For to be ABASED means to learn to live with less, which involves taming desires, avoiding excess, and appreciating what you have through practicing the spirit of contentment and discipline in the grace. And in the same scenario, to ABOUND in context as mean to have more, involves living with gratitude, practicing wise stewardship, and being disciplined with resources, rather than being wasteful or prideful in the grace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And\u00a0the month of NOVEMBER\u00a0as any other DAWN months in the Julian and Gregorian calendar year, is crucial and important in the cause of the numbering of our days under the Sun. This is\u00a0in order to\u00a0fulfil PURPOSE by God, in Christ Jesus stead, as the scriptures but not limited, enjoined in\u00a0Colossians 4:17 and Romans 8:28 and Ephesians\u00a01:\u00a011…<\/b>\u00a0And it thus re-echoes and reminds me as in other DAWN months, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in the settings being laid within context as in other writ; and also, with the knowing that it’s God who makes things to be, in each passing days, weeks and months, and He is the one who crowns the year [our year, your year], with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY by God in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is THE DAY [WEEK, MONTH, YEAR] which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 118:24\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths DROP FATNESS (ABUNDANCE). 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 65:11-13\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, my acronyms to month November, can be summed in these context as done in many other times:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • FIRSTLY, that the month 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\u00a030 days\u00a0and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than\u00a031 days. And it is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while\u00a0in\u00a0the southern half, it is the last month of spring in count.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • SECONDLY, that\u00a0the month of NOVEMBER\u00a0is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings \u2013\u00a0SeptemBER,\u00a0OctoBER,\u00a0NovemBER, and\u00a0DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing month of the year that will usher in another DAWN year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of principle in diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year by the eleventh hour month; 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, stronger and strongly in the current dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God\u2019s graciousness, gracefulness and blessedness toward me\u00a0and\u00a0family, 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • And THIRDLY, the Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN\u00a0months\u00a0of the\u00a0year;\u00a0it assured my thoughts toward engaging with the benefits of a TEAM spirit, when you consider the ELEVEN PERSONS in the making of a FOOTBALL TEAM. Thus, indicating the needs to work together with others, in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to\u00a0achieve\u00a0common results as a team knowing the implications of being a lone life person, being exposed to dangers and helplessness, and being vulnerable to be preyed upon by the enemy and cohorts of faith in the grace. This is important, irrespective of the quality of the personality of the individual player’s terms that\u00a0are\u00a0involved. The aim is to see the need to achieve results together and collectively, as a team rather than as an individual lone person with innumerable opportunity of engaging with others for massive creativity, exploring, innovation and such like.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Therefore, I WELCOME you specially and specifically to NOVEMBER 2025, which is\u00a0entitled for you and I to ensure the – “THE SPIRIT OF CONTENTMENT” – TO ABOUND AND TO BE ABASED IN THE GRACE; Knowing and understanding this concept and context, will keep you steady in the faith, because it assures that you are God’s and Christ Ambassador in the grace, and whatever you are abounded with, should be measured to ensure when you are humbled to Abased dispositions, you remain steadily and steadfastly in the faith which unfortunately, many can’t handle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        And through the month, by God’s inspiring, revealing, and empowering grace, I will hopefully be measuring up the various segments to the Month theme.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Blessed regards in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that now at last you have renewed your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned about me before, but you had no opportunity to show it. [11] Not that I speak from [any personal] need, for I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances. [12] I know how to get along and live humbly [in\u00a0difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance\u00a0or\u00a0being in need. [13] I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose\u2014I am self-sufficient in Christ\u2019s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        [19] And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus”<\/i>\u00a0Philippians 4:10-14, 19\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “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\u00a0great\u00a0gain. [8] And having FOOD and RAIMENT let us be therewith CONTENT”<\/i>\u00a01 Timothy 6:3-8.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “Let your CONVERSATION [CONDUCT, BEHAVIOUR] be without covetousness; and be CONTENT with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. [6] So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 13:5-6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “Although the fig tree shall NOT BLOSSOM, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The\u00a0labour\u00a0of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will REJOICE in the LORD, I will JOY in the God of my salvation. [19] The LORD God is my STRENGTH,\u00a0And\u00a0he will make my FEET like HINDS’ FEET, And He will make me to walk upon mine HIGH PLACES. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments”<\/i>\u00a0Habakkuk 3:17-19.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “HUMBLE yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time: [7] casting all your care upon him; for\u00a0he\u00a0careth\u00a0for you. [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9]\u00a0whom\u00a0resist\u00a0steadfast\u00a0in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are\u00a0accomplished\u00a0in your brethren that are in the world. [10] But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have SUFFERED a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you. [11] To him be glory and dominion\u00a0for ever and ever. Amen”<\/i>\u00a01 Peter 5:6-11.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “So\u00a0also\u00a0Christ glorified not Himself to be made\u00a0an\u00a0high priest; but He that said unto him,\u00a0Thou\u00a0art my Son,\u00a0Today\u00a0have I begotten thee. [6] As He saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec. [7] Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that He feared; [8] though He were a Son, yet learned He OBEDIENCE by the things which He SUFFERED; [9] and being made PERFECT, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; [10] called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 5:5-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        [6] who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a Servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] and being found in fashion as a man, He HUMBLED himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: [10] that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”<\/i>\u00a0Philippians 2:4-11.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u201cNo man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the\u00a0one, and\u00a0love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. [25] Therefore I say unto you,\u00a0Take\u00a0no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father\u00a0feedeth\u00a0them. Are ye not much better than\u00a0they? [27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? [28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [29] and yet I say unto you,\u00a0That\u00a0even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which\u00a0today\u00a0is, and\u00a0tomorrow\u00a0is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [31] Therefore take no thought, saying,\u00a0What\u00a0shall we eat?”\u00a0or,\u00a0What\u00a0shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father\u00a0knoweth\u00a0that ye have need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof”\u00a0<\/i>Matthew 6:24-34.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
