AFD AUGUST 2026

WELCOME TO MONTH AUGUST 2026: MONTH TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW IN THE GRACE! 

“. . . 2 For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [THE LAW OF OUR NEW BEING] has SET YOU FREE from the LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH . . .” Romans 8:1-17/Amplified. 

You are specially welcomed to Month Eight [8], the month of August 2026, in the fulness and living name of the one true and holy and Triune God: The Father, The Word – the person of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit [1 John 5:7/2 Corinthians 13:14]. And the month of August is themed and otherwise entitled: FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW! Signifying: “Ensuring Our REDEMPTION and FREEDOM By The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus’ Stead” 

The Month of AUGUST, being the eighth month of the year and thus representing a new beginning, is the eighth month of both the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars, and one of the seven months that has 31 days. The name AUGUST thus creates an inspiring, revealing and empowering context of grace, as to being SANCTIFIED. And to be SANCTIFIED is to set apart for uniqueness and class – as a person for: REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDEUR AND LORDLINESS.  

And by reason of the Month 0f August theme: FREEDOM BY THE LAW HIGHER LAW, it will take THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS to ensure, assure and actualise any act to AUGUST one’s life in the stead of grace – as to being DIGNIFIED, as to being REVERED, as to being ADMIRED, as to being MAJESTIC, as to being EMINENT, as to being VENERABLE, as to being GRAND, as to being LORDLY and such like that embody the act to august in life and grace. 

The context of the higher law can be likened to gravitational pull being overcome by the law of upthrust that enables an aircraft to fly against gravity and be sustained in the air for as long as the overcoming thrust is applied. That same principle allows a ship, cruise liner and such like to express buoyancy on water without sinking in respect to the gravitational pull. And in the same manner, there is a higher law – the law of the Spirit of life – that is a default in grace to enable the believer in God and in Christ Jesus to live above the law of SIN and DEATH whose effects are: CONDEMNATION, POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, which result in both physical and eternal death. That is what the book of Romans, in setting the stage for this month writ enjoins us with in this knowledge: 

“Therefore there is NOW NO CONDEMNATION [NO GUILTY VERDICT, NO PUNISHMENT] for those who ARE in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [THE LAW OF OUR NEW BEING] has SET YOU FREE from the LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH. 3 For what the Law could not do [that is, OVERCOME SIN and REMOVE ITS PENALTY, ITS POWER] being weakened by the flesh [man’s nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son], 4 so that the [righteous and just] requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not live our lives in the ways of the flesh [guided by worldliness and our sinful nature], but [live our lives] in the ways of the Spirit [guided by His power] . . . 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you . . .” Romans 8:1-17/Amplified. 

The law of Sin and death is the law of the flesh, built upon the mosaic Law that resulted from the consequences of the fall in Eden. And in each case there are curses and blessings. But the blessings are conditional. But by reason of the higher law – which is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – complete, total, and whole FREEDOM is now made available to all who come to God in Christ Jesus’ stead. That is why the book of Galatians, chapter five, in this writ has enjoined us to do this: 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 4 You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing]. 5 For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation]. 6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were called to FREEDOM; only do not let your FREEDOM become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another . . . 16 But I say, walk HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law” Galatians 5:1-18/Amplified. 

Through the cause of this month August, I will be laying reasons, why you must intentionally resolve and be pragmatic, to live above the knowledge of the law of Sin and Death, the Higher Law, which is of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus stead. For it’s your redemption freedom month, to actualised FREEDOM and ensure it in every phase of doing life and living godly in the grace. 

And in the course of the Month, the ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST [AFD], the Monthly TEACHING Magazine, for month August 2026, will be available with all the minor and fuller detailed writ for you to explore and enact as you do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

You are therefore welcomed to the Month August 2026 – your month in the grace to AUGUST [Dignify, Honour, Noble, Revered and more], your life in REDEMPTION FREEDOM, by THE HIGHER LAW – The LAW of The Spirit of LIFE [LIFE-GIVING] in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. It is your time to ensure FREEDOM by THE WORD and PRAYER in connectivity with the great God who lives in us. 

Join me in all LIVE EVENTS through this month via the CEFMORSI APP, YouTube Live and ZOOM VIRTUAL MEETINGS. God CARES and LOVES you in Christ Jesus, and so do I, in His stead, in the grace. 

 WELCOME AGAIN TO THE MONTH AUGUST: Month of FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW! 

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING & PONDERING ON CONTEXT: 

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” John 14:6 

“As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you ABIDE [CONTINUE] in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it . . .14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and TRUTH . . . 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17. 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me FREE from THE LAW of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh . . . 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also GIVE LIFE to your MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you . . .14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God . . . 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together” Romans 8:1-17. 

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by THE LAW. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor” Galatians 3:10-25. 

“12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) . . . 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 4 You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing]. 5 For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation]. 6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were called to FREEDOM; only do not let your FREEDOM become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another . . . 16 But I say, walk HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law” Galatians 5:1-18/Amplified. 

“. . . For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:1-13. 

SUMMARY: 

This is a prophetic, doctrinal and pastoral charge for August 2026. It establishes that true Kingdom living and prosperity is only possible by operating under THE HIGHER LAW — THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, which sets the believer free from THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

KEY POINTS OF THE MESSAGE

1. THE MONTH AND ITS MEANING

• August is Month 8: Represents new beginning and sanctification. 

• The name AUGUST: Carries a grace-context of being set apart for REVERENCE, DIGNITY, MAJESTY, EMINENCE, VENERATION, GRANDEUR and LORDLINESS. 

• Theme: FREEDOM BY THE HIGHER LAW — “Ensuring Our REDEMPTION and FREEDOM By The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus’ Stead” 

2. THE TWO LAWS CONTRASTED

• THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH: 

• The law of the flesh, built on the Mosaic Law, resulting from the fall in Eden. 

• Operates with curses and conditional blessings. 

• Produces: CONDEMNATION, POVERTY, SICKNESS, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL DEATH Romans 8:2. 

• THE HIGHER LAW — LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE: 

• The default in grace for the believer in Christ Jesus. 

• Illustrated like upthrust overcoming gravity, or buoyancy overcoming sinking. 

• Result: Complete, total and whole FREEDOM Romans 8:2, Galatians 5:1. 

• Romans 8:1-4, 11: No condemnation. The Spirit gives life to mortal bodies. God condemned sin in the flesh through Christ. 

3. BIBLICAL FOUNDATION FOR FREEDOM

• Romans 8: We are not to walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. As many as are led by the Spirit are sons of God and heirs with Christ. 

• Galatians 5:1-18: We were called to FREEDOM. We must “stand firm” and not return to slavery. We are to “walk habitually in the Spirit” and not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Faith works through love. 

• Galatians 3:10-25: Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law. The Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 

• John 8:31-32; John 14:6; John 1:1-17: Truth makes free. Jesus is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE. Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ. 

4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

• Freedom is not automatic. It must be ensured, assured and actualised. 

• The Law could not overcome sin because it was weakened by the flesh. God did it through Christ Romans 8:3. 

• Righteousness is now by faith, not by works of the Law Romans 10:4-10. 

• Freedom is not license. “Do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another” Galatians 5:13. 

5. AUGUST AS A REDEMPTION FREEDOM MONTH

• It is a time to AUGUST your life — to dignify, honour, and cause your life to be revered. 

• This happens by living above the knowledge and effects of the law of sin and death.
