GENESIS BY AWE HILARY




In the beginning (Genesis 1:1), where the first words recorded in the bible, and today we wake up to that reality, as we are made witnesses to the first day of the year 2018,which marks the beginning of the year. The word “beginning” is very important, because it is always associated with the foundation of things, as this referenced the laying of the foundations of heaven and earth by God.

Foundations are underlying structures on which “building blocks” are laid, and these go a long way to determine the durability and life span of the finished product. The same can also be said about humans, as there is no single person without a foundation, and this is reflective of the scripture that says “if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” PSALM 11:3 (NKJV).

Man is a “spiritual house” ( 1 peter 2:4-5) with a different kind of foundation which is contrary to the physical structures that we see around us. In the word of spirituality where man is a major player, words and actions are erectors of foundations. God has endowed and empowered man with an oratory ability that can call forth life, and at the same time kill, for the bible establishes this fact in the book of Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits” (NKJV). This means that when you speak life, you will eat the fruits of life, but when your speech is contrary to life, death becomes a possession and an inheritance.  

 I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that death shall never be your portion in the new year, Amen.

God created the heavens and the earth, not by hands but through spoken words (Psalm 33:6), and He saw the creations of His mouth, for they were good. In the same vein, man has the capacity to speak his future into existence, because he was created in the image of God (Gen 1:27). However, it is pertinent to note that, we carry our futures in our mouth, and whatever we create of that future through our words, we shall partake of it in full measure. In view of this, we should at all times be clothed with our “prophetic garments” while maximizing our oratory capacity in creating how we want the year to be for us, by speaking into existence our dreams and aspirations while rebuking and obliterating from existence things and activities contrary to God’s plan for us.

Moreover, foundations are also built by a person’s action which is supervised by a will, and every will outside God, leads to a sinful action which is reflective of the content of the heart. Man was not created to be a robot, but he was given a will by God to make choices between a foundation of life or death, and as a result he is liable for every action he takes. Every action that leads to sin is a rejection of Jesus Christ who is the cornerstone of our foundation, and such foundations cannot stand the test of time, because without the corner stone, the laborers labor in vain. If you are desirous of having a solid foundation that cannot be moved by the tidal winds of life in this New Year and beyond, then it is imperative that you make Jesus Christ the cornerstone of your life by rejecting Satan and all his works.

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”- MATHEW 7:24-27 (NKJV).

However, as the new year begins today, while we wait patiently for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is indeed very near, foundations will be tested, and only those built upon the Rock of Ages will survive the test. (Mathew 7:24-27).

The MESSENGER encourages you to create a beautiful future for yourself in the year 2018 and beyond, by making positive confessions, proclamations, and also taking positive actions in line with the promises of God.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Story of how LESTER SUMRALL met with HOWARD CARTER

LESTER Sumrall was a 20th century giant of faith, and worldwide missionary statesman, who demonstrated the power of the gospel in his pastoral and evangelical ministry. He also had a personal relationship with Smith Wigglesworth. And travelled widely with Howard Carter. This, culled from Dr. Sumrall's 'Pioneers of Faith', is the story of how he met Mr. Carter. It was 1932. Brother Lester was 19, and brother Howard was 41: I was sitting in a little church in Tennessee looking at the young man who was leading the music. Suddenly, the scene before me vanished, and I saw thousands of Japanese, Chinese, Lndians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Africans, Latin Americans, Europeans and people from the ocean islands on one road going one direction ...Trembling and crying, I asked, "What shall I do?" God said, "You have to go to these people." I said, "I don't like those people. I have never seen a Japanese person in my life. I don't know tho...

THE OLD CONVENANT IS A SHADOW OF THE NEW CONVENANT [pt 4] - Min. Awe Hilary

It is an interesting fact to know that 99.99% of most religions practiced today are imitations of either the Mosaic law as given to the Jews by God or idolatry as invented by men through the interface of spiritual entities as a way of worship. Idol worship and the Mosaic law are the oldest well known religious institutions that have existed on the earth. The Mosaic law which is the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant which could not come into effect as long as the law was still in place. Hebrews 9:8 [AMP]: By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the Holy Place [the true Holy of Holies and the presence of God] has not yet been disclosed as long as the first or outer tabernacle is still standing [that is, as long as the Levitical system of worship remains a recognized institution]. More also, if the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant, then it signifies that they both have One Spirit [The Spirit of God], same pattern with different realities but one purp...
