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.
