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 MARCH 2017 in the LORD’S Year 2017. We also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Achievers’ FAITH Digest, the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publications of Year 2017.

As The Third Month of Year 2017 Calendar, it could be considered as our month of TRINITY, wherein trinity speaks of benediction and perfection – which is wholeness, maturity and completeness and invoking divinity or divine power to act. By this I pray that as you incline to hear God’s sayings, wholeness, completeness and maturity, which is as a results of God’s perfection, will be minister to your well being in Jesus precious Name, Amen;  and even as it’s written in the Scriptures: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

This Month theme of the AFD is themed: The month of INCLINE YOUR EARS TO GOD’S SAYINGS! A month of “Inclining Your Ears To The Saying of God As We MARCH Onwards and Upwards In God’s Grace and Speed”.

In a nut shell, the theme could be characterised but not limited into this headings:

**Incline Your Ears To God’s Sayings: And Let The Holy Spirit Speak To You!
When last did you hear God speak by the Holy Spirit to you and how often. I don’t mean speaking through someone else but to you personally as His own sheep in your journey of grace with Him. It’s time to incline your ears to the Holy Spirit SAYINGS! Proverbs 4:18-22.
Let this month be the beginning of the WHEN you begin to hear God by the Holy Spirit speak to you, especially in these days of falsehood: fal…se ministers who are wolves in sheep clothing, who manifest as angels of lights and roars as the lion in their pretence to make good out of you.

“. . . My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one” John 10:1-30.

**Incline Your Ears To God Sayings: Your Path To Achieving In Life Will Be Illuminated & Illuminating!
In this third month of Year2017 – MARCH, you can’t afford to keep struggling in the PATH of LIFE in spite of every effort to keep yourself in the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus as one justified by Christ. For God’s intent is always to give light and illumination to your Path of Life by His Word as you stand in righteousness.
As God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus, there’…s the need to incline to the Sun of righteousness as the Moon to the Sun, so that your Path in Life can shine and glow brighter and brighter until the fullness of God is made manifest in your life and in the works of your hands as the Scriptures enjoins:

“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings” Proverbs 4:20.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” Psalms 119:105.

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“.

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis mine)

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2.

**Incline Your Ears To God’s Sayings: The Sun Of Righteousness Will Beam & Cause You To Glow!
In this third month of trinity – MARCH2017, it’s an opportunity to receive the beam of the true Sun that can cause you to glow in glory. The eclipse Moon has no light if its own; however at its inclination to the eclipse Sun beam, it glows and radiates its awesome and magnificent beauty and glory for all to behold and be illuminated.
Jesus is ascribed in the Scriptures as the Sun of righteousness, which when Apostle Paul has an encounter with Him, he experienced such an awesome visitation that turns His life around for the very good and best in making a difference both in life and in death. At midday of the height of the Sun, He saw the Son of God Christ Jesus, in the Sun that turns his life around forever.
It is in this same scenario the car headlamps are made or designed. The Vehicles headlamps have a silver reflector inbuilt in it. It has no light of its own. But can show forth such brilliant, reflection of beauty and power when the light bulb installed within the unit, is switch on. The various level of lightening controls is as a result of the beam of light rays receive from the light bulb on the reflector to display and disperse.
You also can as Apostle Paul and the headlamps silver reflector radiates and glow in grace and power by Inclining to the Sun of righteousness, our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus.

“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings” Proverbs 4:20.

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2.

“. . . 13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17 delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18 to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me . . .” Acts 26:1-32.

**Incline Your Ears To God’s WORD: You Will Radiate The Light Of God!
In this month MARCH 2017, I wants to challenge you of the need to incline your ears to God’s WORD in every phase of your life; so that the essence of the Word, which is LIGHT, may cause you to be illuminated, enlightened and brightened up in the midst of all forms of darkness.
You can’t afford to remain in darkness continually when there’s an access to the light that will enable you glow in life. It’s wise knowing that the entrance of God’s Word at your inclination will give light to all darkness about you; it will brightens your life and every darkness will be dissipated as the Scriptures do enjoins:

“Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth” Psalms 78:1.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple” Psalms 119:130.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not“ John 1:1-5.

**The Eagle Way: Incline To The WIND – The Holy Spirit!
The Eagle is known for it’s majestic power, strength, beauty and dominion in the sky. Its capable of displaying this majestic glory and wonders of it’s fathered wings on the sky, in that it’s soaring on the power of the WIND. As there’s no flapping by the Eagle as pigeon or turkey, but the mounting up of its wings incline on the wind, strength is preserved to display and sustain it’s glorious, wonders, beauty and might longer and longer in the sky.
In same scenario, when you glide by inclining your marriage, family, relationship, career, business, ministry and more on the power of the WIND, the HOLY SPIRIT, you can then be able to weather every storm, such that the unease becomes ease, the mountain becomes plain, the valley are filled or exalted, the crooked road and rough places becomes straight and smooth respectively.
Give the Holy Spirit the chance to soar you through life again, you will glide in majesty, power and strength as the Eagle – The Eagle Way!

“. . . Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts . . .” Zechariah 4:5-7

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5 and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it . . . 31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint“ Isaiah 40:3-5, 31

“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit” John 3:8  

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” Luke 24:49

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: 19 the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.“ Proverbs 30:18-19.

** Incline Your Ears To The Holy Spirit Sayings: Your Definition Is In It!
Speak LORD – was all that the young Samuel requested of the Lord in 1 Samuel 3:1-21, to make the difference in his life that two books was needed to write the acts or autobiography of it.
The Audio wave, Visual wave, Voice wave, Internet connections and more of the communication media surrounds us all, but only those that tuned in or connect get substance from those media.
In the same scenario, if you don’t incline your hearing ears to let the LORD God speak to you His WORD by the Holy Spirit, you can’t BECOME of Him nor enter your life Fullness no matter how much time you spend in sleeping in the Church.
It’s a high time to make room to hear Him speak to you by MINISTERING to Him personally. This will end the stagnant state of things about you. The Heaven’s will APROVE you beyond men APPLAUD. You will then glow in grace and wholeness until the fullness of your day is come. And God will be ordering your step and path to places of graciousness and gracefulness with speed.
Think!

“18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day . . . 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:18-23.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way” Psalms 37:23.

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.“.

October-RLIC-MainShalom & Kingdom greetings! Welcome to the month OCTOBER 2014 in the precious name of our Lord and Savior-King, Jesus Christ. I pray that His light of grace, peace, love and mercy might be with you; and He might give you the leverage and synergy you need for this month, that is, by bringing all things under your feet and control; and effortlessly and without stress make you be what you are born to be.

I welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this AFD OCTOBER 2014 EDITION, which is Entitled: HIS LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS! “The Path To Lighten Up Ones Dark Place In Life & To live Godly”.

“Then spoke Jesus . . . I am the light . . . he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).

*If life and things has become dark in your walk in Christ, you need to examine your walk or how you’ve being walking in Him. His promise can’t falter, for when you follow him, you will not walk in dark places. I pray that Christ might dwell richly in you, such that, He being the light might outshine all your darkness and dark endeavours; that your path might keep shining and shining until the dawn of your day. (Proverbs 4:18).

*In that darkness destroys vision, steals hope and kills faith in ones life endeavours, I pray that Christ light will shine in and through every dark places that has become mountain, valley, rough and crooked in your life, and you will be enlightened to succeed, excel, win and overcome triumphantly. I pray that the light of the Word might dwell richly in you that all forms of dark places and darkness might not be able to ‘Kata-lambano’, that is to break down or put under, the glorious light of Christ in your life and endeavour. (John 1:1-5).
*I pray that you have a great & awesome month of October with Christ light, to deal with all forms of darkness that confronts you.

The WORD – The Lamp and Light For Our Dark Place! The WORD is both for the immediate and the future:
*The Lamp to illuminate your position, the immediate, the present, your surrounding and more from the pot holes of the dark place and darkness. *The Light to visualize, to vision, to see beyond the present, to see ahead of time, to perceive and more beyond the illumination of the lamp in dispelling every dark place and darkness about your Plans, Purposes and Pursuits.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path . . . The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” (Psalms 119:105, 130).
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7).

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:1-5).

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18).

An assured prophecy being prophesy over one is the one that shines light into your dark place. Otherwise, I fear for you, if you fall for the alternative I don’t know what might become of you at the end of the dawn day.
“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).

Knowing And Feeding On The WORD

Posted by on July 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

TOPIC:  KNOWING & FEEDING ON THE WORD OF GOD

TEXT: I John 5:7, 11; John 1:1-5; 17:3; Psalm 119: 1-22; Deut. 17:14-20; Revelation 5:9-10; 1:5-6; 1Peter 2:5, 9.

INTRODUCTION: The BIBLE, Which is the Word, the Will, the Testimony, the Covenant, The Testament of God, has been describe as the “Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal”.  The Christian life is a race, a journey in which there are difficulties, trials, temptations and dangers on the way.  The psalmist said, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, which walk in the law of the Lord” (Ps. 119:1).  The knowledge of the Word of God helps to keep us from all defilement’s, for it is “the lamp unto our feet and the light unto our path” (Ps. 119:105).  It is a mirror and it is the food that gives energy for the race (1 Pet. 1:23).  Ignorance of the word leads to starvation, to bondage, fear and careless living.  Through the word, we come to know God and obtain our salvation.  It is necessary for our daily living, for through it the quality of our life is improved.

This Word study calls us to know, learn and keep the word of God for our blessings, prosperity and success (Rev. 1:3, Joshua 1:8.) Lets arise in our hearts and graze on this scripture for our now, today and tomorrow.

ASPECTS OF THE WORD: The WORD has three parts to it:

  1. The LOGOS words, which is written word, i.e. the objective will of God – (Matthew. 4:4.)
  2. The RHEMA word, which is the revelation or living word, (i.e. the subjective will of God that creates – Gen. 1:3.) Sometimes called the prophetic or spoken word.  The Spirit Word of God. (John. 6:63)
  3. The INCARNATE Word, which is the word made flesh – JESUS – (John 1:14.)

In this study however, we shall concentrate on the Logos, the written or objective will of God.  However all the three parts are very important in order of operations: LOGOS – RHEMA – INCARNATE WORD.

DISCUSSION (Study Analysis):

A. What says the Scripture about the Word of God:

  1. Food – 1 Pet. 2:2, Deut. 8:3; Ps. 119:103; Jer. 15:16-
  2. Light – Ps. 119.105, 130; Prov. 6:23; Ps. 19:8
  3. Seed for Sowing – Ps. 126:6; Mk. 4:14-20; 2 Cor. 9:10
  4. Purifier – Ps. 119:9; Jn. 15:3; Jn. 17:17; 1Pt. 1:22
  5. It is perfect, convert’s soul, sure, right, rejoicing the heart, pure, enlighten the eyes, sweeter than honey, something to be desired more, it warns us, and great reward lies in keeping it.  It makes the simple hearted wise (Wisdom) – Ps. 19:7-11.
  6. Reveals all errors and cleanses all secret faults –  Ps. 19:12
  7. It is an instructor, reproves, etc – Proverbs 6:23; 2 Timothy 3: 16-17.

CONCLUSION: Many Christians are living a beggarly life today because of their ignorance of the word.  They have failed to go into the scriptures to claim and enrich their life with the blessings of God.  Another great sin committed by believers today is their inability to believe completely the whole counsel of God as it is in the scriptures.  Do not interpret it to suit your selfishness but allow the word of God to speak to you and then only, you will reap God’s blessings in it.  For the Bible is a fortress often attacked but never failing.  Its wisdom is commanding and its logic convincing.  Salvation is its watchword; Eternal life it’s goal; It punctures all pretense. Trust it, love it, obey it and eternal life will be yours.

Food for thought: “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that heareth the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the times is at hand”. –Rev. 1:3 (Jam. 1:22-25, Jos. 1:8, Ps.1:1-3, Deut. 6:4-9; 11:8).

MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 119:11 “Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee”
