GREETINGS:
<\/strong>Shalom & Redemption Life Greetings! Welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Achievers\u2019 FAITH Digest, to the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publication of Decade 2020s and Year 2020. More so, WELCOME to this gracious and graceful eleventh (CARDINAL NUMBER) hour Month of standing up in faith against the PANDEMIC obstacles in the path of progress in this NOVEMBER 2020<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I gracefully and graciously welcome you into this month of expressing grace in overturning setbacks and long standing oppositions and obstacles in ones path of progress in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and I pray that His grace, peace, love and mercy might take hold of you with all things under your feet and control according to the Holy covenanted Scriptures as written and spoken concerning you in Christ Jesus precious name, Amen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This NOVEMBER,<\/strong> is the eleventh (cardinal number) month<\/strong> of the leap year 2020 and of the Decade 2020s is themed as: GOD IS FAITHFUL!<\/strong> –\u201cThriving And Achieving Life Plan, Purpose And pursuit meaningfully and in fulfilment, through Faithfulness (being faithful) as God Is<\/em>,<\/em><\/strong> In Christ Jesus Stead\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOD IS FAITHFUL <\/strong>– There’s the need as His children to reciprocate His nature in us as endorsed in 2 Peter 1:1-4<\/strong>, in being the object of His Faithfulness as we are of His Love as it’s written “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith<\/strong> with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: <\/em>2 <\/em><\/sup>Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, <\/em>3 <\/em><\/sup>according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness<\/strong>, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: <\/em>4 <\/em><\/sup>whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature<\/strong>, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFD November 2020 Theme – GOD IS FAITHFUL! – <\/strong>and it is about <\/strong>
“Thriving And Achieving Life Plan, Purpose And pursuit meaningfully and in fulfilment, through Faithfulness (being faithful) as God Is<\/em>,<\/em><\/strong> In Christ Jesus Stead”. <\/em>Amen.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Corinthians 1:9<\/strong> “God is faithful<\/strong>, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrews 10:23<\/strong> “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He <\/strong><\/em>is faithful<\/em><\/strong> that promised”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 18:1-8<\/strong> \u201c. . .<\/em><\/strong> And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find<\/em> faith<\/em><\/strong> (Greek “pistis” – means faithfulness<\/strong>) on the earth?\u201d (Emphasis Mine)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 16:1-13<\/strong> \u201c. . .<\/em><\/strong>He<\/em> that is faithful<\/strong><\/em><\/strong> in<\/em> that which is least is faithful<\/strong> also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If<\/em> therefore ye have not been faithful<\/strong> in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And<\/em> if ye have not been faithful<\/strong> in that which is another man\u2019s, who shall give you that which is your own? No<\/em> servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we live in an age where faithfulness<\/strong> to ourselves and to others is in great demand for creating an atmosphere that we can enjoy. Unfortunately we are so eager to demand faithfulness<\/strong> from others while we may not be faithful ourselves even in the least of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence I am grateful to the Holy Spirit that this month He has constrained me to challenge us on the need of achieving life goals through faithfulness. Hence the reason to set tasks and targets for oneself in making it be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to know that our God is a faithful God. This is just one basic nature of God \u2013 FAITHFULNESS<\/strong>. We being His children cannot afford to live in any other way and expect to achieve greatness in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Results of Being Faithful<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great admirable marriages, homes & businesses are not achieved merely from structural design but from faithful human hearts. The results of being faithful are the prosperity and good success that we all desire. When we make faithfulness an avenue of achieving life\u2019s goals, we promote honesty, decency and healthy lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the scripture quoted at the beginning, Luke 18:7-8<\/strong>, Jesus asked a question about faithfulness. The word FAITH<\/strong> is translated \u2018pistis\u2019<\/strong> in Greek, which denotes faithfulness in English. Jesus wondered how many would be faithful \u2013 to trust God and wait upon His Word \u2013 without seeking alternative solutions to life\u2019s challenges; more so, to await faithfully until He returns in the midst of good and challenging times. The 2nd<\/sup> main text, Luke 16:1-13<\/strong>, shows the reason that many of us cannot achieve our goals. It is because we are not faithful in matters entrusted into our hands by others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s Faithful Nature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In achieving life\u2019s goals, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding faithfulness as could be found of Him in the following scriptural terms:.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. God is faithful to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  2. God is faithful to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  3. God is faithful to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  4. God is faithful to forgive. 1 John 1:9<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  5. God is faithful in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  6. God is faithful to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  7. God is faithful to accomplish His part in the assignment that he gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  8. God is a faithful creator. 1 Peter 4:19<\/em><\/strong> . . .<\/strong> and many more of our God.<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture. Acts 17:24-29, Psalms 100:3<\/em><\/strong>. It then means that we can live a faithful life and achieve good successes. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham \u2013 who was faithful and prospered. The same grace is available to us today in spite of our challenges to be faithful and to prosper. Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Faithfulness Applied<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. A faithful employee<\/strong> \u2013 Whatever position you hold, God requires you to be faithful. Matthew 24:45-51; Ephesians 6:5-8; 1 Peter 2:18-20; Colossians 3:22-25.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
    2. A faithful employer<\/strong> \u2013 look after your staff well whatever the business. Ephesians 6:6-9; Colossians 4:1; Proverbs 11:24-26; Deuteronomy 10:17-18; Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
    3. Faithful in your relationships<\/strong>. This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society.
      <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      • Faithfulness in the kingdom business. As a minister, pastor, ministry worker etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God\u2019s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God\u2019s Word and commands is a prerequisite to achieving desired goals. 1 Corinthians 4:2; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; Proverbs 27:23; John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7; Hebrews 3:2, 5).<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
      • In marriage one cannot afford to be unfaithful and achieve with God. 1 Timothy 3:11; Proverbs 31:10; Proverbs 20:6; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
      • Faithfulness is also vital in a parent \u2013 child relationship. Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21; Proverbs 22:6<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
      • Faithfulness in friendships. Proverbs 27:6, 10; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24.<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Faithfulness Rewards:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Abound with blessings. Proverbs 28:20<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
        2. Abound with health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
        3. A refresher for others. Proverbs 25:13<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
        4. There will be increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21,23<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
        5. There will be eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Finally, as one with an achievers\u2019 mandate, I beckon on you to set task and target this month on how to walk in faithfulness if you want to partner with God. I pray you be found faithful in every area of your life through this month and thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          May you Be FAITHFULLY PROSPERED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead. Amen!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON THINK-TANK:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u201cNow the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. <\/em>13 <\/em><\/sup>And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. <\/em>14 <\/em><\/sup>In response Jesus said to it, \u201cLet no one eat fruit from you ever again . . <\/em>.20 <\/sup>Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 <\/sup>And Peter, remembering, said to Him, \u201cRabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.\u201d 22 <\/sup>So Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cHave faith in God. <\/strong>23 <\/sup>For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, \u2018Be removed and be cast into the sea,\u2019 and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 <\/sup>Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them,<\/em> and you will have them. <\/em>25 <\/sup>\u201cAnd whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 <\/sup>But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.\u201d And His disciples heard it”<\/em> Mark 11:12-14, 20-26 NKJV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” <\/em>1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          “And we know that all things<\/strong> work together for good to those who love God<\/strong>, to those who are the called<\/strong> according to His purpose. <\/em>29 <\/em><\/sup>For whom He foreknew, He also predestined<\/strong> to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren<\/strong>. <\/em>30 <\/em><\/sup>Moreover whom He predestined<\/strong>, these He also called<\/strong>; whom He called<\/strong>, these He also justified<\/strong>; and whom He justified<\/strong>, these He also glorified<\/strong>” <\/em>Romans 8:28-30<\/strong>. NKJV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful<\/strong>, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” <\/em>1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for <\/em>He is faithful <\/em><\/strong>that promised . . . <\/em>35 <\/em><\/sup>Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. <\/em>36 <\/em><\/sup>For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. <\/em>37 <\/em><\/sup>For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. <\/em>38 <\/em><\/sup>Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. <\/em>39 <\/em><\/sup>But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” <\/em>Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          However, this NOVEMBER 2020<\/strong> theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES<\/strong> in all meetings through the year and Month in \u201cScripture Pasture\u201d <\/strong>Study and \u201cPastoral Messages & Ministrations\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          I gladly welcome you, your friends and family to be with us in Fellowship <\/strong>and Worship<\/strong>. I promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God. I pray that God revitalize and rejuvenates you and all that is about you, so that you may become the very best of which God has created you to be in your daily journey of Destiny Molding, Life Transformation, Dignity Restoration and Kingdom Faith Establishment, Community Social Cohesion and Enrichment and Development, Success Empowerment & Fulfillment, Grace Impartation and more<\/strong><\/em>, while awaiting the Lord\u2019s Return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
