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.

GOD HAS MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIMELESS TIMELINE FOR OUR TIMED TIMELINE – LET US TAKE ADVANTAGE AS HIS CHILDREN TO MAKE DO WITH IT NOW – NOT TOMORROW, BUT RIGHT NOW, START LIVING ON HIS BEAUTIFUL INTENT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

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.

May the LIGHT of God in Christ Jesus illuminates you in this Year 2021, that He becomes your FOUNTAIN OF LIFE. Therefore, in this Year 2021, I declare and decree that it shall be your YEAR OF ALL POSSIBILITIES; that the MOUNTAINS becomes a PLAIN, VALLEYS be FILLED and EXALTED, the CROOKED PATH and ROADS of life limitations becomes STRAIGHT and the Rough PLACES becomes SMOOTH, simply because you are a carrier of God’s POSSIBILITIES DNA. For every places the sole of your feet shall tread upon, shall be yours for the taken, and everything your hands shall touch shall be crown with God’s goodness, grace, wisdom, blessing and speed, in Jesus precious name, Amen!

May the grace of Numbers 6:24-26, be with you accordingly as it’s written:

“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”

I COMMEND you to God and His WORD and the POWER of His grace, that by the effectual Holy Spirit enabling, that as you GO FORTH in this MIGHT of POSSIBILITIES today, it shall be to you an onwards and upwards trend of altitude; that you may BECOME what you BELIEVE of God, in and for YEAR 2021 in Jesus precious name.

“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: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Luke 1:37“For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her . . . 45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord“

They said unto him, YEA, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU (BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE). 30 And their EYES WERE OPENED; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

** 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.

The present challenges in time can only get better over time; and it’s already evolving a new DAWN of creativity, innovation, exploring and initiatives that will take care of the New DAWN. It’s about living in the consciousness of God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus towards all things that pertains to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to take advantage STAND in the NEW BECOMING.

My Heart Is Inditing graciously and gracefully of this DECADE wherein we are and the start up and upcoming YEAR 2021. As a DECADE OF BEING SIGNIFICANT and with all the the current YEAR 2020 have offered and shown us in every phase of doing life; an ASSURED in the light of God’s WORD, that YEAR 2021 will be the “YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES”; and being a TWENTY-TWENTY-ONE, wherein one means FIRST, signifying a NEW DAWN, a NEW BEGINING, to override all WALLS of 2020 defilement.

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.

Therefore come along with me to the place called BETHEL (Genesis 35) for an encounter by the WORD and PRAYER in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It’s Seven Days of BETHEL Encounter which starts Sunday 3, January 2021 till Sunday January 10, 2021. Come to BETHEL with me for three reasons though not limited:

** For the Horse is PREPARED against the Day of BATTLE and SAFETY is of the Lord – Proverbs 21:31/Proverbs 16:1-9.

** And a person of PURPOSEFUL DILIGENCE will be rewarded to stand in the place of honour and dignity – Proverbs 22:28-29/Hebrews 11:6.

** A person of KNOWLEDGE will be strong and STRONGER than the person waiting for a mere man-made Prophecy that are unscriptural but to the satisfaction of the belly to advert the hearers. Proverbs 24:5; Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12; Jeremiah 3:15; Psalms 84:7; Philippians 4:13.

Come, lets make BETHEL encounter and experience happen for our good in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“The horse is PREPARED against the DAY OF BATTLE: but safety is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS (PREPARATION) of the heart BELONG to man, But the [wise] answer of the tongue is from the Lord . . . 3 COMMIT YOUR WORKS to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], AND YOUR PLANS WILL SUCCEED [if you respond to His will and guidance] . . . 9 A MAN’S MIND PLANS his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS HIS STEPS and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1, 3, 9 (Amplified).

“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).

“PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“O You who HEAR prayer, To You all mankind comes” Psalms 65:2 (Amplified).

“CALL to Me and I will ANSWER you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish” Jeremiah 33:3 (Amplified).

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a MOUNTAIN TO PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

** 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.

“The PLANS of the mind and ORDERLY thinking BELONG to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] ANSWER of the tongue. 2 All the WAYS of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord WEIGHS the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart). 3 ROLL your WORKS upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will CAUSE your THOUGHTS to BECOME agreeable to His will, and] so shall your PLANS be ESTABLISHED and SUCCEED . . . 7 When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, He MAKES even his enemies to be at peace with him . . . 9 A man’s mind PLANS his way, but the Lord directs his STEPS and makes them SURE” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9 (Amplified).

“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the RACE is not to the SWIFT, nor the BATTLE to the STRONG, neither yet BREAD to the WISE, nor yet RICHES to men of UNDERSTANDING, nor yet FAVOUR to men of SKILL; but TIME and CHANCE happeneth to them all. 12 For man also KNOWETH not his TIME: as the FISHES that are TAKEN in an EVIL net, and as the BIRDS that are CAUGHT in the SNARE; so are the SONS of men SNARED in an EVIL TIME, when it FALLETH SUDDENLY upon them” Ecclesiastes 9:11-12.

** 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.

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

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (Honour, Dignity); he shall not STAND before MEAN (Sluggard, Obscured) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“Though thy BEGINNING was SMALL, yet thy LATTER end should GREATLY INCREASE” Job 8:7.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“To EVERYTHING there is a SEASON, A TIME for every PURPOSE under heaven . . . 11 He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 (Amplified).

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the WORLD. And this is the victory that has OVERCOMES the WORLD—our FAITH. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“NOW FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things not SEEN. 2 For by IT the elders OBTAINED a good testimony. 3 By FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that the things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which are VISIBLE . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM: for he that COMETH to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.”When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

** 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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

They said unto him, Yea, Lord. ²⁹Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. ³⁰And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. ³¹But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country”.

1 John 5:3-5 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. ⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”.

Philemon 4-6 “I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, ⁵hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; ⁶that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus“.

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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“The mighty God, even the Lord, hath SPOKEN, and CALLED the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of ZION, the PERFECTION of BEAUTY, God hath SHINED” Psalms 50:1-2.

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24.

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.

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL (Colourful) and APPROPRIATE in its time.

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.

“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.

HOLDING FORTH THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH – TO BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR: IN PURE CONSCIENCE TOWARD GOD & TOWARD MEN!

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

“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.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

However, Further details of this OCTOBER 2020 theme along with the DECADE 2020S and YEAR 2020 themes 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”.

Until then, have a crown DECADE2020 – THE DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE “The Decade Of Being Significant By The Living WORD”; and YEAR 2020 YEAR OF EXALTATION: LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE “The Year Of Thriving In The Consciousness of God’s Righteousness In Christ Jesus For The Greater, Colourful, Purposeful, Meaningful and Fulfilling Life”; and Month OCTOBER 2020 – 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 Order To Enact The Cause Of Doing Life And Living Godly”

AFD OCTOBER 2016 EDITION

GREETINGS:
Shalom! Kingdom & Redemption Life Greetings!! WELCOME to the new and existing recipients of the Achievers’ FAITH Digest, the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publication of Year 2016. More so, welcome to this gracious and graceful October Month, which is the tenth month of the leap year and is themed: TRANSFORMING OUR WORLDS IN PRAYERS! “Giving The Heavens The Permission In our Earthly Affairs”

I gracefully and graciously welcome you into this October month of transforming our worlds through prayers by abounding in the presence of our God; A time of giving the heavens the permission to make the desire change or changes you so greatly desire to happen to you. And upon that I do pray that His grace, peace, love and mercy might take hold of you for this cause, with all things under your feet and control according to the Holy covenanted Scriptures as written and spoken concerning you in Christ Jesus precious name, Amen!

Luke 9:28-29 “And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. ²⁹And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering”.

Psalms 16:11 “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore“.

Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. ²And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God“.

It’s time now to stop the well long enough static stay on the mount. The struggling and standstill in your path of progress. You can by today and through this month overturn THAT mountain to become a plain by engaging your life through the awesome acts of prayers. I mean, being transformed into the realm of the outpouring of God’s favour in everyway of your worlds.

This is the Month of engaging your life in a different dimension with our Father God. It’s not the acts of living BY Prayers, that is, whenever you like or when at trouble time only; but living life IN Prayers if you must have your worlds completely transform as Jesus did and experience in His earthly ministry with the Father God; which the Apostles also follow suits and experience God’s shekinah glory and presence to influence their worlds as they walk on this earth just as us today. We are either living in God’s presence of being IN PRAYERS to be transformed from glory to glory or we are conforming to the detects of our circumstances to relate and commune with our Father God whenever it pleases us. To be transformed is to win and succeed while to be conformed is to fail and be made captive by the foe of our faith in Christ Jesus.

Personal & National Prayer Walls: Do You Have One? There’s the need to have one if you MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and difference in an Earthly life before God and mankind. Changing the course of human history by divinity, eternally is possible – Isaiah 38:1-8.
* When There’s No Rain (Productivity & Economic stunted) to thrive and for growth.
* When The Locusts (Economic recessions & Austerity Measures) invades & rules the land (Nations).
* When Pestilence (Divers kinds of continuous Diseases & Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.
“If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

IN PRAYER: The Antidote To National ills! -1 Timothy 2:1-4.
Awakening calls to changing the course of your nation through PRAYERS – It’s The Believer’s In Christ Inescapable & Supreme Task! This should become the Personal & National Prayer Walls task to turn the hearts of kings & leaders if we must stop complaining and blaming Politicians who are human’s and limited in every phase to meet the needs of others beyond their self-centered and selfish ends. There’s the need to awaken to this TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect & the difference we care about in an earthly Life before our God, community and humanity. Making the changes, difference and the course of human history eternally is a must for the good of all in prayers.
Making a difference & impact through prayers as written:
* When There’s No Rain (Productivity & Economic stunted) to thrive and for growth.
* When The Locusts (Economic recessions & Austerity Measures) invades & rules the land (Nations).
* When Pestilence (Divers kinds of continuous Diseases & Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.
“If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. ³Give us day by day our daily bread. ⁴And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. ⁵And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; ⁶for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? ⁷and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. ⁸I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. ⁹And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. ¹⁰For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. ¹¹If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? ¹²Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? ¹³If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”

However, this OCTOBER 2016 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”.

Until then, have a crown Year 2016, being our year of – The GREATER Life: A year of “Colouring, Thriving & Blossoming Your WORLDS By The Greater Life In Christ Jesus”.

In His Kingdom Business For His Glory,

FEBRUARY 2013 THEME

Posted by RLIC Admin on February 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Shalom! Kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Lord & Saviour King – Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. With majestic privilege, I gladly welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this Month of FEBRUARY 2013, which is THEMED: CALLED & ANOINTED FOR A CAUSE! Believe it, Receive It & Live It. It’s time to activate, arise and go forth to fulfil that cause wherein you are called and anointed which is within you, upon you and for you.

“God does not call the equipped, He equip the called. Meaning, He anoint only the called to accomplish His plan, purpose and pursuit in them. Those who are available not those who have ability. For men ability and self equipping are filthy rages before God. Every call requires an Anointing, very anointing carries a RESPONSIBILITY“

Hence, this month of FEBRUARY is your month to ACTIVATE the anointing of God in you, in other to enhance and to achieve your God given kingdom goals, For therein you are called in all things that pertain to life and godliness. Hence some of our scriptures for the theme reads –

John 18:36-37 “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. ³⁷Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”

Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”

1 John 3:8 “That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”

Luke 4:18-21 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, ¹⁹To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. ²⁰And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. ²¹And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. ”

Isaiah 61:1-3 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; ³To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

1 Corinthians 1:1-3, 24, 26-31 “Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, ²Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their’s and our’s: ³Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.²⁴But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁶For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: ²⁷But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; ²⁸And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: ²⁹That no flesh should glory in his presence. ³⁰But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 1:21 “Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God”

1 John 2:20, 24, 26-27 “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . ²⁶These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. ²⁷But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. ”

Mark 3:13-15 “And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. ¹⁴And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, ¹⁵And to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out devils: ”

John 15:16 “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

Revelation 5:9-10 “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; ¹⁰And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”

1 Peter 2:5, 9 “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. ⁹But 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”

Isaiah 10:27 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

John 14:16-17 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; ¹⁷Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I am leaving you with this AFD FEBRUARY 2013 Edition newsletter for your perusal and as a guide of grace to give you food for thought indicating how the theme of the month will be approach. I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on them in prayers (Acts 20:32).

Christian Men & Their Role In Local Church Matters

Posted by RLIC Admin on November 5, 2010 · Leave a Comment

TOPIC: “Christian Men & Their Role In The Local Church Matters”

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Peter 2:5, 9; Matthew 16:17-19; Ephesians 5:22-33

INTRODUCTION (Preamble): The Christian men have a lot to do and contribute in the affairs of the local church. The local church is an extension of the family. Just as the man play a very major part in the family decision, he also need to know that the kingdom of God is no exceptional. The ideal that men should come to the church and watch the women and children only doing the services hinders the full purpose of God for a local Church. I trust that this study will enhance the effective and effectual working of Men in the body ministries of the local church.

The Church is a local and universal Body of Born Again & Spirit-filled believers (i.e. called out people) located in a place of worship, having a shepherd (an overseer).

DISCUSSION (Study Analysis)

1) The Church Defined:

a) Is a called out people of God. 1Peter 2:5, 9; Colossians 1:13; Ephesians 2:1

b) A local church (A community of believers, irrespective of sex, colour or race) geographically located in a place of worship. Revelation 2:1; 1Thessalonians 1:1; Acts 8:1.

c) The Body of Christ (The universal church). Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22-23

d) A building (A place of worship)

2) Origin of church:

The vision of the church was born by Christ before his death – Matthew 16:18
The Beginning of the New Testament Church – Acts 2:1-3, 41 (Born on the day of Pentecost).

3) Our Conduct towards the Church: Acts 20:17, 28 (17-38)

It is one thing to belong to the Church, it is another thing to remain or abide inside. Hence our conduct makes us a living epistles of God’s WORD.

1 Timothy 3:12-15; Titus 1:5

Take heed to ourselves and to the flocks
Services should be rather render with fear & reverences. Philippians 2:12

4) Who then is man: Proverbs 20:6

Dictionary – An Adult Human Male
Spiritually:

a) The called men, matured folks, grown up in the Lord, not necessary in age (though valuable) but in experience with God.

b) Biblically matured folks with godly experience (i.e. grows up in the Lord)

Note: Differences in classification – A young man, an elderly man, an old Man

5) Men’s Characteristics and Role in the Affairs of the Church:

a) God does call Men not child – Hebrews 5:1, Acts 6:3

b) Men prays – Luke 18:1 – the Church was born by prayers and men ought always to pray and not to faint – Isaiah 40:28-31

c) They are available for the work of God in their local church according to the directives of the leadership – Acts 6:1-7

d) They go for solid food and not milk. Hebrews 5:13-14; Hebrews 6:1

e) They are recipient of God’s spiritual gift and they use this gift as the Spirit will to the glory of God. Acts 19:2, 7, 6; 1 Peter 4:11; 1 Corinthians 12:11; Ephesians 4:11

f) They are to serve as a model in character and in Spirit, in the Church -2 Corinthians 3:2-3

g) They are instrument for effective administration and sponsorship in the Church – Acts 6:1-7

h) Men should be lifters and not breakers to the pastorate and the Church at large – Exodus 17:11-13

i) Men don’t RETIRE but REFIRE. Hebrew 10:35-39; 2 Timothy 2:1-5

6) Non-Essentials/Hindrances against Men’s Role in the Church:

a) Self-egotism – 1 Peter 5:6; James 4:10; Luke. 12:15-21

b) Excuses – Luke 14:16-24

c) Irrelevances – Romans 14:1, James 3:14, 16; Philippians 1:15-18

d) Destruction criticism and sectionalism – 1 Corinthians 12:25

Note: Destructive criticism gives birth to sectionalism – Galatians 3:28-29

e) Division (schism) and offences – 1 Corinthians 12:25

f) Uncontrollable use of tongue – James 3:1.

g) Uncontrollable wrath – James 1:20; Ephesians 4:26.

CONCLUSION: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Cor. 5:17
