WISDOM NUGGETS FOR THE YOUTH: ITS TIME TO MAKE A NEW YOU START-UP

August 2, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS FOR THE YOUTH: ITS TIME TO MAKE A NEW YOU START-UP – TO BEAR YOUR OWN YOKE – IF NOT HAPPY AT HOME!

“It is GOOD for a man that he BEAR the YOKE in his YOUTH” Lamentations 3:27.

It’s AUGUST – the Eighth Month. Adam’s START-UP was on the 8th day, while God RESTED on the 7th day after creation, as in Genesis – The Holy Scriptural Book of Beginning. It’s time to stop living for ENTITLEMENT. It’s time to be CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE, to explore and initiate that beautiful ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory – the insights and foresights that you’ve so much dreamed of becoming.

So, if you think your PARENTS are harassing and bothering you, and you think you are a grown adult, then it is time to be PRINCIPLED and shoulder adult RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY – and all those bothering problems will be resolved. Otherwise, don’t complain. Enough of the ENTITLEMENT SYNDROME. You can’t lay claim to be treated as an adult with CHILDISH behaviour. Just be informed: No parent takes or tolerates such DOUBLE STANDARDS. A life that is worth living comes at a COST – it is not a giveaway. And you can make your best day for today and tomorrow a reality when you stand up to make your day count, and account for your good at your OWN COST. Therefore, ARISE. Dust off the ENTITLEMENT SYNDROME and take a new step of faith to own your today and tomorrow by launching out to bear your own burden and carry your own yoke as a GROWN ADULT.

“When I was a CHILD, I SPAKE as a CHILD, I UNDERSTOOD as a CHILD, I THOUGHT as a CHILD: but when I BECAME a MAN (ADULT), I put away CHILDISH things” 1 Corinthians 13:11 (Emphasis Mine).

If the YOKE is easy and PARENTS are TROUBLESOME, let the YOUTH give it a go without COMPLAINS and MURMURS. You can GET or CREATE a job – it’s all worth it for your YOKE-BEARING while it is day, before the night of life falls upon you and it is too late to make your good happen for you.

NOW GIVE IT A GO.
DON’T GIVE UP.
DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF – YOU CAN BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE BY GOD, IN HIS GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS, IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It is GOOD for a man that he BEAR the YOKE in his YOUTH” Lamentations 3:27.

“When I was a CHILD, I SPAKE as a CHILD, I UNDERSTOOD as a CHILD, I THOUGHT as a CHILD: but when I BECAME a MAN (ADULT), I put away CHILDISH things” 1 Corinthians 13:11 (Emphasis Mine).

SUMMARY:

The core message is a prophetic charge to youths to embrace responsibility, accountability, and purpose, using the symbolism of AUGUST as Month 8 and Adam’s “START-UP” on the 8th day as a spiritual template.

KEY POINTS

THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

AUGUST = Month 8. The 8th day is presented as “a NEW BEGINNING”.

Adam’s START-UP was on the 8th day after God RESTED on the 7th day of creation Genesis.

Lamentations 3:27: “It is GOOD for a man that he BEAR the YOKE in his YOUTH” — this is the anchor scripture. Youth is the season to learn burden-bearing.

1 Corinthians 13:11: Maturity means putting away CHILDISH things, thoughts, and speech. Adulthood = responsibility.

THE CENTRAL CHARGE: END ENTITLEMENT, EMBRACE RESPONSIBILITY

The message confronts “ENTITLEMENT SYNDROME” directly:

Stop waiting to be given. A life worth living comes at a COST, not a giveaway.

Be CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE. Explore and initiate your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory. Pursue the insights and foresight you’ve dreamed of.

If you feel PARENTS are harassing/bothering you, and you claim to be an adult — then act like one. Be PRINCIPLED. Shoulder RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY.

Double standard rejected: You cannot demand to be treated as an adult while behaving with CHILDISHNESS. No parent tolerates that.

THE CALL TO ACTION FOR YOUTH

BEAR YOUR OWN YOKE. Don’t complain or murmur. John 9:4 principle — “work while it is day”.

GET or CREATE a job. Take ownership. This is part of your YOKE-BEARING.

Don’t waste time. The “night of life” will come when it’s too late to make your good happen.

ARRISE. Dust off entitlement. Take a step of faith. Own today and tomorrow.

THE PROMISE & ENCOURAGEMENT

When you bear responsibility from your youth, you align with God’s purpose for REST Hebrews 4.

DON’T GIVE UP. DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF. You can be the BEST YOU can be BY GOD, IN HIS GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS, IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD.

SELAH — Pause and think. Reflect on the Scriptures.

OVERALL THEME IN ONE SENTENCE

Youth is not the time for complaints and dependence. It is the 8th-day season to start up, bear your own yoke, reject entitlement, and walk in maturity, creativity, and God-given responsibility so you can fulfil purpose before it’s too late.

LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE!

August 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE!

LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”! For by GRACE, we are SAVED and by GRACE we STAND; and as we LIVE BY and LIVE THROUGH THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE, we are ensured and assured of the rights and privileges of our REDEMPTION in Principle. And this belongs to all ends of the spectrum that make up THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus – The JEWS [The CIRCUMCISION] and The GENTILES [The UNCIRCUMCISION].

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 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 3:27-30.

The dawn Month of AUGUST is the eighth month of the year and thus represents a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth [8] month in both the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven [7] months that is 31 days long.

The name AUGUST means to inspire – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS AND LORDLINESS. And in conjunction with this, AUGUST therefore is to ensure that “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” is DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like . . .

In GENESIS 1-2:3, the scripture records the wonderful acts of God in the creation of planet earth and all that is on the earth, as summed up in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all He intended to create, including man whom He also empowered to have dominion over all of creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED, taking delight in His creation – as declared in REVELATION 4:11 and ECCLESIASTES 3:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

“He has MADE everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/AMP

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH? I tell you now what I think and have come to know and understand by the Spirit of God. This is what I believe and conclude: That on the EIGHTH, man’s NEW DAY DAWNNED – born and made to begin. Meaning, the EIGHTH day was the BEGINNING of man [non-gender] to LIVE for purpose and meaning [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-2; Ecclesiastes 3:11/AMP]. And it was for man to start taking on, in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY from the REST of God on the seventh [7] day, in order to find his OWN REST when he has done God’s purpose for him [Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; Revelation 14:13]. And it was for man to EXERCISE his eminent, given and endowed authority: to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and have dominion in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive in colour and grandeur – Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was a day of great influence, affluence and significance – of honour and dignity – for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated Creator God to advance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth, to fulfil God’s given purpose and assignment. It was a DAWN DAY of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth – according to, but not limited to, these Scriptures: Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY TO – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, or university – that place you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED to AUGUST it? Or when you started that desired and precious job – how you began it on such a good note with a majestic show that you were present and capable to AUGUST it? Or that first or special date with that special person – how beautifully you carried yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how you ensured and AUGUSTED it, so that it becomes the most talked-about day for an honourable marriage, and was at the top of everyone’s lips before all invited friends and family?

It is time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK – of any other situations you dignified, accorded respect to and honoured, though not mentioned here. That is what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly. And this is how and why’ you need to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

It is this act of AUGUSTING one’s life that led the Apostle Paul to say he dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED and DIGNIFIED his MINISTERIAL OFFICE, so that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office for granted. In other words, he AUGUSTED the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS, with such grace as to ensure it was DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more – just as it is written:

“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE: 14 if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them”

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY- for a start and for a new day in man’s new beginning. When God rested to enjoy His finished work, mankind began its ambassadorial role with great chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display – being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that is of God and in God – to live and reign with dignity. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again by “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”.

I pray that as you journey through this month of August, being the eighth of the calendar year, it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty, in dignity, eminence, reverence, admiration, venerability and lordliness. A life where all things are under your control as you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace, as it is written: “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”. Jeremiah 12:12

Unlike Adam who misplaced his priority with Eve, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall shine brighter and brighter until the full glow of you is seen by all and they may behold the great eminence of God in you; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight, being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones and your disappointment to appointment. May your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your steps, uphold you, and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve. Who, after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, did not go as he was – in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform. Rather, he SHAVED HIS BEARD and exchanged his prison clothes for a dignified robe; assuring himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh – a place of HONOUR, EMINENCE, DIGNITY and REVERENCE – he would not return to prison again. And that eventually became his story. Even though he knew he was in prison, he did not imprison himself as a prisoner. Meaning, the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai, lived in him [Genesis 41:12-16; 1 John 4:4-6].

I PRAY that you have a gracious and graceful month of August in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead, as you begin “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:25-27.

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“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.

SUMMARY:

This message is a prophetic exhortation calling believers to live by faith in God’s grace, and to “August” — dignify, honour, and elevate — their lives and purpose in this eighth month. It ties together theology, identity, history, and practical application.

THE FOUNDATION: GRACE AND THE LAW OF FAITH

The core doctrine is Romans 3:27-30 and Romans 5:1-2.

By GRACE we are SAVED and by GRACE we STAND.

We are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW.

This applies to all: THE JEWS [THE CIRCUMCISION] and THE GENTILES [THE UNCIRCUMCISION] — there is one God for both.

Boasting is excluded. Peace with God, access into grace, and all rights of REDEMPTION come through faith, not works.

Other anchor texts: Romans 8:1-2 — no condemnation for those in Christ; 1 Timothy 1:8-11 — the law is good when used lawfully.

THE MEANING OF AUGUST AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EIGHTH MONTH

August is the 8th month, with 31 days, in both Julian and Gregorian calendars.

AUGUST means: to inspire REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS, LORDLINESS.

To AUGUST something is to treat it with dignity, to make it revered, admired, majestic and grand.

Theological meaning of 8: The 7th day was when God RESTED after creation Genesis 1-2:3, Revelation 4:11, Ecclesiastes 3:11.
The EIGHTH day therefore represents man’s NEW BEGINNING — the dawn of purpose, responsibility, and dominion. It is when man began his ambassadorial role to be fruitful, multiply, subdue, and have dominion Genesis 1:26-28. It is a day of OPPORTUNITY, POSSIBILITY, INFLUENCE, AFFLUENCE, HONOUR and DIGNITY.

THE CALL: AUGUST YOUR LIFE AND OFFICE

Using relatable pictures, the message asks:

How did you prepare for school, university, first job, first date, wedding? You dressed, prepared, and showed up to AUGUST those occasions.

SELAH — PAUSE AND THINK: Apply that same honour to your life now.

Example: The Apostle Paul MAGNIFIED his MINISTERIAL OFFICE Romans 11:13-14 so that no one would disdain it. He handled his calling with GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS.

We are to AUGUST this month of AUGUST by LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE — doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead.

PRAYER AND PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS FOR AUGUST
That this 8th month will be the beginning of months for you — a month of majesty, dignity, eminence, dominion.
That your path will shine brighter and brighter Proverbs 4:18 as you are justified by Christ Romans 5:1-2, so that men see God’s eminence in you and glorify the Father.
Turnaround prayers: Shame to fame, disdain to honour, failure to success, setbacks to stepping stones, disappointment to appointment.
That the Lord will order your steps like Joseph: who, though in prison, did not see himself as a prisoner. He shaved, changed his robe, and walked into Pharaoh’s palace with dignity because Jehovah-Adonai lived in him Genesis 41:12-16; 1 John 4:4.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER

The message ends with passages to meditate on:

Romans 5:1-2 — Justified by faith, we have peace and access into grace.

Romans 3:27-30 — Justification by faith for Jew and Gentile.

Romans 8:1-2 — The law of the Spirit of life sets us free.

2 Timothy 2:4-5 — Strive lawfully as a soldier.

1 Corinthians 9:25-27 — Run to obtain an incorruptible crown; keep your body in subjection.

1 Corinthians 10:32-33 — Give no offence to Jews, Gentiles, or the Church of God.

IN ONE SENTENCE

At this dawn of the 8th month, you are called to stop living by circumstances and start LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE — believing who you are in Christ, walking with dignity, and AUGUSTING your life, calling, and season so that God’s glory is seen through you.

HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – IN THE GRACE!

August 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – IN THE GRACE!

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

I WELCOME YOU SPECIALLY by the scriptures of Revelation 19:9-10 and Philippians 2:16, to the DAWN of the eighth [8] month in the year of our Lord 2026; For the Month of AUGUST – thus signifying a NEW DAWN MONTH to partake of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

And as we journey through AUGUST, let us remember: “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – in grace, as we do life and live godly in Him.

The Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year, represents a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth month in both the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that has 31 days.

And it is my earnest PRAYER as we have stepped into this month, that we hold on to that PRINCIPLE in grace that will help and keep us to do life and live godly in Him.

The name AUGUST thus creates an inspiring, revealing and empowering context of grace – as being sanctified – set apart for uniqueness and class in – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS AND LORDLINESS. And concerning the matter of “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS”, it is in this that we are ensured and assured in grace to AUGUST – that is, to be DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND, LORDLY and all such like.

And through this month of AUGUST, I will be exploring how we can HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS in every aspect of our doing life and living godly in His grace. For it is in our HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS that we experience the genuine spirit of prophecy – unadulterated, uncompromising, unpolluted and without sentiments, prejudice, or dissimulation. And it is simply because, in grace, we have A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to ensure us of God’s BLESSEDNESS, as it is written:

“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.

And one major principles of HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE in grace unwaveringly, as it is written:

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

Therefore, in this Month of AUGUST, I trust that you will get yourself ready for the teaching journey on the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s grace in Christ Jesus and on what “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST” will produce.

Welcome once again to the month of AUGUST! And may you find every reason to ensure and assure yourself that as you HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS, you will experience the blessedness of grace -in being REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and all such like.

Be blessed in grace as we explore this truth through the month, in grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all” Philippians 2:13-17.

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the law among my disciples . . . 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no light in them” Isaiah 8:16-20.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“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” 2 Timothy 1:8-11.

“I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 even as THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST WAS CONFIRMED IN YOU: 7 so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:4-9.

“Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 HOLDING THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:8-9.

“For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 but a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9 HOLDING FAST THE FAITHFUL WORD as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers” Titus 1:7-9.

SUMMARY

The entire message is a prophetic welcome and charge into the 8th month, August — positioned as a “NEW DAWN MONTH” to partake of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

THE KEY POINTS

WELCOME & SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION

The message opened by welcoming people into August 2026 using 2 anchors:

Revelation 19:9-10 — “THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the spirit of PROPHECY”

Philippians 2:16 — “HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE”
This establishes that August is a season to live, speak, and demonstrate Jesus.

THE MEANING OF AUGUST

8th month = NEW BEGINNING. One of 7 months with 31 days. In both JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars.

Name “AUGUST” carries a grace context of being sanctified/set apart for: REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, GRANDNESS, LORDLINESS.

Therefore, to “AUGUST” means to walk as DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND, LORDLY — a product of holding forth Jesus.

THE CORE PRINCIPLE FOR THE MONTH

The earnest prayer is that we hold on to PRINCIPLE in grace to “do life and live godly in Him.”
The teaching journey for August will explore how to HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS in every aspect of life.

Key truths established:

Holding forth the Testimony of Jesus = Experiencing the genuine spirit of prophecy — unadulterated, uncompromising, without prejudice.

Reason: Because we have “A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” — 2 Peter 1:19-21. Scripture is God-breathed, not private interpretation.

One major way to do this: HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE unwaveringly — Philippians 2:16, so our labour is not in vain.

THE EXPECTED OUTCOME/BLESSEDNESS

As you hold forth the testimony of Jesus, you will experience the blessedness of grace manifested as being REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND, etc.
It’s a call to get ready for the “teaching journey on the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s grace in Christ Jesus.”

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER

The message is backed with a cloud of witnesses:

Philippians 2:13-17 — God works in us, shine as lights, holding forth the Word of Life

Revelation 19:9-10 & 12:11 — Testimony of Jesus + Word of their testimony = overcoming

Isaiah 8:16-20 — Bind the Testimony. To the Law and Testimony!

2 Timothy 1:8-11 — “BE NOT ASHAMED OF THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD”

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 — The Testimony of Christ was confirmed in you

1 Timothy 1:18-20, 3:8-9 & Titus 1:7-9 — Holding faith, holding the mystery of faith, holding fast the faithful word

IN ONE SENTENCE:

August is a NEW DAWN to intentionally HOLD FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS by holding forth the Word of Life. As we do this in grace, we walk in the sanctified, majestic identity of “AUGUST” and experience the unadulterated spirit of prophecy and God’s blessedness.

Tone: Prophetic, empowering, teaching, and celebratory. It’s both a welcome and a charge.

THE PATH OF TRUE LIFE

July 31, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE PATH OF TRUE LIFE: FOUND IN GOD’S PRESENCE AND AT HIS RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“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.

Do you want to do life with God?
Do you want to live godly with God?
Do you want to access God and abide in Him?
Do you really want all things that pertain to doing life and godliness that have been made available to us by God’s divine power in Christ Jesus?
Do you want to ensure that God’s precious promised BLESSEDNESS are readily accessible, reachable and effortless by His divine nature?
If your answer is YES – as mine is – then we need to follow His set PATH OF LIFE for us in His divine plan, purpose and pursuit. You need to follow His set life path and way, for He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

“The STEPS of a [GOOD and RIGHTEOUS] man are DIRECTED and ESTABLISHED by the Lord, And He DELIGHTS in his WAY [and BLESSES his PATH]” Psalms 37:23/Amplified

And God’s intent to direct and order our path to His set plan, purpose and pursuit for our lives, is to enable us to have His FULNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOREVER MORE – and these are found and ensured in the following context:

Living within HIS PRESENCE as a lifestyle, by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Living within HIS RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is in Christ Jesus.

For the path of the righteous in God’s set plan in Christ Jesus will bring forth the dawn of day and the dawn of life that we earnestly desire and crave to attain in Him in Christ Jesus.

“But the PATH of the JUST is as the SHINING light, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day . . .” Proverbs 4:18-23/Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I say to you today, that for the unspeakable, indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible, COMPLETE JOY and UNENDING PLEASURES of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, you and I need to practise the lifestyle of LIVING WITHIN GOD’S PRESENCE. And God’s PRESENCE involves two things:

Being LED by the Holy Spirit 24/7;
Ensuring we STAY WITHIN the bounds of God’s RIGHT HAND, which is His RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead.

Meaning: not in our own man-made religious dogma, denominational creeds and bye-laws, and traditions that make the WORD of God of no effect in us.

It is my earnest PRAYER today that you are awakened to enjoy God’s set part of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the called according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

“For MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are HIGHER than the earth, so are MY WAYS HIGHER than YOUR WAYS, and MY THOUGHTS than YOUR THOUGHTS. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off” Isaiah 55:8-13.

SUMMARY:

This message is a prophetic call and theological exhortation to embrace a Spirit-led, Christ-centred life of abiding in God’s Presence and walking in His righteousness, in order to access the fulness of joy and unending pleasures that God has prepared for believers.

CENTRAL THEME

The entire message is anchored on Psalm 16:11: “in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore.”
It presents “THE PATH OF TRUE LIFE” as being found exclusively in two realities: Living within God’s PRESENCE and Living within His RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus.

KEY POINTS

The Basis: God’s Divine Provision in Christ
By God’s divine power in Christ Jesus, He has already made available“all things that pertain unto life and godliness” 2 Peter 1:3. Believers are called to access these precious promises, blessings, and the divine nature effortlessly. This access is not through human effort but through alignment with God’s plan.
The Twofold Context of God’s Presence
To walk in God’s set plan, purpose and pursuit, the message outlines 2 non-negotiables:
Being LED by the Holy Spirit 24/7 — Romans 8:14. This is true worship “in spirit and in truth” — John 4:23-24.
STAYING WITHIN the bounds of God’s RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS — which is Christ Himself 1 Corinthians 1:30. This rejects man-made religion, dogma, creeds and traditions that make the Word of no effect Romans 10:3-4.
The Outcome: God’s Intent for Our Lives
God directs and orders our stepsPsalm 37:23 so that we may experience:

FULNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOREVERMORE

The “dawn of day and the dawn of life” — a progressive shining like Proverbs 4:18

Participation in God’s purpose: foreknown, predestinated, called, justified and glorified Romans 8:28-30

Seated with Christ in “HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 2:6, blessed with all spiritual blessings Ephesians 1:3

The Contrast: Religion vs. Relationship
The message warns against“man-made religious dogma, denominational creeds and bye-laws”. True life is not found in establishing our own righteousness, but in submitting to God’s righteousness in Christ Romans 10:4.
SUPPORTING SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION

The message is saturated with scripture to validate every point:

Access & Fellowship: 1 Corinthians 1:9, 2 Peter 1:1-4

Divine Revelation: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

The Example of Christ: Mark 1:35, Luke 9:28-29 — Jesus prioritised prayer and presence

God’s Higher Ways: Isaiah 55:8-13 — God’s thoughts and ways are higher, and His Word accomplishes His purpose

Morning Devotion: Psalm 5:1-3 as a pattern for seeking God first

TONE AND APPLICATION

The tone is urgent, declarative, and pastoral. It moves from doctrine to personal application with direct questions: “Do you want to do life with God?”
It concludes with a prayer for awakening and the Hebrew word SELAH — PAUSE AND THINK, inviting deep reflection.

DILIGENCE AND PLANNING

July 31, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DILIGENCE AND PLANNING: PRINCIPLES THAT ENSURES AND ASSURE KINGDOM PROSPERITY!

“The PLANS of the DILIGENT lead surely to ABUNDANCE [PROSPERITY] and ADVANTAGE [OPPORTUNITY], But everyone who ACTS IN HASTE [SHORT CUTS] comes surely to POVERTY” Proverbs 21:5/Amplified.

If you’ve not planned to succeed and excel in anything worth engaging, know also that you’ve equally planned to fail accordingly. Hence there’s no need to commit to anything that’s not planned, and where preparedness is not ensured and assured. Otherwise, you will undermine prudence – the act of managing the resources – and you will also undermine diligence to accomplish the set task. Planning creates structure. Preparation creates systems, principles and order. Diligence creates the operating factor – the person or persons – to make the process a reality, which in essence makes it tangible as set.

Diligence is being smartly and consistently consistent with a given task, within a given time. So, it’s not about hard working to nothing, but about smart working to something that is resolved within a given time. Hence, planning is an inescapable task to be built in to achieve maximum results – results that are done effortlessly, and without sweat, stress, unnecessary excuses or explanation.

“Do you see a man DILIGENT and SKILLFUL in his BUSINESS? He will stand before KINGS [HONOUR, NOBLE]; he will not stand before obscure [MEAN, UNPRODUCTIVE, LAZY, SLOTHFUL, WISHFUL THINKER’S] men” Proverbs 22:29/Amplified Classic Edition/Emphasis Mine.

“The horse is PREPARED for the DAY OF BATTLE, But deliverance and victory belong to the Lord” Proverbs 21:5, 29/Amplified.

“But, beloved, we are CONFIDENT of better things concerning you, yes, things that ACCOMPANY SALVATION, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not UNJUST [UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope UNTIL THE END, 12 that you do NOT become SLUGGISH [SLOTHFUL], but IMITATE those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12.

Prosperity is not by a shortcut, neither is it given to the lazy, slothful and sluggard. And it is also not for the haphazard person, but for a person of diligence – working through planning and working through preparation. You cannot plant a crop without cultivating [tilling] the ground to ensure the desired intent. There is a process in all matters of life concerning things that are real, tangible and meant to be durable and sustainable. Anything contrary to process, does not have a foundation for being genuine, trustworthy and excellent at the final outcome.

“He who TILLS [CULTIVATES] his land will have plenty of bread, But he who FOLLOWS WORTHLESS things LACKS common sense and GOOD judgment” Proverbs 12:11/Amplified.

“He who CULTIVATES his land will have plenty of bread, but he who FOLLOWS WORTHLESS people and PURSUITS will have poverty enough. 20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who MAKES HASTE to be rich [AT ANY COST] shall not go unpunished. 21 To have respect of persons and to show partiality is not good, neither is it good that man should transgress for a piece of bread. 22 He who has AN EVIL and COVETOUS eye HASTENS to be rich and knows not that want will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22/Amplified Classic Edition.

A lasting, durable and impactful Kingdom prosperity of God does not become a reality by quoting scriptural texts and references [3 John 1:2; Psalms 25:37; Psalms 37:25; John 10:10; Psalms 23]. It comes by the PRINCIPLE of diligence through planning, resulting from preparation – that is how vision is turned to mission, mission is turned to commission, and commission is turned to impact, reality and tangibility.

“THE PLANS of the mind and ORDERLY THINKING belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue . . . 3 Roll your WORKS upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will CAUSE your THOUGHTS to BECOME AGREEABLE to His will, and] so shall your PLANS be ESTABLISHED and SUCCEED . . . 9 A man’s mind PLANS his way, but the Lord DIRECTS his STEPS and MAKES them SURE” Proverbs 16:1, 3, 9/Amplified Classic Edition.

Give yourself to smart planning of the work [task], and by preparing the work, it enables the process of diligence to measure up to the smartly set timeframe for accomplishments. When measured with prudence, you will see thoughtful management of the available or given resources for the task – without waste and losses which occur when it is otherwise.

As a Pastor, I have chosen to PREPARE always, then PLAN out the process, and then commit to DILIGENCE with PRUDENCE for the task before me. For effective prudence, the management of God’s given resources in terms of – time, finance (cash/kind), people, materials [equipment] and effort (talent/skills) – must not be undermined by any means. To accomplish the set plan, purpose and pursuit, the principle of responsibility and accountability cannot be undermined. There is no room for any form of shortcut in any Kingdom process with God. The task of stewardship, responsibility and accountability cannot be taken for granted under God, in the grace of Christ Jesus’ stead. Do not create an unrighteous path and call it righteous. God does not permit such acts of perversion in the Kingdom. They ignite the wrath of God.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS [CUSTODIANS] of the mysteries of God” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men, who SUPPRESS the TRUTH [PROCESS] in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 1:18/NKJV/Emphasis Mine.

It is my earnest PRAYER that you awaken from a slumbering state to prosper in all dimensions in the grace of Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. Ensure DILIGENCE and PLANNING, and PRINCIPLES that ensure AND assure KINGDOM PROSPERITY – without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. [3 John 1:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Luke 2:52]

Blessed reading.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The STEPS of a good man are ORDERED by the Lord, And He DELIGHTS in his way” Psalms 37:23.

“A man’s STEPS are of the Lord; How then can a man understand his own way?” Proverbs 20:24.

“O Lord, I know the WAY of man is NOT in himself; It is NOT in man who WALKS to direct his OWN steps” Jeremiah 10:23.

SUMMARY:

This message is a Kingdom mandate and doctrinal teaching on DILIGENCE AND PLANNING as the non-negotiable principles that ensure and assure lasting, durable and impactful prosperity in God.

CENTRAL THESIS

The message is anchored on Proverbs 21:5: “The PLANS of the DILIGENT lead surely to ABUNDANCE and ADVANTAGE, But everyone who ACTS IN HASTE comes surely to POVERTY.”
It argues that Kingdom prosperity is not automatic, accidental, or achieved by quoting scriptures alone. It is the direct product of applying Godly PRINCIPLES — specifically DILIGENCE, PLANNING, and PREPARATION — under the direction of the Lord.

THE 3 OPERATING PILLARS
PLANNING — Creates STRUCTURE
Planning is presented as inescapable.To not plan to succeed is to plan to fail. Plans of the mind belong to man, but their establishment and success come when rolled upon the Lord Proverbs 16:1-3,9. Planning sets the course and prevents waste.
PREPARATION — Creates SYSTEMS, PRINCIPLES and ORDER
Illustrated by“The horse is PREPARED for the DAY OF BATTLE” Proverbs 21:31 and “He who TILLS his land will have plenty of bread” Proverbs 12:11.
Preparation ensures that when opportunity comes, the system is ready. No crop without cultivation.
DILIGENCE — Creates the OPERATING FACTOR
Diligence is defined as being “smartly and consistently consistent with a given task, within a given time.” It is smart work, not just hard work.
Scriptural backing: “Do you see a man DILIGENT and SKILLFUL in his BUSINESS? He will stand before KINGS” Proverbs 22:29.
“Show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope UNTIL THE END” Hebrews 6:11.

Together: Vision → Mission → Commission → Impact, Reality and Tangibility.

KEY CONTRASTS AND WARNINGS
What Kingdom Prosperity is NOT:
Not for the lazy, slothful, sluggard, haphazard person, or those who take shortcuts Proverbs 28:20. Not produced by confession or quoting texts without corresponding action.
What Undermines It:
Lack of prudence — the act of managing resources. Waste, losses, and following worthless pursuits Proverbs 28:19.
Moral Boundary:
No room for shortcuts or creating an “unrighteous path and calling it righteous.” This suppresses truth and ignites the wrath of God Romans 1:18. Stewardship, responsibility and accountability cannot be taken for granted 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

STEWARDSHIP & PRUDENCEINPRACTICE

Effective prudence demands managing all of God’s given resources: time, finance (cash/kind), people, materials, and effort (talent/skills).
The author, as a Pastor, models: PREPARE → PLAN → DILIGENCE with PRUDENCE.
Prosperity must be without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. [equipment]

GOD’S ROLEINTHE PROCESS

While man plans, the Lord orders the steps Psalm 37:23, Proverbs 20:24.
“The way of man is NOT in himself; It is NOT in man who WALKS to direct his OWN steps” Jeremiah 10:23.
Deliverance and victory ultimately belong to the Lord Proverbs 21:31, and God is not unrighteous to forget your labour of love Hebrews 6:10.

CONCLUSION & CALLTOACTION

The message closes with a prayer for awakening from slumber to prosper in “all dimensions” 3 John 1:2.
Final charge: Ensure DILIGENCE and PLANNING, and the PRINCIPLES that ensure and assure KINGDOM PROSPERITY.

IN SUMMARY

This is a call to abandon religious passivity, shortcuts and sloth. It positions diligence, planning, and preparation as the spiritual and practical infrastructure for Kingdom prosperity. When these principles are applied in accountability and stewardship, under God’s direction, they produce sustainable, honourable, and tangible results that glorify God and stand before kings.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

July 29, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Do not be deceived and mistaken anymore by anyone – because you ARE your own PROPHET. Meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, the majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondage in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO-CALLED PROPHETS, who unknowingly are more like FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO-CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God, by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGERS with His message, which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredit the essence of PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION and MANIFESTATION are not the same, meaning they are contrary in each TESTAMENT (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising the patterns of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP :
The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in the civic governance of the people),

The PRIEST (To minister To God on behalf of the People)

The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people).

And more importantly, none of them, nor the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD, were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit came upon these three sects as and when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It came UPON them ONLY. It Never LIVED in them.

And the PROPHET, as per this context, in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that came UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL – that is, FORE-TELLING – in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORETELL, which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving the immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God did not leave His people in limbo but gave direction for their journey to fulfill His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all these in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION, which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS –THE RESULT AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET, differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God, in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide and guard the respective individual and collective body. We are also given the right to access God unhindered, individually and collectively, with no need to bypass any person. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT on any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCE of any SORT – to discern if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET is ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL – FORTH TELLING – in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH-TELL is a verb and it means to tell forth; that is, to publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL – the Good News – of that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION, the result of which is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there is no fear, threat, complex or unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and WILL in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need none of such ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be open to EXAMININATION indicates error, ignorance, pride, rudeness, self-egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It is unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or to have a PROPHETIC message which I call ‘SO-CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of not being diligent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA N Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practiced are unbiblical and unscriptural and they result in FORTUNE-TELLING – FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER. This is the act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods such as sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOOD and many unfortunately, who do not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit, have become victims. They are lured into such bondages with all forms of fear and phobias in order to get them to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT – that is, to EXAMINE – without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God’s, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 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 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine)..

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“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.

Further Scriptural Reading: Ephesians 4:7-16; Revelation 19:10; Isaiah 8:20. Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 10:23. 1 Corinthians 14:36-40. 1 John 4:1-3. 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; 1 Corinthians 14:2-4; Joel 2:28-29; John 7:37-39; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27; Ezekiel 11:19-20; Ezekiel 36:26-27;

SUMMARY:

This is a doctrinal charge and warning to the Church on how to discern true prophecy and why the New Testament believer is not meant to be deceived by counterfeit prophetic acts.

THE CORE WARNING: YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET

The opening charge is that you are not to be deceived. Because the Holy Spirit LIVES IN YOU, you have the responsibility and right to EXAMINE, THAT IS, JUDGE THE SPIRIT before you blindly affirm any prophecy.
Scripture: “Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE” — [1 Corinthians 14:29].
Fear has no place. The Spirit in you assures, ensures and sets free.

THE PROBLEM: SO-CALLED PROPHETS AND FORTUNE-TELLING

Many innocent Christians have ended up in bondage chasing miracles from SO-CALLED PROPHETS. These are not genuine prophets of God. Their unscriptural acts and vices expose people in their vulnerability.
Their operation is closer to FORTUNE-TELLING — palmistry, crystal balls, sorcery, spells, witchcraft [Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20]. This is FRAUD AND FALSEHOOD.
People are lured with fear, phobias, threats and intimidation because they do not READ, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD’S WORD.
God’s genuine prophet is called and sent as a messenger with God’s message and does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET: FORE-TELLING

Scriptural Basis: The essence of prophet and prophetic ministry is accredited in both Testaments [Ephesians 4:11-16], but their OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION AND MANIFESTATION are not the same [1 Corinthians 12:4-7].

OLD TESTAMENT STRUCTURE:
There were three leadership offices:

THE KING — to oversee, protect and defend in civic governance.

THE PRIEST — to minister to God on behalf of the people.

THE PROPHET — to HEAR and RECEIVE THE WORD from God for the people.

KEY DIFFERENCE: None in the Old Testament were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT [John 3:3-8, 16-18].
The Holy Spirit CAME UPON them only when needed to accomplish God’s purpose in their jurisdiction. It never LIVED in them.

FUNCTION: The Old Testament prophet was to FORE-TELL — to predict as instructed, to tell the future before it occurs, and to declare God’s plan for immediate or future purposes. God did not leave His people in limbo; He gave direction for their journey.
All of this was part of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT TOWARDS HUMAN REDEMPTION, which was fulfilled in CHRIST JESUS [Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25].

NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET:FORTH TELLING

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS — THE RESULT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. Redemption is fulfilled.

KEY DIFFERENCES:

Indwelling Spirit: Believers today are born of God, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide and guard us individually and corporately.
Direct Access: We have the right to access God unhindered, with no need to bypass any person.
Discernment: By the indwelling Spirit and the Word, every believer CAN MAKE JUDGEMENT on any prophecy to discern if it is of God.

FUNCTION: The New Testament prophet is ONLY IN A POSITION TO SPEAK FORTH — FORTH-TELL.
To FORTH-TELL means to publish abroad, make known, spread, and broadcast the GOSPEL — the Good News of what Christ has fulfilled in Redemption.
The result of genuine New Testament prophecy is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION AND COMFORT [1 Corinthians 14:3-4].
There is no fear, threat, complex or manipulation.

Because we live in the realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL AND AUTHENTICATE GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND WILL IN CHRIST [1 Corinthians 2:9-10], we do not need Old Testament prophetic acts.
Genuine prophetic prophecy will always point to JESUS, not to self, ego or personality [Revelation 19:10].

THE TEST: EXAMINE EVERY PROPHECY

Any prophecy that is not open to EXAMINATION shows signs of error, ignorance, pride and self-egoism [Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29].
Every prophecy MUST BE EXAMINED IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD [Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21].
Be like the BEREAN CHRISTIANS who searched the Scriptures daily to verify if things were so [Acts 17:10-13].

THE FINAL CHARGE

It is absurd that some ministers are practicing Old Testament prophetic patterns on New Testament believers. These dubious acts lead people into bondage and fear.
Dear Believer: You have the right in Christ to JUDGE WITHOUT BEING JUDGEMENTAL. If you affirm error, the consequence is yours — God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION [1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29].
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT IN NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.
“For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” — [2 Timothy 1:6-7].
“There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear” — [1 John 4:17-18].

THE BOTTOM LINE IN ONE LINE:

Old Testament prophecy was FORE-TELLING by the Spirit UPON men. New Testament prophecy is FORTH TELLING the finished work of Christ by the Spirit IN men. Test everything by the Word, point everything to Jesus, and reject fear.

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR

July 27, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

There is nothing as dangerous as living in error, being mistaken, and being taken up as PREY — and becoming the VICTIM of the ENEMY and his COHORTS — because of one’s knowing or unknowing shade of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and vulnerability.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 My PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . “ Isaiah 5:11-16.

There is danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDERSTANDING of the context of a thing. It will otherwise expose you to danger and make you vulnerable to all manner of deceptions, adulteration, delusions, counterfeits, falsehoods and such like that are out there —

Those who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like a roaring lion, and manifesting as angels of light when in reality they are angels of darkness. Others come as Ministers of God while they are under the enclave of satan and his cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. [Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4]

It is imperative for you to come to terms with the reality of the world about you in light of God’s Word, to avoid walking in error.

You need to INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY resolve to KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF — to enable you to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead.

That is the place of honour, dignity and nobility that was found in the believers of Berea in Acts 17:11.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . “ Isaiah 5:11-16.

“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 3:14-17.

“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 8:31-32.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

SUMMARY:
The message teaches us that Ignorance of Scripture is dangerous. Error, deception, and captivity are the direct result of lacking the Word. The only safeguard is to INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY know, study, and live by the Scriptures for yourself.

KEY POINTS OF THE MESSAGE

THE ROOT OF ERROR: NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES

Jesus’ Warning: “Ye do ERR, NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” [Matthew 22:29].
Mistakes, false doctrine, and missteps come from biblical ignorance.

God’s Controversy: God has a controversy with people because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land [Hosea 4:1].

The Consequence: “My PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE” [Hosea 4:6] and “gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE” [Isaiah 5:13].

THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE:YOUBECOME PREY

Living in error makes you:

PREY — taken advantage of

VICTIM — of the ENEMY and his COHORTS
This happens through shades of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and vulnerability.

The Deceivers: They come as wolves in sheep’s clothing [Matthew 7:15], like a roaring lion [1 Peter 5:8], as angels of light when they are angels of darkness, and as false Ministers of God under Satan’s enclave [2 Corinthians 11:13-15].
Without scriptural KNOW-HOW and UNDERSTANDING, you are exposed to deception, adulteration, delusions, counterfeits, and falsehoods.

THE SOLUTION: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FORYOURSELF

It’s Imperative: You must come to terms with reality in light of God’s Word to avoid walking in error.

It’s Intentional: You must INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY resolve to KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF.
No one can live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead for you.

The Berean Model: They were called more NOBLE because they RECEIVED the word with READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY [Acts 17:11]. Honor, dignity, and nobility are found there.

THE POWER AND PROFIT OF THE WORD

The Word of God:

BUILDS you up and gives you an INHERITANCE among the sanctified [Acts 20:32]

APPROVES you — “STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth NOT to be ASHAMED” [2 Timothy 2:15]

MAKES you WISE unto SALVATION and makes the man of God PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED [2 Timothy 3:15-17]

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING

Matthew 22:29 — Error comes from not knowing Scripture or God’s power.
Hosea 4:1, 6 — No knowledge = destruction and rejection.
Isaiah 5:13 — No knowledge = captivity and dryness.
2 Timothy 2:15 — Study to be approved.
2 Timothy 3:14-17 — Scripture is for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction.
John 8:31-32 — Continue in the Word = know truth = be free.
Acts 17:10-12 — Daily searching of Scripture = nobility and belief.

FINAL CHARGE

Do not depend on second-hand knowledge.
Do not live vulnerable.
KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF.
That is how you avoid error, resist deception, and walk in honour, dignity, freedom, and the power of God.

PRAYING FOR YOU

July 24, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRAYING FOR YOU: FOR AN EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION TO LIFE AND GRACE MATTERS!

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in THE POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

WORDS matter in the kingdom and in grace.

Indeed, WORD FORMULATION and COMMUNICATION define you, every day as you endeavour to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in grace.

And there is SATISFACTION in the FRUIT of our SAYINGS — our COMMUNICATION — for it defines our TODAY and TOMORROW.

Hence we must WATCH OVER our WORDS, so that they may do us EARTHLY GOOD and HEAVENLY GOODNESS.

And to be EFFECTUAL in our WORD OF FAITH COMMUNICATION is to be SUCCESSFUL in ACCOMPLISHING — producing or being capable of producing — the desired and intended results in grace.

It thus means that EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION is OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE to your THRIVING, FLOURISHING and FULFILMENT if you are to experience MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING living as a Believer in Christ Jesus’ stead.

Let us recall a PURE EXAMPLE for our living as found in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

For while in His humanity, He was COMMUNICATING GRACIOUSNESS in the midst of all odds and contrary, to SILENCE the religion and sectarianism of His days; and to DEMONSTRATE HOW to communicate on EARTHLY AFFAIRS with HEAVENLY REALITIES, by the MYSTERY OF FAITH.

For where others might be communicating SWEAR WORDS, FOUL WORDS, FAITHLESS WORDS, HOPELESS WORDS and LOVELESS WORDS, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS and CREEDS, and such like UNSCRIPTURAL WORDS, Jesus was TESTIFYING and COMMUNICATING HEAVENLY GRACIOUS WORDS to life situations in every phase of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in His humanity.

And the Scripture BEARS Him witness in this ACT OF COMMUNICATION.

“And ALL BARE Him (Jesus) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

And to COMMUNICATE is to — SPEAK, SAY, TALK, DECLARE, ANNOUNCE — forth to life MATTERS — challenges and situations — by your FAITH in the WORD of God, in Christ Jesus’ stead, in order to get EFFECTUAL RESULTS.

For FAITH is to ACT CORRESPONDINGLY on what you BELIEVE of the WORD of God accordingly in context.

FAITH is ACTIVE while TO BELIEVE is PASSIVE.

And TO BELIEVE is to be PREGNANT WITH THE WORD which, by EXERCISING FAITH, THE CONTENT IN CONTEXT MUST DELIVER UNHINDERED.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

That MATTER, or THE MATTER OF LIFE, that appears as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACE — is classed as LONG-STANDING OBSTACLE to your path to EFFECTUAL and SUCCESSFUL WELL-BEING.

And for your MEANINGFUL TRIUMPH and VICTORY, it requires FAITH COMMUNICATION to ensure you have an EFFECTUAL — productive and results-oriented — ATMOSPHERE in your PURPOSEFUL walk of faith in God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:23-24.

And to COMMUNICATE to your life MATTERS — challenges and situations — is the only means to EFFECTUAL (PRODUCTIVE) RESULTS that are free of sorrow, stress and sweat, in matters of DOING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

All this is simply because VICTORY and TRIUMPH HAVE BEEN WROUGHT — meaning A DONE DEED — in Christ Jesus, and ours is to live daily in the affirmative to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE it by TESTIFYING to it through the ACKNOWLEDGING (ACKNOWLEDGEMENT) of the good done in us by God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Those who OVERCAME in Bible days did not only believe in the blood of their redemption in Christ Jesus but TESTIFIED to the TESTIMONY of their redemption before the devil and his cohorts in grace.

And the TESTIMONY of their redemption is nothing other than Jesus Christ.

And that is the true SPIRIT OF PROPHECY — TESTIFYING [COMMUNICATING] of what God has done in you, is doing in you and will do through you by His Word and the indwelling Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus.

And the Believers of God in Christ Jesus’ stead have the SURE and ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY to SPEAK [COMMUNICATE] forth by faith, in DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, as they communicate their VICTORY as being VICTORIOUS in grace, and not as VICTIMS — for this is the HOW to OVERCOME the camouflage of the world and its daily challenges.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:12.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Revelation 19:10.

“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 [COMMUNICATED] as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Emphasis Mine.

“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.

It is upon the above KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the scriptural context that I therefore PRAY FOR YOU today, just as the Apostle Paul prayed for Philemon in Philemon 1:4-6, that you might come into the knowledge and understanding of having EFFECTUAL RESULTS in all life dealings in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

That is how to articulate Abrahamic BELIEF and FAITH to turn things around — even that which was contrary to the natural law concerning Sarah’s womb — in order for her to give birth again after the time to do so had passed, by CALLING [SAYING, DECLARING, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING, TESTIFYING, COMMUNICATING] the THINGS that are NOT as though they WERE, in grace.

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE and therefore SPEAK [COMMUNICATE]” 2 Corinthians 4:13/Emphasis mine.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by GRACE; to the end the PROMISE might be SURE to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have MADE thee a father of many nations,) before Him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH [COMMUNICATED] THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE . . . ” Romans 4:16-25/Emphasis mine.

Therefore, both in THOUGHTS and in WORDS, COMMUNICATE to life circumstances by FAITH in grace to our God in Christ Jesus, for He who SEARCHES the hearts and minds of our being HEARS our communication to the heavenly, for our EARTHLY OUTPOUR.

The WORDS OF FAITH must DWELL RICHLY in your heart and mind, for with the heart you BELIEVE [CONCEIVE] the words of VICTORY, TRIUMPH and such like, and with the MOUTH you make DECLARATION [COMMUNICATION], so that the reality is made manifest by faith in grace.
[Psalm 19:14; Romans 10:8-13; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27]

May you be blessed in the knowing and understanding of this perspective and context in the grace. Amen.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be exalted And every MOUNTAIN and hill brought low; The CROOKED PLACES shall be made straight And the ROUGH PLACES smooth; 5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken” Isaiah 40:3-5.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering SAITH unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 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 10:8-13.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23).

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:16-25.

SUMMARY:
This message centres on one truth: Believers overcome life’s challenges by SPEAKING the WORD OF GOD in FAITH. Your words, formed by belief and released through faith, create your reality in grace.

KEY POINTS:

THE PRINCIPLE: WORDS RULE YOUR LIFE:
Proverbs 18:20-21: “DEATH and LIFE are in THE POWER OF THE TONGUE”. What fills your belly and your future is the FRUIT of your MOUTH.WORD FORMULATION and COMMUNICATION define you. They determine your TODAY and TOMORROW.To be EFFECTUAL means to produce the desired, intended results. Therefore, EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION is OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE for THRIVING, FLOURISHING and FULFILMENT as a Believer.

THE PATTERN: JESUS AND THE SAINTS

Jesus is the pure example. In the midst of religion, odds and contrary, He communicated GRACIOUS WORDS. “ALL BARE Him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH” — Luke 4:22. He demonstrated how to address EARTHLY AFFAIRS with HEAVENLY REALITIES by the MYSTERY OF FAITH. Those who OVERCAME in Bible days did not only believe the blood. They TESTIFIED to it. “And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the WORD of their TESTIMONY” — Revelation 12:11.

The TESTIMONY of Jesus is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY — Revelation 19:10. To testify is to communicate what God has DONE, IS DOING, and WILL DO in you by His Word and the Holy Spirit.

THE MECHANISM: BELIEF CONCEIVES, FAITH DELIVERS

TO BELIEVE is PASSIVE — it is to be PREGNANT WITH THE WORD.

FAITH is ACTIVE — it is to ACT CORRESPONDINGLY on what you believe.

By EXERCISING FAITH, the CONTENT IN CONTEXT MUST DELIVER UNHINDERED.

COMMUNICATE means to — SPEAK, SAY, TALK, DECLARE, ANNOUNCE — forth to life MATTERS by your FAITH in the WORD, in Christ Jesus’ stead, to get EFFECTUAL RESULTS.

THE FOUNDATION: A DONE DEED IN CHRIST

VICTORY and TRIUMPH HAVE BEEN WROUGHT in Christ Jesus. Our work is to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE it daily by ACKNOWLEDGING the good done in us — Philemon 1:6.This is Abrahamic BELIEF and FAITH: “CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE” — Romans 4:17. Even against natural law concerning Sarah’s womb, he spoke until it manifested. “We having the SAME spirit of FAITH… I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” — 2 Corinthians 4:13.

THE APPLICATION: SPEAKTOMOUNTAINS

Every MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACE is a LONG-STANDING OBSTACLE. It requires FAITH COMMUNICATION to create an EFFECTUAL, results-oriented ATMOSPHERE.

“WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN… and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART… he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH” — Mark 11:23-24.Even Jesus spoke to the fig tree and it dried up — Mark 11:12-24. This is DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY with heaven’s language.

THE ALIGNMENT: HEART, MOUTH, HEAVEN, EARTH

God SEARCHES the hearts and minds. He hears our communication to the heavenly for our EARTHLY OUTPOUR. “With the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION” — Romans 10:10. The WORDS OF FAITH must DWELL RICHLY in you. Believe with the heart, declare with the mouth, and reality is made manifest by faith in grace.

THEPRAYER AND CHARGE

Just as Paul prayed for Philemon, the charge is that you come into the knowledge and understanding of having EFFECTUAL RESULTS in all life dealings. Watch over your words. Refuse SWEAR WORDS, FAITHLESS WORDS, LOVELESS WORDS, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS. Choose HEAVENLY GRACIOUS WORDS instead. Live as VICTORIOUS, not as VICTIMS. This is HOW to OVERCOME the camouflage of the world and its daily challenges.

SUMMARY IN ONE SENTENCE:
Because the work is finished in Christ, you are called to COMMUNICATE BY FAITH. Believe the Word in your heart, speak the Word with your mouth, and you will see the Word produce EFFECTUAL, PRODUCTIVE RESULTS free of sorrow, stress and sweat.

BE BOUNDLESS IN GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS

July 23, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BE BOUNDLESS IN GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS: AS THE CHURCH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!

“. . . 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US . . .” Romans 5:1-21.

The CHURCH that Christ Jesus died to raise as His own and He is coming back to take as His own is the CHURCH that is BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE by the HOLY SPIRIT given to us. And you ARE that Church, knowingly or unknowingly, if you are born of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

This Church that I know — which Christ DIED to RAISE as His own and He is coming back to TAKE as His own — is the Church WITHOUT WALLS, BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE, shared lavishly and poured abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that is given to us in Him.

Its embodiment entails ONENESS in all things, in spite of the constituent and diverse members. It is the Church where greed and selfishness have no place. It is the Church where segregation by race, colour, class, status and tongue have no place; and ALL are welcome, beautified and celebrated.

It is the Church without self-centredness, and it is mirrored in the ONENESS of the WE and not the I and THEM.

The ONENESS is unique in the BLESSEDNESS and have MADE us as:

One Body

One Faith

One Lord

One God

One people

One Nation

One Body

One Hope

One Love

One Calling

One Baptism

One REDEMPTION For ALL

One Spirit

One Christ

One Father

Father God Above All

Father God Through All

And Father God In All

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling; 5 ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, 6 ONE God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:4-6.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“For as the body is ONE, and hath many MEMBERS, and all the MEMBERS of that ONE body, being many, are ONE body: so also is Christ. 13 For by ONE Spirit are we all baptized into ONE body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ONE Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the MEMBERS every ONE of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they MANY MEMBERS, yet but ONE body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those MEMBERS of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care ONE for another. 26 And whether ONE member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or ONE member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

“Therefore become IMITATORS of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and WALK CONTINUALLY IN LOVE [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also LOVED you and GAVE Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance“ Ephesians 5:1-2 (Amplified).

SUMMARY:
This is a message declaration about the nature and identity of the true Church as a love-bound, Spirit-united, wall-less Body. It calls believers to live out the ONENESS that Christ died to create and is coming back to take as His own.

KEY POINTS:

THE FOUNDATION: GOD’S LOVE SHED ABROAD

From Romans 5:5, 8 — “THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
This love was demonstrated when Christ died for us while we were yet sinners.
Therefore, the Church that Jesus is raising and returning for is BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE, not in human effort, but by the Holy Spirit.

THE IDENTITY: YOU ARE THAT CHURCH

If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, then you ARE that Church, knowingly or unknowingly.
This Church is WITHOUT WALLS. It is not defined by buildings, denomination, or borders.
It is BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE, shared lavishly and poured abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit Romans 5:5.

THE CHARACTER: ONENESS WITHOUT DIVISION

The embodiment of this Church is ONENESS in all things, despite diverse members.
It is a place where:

Greed and selfishness have no place

Segregation by race, colour, class, status and tongue have no place

ALL are welcome, beautified and celebrated
It is mirrored in WE and not in I and THEM. It is selfless, not self-centred.

This ONENESS is expressed as:
One Body, One Faith, One Lord, One God, One People, One Nation, One Hope, One Love, One Calling, One Baptism, One REDEMPTION For ALL, One Spirit, One Christ, One Father — Father God Above All, Through All, and In All. Ephesians 4:4-6

THE SCRIPTURAL PICTURE: ONE BODY, MANY MEMBERS

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 teaches that though we are MANY MEMBERS, we are ONE body.
Every member is set by God and is necessary. There should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
When one suffers, all suffer. When one is honoured, all rejoice. Revelation 5:9-10 adds that Christ has REDEEMED us to God by His blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION.

THE CALL: IMITATE GOD AND WALK IN LOVE

Ephesians 5:1-2 — “WALK CONTINUALLY IN LOVE… just as Christ also LOVED us and GAVE Himself up for us.”
We are to be imitators of God as beloved children.

IN ONE SENTENCE:
This is a prophetic call to recognise that the true Church is Christ’s love-bound, Spirit-filled Body without walls or division, where ONENESS, diversity and sacrificial love define us — and you, as a born-again believer, are a vital member of that glorious Church.

IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS

July 22, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS: YOU ARE PREDESTINED TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“. . . 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will . . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-14.

You have been PREDESTINATED by God’s own will in Christ Jesus, to succeed in life and grace. For to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED purposefully and meaningfully with God’s enabling grace, in order for you to SUCCEED, THRIVE, FLOURISH, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE, and such like, in all that concerns LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

I recall hearing and reading the phrase below years ago. It helped to inspire my scriptural search and thinking around Ecclesiastes 3:11, enabling and assuring my self-discovery and recovery. It is summed up in this wisdom nugget by DR MYLES MUNROE of Blessed Memory:

“The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it… INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY… BECOME it.” — DR MYLES MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.

This wisdom concept could be explicitly shared in the Scriptures of which Ecclesiastes 3:11 gives more lights to many as written:

“He has made EVERYTHING beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, EXCEPT God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.

Stop looking for and pursuing your DESTINY – For your DESTINY is in YOU and you are your DESTINY. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for your wellbeing. Rise up, look within and become the you in you that God has MADE wonderfully and reverentially to succeed in life and grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“. . . For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your BOOK ALL THE DAYS [OF MY LIFE] WERE WRITTEN before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them . . .” Psalms 139:1-18/AMP Classic Edition.

You have to give meaning to the quest and voice of your inner being. The quest and voice within you could be that of the most sought-after Carpenter, Plumber, Teacher, Educator, Carer, Leader, Administrator, Minister, Medical Professional, Politician, Events Organiser, Baker, Farmer, Painter, Engineer, Technologist, Social Worker, Designer, Decorator, Scientist, Salesperson, and such like — that your Community and your World are craving to have in order to meet their human needs.

Know this: for such there is an unction within you to function. And though your beginning may be little, your latter end could be the answer to the quest and needs of humanity, when you give it a start.

Explore these Scriptures meditatively and let the Holy Spirit minister to your inner being for your wellbeing and the good of others, in grace, through your quest and exploring — 1 John 2:20, 27; Job 8:7; Zechariah 4:10.

Your Family, Community, Nation and World are all waiting for your revealing — the manifestation of the you that is within you. Romans 8:19

You have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME – Stop running about for SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS. You are carrying your destiny within you. Don’t blame others for your irresponsible decision not to look within and explore to become.

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO BECOME IT. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

“The Creator hid your future where He knew you could not miss it . . . INSIDE you. Don’t go to your destiny . . . BECOME it” – DR Myles MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME. Also He has put ETERNITY (PURPOSE/DESTINY) in their HEARTS (HUMAN SPIRIT), except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Emphasis Mine).

“But there is a SPIRIT in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God has MADE me,

And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES me life [which inspires me]” Job 33:4 (Amplified).

The SPIRIT (conscience) of man is the LAMP of the Lord, SEARCHING and EXAMINING all the INNERMOST parts of his being” Proverbs 20:27 (Amplified).

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved . . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“For all the PROMISES of God IN HIM ARE YEA, and IN HIM AMEN, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now he which STABLISHETH US with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED US, is God; 22 who hath also SEALED US, and GIVEN THE EARNEST OF THE SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.

“But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

SUMMARY:
This message is about identity, destiny, and purpose rooted in grace. It declares that God has already positioned, empowered, and equipped you in Christ to become all He purposed, and that your destiny is not something you chase externally — it is deposited within you by the Spirit.

KEY POINTS:

YOUR IDENTITY: PREDESTINATED, CHOSEN, ANDBLESSEDIN CHRIST

From Ephesians 1:3-12, you were CHOSEN before the foundation of the world and PREDESTINATED unto adoption by Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will.
To be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED with God’s enabling grace to SUCCEED, THRIVE, FLOURISH, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and such like, in all that concerns LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
Romans 8:28-30 confirms the chain: Foreknown → Predestinated → Called → Justified → Glorified. You are sealed, anointed, and established in Christ 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.

YOUR DESTINY IS WITHIN YOU: STOP CHASING, START BECOMING

Quoting DR MYLES MUNROE: “The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it… INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY… BECOME it.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11 explains this: God has put ETERNITY — a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE in the human heart.
The call is to stop pursuing destiny as if it is outside you. Your destiny is in you. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop blaming others. Rise up and become the you that God MADE wonderfully and reverentially Psalm 139:13-16.

THE INNER UNCTION: PURPOSE FOR SERVICE AND HUMANITY

The quest and voice within you may be for Carpenter, Teacher, Leader, Medical Professional, Engineer, Social Worker, and such like — vocations your Community and World are craving to meet human needs.
1 John 2:20,27; Job 8:7; Zechariah 4:10 are given for meditation.
Know this: there is an unction within you to function. Though your beginning may be small, your latter end can answer the needs of humanity when you give it a start. Job 8:7
Your Family, Community, Nation and World are waiting for the manifestation of the you that is within you Romans 8:19.

THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD: SOURCE OF REVELATION AND UNDERSTANDING

God reveals destiny by His Spirit: “But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
Job 32:8, Job 33:4, Proverbs 20:27 affirm that the Spirit of God, the breath of the Almighty, and the lamp of conscience give understanding and search the innermost parts.
You do not need to “fake it to become it”. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD.

THE CHARGE

Stop running about for SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE for your well-being.
Take responsibility, look within, and walk in what God has already PREPARED Ephesians 1:11, 1 Corinthians 2:9.

IN ONE SENTENCE:

This is a prophetic exhortation that because you are predestinated, blessed, and empowered in Christ, your destiny and purpose are already planted within you by God. Therefore, cease external striving, yield to the Spirit, give expression to the unction within, and become what God has made you to be — for the glory of God and the blessing of the world.
