“For thou, LORD, wilt
bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a
shield.” Psalm.5:12
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. 2Cor.5:21
Beloved family, I welcome you to this great year 2019
which the Lord has graciously declared to us to be our year of Divine Favour.
As I waited on the Lord for this year, He gave me this word following His
decision to do a new thing in our lives as His people. He said, this is the
beginning of the times that many of His servants the ancient prophets have long
prophesied about even though many of them knew they would not live to see it. Beginning
from this great year, God is going to separate the wheat from the tares as the
time of the earth; as it presently is, will be winding up soon. [See
Mt.13:24-30; 36-43; 25:31-46, Rm.11:25-32]
For His Church, He is bringing the age of the gentiles
to an end and about to fulfill His word through Apostle Paul of manifesting to
the world the One New Man when Jewish and Gentile Believers would come together
as one. At this time, God is calling His Church to make their choice whether
they would go with the Mystery Babylon or Him. [Rev.17:1-18 and Gen.11:1-9]
To help mankind make the right decision, He is going
to be releasing an avalanche of His glory on His elect like never before.
Please understand that the enemy of God will also seek to display his
counterfeit power but the distinction between the two is that with the elect,
you will find the love of God reigning in our midst. Truth is that the love of
God is too real to be faked. All the gifts of the spirits except the word of
wisdom has been and may be faked especially the prophetic and the working of
signs and wonders, but the character of the spirit controlled believer cannot
be faked. Therefore at this time for the true Church of God, walking in love is
not optional; it has never been anyway but now God is calling us to be more
responsible than we have ever been. True believers at this time will walk in
the spirit and bear the fruit of the spirit. See Mt.7:15-17; Jn.15:8 Gal.5:16
and Gal.5:22-23, 25.
Beginning from the first month of this year, God is
going to be fulfilling His word in Joel 2:23 to us like never before. He will
cause to be released on His body the rain, the former rain and the latter rain
from the beginning. Therefore this calls for rejoicing from the true Church of
God. I look forward to this year with great excitement because of what God is
already doing.
To enable us participate in it, He has sent us this
word of Divine Favour. Favour is to be given preference. When God was to use
Mary to bring forth the Messiah, He first sent her a word of favour. When the
angel Gabriel met her, he said to her: Hail thou that art highly favored; the
Lord is with thee. From here we would
see immediately that the favour of the Lord is preceded by His presence which
is demonstrated in His word being with you. See Luke 1:26-38. First Mary
received the angelic messenger in faith when she said unto him after he had
explained his mission to her that it should be unto her according to his word. Then
the word became flesh in her. See Jn.1:14
For us, since last year, the Lord caused us to embark
on a spiritual enlargement exercise which he also enabled us to do faithfully
the best we could and now, he has sought to reward us like He promised to do
last year when He said He would visit us. We were not only blessed with a lot
of His visitations, both to correct us and to bless us with His presence and
voice, he has caused us to meet His condition for His favour on people who are
already His. We find this condition in Psa.102:13-22. When you favour the cause
of God, He would also favour you. He has helped us to do just that this preceding
year and is therefore set to favour us.
So this year is the year you have long waited for. God
has taken care of long standing issues in our lives last year and this year,
each of us shall begin to fulfill our divine destiny in a huge way. We are being
favored by the Lord because no matter how skillful you are, it takes the favour
of God to make that skill produce for you. God has chosen to use us to
demonstrate His glory irrespective of all the oppositions to His move and the
enemy cannot stop us because of Revelation 12:11-12.
Please also understand that the favour of God is the
magnet that draws His blessing to us. In Egypt, just before He took the
children of Israel out of captivity, He promised to favour them and when the
time came He did. The result is that after four hundred years of slavery,
Israel did not leave Egypt empty handed. See Exod.3:21-22 and 12:36.
To this end, this year, we shall by the grace of God
be paying more attention to discipleship as never before; which is one of our
ministry pillars. I believe that as we do so, more and more people will come to
know the Lord personally for themselves which is the reason why He came in the
first place. See John 15:1-5 and 17:1-3.
This year, it is the cry of my heart that more and
more people especially children and young persons will come to know the Lord as
never before and enlist as labourers in this end time global harvest as God is
about to close the age of the gentiles. Rm.11:25-26.
As I draw the curtain here, I want to use this opportunity
to invite anyone who feels the need of taking advantage of the work of the Lord
Jesus Christ to become all that God wants them to become to do so right away by
saying the following prayer in faith if you have never been born again or a
backslidden believer and the Holy Spirit will take you up from there:
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.
