LIVING AND BUILDING ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD! 

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLD’S (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [FORMED, put in ORDER, and EQUIPPED for their intended PURPOSE] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Psalms 11:3/Amplified. 

The neglect of the foundation of anything will cause harmful effects in anything intended to be built upon that foundation. 

When the Father God laid the foundation of the earth and the built-up of the world in it for humans and all created things, He ensured that the foundation was without question. He ensured and assured Himself that the architectural and structural design could and would withstand the heavy load of the billions of human factors and activities that would be carried out on it, as written in Psalm 24:1-2; Isaiah 45:18; Revelation 4:11; Hebrews 11:3. 

And there is a great lesson to be learnt: to start from the known of God to the unknown, if we follow the principles of His Word as found in the Holy Writ. 

I have, as well as you might have, studied and am still studying, to know; and have grown and am still growing, to say that I have seen natural, human and spiritual devastations in different spheres of humanity. I have seen structural buildings of many sorts — both small and great — reduced to rubble. And the result of any devastating occurrence is always relatively costly in human, natural and spiritual terms. 

And I have, as well as you might have, seen, read, observed and watched the loss of individual and public properties of various segments, cutting across and not limited to: Agricultural lands, Businesses, Ministries/Church buildings, Government Offices, Non-governmental and parastatal establishments, Families and individual residences, and such like. 

In all situations and circumstances, it is always a deeply heart-felt, touching and heartbreaking experience for anyone to go through the metamorphosis of change in various segments — especially in helpless situations, awaiting the worst of both ends: the loss of lives, livelihoods and properties. 

And in some cases, the devastations are really very, very bad and beyond comprehension in terms of human loss, financial cost, spiritual cost and more, to those affected respectively. 

As I prepared to write this, and while recalling and flipping through various accessible multimedia channels not long ago, I could see devastations of human lives, livelihoods and properties, and such like, in various nations of the world. The effects of weather impact in those places, and in some especially, are a cause for tears, pain, hurt and the unimaginable. 

While some could be natural, others are as a result of human negligence over time by those who ought to have put in place a well-thought-out foundation that could have withstood the tests of time, but failed to see reason to get things done as would have been expected. 
Though some of these devastations are of natural causes, most of the time there are human creations and causes that have been undermined — especially in places that ought to have been subjected and scrutinised to proper standards and principles, but have been overlooked and given free leverage. This has resulted in the overwhelming costs of lives, livelihoods, properties, finances and such like, being incurred. 

Now, shifting from natural and human devastations to the spiritual devastating state, you will find that the spiritual devastating state is even more shocking, considering the deception, delusion, indoctrination, adulteration, perversion, falsehood and man-made effects upon people. 
Worst still is when you consider many of those who are called Christians, or followers of Jesus Christ, or Believers answering to the Faith in Christ Jesus, who are without the basic foundation or foundational knowledge and understanding of the Faith they claim to belong to, except to their denominational doctrinal settings — creeds, bylaws, traditional dogmas and such like. 
Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Acts 8:9-24 

While many have sincerely given their lives to God in Christ Jesus and have resolved to both believe and follow Christ Jesus as their foundation, there are others who have found themselves knowingly and or unknowingly on a wrongly laid FOUNDATION — especially in some places of worship. And there are others who have blindly followed the blind, and have been swayed away from the TRUTH in their faith foundation of the Gospel. 
In each case, many are not only wrongly founded, but are also building wrongly upon that same foundation that was wrongly laid. 
1 Corinthians 3:1-17; 2 Timothy 2:19-21 

And it is partly upon the concerns in the above paragraph that the call comes to us: to help some, if not all, to the place of living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus. This is to bring the essence of light out of darkness, into the full knowledge of God in the face of Christ Jesus, as written:  

“For God, who said, “Let LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to GIVE us the Light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ . . . 13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had, who wrote in Scripture, “I believed, therefore I spoke.” We also believe, therefore we also speak, 14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and will present us [along] with you in His presence” 2 Corinthians 4:6, 13-14/Amplified. 

And laying the foundation of one’s FAITH on THE ROCK, and building and living on that same ROCK, which is Jesus Christ — the Foundation and the Builder of His Church — is God’s expectation of us if we must THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus; and to save us from living and building a life of SURVIVAL while we yet acclaim to be God’s own in every sense. Matthew 7:24-27. 

Our Father God, in His eternal plan, laid the unshaken and indestructible foundation of our FAITH in His set plan for human REDEMPTION in His Son Jesus Christ. This He did long before the formation and foundation of the world, the Scripture says — thus indicating that the world, in God’s plan, has a FOUNDATION to keep it stable for purpose. 
Revelation 13:8; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Hebrews 9:26; Ephesians 1:4; John 17:24 

I will be taking time to expatiate, segment upon segment, in the course of the month, on what it means to live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is of God in Christ Jesus, so that you and I can enjoy the fulness and fulfilling life and godly living in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3. 

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27. 

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have THE TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for THE TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5. 

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12. 

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is titled “LIVING AND BUILDING ON – ‘THE SURE FOUNDATION’ – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!” 
It is a call to examine the foundation of our faith and life, and to intentionally build on Christ Jesus alone, because every life, ministry, family and nation will face storms. Only what is founded on THE ROCK will stand and THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. God Himself Lays Foundations That Withstand
    From creation, God ensured the earth and world were laid on a sure foundation to carry the weight of human activity and purpose.
    Hebrews 11:3 | “By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” 
    Psalms 24:1-2 | “The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods” 
    Isaiah 45:11-12 | “I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” 
    Revelation 4:11 | “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” 
     
  2. The Cost of Wrong or Neglected Foundations
    Natural,human and spiritual devastations reveal what happens when foundations are weak, overlooked, or wrongly laid. We see buildings reduced to rubble, loss of lives, livelihoods, properties, and ministries. Spiritually, it is worse — deception, delusion, false doctrine, and man-made religion have left many believers without basic knowledge of the Faith. 
    Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Acts 8:9-24 
     
  3. Christ Jesus IS THE SURE FOUNDATION
    No other foundation can be laid. God’s eternal plan of redemption in Christ wasestablished before the world was formed. 
    Revelation 13:8; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Hebrews 9:26; Ephesians 1:4; John 17:24 
    1 Corinthians 3:11 | “FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST” 
    2 Timothy 2:19 | “Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his” 
     
  4. How We Build Matters
    God expects us to not only be founded on THE ROCK, but to build andlive on Him. The quality of our building will be tested. 
    Matthew 7:24-27 | “Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK… it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK” 
    1 Corinthians 3:10-17 | “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION… But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon” 
    2 Corinthians 4:6 | “For God, who said, “Let LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to GIVE us the Light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ” 
     
  5. The September Mandate
    The theme is to help believers move from survival to thriving byliving and building on THE SURE FOUNDATION. This brings us out of darkness into the full knowledge of God in Christ, and prepares us for the tests of time. 
    2 Peter 1:19 | “We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN” 
    Revelation 19:10 | “for THE TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. EXAMINE YOUR FOUNDATION — Ask: Is my faith, family, work, and ministry built on Christ, or on creeds, traditions, or human wisdom? 
    Psalms 11:3 | “If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” 
  2. BUILD WISELY — Hear AND DO the Word. Be a vessel of honour, purged and prepared for the Master’s use. 
    2 Timothy 2:20-21 | “If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 
  3. THRIVE, NOT SURVIVE — Commit this month to segment-by-segment teaching on THE SURE FOUNDATION so you can enjoy fulness and godly living in Christ Jesus’ stead. 4
  4. STAND SURE — Let the Word be your light. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy for your life this season.

MONTH SEPTEMBER 2026 ENTITLED

By Leave a Comment

MONTH SEPTEMBER 2026 ENTITLED: “GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST! 

The Month of September 2026 is the MONTH OF BUTTERFLYING IN THE GRACE; it is the month to answer these questions here, though not limited to them: WHY GO PURSUING AFTER THE BUTTERFLY, WHEN YOU CAN CULTIVATE [CREATE AND CURATE] YOUR GARDEN WITHIN YOU BY GROWING YOUR PLANT – AND THE BUTTERFLIES WILL COME TO YOU, TO MAKE YOU BUTTERFLYING? THINK! 

I know that my God and your God, in Christ Jesus, wants to put an end to your aimlessness, sweating, depression, struggling, tiredness and such like. Hence I am using metaphor to illustrate to you what this Month is all about for you. A month of GROWTH and FRUITFULNESS that is ENTITLED: “GROWING IN THE GRACE & KNOWLEDGE IN CHRIST!” 

LET ME SHARE WITH YOU A PERSONAL LIFE STORY AS A METAPHOR TO THIS MONTH THEME. 

I found out just before I got married to my virtuous wife that everything around her showed signs of the butterfly, especially in her drawings. I thought is because of her tendency towards being a graphic designer and communicator. In closer observation, I also found out that the pendant on her necklace was most times with a butterfly, and sometimes on the bangles on her hand. There was a butterfly on top of the bangles. I never knew then that she was telling a storyline of saying, I am matured and ready to fly as a Butterfly. Now I know, without asking her for explanation. 

However, I didn’t read much meaning into it then, apart from saying, “OK, that’s what ladies like.” And in the course of getting married and planning for our wedding, I noticed that she was so insistent that the card be designed with a butterfly, and that the decorations would follow along the same line. There were others I cannot recall fully well now. I used to just say “butterfly lady” without reading meaning into it, but I observed it. And eventually, that’s what was done. 

I’ve thought of lots of things that had to do with the butterfly around her. I couldn’t understand fully well then what it meant. I later found out, in the course of researching in recent times, as I’ve been thinking about growth and fruitfulness and development and fulfilment in life and knowledge, and in many thoughts – That’s when the concept of the butterfly came alive again. While I was analysing, I realised there are four stages of growth and development in the becoming of the Butterfly – to BUTTER-FLY indeed in glory and beauty and grace. 

Although I knew something about the Butterfly in my Secondary School days as a student of Biology and Agricultural Science, before heading for Engineering – I didn’t think much about it as I have thought about the Butterfly at this period of my life, from a spiritual perspective. The butterfly has four stages of life: the time of the Egg, the time of the Larva [Caterpillar], the Pupa [Chrysalis], and eventually the formation of the Butterfly – the final stage. These stages or phases are signs of growth, signs of progressive changes. It is what is called metamorphosis – into what we want to become, as most of us want to become something in life and grace, in the grace. 

Let us consider a Butterfly in respect of growth and development in STAGES [PHASES]: 

A butterfly develops through four distinct life stages in a PROCESS called complete metamorphosis. This total transformation takes about one month to complete the cycle: 

THE FOUR STAGES ARE: 

1.The “Egg” Stage: 

Female butterflies lay tiny, round or oval eggs on plant leaves. These leaves will serve as food when the young hatch. 

2. The “Larva [Caterpillar]” Stage: 

A hungry caterpillar emerges to eat leaves and grow. It sheds its tight skin several times as its body gets bigger. 

3. The “Pupa [Chrysalis]” Stage: 

The full-grown caterpillar forms a hard shell called a chrysalis. Inside this shell, its body changes completely into a winged insect. 

4. The “Adult [Butterfly]” Stage: 

The adult insect breaks out of the chrysalis. It rests while its wet wings dry and fill with fluid before it flies away. 

The metaphoric writ is not about the Butterfly, but about YOU – to think and to derive something that will cause you to dream, to have a desire, to have a vision, and to understand that there is a process to becoming as a born-of –God child in Christ Jesus’ stead. Unfortunately, like the Butterfly, most people do not want to go through any processes to their becoming. They want to wake up one morning and just become – which is not only an illusion but has brought many to a place of delusion. 

But those who are wise take the path of growth to fruitfulness, by undergoing a process that will process them into becoming and has processed them into what they have BECOME. The wise know that when they are processed, and get to their place of becoming, they are solid, they are efficient, they are strong, they are competent, they are diligent, they are prudent. They have worth, they have quality and they are principled to the how of doing life and living godly, in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

That’s why sometimes, you may be wondering, “Why is that person so stable and I am not stable?” The first thing you will want to ask yourself is: Did you follow through a PROCESS to arrive at the point you are at? Did you go through a PROCESS in life in that marital state? Did you go through a PROCESS in your educational career, in that degree course? Did you go through the PROCESS, or did you just ARRIVE or buy your way into the present point of your life right now without any process? 

For a butterfly to become a butterfly, there is a process to go through to come to that point. 

different phase in my life, a place of beauty and glory. A time to fly and display what I am made of, what I have been processed into. 

That’s why growth is so important to our fruitfulness in life and grace. And when you GROW as a Believer in God by God’s Word, in GRACE and in KNOWLEDGE, in Christ Jesus, in respect and context of this Month of September theme in Christ Jesus — you don’t just grow for nothing, but your growth makes you become in fruitfulness. 

Hence, I am persuaded and I am persuading you to see the need for GROWTH and FRUITFULNESS. For your growing in the grace, and growing in the knowledge in Christ Jesus, takes you out of struggle, religion, sectarianism, traditions and such like creeds and bondages that many have been addicted to, instead of growing. 

For if you are not growing, you will be stunted and withered with time. 

Because it is growth and fruitfulness, you radiate, you rekindle, you rejuvenate, you blossom and you refresh effortlessly. 

When you are processed into becoming, it will be said of you as was said of the Apostles and disciples in the early days — when the people analysed the whole process, they said, “This person,” “these people” are different, unique and peculiar — just as they said of the apostles, “they have been with Jesus,” as a mark of their uniqueness. 

These people that turned the world upside down, there was something unique about their lives, because they had been with Jesus. 

You will find out that the epitome of what you are trying to bring forth and show forth is that great bright light, that beauty you want to display — being grown in grace and knowledge in Christ Jesus, and not in yourself or in someone else. 

They will see — that behind it, before it, around it, within it — is the beauty of Jesus, the beauty of Christ. 

Like somebody trying to squeeze you in life, what you radiate, the aroma that comes from you, the fragrance, the beauty — what comes out of you is just Jesus, and nothing else. You just ooze out that glory, that beauty of life. 

When the butterfly is processed into a butterfly, through stage after stage, and when it is ready to fly, fully grown — some of us, like me as a growing child, tried to catch them. We would run after them. 

I can remember growing up as a child, during primary school, at break time. We would go out to play. We would see butterflies flying around, and we would try to capture them. Sometimes we succeeded, sometimes we didn’t. We burned energy, we burned time during that break, chasing butterflies of different sizes and colours and beauty. Some of us who were able to bring one into the classroom, we were all happy for him or her. And if you were not able, you kept on trying the next time. It was just beautiful, just to watch butterflies fly around. 

And when I look today, in the course of this month’s theme we have — if I want to come to that place of butterflies, I have to cultivate the garden. 

So when I look at my family, at the garden my wife has made today, where we’ve spent most of the summer outdoors, it is such a welcoming and relaxing and beautiful and healthy place to be — and it is simply because of the upgrade she has made it become. This summer was uniquely different, and so we spent most of our time outdoors in the beautiful garden. 

Now, whether at sunrise or late evening, you can see lots and lots of butterflies of various species flying around the garden, displaying their character and beauty and glory. The bees were not left out either, as they display what it means to pollinate plants to produce fruit and flowers — the bees are there flying from plant to plant, helping with the pollination of the fruit plants that are there, and the flowers that are there. 

I just love the beauty of beholding the garden through the kitchen window, especially with my eyes focusing on the butterflies in various places. It makes my mind reflect on the butterflies and bees and other insects in the Garden of Eden. I can imagine how beautiful it was to see butterflies, and bees pollinating — every creature doing its bit. 

The butterfly makes me realise even more that there is something about each one of us and our uniqueness: We are like a seed. And for us to bring forth the beauty we have, we need to GROW. For us to grow, we have to be planted. We need to have a good, natural environment for that butterfly nature in us to come out. We need to grow into it. 

And when you GROW through the process into your butterfly life, in the grace and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus, there is something different about you. 

But if you do it in haste, to become it overnight, the Scriptural writ says, “He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent” — Proverbs 28:20. 
I say it again: He that is in haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 

That is why I love the scripture of Proverbs 11:11, and Proverbs 16:5: _ “He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.” _ 

There are Believers out there who will intentionally break laws, who will break rules in order to achieve their objectives. And there are people like that in the house of God, who just break the governing rules and governing laws and bypass the process to get to their desires. All they care about is, “I want to have a car, I want to have a house, I want to possess possessions,” without minding the consequences. 

When you trace the effects of the breaking of God’s Word, some people will say, “It is the end that justifies the means.” Unfortunately for them, in the context of the Kingdom, the process of acquiring what you want matters, and that is what justifies a child of God in grace and knowledge in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

If it is acquired by oppressing others, you are an oppressor. If you obtain what you obtain by intimidating others, you are not of God. You may have it, yes, but the Bible says, “The wicked shall not go unpunished” — and whatever you possess, you will not have peace, because “There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked” — Isaiah 48:22; Isaiah 57:21. 

But when you are processed to acquire what you want to acquire as a child of God, you are stable in your faith. You can call upon God, and He will be there for you. You are not afraid, you are not ashamed, because you know how you got there. If men applaud you for being there, you should know what it means, but if God approves you to be there, it is a different thing altogether — Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15.  

Therefore, in this month of September, the month of GROWING IN THE GRACE AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS, it is my earnest wish that, as a living plant, for you to attract your butterflies — and also as a seed, you need to grow to attract butterflies — you ensure that you are in good soil. That is your heart. So that your exposure will give you all the space for you to grow, and eventually, the butterflies will come. 

The butterfly will come to the garden to display its grace and to multiply too. The butterfly is always attracted to plants, and it will help with flowering, beautifying, and such like. 

I want you to know this, which is true: that every seed can become a forest by growing in the grace and knowledge of God — not in religion, not in dogma, not in tradition, not in the definition of men, but in the wisdom, and the power, and the Holy Spirit of God. 

And as a living seed, you have to be planted to grow up in the grace and knowledge of Christ Jesus, so that you can FLOURISH in the courts of our God. Don’t be a potted plant, but be a planted plant. It is in being planted that you can flourish to ensure God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

Growth in the grace and knowledge in Christ Jesus is a life that is without limitations, and it is irrespective of all ages. Fruitfulness is for all to ensure through Growing. 

Then your butterflies will come instead of you pursuing after the butterflies. 

God bless! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be diligent and make every effort to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. In which there are some things that are difficult to understand, which the untaught and unstable [who have fallen into error] twist and misinterpret, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of UNPRINCIPLED men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [SPIRITUALLY MATURE] IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18/Amplified. 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is able to BUILD YOU UP and to GIVE YOU the [rightful] inheritance among all those who are sanctified [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32/Amplified. 

“But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12 The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. [Rom 9:14]” Psalms 92:10-12. 

“Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has given to us all things that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, ADD TO YOUR FAITH virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to KNOWLEDGE self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be NEITHER BARREN NOR UNFRUITFUL IN THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even MORE DILIGENT to make your call and election sure, for if you DO these things you will NEVER stumble; 11 for so an ENTRANCE will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1-11. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. 

“Hear the word of the Lord, You children of Israel, For the Lord brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “There is NO TRUTH OR MERCY OR KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 MY PEOPLE are DESTROYED for lack OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have FORGOTTEN the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:1, 6. 

“13 Therefore MY PEOPLE have gone into CAPTIVITY, Because they have NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15. 

“Now so it was that after three days they found Him [Jesus] in the temple, SITTING in the MIDST of the TEACHERS, both LISTENING to them and ASKING them questions . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE [PHYSIQUE], and in FAVOUR with God and men” Luke 2:46, 52. 

SUMMARY: 
This message is a prophetic charge for SEPTEMBER 2026 entitled: “GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST” — a month of BUTTERFLING IN THE GRACE. 

Using the butterfly and the garden as a living metaphor, it calls every born-again believer to embrace PROCESS over HASTE, and to grow into fruitfulness in Christ Jesus. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE BUTTERFLY METAPHOR: PROCESS PRODUCES MANIFESTATION
  • A butterfly goes through 4 stages: Egg → Larva/Caterpillar → Pupa/Chrysalis → Adult Butterfly. This is called complete metamorphosis and takes time. 
  • The story of your wife’s wedding — the butterfly on the card, jewellery, and decor — was a prophetic picture: “I am matured and ready to fly.” A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime phase of beauty, glory, and display. 
  • Application: You cannot skip the process and still carry the glory. What is done in secret in the chrysalis is what is displayed in public. 
  1. WHY PEOPLE STRUGGLE: THEY WANT TO BECOME WITHOUT PROCESS
  • Many want to wake up and “just become.” That is illusion and leads to delusion. 
  • The wise take the path of growth. Processing makes you solid, efficient, strong, competent, diligent, prudent, principled. 
  • Self-check questions: Did you follow a PROCESS in marriage, education, career, or ministry? Or did you just ARRIVE or buy your way there? 
  • Scripture warning: “He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent” — Proverbs 28:20. “He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread” — Proverbs 11:11.  
  1. THE DANGER OF BYPASSING GOD’S PROCESS
  • Some in the house of God break rules, oppress, and intimidate just to “possess possessions.” 
  • “It is the end that justifies the means” is not Kingdom logic. In the Kingdom, the process matters. 
  • Consequence: “The wicked shall not go unpunished” and “There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked” — Isaiah 48:22; 57:21. 
  • God-processed people are stable. They are not afraid or ashamed because they know how they got there. Men may applaud, but God’s approval is different — Acts 2:22; 2 Tim 2:15. 
  1. GROWTH IN GRACE & KNOWLEDGE = FREEDOM & FRUITFULNESS
  • Growing in grace and knowledge in Christ Jesus delivers you from struggle, religion, sectarianism, tradition, and bondage. 
  • Without growth you become stunted and withered. With growth you radiate, rekindle, rejuvenate, blossom, and refresh effortlessly. 
  • Like the apostles, people will say of you: “They have been with Jesus.” Your life will ooze the aroma, fragrance, and beauty of Christ. 
  1. CULTIVATE YOUR GARDEN, DON’T CHASE BUTTERFLIES
  • Personal testimony: Your wife’s garden this summer attracted many butterflies and bees because it was cultivated and upgraded. 
  • Truth: Butterflies are attracted to planted, flowering gardens. They help with pollination and beauty. 
  • Application: You are a seed. To bring forth beauty you must be planted in good soil — your heart. Don’t be a potted plant. Be a planted plant so you can FLOURISH in the courts of our God — Psalms 92:13-14. 
  • Every seed can become a forest by growing in the wisdom, power, and Holy Spirit of God, not in religion, dogma, or men’s definition. 
  1. SCRIPTURAL ANCHORS FOR THE MONTH
  • 2 Peter 3:14-18: “But GROW in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” Be diligent, not carried away by error. 
  • Acts 20:32: “The word of His grace is able to build you up and give you inheritance.” 
  • 2 Peter 1:5-8: Add virtue, knowledge, self-control… “For if these things abound in you, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful.” 
  • Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” 

CALL TO ACTION: 

  1. DECIDE TO GROW: Be intentional about growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ Jesus through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. 
  2. EMBRACE THE PROCESS: Don’t take shortcuts. Allow God to process you through every stage so your becoming will be stable and God-approved. 
  3. CULTIVATE YOUR HEART/GARDEN: Get into good soil. Create an environment of prayer, Word, obedience, and the Spirit. Stop pursuing the butterfly — become the garden and the butterflies will come to you. 
  4. REJECT HASTE & COMPROMISE: Don’t break Kingdom principles to get results. Fruit without process has no peace. 
  5. PURPOSE TO FLOURISH: Be planted, not potted. Grow without limitations at any age so you can bear fruit, display glory, and reflect Jesus. 

God’s desire for you this month: To put an end to aimlessness, sweating, and struggling. To bring you into a season of GROWTH and FRUITFULNESS where you BUTTERFLY in grace — beautiful, stable, fruitful, and full of the aroma of Christ.

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER 2026: MONTH OF “GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE IN CHRIST JESUS!

“. . . 18 but grow [spiritually mature] in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18/Amplified. 

I specifically welcome you in the name of our good and faithful, true and sure God, to the month of SEPTEMBER of the Julian and Gregorian calendar twelve-month count, in the year 2026 of the Lord, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.  

The MONTH of SEPTEMBER 2026 is the month of GROWTH AND FRUITFULNESS; and it is entitled: GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST! This is about “Ensuring GROWTH & FRUITFULNESS In the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead”; and on this basis of growth and fruitfulness, I am referring firstly the earlier scripture of 2 Peter 3:18, and now recommending another for your perusal to get this month started on an onward and upward trajectory, in the scriptural context of Acts 20:32 as written: 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His GRACE is able to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32/Amplified. 

Picture this: a seed. A seed has potential. A seed of a plant has life in it, it has potential, it has the enabling and ability to BECOME a forest. But as long as it is not planted, it cannot GROW, and as such it has no value, even though it has a component of value. And for that seed to become a forest, it must be planted and be planted in good soil to grow and be fruitful. Being PLANTED ensures GROWTH and FRUITFULNESS, with good soil to enable it to FLOURISH. Recall I am saying PLANTED and not POTTED. For only those who are PLANTED that FLOURISH, unlike being POTTED – which is instability, limited, stunted and such like. Hence the scripture of Psalms 92:10-15, indicates that only the PLANTED respond to growth, and then flourish in FRUITFULNESS in the courts of our God, as written: 

“But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12 The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” [Rom 9:14] Psalms 92:10-12. 

When a tree is planted in a good soil, by reason of the scripture – the Bible scripture of Genesis 8:22, it thus say: “As long as the earth remains, saith the Lord, seedtime and harvest, autumn, winter, summer and spring will never pass by without each accomplishing their purpose of creation. It means that the conditions to make every seed become a forest are always available. It depends on whether that seed is planted to GROW in order to FLOURISH. 

If the seed is planted and it is not tempered with by external factors of religion, denominational spirit, man-made beliefs, then that seed has the potential to grow, and from that growth it will yield fruit. So in this month of September that is entitled “GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST”, know that you are God’s seed, and God has set you as a seed, and planted you in the world – otherwise the earth – for a purpose to accomplish in His name [Isaiah 45:11-13; Psalms 8:4-6]. This default of grace is irrespective and it is for all, especially those who are now born of God, in Christ Jesus’ stead, and it is not limited by geography, meaning by your location.  

If you can plant yourself in the WORD of GRACE and KNOWLEDGE in Christ Jesus’ stead, you will come to see how, by the Word of God, you will FLOURISH in the grace. For every condition about you to become what God wants you to be is available and within reach, so long as you do not grow by religion, denominational indoctrination, sectarianism, creed and bylaws, man-made traditions and perversions, and such like. 

So, in this Month of SEPTEMBER, in the year of the Lord, I want to gear you up by this my saying, as I have always challenged myself and others: WHY GO ABOUT PURSUING TO GET THE BUTTERFLY? WHY NOT CREATE A GARDEN BY YOUR PLANTING, AND THE BUTTERFLY WILL COME TO YOU TO BUTTER-FLY?  

Thus meaning: that earnest expectations you are running for and after, that you are dying for and after, that you are pursuing after – why not create a garden to bring such to you? In you is the fullness of God in Christ Jesus. In you is what it takes to be the champion, winner, overcomer, victorious, triumphant and a more than conqueror, in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead.  

A default of grace was imparted into you when you gave your life to Jesus. And when you look inward to develop it, to cultivate it, by growing in the grace and knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, you become what you might be pursuing to come to you from you. 

The Holy Writ, THE BIBLE says, paraphrased, “He that CULTIVATES his land, meaning he that tills his land shall never be hungry.” If you cultivate it, every condition for greatness will come out of it. So, instead of you running out, people will come to your domain to seek for what you have cultivated. Eventually you become life, and become an instrument of change for many lives. It’s time to stop running to catch a butterfly. Create your garden, the butterfly will come to you. Create the world, the atmosphere you want to see, in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Grow in grace, grow in knowledge, so that when the butterflies start coming, you have the capacity to accommodate and to be butterflying. And you will have the capacity to accommodate without being burnt out and worn out.  

As a living seed, you have to be planted to grow up in the grace and knowledge of Christ Jesus, so that you can FLOURISH in the courts of our God. Don’t be a potted plant, but be a planted plant. It is in your being planted that you can flourish to ensure God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS. This is the time of Growth [Growing], in the grace and knowledge in Christ Jesus, to live without limitations, and it is irrespective of all ages. Fruitfulness is for all to ensure through GROWING. Then your butterflies will come instead of you pursuing after the butterflies. 

You are truly WELCOME to the month of BUTTERFLYING in the grace, the Month of GROWTH and FRUITFULNESS, the Month of SEPTEMBER 2026 that is ENTITLED: “GROWING IN THE GRACE & KNOWLEDGE IN CHRIST!” 

Don’t go about anymore pursuing for the Butterfly, when you can cultivate [create and curate] your garden and grow your plant, your being in Christ Jesus, in the grace and knowledge of the Word by the Holy Spirit, and the butterflies will come to you THINK! 

This is your MONTH to CULTIVATE your garden to ensure you butterfly in life and grace. THINK! 

I pray you have understanding of this, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be diligent and make every effort to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. In which there are some things that are difficult to understand, which the untaught and unstable [who have fallen into error] twist and misinterpret, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of UNPRINCIPLED men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [SPIRITUALLY MATURE] IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18/Amplified. 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is able to BUILD YOU UP and to GIVE YOU the [rightful] inheritance among all those who are sanctified [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32/Amplified. 

“Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has given to us all things that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, ADD TO YOUR FAITH virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to KNOWLEDGE self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be NEITHER BARREN NOR UNFRUITFUL IN THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even MORE DILIGENT to make your call and election sure, for if you DO these things you will NEVER stumble; 11 for so an ENTRANCE will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1-11. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. 

“Hear the word of the Lord, You children of Israel, For the Lord brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “There is NO TRUTH OR MERCY OR KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 MY PEOPLE are DESTROYED for lack OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have FORGOTTEN the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:1, 6. 

“Therefore MY PEOPLE have gone into CAPTIVITY, Because they have NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15. 

“Now so it was that after three days they found Him [Jesus] in the temple, SITTING in the MIDST of the TEACHERS, both LISTENING to them and ASKING them questions . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE [PHYSIQUE], and in FAVOUR with God and men” Luke 2:46, 52. 

SUMMARY 

This message is a SEPTEMBER 2026 apostolic charge titled: “GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST” — a call to ensure GROWTH & FRUITFULNESS by being PLANTED in THE WORD OF GRACE, not chasing external things, but cultivating inwardly so that what you desire comes to you. 

KEY POINTS OF THE MESSAGE 

  1. The Theme and Scriptural Foundation
  • Month of September 2026 is declared as the MONTH OF GROWTH AND FRUITFULNESS, entitled “GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST” — 2 Peter 3:18 AMP. 
  • The foundation is Acts 20:32: THE WORD OF HIS GRACE is able to BUILD YOU UP and GIVE YOU INHERITANCE among the sanctified. 
  • Growth is not by effort alone, but by the default of grace imparted when you gave your life to Jesus. 
  1. The Seed Illustration: PLANTED vs POTTED
  • A seed has potential to become a forest, but only when PLANTED in good soil can it GROW and FLOURISH — Genesis 8:22. 
  • PLANTED = GROWTH & FRUITFULNESS. POTTED = instability, limited, stunted. 
  • Psalms 92:12-15 confirms: “The righteous will flourish like the date palm… Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God… still thrive and bear fruit in old age.” 
  • You are God’s seed, planted in the earth for a purpose — Isaiah 45:11-13; Psalms 8:4-6. The conditions for growth are always available. 
  1. The Danger of External Interference
  • Growth is hindered by religion, denominational spirit, sectarianism, creed, bylaws, man-made traditions and perversions. 
  • True growth comes by planting yourself in THE WORD OF GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE in Christ Jesus’ stead — free from geography, age, or limitation. 
  1. The Butterfly Principle: Stop Chasing, Start Cultivating
  • Core Challenge: “WHY GO ABOUT PURSUING TO GET THE BUTTERFLY? WHY NOT CREATE A GARDEN BY YOUR PLANTING, AND THE BUTTERFLY WILL COME TO YOU TO BUTTER-FLY?” 
  • Meaning: Stop pursuing the things you want. Cultivate your life in Christ and those things will be drawn to you. 
  • Proverbs 12:11 paraphrased: “He that CULTIVATES his land shall not lack.” 
  • When you grow in grace and knowledge, you become life and an instrument of change. People will come to your domain for what you have cultivated. 
  1. The Capacity to Accommodate
  • Grow in grace and knowledge so when “butterflies” come — opportunities, fruit, influence — you have capacity to accommodate without being burnt out and worn out. 
  • 2 Peter 1:5-8: Add to faith virtue, knowledge, self-control… “For if these things are yours and abound, you will be NEITHER BARREN NOR UNFRUITFUL IN THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 
  1. Supporting Scriptures on Knowledge
  • Matthew 22:29: Error comes from “not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the POWER of God”. 
  • Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13: “MY PEOPLE are DESTROYED for lack OF KNOWLEDGE… gone into CAPTIVITY, Because they have NO KNOWLEDGE.” 
  • Luke 2:46, 52: Jesus Himself INCREASED in WISDOM and stature. Growth is modelled by Christ. 
  1. Warning and Assurance — 2 Peter 3:14-18
  • Be diligent to be found spotless. Beware of ERROR of UNPRINCIPLED men who distort doctrine. 
  • Final charge: “but GROW [SPIRITUALLY MATURE] IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.”

  5. THINK! Pause. Apply the Word. Let it build you, establish you, and make you fruitful in God’s righteousness. 

Final Declaration: 
You are WELCOME to SEPTEMBER 2026 — the MONTH OF BUTTERFLYING, GROWTH and FRUITFULNESS. This is your MONTH to CULTIVATE your garden to ensure you butterfly in life and grace. Amen.

SEPTEMBER: The Month to SCRIPTURALLY – “ENACT YOUR REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS”! 

By Leave a Comment

SEPTEMBER: The Month to SCRIPTURALLY – “ENACT YOUR REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS”! 

The Month September to me is the month to SCRIPTURALLY “ENACT YOUR REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS”. This is to ACTUALISE into reality and tangibility, ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning you. 2 Peter 1:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 20, Ephesians 2:6. 

Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere is seasonal equivalent. 

 Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year. 

As Month September signals the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, there’s the need to authenticate, by enacting your REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus to ENSURE the reality and tangibility of the scriptures in you. For I am emboldened to announce and say to you, that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ UNTIL you ENACT – AUTHENTICATE it, into reality and tangibility, that is, cause them to BE into life reality SCRIPTURALLY. 

Make September your SCRIPTURAL Month to Enact your REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus in God’s BLESSEDNESS. 

 Month SEPTEMBER – ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, can be summed Scripturally in this wise:  

  • It reminds one of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith CHARACTER, BEHAVIOURAL and CONDUCT enabling. Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15. 
  • It reminds one of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIC life demands. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8. 
  • It thus means also a month of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILLING and MATURING since nine means perfection in a sense. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13. 

Therefore, in this Month September, know that you have All it takes to make BE. Make an intentional choice to ensure Scripturally, that the WORD of God works and is alive today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN UNTO US EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust“ 2 Peter 1:1-4. 

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to THE FAITHFUL in Christ Jesus: 2 grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO HATH BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having MADE KNOWN UNTO US the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also WE HAVE OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, BEING PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12.

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER: THE MONTH OF “THE SURE FOUNDATION” 

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER: THE MONTH OF “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!  

I sincerely and blessedly WELCOME you to the MONTH SEPTEMBER – the month to ENSURE that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – in Christ Jesus stead.  

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11. 

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified. 

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19. 

The Month SEPTEMBER should be the actualising months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY LIVING and BUILDING on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” that’s built upon – THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 3:11 (10-17); 2 Timothy 2:19 (19-21); 2 Peter 1:19 (19-21)]. The essence is for you to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH, wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

The FAITH of the believing one in Christ Jesus may go through a shaky, touching phase as anything under the Sun could be, but it CAN’T, and I repeat – it CAN’T be SHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED as some in many quarters have catapulted in their circles and Circus of the Christian FAITH to intimidate some; and this they do to those that are not SCRIPTURALLY knowledgeable and understandable of their place of rights and privileges in our sure REDEMPTION that is forever a done deed for them. The Believers in God in Christ Jesus need to know and understand that their foundation is an assured SURE FOUNDATION, that no forces on EARTH and beneath the earth can be able to go PARALLEL with and to even consider to SHAKEN nor DESTROY it as many have always tend to quote the Psalmist Scripture as written: 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3. 

The above SCRIPTURE in context is pertaining to a society whose foundation supposedly is destroyed and what role the RIGHTEOUS with THE SURE FOUNDATION stand of God in Christ Jesus should do to help restore the demographic changes of UNRIGHTEOUS causes that are individual or societal – which is, to the RIGHTEOUS cause of God, in Christ Jesus stead. For the unbelievers live and build on destructible foundation; and it’s the Believers in Christ Jesus stead that lives and builds on THE SURE FOUNDATION; And a righteous believer is on a mandatory watch of God as an heavenly ambassador and representative on earthly affairs, to play the role to bring back or restore broken and destructible foundation in an individual and societal demographic, to the supposedly righteous cause upon which the society can have an assured SURE FOUNDATION. Thus, indicating that an individual and societal demographic may CHANGE as it’s unstable and it’s shakeable, but it takes the righteous’ SURE FOUNDATION that’s unshaken and indestructible, to bring the society to a righteous cause with God. 

The month September, therefore, should be the beginning of months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus stead. This is the only grandstand if you are to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace. This is also to ACTUALISE reality and tangibility, ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning the assured SURE FOUNDATION Believers. 2 Peter 1:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 20, Ephesians 2:6. 

The Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere is seasonal equivalent. The Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere is usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year. 

As Month September signals the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, there’s the need to SCRIPTURALLY ensure, enact and authenticate that you are living and building your FAITH – rooted and grounded on – THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus. For I am emboldened to announce and say to you – that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ UNTIL you – SCRIPTURALLY ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE it, into reality and tangibility; that is, to cause them to BECOME a living life reality SCRIPTURALLY. 

Make Month September your SCRIPTURAL Month to be solidly rooted, grounded and built up on the ROCK which is Christ Jesus – THE SURE FOUNDATION, and not on the SAND that’s sinkable, destructible, shakeable and untenable. Matthew 7:24-27. 

The Month SEPTEMBER – the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, can be summed up Scripturally in this wise to authenticate our SURE FOUNDATION grandstands:  

  • It reminds one of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith CHARACTER, BEHAVIOURAL and CONDUCT enabling. Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15. 
  • It reminds one of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIC life demands. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8. 
  • The ninth month SIGNIFIES the complete time of human GESTATION – complete time of BIRTHING a new life, a time to expect DELIVERIES; and since NINE means PERFECTION in a sense, it thus means in essence, a month of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILLING and MATURING. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13. 

Therefore, in this Month September, know that you have All it takes to make BECOME in Christ Jesus because we’ve being given the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to remain unshakeable and indestructible in all of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

Therefore, make an intentional and conscious choice to ensure Scripturally, that the WORD of God works and is alive today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow as you live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Amen. 

Have an awesome and amazing month of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3. 

“According to the grace of God, which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27. 

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5. 

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12. 

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: MONTH OF LIVING AND BUILDING ON –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLD’S (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [FORMED, put in ORDER, and EQUIPPED for their intended PURPOSE] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Psalms 11:3/Amplified.

The neglect to the foundation of anything will cause harmful effects in any intended built up on that foundation. The Father God in laying the foundation of the earth and the built-up of the world in it for the humans and all created things, did ensured, that the foundation is without questions. He did ensured and assured Himself that the architectural and structural design could and would withstand the heavy load of the billions of human factors and activities that will be done on it as written in Psalm 24:1-5 and Isaiah 45:11-12; Revelation 4:11; Hebrews 11:3. And there is a great lesson to starts from the known of God to the unknown if we follow the principles of His as found in the Holy writ.

I have as well as you might have studied yet studying, to know, and grown yet growing, to say, that I have seen natural and human and spiritual devastations in different sphere of humanity; I have seen structural buildings of many sorts – both small and great – been subjected to rubble; and the result of any devastating happenings is always relatively costly to both the human, natural and spiritual caused conditions.

And I have as well as you might have – seen, read, observed and watched lost of individual and public Properties of various segments cutting across and not limited: Agricultural lands, Business’s, Ministries/Church buildings, Governments Offices, Non-governmental parastatals places, Families and Individual residences and such like. And in all situations and circumstances, it’s always a very deep hearted feelings, touching and heartbreaking for any to go through the metamorphosis of change at various segments – especially in a helpless situations to awaits the worst of both ends of the lost of life’s, livelihoods and properties.

And in some cases, the devastations are really very very bad and beyond comprehension of the human lost and financial costs and spiritual costs and more, to those affected respectively.  As I prepared to write this, and recalling while flipping through the various accessible multimedia channels not long ago, I could see devastations of human life’s, livelihoods and properties and such like in various nations of the world. The effects of the weather impact in those places and some especially, are seriously a cause for tears, pains, and hurts unimaginable. While some could be natural, others are of human negligence over time by those who ought to have put in place some well-thought-of foundation that could have withstood the tests of time but has failed to see reasons to get things done as expected.

Some of these devastations are caused by natural causes, but most of the time, human creations and causes have been undermined, especially in places that ought to have been subjected and scrutinised to the proper standards of settings and principles. However, they have been overlooked and given free leverage, thereby resulting in the overwhelming costs of life, livelihoods, properties, finance, and such.

Now, flipping from the natural and human devastations to spiritually devastating state, you will find out that the spiritually devastating state is more shocking considering the deception, delusional, indoctrination, adulteration, perversion and falsehoods, and Man-made effect on people. Worst still is when you consider many of some so called Christians or followers of Jesus Christ or Believers answering to the Faith in Christ Jesus, who are without the basic foundation or foundational knowledge and understanding of the Faith they have alleged to belong, except to their denominational doctrinal settings – creeds, bylaws, traditional dogmas and such like. Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Acts 8:9-24.

While many have sincerely given their lives to God in Christ Jesus and have resolved to both believe and follow Christ Jesus as their foundation – there are others, that have found themselves knowingly and or unknowingly on a wrongly laid FOUNDATION – especially in some places of worship; and there are others on the other hand, who have blindly followed the blind, swayed away from the TRUTH in their faith foundation of the Gospel; and in each case, many are thereby not only wrongly founded but are as such building wrongly on the same foundation that’s wrongly laid. 1 Corinthians 3:1-17; 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

And it’s partly upon the above paragraph concerns, that the theme of September 2023 comes to play as to the how to help some if not all to the place of living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus; and this is to give the essence of the light out of darkness, into the full knowledge of God in the face of Christ Jesus as written:

“For God, who said, “Let LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to GIVE us the Light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ . . . 13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had, who wrote in Scripture, “I believed, therefore I spoke.” We also believe, therefore we also speak, 14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and will present us [along] with you in His presence” 2 Corinthians 4:6, 13-14/Amplified.

And laying the foundation of one’s FAITH on the ROCK and building and living on that same ROCK, which is Jesus Christ, the foundation and the builder of His Church, is God’s expectations from us if we must THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus; and to save us from living and building on a life of SURVIVAL while we yet acclaimed to be God’s own in every sense. Matthew 7:24-27.

Our Father God in His eternal plan laid the unshaken and indestructible foundation of our FAITH while in His set plans for human REDEMPTION in His Son Jesus Christ. This He did, long before the formation and foundation of the world the scripture says – thus indicating that the world in God’s plan has FOUNDATION to keep it stable for the purpose – [ Revelation 3:8; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Hebrews 9:26; Ephesians 1:4 (3-12); John 17:24].

I will be taking time to expatiate in segments upon segments, in the course of the month, on what it means to live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is of God in Christ Jesus, so that you and I can enjoy the fulness and fulfilling life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have THE TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for THE TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: THE MONTH OF “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

I sincerely and blessedly WELCOME you to the MONTH SEPTEMBER – the month to ENSURE that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – in Christ Jesus stead.

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11.

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19.

The Month SEPTEMBER 2023, should be the actualising months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY LIVING and BUILDING on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” that’s built upon – THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 3:11 (10-17); 2 Timothy 2:19 (19-21); 2 Peter 1:19 (19-21)]. The essence is for you to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH, wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

The FAITH of the believing one in Christ Jesus may go through a shaking touching phase as anything under the Sun could be, but it CAN’T, and I repeat – it CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED as some in many quarters have catapulted in their circles and Circus of the Christian FAITH to intimidate some; and this they do to those that are not SCRIPTURALLY knowledgeable and understandable of their place of rights and privileges in our sure REDEMPTION that is forever a done deed for them. The Believer’s in God in Christ Jesus need to know and understand that their foundation is an assured SURE FOUNDATION, that no forces on EARTH and beneath the earth can be able to PARALLEL with it and to even consider to UNSHAKEN nor DESTROY it as many have always tend to quote the Psalmist Scripture as written:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3.

The above SCRIPTURE in context is pertaining to a society whose foundation supposedly is destroyed and what role the RIGHTEOUS with THE SURE FOUNDATION stand of God in Christ Jesus should do to help restore the demographic changes of UNRIGHTEOUS causes that individual or society – which is, to the RIGHTEOUS cause of God, in Christ Jesus stead. For the unbeliever’s lives and builds on destructible foundation; and it’s the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead that lives and builds on THE SURE FOUNDATION; And righteous believer is on a mandatory watch of God as an heavenly ambassador and representative on earthly affairs, to play the role to bring back or restore broken and destructible foundation in an individual and societal demographics, to the supposedly righteous cause upon which the society can have an assured SURE FOUNDATION. Thus indicating that an individual and societal demographics may CHANGE as it’s unstable and it’s shakeable, but it takes the righteous SURE FOUNDATION that’s unshaken and indestructible, to bring the society to a righteous cause with God.

The month September to me therefore, should be the beginning of months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus stead. This is the only grandstands if you are to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace. This is also to ACTUALISE into reality and tangibility, ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning the assured SURE FOUNDATION Believer’s. 2 Peter 1:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 20, Ephesians 2:6.

The Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere are seasonal equivalent. The Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere is usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year.

As Month September signals the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, there’s the need to SCRIPTURALLY ensure, enact and authenticate that you are living and building your FAITH – rooted and grounded on – THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus. For I am emboldened to announce and say to you – that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ UNTIL you – SCRIPTURALLY ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE it, into reality and tangibility; that is, to cause them to BECOME a living life reality SCRIPTURALLY. Make Month September your SCRIPTURAL Month to be solidly rooted, grounded and built up on the ROCK which is Christ Jesus – THE SURE FOUNDATION, and not on the SAND that’s sinkable, destructible, shakeable and untenable. Matthew 7:24-27.

The Month SEPTEMBER – the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, can be summed up Scripturally in this wise to authenticate our SURE FOUNDATION grandstands:

* It reminds one of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith CHARACTER, BEHAVIOURAL and CONDUCT enabling. Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15.

*It reminds one of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIC life demands. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8.

** The ninth month SIGNIFIES the complete of human GESTATION – complete time of BIRTHING a new life, a time to expect DELIVERIES; and since NINE means PERFECTION in a sense, it thus means in essence, a month of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILLING and MATURING. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13.

Therefore, in this Month September, know that you have All it takes to make BECOME in Christ Jesus because we’ve being given the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to remain unshakeable and indestructible in all of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Therefore, make an intentional and conscious choice to ensure Scripturally, that the WORD of God works and it’s alive today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow as you live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Amen.

Have an awesome and amazing month of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: MONTH OF LIVING AND BUILDING ON –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLD’S (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [FORMED, put in ORDER, and EQUIPPED for their intended PURPOSE] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Psalms 11:3/Amplified.

The neglect to the foundation of anything will cause harmful effects in any intended built up on that foundation. The Father God in laying the foundation of the earth and the built-up of the world in it for the humans and all created things, did ensured, that the foundation is without questions. He did ensured and assured Himself that the architectural and structural design could and would withstand the heavy load of the billions of human factors and activities that will be done on it as written in Psalm 24:1-5 and Isaiah 45:11-12; Revelation 4:11; Hebrews 11:3. And there is a great lesson to starts from the known of God to the unknown if we follow the principles of His as found in the Holy writ.

I have as well as you might have studied yet studying, to know, and grown yet growing, to say, that I have seen natural and human and spiritual devastations in different sphere of humanity; I have seen structural buildings of many sorts – both small and great – been subjected to rubble; and the result of any devastating happenings is always relatively costly to both the human, natural and spiritual caused conditions.

And I have as well as you might have – seen, read, observed and watched lost of individual and public Properties of various segments cutting across and not limited: Agricultural lands, Business’s, Ministries/Church buildings, Governments Offices, Non-governmental parastatals places, Families and Individual residences and such like. And in all situations and circumstances, it’s always a very deep hearted feelings, touching and heartbreaking for any to go through the metamorphosis of change at various segments – especially in a helpless situations to awaits the worst of both ends of the lost of life’s, livelihoods and properties.

And in some cases, the devastations are really very very bad and beyond comprehension of the human lost and financial costs and spiritual costs and more, to those affected respectively.  As I prepared to write this, and recalling while flipping through the various accessible multimedia channels not long ago, I could see devastations of human life’s, livelihoods and properties and such like in various nations of the world. The effects of the weather impact in those places and some especially, are seriously a cause for tears, pains and hurts and unimaginable. While some could be natural, others are of human negligence overtime by those that ought to have put in place some well thought of foundation that could have withstands the tests of time but have failed to see reasons to get things done as would have been expected.

Why some of these devastations are of natural causes, but in most of the time, there are human creations and causes that have been undermined especially in places that ought to have been subjected and scrutinised to the proper standards of settings and principles but have been overlooked and given a free leverage thereby resulting the overwhelming costs of life’s, livelihoods, properties, finance and such like, to be incurred.

Now, flipping from the natural and human devastations to spiritual devastating state, you will found out that the spiritual devastating state is more shocking considering the deception, delusional, indoctrination, adulteration, perversion and falsehoods and Man-made effect on people. Worst still is when you consider many of some so called Christians or followers of Jesus Christ or Believers answering to the Faith in Christ Jesus, who are without the basic foundation or foundational knowledge and understanding of the Faith they have alleged to belong, except to their denominational doctrinal settings – creeds, bylaws, traditional dogmas and such like. Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Acts 8:9-24.

While many have sincerely given their life’s to God in Christ Jesus and have resolved to both believe and follow Christ Jesus as their foundation – there are others, that have found themselves knowingly and or unknowingly on a wrongly laid FOUNDATION – especially in some places of worship; and there are others on the other hand, who have blindly followed the blind, swayed away from the TRUTH in their faith foundation of the Gospel; and in each cases, many are thereby not only wrongly founded but are as such building wrongly on the same  foundation that’s wrongly laid. 1 Corinthians 3:1-17; 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

And it’s partly upon the above paragraph concerns, that the theme of September 2023 comes to play as to the how to help some if not all to the place of living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus;  and this is to give the essence of the light out of darkness, into the full knowledge of God in the face of Christ Jesus as written:

“For God, who said, “Let LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to GIVE us the Light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ . . . 13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had, who wrote in Scripture, “I believed, therefore I spoke.” We also believe, therefore we also speak, 14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and will present us [along] with you in His presence” 2 Corinthians 4:6, 13-14/Amplified.

And laying the foundation of one’s FAITH on the ROCK and building and living on that same ROCK, which is Jesus Christ, the foundation and the builder of His Church, is God’s expectations from us if we must THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus; and to save us from living and building on a life of SURVIVAL while we yet acclaimed to be God’s own in every sense. Matthew 7:24-27.

Our Father God in His eternal plan laid the unshaken and indestructible foundation  of our FAITH while in His set plans for human REDEMPTION in His Son Jesus Christ. This He did, long before the formation and foundation of the world the scripture says – thus indicating that the world in God’s plan has FOUNDATION to keep it stable for the purpose – [ Revelation 3:8; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Hebrews 9:26; Ephesians 1:4 (3-12); John 17:24].

I will be taking time to expatiate in segments upon segments, in the course of the month, on what it means to live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is of God in Christ Jesus, so that you and I can enjoy the fulness and fulfilling life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have THE TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for THE TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

THE MONTH SEPTEMBER 2022 THEME

By Leave a Comment

THE MONTH SEPTEMBER 2022 THEME: THE MONTH TO SCRIPTURALLY –  “ENACT YOUR REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS” – TO AUTHENTICATE YOUR BLESSEDNESS IN HIM!

The Month September is set for me to you as the month to SCRIPTURALLY “ENACT YOUR REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS”. This is in order to ACTUALISE into reality and tangibility, ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning you in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Peter 1:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 20, Ephesians 2:6.

Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars, the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere are seasonal equivalent.

Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year.

As Month September signals the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, there’s the need to authenticate, by enacting your REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus in order to ENSURE the reality and tangibility of the scriptures in you. For I am emboldened to announce and say to you, that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ UNTIL you ENACT, that is, you AUTHENTICATE it, into reality and tangibility, meaning to CAUSE them to BE SCRIPTURALLY into life reality and tangibility and not religiously and Man made make belief.

Make September your SCRIPTURAL Month to Enact your REDEMPTIVE RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Month SEPTEMBER – ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, can be sum Scripturally in this wise:

* It reminds one of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith CHARACTER, BEHAVIOURAL and CONDUCT enabling. Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15.

*It reminds one of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIC life demands. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8.

** The number Nine (9) thus makes it means also a month of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILLING and MATURING since nine means perfection in a sense. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13.

Therefore, in this Month September, know that you have All it takes to make BE. Make an intentional and deliberate choice to ensure SCRIPTURALLY, that the WORD of God works and it’s alive in you today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow, just as it’s written in Christ Jesus stead – “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

May you in this Month September, as you authenticate by ENACTING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS, may you begin to sing a New Song of GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS, just as Christ Jesus was noted with GRACIOUS WORDS, in order to authenticate God’s BLESSEDNESS in you, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN UNTO US EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to THE FAITHFUL in Christ Jesus: 2 grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO HATH BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having MADE KNOWN UNTO US the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also WE HAVE OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, BEING PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12.

“And all bare him witness and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTh. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

“And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the earth . . .12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.

AFD SEPTEMBER 2023 EDITION

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: THE MONTH OF “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

I sincerely and blessedly WELCOME you to the MONTH SEPTEMBER – the month to ENSURE that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – in Christ Jesus stead.

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11.

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19.

The Month SEPTEMBER 2023, should be the actualising months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY LIVING and BUILDING on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” that’s built upon – THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 3:11 (10-17); 2 Timothy 2:19 (19-21); 2 Peter 1:19 (19-21)]. The essence is for you to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH, wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

The FAITH of the believing one in Christ Jesus may go through a shaking touching phase as anything under the Sun could be, but it CAN’T, and I repeat – it CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED as some in many quarters have catapulted in their circles and Circus of the Christian FAITH to intimidate some; and this they do to those that are not SCRIPTURALLY knowledgeable and understandable of their place of rights and privileges in our sure REDEMPTION that is forever a done deed for them. The Believer’s in God in Christ Jesus need to know and understand that their foundation is an assured SURE FOUNDATION, that no forces on EARTH and beneath the earth can be able to PARALLEL with it and to even consider to UNSHAKEN nor DESTROY it as many have always tend to quote the Psalmist Scripture as written:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3.

The above SCRIPTURE in context is pertaining to a society whose foundation supposedly is destroyed and what role the RIGHTEOUS with THE SURE FOUNDATION stand of God in Christ Jesus should do to help restore the demographic changes of UNRIGHTEOUS causes  that individual or society – which is, to the RIGHTEOUS cause of God, in Christ Jesus stead. For the unbeliever’s lives and builds on destructible foundation; and it’s the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead that lives and builds on THE SURE FOUNDATION; And righteous believer is on a mandatory watch of God as an heavenly ambassador and representative on earthly affairs, to play the role to bring back or restore broken and destructible foundation in an individual and societal demographics, to the supposedly righteous cause upon which the society can have an assured SURE FOUNDATION. Thus indicating that an individual and societal demographics may CHANGE as it’s unstable and it’s shakable, but it takes the righteous SURE FOUNDATION that’s unshaken and indestructible, to bring the society to a righteous cause with God.

The month September to me therefore, should be the beginning of months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus stead. This is the only grandstands if you are to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace. This is also in order to ACTUALISE into reality and tangibility, ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning the assured SURE FOUNDATION Believer’s. 2 Peter 1:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 20, Ephesians 2:6.

The Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere are seasonal equivalent. The Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere is usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year.

As Month September signals the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, there’s the need to SCRIPTURALLY ensure, enact and authenticate that you are living and building your FAITH – rooted and grounded on – THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus. For I am emboldened to announce and say to you – that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ UNTIL you – SCRIPTURALLY ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE it, into reality and tangibility; that is, to cause them to BECOME a living life reality SCRIPTURALLY. Make Month September your SCRIPTURAL Month to be solidly rooted , grounded and built up on the ROCK which is Christ Jesus – THE SURE FOUNDATION, and not on the SAND that’s sinkable, destructible, shakable and untenable. Matthew 7:24-27.

The Month SEPTEMBER – the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, can be summed up Scripturally in this wise to authenticate our SURE FOUNDATION grandstands:

* It reminds one of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith CHARACTER, BEHAVIOURAL and CONDUCT enabling. Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15.

*It reminds one of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIC life demands. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8.

** The ninth month SIGNIFIES the complete of human GESTATION – complete time of BIRTHING a new life, a time to expect DELIVERIES; and since NINE means PERFECTION in a sense, it thus means in essence, a month of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILLING and MATURING. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13.

Therefore, in this Month September, know that you have All it takes to make BECOME in Christ Jesus because we’ve being given the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to remain unshakeable and indestructible in all of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Therefore, make an intentional and conscious choice to ensure Scripturally, that the WORD of God works and it’s alive today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow as you live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Amen.

Have an awesome and amazing month of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.
