PRUDENCE – THE MANAGING AND MANAGEMENT OF GOD’S GIVEN RESOURCES

September 27, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRUDENCE – THE MANAGING AND MANAGEMENT OF GOD’S GIVEN RESOURCES: FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE – THE WISE PATH OF DOING LIFE THROUGH PRUDENCE!

“A PRUDENT [FAR-SIGHTED] man FORESEETH the evil, and HIDETH himself: but the SIMPLE [NAIVE] pass on, and are PUNISHED [SUFFERED]” Proverbs 22:3/Emphasis Mine.

PRUDENCE — it is the managing and MANAGEMENT of God’s endowed and given resources in terms of — TALENT/SKILL, FINANCE (MONEY), TIME, MATERIAL (PHYSICAL SUPPORT) and PEOPLE — that are within reach to do the PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL diligent work in life and grace.

The above is the definition God taught me in His WISDOM FOR LIVING SCHOOL; and in the course of doing life and living godly in any form of business in the Kingdom, I have also learnt and am still learning what it takes to be FULFILLED, which is far beyond mere SUCCESS or being SUCCESSFUL.

And to be PRUDENT, there is the need to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE and DILIGENT in all matters of doing life and godly living in the grace.

“The WISE in heart shall be called PRUDENT: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning” Proverbs 16:21.

Therefore, considering the context of being PRUDENT — there is the need to be prudent in the management of God’s given resources that are available to you, in doing life and living godly. The stewardship and faithfulness to such given resources of God will open doors of trust to greater endowments for any man [Matthew 25:14-30; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2].

You need to learn from our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who in His humanity and earthly ministerial assignment and mandate from Father God, NEVER wasted materials. An example is the way He prudently ensured that which could have been considered leftovers — like the fragments — were gathered. After feeding the five thousand men, besides women and children, with the five loaves and two fishes, He ensured that the fragments were gathered into twelve (12) baskets for other causes or further causes [Matthew 14:15-21].
“. . 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they TOOK UP of the FRAGMENTS that remained twelve baskets full . .” [Matthew 14:20; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17].

Considering being PRUDENT in one resource — FINANCES — there is the need to ensure that you are prudently intelligent; for the essence of being prudent in finance and financial management may not be appreciated until you hit the bottom, as I have experienced. It is when you watch and see that all you have worked for, or freely been given, or have inherited, disappears before your very eyes, as found in the Prodigal son lifestyle [Luke 15:11-24]; and more so, in Isaac’s near-bankruptcy because of the FAMINE [economic meltdown, austerity] that broke out, as experienced in the Holy Writ [Genesis 26:1-14].

My mentor and father in the Lord, of blessed memory, once said in a marriage seminar to the married men audience in attendance then, with this wisdom nugget for marital living:

“DON’T BORROW MONEY FROM YOUR WIFE” — simply put, because in some of a wife’s world — in the paying back — “IT’S AN INTEREST-ONLY BUSINESS TRANSACTION — AND PAYING BACK NEVER ENDS” while the marriage lasts.
I was told, “You will pay INTEREST-ONLY for all your life and the loan will never be acknowledged as paid.” That is the lesson I learnt not early enough. It took me years to put together what that statement means.

What I have come to know is this: that which I considered to have been mine in a way, is called OURS; but what children and wife have, they say it’s THEIRS and not ours respectively.
In a factual world, that is considered to be selfish by these two groups — and that is what I always thought before. Perhaps I may be wrong.
If otherwise, do you or anybody have such experiences, or is it just me in my world? Help me out if you do.

I also later, in the course of time, discovered that the notepad in which my wife wrote that she lent me money years and years ago — which I could hardly remember again — is still intact. Long after I am sure and certain that I had fully paid back within the framework of the time agreed, and even when the purpose was still about resolving our family cause and causes.
For her, that money is hers and not ours indeed.
Each time I requested that she should indicate “fully paid” with a date on her notepad, as expected then, she said NO.
When I asked why, she would say whatever I had paid, as far as she was concerned, was ‘INTEREST ONLY’, because money taken from a woman is never fully paid. Just as my father in the Lord had told us — and as he taught us in the marriage seminar from his own experiences.

My wife said that is the only way to help me understand what PRUDENCE and being PRUDENT — the management of God’s given resources — really means in financial matters.
And for you, the Believers in Christ Jesus — it is worthwhile noting that in the management of God’s given resource, the reason why you need to live and do life WITHIN your own available means and resource, and not count on someone else’s as yours.
Such self-acclaimed entitlement to someone else’s can ruin your life if you are not principled in being prudential.

That is what I ascribe as to LIVE [LIVING] WITHIN YOUR OWN FAITH AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S FAITH! — which otherwise means, living within your means as to TILL [CULTIVATE] your OWN LAND [OPPORTUNITY], and in the PROCESS OF TIME your breakthrough will eventually come in the grace.
For whatever happens to be without a process is a scam and a fraud.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST [RIGHTEOUS] shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4/Emphasis mine.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is VOID of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] HIS LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with BLESSINGS: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him. Proverbs 28:19-22.

And with the experience of being told it was INTEREST-ONLY, she taught me to learn more on PRUDENCE — [the management of God’s given resources] — as a serious matter and good ‘FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE’ in the School of Life LESSONS.
That is, not wanting to borrow for anything that doesn’t lead to MORE and far-reaching PRODUCTIVITY in terms of — innovating, creating and exploring — thereby earning far GREATER results, leading to an onward and upward trajectory in the grace.

My wife’s action has broadened my horizon in terms of living far ABOVE the norms as may be applicable in many ways, especially in living in a developed world of capitalism, wherein there is indebtedness in society at large with no exception.

And the wisdom to never again borrow from interest-only businesses in all settings; not even in Property Mortgages, or the Credit Card menace as dominant in the developed world, and which many other parts of the world are now embracing, despite the lessons learnt from the economic and financial meltdown of 2008 and other recessions that have emanated prior to and out of it, till the present day and time.[relative]

However, thanks to my lovely wife and her school of ‘interest-only’ lesson — which my father in the Lord was right about eventually, from his own experience. It has made me wiser today than ever before.

Bless you HONEY, if you are reading this note, do ensure you’ve written on your notepad — loan is fully paid and dated. If you are not reading this, which I hope not, to save my day — it’s all well too in the grace.

Does anybody have such an experience? Bless you too. I hope you’ve learnt something good today.

Blessed regards.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A PRUDENT man FORESEETH the EVIL, and HIDETH himself: but the simple PASS on, and are PUNISHED” Proverbs 22:3.

“The WISE in heart shall be called PRUDENT: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth LEARNING” Proverbs 16:21.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the SHINING LIGHT, that shineth more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day.” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [NOBLES, DIGNITARIES, HONOURABLES]; he shall not STAND before MEAN [UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED] men” Proverbs 22:29.

SUMMARY:
The message is: PRUDENCE — THE MANAGING AND MANAGEMENT OF GOD’S GIVEN RESOURCES is THE WISE PATH OF DOING LIFE THROUGH FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

It is a teaching, testimony and charge that calls Believers to steward TALENT, FINANCE, TIME, MATERIAL and PEOPLE with godly wisdom. Through personal experience, Scripture, and a marriage lesson on “INTEREST-ONLY” borrowing, it shows that PRUDENCE leads to FULFILMENT, not just SUCCESS, and protects us from waste, debt and ruin while positioning us for greater endowment and breakthrough in the grace.

KEY POINTS

THE DEFINITION AND FOUNDATION OF PRUDENCE

PRUDENCE is the managing and MANAGEMENT of God’s endowed resources: TALENT/SKILL, FINANCE (MONEY), TIME, MATERIAL, and PEOPLE.

To be PRUDENT you must be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE and DILIGENT in life and godly living [Proverbs 16:21].

“A PRUDENT [FAR-SIGHTED] man FORESEETH the evil, and HIDETH himself: but the SIMPLE [NAIVE] pass on, and are PUNISHED” [Proverbs 22:3].

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF PRUDENCE

Jesus: NEVER wasted. He gathered 12 baskets of fragments after feeding 5,000 [Matthew 14:15-21].

Stewardship: Faithfulness in little opens doors to greater endowments [Matthew 25:14-30; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2].

Isaac: Faced FAMINE [economic meltdown] but survived by prudence [Genesis 26:1-14].

Prodigal Son: Lost all through waste and lack of financial intelligence [Luke 15:11-24].

THE MARRIAGE LESSON: “INTEREST-ONLY” FINANCIAL WISDOM

“DON’T BORROW MONEY FROM YOUR WIFE” — In some contexts it becomes an INTEREST-ONLY BUSINESS TRANSACTION that NEVER ENDS while the marriage lasts.

The lesson: What I call OURS, wife and children call THEIRS.

The notepad of debt remained for years, and payments were counted as ‘INTEREST ONLY’.

The purpose: To teach PRUDENCE and to live WITHIN YOUR OWN FAITH AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S FAITH — i.e. TILL [CULTIVATE] YOUR OWN LAND [OPPORTUNITY] [Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-22].

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD… A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with BLESSINGS” [Proverbs 28:19-20].

“The JUST [RIGHTEOUS] shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” [Habakkuk 2:4].

FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE IN A CAPITALIST WORLD

Do not borrow for anything that does not lead to MORE and far-reaching PRODUCTIVITY — innovating, creating, exploring.

Avoid interest-only businesses: Property Mortgages, Credit Card menace, and all debt traps dominant in the developed world and spreading globally since the 2008 meltdown.

“He that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT… POVERTY shall come upon him” [Proverbs 28:20,22].

Living ABOVE the norms of societal indebtedness requires prudence.

THE OUTCOME OF PRUDENCE

PRUDENCE leads to FULFILMENT, which is far beyond mere SUCCESS.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS” [Proverbs 22:29].

“The PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the SHINING LIGHT, that shineth more and more unto the PERFECT day” [Proverbs 4:18].

“In thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” [Psalms 16:11].

CALL TO ACTION

AUDIT YOUR 5 RESOURCES: TALENT, FINANCE, TIME, MATERIAL, PEOPLE. Manage them purposefully and meaningfully. Be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE and DILIGENT.
PRACTISE FINANCIAL PRUDENCE: Live WITHIN your means. Do not borrow for consumption. Only borrow if it leads to PRODUCTIVITY, innovation and greater results.
TILL YOUR OWN LAND: Cultivate your own opportunity. Do not depend on someone else’s faith or resources. “Whatever happens without a process is a scam and a fraud.”
LEARN FROM SCRIPTURE AND EXAMPLES: Be like Jesus who gathered fragments. Avoid the Prodigal path. Foresee evil and hide yourself [Proverbs 22:3].
BE FAITHFUL IN LITTLE: Stewardship opens doors to greater endowment from God [Matthew 25:21].
SHARE AND REFLECT: Does anybody have such an “interest-only” experience? Pause, think, and apply the lesson. SELAH.

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS

September 26, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS: YOU ARE CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY!

PRAYER — The gracious mantle of changing the course of human history by divinity. Be a part of the train and the trailblazers, for the world needs your impact. And prayer is the access to it by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be MADE for ALL men; 2 for KINGS, and for ALL that are in AUTHORITY; that we may lead a QUIET and PEACEABLE life in all GODLINESS and HONESTY. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS; it’s your time to PRAY to SAVE yourself and those you care about from BECOMING the PREY and VICTIM of the unrelenting Enemy and cohorts.

We are in a great time of great NEED, and God’s grace is readily available today as always to ANSWER our QUEST and the deep yearnings of our hearts in these difficult and challenging times, as it is written:

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.

There is a very strong NEED today, more than ever before, for you to team up and create Personal, Community and National PRAYER WALLS to end the appalling devastation on our homes, streets, communities — local, state, national — government and governance.

Do you have a set personal PRAYER WALL? Can you team with one or two or more for a PRAYER WALL chain of at least 5 minutes a day? I know you can if you are resolved.

There is the need to have a PRAYER WALL for Personal and National Affairs with God, if you must make a remarkable, eternal effect and difference in your earthly life affairs before God and mankind. This is only possible when you recall King Hezekiah’s PRAYER WALL that reversed his death sentence after a verdict had been divinely made upon him, as in the Holy Writ of Isaiah 38:1-8.

Like King Hezekiah, as redeemed royal priesthood, God can tell you what will happen in your circumstances, and you can change the outcome. Too often, we look for somebody else to do it for us. It is now your time and my time to rise to the platform and make the difference we dearly need and desire.

God will HEAL and wants to HEAL our LAND — our nations — from every form of ills, but it is in our prerogative to create the atmosphere to ensure His healing virtue has free course to be fulfilled as promised. And it is simply for these three reasons, as written in 2 Chronicles 7:13-15:

When There Is No RAIN — No Productivity to THRIVE and FULFIL PURPOSE due to stalled, stunted, collapsed or meltdown in economic growth and development.

When The LOCUSTS — Economic recessions, Corruption and Austerity Measures — invade and rule the land, due to bad governance/government or failed personal and national economic SET PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

When PESTILENCE — Various kinds of Endemic and Epidemic Diseases and Sicknesses — invades the land, despite all the research and technology and medical science investments year after year to curb the various infirmities.

The scripture in Chronicles indicates that we can turn the hand of divinity for good towards us for the heavenly outpour. Meaning, if divinity was RESPONSIBLE for our pains, we CAN appeal to God and change His intent as the scriptural context indicates. Much more, if He is not, we can, with surety and certainty and with divinity on our side, be able to thrive, accomplish and bring about the change and atmosphere we earnestly crave to have. That is, giving heavenly permission to interfere for the good of our earthly affairs.

Think about it, as the Holy Writ scriptures thus indicate.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the LAND, or if I SEND PESTILENCE among my PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

PRAYER — THE MANTLE OF CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY.

Let’s get engaged, let’s get on board, let’s do it, as it is the only living breath we have for our wholeness, fullness, fruitfulness and fulfilment in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In those days was HEZEKIAH SICK UNTO DEATH. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, SET THINE HOUSE IN ORDER: FOR THOU SHALT DIE, AND NOT LIVE. 2 Then Hezekiah TURNED HIS FACE TOWARD THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord, 3 and said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. 7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down” Isaiah 38:1-8.

“Do not be ANXIOUS or WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that PEACE which] stands GUARD over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified.

SUMMARY:

The message is a divine summons to build PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS — because PRAYER is the gracious MANTLE that CHANGES THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY.

It calls every believer, community and nation to stop waiting on others and to arise now in intercession. Through Scripture, it shows that when God’s people humble themselves and pray, God hears, forgives, heals the land, reverses verdicts, and releases grace for wholeness, fullness, fruitfulness and fulfilment in Christ Jesus’ stead.

KEY POINTS

THE MANTLE OF PRAYER CHANGES HISTORY

PRAYER is “the gracious mantle of changing the course of human history by divinity.”

Be a part of the train and the trailblazers. The world needs your impact, and prayer is the access to it by God in Christ Jesus’ stead.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be MADE for ALL men; for KINGS, and for ALL that are in AUTHORITY” [1 Timothy 2:1-2].

THE URGENCY OF THIS SEASON: PRAYER CHANGES THINGS

We are in a great time of great NEED. God’s grace is readily available to ANSWER our QUEST and the deep yearnings of our hearts.

It is your time to PRAY to SAVE yourself and those you care about from becoming PREY and VICTIM of the unrelenting Enemy and cohorts.

“LET US… come BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” [Hebrews 4:14-16].

BUILD PRAYER WALLS: PERSONAL, COMMUNITY, NATIONAL

There is a very strong NEED to team up and create PRAYER WALLS to end devastation on homes, streets, communities, government and governance.

Do you have a set personal PRAYER WALL? Can you team with 1-2 or more for a PRAYER WALL chain of at least 5 minutes a day?

A PRAYER WALL for Personal and National Affairs with God is required to make a remarkable, eternal effect before God and mankind.

BIBLICAL PRECEDENT: THE HEZEKIAH EXAMPLE

King Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed, and God reversed a death sentence [Isaiah 38:1-8].

As redeemed royal priesthood, God can tell you what will happen in your circumstances, and you can change the outcome.

Too often we look for somebody else to do it. It is now your time and my time to rise and make the difference.

GOD’S PROMISE FOR HEALING THE LAND: 2 CHRONICLES 7:13-15
God will HEAL our LAND from 3 crises when His people pray:
NO RAIN — No Productivity to THRIVE and FULFIL PURPOSE due to economic collapse and meltdown.
THE LOCUSTS — Economic recessions, Corruption and Austerity Measures due to bad governance and failed plans.
PESTILENCE — Endemic and Epidemic Diseases despite medical science and technology.

“If MY PEOPLE… shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face… then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land” [2 Chronicles 7:14].

THE POWER OF PRAYER WITH DIVINITY

The scripture indicates we can turn the hand of divinity for good towards us.

Whether divinity is responsible for our pains or not, with God on our side we can appeal, thrive, accomplish and bring the change we crave.

That is giving heavenly permission to interfere for the good of our earthly affairs.

“Do not be ANXIOUS… but in EVERYTHING by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING… And the PEACE of God… stands GUARD over your hearts” [Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified].

CALL TO ACTION

ESTABLISH YOUR PERSONAL PRAYER WALL TODAY: Set a daily time. Turn your face to the wall like Hezekiah and pray [Isaiah 38:2].
JOIN OR FORM A PRAYER WALL CHAIN: Team with 1, 2 or more people for at least 5 minutes a day of targeted prayer.
PRAY FOR ALL MEN AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY: Kings, leaders, government and governance [1 Timothy 2:1-2]. Pray for quiet and peaceable living.
INTERCEDE FOR THE 3 NATIONAL CRISES: RAIN — Productivity. LOCUSTS — Economy and Corruption. PESTILENCE — Health and Sickness. Ask God to HEAL our LAND [2 Chronicles 7:14].
COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE: Don’t be anxious. Present your requests with thanksgiving and receive grace to help in time of need [Hebrews 4:16; Philippians 4:6].
GET ENGAGED NOW: Let’s get on board. This is the only living breath we have for our wholeness, fullness, fruitfulness and fulfilment in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH

September 26, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN (ERRONEOUS), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.

In life you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD, or you are living by FATE that is built upon RELIGION — [DENOMINATION, TRADITION, SECTARIANISM] — that you do in the name of God, which connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, bylaws, and man-made traditional sectarian settings that have been carried on and practised over time as spiritual norms and the like.

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the SURE WORD, and the SURE WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the bondages of FATE.

Hence, FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus’ stead, in the face of any challenges that show up in the world.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5/Emphasis Mine.

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of FAITH in Christ Jesus, which are:

The WORLD — the enemy we SEE

The FLESH — the enemy we FEEL

The DEVIL — the enemy we KNOW

RELIGION — the enemy we DO

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay — especially RELIGION, that subtle and crafty enemy we DO — many have been robbed of the genuineness of the Faith. For while many go on living by FATE thinking it is FAITH in Christ Jesus, they do not know that they have been engraved with religiosity in essence. And there are many who have no genuine difference that is scripturally FAITH-BASED, apart from the sectarian religious differences they hold as to what they do.

The reason you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that is founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience — though not limited to — the graciousness of God in these areas:

YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teachers, and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts mentioned earlier.

BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy Writ — the Bible — and provide the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowledge and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity, and an intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believers in Christ Jesus; and in relating to and dealing with life matters and the world about us.

EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us effective witness-bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassadors and the embassy of God. As ASSURED witnesses, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believers alike astray in great measure.

UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate, genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus’ stead.

UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure a scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts aforementioned, but it cannot be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the SURE FOUNDATION and SURE WORD — the person of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and/or any other of my books or published writings on the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal.

It is my utmost PRAYER that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that is upon THE SURE WORD of God, which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV.

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV.

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.

SUMMARY
The message is a prophetic charge on WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD.

It warns that without the SURE WORD as foundation, people live by FATE through RELIGION, and become victims of the WORLD, FLESH, DEVIL and RELIGION. But FAITH built on the SURE WORD — Christ Jesus — saves, delivers, frees and guarantees an ONWARD and UPWARD life that OVERCOMES THE WORLD.

KEY POINTS

THE PROBLEM: MISTAKEN FAITH WITHOUT THE WORD

“You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” [Matthew 22:29].

Two options exist in life:

FAITH — built upon the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD.

FATE — built upon RELIGION: DENOMINATION, TRADITION, SECTARIANISM, creeds, dogmas, bylaws and man-made settings.

Many live by FATE thinking it is FAITH. Religiosity has robbed them of the genuineness of Faith.

THE SOLUTION: FAITH COMES BY THE SURE WORD

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” [Romans 10:17].

“If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD… ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” [John 8:31-32].

The SURE WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates from the bondages of FATE.

“For this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH” [1 John 5:4].

THE 4 ENEMIES OF FAITH TO IDENTIFY AND KEEP AT BAY

The WORLD — the enemy we SEE

The FLESH — the enemy we FEEL

The DEVIL — the enemy we KNOW

RELIGION — the enemy we DO. This is the most subtle and crafty.

6 REASONS YOU MUST BUILD ON THE SURE FOUNDATION OF THE SURE WORD
YOU AVOID HERESY: Protection against false teachings and teachers.
BIBLICAL ACCURACY: Teachings aligned with the Holy Writ — the Bible.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH: Proper knowledge that leads to maturity and intimacy with God and Believers.
EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: Makes us assured ambassadors of Christ, free from error.
UNITY AND COMMUNION: Common understanding of essential beliefs fosters unity in the Christian FAITH community.
UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: Tested and shaken, but not destroyed. Preserved by Christ the SURE FOUNDATION and SURE WORD [1 Corinthians 3:11; Matthew 7:24-25].

SCRIPTURAL PROOF OF THE SURE FOUNDATION

“FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST” [1 Corinthians 3:11].

“The FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE” [2 Timothy 2:19].

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” [2 Peter 1:19].

A house built on the ROCK stands through rain, floods and winds [Matthew 7:24-25].

CALL TO ACTION

CHOOSE YOUR FOUNDATION TODAY: Stop building on FATE and RELIGION. Build your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD — Jesus Christ.
CONTINUE IN THE WORD: “If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed” [John 8:31]. Daily hearing, reading, and doing the Word.
IDENTIFY AND RENOUNCE THE 4 ENEMIES: Especially RELIGION. Purge yourself from traditions that contradict Scripture [2 Timothy 2:21].
FEED FOR VICTORY: Let the WORD be your daily food. “DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE” [Proverbs 18:21]. Speak the Word to build faith.
HOLD FAST YOUR CONFESSION: “LET US HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” [Hebrews 10:23; 4:14].
BECOME A VESSEL OF HONOUR: Purged and prepared for every good work, built with gold, silver and precious stones on Christ [1 Corinthians 3:12-14; 2 Timothy 2:21].
GET GROUNDED IN THE WORD: For more, get “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and other published writings to deepen your foundation.

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD

September 25, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD: DO YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST TODAY!

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

SELF-ASSESSMENT saves. SELF-APPRAISAL delivers and secures one from embarrassing oneself in the public domain.

It is a daily medicine of examining one’s faith in any context of doing life and living godly. It is enriching in our journey to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for our lives.

“But let a man EXAMINE himself . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:28.

More so, it is high time for you to FEED YOUR FAITH and STARVE YOUR DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good in LIFE and GRACE, as you give your EARS to the HEARING of the WORD of FAITH in order to thrive in life and godliness in Christ Jesus’ stead [Amos 8:11-14; Romans 10:8-10, 17; Proverbs 4:20-23].

If ‘FAITH’, which is the DEFAULT, LEGAL and VITAL TENDER to please, relate to and obtain God’s attention, COMES by the hearing of ‘THE WORD’, which is of God, it thus means: NO HEARING of THE WORD of God, means NO ‘FAITH’; and NO FAITH, means NO ACTIVATION can take place as expected to PLEASE God scripturally [Amos 8:11-14; Hebrews 11:6].

So, if I may ask, are you hearing and listening to THE WORD? [John 1:1-5; 1 John 5:7; Romans 10:8].
What WORD are you listening to?
What WORD are you hearing?
What WORD are you giving your attention to?
What sort of information are you FEEDING your spirit-being with?
Is it God who is SPEAKING or SAYING His WORD to you, or otherwise? [Proverbs 4:20-23; Romans 10:8-10].

You had better check it out, otherwise you may end up making God’s Word of NO EFFECT for your good, because of your TRADITIONS through IGNORANCE.

“Making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT through your TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:13.

Are you held bound by TRADITION and IGNORANCE? Yes — meaning held bound by our self-made culture, make-believe, dogmas, religiosity, religion and religious prejudice, and man-made creed, philosophy and indulgence, and more, which contradict God’s WORD — the basis for formulating our FAITH in God in Christ Jesus’ stead.

So, EXAMINE your FAITH before you lay blame on God, as some do when at crossroads and under crossfire.

Feed your FAITH and starve your DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good and for your good name. [2 Corinthians 13:5]

Be BLESSED in Christ. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But let a man EXAMINE himself . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:28.

“So then FAITH COMETH by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:20-23.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

Further Scriptural Reading: Habakkuk 2:4; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Galatians 3:11; Mark 11:20-24; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23.

SUMMARY:
The message is a Kingdom charge to EXAMINE YOUR FAITH and take responsibility for it — DON’T BLAME GOD. It calls us to daily SELF-ASSESSMENT, to FEED OUR FAITH by HEARING THE WORD, and to break free from TRADITION and IGNORANCE that make God’s Word of NONE EFFECT.

It teaches that FAITH is the VITAL TENDER to please God, and that FAITH only COMES by HEARING THE WORD. Therefore our spiritual health, victory, and onward trajectory depends on what we are listening to and feeding our spirit-being with.

KEY POINTS

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH — DON’T BLAME GOD

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH” [2 Corinthians 13:5].

“But let a man EXAMINE himself” [1 Corinthians 11:28].

SELF-ASSESSMENT saves. SELF-APPRAISAL delivers and secures one from public embarrassment.

It is daily medicine for doing life and living godly, and it enriches our fulfilment of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit.

FAITH COMES BY HEARING THE WORD

“So then FAITH COMETH by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” [Romans 10:17].

FAITH is the DEFAULT, LEGAL and VITAL TENDER to please, relate to and obtain God’s attention [Hebrews 11:6].

NO HEARING of THE WORD = NO FAITH. NO FAITH = NO ACTIVATION to please God scripturally.

FEED YOUR FAITH and STARVE YOUR DOUBTS by giving your EARS to the HEARING of the WORD of FAITH [Amos 8:11-14; Proverbs 4:20-23].

GUARD WHAT YOU ARE FEEDING YOUR SPIRIT

Ask: What WORD am I listening to? What am I giving attention to? Is it God who is SPEAKING to me?

“ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS” [Proverbs 4:20-21].

There is a coming FAMINE — “NOT A FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD” [Amos 8:11].

What we feed our spirit-being with determines whether we thrive in life and godliness in Christ Jesus’ stead.

BREAK FREE FROM TRADITION AND IGNORANCE

“Making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT through your TRADITION” [Mark 7:13].

TRADITION and IGNORANCE include: self-made culture, make-believe, dogmas, religiosity, religion, religious prejudice, man-made creed, philosophy and indulgence.

These contradict God’s WORD — the basis for formulating our FAITH in God in Christ Jesus’ stead.

EXAMINE your FAITH before you lay blame on God when at crossroads and under crossfire.

THE RESULT OF FAITH BUILT ON THE WORD

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH” [1 John 5:4].

Without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE God [Hebrews 11:6].

God’s WORD WORKING for your good in LIFE and GRACE produces victory, health, and a good name.

CALL TO ACTION

DO YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT TODAY: Set time to EXAMINE YOUR FAITH. Ask, “Is Christ in me? Am I living by FAITH or by FATE?” [2 Corinthians 13:5]
FEED YOUR FAITH DAILY: INCLINE YOUR EARS to THE WORD [Proverbs 4:20]. Prioritise Scripture, sound teaching, and God’s voice over noise and tradition.
STARVE YOUR DOUBTS: Cut off information, traditions and conversations that contradict God’s WORD and weaken FAITH.
REJECT TRADITION THAT NULLIFIES THE WORD: Identify self-made culture, dogmas and religious prejudice in your life. Choose the SURE WORD over man-made creeds [Mark 7:13].
BELIEVE AND ACTIVATE: Remember, WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God [Hebrews 11:6]. Act on what you hear so God’s WORD can WORK for your good.
STAY IN THE WORD TO OVERCOME: “THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH” [1 John 5:4]. Keep feeding until faith becomes your lifestyle.

BEING GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL

September 25, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL: GIVING THANKS ALWAYS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART!

“IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS: for this is the WILL of God in Christ Jesus CONCERNING you” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

Make THANKS a LIVING VIRTUE — your WORTH in life is marked by GIVING THANKS ALWAYS, both in good times and in the midst of mishap, challenging and difficult times — in the Name of the Lord Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED US and has DRAWN US to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED US to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.

Your GRATITUDE will change your ATTITUDE; and your ATTITUDE will define your ALTITUDE and APTITUDE in life and in godly living.

“By him therefore let us OFFER the sacrifice of praise to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the fruit of our lips GIVING THANKS TO HIS NAME” Hebrews 13:15.

When you make a living of being thankful and grateful with a gracious and graceful heart — firstly to God and to others — you create an enabling atmosphere that ensures and assures the environment you illuminate and will enjoy seamlessly.

Make THANKS a LIVING VIRTUE, for your WORTH in life is marked by GIVING THANKS ALWAYS in the Name of the Lord God.

GIVING THANKS to God for ALL THINGS includes also your: family, spouse, children, career, friends, colleagues, business, possessions, acquisitions and even in the midst of any mishap and the like. Give it a go today.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 GIVING THANKS ALWAYS for ALL THINGS unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 submitting yourselves one to another in the fear (REVERENCE) of God” Ephesians 5:19-21.

“Let THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY IN ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, GIVING THANKS TO GOD AND THE FATHER BY HIM” Colossians 3:16-17.

“By him therefore let us OFFER the sacrifice of praise to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the fruit of our lips GIVING THANKS TO HIS NAME” Hebrews 13:15.

SUMMARY
The message is a Kingdom charge to make THANKS a LIVING VIRTUE by GIVING THANKS ALWAYS with a GRATEFUL HEART, because gratitude is the WILL OF GOD and the gateway to godly ALTITUDE and APTITUDE in life.

It teaches that thanksgiving is not seasonal, but a continual SACRIFICE OF PRAISE that qualifies us, rescues us, and creates an atmosphere where we can live and enjoy God’s grace seamlessly.

KEY POINTS

THANKSGIVING IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU

“IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS: for this is the WILL of God in Christ Jesus CONCERNING you” [1 Thessalonians 5:18].

We are to give thanks ALWAYS — in good times and in the midst of mishap, challenging and difficult times.

It is to be done “in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ” [Ephesians 5:20; Colossians 3:17].

GRATITUDE IS ROOTED IN REDEMPTION

“GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the INHERITANCE of the saints” [Colossians 1:12].

He has RESCUED US, DRAWN US from darkness, and TRANSFERRED US to the Kingdom of His Son, in whom we have REDEMPTION and FORGIVENESS [Colossians 1:13-14].

Our thanks flows from what Christ has ALREADY done, not just what He will do.

GRATITUDE TRANSFORMS YOUR LIFE

“Your GRATITUDE will change your ATTITUDE; and your ATTITUDE will define your ALTITUDE and APTITUDE in life and in godly living.”

A thankful heart creates an enabling atmosphere. It ensures the environment you ILLUMINATE and will enjoy seamlessly.

Thankfulness is a VIRTUE that marks your WORTH.

THANKSGIVING IS A CONTINUAL SACRIFICE

“By him therefore let us OFFER the sacrifice of praise to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the fruit of our lips GIVING THANKS TO HIS NAME” [Hebrews 13:15].

It is expressed through psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, and making melody in your heart to the Lord [Ephesians 5:19].

Let THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY as you sing with grace [Colossians 3:16].

WHAT TO GIVE THANKS FOR
GIVING THANKS to God for ALL THINGS includes:

People: family, spouse, children, friends, colleagues

Purpose: career, business, possessions, acquisitions

Process: even in the midst of any mishap and the like

CALL TO ACTION

DECIDE TODAY: Make THANKS a LIVING VIRTUE. Choose gratitude as a lifestyle, not a mood. “Give it a go today.”
PRACTISE CONTINUAL THANKSGIVING: Offer the SACRIFICE OF PRAISE CONTINUALLY [Hebrews 13:15]. Speak it, sing it, live it.
GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THINGS: Make a list. Thank God for your family, career, business, and even challenges — because He is working all things for good.
LET THE WORD AND WORSHIP FILL YOU: “Let THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY” [Colossians 3:16]. Speak to yourself in psalms and hymns with a grateful heart.
LIVE SUBMISSIVE AND GRACIOUS: “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” [Ephesians 5:21]. A grateful heart produces a gracious and graceful life.
WATCH YOUR LIFE RISE: As your GRATITUDE changes your ATTITUDE, God will lift your ALTITUDE and sharpen your APTITUDE for Kingdom living.

IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION: BE LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL YOU DO!

September 25, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION: BE LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL YOU DO!

“. . . 14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-16.

We live in an enviable, smart generation; it is a gracious and graceful place to be. And to triumphantly live and thrive meaningfully and purposefully, one needs to be watchful and connected.

And to be connected to the One who is able to HELP us to stay ABOVE ONLY in the midst of all the NOISE around us — that Person to help us is the BLESSED Holy Spirit.

And by being LED of the Holy Spirit in ALL you do, you can both please Father God and live faithfully on His merit on earth in this seamless, smart and digitised generation.

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should PRAY for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And He that SEARCHETH the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:26-27.

Do not be DECEIVED by anyone, nor be mistaken by self-errors. It is time for you to exercise yourself into the realm of VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS by engaging yourself with the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL TRUTH called the HOLY BIBLE.

You need to READ and STUDY and SEARCH the SCRIPTURES for self-discovery that will give and lead you into self-recovery in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead.

If I may ask you today, HOW MUCH ARE YOU READING and STUDYING and SEARCHING THE WORD in context and in comparison to your WATCHING AND VIEWING of photos and videos on social media platforms and the like?

Today, we are carried away with images, photos and videos, which most times may be photoshopped, disfigured, distorted, dotted, adulterated and twisted by the creators of such, while many buy into them, analyse them and transmit them as baseless information to vulnerable hearts.

You need to be very careful, vigilant and swiftly alert these days; and even more, be LED of the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God if you want the best and the FULLNESS of our God in this challenging but enviable generation.

” Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be ALERT, VIGILANT and CAUTIOUS at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, PROWLS around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking SOMEONE to devour. 9 But RESIST him, be firm and steadfast in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. 11 To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11/Amplified.

It is through the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD that is BREATHED by the Holy Spirit that we can do life and live godly in this TIMED GENERATION, in spite of all the awesome happenings in it.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE to MAKE thee WISE unto salvation through FAITH which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is GIVEN by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD works” 2 Timothy 2:14-17.

“Till I come, GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING, to exhortation, to doctrine” 1 Timothy 4:13.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. NKJV.

“. . . 14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-16.

” I say then: WALK in the Spirit, and you shall not FULFILL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you ARE LED by the Spirit, you ARE not under the law . . . 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 if we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16-18, 24-25.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17 (John 15:26).

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will SHEW you things to come. 14 He shall GLORIFY me: for he shall RECEIVE of mine, and shall SHEW it unto you” John 16:13-14.

“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“But THANKS be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:37 (35-39).

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, GRIVIOUS, TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

SUMMARY:

The message is a Kingdom charge for this ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION to LIVE VICTORIOUSLY by being LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT and GROUNDED in the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD.

It warns against deception, distraction and self-error, and calls every Believer to stay WATCHFUL, CONNECTED and ABOVE ONLY through the Holy Spirit and the Bible, so we can triumph, overcome and fulfil God’s purpose in a noisy, digitised world.

KEY POINTS

IDENTITY AND LEADERSHIP IN THIS GENERATION

We live in a gracious, graceful, smart and digitised generation. To thrive meaningfully and purposefully, we must be watchful and connected.

“For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God” [Romans 8:14]. Being LED is proof of sonship.

The BLESSED Holy Spirit is the One who HELPS us to stay ABOVE ONLY amid all the NOISE. He INTERCEDES for us, SEARCHES hearts, and GUIDES us into all truth [Romans 8:26-27; John 16:13].

THE DANGER: DECEPTION, DISTRACTION AND SELF-ERROR

Many are carried away by images, photos and videos on social media that are photoshopped, distorted, adulterated and twisted.

“YE DO ERR, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” [Matthew 22:29]. Errors come from ignorance of the WORD.

The devil PROWLS like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour [1 Peter 5:8]. We must be ALERT, VIGILANT and CAUTIOUS.

THE SOLUTION: THE TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD

Victory comes by engaging with the HOLY BIBLE — READ, STUDY and SEARCH the SCRIPTURES.

“STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD” [2 Timothy 2:15]. The WORD is BREATHED by the Holy Spirit and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, REPROOF, CORRECTION, INSTRUCTION [2 Timothy 3:16].

It is through the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD that we can do life and live godly in this TIMED GENERATION.

THE RESULT: VICTORY, TRIUMPH AND OVERCOMING

As we are LED by the Spirit and rooted in the WORD, we enter the realm of VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS [Romans 8:37].

“Thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” [1 Corinthians 15:57].

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH” [1 John 5:4].

THE WALK: SPIRIT AND WORD TOGETHER

“WALK in the Spirit, and you shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh” [Galatians 5:16].

“If ye love me, keep my commandments… I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter” [John 14:15-16].

The Spirit and the WORD work together to keep us, strengthen us, and establish us [1 Peter 5:10].

CALL TO ACTION

CHOOSE TO BE LED DAILY: Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in ALL you do. Do not walk by noise, trends or self-will. Walk by the Spirit [Galatians 5:25].
RETURN TO THE WORD: Prioritise READING, STUDYING and SEARCHING the SCRIPTURES above WATCHING AND VIEWING social media. “GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING” [1 Timothy 4:13]. Let the WORD bring self-discovery and self-recovery.
BE SOBER AND VIGILANT: Resist deception. Test every image, video and information. Be swift to discern and not transmit baseless things.
RESIST THE DEVIL, STAND FIRM: Be ALERT. When trials come, know you do not suffer alone. God will complete, confirm, strengthen and establish you [1 Peter 5:9-10].
LIVE AS MORE THAN A CONQUEROR: Declare daily: I am LED by the Spirit. I am VICTORIOUS. I am MORE THAN A CONQUEROR through Christ who LOVED me. Live to please Father God on His merit.
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: Love is shown in obedience [1 John 5:3]. His commandments are not burdensome.

THE WORK OF GRACE

September 24, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE WORK OF GRACE: ARE YOU ASHAMED OR UNASHAMED AND EMBOLDENED TO DO THE WORK?

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST [RIGHTEOUS] shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17/Emphasis Mine.

In this Kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus — I mean, concerning the affairs of this Kingdom in grace: Are you ASHAMED of the Gospel of Christ?

When last were you EMBOLDENED to make your FAITH in the Gospel of Christ KNOWN to all ABOUT you? Are you still hiding from public view as a Christ Disciple? Are you a hidden Believer of the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead?

Are you not willing to make known your RESOLVE to be an AMBASSADOR of and for Christ Jesus? Which are you? ASHAMED or UNASHAMED!

For in this Kingdom of God that is of RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit, you need not to be ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ; for the GOSPEL of Christ concerning human redemption gives the ENABLING POWER — CAPACITY, ABILITY — of God, for human DIGNITY to be ACTUALISED in His divine PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

“For the KINGDOM of God is not a matter of eating and drinking [what one likes], but of RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit. For the one who serves Christ in this way [recognizing that food choice is secondary] is acceptable to God and is approved by men” Romans 14:17-18/Amplified.

And as for me in this grace in the Kingdom, as in all situations, I am PROUDLY and awesomely EMBOLDENED to be a Disciple and AMBASSADOR of Christ Jesus by the GOSPEL.

I therefore encourage you today to be graciously and gracefully emboldened in all situations to be UNASHAMED of who you are in God and of preaching the Kingdom Gospel of Christ, because therein lies the hope of many that can be RECONCILED to God through your essence in Him in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

For as a NEW CREATION, you ARE God’s RECONCILIATION AGENCY, His dwelling EMBASSY and His AMBASSADOR, otherwise REPRESENTATIVE on earth, in the Kingdom cause of our God to establish His RIGHTEOUSNESS in humanity, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.

Blessed regards to you in the grace in the Kingdom, as you go forth and do Kingdom business unashamed, being emboldened as a Christ ambassador in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE GRACE of God has appeared that OFFERS salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say ‘NO’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to LIVE self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this PRESENT age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to REDEEM us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone DESPISE you” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“For God hath not GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND. 8 Be not thou therefore ASHAMED of the TESTIMONY of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou PARTAKER of the AFFLICTIONS OF THE GOSPEL according to the power of God; 9 who hath SAVED us, and CALLED us with an HOLY CALLING, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the GOSPEL: 11 whereunto I am appointed a PREACHER, and an APOSTLE, and a TEACHER of the Gentiles. 12 For the which cause I also SUFFER these things: NEVERTHELESS I AM NOT ASHAMED: for I know WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, and am PERSUADED that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day” 2 Timothy 1:7-12.

“But let none of you SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a CHRISTIAN, let him not be ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that JUDGMENT must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that OBEY not the GOSPEL of God?” 1 Peter 4:15-17.

“For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:10-13.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye RECONCILED to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

SUMMARY:
The message is a Kingdom charge to live UNASHAMED and EMBOLDENED as AMBASSADORS of Christ, because the GOSPEL is the POWER of God for SALVATION and the WORK OF GRACE that establishes God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in humanity.

It calls every Believer to reject fear and hiding, and to embrace their identity as God’s RECONCILIATION AGENCY — carrying RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit to a world that needs to be RECONCILED to God.

KEY POINTS

THE GOSPEL IS GOD’S POWER, NOT SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION” [Romans 1:16].

The GOSPEL REVEALS the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God from FAITH to FAITH, and “The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” [Romans 1:17].

It gives the ENABLING POWER — CAPACITY, ABILITY — of God for human DIGNITY to be ACTUALISED in His divine PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

THE KINGDOM IDENTITY: RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY

“For the KINGDOM of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit” [Romans 14:17-18].

We are not to hide as hidden Believers or Christ Disciples. We are called to be KNOWN, EMBOLDENED and UNASHAMED.

YOUR DIVINE ASSIGNMENT: GOD’S RECONCILIATION AGENCY

As a NEW CREATION, you ARE God’s RECONCILIATION AGENCY, His dwelling EMBASSY and His AMBASSADOR on earth [2 Corinthians 5:17-20].

God has given us the MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION — “be RECONCILED to God” [2 Corinthians 5:20].

“For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION” [Romans 10:10]. Our voice matters.

THE SPIRIT WE HAVE RECEIVED EMPOWERS BOLDNESS

“For God hath not GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” [2 Timothy 1:7].

“Be not thou therefore ASHAMED of the TESTIMONY of our Lord… I AM NOT ASHAMED: for I know WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED” [2 Timothy 1:8, 12].

“Yet if any man SUFFER as a CHRISTIAN, let him not be ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God” [1 Peter 4:16].

GRACE TEACHES AND COMMISSIONS US

“For THE GRACE of God has appeared… It TEACHES us to say ‘NO’ to ungodliness… and to LIVE self-controlled, upright and godly lives” [Titus 2:11-12].

Grace REDEEMS us to be a people “eager to do what is good” [Titus 2:14]. It is not passive; it mobilises us for the WORK.

THE PERSONAL DECLARATION

“I am PROUDLY and awesomely EMBOLDENED to be a Disciple and AMBASSADOR of Christ Jesus by the GOSPEL.”

The hope of many to be RECONCILED to God lies in our willingness to be UNASHAMED in all situations.

CALL TO ACTION

EXAMINE YOURSELF: Ask — ASHAMED or UNASHAMED? When last were you EMBOLDENED to make your FAITH in the Gospel KNOWN? Refuse to be a hidden Believer.
EMBRACE YOUR IDENTITY: Declare daily: I am a NEW CREATION. I am God’s RECONCILIATION AGENCY, His EMBASSY and AMBASSADOR. Walk in it.
LIVE THE KINGDOM: Demonstrate RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit. Let your life be acceptable to God and approved by men [Romans 14:18].
SPEAK THE GOSPEL: Use your MOUTH. Confess Christ. The Gospel is the POWER for SALVATION. Do not let anyone DESPISE you [Titus 2:15].
SUFFER IF NEED BE, BUT NOT IN SHAME: If you suffer as a CHRISTIAN, GLORIFY God and remain UNASHAMED [1 Peter 4:16]. The Spirit of POWER, LOVE and SOUND MIND is upon you.
GO FORTH: Do Kingdom business unashamed. Be an instrument for RECONCILIATION — that men may be SAVED and become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ [2 Corinthians 5:21].

THE MARITAL CONFLICT CONTEXT

September 24, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE MARITAL CONFLICTS CONTEXT: THE HELP-MEET [DIVINE] VS THE HELP-MATE [HUMAN] IN SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT AND PURPOSE!

“And the Lord God said, It is NOT GOOD that the man should be ALONE (in PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT); I will make him an HELP MEET (to fulfill PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT) for him” Genesis 2:18 (Emphasis Mine).

And God BLESSED them — male (Adam) and female (Eve); for in God’s marital plan — MARRIAGE IS BLESSED not CURSED, more so, it is not a CURSE as some may have acclaimed and or associated respectively because of the difficulties and challenges.

And every marital couple is CALLED to INHERIT a BLESSING — [1 Peter 3:9 (1-12)].

When God made and makes you or anything, He made and makes it good and beautiful. You are not an accident — you are of purpose, with God’s eternal Spirit in you to sense God in His realm of eternity. Hence you are a spirit being with an eternal spirit in your humanity that will never die.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. He also has planted ETERNITY in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified Classic Edition

“I will praise You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well” Psalms 139:14 [10-18]/NKJV.

And in God’s definition of the MARITAL relationship — plan, purpose and pursuit — MARRIAGE is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL and is ASSURED to be SORROW FREE in God’s eternal intent; for the BLESSING of God MAKES rich, He adds no SORROW and CONFUSION with it as the SCRIPTURES enjoin, for God is not the Author or creator of any form of CONFUSION, especially in the MARITAL context.

The conflicts and confusion that have resulted in Believers’ in Christ Jesus marital indifference, divorce and much complexity in relationships, may have all started at the foundational stage at the start or within the process of the relationship — which could have been as a result of one or both parties walking away knowingly and or unknowingly from God’s biblical definition and context, to create a very healthy relationship in spite of any differences that the individuals may come with or have but are unwilling to resolve by the Scriptural context for that relationship.

“And God BLESSED them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:28 [26-28].

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: [9] not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9 [8-12].

“The BLESSING of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” 1 Corinthians 14:33.

Sorrow is the consequence of human frail nature and deprivation, and the intent to live outside God’s Scriptural context.

Be it known today, that when the PURPOSE of a thing is MISUSED, MISUNDERSTOOD, MISCONSTRUED, MISINTERPRETED and MISAPPROPRIATED, then ABUSE and ABUSIVENESS take root and cause sorrow.

The term ABUSE means, in essence, the — ABNORMAL USE or ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR of anything from the original and prescribed intent — and in the marriage or marital relationship context, it is simply for the lack of knowledgeable understanding of God’s definition and intent [PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT] in marriage.

This is likened to, or the result of, ‘MEN’ who do not LEAD but are BOSSY, and ‘WOMEN’ who do not FOLLOW but SUBVERT and DIVERGE from their places in grace to suit individual intent and context of definition — knowingly and unknowingly, and it is contrary to Scriptural demands and context.

Hence we see some of the major reasons for extreme ‘Marital Conflict and Confusion’ in the Christian Faith, irrespective of status.

And the consequence is that our PRAYERS — our means of communion to enhance our relationship with the creator of marriage — are HINDERED and INEFFECTUAL. It means we hit the rock with a steeper climb than should have been very simple and simplified in God’s original intent.

“In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an UNDERSTANDING way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an INTELLIGENT regard for the marriage relationship], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your PRAYERS WILL NOT BE HINDERED or INEFFECTIVE” 1 Peter 3:7 [7-12]/Amplified.

Know full well that GOD WILL ONLY COMMEND WHAT HE COMMANDS.

As such, when HELP-MEET becomes HELP-MATE as a result of NO LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP to Scriptural context and demands, what then do you expect to happen in such unscriptural context?

There will be an absence of the ENABLING GRACE and EMPOWERING BLESSEDNESS of God’s WORD, to make such relationship BECOME what God intended it to be in His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT; this is what then makes every human effort and investment in time, finance, material and such like END up in CONFUSION and FRUSTRATION.

And when human intent is MADE to override God’s intent [PLANS, PURPOSES AND PURSUITS] in marital causes, it will be HINDERED [INOPERATIVE]; more so, it will become, as in many cases, a VAIN CAUSE that OUGHT not to have been started and ventured into.

That is just one of the major aspects why Apostle Paul, in his Scriptural context, made known his intent to stay on purpose by not frustrating the enabling grace that was available to him to do the gospel assignment and be fulfilled in it, as he Scripturally stated.

“I do not FRUSTRATE the GRACE of God: for if RIGHTEOUSNESS (GOD’S INTENT) come by the LAW (MAN’S DEFINITION), then Christ is DEAD in VAIN“ Galatians 2:21/Emphasis Mine.

Effective MANAGEMENT of any proven good and thriving cause, is born of the LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP that sustains it.

Meaning, if you want, as a MAN, your WOMAN to provide you the ANGELIC needed HELP-MEET, provide her the HEAVENLY atmospheric LEAD and LEADERSHIP that is desirable of Angels — [Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalm 103:20]; for ANGELS do not dwell in HELL to provide and give the good deeds as DESIRED of them from God.

You cannot hold God’s TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR and expect a heavenly outpour of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS and His BLESSEDNESS. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS.

The same is applicable too to any marital woman who WANTS a heavenly husband but is UNPREPARED and not READY to FOLLOW his LEAD and LEADERSHIP accordingly, as Sarah FOLLOWED Abraham in Scriptural context of God’s LEAD in her husband.

You cannot be keen to have a virtuous wife while you are not a faithful husband, or want to have a faithful man while you are not set to be a virtuous wife. God’s word is not bound and cannot be broken to produce effects in your marital stand in grace.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them” Romans 1:18-19.

“. . . 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any amazement . . . “ 1 Peter 3:1-12 (Ephesians 5:21-31).

“Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: But a FAITHFUL man who can find?” Proverbs 20:6.

“Who can find a VIRTUOUS woman? For her price is far above rubies” Proverbs 31:10.

TAKE TIME NOW TO PAUSE and THINK carefully on this note and context below in respects to your marital stands in the grace.

In SCRIPTURAL terms, the word ‘HELP MEET’ as in Genesis 2:18, is the same in INTERPRETATION, not in TRANSLATION, as PARACLETE as in Romans 8:26, which speaks of the Holy Spirit, who is our DIVINE HELPER; He’s our enabling HELPER in weakness and in strength, to help us meet up and be qualified for God’s demands and obligations in life and in grace.

Hence, we can say He is our HELP-MEET to bring us into God’s BLESSEDNESS and not a HELP-MATE TO COMPETE AND FIGHT with, either within or without, by any measure, in order to fulfil God’s SCRIPTURAL demands in His BLESSEDNESS.

When God made the man ADAM, He gave him an assignment that is PRINCIPLED with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY long before the woman EVE, the wife, was made.

This indicates that the male has an assignment from God, knowingly or unknowingly — ignorance is not an excuse. Hence there is the need for self-discovery before considering any marital relationship.

And it is in order to ACHIEVE the given divine assignment in BLESSEDNESS, that God provides a HELPER or HELP-MEET, as it is written:

“And the Lord God said, It is NOT GOOD that the man should be ALONE [in PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT]; I will make him an HELP MEET [to fulfill PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT] for him” Genesis 2:18/Emphasis Mine.

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities [weakness and limitations]: for we KNOW NOT what we SHOULD pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” Romans 8:26/Emphasis Mine.

We can end all these divergent confusions and daily crises in MARITAL RELATIONSHIP places when we maintain, in life and in grace, that which God has allowed us to be.

Be PROFOUNDLY and INTENTIONALLY HAPPY with what God MADE you to be for His plan, purpose and pursuit, and therein you will find meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God in Christ Jesus’ stead.

Therefore, know for sure, again and again, that God only COMMENDS obedience to what He COMMANDS. Any breaking of His Word, as Adam did to satisfy the status quo outside His BLESSEDNESS, will make God’s Word and enabling grace for the individual inoperative.

It is for this and such like reasons that many Believers today live beneath the FULLNESS made available for them by God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus — who is our REDEMPTION, DEED, Saviour and Lord.

Henceforth, let the man show forth genuine SCRIPTURAL leadership, and let the woman likewise FOLLOW the man’s lead in the marital setting. For when the Woman wants to FOLLOW and the Man is BOSSY instead of showing leadership, there will be wahala wahala — that is, trouble.

In the same scenario, when a man offers LEADERSHIP and the woman cannot submit to follow for whatever reasons, there is bound to be confusion and chaos. That is the foundation of all other conflicts and side effects respectively.

And it is only by a righteous stand in God’s order that the righteous can restore broken and shaken marital foundations to their rightful place in grace — [Psalm 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:11-14].

Our God is not the AUTHOR nor CREATOR of confusion and unnecessary self-afflicted pains as we see today maritally.

I pray that your MARITAL RELATIONSHIP will find daily meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

Blessed regards.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; [2] while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. [3] Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; [4] but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. [5] For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: [6] even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. [7] Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. [8] Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: [9] not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. [10] For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: [11] let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. [12] For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. [23] For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. [24] Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. [25] Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, [26] that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, [27] that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. [28] So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. [29] For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. [30] For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. [31] “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” [32] This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. [33] Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband” Ephesians 5:22-33/NKJV.

SUMMARY
The message is a SCRIPTURAL call to restore GOD’S ORIGINAL ORDER in marriage by returning to the DIVINE definition of HELP-MEET and rejecting the HUMAN distortion of HELP-MATE.

It teaches that marital conflict, confusion and sorrow are not God’s intent, but the result of ABUSE — the abnormal use of marriage outside of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. The foundation for a SORROW-FREE, BLESSED marriage is SCRIPTURAL LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP under God’s Word and enabling grace.

KEY POINTS

GOD’S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE IS BLESSING, NOT CURSE

God said “It is NOT GOOD that man should be ALONE” [Genesis 2:18]. He made HELP-MEET to fulfil PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT.

MARRIAGE IS BLESSED. “The BLESSING of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth NO SORROW with it” [Proverbs 10:22]. God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION [1 Corinthians 14:33].

Every marital couple is CALLED to INHERIT A BLESSING [1 Peter 3:9].

THE CORE DISTINCTION: HELP-MEET vs HELP-MATE

HELP-MEET [DIVINE]: Scriptural interpretation linked to PARACLETE [Romans 8:26]. A DIVINE HELPER who enables, supports, and helps fulfil God’s assignment without competition.

HELP-MATE [HUMAN]: A distorted version born out of NO LEADERSHIP and NO FOLLOWERSHIP. It leads to COMPETITION, FIGHT, CONFUSION and FRUSTRATION.

When HELP-MEET becomes HELP-MATE, the ENABLING GRACE and EMPOWERING BLESSEDNESS of God’s WORD is absent.

THE ROOT CAUSE OF MARITAL CONFLICT

ABUSE = ABNORMAL USE or ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR outside God’s prescribed intent.

Men: Do not LEAD but are BOSSY, abandoning RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY given to ADAM before EVE was made.

Women: Do not FOLLOW but SUBVERT and DIVERGE from their place in grace to suit individual intent.

This misuse of PURPOSE leads to hindered and INEFFECTUAL PRAYERS [1 Peter 3:7].

LEADERSHIP AND FOLLOWERSHIP IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
Effective MANAGEMENT is born of LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP.

Men: Must provide HEAVENLY atmospheric LEAD and LEADERSHIP like Angels [Hebrews 1:7, 14]. Cannot hold God’s TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR and expect RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Women: Must be READY and UNPREPARED to FOLLOW the man’s lead as Sarah FOLLOWED Abraham [1 Peter 3:6].

You cannot want a virtuous wife and not be a faithful husband, or want a faithful man and not be a virtuous wife.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF LIVING OUTSIDE GOD’S ORDER

Human intent overriding God’s intent makes the marriage HINDERED [INOPERATIVE] and a VAIN CAUSE.

Many Believers live beneath the FULLNESS God made available because they FRUSTRATE the GRACE of God [Galatians 2:21].

Confusion, divorce, indifference and “wahala” all start at the foundation.

IDENTITY AND FULFILMENT

You are not an accident. You are FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE [Psalm 139:14] with ETERNITY in your heart [Ecclesiastes 3:11].

Be PROFOUNDLY and INTENTIONALLY HAPPY with what God MADE you to be. Fulfilment comes in Christ Jesus.

SCRIPTURAL ANCHORS GIVEN

For Wives: 1 Peter 3:1-6, Ephesians 5:22-24 — submit, meek and quiet spirit, respect.

For Husbands: 1 Peter 3:7, Ephesians 5:25-28 — dwell with understanding, love as Christ loved the Church, honour.

For Both: 1 Peter 3:8-9 — be of one mind, bless, not render evil for evil, to INHERIT A BLESSING.

CALL TO ACTION

RETURN TO GOD’S DEFINITION: Repent of any ABNORMAL USE of marriage. Study Genesis 2:18 and accept marriage as HELP-MEET for PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT, not HELP-MATE for competition.
ALIGN WITH SCRIPTURAL ROLES:
Men: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. Provide godly LEADERSHIP. Love, honour, and lead your home as unto the Lord.
Women: CHOOSE FOLLOWERSHIP. Support, respect and follow your husband’s godly lead in grace.
DO SELF-DISCOVERY FIRST: Before marriage, know your divine assignment. Ignorance is not an excuse.
GUARD YOUR GRACE: Stop FRUSTRATING the enabling grace of God. Obey what He COMMANDS so He can COMMEND you.
RESTORE THE FOUNDATION: If your home is shaken, return to God’s order. Only a righteous stand in God’s order can restore broken marital foundations [Psalm 11:3].
PRAY AND DECREE: Declare daily FULFILMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS over your MARITAL RELATIONSHIP in Christ Jesus.

GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL

September 23, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL: THE DESERT LAND AWAKENING REVIVAL HAS COME AND IS COMING!

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9.

“And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship” Acts 8:26-27.

The Ministry of the GOSPEL of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, as commissioned for THE LOCAL CHURCH — which is you — that our Father God is building [Matthew 16:13-20; Ephesians 4:11-16], in Christ Jesus, is of these segments:

The Ministry to the LORD — An ACT OF WORSHIP.
The Ministry to the BODY OF CHRIST — An ACT OF DISCIPLESHIP.
The Ministry to the WORLD — An ACT OF EVANGELISM/MISSION [SOUL WINNING].

The Gospel assignments of our Lord God are enormous. However, the third segment, which is the MINISTRY TO THE WORLD through evangelism and mission outreach for soul winning, is the main context in this writ, because it is the basis to have and establish the first and second segments into reality.

And the missionary mandate for me cuts across all regions, as long as there is a soul there to minister to the well-being with the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, just as Philip did in Acts 8:5-8, 26-40. That is the joy of visiting the provincial headquarters of a friend’s Church that is under construction in a gracious community to preach the Gospel with the megaphone.

And how much I cherish going to the remote places — VILLAGES — to reach out to souls, more than merely reaching out to the municipal multitudes especially in the CITIES.

“Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every CITY and VILLAGE, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, [2] and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, [3] and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance” Luke 8:1-3/NKJV.

There in the remote places you see originality and genuine repentance, and a willingness of souls to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him WORTHILY, in Christ Jesus’ stead. And I found the same mission in Christ Jesus for humanity, as He carried out the Father God’s Gospel assignment concerning Him, as it is written in the Scriptures above in Luke and below in Matthew:

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the GOSPEL of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35.

Assuredly and certainly — The DESERT and remote NATIONS shall BOW and SERVE the Lord God. The eternal Blood of Jesus Christ for human salvation in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS belongs to all, including those in the wilderness/deserted places too.

For in God’s plan, there is NEITHER Jew nor Greek/Gentile, there is neither bond nor free, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for everyone is QUALIFIED to access God through Christ Jesus for their salvation. [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 3:10-11; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-28; Romans 1:14-15]

I am emboldened to say that despite what is going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES — for our God is not only the God of THE JEWS but also of THE GENTILES’ world, for both make up THE CHURCH OF GOD that He is raising and building in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33 (1 Corinthians 1:18-24).

The confusion in the world today has an end – for the liberation of human lives without artillery, drones, guns and bombs; and also goes beyond humanitarian and charitable aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places, including the DESERT landscape, as we see happening today in good- hearted causes.

Be it known as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS is coming to pass. If you believe, say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus’ stead. For the DESERT and REMOTE NATIONS SHALL ALSO BOW AND SERVE GOD, AS SHALL THOSE ALSO IN THE CITIES.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9.

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law. 29 IS HE THE GOD OF THE JEWS ONLY? IS HE NOT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY the CIRCUMCISION by faith, and UNCIRCUMCISION through faith” Romans 3:28-30.

“I am DEBTOR both to the GREEKS, and to the BARBARIANS; both to the WISE, and to the UNWISE. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the GOSPEL to you that are at Rome also” Romans 1:14-15.

“But now ye also PUT OFF all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have PUT OFF the old man with his deeds; 10 and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is NEITHER GREEK nor JEW, CIRCUMCISION nor UNCIRCUMCISION, BARBARIAN, SCYTHIAN, BOND nor FREE: but Christ is all, and in all” Colossians 3:8-11.

“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER JEW nor GREEK, there is NEITHER BOND nor FREE, there is NEITHER MALE nor FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:27-28.

“Then Philip went down to the CITY of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great JOY in that city . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him . . .” Acts 8:5-8, 26-40.

SUMMARY

The message is a prophetic and apostolic declaration that GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL — including the DESERT and remote nations. It calls THE LOCAL CHURCH back to her 3-fold commission, with emphasis on MISSION/EVANGELISM as the basis for WORSHIP and DISCIPLESHIP. Using Christ and Philip as models, it affirms that true revival is breaking forth in VILLAGES and DESERT PLACES, where souls respond with genuine repentance, and that God is building ONE CHURCH from both JEWS and GENTILES through the REDEMPTION and BLOOD of Jesus Christ.

KEY POINTS

THE 3 SEGMENTS OF GOSPEL MINISTRY FOR THE LOCAL CHURCH

Ministry to the LORD — An ACT OF WORSHIP

Ministry to the BODY OF CHRIST — An ACT OF DISCIPLESHIP

Ministry to the WORLD — An ACT OF EVANGELISM/MISSION [SOUL WINNING] — Matthew 16:13-20; Ephesians 4:11-16

The third segment is the main focus here, because it is the basis to establish the first two. Without reaching the lost, the Church cannot be built or discipled.

THE DESERT LAND AWAKENING REVIVAL HAS COME

Prophetic proof: Psalm 72:9 — “They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him”.

New Testament pattern: Jesus went through every CITY and VILLAGE preaching – Luke 8:1-3. He also taught in CITIES and VILLAGES – Matthew 9:35.

Philip model: Sent by an angel to the DESERT road to Gaza to meet the Ethiopian eunuch – Acts 8:26-27. He also preached in Samaria with signs, and great JOY followed – Acts 8:5-8.

Application: There is originality, genuine repentance, and willingness to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him WORTHILY in remote VILLAGES.

GOD’S SALVATION IS FOR ALL PEOPLE GROUPS

The eternal Blood of Christ in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS belongs to all, including wilderness/deserted places.

In God’s plan there is NEITHER Jew nor Greek/Gentile, bond nor free, male nor female, Barbarian nor Scythian — all are QUALIFIED to access God through Christ – Galatians 3:26-28; Colossians 3:10-11.

God is not only the God of THE JEWS but also of THE GENTILES – Romans 3:28-30. Both make up THE CHURCH OF GOD that He is raising in Christ Jesus’ stead – 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

The Gospel is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that believes, to the JEW first and also to the GREEK – Romans 1:16-17.

THE MISSIONARY MANDATE AND HEART

The missionary mandate cuts across all regions where there is a soul.

The joy is in going to provincial Churches under construction and to VILLAGES, more than only targeting municipal multitudes in CITIES.

Paul’s posture: “I am DEBTOR both to the GREEKS, and to the BARBARIANS; both to the WISE, and to the UNWISE” – Romans 1:14-15.

The GOSPEL must be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations – Matthew 24:14.

THE CONTRAST: GOD’S WAY VS THE WORLD’S WAY

The confusion in the world will end. Liberation will not come through artillery, drones, guns and bombs.

It goes beyond humanitarian aid. God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS is coming to pass to prevent POVERTY and cure SICKNESSES and DISEASES, even in the DESERT landscape.

The end of man is just the beginning of our God. DESERT and REMOTE NATIONS SHALL BOW AND SERVE GOD, AS SHALL THOSE ALSO IN THE CITIES.

CALL TO ACTION

EMBRACE THE MISSION. As THE LOCAL CHURCH, prioritise the MINISTRY TO THE WORLD. Go as Philip went — to DESERT roads, VILLAGES and cities.
BELIEVE AND DECREE. Say AMEN in Christ Jesus’ stead. Believe that God’s SALVATION is breaking forth into DESERT PLACES now.
LIVE WITHOUT PARTIALITY. Treat all as QUALIFIED in Christ. No Jew/Gentile, bond/free, male/female division in the Gospel.
PAUSE AND PONDER – SELAH. Reflect on God’s REDEMPTION plan. Let the Church be built on WORSHIP, DISCIPLESHIP and SOUL WINNING.

Final Word:
GOD’S SALVATION PLAN IS FOR ALL. The DESERT LAND AWAKENING REVIVAL HAS COME AND IS COMING. The Church is being raised from every nation, tribe and wilderness. AMEN.

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT

September 23, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT: FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS – MADE POSSIBLE IN THE JUSTIFICATION OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD – IN OUR REDEMPTION!

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, He MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Are you one of those who CAN FORGIVE but CAN’T FORGET, or who CAN’T FORGIVE and CAN’T FORGET? Do you still go FISHING in the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? I mean cutting off your nose to spite on your face? Do you want to live WHOLE again – free from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge, rancour and such like? There i is hope in REDEMPTION. You can POSSESS your WHOLENESS in Redemption again; For it i is all MADE possible in OUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in CHRIST JESUS’’ stead. AMEN.

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, government and governance – are being ruined every day and every way because of the inability to FORGIVE and to FORGET; and to move FORWARD, which is an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace to succeed.

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, RANCOUR, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like. You can set yourself FREE from nursing and living on hurt, through God’s unconditional LOVE that surpasses and transcends human comprehension and understanding as displayed in Christ Jesus’ LOVE – a love that is without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. You can then take the step of love in faith to INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY hand over the hurt and haunting of not forgiving and not forgetting to God in Christ Jesus, who has justified all – including you – in love. This is the pathway to deal with the spirit of not forgiving and forgetting – and this is applicable to all, in all matter of doing life and living godly in the context of the scripture, and not according to our own wish or intention that results in revenge, evil and wickedness.

“May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, [18] be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; [19] and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:16-19/Amplified.

“There is NO FEAR in love; but PERFECT love casteth out fear: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:18.

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease is to let JUSTIFICATION in God’s love in Christ Jesus play the means, the definitional route and the role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That is the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, ONWARDS and UPWARDS – on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all to be WHOLE again in Him.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

He did not only FORGIVE us IN our sins and shortfalls – – evils and wickedness and more – but He JUSTIFIED us, which is the antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARDS, INWARDS and ONWARDS day to day life of grace.

To JUSTIFY is to declare you guiltless, discharged and free -that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done. This is what God accomplished by the eternal DONE DEED of Christ in our REDEMPTION; to set us free with NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE attached; in order to erase our PAST, wherein our iniquity has been buried in the sea of FORGETFULNESS.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

Hence to say that the New Creation in Christ has no PAST. And when you act in the same spirit towards others, you will live free of BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such; otherwise it hunts and hurts as a cancerous disease in the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET.

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS ARE POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION!

I pray God’s grace and blessings upon you in this light. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are PASSED away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye RECONCILED to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who KNEW no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:20-21.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I SAY unto you, THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall SMITE thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, DO good to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:38-48.

“There is NO FEAR in love; but PERFECT love casteth out fear: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:18.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

SUMMARY
The message is a redemptive declaration and call to wholeness through the JUSTIFICATION we have in Christ Jesus. It teaches that FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS are not human striving, but the direct fruit of God’s DONE DEED in REDEMPTION. When we embrace our identity as a NEW CREATION with no PAST, we are set free from BITTERNESS, WRATH, REVENGE and every cancerous hurt, and we begin to walk UPWARDS, INWARDS and ONWARDS in God’s grace.

KEY POINTS

THE FOUNDATION: JUSTIFICATION IN CHRIST

God did not only FORGIVE us, He JUSTIFIED us. To JUSTIFY is to declare you guiltless, discharged and ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never sinned.

This was accomplished by the eternal DONE DEED of Christ. In REDEMPTION there is NO FISHING NET OF REMEMBRANCE attached. Our iniquity is buried in the sea of FORGETFULNESS – Micah 7:18-19.

Because of this, the New Creation in Christ HAS NO PAST – 2 Corinthians 5:17. We now have ACCESS into GRACE and PEACE with God – Romans 5:1-2.

THE PROBLEM: “FISHING ON YOUR HURT”

Refusing to FORGIVE and FORGET becomes a cancerous disease that hunts and hurts the one carrying it.

It produces BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE, RANCOR and WICKEDNESS.

Many can FORGIVE but CAN’T FORGET, or CAN’T do either. Going back to the PAST to hurt the PRESENT is like “cutting off your nose to spite your face.”

THE ANTIDOTE: GOD’S LOVE AND REDEMPTION RIGHTS

The antidote to forgive and forget with ease is to let JUSTIFICATION in God’s love in Christ Jesus define all forms of FORGIVENESS.

God’s love in Christ Jesus is unconditional, without sentiment, prejudice or dissimulation. PERFECT LOVE casts out FEAR and TORMENT – 1 John 4:18.

We are to intentionally hand over hurt to God, and walk in our REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus.

THE CALL TO ACTION: LIVE WHOLE AND RECONCILED

Forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS, and accept GOD’S forgiveness. This guarantees you graciousness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS.

Act in the same spirit towards others. When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, He makes even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him – Proverbs 16:7.

OVERCOME evil with good: FEED your enemy, GIVE drink to the thirsty, BLESS those who curse you, PRAY for those who persecute you – Romans 12:20-21, Matthew 5:44.

Be AMBASSADORS of RECONCILIATION, not carriers of revenge – 2 Corinthians 5:18-20.

Be rooted and grounded in LOVE, and experience the width, length, height and depth of Christ’s LOVE – Ephesians 3:16-19.

THE RESULT: WHOLENESS AND FORWARD MOVEMENT

Wholeness in spirit, soul and body comes when we move FORWARD — ONWARDS and UPWARDS — on what God DID in Christ.

Individuals, families, businesses, communities and nations are ruined daily because of the inability to FORGIVE and FORGET. Redemption offers the way out.

CALL TO ACTION

STOP FISHING ON YOUR HURT.
Make a decision today: NO MORE digging up the PAST. Let God bury it in the sea of FORGETFULNESS.
RECEIVE AND WALK IN JUSTIFICATION.
Declare daily: “I am guiltless, discharged and free in Christ.” Let that truth govern how you treat yourself and others.
CHOOSE LOVE IN ACTION.
Pray for those who hurt you. Bless them. Feed them. Refuse revenge. Let God’s love through you be the proof of your redemption.
BE FILLED AND ENERGIZED BY THE SPIRIT.
Ask God to strengthen your inner man so Christ can dwell in your heart and you can comprehend His love – Ephesians 3:16-19.
