Welcome to the month of September 2020: Our Month of Prayer

 

He told them a parable to this end that men ought always to pray and not to faint. Luke 18:1. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath He given to the children of men. Ps.115:16

Divine appointment greetings family, with mixed feelings in my heart, I welcome you to the Month of September 2020 our Month of Prayer. The Lord gave me this word for the month since last year. As I began to meditate on it again, He made me understand that this month, He wants us to exercise our authority in the place of prayer more than ever before. He said as much as He has all power and wants to intervene in the affairs of the earth to bring some sanity, He cannot breach His word since He has given authority on earth to men. Thus He is calling us to exercise in our office of the priesthood like never before. [Rev.1:5-6]

While I feel excited at God’s call for us to pray because since He has specifically asked for it, He would enable us to fulfill it and will also answer us speedily. I also feel heavy in my heart knowing that some would be using this opportunity to further the devil’s objective to their detriment.

While we are at this, let me use this opportunity to quickly point out that the call to prayer is only for genuine saints who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb of God - Jesus Christ and are continuing in His word. [Jn.8:31-32] This call is not for the unity Church. The Lord Jesus Christ said He did not come to bring this kind of worldly peace but a sword. The sword that the Lord brought divides between light and darkness; the holy and the profane, righteousness and unrighteousness. He said His peace He leaves with us; not as the world gives. Thus this call for the unity of all religions towards attaining a one world religion is demonic and absolutely unscriptural as it pertains to the saints of God. The true Church of Jesus Christ will not be part of it. Not even the occultic activities of so called men of God in different denominations will make a true disciple of Jesus Christ participate in it.

Therefore this call is to the true body of Christ as opposed to the harlot feigning the body of Christ; to arise in prayer to expose the deception of these last days and free God’s children to become His servants indeed in the place of prayer and the ministry of the word. It is a very sad thing that these days where there is a great need for the truth, there is a famine of the word around the world. Many are speaking from their deceived and depraved state claiming God is speaking to them when God has not spoken. Some have resorted to using magic wands in Church telling people to focus on it instead of the Lord Jesus Christ who died for us. So many people are experiencing depression and heart failure today because the sheep is not being fed the truth. Sadly, in spite of the unscriptural extended days of corporate fasting and prayers many are still in doubts and confusion asking themselves endless questions and are not getting answers. Many children and young persons have now resorted to seeking substitutes of new age religion and the occult and are now in deep sorrow and regret because of the numerous adversities this lifestyle is exerting on them.

However I have good news from God for you. He has called us to learn the art of praying and getting answers from heaven and also practice it.

Some years ago, we were having a discussion at home one day when one of my brothers asked how we can pray and be sure of the answers before we got off our knees. So we looked at the scriptures for answers and we decided to practice it the next day. The Lord was so faithful to His word that we all got speedy answers that day. Since them, I have endeavored to practice this art of praying and it has gotten better for me by the day.

Therefore, this month, we shall be looking at a theme I call: Praying to the only God who truly answers. I am referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We shall by God’s grace, learn what prayer is, why we pray, who we ought to pray to, the different levels of addressing God in prayer; how to pray and get answers from the God who made heaven and earth.  See Jn.8:31-32; Jer.33:3; Lk.18:1-7; Lk.11:1-13 and Mt.6:9-16. Also see the examples of Ana and Simeon who spent years praying for the Messiah to be born. They were rewarded with the answer to their prayer in their life time. 

If you are reading this blog and are not yet saved, please you can start your journey with the Lord today 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.

Welcome to the month of August 2020: Our Month of New Beginning

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2Cor.5:17

Beloved family, I welcome you to this new month which the Lord has graciously called our month of New Beginning. I want to believe that last month being the seventh month showed the completion of a phase in this year because seven is the number of perfection. This new beginning will take us to greater heights in the scheme of God.

While waiting on the Lord last month, He told me that beginning from this month, He wants His Church to begin to rise and shine because He has made us the light of the world. To this end, we should go back to the beginning of our new status as new creations and see to what extent our lives are reflecting His glory and make all necessary adjustment with the help of the Holy Spirit.

The first time we really heard the gospel, we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and got saved with the help of the Holy Spirit. At salvation, as our text scripture reveals, we became new creatures. Old things passed away from our lives and all things became new. The old man which ruled over our old life called the flesh was slain at the cross through baptism into Jesus Christ. A new person was born within us which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. [Eph.4:24]. According to 1John 3:9, this new man cannot sin because the seed of God is in him.  Every time we allow this new man to lead us, we do not sin also but if we fall into the temptation of the flesh which is the old man we do sin but if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. See 1Jn.1:6-9 but the baby must grow up which is why the Lord is calling us at this time to arise from the lifestyle of rising and falling and grow in the grace of God in order to truly partake of divine nature. 2Pet.1:4

The bible says that the heir that remains a child is not better than a slave even though he is beneficiary of divine privileges. See Gal.4:1-7

Thus from this month of new beginnings, we are expected to examine ourselves to ensure we are still in the faith and resolve to put away all forms of carnality and walk in the spirit because if we are in the spirit, the bible tells us to also walk in the spirit. See 2Cor.13:5; Romans 8:9 and Gal.5:25.

This year has caused so many to become redundant in their faith because of the fact that they are used to being supervised to serve the Lord. Their services of God has been nothing more than religious exercises. I believe God wants the best for us. This is why He is calling His body to wake up and live out His life for the world to see, follow our example and glorify Him. God wants us to approach Him individually to receive our marching orders directly from Him.  When we do this, we can start pursuing His purpose for our individual lives. This will result in good works motivated by a genuine desire to please Him through obedience.

God’s desire is that we would live out the culture of His Kingdom here on earth for the world to see and emulate us. We are expected to preach the gospel more by how we live our lives than by what we say.

Through eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, man became a mixture of false light and darkness. If only he had chosen and eaten the tree of life instead, I believe things would have been different. His disobedience brought sin which terminates in death. This explains the multitudes of deaths that the world has recorded recently. Everyone that embraces God’s new beginning and is willing to run the race of this new life till the end would eventually partake of divine nature and escape the corruption that is in the world through lust. [2Pet.1:3-4]

Another good news is that we can through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the flesh. Really, the only solution to the sin crises is to submit the flesh to the Lord for it to be mortified. This is why Apostle Paul in Gal.2:20 declares that he is crucified with Christ but lives yet not him but Christ lives in him and that He lives by the faith of Jesus Christ. This can also become your testimony today if you are willing to give up yourself for Christ to live His life through you. Therefore, this month we shall be learning from Romans 8:13 and other scriptures: How to Mortify the deeds of the body through the Spirit.  For anyone that is yet to be born again, this message would not make meaning to you until you sincerely come to the Cross of Jesus Christ in true repentance. If you are that person and you want to do so, you can start right away by saying the following prayer out loud in faith and you will become born again and enlisted in the Lamb’s book of life:

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.
