GOD IS FAITHFUL – There’s the need as His children to reciprocate His nature in us as endorsed in 2 Peter 1:1-4, in being the object of His Faithfulness as we are of His Love as it’s written “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”

AFD November 2020 Theme – GOD IS FAITHFUL! – and it is about – “Thriving And Achieving Life Plan, Purpose And pursuit meaningfully and in fulfilment, through Faithfulness (being faithful) as God Is, In Christ Jesus Stead”. Amen.

1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord”

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised”

Luke 18:1-8 “. . . And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith (Greek “pistis” – means faithfulness) on the earth?” (Emphasis Mine)

Luke 16:1-13 “. . .He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon”.

Today we live in an age where faithfulness to ourselves and to others is in great demand for creating an atmosphere that we can enjoy. Unfortunately we are so eager to demand faithfulness from others while we may not be faithful ourselves even in the least of things.

Hence I am grateful to the Holy Spirit that this month He has constrained me to challenge us on the need of achieving life goals through faithfulness. Hence the reason to set tasks and targets for oneself in making it be.

We need to know that our God is a faithful God. This is just one basic nature of God – FAITHFULNESS. We being His children cannot afford to live in any other way and expect to achieve greatness in life.

The Results of Being Faithful

Great admirable marriages, homes & businesses are not achieved merely from structural design but from faithful human hearts. The results of being faithful are the prosperity and good success that we all desire. When we make faithfulness an avenue of achieving life’s goals, we promote honesty, decency and healthy lifestyles.

In the scripture quoted at the beginning, Luke 18:7-8, Jesus asked a question about faithfulness. The word FAITH is translated ‘pistis’ in Greek, which denotes faithfulness in English. Jesus wondered how many would be faithful – to trust God and wait upon His Word – without seeking alternative solutions to life’s challenges; more so, to await faithfully until He returns in the midst of good and challenging times. The 2nd main text, Luke 16:1-13, shows the reason that many of us cannot achieve our goals. It is because we are not faithful in matters entrusted into our hands by others.

God’s Faithful Nature

In achieving life’s goals, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding faithfulness as could be found of Him in the following scriptural terms:.

  1. God is faithful to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13
  2. God is faithful to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23
  3. God is faithful to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9
  4. God is faithful to forgive. 1 John 1:9
  5. God is faithful in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9
  6. God is faithful to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3
  7. God is faithful to accomplish His part in the assignment that he gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24
  8. God is a faithful creator. 1 Peter 4:19 . . . and many more of our God.

Know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture. Acts 17:24-29, Psalms 100:3. It then means that we can live a faithful life and achieve good successes. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was faithful and prospered. The same grace is available to us today in spite of our challenges to be faithful and to prosper. Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)

Faithfulness Applied

  1. A faithful employee – Whatever position you hold, God requires you to be faithful. Matthew 24:45-51; Ephesians 6:5-8; 1 Peter 2:18-20; Colossians 3:22-25.
  2. A faithful employer – look after your staff well whatever the business. Ephesians 6:6-9; Colossians 4:1; Proverbs 11:24-26; Deuteronomy 10:17-18; Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11.
  3. Faithful in your relationships. This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society.
  • Faithfulness in the kingdom business. As a minister, pastor, ministry worker etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s Word and commands is a prerequisite to achieving desired goals. 1 Corinthians 4:2; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; Proverbs 27:23; John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7; Hebrews 3:2, 5).
  • In marriage one cannot afford to be unfaithful and achieve with God. 1 Timothy 3:11; Proverbs 31:10; Proverbs 20:6; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12.
  • Faithfulness is also vital in a parent – child relationship. Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21; Proverbs 22:6
  • Faithfulness in friendships. Proverbs 27:6, 10; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24.

Faithfulness Rewards:

  1. Abound with blessings. Proverbs 28:20
  2. Abound with health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20
  3. A refresher for others. Proverbs 25:13
  4. There will be increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21,23
  5. There will be eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b

Finally, as one with an achievers’ mandate, I beckon on you to set task and target this month on how to walk in faithfulness if you want to partner with God. I pray you be found faithful in every area of your life through this month and thereafter.

May you Be FAITHFULLY PROSPERED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead. Amen!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON THINK-TANK:

“Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again . . .20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” And His disciples heard it” Mark 11:12-14, 20-26 NKJV

“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified” Romans 8:28-30. NKJV

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised . . . 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

However, this NOVEMBER 2020 theme will be expanded in course of the SERVICES & TIMES in all meetings through the year and Month in “Scripture Pasture” Study and “Pastoral Messages & Ministrations”.

I gladly welcome you, your friends and family to be with us in Fellowship and Worship. I promise you that you can never be the same again as you ponder over the truth of these unadulterated, inspiring, revealing and empowering living word of God. I pray that God revitalize and rejuvenates you and all that is about you, so that you may become the very best of which God has created you to be in your daily journey of Destiny Molding, Life Transformation, Dignity Restoration and Kingdom Faith Establishment, Community Social Cohesion and Enrichment and Development, Success Empowerment & Fulfillment, Grace Impartation and more, while awaiting the Lord’s Return.

Until then, have a crown DECADE2020 – THE DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE “The Decade Of Being Significant By The Living WORD”; and YEAR 2020 YEAR OF EXALTATION: LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE “The Year Of Thriving In The Consciousness of God’s Righteousness In Christ Jesus For The Greater, Colourful, Purposeful, Meaningful and Fulfilling Life”; and Month NOVEMBER 2020 – GOD IS FAITHFUL! “Thriving And Achieving Life Plan, Purpose And pursuit meaningfully and in fulfilment, through Faithfulness (being faithful) as God Is, In Christ Jesus Stead”

In His Kingdom Business For His Glory,

Here Is The Wisdom For Today To Profile Month OCTOBER 2020 Theme:

BEAUTIFY & COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH!
“Beautifying And Colouring Your New Creation Worlds In Faith, In God’s Blessedness In Christ Jesus Stead– By Creating, Innovating and exploring In The Cause Of Doing Life And Living Godly”

“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things” Romans 10:15.

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“. . . 14 I will praise thee; for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE: MARVELOUS are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well . . .” Psalms 139:1-18.

“For I say, through the grace GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

MONTH TO – BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH!

It’s our Time and Month to use our PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR THE WORLD’S we EARNESTLY desired and wants to see daily in LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:1-4. It’s your creative, innovative and exploring timeline and timeless opportunity to ensure that your well-being is an OUTCOME of your PRECIOUS FAITH in God by Christ Jesus stead and not an OUTCOME outside the TENET of your PRECIOUS FAITH – otherwise it will be religion, dogmas and further bondages – Galatians 5:1, 13; Galatians 3:1-14.

The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION, is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which gives us rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. Not only are we REDEEMED from these effects, we were and are ushered access to RECEIVE of God in Christ Jesus stead: POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, and BLESSING (Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-8).

The REDEMPTION ACCESS of God for us in Christ Jesus stead (Romans 5:1-2), TRANSFORMED (TRANSLATED, TRANSFIGURED) and POSITIONED us in His enabling grace from a SINNER to a SAINT; and therein we can now OFFER unto God a gracious and graceful WORSHIP WORTHILY and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in the FELLOWSHIP of His CHURCH. This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us firstly His in this Scriptural terms:

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an Holy nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, BUT ARE NOW THE PEOPLE OF GOD: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy”1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

Jesus in humanity INCREASE in His worlds sphere in – Wisdom, Physique, Favour With God and Favour With Men (Luke 2:52). He made known that He was/is in a beautiful and colour relationship that is unique with Father God of which we also have access to same Father God in creation and in Him today (John 10:30-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 1:26-27; Ephesians 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30).

God has given us BEAUTY for ASHES, OIL OF JOY for MOURNING and GARMENT OF PRAISE for THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS. He has also MADE us TRESS of RIGHTEOUSNESS – a planting of His own making, that He might be GLORIFIED (Isaiah 61:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 10:15).

Why LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ: God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21).

With REPENTANCE towards God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, you have access to all that’s good, beautiful and colourful in God (Acts 20:21; Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:22).

God has bestowed in you THE MEASURE of FAITH not A MEASURE of FAITH to enable you have your worlds (health, relationship, family, finance, career, business and such likes) beautify and coloured. This FAITH enables you to OVERCOME all the forces that are in and of the world been orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3; Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:3-5).

Therefore, make month OCTOBER to be your New Dawn to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR your WORLDS – and to make all things for good happen for now in LIFE and GODLINESS.THE CHOICE IS YOURS. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“The mighty God, even the Lord, hath SPOKEN, and CALLED the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of ZION, the PERFECTION of BEAUTY, God hath SHINED” Psalms 50:1-2.

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24.

“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things” Romans 10:15.

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

Month To “BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH” In Christ Jesus Stead: Do your Life A Favour By Beautifying And Colouring Your ‘WORLDS’ Through ACKNOWLEDGED FAITH!

It’s a high priced time to decorate, colour and beautify your your worlds (family, career/skills, relationship to God/mankind, leadership, finance, ministry and such like) in the FAITH you stand in Christ Jesus stead.

You are the custodian of your happiness, joy, peace, dignity, honour and more. Stop looking for or pursuing your destiny as you may have being told. You destiny is embedded and endowed in you in Christ as a default when you were saved called, justified and glorified in fellowship in God in Christ Jesus – (1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30). You don’t have to run after anybody to get it or pursue after it as in the Old Testament reliance on others to reach out to God for your enabling. YOU ARE YOUR DESTINY – it’s a default in you in Christ Jesus stead if you are born of God (John 3:3, 5, 16; 1 Peter 1:22-24 ).


The scriptures declares you’ve been predestined of God in Christ to succeed, thrive and be happy – (Ephesians 1:3-11). Meaning you’ve been PREDESTINED to succeed and achieve that excellence, success and goodness that you so madly and crazily desired to have and become in Christ Jesus (John 1:12). Your destiny is the you in you in Christ. Beautify and Colour it in Christ in FAITH.

I don’t know what your ‘worlds’ seems to be at this very moment. But one thing I do know is that you can create the atmosphere of the gracious ‘worlds’ you will love to live on daily. Your FAITH in God through His WORD and by the working power of the blessed Holy Spirit can make all the difference (Hebrews 11:1-3).

Your intended worlds of excitement and rejuvenation, in respect to joy, peace, love, relationship, marriage, family, finance, career, ministry and more, are embedded and imbedded on and in your FAITH in Christ (Romans 1:16-17; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11).

For God makes all things beautiful in His time. You are a part of that beauty. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image and likeness as the scriptures do record about you and all. You can DECORATE, FRAME, COLOUR and BEAUTIFY your worlds today with the atmosphere you will really love to do life with. I pray you God’s grace and blessings as you remain steadfast in Faith to colour your worlds in Christ. For it’s your time to manifest the fragrance and aroma of grace through the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing DONE in you, DONE FOR you and being DONE THROUGH you in Christ – Philemon 1:6; 2 Corinthians 2:14). You are the reason why the earth was made and created – it’s now time for you to LIVE STRONG and LIVE REJUVENATING.

God SHINES throw His Church – The PERFECTION of His Beauty. You are God’s Church – that He’s building. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON THINK-TANK:

“The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of ZION, the PERFECTION of BEAUTY, God hath SHINED” Psalms 50:1-2 (Hebrews 12:22-24; Obadiah 1:17).

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL (Colourful) and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL (Colourful) are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN CHRIST JESUS” Philemon 1:6.

“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 5:4-5.

“Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:3.

“Let us hold fast the profession (confession) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)” Hebrews 10:23.

Further Scriptural Meditation: (Romans 14:23; 2 Corinthians 5:7; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Psalms 139:12-18; Psalms 144:12-15; Philippians 1:6; 1 Corinthians 15:58; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8).

PRECIOUS STONES – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE: YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH WITH PRECIOUS PROMISES ARE FOR YOUR BEAUTY AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

As PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike are for Value, Beauty and Grace, in same like is our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES, to Decorate and Beautify and Colour and Add Value to our Worlds, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

To be PRECIOUS is to be upheld in high esteem. It thus mean to be loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like.

PRECIOUS STONES is a name that is usually used in reference to four types of GEMS: Amongst DIFFERENT GEMS, there are only four PRECIOUS STONES – RUBY, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD and DIAMOND. And these PRECIOUS GEMSTONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds, are highly valued for their IMMENSE RARITY and HIGH-END BEAUTY, hence are known as PRECIOUS STONES. And with all the devaluation and falls in economic downturn and meltdown of most goods and services, the WORTH and PRICE tagged of PRECIOUS STONES have remained steadily steady and at high-end in many respects. Simply for the RARITY, BEAUTY, ADDED COLOUR and TAGGED VALUE that are attached on it. Yet they are perishable in Scriptural terms and Truth. None of any in WORTH possession can REDEEM a soul or gives LIFE and GODLY LIVING to anyone apart from the wealth value attached – (Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 1 Kings 10; 1 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 9; 2 Timothy 2:20; 1 Corinthians 3:12).

Unlike the earthly PRECIOUS STONES that are perishable in Scriptural terms, we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only have we obtained PRECIOUS FAITH, we have also been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in His BLESSEDNESS for us in Christ Jesus stead. What an awesome people we are to go therefore and decorate, colour and beautify our worlds of doing life and living godly with God’s graciousness and gracefulness of a PRECIOUS FAITH based and endowed on a PRECIOUS PROMISES. All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH in terms of been – eternal, priceless, rare, loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such likes.

Also, our Christ Jesus is described as being our imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE; and by Him we’ve been MADE a LIVELY STONES in GRACE, wherein we are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. And by our PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE Jesus Christ, we also have become a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that are designated to shew forth the praises of him who had called us out of the darkness of this world into his marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR.

Therefore, as PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike, are for beauty, wealth and grace; much more our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES are to Decorate, Beautify And Colour our Worlds in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.I pray you BECOME what God’s WORD says you are, and thereby ‘Decorate, Beautify and Colour Your Worlds In FAITH’, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of GOLD AND OF SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and PRECIOUS, 5 ye also, as LIVELY STONES, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is PRECIOUS: but unto them which be disobedient, THE STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and A STONE of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.#

THINK TANK – MONTH OCTOBER – The Number 10: What’s Special About The Number Ten (10) – The Tenth Month OCTOBER!

Month OCTOBER is the Ten number Month of the Georgian Calendar Months. What then is so special about the Month that may WORTH pondering and considering into life matters. I say this because I have seen posts and statements of some indicating DOOM and GLOOM upon the month OCTOBER and some are even to the year; I sense all these are probably because of the event that has happened to them personally or the general feeling of the pandemic at the moment. However, herein are some few thoughts ( not mine) that I want you to look into and make a meaningful note for yourself:

1. What is the significance of the number 10 in the metric system?
In the metric system of measurement, designations of multiples and subdivision of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth . . .

2. What is special about the number 10:
“10 (ten) is an even natural number following 9 and preceding 11. Ten is the base of the decimal numeral system, by far the most common system of denoting numbers in both spoken and written language. The reason for the choice of ten is assumed to be that humans have ten fingers (digits).

3. What is special about the number 10?
Number 10 is known as a symbol of the authority of God and his government on the Earth. This number can also symbolise responsibility, law and completeness. Actually, number 10 is considered to be the symbol of obedience and responsibility of people towards the God’s law.

4. What does the number 10 mean in biblical numerology?
Number 10 in Bible is a symbol of perfection, harmony and creation. This number is one of the most powerful and most widely spread, as well as 3, 7 and 12. … It is also a number of integration, discipline, laws and wholeness. The phrase “God said” is repeated 10 times through Genesis.

5. Does the Bible say give 10 of your income?
A tithe is 10% of your income given specifically to your local church. (Fun fact: The word tithe literally means tenth in Hebrew.) . . . So, Scripture explains that 1) tithing is an important part of faith for those who follow God and 2) your tithe should be money you set aside first.

6. What does number 10 mean in Hebrew?
10. The gematria of the Hebrew letter י Yodh, or in Jiddisj: ‘Jud’ stands for ‘Jew (word)’ – it’s (therefore) linked to the tetragrammaton. The Ten Commandments (עשרה דיבריא, aseret ha-dibrot, literally “Ten Utterances”) The ten Plagues of Egypt.

These and such like not mentioned thus indicates that the number 10 and tenth Month October, means your DAYS, MONTHS and YEARS are crown of God for your GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s no room for you to regret at all in any of the Days and or Months and or Years, no matter the event or circumstances that befallen or before you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. The DAYS, MONTHS and YEARS are God MADE. Psalms 65:11-13; Psalms 118:24; Ecclesiastes 3:11. You should arise in your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and lovely COLOUR your WORLDS (person, family, finance, career, relationship and such like) in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s how you BECOME not only THE DIFFERENCE but MAKES THE DIFFERENCE as the NEW CREATION AMBASSADOR of Christ Jesus – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-15.There are TWELVE months in a year, and God have not only crown the months, but have made each MONTH to be FRUITFUL, that is, to THRIVE and be PRODUCTIVE after it’s kind for the good of the nations – you and your family. Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:1-2.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON THINK-TANK:

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR WITH THY GOODNESS; AND THY PATHS DROP FATNESS (ABUNDANCE). 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:12-13 (Emphasis Mine).

“This is THE DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will rejoice and be glad in it” Psalms 118:24.

“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: IT SHALL BRING FORTH NEW FRUIT ACCORDING TO HIS MONTHS, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, AND THE LEAF THEREOF FOR MEDICINE” Ezekiel 47:12.

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare TWELVE manner of fruits, and YIELDED her fruit EVERY MONTH: and the LEAVES OF THE TREE were for the HEALING OF THE NATIONS” Revelation 22:1-2.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE IN ITS TIME. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

HOLDING FORTH THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH – TO BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR: IN PURE CONSCIENCE TOWARD GOD & TOWARD MEN!

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
