AFD AUGUST 2017 EDITION
GREETINGS:
Shalom & Kingdom Greetings! 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 eight Month – AUGUST in the LORD’S year 2017 as He crown your life with the Year2017 themed – POSSIBIBLITIES. For this cause we’ve set out in grace to earnestly pray on your behalf through the year, in the awesome and covenant, gracious and graceful, 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 2017.
As Month AUGUST is the eight Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it’s considered as our month of exercising the spirit of taking charge and control, dominion, innocence, guiltless, sinless consciousness as once entrusted to Adam after God rested on the seventh day, though he failed God in Eden of Genesis. The number EIGHT speaks as NEW BEGINING day or NEW day of BEGINING to exercise the rights and privileges entrusted to man to be God’s ambassador, embassy and representative on Earth; therefore, in the light with the Father God mandate in our REDEMPTION and by the reason of what our REDEEMER, Saviour and Lord Christ has done for us in REDEMPTION, this Month AUGUST 2017 EDITION of the AFD is themed: AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! A month of “The PATH To A DIGNIFIED Life”.
To August is to be – graciously dignified, profoundly honoured, befitting status of Lord and Lordship, eminence, majestic and venerable. Therefore, to “August in the RIGHTEOUSNESS” of God which is of Christ, puts one in a unique pedestal of God’s eternal plans, purposes and pursuits. Upon this I welcome you to the PATH to August your life in – RIGHTEOUSNESS!
A Parallel to this same theme published in 2015 can be obtained in this link:
By this knowledge and understanding, 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 AUGUST theme – AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! “The PATH To Live A DIGNIFIED Life” while awaiting His return. Amen!
In a nut shell, the theme EDITION could be characterised but not limited into this headings:
** Receive Addition By God’s Righteousness – The Righteousness Which Is Of FAITH In Christ Jesus – Not Man’s Ordinance, Oblation, Creed And Customised Tradition of Bondage!
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33
“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. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)” Romans 10:1-6.
** In The Kingdom, Kings Rule & Reign – But Thrones Are Established By Righteousness! To August – Reign & Rule – In Life As The REDEEMED Royal Priesthood That’s Made King & Priest Unto God – You Need To Be Established In The Righteousness Of God In Christ Jesus. Amen!
“It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness” Proverbs 16:12.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the …seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
“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“ 1 Peter 2:5, 9.
** The Work & Effect To AUGUST Your Life In Righteousness – PEACE, QUIETNESS & ASSURANCE Forever! Righteousness – the Kingdom streamline to AUGUST life, is the right of grace to stand upright in faith before Father God without fear, guilt, shame and to be undaunted by the accuser of the brethren, the devil.
The Scriptures indicates that the kingdom of God is not just food, drink and pleasures only, but Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost. When we seek the …kingdom of God firstly, and His righteousness, which is, His will, commanded deed and ways of doing & living life, ALL other things – food, drink, pleasures and more will be added unto us accordingly..
Righteousness works, promotes and enhances PEACE with God, self and others. PEACE – which means concord, agreement, harmony and a mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts. The resultant of righteousness is innermost quietness or resolve, assurance and exaltation. I pray that as you resolve for righteousness, may you experience the work and effect of the grace of God in this regard.
“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33.
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.
“And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:18.
** Awaits You Is The CROWN of Righteousness – By The Righteous Judge: August Your Life To Earn It – Strive Righteously!
It’s awesome, gracious and graceful to stand before Father God’s presence, day by day until final day, without the sense of guilt, or inferiority or sin consciousness. That is to be a crown of the believer’s life. There’s A CROWN of righteousness laid up and awaiting ALL who August their life in righteousness by – fighting the good fight of righteousness, finishing the good course of righteousness and keeping the faith of righteousness while on this side of the heavens as Apostle Paul affirmed to Received.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.
“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits” 2 Timothy 2:1-6.
** To Achieve Greatness With God’s Grace For Divine Favour: It’s The Grace That Reigns And Works Through The Righteousness of God In Christ Jesus – Nothing More, Nothing Less! There You Reign In Grace With Outpouring Favour of God. Anything otherwise is man’s oblation, creed, ordinance and traditions that leads to bondage at the end – which many are trapped inside today!
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . .21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.
** The Path To August A Dignified Life – It’s In God’s Presence: The Righteousness of God In Christ Jesus! It exalts, promotes, illuminates more and more, brighter and brighter until the dawn of the complete work of grace is perfected in us. For we saved, we are been save, and we shall be save.
“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
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people“ Proverbs 14:34.
** Let Your Path & Steps Be Ordered In Righteousness By The Lord: There You Can August Your Life With Light & Will Not Beg For Bread!
“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” Psalms 37:23-25.
** Your Fulness In God Is In Christ Jesus, and He’s The Head And Above ALL Power & Authority In The Universe!
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power“ Colossians 2:9-10.

** Communicate Your Faith In Order To Appropriate Your Being Complete – Whole And Perfected – In Christ. This You Can Do By The Acknowledging of Every Good Thing Done In You, Being Done In & Through You In Christ Jesus! Amen.
“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6.
** Don’t Be Mistaken By Any For Whatsoever – You Are Complete & Made Righteous In Christ Jesus In God! That Settles It!
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.
“For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words . . . And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:1-4, 10.
Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:
“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. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to ever…y one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:1-13.
However, this Month AUGUST 2017 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”.

James 4:13-17 “Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
Luke 12:15 (13-21) “. . . And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully . . .”

August 2011 Theme
Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord & Saviour King – Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. With awesome privilege, I gladly welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this MONTH of AUGUST 2011 Themed: “Envision to Reign in Life”.
Jeremiah 17:12 “12 A glorious high throne from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary”.
May I begin by saying that you are redeemed of God to reign in life through Christ Jesus our Lord. This is absolutely certain, a fact and truth to all areas of our life. It’s not limited to certain group, class, gender or colour of people. But its a choice of life for all in Christ Jesus our Lord. God wants you to reign in life hence Christ paid for your liberty and freedom to reign in life. To reign over Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual death. Much more, over all the effects that these three elements have cause to humanity in all aspect of livelihood, be it in Business, Marriage, Family, Politics, Career, Leadership, Community Cohesion and National Unity. Hence to reign in this context is much more about being able to predominate, take charge, to govern, to rule, to prevail, to triumph, to achieve, to bring under control, to direct and to lead etc.
Revelation 5:9-10 “9 And they sang a new song, saying: “ You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall REIGN on the earth.“
Romans 5:17 “17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will REIGN in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)”
To Envision is to imagine possible, conceive of, see of ones mind, envisage, ideate, picture to oneself, visualize, figure, image, see etc of the plan, purpose, and pursuit of God in your life to succeed, triumph, overcome, win and achieve greatness. Ignorance of these will hinder you to august (inspire, grand, noble, honour, admire) your life to reign as in these Scriptures:
Proverb 21:16 “16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.”
Proverb 13:15 “15Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard (difficult).”
More importantly your inability to envision will not only cost you dearly, but will make you be a murmurer, complainer and a proverb as in Ecclesiastes 10:6-7:
“6 Folly is set in great dignity, While the rich (*) sit in a lowly place. 7 I have seen servants on horses, While princes (**) walk on the ground like servants.”
(* 2 Cor. 8:9; Eph. 1:7;, 2:4, 7; 3:8; Phil 4;19; Col 1;27; 2:2) (** Rev. 1:5-6; 5:9-12)
This is the exact event that happened to the man describe in the Bible Scripture of Mark 8:22-26:
“22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. 24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” 25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town.”
When Jesus spit into the blind man eye that he may see (envision) his sight to greatness, the man failed the first test when Jesus asked him what do you see (envision). He said he saw men like trees walking. That’s how some people in the kingdom are today. They can see fully the television of life but can’t envision or perceive the light of the scripture in their life, hence can’t achieve, win, and triumph by the scripture in most of their life battles. Thank God for Jesus, gave the man another opportunity. He needed to do it again for the blind man to see (envision) his life clearly. If you are in this state, this theme is made or assigned for you as a wake up call for you to arise and envision so that both you and those that you could have affected positively can now at least one more time begin to experience the glorious changes needed to reign in life.
Jeremiah was limiting himself in Jeremiah 1:6. He claimed to be a child or novice in spiritual leadership and probably things that pertains to life and godliness in the kingdom. However, in Jeremiah 1:7-10, the Lord spoke into him the words of grace and asked him a question as in Jeremiah 1:11-12 “What do you see”. In other words, what do you envision. The Lord knows that his power to see (envision) will grant him insight and foresight in all that pertains to God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for him to reign and achieve in life as he did eventually, being one of the major Prophets of the bible days. The envision answers to the Lords quest to him was the turning point of the fear and obscure man into a glorious location as in Jeremiah 17:12.
This is the same statement of life that the Lord brought before our father of faith – Abraham in Genesis 13:14-18. The Lord God said to Abraham that as far as he can see (envision) so can he possess for an inheritance – Genesis 13:15.
Until prophet Isaiah – King Uzziah – died (Isaiah 6:1-9), he could not see (envision) the glorious positioning of his life and ministry. When the flesh died out of him, Isaiah for the first time saw (envision) the fullness of His destiny in God. The rest are history today!
There is hope for you today for the Porter’s second touch, that you may picture clearly, the path of life for you and you to reign in life. For a clear cut envision of and in life will help you do life without stress, sweat, struggle and pain.
However, more of this theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the month. I gladly welcome you, friend and family if you have one to be with us in Fellowship and Worship. I promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God.
Until then, have an amazing, majestic and awesome MONTH of gracious opportunity to AUGUST your life and REIGN according to the Scriptures.
In Christ Love,
Pst Chukie.
