(Acts.1:1-3, 15-26)
UNSELECTED BY MAN BUT ELECTED BY GOD ONTO EARTHLY RECOGNITION AND ETERNAL RECKON

Have you ever been in a situation in which you were fit for the job or a given position and you were unelected or not selected by man? What was your immediate or eventual reaction or response? Did you react badly? If your reaction was emotional and ruthless, then your focus perhaps in life generally has been a focus on man, not on God. Did you try to find out whether your nonselection was a function of a spiritual battle you need to pray about? Understand that an uncareful church is constantly under spiritual manipulation. So the church may have been manipulated against you.
Consider the story below. It was Fathers’ day celebration in 2009. Something strange happened in church that Sunday. The Pastor of the church, a fine reverend gentle man decided to honour all the fathers and potential fathers in church that day with a gift of one Mass-Bar Chocolate to everyone. The sharing went smoothly. That was no strange thing. But I was left out of the gift. That was certainly strange to me because although I was not yet married, I was already about 35 years of age. I tried to indicate that I hadn’t got a piece of chocolate yet, but the Lord restrained me.

Note that each time the Lord restrains man from that which is good to man, it is because the Lord has something much better or the best. No matter how painful the restraint may come, be informed that the end of the matter is what matters most; and with God, the end is always extremely so sweet.
As the Sunday service wore on, the Pastor began to minister in his usual wonderful fashion. Then the Pastor raised a question: “what is the longest name in the Bible”, The Pastor asked. To this question, there was no answer from any member of the church except me.
As soon as I gave the answer as: Maher-Shalal-hash-baz, the entire church erupted with great laughter; the Pastor ran over to my seat with great ecstasy, and gave me two Mass-Bar Chocolates. Hmmm! Two Mass-Bar Chocolates as against one which every other father and potential father got.
What if (as a blind person) I had reacted, claiming discrimination? What if I had been emotional over nothing being in a white dominated church? The patient one will always get to know the reason behind everything and even obtain the best in the very end. For if only the human eyes can be patiently careful, they will behold the human nose with ease.

Our first text in this edition reads:
‘1The former treatise have I made O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandment unto the Apostles whom He had chosen.
3 To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

Wow! Our brother, Doctor Luke, knew about the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ right from the very start! Hmmm! Let us consider our brother, Doctor Luke in today’s first and second Scriptures more deeply.
The evidence of the first Scripture in Acts.1:1-3 is that Doctor Luke had been with the Lord Jesus from the very start of His earthly ministry. But when one Apostle was needed to be chosen in order to replace Judas Iscariot. The man, Doctor Luke was not even considered. Rather, manly intellect through the instrumentality of “casting lot” selected Mathias. But by divine election, Doctor Luke was approved by God.
With due respect and honour to Apostle Mathias, the question just cannot be ignored; was any thing of note ever heard about Apostle Mathias? But the one who was divinely elected remained remarkable on earth through out his time on earth and until today and after now. Again, divine election put him in eternal reckon.
Doctor Luke by the Spirit of God gave us one of the four gospels and the book of Acts. He was not an Apostle, and probably did not have the auratory and charisma possessed by Apostle Mathias. So, we can say that before man, Doctor Luke had no voice. But understand the spiritual difference. Apostle Mathias had voice before men but no volume for his voice before God. Conversely, Doctor Luke had no voice of recognition before men. But before the Godhead, his silent works had voice and volume.
Dear brother, dear sister, what are you doing for God for which the church, people and the world don’t offer you any respect, appreciation or recognition? Never look back or get weighed down by discouragement. Why? There is One waiting to reward you in the immediate and in the hereafter.
Dear brother, dear sister, look only in the direction of God’s approval and reward, not man’s applause and commendation. Many are called by men and satan. But very few are sent on divine assignment by God, and those He has called, He will justify, and in the end, glorify.

Therefore, I counsel O man, concentrate on God. Avoid what you see which berates you and irritate your God-given spirit man. Avoid the commendations of men and shun church gossip and partisanship in the House of God. Make Christ your daily mirror before whom you constantly stand to beam out the beauty or blurriness of your spiritual face with further instructions to be better and be like Him.
IN THE END, YOU WILL END UP BELOW DIVINE STANDARD IF YOU CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON MAN AND THE DEEDS OF MAN.

Vol. 6, No. 4 – Sunday, 21st March, 2021
(Psalms 24:1, 50:10, 82:6)
MY FATHER IS RICH IN ALL THINGS AND I AM HIS HEIR

The eternal Scripture in Psalm 24:1 informs us that ‘the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof’.
I must be correct to say that for as many who believe in God, the Biblical statement that ‘the earth is the Lord’s’ is a restatement of the obvious. Who else can dare own this planet other than the Most Supreme One? I contend that what is rather novel about verse 1 of Psalm 24 is the added phrase, ‘and the fullness thereof’.
The novelty of the word ‘fullness’ is our foremost interest in this phrase. The question is what fullness imply or mean in this context? Fullness as used in Psalm 24:1 means to continue to increase.

The eternal Scripture informs us in Genesis chapter 1:28 that ‘and replenish the earth’. Semantically speaking, the word ‘replenish’ imports the same meaning as the word ‘fullness’.
The Almighty created the earth with a mandate for the earth to continue to expand. Why? Because more than what was created in six days at the start of creation, further creation and recreative increases would continue. This means in many senses that everything that has been created and will be created and being created remains a product of the spoken word at creation: saying, ‘let there be …’.
Great inventions, technological advancement and groundbreaking records by man in modern and in more modern times are all functions of the continuing words of ‘fullness’, ‘replenish’ and ‘let there be…’.

What does all these mean? When God finished the first and original work of creation on the six day in which He created man as the last and indeed the crown of His creation at the time, the Almighty handed over to man the authority to continue from where He stopped and rested on the seventh day.
Understand that from that point the mandate given to man is to ‘replenish the earth’. Agreed, man lost that authority to satan in the garden of Eden. But understand also that the Son of the Living God regained that authority back to man. So, as it is at the moment, God expects and needs man to express that authority on His behalf.
However, there is a sad end to this foregoing conclusion. Since the authority of furthering God’s creative abilities now lies with man, satan too needs man to express that authority in his own name, falsity and subtilty. Why? (1) that he may continue to enjoy the glory that belongs to the Almighty. (2) That his influence, depravity, falsity and evil power may continue to spread on the earth.

Ah! Understand that Satan is constantly in contest with God through man. What does this mean? Without man’s response to satan, satan is actually zero. Since the moment of the Cross of Calvary, Man remains an authority over satan. But man does not know this reality. Do you know that at no time in the Bible did God refer to satan as His son? Do you know that at different points, God referred to man as His son? Understand that even the Son of God was declared as the Son of man. Understand also that the Son of God is our brother born of the same eternal blood (Acts.17:24) and we are co-heirs with Him in God and in the replenishing of the earth.

Ah! Dearly beloved, we have gone too far off the path. If the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof (Ps.24:1), if all the silver and gold are God’s (Hag.2:8) and if the cattle upon a thousand hills belong to God (Ps.50:10) and if we are gods of authority under the Almighty (Ps.82:6), then why are we not groundbreakers in greatness, in breakthroughs and mighty records? Why are we strugglers only? Why is it that the majority of Christians are talkers, not makers, movers, shakers and creators of great things?
The best that most of us are is being preachers without being the manifesters of mighty works. On the other end, however, the children of darkness are performers of worthy courses, great things and mighty inventions. Oh! The princes are now on foot whilst the servants are continuing to ride on horses.
Hmmm! I can understand. The salt of the world has fast lost its savour and become the sand of the world. The light has gone so badly dim. But we are the heir of the great and wealthy God. But our authority lies dormant. Therefore, we feed as though our father is not rich in all things.

I decree therefore that a thousand and far more people who will be reading this edition now and after now, receive the knowledge to realise who you are in God. Receive fresh revival fire to take on your portion and possess them. And I command that we all truly become gods of authority on the earth as designed by the Almighty, in Jesus name.
Please repeat the words of this song now: I am a trillionaire, a trillionaire indeed and in deed. My father is rich in all things, and I am His heir. I realise my position and reach for my possessions today. I exercise my authority I possess my possessions and positions from henceforth. I shall use my possessions, positions and authority to replenish the earth. I shall advance the course of the Almighty and fulfill it without delay, without compromise and without looking back. With my co-blood brother, Christ with me, my success on every sphere is assured and guaranteed. I enforce that success from this day.

IN THE END, GOD MADE MAN TO BECOME A MAKER, BLESSED TO BECOME A BLESSING AND A CREATURE TO BECOME A CREATOR. THEREFORE, MAN MUST NOT BE LESS THAN THE SPOKEN STANDARD OF DIVINE DESIGN.

Vol. 6, No. 3 – Sunday, 14th March, 2021
(Prov.23:18, Ex.12:, 1 Kings8:56, Chron.32:8)
THE FINAL WORD

Let us agree without a shadow of doubt that the strata of life exists in hierarchies, often from the least to the greatest. Whether we accept or not, especially by reason of unbelief or atheistic skepticism, there is a Supreme Being at the apex of all of life’s strata. Nothing else lasts but Him. And after Him is nothing else. The keys of the start/the beginning of all things and indeed the end of all ends remains with Him and He is the determiner of all things which are, which was and which will be.
Let us then draw certain conclusions from the foregoing preamble.

First, Proverbs chapter 23:18 states that ‘surely there is an end, and the expectations of the just shall not be cut off’.
The ‘end’ signifies expiry moment to everything that has had a beginning. Consider Eccl.3:1. There is a time apportioned for everything. Put simply, whatever is going on around you or wherever you think you are now, has an expiry date.
Are you flourishing in wealth? Consider the rainy day, and prepare in anticipation through God for it. Are you in that moment when the storm seems unending. Consider that the storm cannot last forever. Life is never as straight as the barrel of a gun; it is rather a containment of several bends or curves. Every journey of life ends with one learning curve or the other, thereby terminating that season.

Second, it means then that no condition lasts forever because change remains one of the few constant things in life. As it is often said in popular parlance, ‘no condition of life is permanent’.

Third, since our tongues are the deliverer or the destroyers of our lives depending on the wrong or right usage, the services of our tongues therefore can always be employed to terminate or enlongate any situation. Dearly beloved, consider these questions.
(1) Where are you now on the journey of life?
(2) Are you satisfied with that present position?
(3) Do you have an understanding of the reason you are in that present position?
(4) What time is God saying that the end will come?

Listen, if God is saying nothing, then consider that God is leaving the choice to you. Therefore, employ the services of your tongue today to effect that required change. Listen beloved, no man can control or successfully contend against your destiny and turn it down without your consent. Why? Because you are the greatest prophet/prophetess of your life besides God. The instrument of your destiny’s control for acceleration is not with the enemy but with you. It is your tongue. Rise up therefore today, and say something.
Remember Mark chapter 11:23, Jesus said you will have what you say. Remember Psalm 81:10, God said, ‘open wide your mouth and I will fill it’. Fill it with what? You are the one who will determine that.

When I was in secondary school, I told my youngest brother that when I am older, I will go to America. Today, I am the only person from my family who has traveled outside my native country to white man’s land. Did you get that?
Remember Exodus chapter 10:28. Did not Pharaoh declare his own end by himself? It is written: ‘and Pharaoh said unto him, get thee from me. Take heed to thyself. See my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face, thou shalt die’.
Do you know that that man Pharaoh never saw Moses again until the day the firstborns in Egypt were slaughtered? The Bible recorded that that night Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron in haste, and seeing each other that dark night, two anointings faced each other, that of light and that of darkness. It was therefore a collision between the stronger and the weaker.
Moses’ anointing prevailed. Why? When the day broke and Israel had journeyhed onto the edge of the Red Sea, Pharaoh pursued, and having declared his own end with his own tongue previously, he died wrecklessly in the Red Sea. Thus his tenure of reign as king and his existence as a living being came to an abrupt end.

Declare with your tongue that no evil will befall your children. That your children will be a million times better than you. That you will not die before your time. That your glory and great legacy will shine greatly whilst you are alive and that they will even outlive you. That wealth and every form of prosperity shall become your errand boy, and lack and losses shall be ended. That your health right now shall blossom and at old age you will not become a liability to anyone for Moses was yet strong even when he was a hundred and twenty years old.
Dearly beloved, command the resources of heaven to begin to answer for you from now. Command down the power and the grace for evangelism upon your life. Command unusual rain of fruitful anointing to flood your head and life now and abide with you forever.

IN THE END, REMEMBER THAT IT IS GOD AND YOUR TONGUE THAT HAVE THE FINAL WORD OVER YOUR LIFE, NOT ANY MAN OR THE ENEMY. I DECLARE WITH THE TONGUE SEASONED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE POWER OF HIS CROSS THAT I SHALL SEE YOU ALL AT THE TOPMOST POINT OF LIFE’S GREATNESS. BE BLESSED FOREVER. AMEN.

Vol. 6, No. 2 – Sunday, 7th March, 2021
(Dan.4:34-37, Jn.3:17, 22)
THE IMMENSE POWER OF UNDERSTANDING

Every man has found himself at his present spiritual level, current achievement, progress, retardation or retrogression, failure or success because of his limited or expanded understanding. Consider the fact below as contained in Proverbs chapter 4:7. The verse under reference reads: ‘Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom; and with all thy getting; get understanding’.
You mean despite wisdom being the most principal thing, there is still need for understanding? Ah! I concede therefore that if wisdom is the path to solution, understanding is the actual solution.

Do you know that the reason people’s spiritual lives are dry, low or stagnated may not be because they aren’t praying or fasting. It may just be a failure of understanding the word of God which they try to study. The lone reason why certain bad dreams come to pass in our lives is not because wisdom failed us as to remembering the dreams after we awoke. But because there was no understanding of the meaning. The lack of understanding of these dreams therefore triggered praying in the wrong direction.
Frankly speaking, without understanding, God’s hidden treasures in a man’s belly can never manifest. Men never get stuck in any sphere of life except when they become bereft of understanding. There is a revelational understanding needed by man in order for him to get closer to God, ascend the ladder of greatness and solve great mysteries and problems.
A riotous home is headed by a husband who lacks understanding. The woman or the wife who constantly nags may be so attractive but lacks understanding. I contend without any trepidations that a clear understanding of any stubborn situation turns that unpleasant situation from a stumbling-block to a stepping-stone.

I repeat again, we are where we are today because of our lack or lots of understanding of the situations, signs and mysteries of yesterday. Note: just as these three greats of faith, hope and love must be in the company of any Christian in order to please God and in order to make it to heaven at last, so also the three greats of knowledge, wisdom and understanding must accompany man in this present age in order for success to be attained and in order for one’s destiny to be fulfilled with effortless ease.

IN THE END, IF UNDERSTANDING IS LACKING,SOLUTION BECOMES A MIRAGE, AND EVEN PRAYERS CANNOT BE SO EASILY ANSWERED. THEREFORE, WITH ALL OUR SINEWS AND STRENGTH, LET US GET UNDERSTANDING.
