Praise the Lord!

We bless the name of the lord for the wonderful testimonies from the month of October – our month of ‘divine promotions’ and with joy in my heart, I welcome you to the 11^th month of year 2017.

November is our month of ‘Great exploits’- Daniel 11:32 – ‘And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits’.

Daniel 11:32b states that ‘…the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits – this connotes that God shall strengthen the lives of those who wholeheartedly believes & serves him, and great and mighty works shall they do unto him the maker of heaven and earth.

It is my earnest prayer that the supreme God shall strengthen thee for great exploits and thus the men will magnify him through thy good works in Jesus name – Amen!

The word ‘exploit’ as described by the study series is the thought of knowing God, being strong, and doing exploits. Christ believers are different from the unsaved in three major areas and they are:

1. Knowing
2. Being and
3. Doing

These three are inter-related. For, it is when we come to the full knowledge of God, that we can be strengthened and once we are strengthened in God’s might, we can do great and mighty exploits.

Conversely, if do not do exploits for God, it is because we are not strong; and if we are not strong, it is because we have not come to the full knowledge of him our maker, the alpha and omega.

WAYS TO DO EXPLOITS

1. You can do great exploits for God by rendering a reasonable service unto the lord and this starts from the house of the lord which is the gathering of his (God’s) people – Job 36:11.
2. Serving your community. Service to humanity is of great importance and this you can do by volunteering in any form of capacity in your community and this ranges from the foster children homes, adults homes, the homeless or the less privileged etc.
3. Spreading/Preaching the good news of Jesus Christ – Mark 6:7.
4. Praying/Standing in gap for the needy and those going through trying times.

REWARD FOR SERVICE

1. Prosperity will be your portion – Job 36:11.
2. Sickness and untimely deaths will be far from you and your household.
3. You will immensely be rewarded in all areas.
4. Eternity experience shall continually be your portion.
5. You shall be reckoned with among your equals and in your community – Matthew 20:26.

November is a crucial month for us all, let us give back to the society as a form of our social/civic responsibilities and this we can do in any capacity be it financially, spiritually, physically, emotionally etc.

From the January to November 2017, who can you say you witness the love of Christ to? If you are yet to do this, kindly make plans and do the needful for we are fishers of men (Mark 1:17) and lost souls need to be redeemed back to God’s kingdom – Mathew 16:26, John 3:16.

Remember, Jesus is lord and he is coming back again.

November, our month of service to God and humanity.

Shalom!
