We thank God for our visitors and for all the testimonies. I believe that if you do not have a testimony today, you will have one tomorrow or next week. We are in a journey of faith and we need to believe afresh each day. If you do not have a testimony today, believe that you shall have one tomorrow; do not give up. God is not limited by time; we are the ones who are limited by time.

He himself controls time. He can decide to do anything at anytime. He is not a son of man to lie. We also need to get people in our lives that shall continually encourage us and not have friends that put us down. This is one of the reasons Jesus sent two/two to preach. He knew that at some point one would feel discouraged and would need another to lift him up. Do not give up and believe in failure. If you are feeling discouraged now, may God send you an encourager to lift you up so that you enjoy the Christian walk.

 
The month of acceptance; last Friday I told you that acceptance does not come without rejection. So this time of acceptance does not mean that you shall not find resistances. But the anointing in the word of the Lord of acceptance is a lot stronger. It is going to put out every rejection; every resistance in your life because that is the word of the month. So whatever you are going through now in your life, have it at the back of your mind that ‘I am victorious, I am accepted’. Reject all negativity. That is what we believe in this moth of October.I also shared with you about prayer last Friday. We need to spend more time in His presence in as the first way to receive the acceptance of promised by the Lord. It is not a time of spiritual warfare but thanksgiving. Thanking Him in advance is a sign of faith, knowing that He has answered you already. Waiting for something to happen and thanking is not a sign of unbelief. God challenges all of us to thank Him in advance. Do not look at the mountain, debts or problems but look unto God. Look unto Him that says the silver and gold is mine. Look unto Him as the one to solve all your debts.

So number two (2) to receive our acceptance we need to do what is right before God. In this season we need to be careful. Do what is right before God and before man. Some people do not care what they do to man as long as they are right with God. But one of the Apostles, John, mentioned that you cannot claim to love God when you do not love your neighbor. You cannot love God that you have never seen when you hate your brother that you see. You need to love your brother and be right before God and man. Jesus received favor before God and man. People loved Him. The Pharisees had a problem with him and they tried to be against him but crowds followed him that even the disciples of John left John and followed Jesus. He found favor before man. That is why every Man of God today needs to find favor before man. You may not like a certain Minister today but when people love him and listen to him gladly. May be some of you need this kind of favor this month; that even all that had rejected you accept you again. Jesus grew in favor before God and man and we too need to grow.
The bible says in Proverbs 21:3 – doing righteousness and justice is more acceptable to God than sacrifice.

This month of October let us do right. Let us be fair to our brothers and sisters; that I righteousness. Why is it better than sacrifice? Some people think that when they make a sacrifice, giving money and offering they have won favor before Him. But Paul (1 Corinthians 13) teaches that there is a possibility of giving without love and it is nothing. You can bless someone when it is not from your heart but it is not a blessing. You may be giving out of sympathy or because the preacher has asked us to. We need to allow the love of God to control our giving so that we give from the heart. True love comes from what the Lord speaks to your heart and then you do what He tells you to do. Everything we do, if we want to see fruits, it should come from our hearts. That is why even when you do not see results you are not troubled because you did it from your heart and were not coerced. Those that complain all the time are those that were forced to do something. Even when you minister to please people, at some point in time you shall leave because you’ll begin to ask yourself what you are gaining from it. You shall move to a place that profits you.

But if you do it because the Lord spoke to your heart and you felt a conviction, you shall serve with a joyful heart. And the Lord’s face at the appointed time shall shine on you with uncommon favor in the name of Jesus Christ. Righteousness and justice are more acceptable – this means that they are more pleasing before God. You do not come to Eagles Wings to see the man of God. You come for the love of God who is representing God through his works and ministry. The man of God shall not give you anything, it is God who shall bless you through the man of God. Some people believe that they are God. However they too pray and believe God for better things in life. God on the other hand does not ask or pray, He commands. Jesus said, without me you can do nothing. Once you distance yourself from Him and become independent, that is the first step to your failure. We need God on a daily basis because without Him we are nothing.
The word justice means being understanding and fair. This month be fair to your friends. Do not be self centered. Do not point fingers at others. Matthew 7:12 says do unto others as you want to be done to you for this is the law and the prophets. This is something many of us have forgotten, we are not mindful of others but full of ourselves. We need to consider others. Surely none of us wants to be abused, discussed – why then do we do to others. This month of October be careful that you sow because very soon you shall harvest.

If you sow backbiting it will come back to you. Do to others what you want them to do to you. If you want people to give, are you giving? If you are a man or woman of God, honor each others’ ministries. A time will come when you too shall be honored. Rejoice with those that are testifying about a wedding but if you are bitter, you are already sowing a seed. This month we need to be very careful. Do what is right and the month of acceptance will be fruitful for you. Some of you receive dreams of warning but do not heed to them. Dreams that come from the Lord are always talking about the future that is why it is important to always seek interpretation. Take heed and do what is right and you shall see the harvest. If you want to receive good, do good unto others. We need to go beyond our very needs and look at the needs of others. That is a true heart. See yourself settling someone else’s needs and God shall turn to you. God created us to be a true demonstration of His love to people. God can use you to demonstrate His Love to someone. That is why God says that seek first the Kingdom of heaven and all the rest will follow you.

Romans 14:8 – he who serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. This month I want you to ask yourself if you are standing in your true calling. You may waste a lot of time when you are not in your true calling. God is calling you to reposition yourself. Ask yourself if what you are doing is what the Lord wants you to do. Is that business the one the Lord asked you to do? This goes to the gifting, anointing and calling. Now some of you thing that when we talk of the calling we refer only to the spiritual one – preaching and ministering. This however is not the case. Your work is also your calling so you could be misplaced in your work. God is calling you to check yourself. That work is your ministry; you minister in the market place. So ask yourself if you are in the right place. Are you in the right church? God has made a ministry where each of us will receive our blessing. That is why I always tell you to remember the man or woman of God that has blessed you. Do not forget them when your prayer is answered. Keep the connection and in doing that you shall keep the blessing of the anointing coming to you. Samuel the prophet was favored by God and by men. A verse says that the Lord was with Samuel and did not let any of his words fall to the ground and Samuel was established by as a prophet. This month do right things and do not be influenced by a neighbor or friends or spouse. Just do the right thing. If there is someone you wronged ask for forgiveness and start afresh. This is a month of action. It is a month of changing stone hearts. You shall then see acceptance, you shall see restoration, and you shall be called queen.

Phil 4:18-20 – Paul had received an acceptable offering with a sweet smelling aroma. This means that not all sacrifices are acceptable to the Lord. For instance if you take the balance from tomato purchases, it may not be acceptable to the Lord. You have a lot more but you give the balance. That is why God accepted Abel’s sacrifice more than Cain’s. Abel gave from his heart and was blessed even more. Cain was furious and killed the brother. Some of us have Cains in our lives who destroy us when we achieve. Beware of them. Give an acceptable sacrifice. Bless someone because love to. Let there be no limitation in what we give, we refuse it in the name of the Lord. So let your offering be sweet and pleasing to the Lord. Paul also said that not that I was in lack but for your own good. That means giving is not because the pastor is broke or in lack, but it is for your own good. When you receive him and bless him for the work he is doing, the Lord shall bless you. Bless that pastor, evangelist or Bible teacher; do not get tired. The Lord shall remember you. I do not distance myself from people because of a certain weakness. As long as I know that here is something that I receive from them spiritually, I continue to bless them and be in their presence because I know what I want. And in doing all this God shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus (verse 19). This is after giving a pleasing surprise. I know a brother who visits his ATM every Sunday and asks the Lord to guide him on how to give – he is very blessed. He does not program himself. May God give us such a selfless heart.

Hebrews 11:4 – Abel by faith. When you give there are three things: hear from God, do it out of love (from your heart) and give by faith. Do not do it because you know what you shall receive. Do it out of faith – that is how Abel pleased God. Abraham was ready to sacrifice Isaac because he knew that God would give him another son. He had faith and that is why he became the father of all believers. He obeyed the voice of God. It is time to act. Do what you have never done. This month of October is a month of action – do unto others what you want them to do to you.

Prophecy

No debts in the name of Jesus, you are debt free. All pain is lifted from your body. I claim the healing for the children of God. I refuse the rejection upon your children in the name of Jesus. The presence of the Lord is in this place. I see Him in this place, touching people. Some people are receiving divine visitations from the Lord. From this day onwards, delays have come to an end. There is a quickening from today because of Him. Thank you Jesus. He is in our midst and He says all things are new. Whatever was scattered says the Lord, whatever the enemy had stolen from you is restored; it comes back to you. The Lord says all things are new.
