November; Saved, Changed And Delivered To Be A Walled Refuge Indeed

Emmanuel Nyabam

Nov 1

"THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps. 110:1.] Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds."
Hebrews 12:1-3 AMPC

"For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward. But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. [Job 23:10.]"
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 AMPC

Changed, Delivered, saved has been the theme of the year at CLAPAI as we enter the eleventh month. Note, November is the eleventh month of the year, on the Julian and Gregorian calendars. On the Hebrew calendar, it is the month Marchesvan (Chesvan, Bul). It is the eighth month of the Hebrew Calendar. The number 11 comes after #10 (law and responsibility), while the number 11 represents the opposite – the irresponsibility of breaking the law which brings disorder and judgment. In Genesis 11, men rebelled against God and built the tower of Babel for which God judged them. The Apostle John saw 11 things in the final judgment (Rev.20:12-14)
It is a month to judge everything that Satan represents. The number 8 is the number of new beginnings and new order. The eighth month of Marchesvan is a time of new births, innovations and inception of new trends.

Now a walled refuge that brings the atmosphere of changed delivered and saved which has traversed our journey for the last few months opens a huge door of opportunity in a new beginning as one read 1 Corinthians 3:13-15. "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward. But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. [Job 23:10.]"
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 AMPC
Now when God changes you and makes you a walled refuge for salvation certain things take place. Let's examine this passage. A wall must have a foundation right? Jesus is that foundation and the passage says tells us work would be tested right! Now the rest of fire trials show whether our works stands as testament unto the Lord. Know that the month of November the Scorpion satan has no right over you as you make a new beginning in Christ establishing His divine truth across the nations. The eight month season of Marchesvan is a strategic time to contend with forces that fight against the birth of new initiatives in the kingdom of God. It is a time to wage war against the scorpion (satan) that wounds and yet is wounded by Christ eternal work at Golgotha. It is a month of judgment, grace and mercy. Let me state that The flood in Noah's days took place in the month of Chesvan. Again it was in the month of Chesvan that Noah, his family and the animals came out of the Ark after the great floods receded. Interestingly, only 8 humans were saved in that flood (Genesis 8). The first mention of covenant was in the month Chesvan (Genesis 8 and 9). Rainbow is the sign of His covenant (Genesis 9:2). The covenant is established this month. It was in the month of Chesvan that King Solomon completed the seven year construction of the first temple in Jerusalem. It was however, inaugurated the following year in the month of Tishise (1 Kings 6:37-38). King Jeroboam instituted the worship of the golden calves and set up an ungodly priesthood and a religious feast in the month Cheshvan and this brought the judgment of God on Northern Israel (1 Kings 12:25-33).

This is the only month on the Hebrew calendar without a Holy Day observance. It is therefore, a month to honour God in mundane things through a life of sanctification (Isaiah 42:6). Give thanks to God for the month of Cheshvan and for His plans and purposes for this month. Bring the pleadings of the blood of Jesus Christ to wipe out every record of sin and transgression against us, our families, and the nation. Plead for the blotting out of any carry forward of sin into the month of Cheshvan. (Isaiah 1:18). Declare the Lordship and supremacy of our God and our Lord Jesus Christ over the month of Cheshvan and all the days in it. Declare His lordship over our lives, our families, the church, and the nation (Psalm 24:1). Command the spirit of disorder, lawlessness, and rebellion to be banished from our lives, our families, the church, and the nation as we transit through the month of Cheshvan. Pray to the Lord to arise and purge our families, the church, and the nation of Idol worship and all other forms of worship to Satan in the month of Cheshvan (Zechariah 13:1-2; Micah 5:10-14). Now ask the following of the month of November; Ask the Lord to do a new thing in your life and in the life of your nation in the 8th month of Marchesvan (Isaiah 43:18-19). Pray that God will raise instruments of redemption in the nation, church and families who carry the gracious new identity of the 8th month (Jeremiah 31:31; Revelations 3:17). Bind the spirit of the scorpion that wounds but has been eternally wounded by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross (Colossians 2:14-15; Luke 10:19). Activate the stars of scorpion not to take instructions from the red dragon or his agents based on the fact that the scorpion was eternally wounded on the cross (Revelations 12:11). Pray that leaders will not replicate the sin of Jeroboam in the season of Marchesvan or indeed at any other season (1 Kings 12:32). Call the nation to return back to God (Zechariah 1:1-3). Pray that the nation, church and families shall be healed from the wounds, pains, torment and hurts inflicted by the scorpion. PRAY FOR NIGERIA
Pray that NIGERIA will be born again in this season (Isaiah 66:7-9; John 3:6-8).
