Theme of the Year: A.D. 2020 Our Year of Divine All-Round Sufficiency. (2 Corinthians 3:5; 9:8)

Them of the Month: Divine All-Round Sufficiency
Topic: New Mind for Divine All-Round Sufficiency

Mind is the human consciousness that originates in the brain and is manifested especially in thought, perception, emotion, will, memory, and imagination. The mind is the starting point of everything a man does and becomes in life. It plays a very important role in in the whole being of a man. Keeping the mind in right condition for effective and productive reasoning is sole responsibility of man. The Bible teaches in the book of Romans 12:2 thus: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”. The word of God renews the mind when it is studied regularly, believed and adopted as standard for living.
The mind is a battlefield for the Spirit of God and the devil as both seek for supremacy of control. A man whose heart is under the control of the devil cannot be pleasing to God and such cannot receive blessings from God. In order to live a life of divine all-round sufficiency the mind must be well positioned and guided. The Bible says, "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires". (II Peter 1:3-4). Everything we need for life and godliness comes through the knowledge of Him. In other words, applying the word of God is what affects your life.

Dearly beloved people of God, there are opportunities to have divine all-round sufficiency prepared by God for you to enjoy this year, but you need to determine to stay with God to enjoy them. The devil will try with all sorts of tricks to distract and disconnect you from God and His word, but I implore you to make conscious effort in determining to stay in tune with God. The more you are connected with God the more He reveals and proves Himself in your life. The Bible presents a lot of detailed instructions on what kinds of things we should think about. Philippians 4:8 alone tells us to think about things that build us up, not tear us down. “For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].” (Amp).

If you want to know how God intends to grant you divine all-round sufficiency get into the Word of God. Read the Bible for its teaching, study the Scripture systematically, meditate on God’s Word devotionally, and memorize it faithfully—each of these are transforming activities that position your life for divine all-round sufficiency. God bless you.

22 tenets of faith,

OUR TENETS OF FAITH THESE WE BELIEVE (a.k.a. Our Tenets of Faith) Our  belief  is based on core biblical truths we call the  22 tenets of faith , as drafted by Foursquare founder  Aimee Semple McPherson. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17). THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14). THE FALL OF MAN We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12). THE PLAN OF SALVATION We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8). SALVATION THROUGH GRACE We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8). REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justifie...

The unfailing God (Isaiah 40:28-31)

Sunday 3rd September, 2017 Theme: The unfailing God (Isaiah 40:28-31); Topic: restoring the lost Grounds (1 Samuel 30:8; Ezekiel 37:3-5) God is supreme in the universe. His word is final. When He speaks heaven and earth are affected because great number of publishers is attached to the intent of His command or promise according to Psalm 68:11,”The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it”. See also 2 Kings 6:16 where Prophet Elisha assured his servant, “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them”. Everything in heaven and earth is affected when God speaks. Even Satan is affected because all things must work together for the good of the purpose of our God. Since the word of God cannot be broken, why do we always have some promises lingering for a long time without manifestation? Where do we miss it? The story of Daniel is an eye opener to us. The man of God stood in prayer for 21 days and the Prince of Persia (a...
