Delivered by Rita Chinemerem Umeh at Christ For The World Network Christmas Encounter held at Ogba Zoological Garden, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria on December 25, 2021.

Most believers think and act in a way that knowing God alone should be the only productive aspect of life, whereas it ought to be the other way round that knowing God for yourself should perfect every other areas of your life. Life in it’s entirety is deceptively short, so at all times we have to run away from false living to perfect our purpose for God’s kingdom. Just living as a sincere Christian will not be enough requirement for the years to come. Even the devil strategize too. But we are more privileged because God has not left us in the dark. The devil does not have access to the Grace of Mercy nor does the place of the prophetic work for him. If we must journey on in this dark days we must be obedient to God’s word and set our pride aside. Life is measured in Time and Time is measured in productivity or unproductivity. The work you do today will definitely speak for you tomorrow.

What Is Productivity
In it’s basic form, it has been seen as the quality, state or fact of being able to generate, create enhance or bring forth goods and services. It is also the state of being productive. To be productive is to be engaged in activities that will yield to a greater input spiritualwise, financialwise, healthwise relationallywise and otherwise. Increase only comes on the outburst of being productive.

The Key Factors to attain a productive life.
The God Factor. As believers we all generally know and are aware of our Father’s unconditional love for us but the intensity of our love for him can only be known and judged by us. As difficult as it is Abraham left his home country because God told him to, he wasn’t just being obedient because he feared God, he did so because he respected God’s authority and he loved him. Never joke with your prayer life, word study life, tarrying room and every other spiritual backup plan. They always have the tendency to keep you in check and in the right plan for your life. Gen 12.
Intentionality. This is the negation of shadowboxing. The devil enjoys it when people walk out of the purpose of God for their lives. Being busy, but busy doing nothing. You have to start living life intentionally, don’t allow people toss you up and down. As a believer you have to learn hear not to live out your potential but God’s purpose for you and be intentional about it. This is the place of planning and strategizing. That God blessed Abraham does not mean he was walking aimlessly before God called him, God’s mercy met with his hand work and the blessing was visible in his life.
Focus: Focus helps us sustain intentionality. Having a good foresight is beautiful but securing it and making sure it sees the light of the day requires intent focus.
Wisdom: wisdom is act of being wise. It is doing that which is right rightfully. That is, acting in such a way that breeds results, Godly and positive results. Wisdom is a gift, it is a dimension. Our dearly revered mentor King Solomon operated on this dimension and dedicated The entire book of Proverbs to this effect. The wisdom of God which he operated in is the highest and most rewarding of all kinds of wisdom. It can also be accessed when you pray for it. Without wisdom one may have a half-baked productive life.

Factors That Destroy Productivity
Procrastination
Excessive sleep
Wrong company
Unhealthy comparison
Disalignment from God’s word
Cultural worldviews
Laziness.

The Rewards of a Productive Life style
Balance
Success
Peace

Finally, be reminded that when next you sing Abraham blessings are mine, know that it comes with a letter of hard work and dedication. The year has ended and here and there we hear so many talks on alignment, planning, strategy and so on. Take out time to retreat yourself to strategic planning for the coming year. Do not forget that when you plan and remain focused to this plan that is adequately in line with God’s purpose for your life, those strongholds in charge of this aspect of life will never have any legal access

People like Benson Idahosa, Katherine kulhman, Billy Graham, Smith Wiggleswoth and those great men and women of God.

Ask those who saw the revival of 1930s,1970s and 1980s, they will tell you why we are crying over this

“firelessness” we are seeing in our generation of believers.

John Knox prayed: “Lord, Give me Scotland or I die”…

St Patrick, a rugged believer that Brought even dead animals and trees back to life prayed: “God, Give me souls or give me nothing else”….

Brethren, The Hebrides revival prayed:” Lord, If you will not use us, please, kill us”…

The brethren from England who brought the Fire from Azusa Street revival gathered everyday under the terrible cold.

Their only prayer topic was: “Lord, give us men that will spread Your Fire in the streets of England”.

During the Indonesia Revival, those hungry hearts were seen praying day and night: “Lord, The harvest is ripe… If it pleases You, please use us”.

One prayer that was common during the days of William Seymour was: “Lord, this is another day that hell must lose men and women. Please, we are here use us”.

Paul said:” Woe is me if I preach not the gospel”

Rachel said to her husband, Jacob: “Give me children or I die”

But unfortunately, our churches are filled today

with people who are not ashamed of spiritual

barrenness.

We are asking “God give me money. God give me spouse.

God give me visa”.

Where do we see believers

again that will be praying and fasting, and when you listen to them, you will be hearing:” Lord, let Your Fire fall in my community and let their be revival”?

When Paul encountered Christ, he fell and rose. What He asked was:” Lord, what will You have me do”.

But today, when we fall under anointing, we stand to start expecting marriage proposals and visas and employment letters.

This generation of members in our churches have not had a genuine encounter with the Man of Calvary.

No generation has carried Bibles like us without opening it.

No generation is materially driven like ours and we expect the land to obey us.

Jesus said, pray to the Father that He brings His Kingdom on earth.

GOD help us to get it on time. Amen.

Let’s build up our spiritual life cos its very necessary.

If u miss heaven u can never miss hell. Think about it. Hell isn’t a pretty place.

Do the work of an evangelist now by sharing this message with all your contacts.

Have u ever wondered what would have happened if we treat the Holy Bible the way we treat our mobile phone?

And we really can’t live without the BIBLE.

Don’t send later, send now.

May the Almighty God grant good success to every one who reads, comments ‘Amen’, likes and shares this message.

Greetings beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,

Update of Evangelical outreach on the aforementioned date that was carried out as a continuation of our outreach to Egbaen Village

Contactz: A total of 6 houses were visited and a total of 20 persons were directly contacted.

Summary of persons

1 Muslim whom by the Grace of God received Christ as his Lord and personal saviour. We shall follow up on him and by God’s grace see to his baptism.

The Christians contacted were reminded of the vision of the Kingdom. They were encouraged to become more stronger in Faith and lead holy and righteous lives.

Muslim Brethren Receives Christ, Dropped His Indian Hemp and gifted a Bible

We thank God for His Grace and conviction of heart. One of our contact by name, Mr Monday, a Muslim was preached to and by the illumination of the Holy Spirit Making His Ministers bold, was given the message of Salvation and introduced to Christ. He, a drug addict Gave his life to Christ to the glory of the Lord and gave up his wrapped Marijuana which he was about to smoke. He cheerfully handed it over to Sister Ogechi and now kept as a testimony in the archives of CFTWN. Furthermore as a new covert, Sister Ogechi gifted him her personal Bible for him to begin Bible studies. He was also to begin church. We shall be following up on him as directed by the President Bro. Paul Musa Emuekpere who was far away Edo State for a church event he was invited to.
