Welcome to the month of June 2017: Our Month of Glory

Welcome to the month of June 2017: Our Month of Glory
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 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. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”… Isa.60:1-3; “I have glorified thee on earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” Jn.17:4
I welcome you precious family to the month of June 2017: Our Month of GLORY!!! From our text scriptures above which the Lord gave to me, it is evident that in the midst of the darkness of this world God wants us to sing a new and better song.
Since the beginning of this year of our Rehoboth, we have been seeing the good hand of the Lord upon our lives. We have enjoyed limitless divine protection and favour. The Lord has blessed His Church and given goals and graciously enabled us to accomplish all of them in spite of the outrage of the devil and all of his agents. He has gone ahead to prove His word for the year in our lives by causing us to experience the expansion of his work here in our Badagry Center when he made more room for us this year with His miraculous hand. Time will fail me to list all of His many blessings He has caused our eyes to see and our hands to handle of His goodness in this year of Rehoboth. Now in the midst of the year, He is bringing us into a place where we can celebrate Him further with the first year anniversary of our Badagry Center of Kingdom Joint Heirs Family Churches in spite of the envy and outrages of the wicked against the work. We have the privilege of graduating the third batch of the Bible School students through our Nehemiah project: a wisdom God gave us for raising disciples for him within a reasonable time for this end time harvest.
To the glory of God, through this project, a lot of light has come concerning the hearts of men and the struggles of the gates of hell against any work of God on earth. Above all these, it has also become even more evident that indeed the Lord would build His Church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. We saw the visible hand of God in frustrating all the tokens of liars in this place and making diviners mad for our sake. We have also experienced the ability of the Lord to fulfill His word: “Touch Not my anointed and do my prophets no harm.” Indeed, God has been faithful this first half of the year. He has also caused us to see that He is indeed a prayer answering God. Humorously, our Badagry Center was accused of being responsible for shutting down an occultic institution in a location not far from the Church because of our prayers. When I first heard this, I was amused because I was wondering how long it would take the wicked to realize that the earth is indeed the Lord’s and the fullness thereof!
Today, as we begin another month, we do so rejoicing knowing that God has gone ahead of us to prove His word to us even before declaring it that it shall be our month of Glory. The word “Glory” is from a Hebrew word which carries the meaning of the manifested presence of God. Another translation of the word indicates that Glory refers to all that God is and has. It is what makes God, God and his intention is to let us demonstrate him on earth as we are made in His image and after His likeness.  In the word of God, He is described as dwelling in the light which to which mortal man cannot approach. His glory is said to be brighter than the brightness of the sun in its fullness. His word is from everlasting to everlasting. In his glory, there can be no corruption like; sickness, death, disease, fear, failure and the like. His intention for us now is that we carry His presence in such a way that anyone seeking to know God’s address on earth would immediately recognize it when they find us.
As the world gravitates more and more towards darkness, we are supposed to rejoice because this situation makes the distinction between light and darkness more evident than before. Our glory shall become more obvious to those in darkness and they would therefore be drawn to us to find answers. This would be a glorious opportunity for us to get involved in the adventure of evangelism as never before because God would release more and more of His glory on us and cause it to be visible to all around. As this takes place, God in His faithfulness, would see to it that more people are harvested into His kingdom and the scripture would be fulfilled that the Kingdoms of this world has become the kingdom of our God and His Christ.
To this end, this month, we shall be looking at a theme I title: “POSITIONING FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!” we shall be exploring by the grace of God, what glory means and the different levels of Glory. We all understand for instance; that the moon has no light of its own; it depends on the light of the sun to glow. In the same way, we have no glory of our own. We depend on the glory of God to glow. Just as the positioning of the moon is to the sun, so is ours to God. This month, by the grace of God, we shall be looking at how we can position ourselves in relation to the Lord for the best of us to come forth. It is my heart felt prayer that as this month will be winding up, we would have become so well positioned in relation to God’s purpose and counsel for our lives that the world around us cannot deny that we are the real solution providers.
Someone may be reading this material right now that cannot begin to talk about positioning in relation to the Lord yet because you are not saved. You must first belong to God’s family before you can begin to talk about positioning. If you want to belong, you can start right away by saying the following prayer out loud in faith and you will be born again:
Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
