AFD JANUARY 2021 THEMED EDITION
GREETINGS:
Shalom! Kingdom & Redemption greetings in the precious and redeeming name of our gracious Saviour, Lord and King, Jesus Christ, Amen. My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you to the dawn of the new month January 2021 and the Year 2021. We also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Achievers’ FAITH Digest, the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publication, of Year 2021.
This special edition of the AFD is the annual publication for YEAR 2021. Year 2021 is our year that is themed: YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES! “A YEAR To Thrive And Live With Purpose And Fulfilment In God’s Righteousness in Christ Jesus”.
I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.
Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified”
YEAR 2021: It’s Now EARTHLY Official And HEAVENLY Approved!
“I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of HEAVEN; and whatever you BIND [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on EARTH will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you LOOSE [permit, declare lawful] on EARTH will have [already] been loosed in HEAVEN” Matthew 16:19 (Amplified).
I SAY WELCOME TO A HAPPY and BLESSED DAWN YEAR 2021 that the Lord God had MADE and CROWN for our good and well-being as it’s written:
“This is the DAY (YEAR2021) which the LORD hath MADE; WE will REJOICE and be GLAD in IT” Psalms 118:24 (Emphasis Mine).
“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” Psalms 65:11-13.
A YEAR OF LIVING THE POSSIBILITIES LIFE – that is – Living The Greater, Thriving & Colourful, Purposeful and Fulfilling life In The Consciousness Of God’s Righteousness In Christ Jesus Stead.
May God give you GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED for YEAR2021 RACE, and upgrade you from THANKSGIVING to THANKS-LIVING on each passing moment of the GEORGIAN CALENDAR count of 12Months, 52Weeks, 365Days, 87600Hours, 525600Minutes, 37536000Seconds. AMEN. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“He has MADE EVERYTHING (YEAR2021) beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified) (Emphasis Mine).
“Know ye not that they which RUN IN A RACE run all, but one receiveth the prize? So RUN, that ye may OBTAIN. 25 And every man that STRIVETH FOR THE MASTERY IS TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so RUN, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27.
“ARISE, SHINE; FOR THY LIGHT IS COME, and the GLORY of the Lord is RISEN upon thee. 2 For, behold, the DARKNESS shall cover the earth, and GROSS DARKNESS the people: but the Lord shall ARISE upon thee, and his GLORY shall be SEEN upon thee. 3 And the GENTILES shall come to thy light, and KINGS to the BRIGHTNESS of thy RISING” Isaiah 60:1-3.
THE DAWN OF POSSIBILITIES – YEAR 2021: The Start Up Of JANUARY 2021!
“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN OF LIFE: in thy LIGHT shall we see LIGHT” Psalms 36:9.

“The Lord BLESS thee, and KEEP thee: 25 the Lord MAKE his face SHINE upon thee, and be GRACIOUS unto thee: 26 the Lord LIFT UP his COUNTENANCE upon thee, and GIVE thee peace”

** My Heart Is INDITING Graciously And Gracefully On YEAR 2021 of This DECADE 2020S: A “YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES” & A DECADE OF “BEING SIGNIFICANT” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
My heart is inditing a THRIVING and GREENER YEAR 2021 in the face and state of absolute chaos, nothingness, voidance and nightmares that have befallen many lives on a constant and daily basis; and by the Spirit of the GREATER and HIGHER life in God in Christ Jesus, I am so ASSURED of God in HIS GRACE, that LIGHT will BEAM again as it was in God at Genesis in the beginning of time – Genesis 1:1-3; 2 Corinthians 4:6.

In summary YEAR 2021 is possibility year of LIVING and THRIVING for the GREATER, COLOURFUL, PURPOSEFUL AND FULFILLING life in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. A time of BLOSSOMING in the consciousness of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS – in doing LIFE and living GODLY in our WORLDS of activities.

“My HEART is INDITING a GOOD MATTER: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: GRACE is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness ABOVE thy fellows” Psalms 45:1-7.
“And God said unto Jacob, ARISE, GO UP TO BETH-EL, AND DWELL THERE: AND MAKE THERE AN ALTAR UNTO GOD, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 3 AND LET US ARISE, AND GO UP TO BETH-EL; AND I WILL MAKE THERE AN ALTAR UNTO GOD, WHO ANSWERED ME IN THE DAY OF MY DISTRESS, AND WAS WITH ME IN THE WAY WHICH I WENT. 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob . . . 9 AND GOD APPEARED UNTO JACOB AGAIN, when he came out of Padan-aram, AND BLESSED HIM. 10 AND GOD SAID UNTO HIM, THY NAME IS JACOB: THY NAME SHALL NOT BE CALLED ANY MORE JACOB, BUT ISRAEL SHALL BE THY NAME: AND HE CALLED HIS NAME ISRAEL. 11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 12 and the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. 13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. 15 And JACOB CALLED THE NAME OF THE PLACE WHERE GOD SPAKE WITH HIM, BETH-EL . . .” Genesis 35:1-29.
** SETTING YEAR2021 READILY READY: There’s The NEED To PRAY!
PRAYER is – Engaging the HEAVENLY permission into your EARTHLY affairs; so it is in getting readily ready to take on and take charge of YEAR2021. Year2021 DEMANDS such enabling of the heavenly TIMELESS timeline into our earthly TIMED timeline. DON’T YOU THINK SO? and If Yes – then give it a GO today – meaning you can start now. Start letting the heavenly into your set out PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that will count and account for your good in YEAR2021.
PRAYER is the PATH to have your thoughts and plan ESTABLISHED readily in the spiritual – heavenly – realm, prior to authenticate and enact tangibly; just as a horse is made readily ready for the battle and challenging times ahead. It is the spiritual realm that gives the physical synergy of life – do yourself a favour – PRAY, so that you FAINT not and live a WORRY free life.
There’s the NEED to HEAR God for yourself on that your intended PLANS, PURPOSE and PURSUIT; rather than waiting for one prophecy of someone to define you on MATTERS that they can’t carry through life or YEAR2021 on your behalf. God hears and PRAYERS. Talk with Him yourself.
GIVE GOD A CALL TODAY – HE WILL ANSWER WHEN IT RINGS ON HIS THRONE – Revelation 5:8; Revelation 8:3-4.
Be Blessed In Your Earthly Cause To doing LIFE And living GODLY in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, GO WEARY, LOOSE HEART)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The HEARTFELT AND PERSISTENT PRAYER of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]” James 5:16 (Amplified).

** PREPAREDNESS – YEAR 2021: NO ROOM FOR PROCRASTINATION – If You Must LIVE & GLIDE In The GREATER LIFE POSSIBILITIES!
DON’T TAKE THE ACT OF DOING LIFE FOR GRANTED, NO MATTER YOUR CAREER OR DOINGS IN LIFE – BE PREPARED IF YOU MUST SUCCEED WITH GOD.PROCRASTINATION is not just only a THIEF of ones precious TIME, but a lazy PERSON’S act of APOLOGY or EXCUSES. And that’s the HOW you want DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in YEAR 2021. To LIVE and GLIDE IN THE GREATER LIFE POSSIBILITIES in YEAR 2021, there’s the NEED for PREPAREDNESS, that is, being prepared with a set out PLAN and PURPOSE in BLACK & WHITE with a PURSUIT mandate OUTLINED. You can’t suddenly wake up into a new DAWN year, wanting to live on a mere made PROPHECY as many have done and remain same because they assume things without a set PLAN to become in Christ Jesus.
You need NOT live or do life again by PROCRASTINATION. There’s the need to be ‘PREPARED READILY AS THE HORSE’ before you take on, take over and turn into YEAR2021. You don’t need to wait for CHANCE to BECOME in God and to make Success, Prosperity and FULFILMENT in life ready for you.
There’s an INDICATOR or DEFAULT in life, which is – when you don’t PLAN to succeed in life, you are equally PLANNING to fail in life at the same time. A no planning is a planning too. Hence there’s this great need to make PLAN with intended PURPOSE to give the needed act of PURSUIT, in order to thrive, succeed, triumph and become with God through His Word, Prayer and Holy Spirit leadership.
The act PREPAREDNESS – PLAN, PURPOSE & PURSUITS – is more than just making a NEW YEAR RESOLUTION. It’s a STRATEGIC RESOLVED and not a WISHY-WASHY intent that disappears after few days, weeks or months and on some baseless Prophecies that keeps many in a SLOTHFUL and SLUGGARD position for a magical miracle. You need to NOTE THIS –
“The outward manifestation of grace is the resolved of your secret dealings with the LORD GOD as His ambassador in Christ Jesus stead” Chukie Morsi Snr
No man goes to a STRONG man’s house UNPREPARED if you intend to POSSESS or DISPOSSESS him and his cohorts. Meaning, YEAR 2021 is at the cutting-edge in this anchor-leg generation of ADVANCING the kingdom of God and to KEEP the enemy and cohorts at bay; and as such, there’s the need to PREPARE yourself with the tools to ensure your goals, just as the HORSE is usually been PREPARED before the DAY of the BATTLE or RACE.
PREPARING as the HORSE means DILIGENTLY setting out PLAN with PURPOSE and the act of PURSUIT by the WORD and PRAYER in the graciousness and gracefulness of the Holy Spirit on God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Wisdom will demand you understand your TIME and OPPORTUNITY in order to take on your life endeavours for YEAR2021, otherwise you may be cut up suddenly with life challenges UNPREPARED and you know the end game for unpreparedness is simply – FAILURE of not to have PREPARED.
DON’T TAKE THE ACT OF DOING LIFE FOR GRANTED, NO MATTER YOUR CAREER OR DOINGS IN LIFE – BE PREPARED IF YOU MUST SUCCEED WITH GOD.
EVERY GRACE AND BLESSING.

** TURNING INTO A NEW DAWN – YEAR2021: DILIGENCE WILL ALWAYS PAY GOOD DIVIDEND!
GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL living is about working SMARTLY in FAITH and not about working HARD in FATE. And it’s not for the fear phobia’s, timid, fainter’s and cowards that easily give up, loose hearts and wave the white flags by any means but it’s for the emboldened in the FAITH that no matter what may, God is FAITHFUL and will REWARD DILIGENCE. For EFFECTUAL dividend comes through the Faith COMMUNICATION of the acknowledgement of the glorious goodness and gracious greatness in you by Christ Jesus as in the Holy Writ of Philemon 1:4-6.
Every DILIGENT beginning will surely increase GRACIOUSLY, GRACEFULLY and GLORIOUSLY. God had CALLED and BLESSED you, having FOREKNOWN you, PREDESTINATED you, FORGIVEN you, JUSTIFIED you and GLORIFIED you, so that ALL things being done by you through DILIGENCE might work together for your GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE and BLESSEDNESS in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. That’s God’s SET position for you in His PURPOSEFUL Sanctuary from the beginning. So get SET for the dawn coming YEAR2021. For there’s NO ROOM FOR THE SLUGGARD AND SLOTHFUL, because your FUTURE greatness is UNDENIABLE and IRREVOCABLE while you are on DILIGENT walk with the Lord. AMEN.
JUST KNOW THAT IN TURNING INTO A NEW DAWN – YEAR2021, THAT DILIGENCE WILL ALWAYS PAY GOOD DIVIDEND.BLESSED REGARDS AS YOU GET SET THROUGH DILIGENCE IN HOURS TO COME INTO YEAR2021.

“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.

** CONNECT AND SYNCHRONISE INTO YEAR2021 BY FAITH NOT BY FATE: ENTERING A TIMED YEAR WITH A TIMELESS GOD ON A TIMELESS WORD!
FAITH is Now – The Realm of the TIMELESS. And God lives by His TIMELESS WORD in a TIMELESS sphere and realm – called ETERNITY – IMMORTALITY. Humanity lives in a TIMED YEARLY count of a TIMED world – called MORTALITY. Hence we can say YEAR 2020 is ENDING and we are about STARTING another year but which may not be of the same outlook but is TIMED the same and it’s called YEAR 2021. And it is God who LIVES and REIGN in the TIMELESS realm of ETERNITY by His WORD, that DEFINES the humanity in the TIMED YEARLY count of the TIMED world; This is ONLY because DAY and NIGHT, YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES and SECONDS are same before God, while in humanity we do COUNT differently and are limited as a result.
The ONLY factor of connection and synchronising between the TIMED world of humanity and TIMELESS world of God is FAITH. FAITH is TIMELESS, it’s of the WORD of God and it is in the NOW and of ETERNITY, which operates through the indwelling human spirit in mankind, that enables one to live above the limitations of the TIMED world by the help of the TIMELESS WORD of TIMELESS timeline realm of God. FAITH is the only DE FACTO given to men to ENSURE and ASSURE, to AUTHENTICATE and ENACT, the difference so desired in order to be a MORE THAN CONQUERORS, to OVERCOME, to ACHIEVE, to THRIVE, to WIN, to SUCCEED and to TRIUMPH over all of the circumstances and limitations before humanity in mortality statuesque.
YEAR2020 ending and YEAR2021 starting are only in MEASURE by man, but not with God. Hence CONNECT and SYNCHRONISE by FAITH today and you will enjoy the FULLNESS of God with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS, rather than the making of those year to year UNACHIEVABLE and UNNECESSARY new year resolution with a BASELESS foundation that disappears or forgotten in few weeks or months time as it’s often done by many. TIMELESS FAITH is only operative by the TIMELESS WORD. You can ONLY PLEASE God by FAITH. Pleasing God brings about DILIGENCE that rewards and helps to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. CONNECT AND SYNCHRONISE INTO YEAR2021 BY FAITH NOT BY FATE BY THE ENTERING THE TIMED YEAR WITH A TIMELESS GOD ON A TIMELESS WORD.

** ENABLING THE GRACE FOR YEAR2021: It’s In Your PRIMARY And PURPOSEFUL Call!
The enabling GRACE for you to do life and live godly in YEAR2021, is in your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL call in life. That is to be WITH the LORD, wherein you will be EMPOWERED in Him in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM And SPEED.
Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter Year2021 and start marking unfounded New Year RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards.
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.
FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR2020 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR2020. This you do in these wise as an example:
** All those your SELF-WILLED power of rushing hours into your day before its dawn, has it made any difference in you without stress 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 THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL? And not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? And to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS? And noting especially all the HARDWORK instead of SMARTWORK you claimed to put in each day to make life WORTH LIVING?SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; instead of seeing you a SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living; also, my knowing full well that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you can be EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR2020 closing down and YEAR2021 starting up.
It’s your TIME To Be With The LORD to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING Nothing and just watching the day or YEAR2020 go bye into YEAR 2021 new start.
All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands, but to just be with Father God in the name of Jesus – by ONLY and SOLELY MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is in this act THEN He can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR2021 with His GRACE, 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 bidding without fail, stress and sweat.
I wants to promise you, 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 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.
IN SUMMARY:
** 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 not Stress, worry (anxiety), Pressure in walking in our own efforts.

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH unto him WHOM he WOULD: and they came unto him. 14 And he ORDAINED twelve, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM, and that he might SEND them forth to preach, 15 and to have POWER to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15.
“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.
“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.
“. . . 11 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 28:9-13.
“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.”God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.
** BUILD YOU LIFE & FAITH ON THE SURE WORD OF GOD: NOT ON MAN-MADE MAKE-UP BELIEVES & MERE PROPHECIES!
YEAR 2020 should be a LESSON for any wise person as I have always said overtime why you must BUILD LIFE and FAITH on THE WORD of God if you must ACHIEVE and SUCCEED with God. Otherwise, mere mortal men, in the name of God and not assuredly moved by the Holy Spirit, will make a caricature of you through your ignorance and vulnerability, to offer you vision and prophecies that are enticing to your sentimental desires. Open your eyes to search the Scriptures for your own good and favour as the Bereän Christian of Acts 17:10-13.
The Pandemic have proven while a mere one night crossover message and prophecies and NEW YEAR RESOLUTION is not what makes you BECOME in God, but it’s your DILIGENCE work of FAITH by God’s grace on the set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that gives you the enabling into the fulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 16:1-3, 7-9. Let the DEFINITION of you LIFE and FAITH in God, be by the WORD in the FACE of Christ Jesus, on that PREPARED – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – you’ve set forth for YEAR2021.
Know for SURE and CERTAINTY, that the NEW CREATION, which you are in Christ Jesus, have A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY in the light of the SCRIPTURES by the reason of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Therefore, do life and live godly, in the FACE of what Christ Jesus HAS DONE, HE’S DOING and will do in and through you by the Holy Spirit within you by God’s WORD, to make you BECOME what THE WORD said you ARE in Him and will be BY Him and THROUGH Him. This will save you from the falsehoods and errors around that have befallen many today.
If there be a PROPHECY or PROPHESYINGS, despised not at first but EXAMINE it by the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY if it be of God. Genuine PROPHECY or PROPHESYINGS is to bring about COMFORTS, EXHORTATION AND EDIFICATION; and not fear, intimidation, cursing, threatening and such like or the demands for tokens in cash or kind to make it come to pass. God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION and He does not CONFUSED His children.
I admonish you to SEEK after God today into the YEAR2021, through His WORD and not through men or man-made make believe, that will keep you in BONDAGE and under or towards them and not after or toward Christ Jesus. For you BECOME what and whom you BELIEVE. You are a product of your essence of BELIEVE. Today I charge you to BELIEVE God and His WORD in Christ Jesus stead, so that you can BECOME in Him whatsoever you want to be of Him.
You have a SURE WORD of PROPHECY which is the Holy Writs, that is speaking FORTH of what you ARE and you’ve BECOME in Christ Jesus. For the spirit of genuine PROPHECY is the TESTIMONY (TESTIFYING) of Jesus Christ; meaning it will draw and pull you towards God in Christ Jesus and not toward men. And it does not lead any to further BONDAGE or SLAVERY as to men or satan or self. The SURE WORD of PROPHECY which is of God in Christ Jesus, is not BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER and GRIEVOUS; but it liberates at no cost or charge, and is solely and only, being fulfilled in Christ Jesus as done for us in REDEMPTION; and it’s not on men’s DEMANDS for tokens in cash and or kind, to make it come to pass. As you get set TODAY to TURN INSIDE OUT YEAR 2021 into reality, take a STAND by the WORD through FAITH in God’s GRACE in Christ Jesus; and not a mere WISHY-WASHY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and man-made PROPHECIES to make you momentarily joyous and afterwards lost in disbelieve what you’ve become outside God by the evaporation of what wasn’t God’s SURE WORD OF PROPHECY that you ignorantly bank upon.
As we are set to turn into our TIMED TIMELINE YEAR2021, I wish you God’s BEST in His grace and BLESSEDNESS as you RESOLVE to make God’s WORD your SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to help you EXAMINE every other Prophecies and SAYINGS if they be of God, so that you can slide effortlessly, graciously and gracefully into and through YEAR2021 without hitches and regrets. That’s how you walk in the LIGHT and not in darkness in YEAR2021.

GREETINGS
Shalom and Kingdom greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you to the new dawn of YEAR 2021 – YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES! – Living The POSSIBILITY Life In Christ Jesus Stead – “The Year Of Thriving and Living In The Consciousness of God’s Righteousness In Christ Jesus For – Possible, The Greater, Colourful, Purposeful, Meaningful and Fulfilling Life in Christ Jesus Stead”; and also to DECADE2020S – THE DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE! “The Decade Of Being Significant By The Living WORD”. We also say welcome to new and existing recipients of our monthly Teaching newsletter, the Achievers’ FAITH Digest. I thank God for the year2020 that has gone by; and by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS we are entering into the 16th year of the AFD Monthly TEACHING publication.
And this kingdom business has been made all possible by the abundant supply of God’s enabling grace that was bestowed and given to me to carry on in this kingdom mandate and assignment. I am grateful for the constructive suggestions and other useful contributions that have kept the Kingdom mandate steady, constant and consistent over the years. I’m most grateful to God for His bestowed grace and sustenance; and the great insight and foresight that He made available through the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the blessed Holy Spirit which I have received over the years.
For those who have sown seeds into this ministerial work – I would like to say, “Thank You”. I pray that you will know and understand this word of King David as in: 1 Samuel 30:24 “. . . but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike”. Your generosity means that we are able to share the blessings that accompany this work. I pray that God keep inspiring, revealing and empowering you all, and to quench your thirst and feed your hungry being with His truth and righteousness through this sound, undiluted, and unadulterated ‘AFD Monthly TEACHING Publication.
I would also like you to know, that by your continuous feedback and testimonies we are inspired to aspire, to fuel and keep the flames of the altar burning, while trusting God to bring the vision for the New Year and for January through this edition to you. The Lord cares about you and wants to mature, establish, strengthen and settle you for all your losses. You are here, right now in the year 2021 in spite of all the challenging and difficulties time of YEAR 2020.
1 Peter 5:7-11 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in 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, 3 stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Finally, my heart is inditing a greener YEAR2021 in this DECADE 2020S with the spirit of Living the Greater Life of POSSIBILITIES. Through this theme and edition, come with me to Bethel for an encounter by THE WORD & PRAYER in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s a time to seek the Lord, wait on Him until we hear of and from Him and take on the year with a stronger spirit as we read in the Psalms:
Psalms 45:1-7 “My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows”.
Job 17:9 ”The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger”.
I am excited about God’s intentions as we finish the year stronger which is rejuvenating my heart with inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is being made available by the Holy Spirit into a stronger 2021 in this Decade 2020s as it has been themed respectively. And they shall be coined respectively as in this: YEAR 2021 – YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES – About LIVING THE POSSIBLE GREATER LIFE (YOP2021) and DECADE 2020S – DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE – About LIVING THE SIGNIFICANT LIFE (DOS2020S).
A YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES (YOP2021) AND DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE (DOS2020S)
The life of POSSIBILITIES and SIGNIFICANCE is about LIVING and THRIVING in DOMINION and EXALTATION. It is made possible through THRIVING in the consciousness of God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. And the following is an insight and foresight highlight to these realm:
** YOP2021/DOS2020S will be a great year and decade to stimulate faith, inspire godly living. It means that we are inspired to aspire in God’s image and will not expire or be burnt out – (Romans 6:14/Genesis 1:26-30).
** YOP2021/DOS2020S will be a year and decade crowned with God’s goodness and abundance as we believe, belong and become by the Word and prayer in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s our year of thriving with colourful living. You don’t need to fake till you become, just by being a doer of the Word, in prayer and in being led by the Spirit in every aspects of doing life, you become whom and what you believe – Psalms 65:1113/Psalms 92:11-15/Genesis 26:1-6, 12-14.
** YOP2021/DOS2020S is a year and decade of living the greater life because greater is He that’s in you than the he that’s in the World – 1 John 4:4/John 14:15-17, 26.
** YOP2021/DOS2020S is a year and decade of living for a cause, that is, a purposeful life and not a wishy-washy, aimless and clueless and causeless life style – 1 John 3:8/John 18:37.
** YOP2021/DOS2020S is a year and decade of living for fulfilment and not an unending goals of achieving results without satisfaction and fulfilment – Colossians 4:17.
** YOP2021/DOS2020S is a year and decade to maximise every opportunity within the God given time in order to earn fulfilling results. That includes understanding the time frame of grace and the wisdom to do life accordingly. Ecclesiastes 9:11-12/1 Chronicles 12:32/ Ecclesiastes 8:5/Psalms 90:12.
** YOP2021/DOS2020S is a year and decade to maximise our God given resources which are – Time, Effort (Strength/Talent) And Finance (Monetary – cash/kind) – with possible attitudes for our altitude and aptitude – Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11; Haggai 2:8; Mark 12:30; Genesis 8:22; Proverbs 24:10.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION:
There are and will be the PHILOSOPHICAL opinions on economy, politics, climatic conditions and various or diverse predictions that are plastered all over the internet, TV channels and radio stations about the YEAR 2021 and DECADE2020S. Some of the analyses are negative and or almost true in facts, while some with both negative and positive connotations, inconclusive or undecided conclusions and an undefined sense of understanding on what the future holds. Hence many may be making contingency plans to handle the unprecedented matters that may arise in course of the YEAR2021 and DECADE2020S as a response to their strategic mode of operandi in governance.
At this time of the year, different people choose different mediums to influence their decisions and resolutions for the coming year. Be it governments, spiritual leaders, family members and such likes. In all these, what it important to me for the believers is that the Scriptures encourage us as God’s people to attend to God’s word and to incline our ears to His sayings, because they are life and health, that is medicine – to our destiny, sustenance and ways of doing life as written in the scriptures of:
Proverbs 4:20-22; 5 “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health (medicine) to all their flesh” (Emphasis mine).
Beloved, it’s time to hear for yourself, that is, – attend, keep and incline – your ear to the Word of the Lord. There may be ‘facts’ to prove how our circumstances will turn out in YEAR2021 and DECADE2020S, but the good Lord wants you to ARISE and SHINE with the spirit of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE in the midst of the darkness that has befallen the world. The following scripture is God’s indicator of the light, to give you the leverage to live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in
YOP2021/DOS2020S.
Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising”.
Psalm 36:9 “They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light”
Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”
Isaiah 60:19-20 “The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended”
2 Peter 1:19 “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts”.
For each day in the new year the Lord has intended for you to arise, shine, celebrate and be glad in it according to Proverbs 4:18; Isaiah 60:19-20; 2 Peter 1:19. So, enter the new year with gladness no matter how dark it may seem; or how much the enemy of our faith wants to remind you of the years past; simply because this is your YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES (YOP2021) and DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE (DOS2020S) in Christ Jesus stead. As the word of the Lord came to me saying in this wise statement:
“Say to my people, as they incline their ears to hear my sayings and attend to my Words, I will guide and guard them to their promised blessing through and through; and as by the Spirit of promise, so shall my people be led to their place of salvation, deliverance, favour and peace through the Word and prayer over poverty, sickness and spiritual death; such that they can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life. I have brought my people to the place of POSSIBILITIES AND SIGNIFICANCE as they are called by my name and I am in their midst standing in righteousness. Let them know that as every star above in the sky shines, so shall every one of my people shine in the midst of the confusion in this world. Foreknowing that the light is superior to darkness, so shall they reign and rule, LIVING THE POSSIBILITIES AND SIGNIFICANCE LIFE. Then my people can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in my sovereignty and in the midst of darkness; for the daystar is come to dwell in our hearts and to cause us to shine and glory in all that pertains to doing life and godliness. Therefore, let my people ARISE, SHINE and walk in the path of the daystar who is the sure Word and through prayers and the leading of the Holy Spirit, to lighten them up as a star and reign and rule, LIVING THE POSSIBILITIES AND SIGNIFICANCE LIFE. For I the Lord am the fountain of life and in my light you will find life and the true light that will guide you to your destiny and places of rest”
Beloved, your response by the word of faith to the negatives and facts you see and hear determines how much of God’s word you will walk in; and how the Lord can crown YEAR2021 and DECADE2020S for you as you LIVE the POSSIBILITIES and SIGNIFICANCE life as set for your goodness and abundance; and as you serve Him in spirit and in truth through His leading. Triumph, dominion and victory are available to you as you incline your ear to the saying of the Lord for YEAR2 2021 and DECADE 2020S.
This is the year of LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE, a year to live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life with amazing opportunities, possibilities and surprises as an achiever, while serving the Lord and enjoying His goodness and abundance – “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 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” Psalms 65:11-13.

AFD DECEMBER 2020: EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST
MONTH DECEMBER 2020: EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BORN IN OUR HEARTS!
Month DECEMBER as all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Georgian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:
** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.
** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.
** The number 12 can also represent the church and faith in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.
While Month DECEMBER is unique in many ways, in terms of been the twelve as mentioned above, it’s also gracious to enhance the goodness and blessedness of the BEAUTY in DECEMBER as per the Scriptural writs of the month DECEMBER theme:
“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord“ Luke 2:11.
“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST“ Matthew 16:20.
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.
THIS DAY – BEING TODAY – LET – EMMANUEL – JESUS THE CHRIST – BE BORN – IN YOUR HEARTS. Upon this phrases in terms that the Month DECEMBER 2020 is Themed.
EMMANUEL – mean – God With Us – thus signifies God dwelling (or comes to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP between us and Him. We lost this FELLOWSHIP in Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS The Christ, RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead.
God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the Messiah, the Saviour, the Redeemer and the Holy one of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.
We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP that we might enjoy God and the heavens on earth again, so we can say that as He is, so are we in this world and can joyfully ask of His will in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth as it’s written in the Holy Writ – 1 John 4:17, Matthew 6:10. This is the REASON then for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which thus is:
“The Yearly And Annual COMMEMORATION And CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE In Christ Jesus And His REDEMPTION CAUSE On EARTH”
It is as we EXPLORE this relationship and fellowship of JESUS The Christ as our God EMMANUEL, who is now here living – IN us, FOR us and WITH us – that is when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered and we can then enjoy to the FULNESS the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore.
Today as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let us take advantage of the indwelling EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in fellowship and in our path of life – to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.
Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:
*Peace and goodwill toward men
*Hope, Faith & Love for men
*Fellowship and Relationship with God
* Salvation for all mankind and more.
However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned.
a. He’s no longer:
* The babe in the manger
* The servant to death
* The limited one and
* The Christ on the Cross.
b. He’s now the:
* God on the throne
* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)
* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and
* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).
May Christ be all that is mentioned above to you, this Day, this December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration. Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that Emmanuel comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” Matthew 1:23
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” 1 John 4:4
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures” Luke 24:44-45
“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” John 1:45
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4
“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1Corinthians 1:9.
“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.
“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

GOD IS FAITHFUL – There’s the need as His children to reciprocate His nature in us as endorsed in 2 Peter 1:1-4, 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 with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”
AFD November 2020 Theme – GOD IS FAITHFUL! – and it is about – “Thriving And Achieving Life Plan, Purpose And pursuit meaningfully and in fulfilment, through Faithfulness (being faithful) as God Is, In Christ Jesus Stead”. Amen.
1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord”
Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised”
Luke 18:1-8 “. . . 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 faith (Greek “pistis” – means faithfulness) on the earth?” (Emphasis Mine)
Luke 16:1-13 “. . .He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? No 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”.
Today we live in an age where faithfulness 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 from others while we may not be faithful ourselves even in the least of things.
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.
We need to know that our God is a faithful God. This is just one basic nature of God – FAITHFULNESS. We being His children cannot afford to live in any other way and expect to achieve greatness in life.
The Results of Being Faithful
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’s goals, we promote honesty, decency and healthy lifestyles.
In the scripture quoted at the beginning, Luke 18:7-8, Jesus asked a question about faithfulness. The word FAITH is translated ‘pistis’ in Greek, which denotes faithfulness in English. Jesus wondered how many would be faithful – to trust God and wait upon His Word – without seeking alternative solutions to life’s challenges; more so, to await faithfully until He returns in the midst of good and challenging times. The 2nd main text, Luke 16:1-13, 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.
God’s Faithful Nature
In achieving life’s 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:.
- God is faithful to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13
- God is faithful to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23
- God is faithful to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9
- God is faithful to forgive. 1 John 1:9
- God is faithful in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9
- God is faithful to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3
- God is faithful to accomplish His part in the assignment that he gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24
- God is a faithful creator. 1 Peter 4:19 . . . and many more of our God.
Know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture. Acts 17:24-29, Psalms 100:3. 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 – 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)
Faithfulness Applied
- A faithful employee – 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.
- A faithful employer – 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.
- Faithful in your relationships. This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society.
- 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’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s 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).
- 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.
- Faithfulness is also vital in a parent – child relationship. Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21; Proverbs 22:6
- Faithfulness in friendships. Proverbs 27:6, 10; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24.
Faithfulness Rewards:
- Abound with blessings. Proverbs 28:20
- Abound with health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20
- A refresher for others. Proverbs 25:13
- There will be increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21,23
- There will be eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b
Finally, as one with an achievers’ 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.
May you Be FAITHFULLY PROSPERED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead. Amen!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON THINK-TANK:
“Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 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. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again . . .20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” And His disciples heard it” Mark 11:12-14, 20-26 NKJV
“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified” Romans 8:28-30. NKJV
“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, 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” 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised . . . 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.
However, this NOVEMBER 2020 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

BEAUTIFY & COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH!
“Beautifying And Colouring Your New Creation Worlds In Faith, In God’s Blessedness In Christ Jesus Stead– By Creating, Innovating and exploring In The Cause Of Doing Life And Living Godly”
“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things” Romans 10:15.
“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).
“. . . 14 I will praise thee; for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE: MARVELOUS are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well . . .” Psalms 139:1-18.
“For I say, through the grace GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.
MONTH TO – BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH!
It’s our Time and Month to use our PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR THE WORLD’S we EARNESTLY desired and wants to see daily in LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:1-4. It’s your creative, innovative and exploring timeline and timeless opportunity to ensure that your well-being is an OUTCOME of your PRECIOUS FAITH in God by Christ Jesus stead and not an OUTCOME outside the TENET of your PRECIOUS FAITH – otherwise it will be religion, dogmas and further bondages – Galatians 5:1, 13; Galatians 3:1-14.
The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION, is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which gives us rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. Not only are we REDEEMED from these effects, we were and are ushered access to RECEIVE of God in Christ Jesus stead: POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, and BLESSING (Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-8).
The REDEMPTION ACCESS of God for us in Christ Jesus stead (Romans 5:1-2), TRANSFORMED (TRANSLATED, TRANSFIGURED) and POSITIONED us in His enabling grace from a SINNER to a SAINT; and therein we can now OFFER unto God a gracious and graceful WORSHIP WORTHILY and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in the FELLOWSHIP of His CHURCH. This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us firstly His in this Scriptural terms:
“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an Holy nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, BUT ARE NOW THE PEOPLE OF GOD: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy”1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.
Jesus in humanity INCREASE in His worlds sphere in – Wisdom, Physique, Favour With God and Favour With Men (Luke 2:52). He made known that He was/is in a beautiful and colour relationship that is unique with Father God of which we also have access to same Father God in creation and in Him today (John 10:30-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 1:26-27; Ephesians 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30).
God has given us BEAUTY for ASHES, OIL OF JOY for MOURNING and GARMENT OF PRAISE for THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS. He has also MADE us TRESS of RIGHTEOUSNESS – a planting of His own making, that He might be GLORIFIED (Isaiah 61:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 10:15).
Why LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ: God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21).
With REPENTANCE towards God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, you have access to all that’s good, beautiful and colourful in God (Acts 20:21; Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:22).
God has bestowed in you THE MEASURE of FAITH not A MEASURE of FAITH to enable you have your worlds (health, relationship, family, finance, career, business and such likes) beautify and coloured. This FAITH enables you to OVERCOME all the forces that are in and of the world been orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3; Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:3-5).
Therefore, make month OCTOBER to be your New Dawn to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR your WORLDS – and to make all things for good happen for now in LIFE and GODLINESS.THE CHOICE IS YOURS. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

Month To “BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH” In Christ Jesus Stead: Do your Life A Favour By Beautifying And Colouring Your ‘WORLDS’ Through ACKNOWLEDGED FAITH!
It’s a high priced time to decorate, colour and beautify your your worlds (family, career/skills, relationship to God/mankind, leadership, finance, ministry and such like) in the FAITH you stand in Christ Jesus stead.
You are the custodian of your happiness, joy, peace, dignity, honour and more. Stop looking for or pursuing your destiny as you may have being told. You destiny is embedded and endowed in you in Christ as a default when you were saved called, justified and glorified in fellowship in God in Christ Jesus – (1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30). You don’t have to run after anybody to get it or pursue after it as in the Old Testament reliance on others to reach out to God for your enabling. YOU ARE YOUR DESTINY – it’s a default in you in Christ Jesus stead if you are born of God (John 3:3, 5, 16; 1 Peter 1:22-24 ).
The scriptures declares you’ve been predestined of God in Christ to succeed, thrive and be happy – (Ephesians 1:3-11). Meaning you’ve been PREDESTINED to succeed and achieve that excellence, success and goodness that you so madly and crazily desired to have and become in Christ Jesus (John 1:12). Your destiny is the you in you in Christ. Beautify and Colour it in Christ in FAITH.
I don’t know what your ‘worlds’ seems to be at this very moment. But one thing I do know is that you can create the atmosphere of the gracious ‘worlds’ you will love to live on daily. Your FAITH in God through His WORD and by the working power of the blessed Holy Spirit can make all the difference (Hebrews 11:1-3).
Your intended worlds of excitement and rejuvenation, in respect to joy, peace, love, relationship, marriage, family, finance, career, ministry and more, are embedded and imbedded on and in your FAITH in Christ (Romans 1:16-17; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11).
For God makes all things beautiful in His time. You are a part of that beauty. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image and likeness as the scriptures do record about you and all. You can DECORATE, FRAME, COLOUR and BEAUTIFY your worlds today with the atmosphere you will really love to do life with. I pray you God’s grace and blessings as you remain steadfast in Faith to colour your worlds in Christ. For it’s your time to manifest the fragrance and aroma of grace through the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing DONE in you, DONE FOR you and being DONE THROUGH you in Christ – Philemon 1:6; 2 Corinthians 2:14). You are the reason why the earth was made and created – it’s now time for you to LIVE STRONG and LIVE REJUVENATING.
God SHINES throw His Church – The PERFECTION of His Beauty. You are God’s Church – that He’s building. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

PRECIOUS STONES – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE: YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH WITH PRECIOUS PROMISES ARE FOR YOUR BEAUTY AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
As PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike are for Value, Beauty and Grace, in same like is our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES, to Decorate and Beautify and Colour and Add Value to our Worlds, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
To be PRECIOUS is to be upheld in high esteem. It thus mean to be loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like.
PRECIOUS STONES is a name that is usually used in reference to four types of GEMS: Amongst DIFFERENT GEMS, there are only four PRECIOUS STONES – RUBY, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD and DIAMOND. And these PRECIOUS GEMSTONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds, are highly valued for their IMMENSE RARITY and HIGH-END BEAUTY, hence are known as PRECIOUS STONES. And with all the devaluation and falls in economic downturn and meltdown of most goods and services, the WORTH and PRICE tagged of PRECIOUS STONES have remained steadily steady and at high-end in many respects. Simply for the RARITY, BEAUTY, ADDED COLOUR and TAGGED VALUE that are attached on it. Yet they are perishable in Scriptural terms and Truth. None of any in WORTH possession can REDEEM a soul or gives LIFE and GODLY LIVING to anyone apart from the wealth value attached – (Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 1 Kings 10; 1 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 9; 2 Timothy 2:20; 1 Corinthians 3:12).
Unlike the earthly PRECIOUS STONES that are perishable in Scriptural terms, we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only have we obtained PRECIOUS FAITH, we have also been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in His BLESSEDNESS for us in Christ Jesus stead. What an awesome people we are to go therefore and decorate, colour and beautify our worlds of doing life and living godly with God’s graciousness and gracefulness of a PRECIOUS FAITH based and endowed on a PRECIOUS PROMISES. All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH in terms of been – eternal, priceless, rare, loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such likes.
Also, our Christ Jesus is described as being our imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE; and by Him we’ve been MADE a LIVELY STONES in GRACE, wherein we are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. And by our PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE Jesus Christ, we also have become a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that are designated to shew forth the praises of him who had called us out of the darkness of this world into his marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR.
Therefore, as PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike, are for beauty, wealth and grace; much more our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES are to Decorate, Beautify And Colour our Worlds in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.I pray you BECOME what God’s WORD says you are, and thereby ‘Decorate, Beautify and Colour Your Worlds In FAITH’, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13.
“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of GOLD AND OF SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and PRECIOUS, 5 ye also, as LIVELY STONES, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is PRECIOUS: but unto them which be disobedient, THE STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and A STONE of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.#
THINK TANK – MONTH OCTOBER – The Number 10: What’s Special About The Number Ten (10) – The Tenth Month OCTOBER!
Month OCTOBER is the Ten number Month of the Georgian Calendar Months. What then is so special about the Month that may WORTH pondering and considering into life matters. I say this because I have seen posts and statements of some indicating DOOM and GLOOM upon the month OCTOBER and some are even to the year; I sense all these are probably because of the event that has happened to them personally or the general feeling of the pandemic at the moment. However, herein are some few thoughts ( not mine) that I want you to look into and make a meaningful note for yourself:
1. What is the significance of the number 10 in the metric system?
In the metric system of measurement, designations of multiples and subdivision of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth . . .
2. What is special about the number 10:
“10 (ten) is an even natural number following 9 and preceding 11. Ten is the base of the decimal numeral system, by far the most common system of denoting numbers in both spoken and written language. The reason for the choice of ten is assumed to be that humans have ten fingers (digits).
3. What is special about the number 10?
Number 10 is known as a symbol of the authority of God and his government on the Earth. This number can also symbolise responsibility, law and completeness. Actually, number 10 is considered to be the symbol of obedience and responsibility of people towards the God’s law.
4. What does the number 10 mean in biblical numerology?
Number 10 in Bible is a symbol of perfection, harmony and creation. This number is one of the most powerful and most widely spread, as well as 3, 7 and 12. … It is also a number of integration, discipline, laws and wholeness. The phrase “God said” is repeated 10 times through Genesis.
5. Does the Bible say give 10 of your income?
A tithe is 10% of your income given specifically to your local church. (Fun fact: The word tithe literally means tenth in Hebrew.) . . . So, Scripture explains that 1) tithing is an important part of faith for those who follow God and 2) your tithe should be money you set aside first.
6. What does number 10 mean in Hebrew?
10. The gematria of the Hebrew letter י Yodh, or in Jiddisj: ‘Jud’ stands for ‘Jew (word)’ – it’s (therefore) linked to the tetragrammaton. The Ten Commandments (עשרה דיבריא, aseret ha-dibrot, literally “Ten Utterances”) The ten Plagues of Egypt.
These and such like not mentioned thus indicates that the number 10 and tenth Month October, means your DAYS, MONTHS and YEARS are crown of God for your GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s no room for you to regret at all in any of the Days and or Months and or Years, no matter the event or circumstances that befallen or before you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. The DAYS, MONTHS and YEARS are God MADE. Psalms 65:11-13; Psalms 118:24; Ecclesiastes 3:11. You should arise in your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and lovely COLOUR your WORLDS (person, family, finance, career, relationship and such like) in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s how you BECOME not only THE DIFFERENCE but MAKES THE DIFFERENCE as the NEW CREATION AMBASSADOR of Christ Jesus – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-15.There are TWELVE months in a year, and God have not only crown the months, but have made each MONTH to be FRUITFUL, that is, to THRIVE and be PRODUCTIVE after it’s kind for the good of the nations – you and your family. Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:1-2.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON THINK-TANK:
“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” Psalms 65:12-13 (Emphasis Mine).
“This is THE DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will rejoice and be glad in it” Psalms 118:24.
“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: IT SHALL BRING FORTH NEW FRUIT ACCORDING TO HIS MONTHS, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, AND THE LEAF THEREOF FOR MEDICINE” Ezekiel 47:12.
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare TWELVE manner of fruits, and YIELDED her fruit EVERY MONTH: and the LEAVES OF THE TREE were for the HEALING OF THE NATIONS” Revelation 22:1-2.

AFD MAY 2020 EDITION
GREETINGS:
Shalom! Redemption & Kingdom Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour-King Christ Jesus. And by the grace of Father God in Christ Jesus, my wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of the fifth Month – MAY in the LORD’S Year 2020 as He crown your life with the Year2020 themed – EXALTATION! “Living The EXALTED Life – To Thrive In The RIGHTEOUSNESS Of God In Christ Jesus!. For this cause we’ve set out in grace to earnestly pray on your behalf through the year, in the awesome, covenant, gracious and graceful, and precious name of our redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. We do also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter Publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2020.
As Month MAY is the fifth Month of Year 2020 Georgian Calendar, signifying PERFECTION – which is completeness, wholeness, maturity, fulfilment and fulness.
GRACE, the enabling of God to and for us to STAND and BECOME whatsoever we want to be in Him can be frustrated, utilised unrighteously and in vain or as a vain thing, where UNDERSTANDING is absent and misleading – Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21). It thus mean if only PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is all we have, the CONSEQUENCE of such is deadly to our walk and work of FAITH to STAND and BECOME in God in Christ Jesus. So it’s very imperative that every decisions – acts of FAITH we dare to put FORTH in the grace of God in Christ Jesus stead, must be well UNDERSTOOD, otherwise it will cost us the losses of – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion), and sometimes people’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD, no matter how much we’ve tried. In advancing the KINGDOM CAUSES of our God at any acts and intent of living, and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is not enough – UNDERSTANDING is imperative and immeasurable in all.
Therefore, it’s not enough to be ZEALOUS and PASSIONATE about anything, neither is it enough to be full of KNOWLEDGE; but until you come to the UNDERSTANDING of what you are passionate and knowledgeable about to carry out, you can’t go far to the fullness of what you can be in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.
There’s therefore then the need to crave for UNDERSTANDING in the grace of God wherein we STAND as God’s People so that we can be the very best of God’s intent in our REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES, otherwise we will be as good as a fool and ignorant. For it’s UNDERSTANDING that makes PASSION and KNOWLEDGE meaningful and fulfilling indeed.
I pray that Father God gives you the enabling UNDERSTANDING in His GRACE for the WISDOM and SPEED you dearly need to THRIVE, INNOVATE, CREATE, EXPLORE and INITIATE in everyway PURPOSEFULLY in this Dawn Month of MAY2020.
I pray that you might walk in UNDERSTANDING to enhance your PASSION and KNOWLEDGE in that cause you’ve chosen to follow in order to have a STAND and BECOME in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
May you UNDERSTAND by the Holy Spirit of UNDERSTANDING, all you intend to know in this GRACE wherein we STAND in order to OPERATE, ADMINISTER and MANIFEST in WISDOM and FULFILMENT to ensure and enhance your LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
Understanding will emancipate one from all IGNORANCE and ANSWER the QUEST of our times IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND in Christ Jesus. ENOUGH of what people say or didn’t say. It’s time to THRIVE in the midst of our TIME REALM CHALLENGES by the enabling of the TIMELESS GRACE through the UNDERSTANDING of TIMES by the Holy Spirit of UNDERSTANDING.
By this crave for understanding in the grace of God wherein we stand, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings through this publication edition, that the enabling grace of our God will be made available unto you and minister wholly to your well being – spirit, soul and body – in Jesus precious Name, Amen; even as it’s written in – 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13 and Colossians 2:9-10.
Also, I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.
Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified”.
Here Is The Wisdom For Today For The Quest Above!
A Colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, more so, when God’s intent for your life is to be whole, complete and full in all that pertains to life and godliness, for which Christ came to pay the ransom for our WHOLESOME REDEMPTION. The knowing and understanding of this God’s concept of grace for us is our RIGHTEOUSNESS in Him by Christ Jesus, which enable and make us to ride steadily and readily to enact our God given plans, purposes and pursuits to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness no matter where and when and how. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible and dignified, and the knowing and understanding that the greater one lives in you.
I pray you Blessed! Be empowered to succeed, triumph and be victorious and in dominion as you adhered to ensure the holy writ purpose of God about you and I, as in this month MAY.
In a nut shell, the theme EDITION could be characterised but not limited into this headings:
** ZEAL , which can be considered to mean PASSION is good –
But without knowledge, Zeal or Passion breeds ignorance and foolishness, bondage, man-made dogmas and creeds leading to all forms of falsehood.
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God” Romans 10:1-3“
** Knowledge is power or powerful and empowering. That Knowledge is power, powerful and empowering is not secured until there’s understanding. Knowledge without understanding puff up and breeds pride, arrogance, self and God’s resistance.
“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3.
“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 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 he careth for you” 1 Peter 5:5-7.
“Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded” James 4:5-8.
** The Crave For Understanding – The essence of understanding in all of our passion and knowledge cannot be underestimated by any measured. Understanding breeds wisdom. and by wisdom we thrive to greatness are founded, built, established and fortified.
“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment” 1 Chronicles 12:32.
“O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients,
because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding“ Proverbs 4:7.
“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.
** God’s Grace is to give us the enabling to stand and become what He wants us to be. It might be true that God’s grace is the enabling to make us stand in faith and become in God, but it’s purpose could be frustrated, utilised unrighteously and misappropriated for vain acts or intent.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.
“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.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened“ Romans 1:18-21.
** Good understanding attracts God’s Divine Favour, ignoring Understanding breeds difficulty and unproductivity: The Grace That Reigns And Works Through understanding attracts God’s divine favour and brings about the leverage ove challenging and difficult moment.
“Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard (Difficult, challenging, unproductive)” Proverbs 13:15
“The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead (ignorant, unproductive, foolish)” Proverbs 21:16
Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:
“Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, and Christ shall GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, BUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS” Ephesians 5:14-17.
“And of the children of Issachar, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel OUGHT to do; the HEADS of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: AND WITH ALL THY GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).
“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Foolish, Ignorant, Unproductive)” Proverbs 21:16.
“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL IN ALL WISDOM AND SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING; 10 that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12 giving thanks unto the Father, which hath MADE us meet to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins . . .” Colossians 1:9-20.
“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to GIVE THANKS FOR YOU, MAKING MENTION OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, MAY GIVE UNTO YOU the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 FAR ABOVE ALL principality, and power, and might, and dominion, AND EVERY NAME THAT IS NAMED, NOT ONLY IN THIS WORLD, BUT ALSO IN THAT WHICH IS TO COME: 22 and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head OVER ALL THINGS TO THE CHURCH, 23 which is his body, the FULNESS of him that filleth all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23.#

Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error”
2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him“

AFD DECADE 2020S THEME
GREETINGS:
Shalom and Kingdom greetings in the significant name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you to the new dawn of DECADE 2020S – THE DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE “The Decade Of Being Significant By The Living WORD”. We also say welcome to new and existing recipients of our monthly Teaching newsletter, the Achievers’ FAITH Digest. I thank God for the DECADE that has gone by and by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, we are entering into a new dawn decade era of the AFD Monthly TEACHING publication.
And this kingdom business has been made all possible by God’s graciousness and gracefulness in the abundant supply of His enabling grace that was bestowed and given to me to carry on in this kingdom mandate and assignment. I am grateful for the constructive suggestions and other useful contributions that have kept the Kingdom mandate steady, constant and consistent over the years. I’m most grateful to God for His bestowed grace and sustenance; and for the great insight and foresight that He made available to me through the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the blessed Holy Spirit which have guided and guarded me through the years in this plight to advance the kingdom of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, via this MONTHLY TEACHING DIGEST.
For those who have sown seeds into this ministerial work – I would like to say, “Thank You”. I pray that you will know and understand this word of King David as in: 1 Samuel 30:24 “. . . but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike”. Your generosity means that we are able to share the blessings that accompany this work. I pray that God keep inspiring, revealing and empowering you all, and to quench your thirst and feed your hungry being with His truth and righteousness through this sound, undiluted, and unadulterated ‘AFD Monthly TEACHING Publication.
I would also like you to know, that by your continuous feedback and testimonies we are inspired to aspire, to fuel and keep the flames of the altar burning, while trusting God to bring the vision for the New DECADE through this edition to you. The Lord cares about you and wants to mature, establish, strengthen and settle you for all your losses. You are here, right now in the DECADE 2020S in spite of all.
1 Peter 5:7-11 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in 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, 3 stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Finally, my heart is inditing a greener DECADE 2020S with the spirit of Living the Greater Life in significance. Through this edition, come with me to Bethel for an encounter by the WORD & PRAYER in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s a time to seek the Lord, wait on Him until we hear of and from Him and take on the year with a stronger spirit as we read in the Psalms:
Psalms 45:1-7 “My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows”.
Job 17:9 ”The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger”.
I am excited about God’s intentions as we’ve finished the previous DECADE stronger which is rejuvenating my heart with inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is being made available by the Holy Spirit into a stronger 2020 which we have themed: DECADE 2020S A DECADE OF SIGNIFINANCE – “Being Significant By The Living WORD”.
A DECADE OF SIGNIFINANCE – Being Significant By The Living WORD
“Being SIGNIFICANT By The Living WORD” is about LIVING and THRIVING in DOMINION and SIGNIFICANCE. This is made possible through THRIVING in the consciousness of God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. And the following is an insight and foresight highlight to this EXALTED LIFE realm:
** DECADE2020S is a DECADE that will stimulate faith, inspire godly living. It means that we are inspired to aspire in God’s image and will not expire or be burnt out no matter what betides us – (Romans 6:14/Genesis 1:26-30).
** DECADE2020S will be a DECADE crowned with God’s goodness and abundance as we believe, belong and become by the Word and prayer in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s our decade of thriving towards colourful living. You don’t need to fake till you become, just by being a doer of the Word, in prayer and in being led by the Spirit in every aspects of doing life, you become whom and what you believe – (Psalms 65:1113/Psalms 92:11-15/Genesis 26:1-6, 12-14).
** DECADE2020S is a DECADE of living the greater life because greater is He that’s in you than the he that’s in the World – (1 John 4:4/John 14:15-17, 26).
** DECADE2020S is a DECADE of living for a cause, that is, a purposeful life and not a wishy-washy, aimless and clueless and causeless life style – (1 John 3:8/John 18:37).
** DECADE2020S is a DECADE of living for fulfilment and not an unending goals of achieving results without satisfaction and fulfilment – (Colossians 4:17).
** DECADE2020S is a DECADE to maximise every opportunity within the God given time in order to earn fulfilling results. That includes understanding the time frame of grace and the wisdom to do life accordingly. (Ecclesiastes 9:11-12/1 Chronicles 12:32/ Ecclesiastes 8:5/Psalms 90:12).
** DECADE2020S is a DECADE to maximise our God given resources which are – Time, Effort (Strength/Talent) And Finance (Monetary – cash/kind) – with possible attitudes for our altitude and aptitude – (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11; Haggai 2:8; Mark 12:30; Genesis 8:22; Proverbs 24:10).
PROPHETIC DECLARATION:
Philosophical opinions on economy, politics, climatic conditions and predictions are plastered all over the internet, TV channels and radio stations about the Decade 2020S. Some of the analyses are negative, while some with both negative and positive connotations, inconclusive or undecided conclusions and an undefined sense of understanding on what the future holds. Hence many making contingency plans to handle the unprecedented matters that may arise in DECADE2020S as a response to strategic governance.
At this time of the year, different people choose different mediums to influence their decisions and resolutions for the coming year. Be it governments, spiritual leaders, family members and such likes. In all these, what it important to me for the believers is that the Scriptures encourage us as God’s people to attend to God’s word and to incline our ears to His sayings, because they are life and health, that is medicine – to our destiny, sustenance and ways of doing life as written in the scriptures of:
Proverbs 4:20-22; 5 “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health (medicine) to all their flesh” (Emphasis mine).
Beloved, it’s time to hear for yourself, that is, – attend, keep and incline – your ear to the Word of the Lord. There may be ‘facts’ to prove how our circumstances will turn out in DECADE2020S, but the good Lord wants you to ARISE and SHINE with the spirit of LIVING THE SIGNIFICANT LIFE in the midst of the darkness that has befallen the world. The following scripture is God’s indicator of the light, to give you the leverage to live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in DECADE2020S.
Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising”.
Psalm 36:9 “They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light”
Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”
Isaiah 60:19-20 “The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended”
2 Peter 1:19 “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts”.
For each day in the new decade the Lord has intended for you to arise, shine, celebrate and be glad in it according to Proverbs 4:18; Isaiah 60:19-20; 2 Peter 1:19. So, enter the new decade with gladness no matter how dark it may seem; or how much the enemy of our faith wants to remind you of the years past; simply because this is your decade of LIVING A SIGNIFICANT LIFE. As the word of the Lord came to me saying in this wise statement:
“Say to my people, as they incline their ears to hear my sayings and attend to my Words, I will guide and guard them to their promised blessing through and through; and as by the Spirit of promise, so shall my people be led to their place of salvation, deliverance, favour and peace through the Word and prayer over poverty, sickness and spiritual death; such that they can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life. I have brought my people to the place of LIVING THE SIGNIFICANT LIFE as they are called by my name and I am in their midst standing in righteousness. Let them know that as every star above in the sky shines, so shall every one of my people shine in the midst of the confusion in this world. Foreknowing that the light is superior to darkness, so shall they reign and rule, LIVING THE SIGNIFICANT LIFE. Then my people can live the greater, thriving, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life in my sovereignty and in the midst of darkness; for the daystar is come to dwell in our hearts and to cause us to shine and glory in all that pertains to doing life and godliness. Therefore, let my people ARISE, SHINE and walk in the path of the daystar who is the sure Word and through prayers and the leading of the Holy Spirit, to lighten them up as a star and reign and rule, LIVING THE SIGNIFICANT LIFE. For I the Lord am the fountain of life and in my light you will find life and the true light that will guide you to your destiny and places of rest”
