Welcome to October

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF OCTOBER: YOUR SEASONS OF CELEBRATION AND JUBILATION.

All the glory be to God for His faithfulness and mercies over our lives and families. The Lord that kept us alive in good health for nine months, will continually protect us from all evils and grant us all round peace throughout the remaining days and months in this year in Jesus. And as we celebrate 61st year of independence in Nigeria, the Lord will turn our captivity around after the order of Samaria and heal our land in Jesus name. Happy Independence Celebration.

The word of the Lord to you this new month of October:

1 Peter 5:8-11  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 

To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

We are to be steadfast in the faith, and in our walk with God. And we must not allow anything or anyone to get us off track from living for the Lord and doing His will at all times.

It is time for us to draw closer to God,  grow up spiritually, and stop allowing circumstances, and even other people, to cause us to lose our stand in the faith. We must do what it takes to be strong, and not allow ourselves to become weakened by those things that are occurring in our lives. The Lord said in His words: All things work together for good to them who love God and are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.

And to accomplish this, we must fortify ourselves with continuous praises and thanksgivings to the Lord,  daily times of prayer and Bible study, as well as faithful church attendance, among other things that are the basics of Christianity.

It is my prayer for you as we start a new month, that your joy will be full, and God's blessings will be multiplied on to you and your family and no sorrow shall be added to you and your family in Jesus name. 

 You will be divinely connected with your destiny helpers and supernaturally provided for, that you will not lack anything good, but you shall be a channel of blessings to many lives in Jesus name.

 The blood of Jesus will protect you and your family from all evils in the day and in the night, on the road and at home, and you will dwell in safety and perfect peace. The blood of Jesus will speak mercy and favour into your life  and defend you against the opposition and the voice of the accusers in Jesus name. 

Men will call you blessed and find solace in your comforting words and counsel. You will not be put to shame and for every shame of the past you will receive double fold glory and honour in Jesus name. 

Divine favour will bring to you unmerited promotion, breakthroughs and lifting beyond human understanding and  imagination. Those who think God has forgotten you will see that you are precious to Him and He has reserved the very best for you to crown the year for you with goodness in Jesus name.

 For every delay you have suffered, you will receive divine speed and supernatural acceleration to show that God is not late in your case, and all your wasted years shall be recovered to the glory of His name. You will begin to cross limits and subdue barriers by the Hand of God that will come upon you newly in Jesus name.

In place of every struggle, receive grace for uncommon blessings effortlessly in Jesus Name. Those who laughed at you in secret will come and celebrate with you openly. All your labour of the past that seems fruitless, unrewarded and forgotten will receive  God's attention for unmerited manifold rewards after the order of Mordecai in Jesus name.

 Rejoice for it is your turn to celebrate. Only sounds of joy and celebrations shall be heard in your house. Welcome to your seasons of jubilation, and no sorrow shall be added to you in Jesus name. Remain blessed and have a glorious new month.
