AFD JUNE 2017 EDITION
GREETINGS:
Shalom & Kingdom greetings in the precious and awesome name of our gracious, graceful and redeemer King, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. My wife Faith and I would like to welcome you again to the dawn of this New month JUNE 2017 in the LORD’S Year 2017 as He crown your life and year with POSSIBIBLITIES. We also say welcome to the new and existing recipients of the Monthly TEACHING Newsletter publications of the ‘Achievers’ FAITH Digest’ Year 2017.
As the sixth Month of Year 2017 Georgian Calendar, it could be considered as our month of REFLECTION, wherein SIX speaks as the day man was created and the number of days man was discharged to work in a week of seven days. By this knowledge and understanding, I pray that as you incline to read and hear God’s sayings, by reflection and stock taking in order to OCCUPY TILL I COME – Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded, which is Christ Jesus mandate to us ALL; and as a results of God’s first mandate to man in human creation, that the enabling grace of our God will be minister to your well being – spirit, soul and body – wholly, in Jesus precious Name, Amen (1 Thessalonians 5:23/Hebrews 4:12-13); and even as it’s written in the Scriptures of Genesis 1:26-28 – “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth“.
Therefore, in the line with the creation mandate above, and now our REDEEMER Christ mandate, this Month JUNE of the AFD is themed: The month of OCCUPY TILL I COME! A month of “Being Earthy Useful While Heavenly Minded”.
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“.
Do You Wants To OCCUPY TILL I COME as Mandated of Christ Jesus? That Is:
– To Be Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded?
– To Be A More Than Conquerors?
– To Succeed, Triumph, Be Victorious & In Dominion?
– To Thrive & Be Colourful, Instead of Survive or Survival?
– And Much More?
Here Is The Wisdom For Today For The Quest Above!
A Colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, but it’s not a give away, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard and idlers; hence there’s the need to OCCUPY TILL I COME as mandated by Christ Jesus with your God’s given basic RESOURCE – Time, Effort & Finance; that is, if you earnestly wants to endorse your Plans, Purposes & Pursuits meaningfully.
The knowing that ‘You are of God’, “loved of God” makes you steadily and readily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, knowing the greater one lives in you also.
Therefore, it’s imperative to let your Time, Effort & Financial resources count and account for your good. For success is failure turn inside out, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilised one’s given resources: Time, Effort and Finance. This is also means you can become what you want to be if you walk in wisdom with your God given resource in your day to day plans, purposes and pursuits. It is on this platform that one can ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’ meaning being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded as scriptural mandated; and then become A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL wanting to go to heaven so quickly do to life challenges which some like to ascertain for self-pity and escape route, I guess.
I pray you Blessed! Be empowered to succeed, triumph, and be victorious and in dominion as you adhered to Christ Mandate to us – ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’, that is, being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded, awaiting His return. Amen!
In a nut shell, the theme EDITION could be characterised but not limited into this headings:
** You Are Called To ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’ – Earthly Useful & Heavenly Minded! – Not Hurrying For An Escape From RESPONSIBILITY, Due To Trials, Circumstances And Such Likes.
“ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come . . .” Luke 19:13-27.
** You Are Created & Mandated To Be Fruitful, And Multiply, and Replenish the earth, and Subdue it: And Have dominion (Live & Reign In Dominion) – Hence, Don’t Be Mistaken!

Further Scriptural Reading To This Theme:
Luke 19:11-27 “And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me“.
Psalms 24:1 “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein“
Psalms 8:4-8 “what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas“.
Isaiah 45:11-13 “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts“.
Psalms 115:16-18 “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord“.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 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“.

AFD NOVEMBER 2016 EDITION
GREETINGS:
Shalom & 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 Month of standing obstacles in the path of progress: NOVEMBER 2016!
I gracefully and graciously welcome you into this month of expressing grace in overturning setbacks and long standing oppositions and obstacles in ones path of progress in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and I pray that His grace, peace, love and mercy might take hold of you 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!
This NOVEMBER, is the eleventh month of the leap year and is themed as above: OVERCOMING YOUR MOUNTAIN! “Overturning The Obstacles In Your Path Of Progress In Christ Jesus”
Deuteronomy 1:6-8 “The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.”
Zachariah 4:7 “Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.”
Dwell long enough on the mount? Struggling or at standstill in your path of progress? You can by today and through this month overturn THAT mountain to become a plain by speaking forth to it right now as Zerubbabel did authoritatively for the outpouring of God’s favour – GRACE.
No matter the size and location of your mountain, there are surmountable and can be OVERCOME notwithstanding how long it takes. Simply because your victory and triumph is a done deed.
So, step up and set yourself ready to triumph in EVERY PLACE, be it – spiritual, physical (health wise), emotional, financial, marital, material, relationship and or more. THAT mountain can be OVERCOME by the enabling done deed in Christ in you. So activate it to work today and right now, if you must stop complaining, blaming and moaning.
Mountains are standing obstacles in the path of progress. You can notice its obstruction in many human projects of life and embankment. Spiritually they are satanic obstructions to ones joy and happiness in the path of gracefulness and graciousness. However, they can be OVERCOME and OVERTURN no matter how long it has stayed or be staying around, because the blood of Jesus is ever speaking today and even more, as in the Bible days to give you the victory. Just stand firmly by and in the blood of Jesus today with a steady declaration of your Redemption Testimony in Christ, and make THAT mountain a plain as it’s written of in Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”
Have you been standing or at standstill, long enough at THAT mount? and yet desired to make progress by moving forward? I wants to remind you again that God’s intent is to have you on the other side where there’s milk and honey, and away from the obstructing mountain in your path of life. It’s time to take another step to move forward in the face of all opposition, instead of been compliance of the mountain defacto, to keep you in circle and away from the fullness of your wholeness and completeness; and in the path of progress and possessing your possession in Christ Jesus concerning you as it’s written of you in Deuteronomy 1:6-8 – “The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them”
Don’t Give Up: You are of God – There’s a GREATER life within you to move THAT supposedly mountain before you as 1 John 4:4 do declares – “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”.
Health Mountains? Has it being the standing obstacles in the path of your progress? God is your healing and Health! He’s your medicinal God, Jehovah-Rapha: Your healer and health over THAT mountain as written “Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth” Jeremiah 33:6. Receive therefore, your wholeness in God’s healing and health power today, over THAT standing mountainous obstacles, in your path of progress, in Jesus’ name, Amen. (Further Scriptures are – Exodus 15:26; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; Exodus 23:25-26 etc.)
In life there are times of frustrations and the tendency to give up, surrender and be a captive because of the mountainous hurdles and road blocks in your path of progress. You don’t have to give in or give up and succumb to THAT mountain. You may be at the edge of your breakthrough and breaking forth. Your unwavering FAITH is the gracious tool to OVERCOME and OVERTURN that supposedly mountain today.
Therefore, exercise the Faith, which is built-in and built-upon God’s Word and win your intended adventure and pursuit to a place of joy, happiness and blessings even as it’s written – “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
Don’t Loose Heart today – exercise your faith in Christ. Faith Is The Act That Goes Winning & Moving THAT Mountain When All Things Comes To A Halt! Therefore keep on keeping on in exercising your Faith. It’s the mainstream for the just in Christ intending to be ACHIEVERS in God. “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith” Habakkuk 2:4.
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.
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“.
Herein Are Further Scriptural Reading To This Month NOVEMBER Theme:
2 Corinthians 2:14 “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place”.
1 Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”.
1 John 5:3-5 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”
