May Edition
Obedience in accordance with God’s command invariably results in the fulfilment of our requirements.
In this way, we do achieve far more from God than we could have through our own struggle.

Rev. Nina Lewis, Resident Pastor, A.R.S LONDON
Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth
and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and
where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”.
Why has God given us life
and put us upon earth in the
first place. This is the
question that King David asks
in Psalm 8:3-6
"When I consider Your
heavens, the work of Your
fingers, the moon and the
stars, which You have
ordained, what is man that
You are mindful of him, and
the son of man that You visit
him?
For You have made him a
little lower than the angels,
and You have crowned him
with glory and honour. You
have made him to have
dominion over the works of
Your hands. You have put all
things under his feet" God
made us in His own image
so that we might give Him
our Love, our obedience to
His will: to honour Him in all
things, to acknowledge His
glory, to be a witness in this
world of His power and to
worship Him and Him alone.
Each one of us has a purpose in life which God
planned for, and wants us to fulfill.
'We are God's workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do' Paul says
in Ephesians 2:10. The bible makes it clear
that we were put here for a purpose, to live a
life and tread a path already marked out for
us even before we were born.
Have you ever considered that wealth,
possessions, and good fortune in your life can
be as much of a spiritual test by God as the
trial of hardship. We are used to the idea
that difficulties in life can be a test of faith in
God – that He will bring us safely through to
something better, and that by this test we are
made stronger and wiser that God may be
glorified.
I said before, that wealth can be a given as a
test, to see how the owner makes use of his
blessings. Timothy speaks of this in 1
Timothy 6:9-10
'But those who desire to be
rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into
many senseless and harmful desires that
plunge people into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of
evils. It is through this craving that some
Isaiah 43:7 Says 'everyone
have wandered away from the faith and
who is called by my name,
pierced themselves with many pangs. '
whom I created for my glory, Wealth can be a curse if it is not used to
whom I formed and made.'
make the world a better place.
Therefore we must glorify
God in all things.
Timothy goes on to say in verses 17-18 'As
for the rich in this present age, charge them
Deuteronomy 6:5 states that not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on
our purpose in life is to '
the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who
Love the Lord your God with richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your
They are to do good, to be rich in good
strength'
works, to be generous and ready to share'
There are so many temptations
for the wealthy – Jesus said 'It
is easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle,
than for a wealthy many to
enter the Kingdom of Heaven.'
If a wealthy person is able to
use his advantages for the good
of others he will never want for
anything.
Those who want for nothing in
their lives can forget to
acknowledge God in all things,
giving thanks to Him for His
bounty. Hosea 13:6 says 'But
when they had grazed, they
became full, they were filled,
and their heart was lifted up;
therefore they forgot me.'
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:31
'So, whether you eat or drink,
or whatever you do, do all to
the glory of God. 'Do not forget
God.
When that time comes and you
stand before the owner of your
life, you can take nothing with
you but but an account of your
deeds. Ecclesiastes 12:13–14
'The end of the matter; all has
been heard. Fear God and keep
his commandments, for this is
the whole duty of man. For God
will bring every deed into
judgement, with every secret
thing, whether good or evil.'
May God richly bless you with
wealth enhances your life.
Amen

5. Most monuments are not mere decorations.They commemorate Historic events as well.What is the
historic importance of the Golden Jubilee Monument at Tadzewu?
In the nine-teen forties, a severe drought hit Tadzewu and its neighbours.Mawu Fe Ame led the entire
populace to a prayer field,and prayed with them for rain.God answered their prayers instantly and
before those who participated in the prayers could return home,it rained cats and dogs and they all got
drenched to the bone.
A few days later, the chiefs and elders of the town came together and accused Mawu Fe Ame of
practising the juju that caused the drought and brought suffering to the area.The monument was
therefore constructed to commemorate that occasion.The spot of that prayer field is where the Golden
Jubilee monument,containing a fountain, now stands.
The flag of THE APOSTLES
REVELATION SOCIETY is very
unique.
It is so distinctive as to defy human
design. It defies, especially, the
talents of those in Tadzewu, who
started the church.
It was designed by God and
revealed to Mawu Fe Ame in one
of his revelations.
The Flag is draped in red with the
globe in the left hand corner
attached to a cross, or stake, lying
on its side with ARS inscribed
vertically and horizontally to form
a cross. On top of the globe is a
lamb. The globe is situated on an
Ewe kingly stool with two swords
(atamkayi), another kingly regalia,
inscribed on the side of the stool.
The significance of this
configuration is profound.

saving blood of Christ which was

The Lamb is the Lamb of God
that took away the sins of the
world. The kingly regalia establish
the divine rule of Christ.

possess it. Like the blood of the
Passover Lamb, it is meant to divert

Obedience is
better than
Sacrifice
The disobeying of God’s commandments, declarations, ordinances and
statues is not merely transgression against divine order, but indeed an
abomination.
Any act of disobedience to God is worse than the practising of divination and
worshipping of idols. Neither the blood of ox nor billy goat could ever wash
away your sins in your life time and the life hereafter.
In 1 sam. 15:22, the Prophet Samuel posed the question. ‘’Does the Lord
desire offerings and sacrifices as he desires obedience? Look, ‘’ To obey is
better than sacrifice and to listen to Him than the fact of rams.
“This is the end of the matter you have heard it all. Fear God and obey his
commandments; there is no more to man than this. For, God brings
everything we do to judgement; and every secret, whether good or bad’’.
Ecc. 12; 13 – 14.
The Apostle Paul in his letter to Timothy emphasized that godliness with
contentment is great gain. 1 Tim. 6:6.
God Jehovah does not feel contented with people who commit sins or do not
observe His commandments. If a person is pleasing in the sight of God, he
completely satisfies that person with all his or her requirements. Such a
person does indeed observe God’s commandments, ordinances, statutes to
the letter.
THY
However, if God Jehovah who created us does not feel contented with us, we
surely become destitute and devoid of his blessings. Should such persons
even use dubious means to obtain riches, he or she stands to forfeit it all
and will never regain it.
The biblical King Saul completely lost not only his kingship but also his
greatness and high status and finally he died confusedly. As it was with King
Saul so will I be with all and sundry.
History reveals how many a noble or great men, kings, giant associations
have completely disappeared into oblivion. God Jehovah ordained the Ten
Commandments and has been urging to obey them in order to certainly
make this world a paradise.
God, the creator declared thus: six things the Lord hates, yes, seven things
are detestable to him. And these are: - a proud eye, a false tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that forges thoughts of mischief,
and feet that run swiftly to do evil; a false witness telling a pack of lies and
one who stirs up quarrels between brothers. Prov. 6:16 – 19.
Who can conjecture that the things God his creator hates or detests, he will
be able to do them and get deliverance from sin? If any person
contemplates to do the things God hates and receives blessings or spiritual
redemption, that person must be of disordered mind, insane.
Even now-a-days at the high workplaces and among the
professionals, people vie for
higher posts or promotions,
regardless of keeping God’s
commandments.
Therefore they will never attain
their objectives, seeking for
promotion while acting in a
disobedient manner, debars them
from attaining the good fortune
they are badly in need of,
because God the Creator is simply
holding them up to ridicule.
If a person is in a contented state,
fabulously rich, not all in need, but
his behaviour is very bad or he
does some of the things the Lord
hates, he will invariably be
heading for ruin and he himself
will be unaware exactly when or
how disaster will strike him.
COME
Oh? Grandfathers and
Grandmothers, young men, young
women and children, do not seek
for vain glories. Rather, you must
persevere hard to do God’s will in
all respects.
Do not be frightened and neglect
this precious word ‘’obedience’’ for
it is worthwhile for you as an
individual and in society
generally.
Do not deceive each other. Do not
commit adultery. Do not have
sexual affair with your neighbour’s
wife.

Continued
Young men and women must desist
having sexual affair until they get
properly married.
Employees should not cheat on their
employers and colleagues, since
such acts do not bring any blessing.
Married couples should enrich their
love for each other by remaining
truthful. Their relationship should
be devoid of wickedness and deceit
and should always forgive one
another. Children should obey their
parents as decreed by the Lord.
When a person sins against his
neighbour and shows remorse,
then that neighbour should forgive
that person.
All should put aside anxiety and be
guided by humility. Employees
should work very hard at their jobs
and should not hold their
neighbours in hatred for the sun to
set over it.
No one should take away anything
that does not belong to him
without the permission to do so.
Those who disregard this piece of
advice would not be able to escape
the Lord’s sanction. Everyone
should endeavour to eschew evil as
this would prevent diseases among
the people. Ex.15:26.
Do not eat anything that the Lord
does not approve of, either carcass
or blood. Pray incessantly, seize
the initiative yourself.
You do not require anyone to
prompt you to go where you could
seek blessings. Oh, Nations! The
Lord’s beloved Nation, be attentive,
open your eyes and observe this
wide field.
God the Creator does not make
provision for any sacrifice of
atonement that would forestall
punishment for the disobedient.
Ah! Recall the cordial relationship
between the prophet Moses and God
which of you is of the opinion that if
Moses had sinned would be
forgiven? God instructed Moses to
assemble the Nation and to
acknowledge before them that all
water belongs to Him (God) before
striking the rock with rod, Moses
however, did not comply this
instruction.
God queried Moses why he did not
acknowledge his ownership of the
water before the people. In
consequence, he asked Moses to
climb a mountain and survey the
Promised Land, but that he would
never set foot there.
Deut. 3:27.
God’s pronouncements that day, no
doubt are still relevant and valid for
us today, he does not discriminate. If
God were partial through the
provision of atonement sacrifice,
Moses would have been a
beneficiary. You are thus entreated
to obey and conform to the
ordinances that the Lord has given
you.
Members of the Church and
employees must be obedient to their
respective masters. Obedience is
like a string that rakes in fortunes for
man during his life time. There is no
sacrifice that atones for
insubordination or disrespect for
authority.
servants to their masters.
Obedience could transform them
and make them shine as the sun
does.
Anyone who does not make the
effort to understand and conform
accordingly would spell his or her
own doom. In the course of
constructing the Ark of the
Covenant, God decreed that
unauthorized persons should not
handle it. Uzzah, however
handled it and was instantly killed
by God. 1 Chron. 13:9- 10.
The sons of Aaron, Nadab and
Abihu were consumed by fire
because they presented unlawful
fire which the Lord had not
prescribed for them. Lev. 10: 1-2.
Again, God decreed that persons
not assigned to do specified jobs
in the Ministry must restrain
themselves from doing so. Numb.
4:17-20. Oh you, the nation of
God, take note and heed the good
counsel of Ecclesiastes 12:13.
I wish you all the Season’s
blessings. If it pleases God the
Creator, we shall meet again, if
not in this world, then the world
hereafter.
Refusing to play the game according
to the rules could cause serious
disruption and eventual sanctions.
Some self conceited persons flout
rules and regulations with contempt.
Do consider the Lord’s creation of
the Sun and Moon. They daily
follow the course that the Lord has
designated for them.
May the Lord abide with you; I
wish you all a Merry X’mas and a
