Posted by on May 1, 2021 · Leave a Comment 

GREETINGS: Shalom & Kingdom greetings! I gracefully welcome you into this month of MAY 2021 in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour King, Jesus Christ. Amen. I pray that His 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, to bring all things under your feet and control with the effortless and stress free graciousness and gracefulness of our God. Also, that you might lay hold to your redemptive rights, privileges and position in Christ Jesus that enables you to accomplish your divine given plans, purposes, and pursuits in His BLESSEDNESS. I dully and fully welcome all visitors and existing browsers into this AFD MAY 2021 EDITION, which is Entitled: FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT! A month of “Harnessing The CHARISMA and CHARACTER Of The Holy Spirit For Your PERFECTION – Wholeness, Completeness, Maturity and Fulness In Christ Jesus Stead”

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY – MONTH OF “FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT”!

Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the THIRD of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month May is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH month speaks of PERFECTION, just as the number 3, 7 and 9 has significance Scripturally and being of the number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity to stir up, harness and actualise in FULNESS, our REDEMPTION by the Holy Spirit is given to us in this essence. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:9-17.

The term PERFECTION – which in essence speaks of WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS – is of God. Actually, it is of the REALM OF REVELATION of the Spirit, which the writer of Hebrews Scripture exhorts and admonished every Believers in Christ Jesus to endeavour to enter into such realm, in order to manifest, operate and actualise God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION. It is a REALM which in essence, will bring us to the place wherein we can be able to escape religious and traditional dogmas, man-made belief, doctrinal creeds and by-laws that are of bondages and such like – Matthew 5:43-48; Hebrews 6:1-9; 2 Corinthians 7:1. etc.

For when Jesus DESCENDED and ASCENDED up on high afterwards, He led captivity captive and RECEIVED gifts – (spiritual endowment) and GAVE these gifts to men; this is for their enablement to be His ambassador and representative on His behalf, for their self-esteem and self-worth, for God’s Kingdom causes and for the good of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

These spiritual ENDOWMENTS and ENABLEMENT are summed up as CHARISMA and CHARACTER to fulfil PURPOSE meaningfully. Their essence is to harness the Believer’s by the Holy Spirit toward PERFECTION – meaning WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS, in Christ Jesus Stead.

It must be noted that a mere spiritual CHARISMA without corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride, rudeness and possibly false success in disguise; and a mere spiritual CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic, traditionalistic, static – (no creative, innovative, initiative and exploring) and without inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead.

And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of FRUITFULNESS and MATURITY in Christ Jesus stead, as RECEIVED and GIVEN to us, when He ascended up on high to ENSURE and ASSURE our access to the blessed REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Him. And FRUITFULNESS as a result of spiritual FRUIT and spiritual GIFTS are of the Holy Spirit; and MATURITY as a consequence of the ministerial GIFTS of the Holy Spirit, is in essence for our PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS) as God’s people in His BLESSEDNESS.

I therefore pray today for your onward, upward and forward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; I pray also that by these endowment and enabling of God, which is of the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated by any reason; but rather, that these enabling endowment that Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE us, in order to be FRUITFUL in CHARACTER and MATURED in CHARISMA, will abound more and more in His grace and stead. Romans 5:1-2; Galatians 2:20-21.

I therefore WELCOME you on God’s behalf, to MONTH MAY 2021 – Month of FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT – to harness your well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING unto PERFECTION – WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS.

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”

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO on unto PERFECTION; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8 but that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak“ Hebrews 6:1-9.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” PSALMS 68:18.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN grace according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, AND GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” EPHESIANS 4:7-16.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” REVELATION 5:9-12.

“But the Fruit Of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” GALATIANS 5:22-25.

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” JEREMIAH 3:15.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he PURGETH it, that it may bring forth MORE FRUIT. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 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” JOHN 15:1-16.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING holiness in the fear of God” 2 CORINTHIANS 7:1.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not FRUSTRATE THE GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in VAIN” GALATIANS 2:20-21. 

“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:  11 but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way“ 1 CORINTHIANS 12:12-31.

“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. 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness“ ROMANS12:3-8.

However, this MAY 2021 and Year 2021 THEME EDITION 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”.

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

I pray the Lord crown this Month MAY 2021 for you with His goodness and abundance, and reward your LABOUR of LOVE, PATIENCE of HOPE and WORK of FAITH as you continue in the YEAR2021 of POSSIBILITIES. Have a BLESSED and GRACIOUS Month MAY 2021 as you enact and authenticate the “FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT! A month of “Harnessing The CHARISMA and CHARACTER Of The Holy Spirit For Your PERFECTION – Wholeness, Completeness, Maturity and Fulness – In Christ Jesus Stead” Amen.

Until then, have a crown YEAR 2021 – YEAR OFPOSSIBILITIES “A YEAR To Thrive And Live With Purpose And Fulfilment In God’s Righteousness in Christ Jesus”.

AFD JULY 2017 THEME

Posted by on July 1, 2017 · Leave a Comment 

GREETINGS:

Shalom  & Kingdom Greetings! My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of this Month JULY in the LORD’S year 2017 as He crown your life with the year themed – POSSIBIBLITIES. This we’ve set to earnestly pray on your behalf through the year, in the precious, awesome and covenant name of our gracious, graceful and redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. We also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2017.

As Month July is  the seventh Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it’s considered as our month of ensuring the FULNESS, PERFECTION and COMPLETENESS of our covenant keeping God for our well being. The number SEVEN speaks as the day God rested after the last creation – man – was created amidst other creations. Therefore, in the line with the creator rest mandate above and in our REDEEMER, Saviour and Lord  Christ mandate for our REDEMPTION, this Month JULY 2017 EDITION of the AFD is themed: COMPLETE IN CHRIST! A month of “Experiencing The Fulness, Completeness & Wholeness – spirit, soul and body – In Christ”.

By this knowledge and understanding, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings, that the enabling grace of our God will be made available unto you and minister to your well being – spirit, soul and body – wholly, in Jesus precious Name, Amen as it’s written in – 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13 and Colossians 2:9-10. 

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“.

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:

Colossians 2:1-23 “For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh” Colossians 2:1-23.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do“ Hebrews 4:13-14

“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 4-6

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

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him” Ephesians 1:7-10.

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

“You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. . . But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” 1 Peter 2:5, 9.

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . .For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

However, this Month JULY 2017 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

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

Until then, have a crown year 2017 of POSSIBILITIES “A year to “Thrive & Live With Purpose & Fulfilment”.

“For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words . . . And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:1-4, 10.

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:

Colossians 2:1-23 “For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh” Colossians 2:1-23.

Malachi 4: 2 . . . But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.

The LORD will give grace and glory;

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-

  1. As a command – 2Timothy. 2:15; Deuteronomy 17:19; Joshua. 1:8; Isaiah 34:16; John 5:39; Acts 17:11; Romans 15:4)
  2. With great reverence – (Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32; Proverbs 30:6, Revelation 22:19; 2Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter. 1:21)
  3. In love and not fear or grieve or sorrow – (1John 5:3; Psalm 119:47, 82, 97, 140, 163, Job 23:12)

  1. Doctrinal or topical study
  2. Book by Book or chapter by chapter
  3. Character study
  4. The use of study aids etc.

G. Study aids (Material to study the Word)

  3. Concordance, Dictionary, Commentary.
  4. Biro, highlighter etc.
  5. Internet Access – WORD search; E-sword; Bible gateway etc.

H. What encouragement do we get in studying the word of God:

  1. Nobleness – John 5:39; Act 17:10, 11; 2 Timothy. 2:15.
  2. Success and Blessing – Joshua 1:8; Revelation 1:3 Luke. 11:28.
  3. Freedom and deliverance – John 8:31 – 32; 15:7; Matthew 7:24.

I. Consequences of failure to read and know the word of God

  1. Be in darkness, searching for the living among the dead – John 20:9; Proverbs 21:16.
  2. Destruction, despised and rejected by God – Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15; 2 Chronicles 36:16; Isaiah 30:9; Jeremiah 6:19; 9:13.
  3. Hindrance to your prayer – 1 John 3:22.
  4. A victim due to erring on the scriptures – Matt. 22:29; Matt. 12:3, 19:4.
  5. Makes one walk in Ignorance – Jn. 20:9; Acts 13:27; 2Cor. 3:15.

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”
