THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

November 30, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH: YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FIGHT!

“If thou FAINT in the DAY of ADVERSITY, thy STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

Sometimes in the course of life, things – ADVERSITIES – do happens. How we go about it defines lots in our moving forward – onward and upward trajectory or moving backward or at stand still. When in course of life time – you lose your job, your business close down, you have uncertainty in your relationship and marriage, your children or spouse quit from you, or sickness and diseases afflicts you and your financial position gets worst and uncertain; your career or educational pursuits comes to a hurt and many more setback comes to play in your life – WHAT DO YOU DO? Do you go down to Egypt as Isaac of Abraham in Genesis 26:1-6 or take the step of FAITH as a SHIELD on God’s WORD to believe that with God you can make a new starts up to a better today and tomorrow, in spite of all the odds that are before you or had befallen you. That we are not of them who cast away our confidence in God or pull back into perdition but of them that believed in the all possible God in His people in all circumstances.

“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.

I want you to also know full well – that, there’s a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH as well as a GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. And there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE in the course and cause of doing life and to living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s the HOW you use the WORD in MATTERS of life – to either RESPOND instead of to REACT – that defines if you are on a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH and BAD WARFARE or GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH and GOOD WARFARE, in Christ Jesus stead. For the ability to have the good fight of FAITH and good WARFARE is what makes your assured stands in grace 24/7, in all the phases of doing life and living godly to fulfill purpose meaningfully.

“FIGHT the good FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have FINISHED my COURSE, I have KEPT the FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

“This CHARGE I commit unto thee, son 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.

I WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ‘FAITH” THAT THE ENEMY AND COHORTS ARE AFTER AND NOT THE MATERIAL GAINS, THE EVENTS AND HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE. Your FAITH is your VICTORY – and when the enemy and cohorts get your FAITH caught up by any chance – everything about you goes down – for your FAITH is your SHIELD in dealing with the challenges of life in the world and it’s system of operandi. Hence your FAITH on the WORD is an indispensable acquisition NEVER to trade about for any price or prize.

“Above all, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the WICKED” Ephesians 6:16.

“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.

The enemy and cohorts knows, if they can SUCCEED in getting you off your ‘FAITH’ – that’s your trust and dependence on God’s grace and absolute providence in Christ Jesus, they will not only ruin you but will also ruin all who God had orchestrated you to be His vessel of use to extend His BLESSEDNESS to them; knowing, when you succeed in achieving God’s intended PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in doing life and living godly by FAITH, others will be beneficiaries.

The enemy tried to destroy everything about our BELOVED JOB, but couldn’t crush his FAITH, and JOB by his FIGHT of FAITH for his FAITH, was able to come back far better off while declaring in the cause and course of his challenges – “I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE IS ABLE TO SAVE ME EVEN IN THIS FIGHT OF FAITH” (paraphrased).

“For I KNOW that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25.

The ENEMY and COHORTS tried it on Christ too, but he and cohorts eventually and completely lost the battle of the FAITH as it’s written:

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

“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

And I know for sure and assured certainty, the enemy and cohorts can’t succeed with you except you let him be – give them the needed permission to hurt you and your FAITH especially. Therefore, today, rise up to FIGHT for the GOOD FIGHT of your FAITH in Christ, for your FAITH worth FIGHTING for because your destiny and that of others depends on it; don’t just give up or backslide simply for a momentary lack; because I know you can and will come back better and best of times in life and godliness than you were before if you deal life through FAITH and PATIENCE – Hebrews 6:11-12; for you can win wholly, faithfully, triumphantly, victoriously, graciously and gracefully when your stand insured and assured of your FAITH in God’s unwavering ability and agility in you and through you. That’s all you need now, today and always.

NEVER GIVE THE ENEMY AND COHORTS THE OXYGEN THEY CRAVE TO HURT YOU IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

Therefore, don’t sit back or stay aloof, because the enemy and cohorts are envious of your worth and greatness, hence their intent. So, FIGHT! FIGHT!! and FIGHT!!! Don’t give up, or give in, I challenged you today. You must contend daily for your FAITH of God in Christ Jesus. You must RESIST by FAITH the enemy and cohorts steadfastly on daily basis, to keep your statuesque in life and grace. You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness by FAITH. YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“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 5:8-10.

I pray that as you stand by FAITH upon the grace for your JUSTIFICATION and ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus, that God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS may abound with you, in life and grace in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Have a blessed and awesome day.

“. . . And the Lord TURNED the captivity of Job, when he PRAYED for his friends: also the Lord gave Job TWICE as much as he had before. 11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. 12 So the Lord BLESSED THE LATTER END of Job MORE THAN HIS BEGINNING . . . 16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 17 So Job died, BEING OLD AND FULL OF DAYS” Job 42:10-17.

HAVING GOOD SUCCESS WITH GOD

November 29, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HAVING GOOD SUCCESS WITH GOD: IT’S ABOUT DILIGENCE NOT A COINCIDENCE!

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

SUCCESS to me is turning FAILURE inside out and does not happen by COINCIDENCE. It’s a consequence of God’s WORD at work; and an act of DILIGENCE with the principles of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and PRUDENCE toward maximising the God given resources of life – TIME, FINANCE, SKILL/TALENT and TOOL/MATERIAL and PEOPLE. And of a TRUTH, you need to know full well that God does miracle but not magic; hence, Success like Miracle are CAUSE to happen by the WORD and are not coincidental – meaning they don’t happen by coincidence.

Success in life is relative in terms but by virtue of grace you can be able to achieve success or be successful in that desired purposeful objective of life because that’s the Father God intent for you. (Romans 8:28-30; 3 John 2, Luke 12:32; Psalms 35:27; Job 36:11; Matthew 6:33).

When one walks in the path of diligence, and along the course with the rules of the game as in the Word of God, good success is inevitable; for God REWARDS DILIGENCE and over time you will intermingle with success and successful people in life and grace with God.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, NOBLE, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

Begin your day with DILIGENCE, which is doing life and making effort steadfastly, consistently and smartly in your set goal and objective; and over time, you will soonest share the joy of good success as many have achieved and keep achieving.

Walk in DILIGENCE. Don’t be in a HASTE to be a success as per been rich, you may find yourself doing the wrong and HEAVEN will not be on your side. When you believe God for your SUCCESS, you don’t have to COMPETE and COMPARE with any, knowing that DILIGENCE with God will pay off for your good in Him, in grace and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

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

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

“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he THAT BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:16.

“For we DARE not make ourselves of the number, or COMPARE ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

TO ENACT A NEVER-THE-LESS ENABLING: LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP FOR A CATCH!

It’s a beautiful NEW DAY that the CREATOR God has MADE and not the enemy and cohorts – that’s the reason to REJOICE and be GLAD in it – now and always – in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“This is the DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24.

No matter how much you’ve toiled in the last ELEVENTH MONTH, don’t give up, don’t loose heart and don’t give room to weariness and failure and self pity decorum. You may be at the verge of your ELEVENTH HOUR to break forth into your miracles and breakthrough over all the – mountains, valleys, crooked roads and rough places – that have stood AGAINST you in entering your DESIRED PLACES; more so, be set to breakthrough into that SET gracious position that tend to have defiled you and define you by standing as an OBSTACLE to your path of fulfilment and excellence.

All you need to do is to take an extra walk andon the WORK of FAITH against all odds and LAUNCH into the DEEP, that is, away from the SHALLOW of – intimidation, failure, fear and mediocrity – because your hour of great catch is come and it’s now in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And I proclaim in the name of Jesus, that as Peter and others believe the WORD, took a STEP OF FAITH ON THE WORD by declaring a NEVER-THE-LESS, in spite of their yesterday failures, and they LAUNCH into the DEEP by the WORD for a great CATCH, in same like spirit, may you LAUNCH in faith by the WORD, get your own CATCH in Jesus precious name. Amen. And may your CATCH be in grace on WHATSOEVER it is that’s named, that you desired of God, that your joy might be full in life and in the Lord, in Jesus precious name, Amen. And may your abundance of catch enlarge you beyond bounds, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

And may as you read these scripture of Luke 5:1-11 in full, may you receive the enabling grace to your BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS at thy WORD I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great MULTITUDE of FISHES: and their net brake. 7 And they BECKONED unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was ASTONISHED, and all that were with him, at the DRAUGHT of the fishes which they had taken . . .” (Luke 5:1-11)

DON’T GIVE UP – DON’T LOOSE HEARTS

November 29, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DON’T GIVE UP – DON’T LOOSE HEARTS – There Are Over 365 of ‘FEAR NOT’ In Bible Scriptures: At Least – There’s ONE For Each Day In A Year!

“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 4:17-19.

This Year may have been very difficult and challenging in many or all respect – but FEAR NOT. God will keep you from EVIL as you remain steadfast in the FAITH in the midst of the turbulence and circumstances around.

“GRACE be to you and PEACE from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

More so, God is FAITHFUL to keep you from ALL FEAR phobias. Just stay Stationed in the light of the Scriptures.

GOD CARES FOR YOU. GOD LOVES YOU. I PRAY YOU KNOW IT.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (WHOLE, COMPLETE, MATURE, FULLY), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of JUDGMENT (DIFFICULTY, CHALLENGE, QUESTION): 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. 19 We LOVE him, because he FIRST LOVED us” 1 John 4:17-19.

“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED AND REDEEMED his people, 69 and hath RAISED UP AN HORN OF SALVATION FOR US in the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED FROM OUR ENEMIES, and from THE HAND OF ALL THAT HATE US; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our enemies MIGHT SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

“FEAR thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ASHAMED and CONFOUNDED:they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that CONTENDED with thee: they that WAR against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, FEAR not; I will help thee. 14 FEAR not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel” Isaiah 41:10-14.

READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY

November 28, 2023 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY: I FOUND A WRIT ON THE BRITISH NEW TEN (£10) POUNDS NOTE!

“I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817.

While relocating to UK years ago, one of my one time British friend and work colleagues in the Oil Sectors Industry said to me and family this statement:

“If you can READ – you CAN’T and WON’T get LOSS and live MISINFORMED; and you WON’T get cheated out so easily in life by any – meaning, INFORMATION is free there and available but you have to MAKE the CONSCIOUS effort to READ to KNOW and OWN IT”.

Honestly, he was very right indeed – And from the step down at the famous Heathrow Airport London, UK till date, I have found his statement and candid advice useful – finding READABLE signpost to almost everything in everywhere and everyway – there is INFORMATION available for almost everything, much more now with internet connectivity age. And indeed – it’s No wonder it’s called the “MOTHER AND HOME OF DEMOCRACY”.

However, I didn’t question all these years or found out FULL WELL why my Oil Sectors colleagues made such profound statement knowing I am EDUCATED and of course can READ while working together. But I found out recently a major LANDMARK while about paying for a service at the shop of which I have NEVER bothered to look at nor examined. I took a close examination of the money in my hand to pay for the service I have received. Written in a small print on the British Ten (£10) Pounds Note, is this inscription that will forever stay with me “I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817. What an inspiring and empowering writ. Honestly, for such KNOWING as per the discovery that day, I changed my mind for once not to pay for the service received, with the cash note at hand, but paid instead with my debit card. It’s simply for such TREASURED INSCRIPTIONS that’s inspiring and empowering to TRIUMPH in life and grace. And it thus means so much to me also – the essence of READING that have defined and given triumph to an informed society that I’ve found myself dwelling.

It has REKINDLED me to now READ the more, ever than before though an Author in my own rights of books and literature publications; and especially, having a wife who does not welcome a wrongly spoken English at home. More so, in the words of my ever loving dear Mama who once said while getting me ready to be educated at School – “WE CAN’T ALL BE BLIND IN THIS HOUSE, SOMEBODY MUST READ AND WRITE – SO GO TO SCHOOL, AND SHE WILL PAY FOR IT”. I heard it and over again, I did left them that day with the mission as she said and later affirmed by my dad in same thoughts – to READ and WRITE, then the rest siblings followed suits and she paid along. Blessed she is, for her graciousnesss and gracefulness.

I challenge you today to see the NEED to READ. There’s TRIUMPH IN READING. Discovery gives recovery for self WORTH in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus stead. AND YOU CAN START TODAY. For there’s no LIMIT to what you can BECOME, if you RESOLVE and make the NEEDED conscious effort to be INFORMED in that which you intend to embark on or are dreading at right now, knowing being INFORMED will make all DIFFERENCE in doing life and godly living.

PUT AN END AND AT BAY TO IGNORANCE BY READING. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING EMANCIPATES, WHILE IGNORANCE IS DESTRUCTIVE AND CANCEROUS.

“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. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, but of HEARING THE WORDS of the Lord: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall not FIND it. 13 In that day shall the FAIR virgins and YOUNG men FAINT for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

Two wisdom statement that was made years ago in my journey of saying YES to God, that I read from a teaching magazine in my library of FAITH, is of two incredible women of great devotion to God’s calling upon their respective life’s with their husbands of gracious memories. The statement is relevant to me today as it was when I first read them and store the magazine in my library. And that has MADE me value history as layers that must be properly LAID because of the EFFECT that it defines for today, tomorrow and years untold.

PRESENT and to FASHION out NEW PATHS for our TOMORROW” **Archbishop Mama Margaret Benson-IDAHOSA – (Archbishop, Church of God Mission International, Benin city, Nigeria).

Undeniable humble beginnings that have become a global insights and foresights in every respect. Never a day of regret to the answer of the HEAVENLY mandate for the earthly affairs as His ambassador and representative under heaven, for the cause of humanity, in Christ Jesus stead. To say YES LORD TO YOUR WILL YEARS AGO, WORTH IT IN EVERY MEASURE FOR THEN, TODAY AND TOMORROW.

For we are not FOOLS, who chooses and prioritise the call to take the CROSS daily and follow Him to the taking of the CROWN as would have been preferred by some. This have always been my ANSWER to those who question the Ministerial Call of the cross to their preferred crown for my Engineering field.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to EVERY one that BELIEVETH; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

It’s worth REFLECTING now and always – for it keeps one focus from various distractions that abounds today. Thank you LORD God for the PRIVILEGE to be CALLED to SERVE in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
