PASTORAL SHEPHERDING IN BLESSEDNESS

January 21, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PASTORAL SHEPHERDING IN BLESSEDNESS: GOD NEEDS YOUR AVAILABILITY NOT YOUR ABILITY!

“Brothers and sisters, together FOLLOW my example and OBSERVE those who live by the pattern we gave you. 18 For there ARE many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who LIVE as ENEMIES of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], 19 whose fate is destruction, whose god is their BELLY [their worldly APPETITE, their SENSUALITY, their VANITY], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on EARTHLY and TEMPORAL things” Philippians 3:17-19/Amplified.

God seek for pure, genuine and good-hearted Shepherds over the sheep in these days of crafty, cunning and heiring agents of Satan putting on the cloak as God’s own. It’s imperative that the SHEPHERD of the SHEEP is set to FEED the flocks of God with the WORD, not a hireling who set to feed with adulteration, counterfeit and lies [Jeremiah 3:15; John 21:15-17; Philippians 1:15-18]; and the shepherd is equally set to stay on the PLACE OF CALLING [responsibility and accountability in principle], if you wants to live FULFILLED and not as a NOISE MAKER and SELF SEEKING individual, whose MINISTRY is more of the BELLY and to lure others away in the name of God [Philippians 3:17-19/Amplified.], God is so particular of the flocks [Sheep and Lamb] to be in healthy state, and part of doing that is to be feed them with the Word than giving excuses of misgivings as Jesus rightly instruct Peter not to give but to feed. It’s a DUTY. An INSTRUCTION. It’s not an ADVICE.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP” John 21:15-17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS . . .” Proverbs 27:23-27.

God seeks for VESSELS to use and not ORNAMENTS for museum, in order to fulfill and accomplish His REDEMPTION kingdom cause – plan, purpose and pursuit – on the earth, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. Therefore, dear PASTOR – please STOP all the NOISE and be at the DUTY Post, for God seek your AVAILABILITY for His Kingdom causes and not your ABILITY, in order to use you to fulfill His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus – THAT’S ALL THAT’S NEEDED ALL THE WAY IN THE NOW.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and SOME TO HONOUR, AND SOME TO DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET [QUALIFIED] for the master’s use, and PREPARED unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21/Emphasis Mine.

Your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY is all that God needs from you to help create and initiate the atmosphere He earnestly intend to happen through you and as He long to see you make the DIFFERENCE in HUMANITY. Therefore, it’s time to make yourself AVAILABLE for God’s SUFFICIENCY to make you BECOME in Him, just as Apostle Paul earnestly labour and craved daily for the good of the Sheep – the Churches of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE US ABLE MINISTERS of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:5-6.

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which COMETH upon me DAILY, the CARE of all the churches” 2 Corinthians 11:28.

Therefore, stop all the NOISE of what you can do that have not taken you any higher than that CIRCUS and CIRCLE you’ve been wandering and wondering around on, all these times. God is not a magician, and He does no magic though He does MIRACLE – and for God, MIRACLES are the consequence of His WORD. Therefore, just REPORT at your DUTY post of CALLING, it’s your AVAILABILITY not your ABILITY that God is interested in, to make things HAPPEN for you today and tomorrow and for the good of all; otherwise, you will become a MAGICIAN trying to get THINGS to happen or done by any and every means in the name of God. PLEASE DON’T and PLEASE STOP – and stay only on your DUTY POST.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

Be the SHEPHERD of the SHEEP by the WORD, not a hireling; and stay on your PLACE OF CALLING if you wants to live FULFILLED and not as a NOISE MAKER; but as a Pastoral Shepherd, to feed God’s sheep with knowledge and understanding of His will, and their rights and privileges as a done work for them in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS [SHEPHERD] according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

Can YOU make the YOU available today to God in fulfilling His PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT?

I pray that our God gives you the enabling grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead to do life and live godly in Him. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

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.

“And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:  5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God;  6 who also hath MADE us ABLE MINISTERS of the NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life”  2 Corinthians 3:4-6.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“. . . 11 I am the GOOD shepherd: the good shepherd GIVETH his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an HIRELING, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine . . .” John 10:1-18.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the OTHER of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

“Brethren, be FOLLOWERS together of me, and mark them which WALK so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many WALK, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the ENEMIES of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind EARTHLY things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself” Philippians 3:17-21.

“The Lord is MY SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters . . .” Psalms 23.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED THE FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ENSAMPLES to the flock. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

YOU ARE GOD’S BEST: THE MAKING OF YOU

January 21, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YOU ARE GOD’S BEST: THE MAKING OF YOU – IT’S A COMPOSITION OF THE GOOD AND THE BAD OVER TIME!

“There will ALWAYS be people in your life who TREAT you WRONG. Be sure to THANK them for MAKING you STRONG” Zig Ziglar.

“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” Romans 8:28.

Don’t feel SAD when FAILED by most TRUSTED people about you. We are a component of the good and the bad in the making of our uniqueness under the Sun. Together by the good and the bad, we are shaped in life. And if you must SHINE as the STARS, there must be phases of DARKNESS on your life path to make the GLOW greater and higher in FAITH and GRACE.

“For God, who COMMANDED the LIGHT to shine OUT of DARKNESS, hath shined in our hearts, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

More importantly, it’s NOT WHAT HAPPENED when you meet or experience the good and the bad, but WHAT YOU MAKE OUT of meeting and having an encounter with either – that’s what MAKES WHAT you ARE and BECOME overtime, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Don’t let your DISAPPOINTMENT get into you to take hold of you. You must HOLD to FAITH and GRACE steadfastly, in that CAUSE in your PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT; for therein you can ENSURE when TRUSTED people changed of behaviour or some person’s failure to be of good anymore towards you, that does not define you; more so, that does not mean God has abandoned you from your meaningful and purposeful life cause in Christ Jesus. You need to see EVERY single DISAPPOINTMENT as the STEPPING GROUND and STONE to your next higher and exalted life in Christ Jesus. That’s how to make the POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT possible in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Always have it settled within you as a DEFAULT, that no matter what has happened or it’s happening or will even happen, that God is able to accomplish and bring to fruition and fulfillment that GOOD and GOODNESS, that He began in you to do in life and godly living, in Christ Jesus stead. [Philippians 1:3-7; Philemon I:4-6; Romans 8:28-30; Jeremiah 29:11].

Don’t see men as your HELPERS as many have purported to be their DESTINY HELPER’S which is unscriptural and out of biblical context though it had become many people order of the day statement. Know of a truth that your destiny of God in Christ Jesus is within you and not something you have to pursue outside you as many have to fight and pursue about in delusion not knowing that they have been PREDESTINED of God already with the default to succeed, achieve, become and such like [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:5-12]. Know full well that in your reborn as a Believer of God in Christ Jesus, that your wholesome package is at the default of God’s purpose in your life and only God who puts His purpose in you is the only one who is obligated out His will to make His purpose in you to come to fruition, to be tangible and of course, to reality; and know also that no man that we have already assumed to be the vehicle of use, just because he or she has been used of God at a time to be vessel of BLESSEDNESS toward us is our DESTINY HELPER’S. Only the Father God is our HELPER. He only can use any means to ensure that we fulfill purpose in Him. And as soon as we have it registered in our being that God is our HELPER, we will be conditioned healthily and no longer to be offended by people or any who help or don’t help us, as we might craved to be.

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in TROUBLE [CHALLENGING TIMES]. 2 Therefore will NOT we FEAR, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah” Psalms 46:1-3.

What I am so much certainly certain about you, is that today, God will MAKE UP your LOSES for you and turn your challenging and difficult times into that which is all for your GOOD and GOODNESS. Therefore, keep on keeping on in FAITH and GRACE to ALL who BELIEVE or DON’T BELIEVE in you. For FAITHFUL is God that promise – that’s ALL that SHOULD matter. And through patience you definition in God will be onwards and upwards in trajectory in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without WAVERING; for he is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this world cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“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.

“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“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” 2 Peter 1:19.

“CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM; for he careth for you. 8 Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST in the faith, knowing that the SAME AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your BRETHREN that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have SUFFERED a while, MAKE YOU PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU” 1 Peter 5:7-10.

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have DONE THE WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK unto perdition; but of them that believe to THE SAVING of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“For God is NOT UNRIGHTEOUS to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not slothful, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 6 BEING CONFIDENT OF THIS VERY THING, THAT HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST: 7 even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace” Philippians 1:3-7.

“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 I:4-6.

“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 I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS FOR PEACE and WELL-BEING and NOT FOR DISASTER, to GIVE you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11 Amplified.

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

January 20, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]: IT’S ABOUT HAVING GOD’S APPROVAL AND NOT MEN’S APPLAUD [HYPER]!

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it” Acts 2:22-24.

There’s nothing as dangerous as endeavouring to win favour outside the context of anything that has a stand – an ethics and etiquette – that worth priceless. As I have said in some writ, when you take a text out of a context, it becomes a con – and we all know when someone becomes a con person, con artist, conman and such like, we all will naturally distance ourselves from anyone who is already known to be a con in such spheres of doing life except you share in such person acts of behavioural bargains. If we can be able to distance ourselves, how much more when such it’s in conflict with God’s Scriptural CONTEXT and INSTRUCTIONS to our doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And God does not share His glory with mortal men in their hyper and applaud:

“And Herod was highly DISPLEASED with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with ONE ACCORD to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, SAT upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a SHOUT [APPLAUSE, HYPER], saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he GAVE not God the GLORY: and he was EATEN of worms, and gave up the GHOST [DIED]” Acts 12:20-23.

There are many out there who will do anything outside the book to get the applause that men can give them to enable them outdo and undo others – and you can see it in places of doing life – workspaces, factory, business transaction, family circles, Church leadership position, government Offices and other expected civic places that’s – nongovernmental and many such like. For this kind of behaviour, Apostle Paul warned, charged and exhorted young Bishop Timothy, to note that leadership position for example it’s not for self-gains and should not be taken lightly; and people should not for any human reasons on selfish applause be placed in places they are not qualified to be otherwise it will undermine God’s authority and misplaced priority in honouring and magnifying God’s WORD that’s above all things as God had done.

“I CHARGE thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ELECT angels, that thou OBSERVE these things without PREFERRING one before another, doing nothing by PARTIALITY. 22 LAY HANDS SUDDENLY ON NO MAN, neither be PARTAKER of other MEN’S SINS: keep thyself PURE” 1 Timothy 5:21-22.

“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your name!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.

It’s of this emboldened spirit of getting God’s APPROVAL in all things in context and not just on somethings, that Apostle Peter was speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 2:22-24. He was giving an admonishment about our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – who is the author and finisher of our faith [Hebrews 12:2], and who is our God’s given and living example in doing God’s kingdom business in our earthly affairs [Hebrews 1:1-4], and by whom we ARE God’s ambassador on earth – to note how He ensured that He RECEIVED God’s APPROVAL and not men APPLAUSE, to do God’s given purpose and assignments in humanity [Luke 2:1-2, 14, 16-18, 22]. Jesus Christ cause in humanity was always to get God’s APPROVAL [intent] in every step because He knows, it must always be of the FATHER’S WILL to be done and not MEN’S WILL for egotism, self-gratification and self-centeredness and such like.

“. . . 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear WITNESS of me . . . 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him” John 10:22-38.

Apostle Paul had in his keen interest for us to live through God’s approval and signature in all we do to fulfil purpose and life, in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE. He then charged the Believers of God as you and me and as to Timothy, to endeavour to STUDY, to enable us get God’s APPROVAL [SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT] to a cause, so that we can be able to rightly apply the word of God appropriately in all matters of doing life and living godly. And to be embroidered to stand up against the enemy and cohorts voices when they show up too. For pure wisdom to do life and live godly is the application of knowledge. And where there’s no knowledge of a thing, it’s not only that IGNORANCE WILL PREVAIL, people will ABUSE PURPOSE of the intended. People had abused their relationship [spouses, children, family, friendship] for the lack of knowledge to the cause and context; people had abused position of leadership and authority for lack of knowledge of the context; people do evil and wickedness as abusers to undermine others especially toward the vulnerable and such like because of the lack of the knowledge to the context of the cause; you can name lots of places abuse have taken place or happening right now because of the stupidity and foolishness born out of ignorance to a cause [purpose] – and it’s all for the lack of wisdom – application of knowledge to such cause.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING [APPLYING, HANDLING] the WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine.

God wants us to live a life of CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], to enable us be His true ambassador for Christ. And being God’s representative on earth [Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:15-18; Psalms 8:4-8; 2 Corinthians 5:20], is not limited to a particular person or nation but to all who intend to do God’s purpose in RIGHTEOUSNESS; meaning those who wants to get on His APPROVED context and not in men trying to use UNRIGHTEOUSNESS to get His APPROVAL for their APPLAUSE. For Gods glory is not to be shared with men. This is the caution and exhortations that Apostle Peter gives of God’s openness to all as He’s not a respecter of men; while Apostle Paul also in a different respective context gave a dire warning to the Believers who wants to be on God’s good book and purpose not to dare God, by using the unrighteousness cause of men to an approval and signature to get God’s righteous approved cause.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, who hold the TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who KNOWING the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have PLEASURE in them that do them” Romans 1:18, 32.

Therefore, knowing the danger and wrath of working through men’s crazy approval cause to make you feel important and good while you know you are going to face God’s wrath, why not today, even now, resolved intentionally and pragmatically, to do God’s approved purpose in context unreservedly, by STUDYING the WORD of God like the Berea Christian of Acts 17:10-12 and by taking up Apostle Paul exhortation to Timothy as written in 1 Timothy 4:14-17. These will make you to walk in wisdom – rightly applying the word through knowledge.

“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.

“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 [MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE], throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17/Emphasis mine.

It’s my PRAYERS that you will not struggle in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], as you do life by ensuring and assuring God’s approval is what’s always in your top heartfelt without men’s approval to your being God’s true Ambassador for Christ.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

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

LIVING IN CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

January 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LIVING IN CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]: YOU MUST INTENTIONALLY DO AWAY WITH UNBELIEF!

“And to whom SWARE He that they should NOT ENTER into His REST, but to them that BELIEVED NOT? 19 So we see that they could NOT ENTER in because of UNBELIEF” Hebrews 3:18-19.

The good and faithful, true and sure God that we claim to serve acceptably and unreservedly and to worship worthily, in spirit and truth, is the same God that searches the hearts and thoughts of men to ensure that their motives are of a contrite and broken hearts [spirit] all the way. [Psalms 51:17; Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 62:2; Revelation 2:23; Jeremiah 17:10].

And because God does not share His glory with any, hence Lucifer that turns Satan the devil with the third stars call demons were all kicked out of heavens for such enabling thoughts and imagination and worse to have attempted to carry such impossible mission in God’s highly sanctified and consecrated throne of holiness and righteousness. [Ezekiel 28:11-19; Isaiah 14:12-19; Revelation 12:3-5]. God is a jealous God and won’t share His shekinah glory with a mere mortal in the flesh too just as He dealt with devil in the spirit for his complete negligence of the purity and sanctity of the heavenly.

It thus means that the thought of living a life of grace toward God in Christ Jesus with an unbelieving spirit it’s not permissible in the New Creation Church of Christ Jesus as it was not permitted in the Old Creation Church of the wilderness through Moses. [Hebrews 3:18-19; Hebrews 11:6; Romans 4:19-21; Mark 11:20-24]. Unbelief has no place and reckoning in the kingdom of God for any who seeks His heavenly intervention in their earthly affairs in Christ Jesus – it’s always repentance toward God and Faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ [Acts 20:20-21]. It thus means that those who wants to have alternative plan A to plan Z as a rescue plan under God as they have an act of UNBELIEF of God’s enabling in all things that pertains to life and godliness [2 Peter 1:2-5; John 1:12], are living in self-deception and lying to themselves and cohorts. And nothing from God will answers to UNBELIEF state for any cause or context within the Kingdom provisions.

You can’t be set to live the CHRISTLIKENESS life of being CHRISTLIKE by the spirit of UNBELIEF toward God in Christ Jesus. The children of Israel of the Church in the wilderness under Moses, didn’t enter their place of rest in fulfilling God’s purpose for them meaningfully, because of UNBELIEF. An UNBELIEF toward God is worst than any measures of describing a cancerous condition. Thus, indicating that God does not accommodate those who live a double-minded attitude towards His WORD in any context. For such does not receive anything from God irrespective.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall RECEIVE ANY THING of the Lord. 8 A DOUBLE MINDED man is unstable in all his ways” James 1:5-8.

“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 11:20-24.

It’s impossible to receive anything of God through UNBELIEVE. For God only reward only the act of Faith toward Him in Christ Jesus. And Faith is the de facto of God to be victorious on the earth and be heavenly connected without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. For while we may live in the flesh, our life battle are of faith. We fight the fight of faith. God is of Faith and not of the flesh where unbelief dwell [Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 5:4-5; 2 Corinthians 5:7; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 Timothy 6:12.].

Do you want a pure rest with God in Christ Jesus in order to obtain your full salvation rights and privileges in redemption? You have to live by the WORD OF FAITH and not that of UNBELIEF. [Romans 10:8-10, 17; Hebrews 6:10-12; Romans 14:23 (Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:12; Romans 1:16-17; Habakkuk 2:4)]. Unbelief toward God in Christ Jesus is a self set denial from any good and goodness of God. You can’t serve God with haphazard attitude – you either stick to God fully in His faithfulness or walk away with the default of disappointment that’s set on the place of UNBELIEF [Hebrews 10:23, 35-39].

Therefore, know that in living the CHRISTLIKENESS [being CHRISTLIKE], there’s no place for self-deception and self-gratification through double mindedness toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Any of such that’s contrary to faith toward God is considered an enemy of God which could be any of these:

* The Enemy WITHIN – The Flesh [five senses – hear, see, feel, taste and touch (feel)].

* The Enemy you SEE – The world [and it’s systems].

* The Enemy we KNOW – Satan and cohorts [demons].

* The Enemy we DO – Religion [found through denomination, sectarianism and such like].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you walk by faith and not in unbelief toward God [you can search through in many of my writs on faith] to help you learn to walk by faith toward God in Christ Jesus, so that you can find fulfilment and have a meaningful purpose in your doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

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

EXPERIENCING AND ENSURING – THE WORK AND THE EFFECT – OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS

January 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

EXPERIENCING AND ENSURING – THE WORK AND THE EFFECT – OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS: THESE ARE PEACE – QUIETNESS – ASSURANCE – AND JOY – IN THE HOLY GHOST!

“For the KINGDOM of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in THESE things SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:17-18.

The SYNERGY to STAND – being ASSURED – and ENSURED – of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus – is by EXPERIENCING and ENSURING the WORK and the EFFECT of – God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth I PERCEIVE that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that feareth him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.

There’s nothing as beautiful, lively, lovely, gracious and graceful to know that every step of one’s journey, there’s God’s ENSURING, ENRICHING and ASSURING INSURANCE – ALL the WAY. This is the graciousness and gracefulness of LIVING IN THE POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPHANT DEFAULT in the CONSCIOUSNESS of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. For RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS in every way in the kingdom. You can boldly lift up your hands in WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP unashamed, unafraid, without intimidation and guilt, and genuinely free within because YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus and not by yourself and or making. Amen.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but SIN is a reproach (Setback, Mayhem, Shame) to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

And you need to know, understand and  be aware that there’re the WORK of RIGHTEOUSNESS and the EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in one’s life as a consequence of what Christ Jesus had done in our redemption.  And it’s in our living in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS that enables one’s path to be ORDERED, ENHANCED and have the ASSURED and INSURED POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPH in all the way through the year with God.

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

So, get on the board and follow the PATH that enables you to DO and WORK the RIGHTEOUS ACTS so that you can experience and ensure the fullness of God who is no respecter of persons as men would do. For YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. You Must Take A STAND Of Being ENSURED AND ASSURED Of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In CHRIST JESUS.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That SHINES brighter and brighter until [it REACHES its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT day” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified.

I pray that as you stand on this GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL act of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the Lord God will PERFECT, MATURE, ESTABLISH and SETTLE you in the EXALTED place in Christ Jesus precious name, Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“But seek ye FIRST the KINGDOM of God, and his RIGHTEOUSNESS; and ALL these things shall be ADDED unto you” Matthew 6:33.

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT of righteousness QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever” Isaiah 32:17.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth I PERCEIVE that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that feareth him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.

“For Christ is the END of the LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of FAITH speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 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” Romans 10:4-10

“Every GOOD gift and every PERFECT gift is from ABOVE, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is NO VARIABLENESS, neither SHADOW of turning. 18 Of his OWN will BEGAT he us with the WORD of truth, that we should be a kind of FIRSTFRUITS of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT to hear, SLOW to speak, SLOW to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:17-20.

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS’ IN CHRIST JESUS

January 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS & PRIVILEGES IN ZION – THE CHURCH!

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

The CHURCH, the City of God, the Embassy, the Mount Zion, is your major life wire to POSSESS, and in POSSESSING your POSSESSIONS in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus. There’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION. However, know full well that you ARE the CHURCH that God is BUILDING by His WORD in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. And, you have to INTENTIONALLY belong also, to the gathering of the Churches of God, of which you are a member in particular, in the place called THERE, wherein there’s a GATHERING in the name of the Father God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. Amen. There you can SERVE God in Christ Jesus ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him accordingly WORTHILY in spirit and truth, as written:

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him must WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24.

“Not forsaking the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER [HABIT, BEHAVIOUR] of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

In possessing your Kingdom rights and privileges possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start is THE CHURCH – the ASSEMBLY – the gathering, of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes to THE CHURCH, so goes you and THE NATION, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons.

For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the Church of Christ Jesus in order to BECOME a part. The reason been, the Church, which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly. The order does not grace there will EXPERIENCE includes but not limited are:

* Deliverance from all sorts (you name it).

* Holiness – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.

* Possessing your possessions – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.

Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in His REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written:

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

SCRIPTURAl THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye BE NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

“Our fathers WORSHIPPED in this MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, BELIEVE me, the hour cometh, when ye shall NEITHER in this MOUNTAIN, NOR yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for SALVATION is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father Seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:20-24.

Further Scriptural Reading in Context: Matthew 16:13-20.

SPEAKING FORTH TO MOVE ‘THAT’ MOUNTAIN

January 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SPEAKING FORTH TO MOVE ‘THAT’ MOUNTAIN: AND IT’S TIME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR YOUR GOOD!

“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.

“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/Emphasis Mine.

MOUNTAIN – is considered to be a long standing SPIRITUAL obstacle and PHYSICAL opposition in your path of progress; and in your BECOMING and ACHIEVING your set desired goals in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead of God.  And it’s TIME to do the FOOLISH thing, that is – to SPEAK to ‘THAT’ MOUNTAIN obstructing your path of honour, dignity and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“A man shall be SATISFIED with GOOD by the FRUIT of his MOUTH: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him” Proverbs 12:14.

“A man shall EAT GOOD by the FRUIT of his MOUTH: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence” Proverbs 13:2.

FAITH IS ACTING ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE CORRESPONDINGLY TO GOD’S WORD IN ORDER TO BECOME. IT’S TIME TO ACT ON YOUR BELIEVE TO MOVE THAT STANDING MOUNTAIN ON YOUR PATH OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

“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 so ever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:22-24.

Therefore, in moving your named MOUNTAIN, YOUR PART is to BELIEVE in EXERCISING your FAITH on God’s WORD accordingly, while God’s PART is to ANSWER you at the point of your need. And your named MOUNTAIN could be any or combination or none of these:

* Health related issues

* Finance and economic matters

* Emotional and Psychological matters

* Family related matters

* Relationship and Marital issues

* Career/Business and Entrepreneurial matters * Ministry and Ministerial challenges

* Leadership and Governance Affairs

* . . . and such likes which is more peculiar to you.

May I remind you in the light of the SCRIPTURES that you’ve DWELL LONG enough on THIS MOUNTAIN of complaint, murmuring and blame game and such like; and it’s time to surpass and transcend beyond this valley and mountain scheme sphere.

“The Lord our God SPAKE unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have DWELT LONG ENOUGH in this MOUNT . . .” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.

And it’s TIME to make your well-being BE, that’s, to SPEAK TO YOUR NAMED MOUNTAIN on your path of happiness and move on to the next ladder in your life.  And herein is a simple PRINCIPLE to apply to do it:

** Firstly, you NEED to Load up – that is – to lay into your spirit being with the relevant SCRIPTURES relative to your MOUNTAIN as men lay-up gold as dust – Job 22:21-30.

** Secondly, you then SPEAK TO IT. And having done that, then STOP talking about it in a hopeless attitude when you truly BELIEVE God at work for you in it. And instruct and give authoritatively a direction of travel to that long STANDING MOUNTAIN and OPPOSITION on your part of THRIVING in FAITH and GRACE – Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

** Thirdly, SPEAK FORTH TO IT, just as one who knows that your LIFE WELL-BEING depends on that mountain MOVING OUT of your path of life, to enable you enter your graciousness and gracefulness in the Lord. Amen – 2 Corinthians 4:13; Romans 10:8-13; Romans 4:17.

** And BEGIN to see through the eyes of the SCRIPTURES your DESIRED ANSWER and not your CIRCUMSTANCES or MOUNTAIN. If you can SEE toward ANSWERS and not toward QUESTIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, then you can POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION in THE WORD – Jeremiah 1:11, 13; Mark 8:23-25.

You need to know full well today, that the so-called MOUNTAIN in your life can be move and made a plain, that is, relocated to abyss; then you can USHER in God’s BEST into your life goals again.

I pray you an ENABLING and EMBOLDENED grace and BLESSEDNESS, to lay hold to your POSSESSIONS in Christ Jesus, in seeing THAT MOUNTAIN move as expected in grace. Amen.

MIRRORING CHRISTLIKENESS

January 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MIRRORING CHRISTLIKENESS: SCRIPTURAL TERMS TO OUR BEING CHRISTLIKE IN REALITIES!

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

It’s very easy for anyone to acclaim being Christlike, the reality is that Apostle Paul, through His writings in the epistles, helps to give us a full Holy Spirit inspired, revealed and empowered insight and foresight of what Jesus Christ is to us and what being Christlike [Christlikeness] encompasses. And I am here sharing on how you can scripturally know and understand what in the New Creation, being Christlike entails from the writings of Apostle Paul and other Epistles writers, to enable you to live and actualised tangibly and in reality, the Christlikeness.

Take a glimpse of the Philemon 1:6 scriptures. It gives insight that, one can only be effectual [productive, result oriented], when our Faith communication [declaration, sharing, announcing etc.], is coming from our ability [capacity] to the acknowledgement of the good done IN us [being done through us, being done with us] which is IN Christ Jesus [not the devil’s and demons and Satan’s doings that most of us sees and acknowledge daily and talk about]. The context word is ‘IN’ you ‘IN’ Christ Jesus. And it’s in the acknowledging, enacting and authenticating these scriptural contexts and such like, that makes our definition, and indicates the how to being Christlike – to live in the person of Christlikeness.

“That the communication (SHARING, FELLOWSHIP) of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis mine).

When you build your being around the good of God that’s done IN you, IN Christ Jesus, you have nothing ever to be crediting and acknowledging to the devil and demons and Satan and cohorts. It’s unfortunate, that most people in their simple acts of prayers are filled up with matters of demons and devils and cohorts as if it’s a wish that the enemy and cohort will always pass through their dwelling places to sign signature daily. – you must never forget that only Father God in Christ Jesus, is OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT and OMNISCIENCE, and the enemy [the devil] and cohort are not, and they can’t be what God is, as people always purported to booster the devil and demon presence almost in every prayers and spoken word about them.

I hereby behold you to make a gracious start up on a good note this year, as I am giving you an assignment that you must be ready to do intentionally, pragmatically and unreservedly; this is to help get into the Christlikeness by your acknowledgement, which is to help you live purposefully, meaningfully and in fulfilling your being Christlike 24/7, otherwise you will be doing religion and denominationalism, sectarianism and such like.

I want you to get your Bible [preferably King James Version] now, because the exercise I am giving you to practically do, is drawn using it; this will enable you get the actual context without alteration by other versions, and you can then afterwards, look through other versions to get the substance of the word to apply without adulteration of the context if you choose.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

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

GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU

January 16, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU: YOU NEED NOT LIVE IN WORRY NOR BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING!

“Be ANXIOUS for NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the PEACE of God, which SURPASSES [TRANSCENDS], all UNDERSTANDING, will GUARD your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7/Emphasis Mine.

The year has just begun – to some it’s with excitement and to another with confusion. Herein are some but not limited questions to ponder upon, and if applicable, you have to address for your good and goodness, in order to win the year graciously and gracefully as God’s intent for you:

** Are you ANXIOUS in life for today or probably for your tomorrow?

** Are you being OVERWHELMED with WORRIES?

** Do you think you are LOOSING the plot of life?

** Do you think you are at the VERGE of life, and NOTHING is there for you in the DAWN YEAR?

Beloved in Christ Jesus, you don’t have to GIVE UP so soon, for you are God’s OWN, His SHOWCASE and SHOWROOM ambassador and representative to authenticate and enact that His REDEMPTION plan in Christ Jesus for you on earth, is real for today, tomorrow and forevermore as in the holy writs. Amen.

“Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has GIVEN us THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ RECONCILING the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, that we MIGHT BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.

And, the dawn YEAR is of POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT in Christ Jesus stead for you in God’s BLESSEDNESS; and it’s to be enacted in the grace, wisdom and speed that our God provides and it’s to be taken by FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

DO YOU KNOW WHY NOT WORRY AND BE ANXIOUS?

It’s true that, to Worry and be anxious is real to human living under the sun and its consequences sometimes is dire and can lead and make people go wearisome and depression – resulting a lifelong emotional and physical illness. And for the born of God in Christ Jesus, to WORRY and be in ANXIOUS state is scripturally not permissible; it hinders the HEAVENLY ability to interferes for HELP in one’s EARTHLY affairs. It thus means, it shut one’s good intent from being able to allow the access of the divine intent for accomplishments, in all set plan, purpose and pursuit. So, to being in a WORRY and ANXIOUS state is not permissible for you of God, if you MUST sail, soar and glide in God’s POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT to ensure a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life in the YEAR count. Therefore, Philippians 4:6-7 ADMONISHES us in this context:

“Be ANXIOUS for NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the PEACE of God, which SURPASSES all UNDERSTANDING, will GUARD your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7.

And for this above SCRIPTURAL TRUTH, know full well, that in God’s LOVED-WORLD, you are a PARTARKER of His LOVE and CARES. 2 Peter 1:3-4. I am so certain of God in His LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, that you will be loaded daily with UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE joy in the dawn YEAR; for it is, in His love and care plan for you His family, in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Ephesians 3:14-15; John 3:16; Jeremiah 29:11; 1 Peter 5:6-7. And as you endeavour to live in the consciousness of God’s POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT in Christ Jesus stead, your HORN will be EXALTED in life and godliness.

Also, God in His infinite nature has made a ready plan, purpose and pursuit for you to be happy and joyful in Him. For He has CROWNED the YEAR with His GOODNESS and FRUITFULNESS, such that you can THRIVE and BLOSSOM, have a COLOURFUL, PURPOSEFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING life in Him by Christ Jesus. Amen.

THEREFORE, WORRY NOT OR BE ANXIOUS FOR ANYTHING – FOR GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU – IN HIS LOVED FILLED WORLD – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH MEDITATING:

“Therefore I tell you, stop BEING WORRIED or ANXIOUS (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? . . . 31 Therefore DO NOT WORRY OR BE ANXIOUS (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ . . . 34 “SO DO NOT WORRY about tomorrow; for tomorrow will WORRY about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” Matthew 6:25-34 (Amplified).

“DO NOT BE ANXIOUS OR WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that peace which] stands GUARD over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 (Amplified).

“I know the PLANS I have for you,” declares the Lord, “PLANS to PROSPER you and not to harm you, PLANS to give you Hope and a FUTURE” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV).

“Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths drop fatness (ABUNDANCE, FRUITFULNESS) . . .” Psalms 65:11-13 (Emphasis Mine).

“GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 ACCORDING as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us all things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding GREAT and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“For God so LOVED the WORLD, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“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 5:5-8.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the world, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

Further Scriptural Reading: 3 John 2; John 10:10; 2 Timothy 1:7; Psalms 43:1-7; Matthew 6:25-34; Luke 12:22-34.
