LOVE AT ITS BEST

June 10, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being showed with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good things or goodies while their short falls in real life failings are never mentioned or told them, which will rather help them amend, brase up, mature and grow; but not until they found themselves in the break points of life deceptions, because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life.

HEREIN ARE THREE OF LOTS IN LOVE TO GIVE THOUGHTS, In Order To Help A Friend, Spouse And Those You Love And Cares About:

*** LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ helps to SAVE! – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

*** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ helps to AMEND! – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

*** Love that ‘OVERLOOKS/MAKES UP’ and helps to DELIVER from further sins! – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall cover (overlook, makes up) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth (overlook) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

“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 . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

Worth Pondering – OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING

June 9, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Worth Pondering – OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING: For God’s LovedWorld – Is A Giving World!

God’s LovedWorld is an awesome world of LOVE – Don’t be Selfish about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish and greedy.

The LovedWorld of God, is made to be liveable, likeable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. Same are the humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and life in check. This cycle keeps life going everyday. It’s a GIVING world, hence it’s LovedWorld – Likeable, Liveable and Enjoyable!

God so love, He gave! Love gives. Where God’s love is, giving goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such likes and more to the needy one.

It’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers never goes down no matter what, this I know so well; and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35

“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it” Proverbs 11:24-26.

God’s LOVED World

June 8, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

God’s LOVED World – The Antidote To The HATE World: Only POSSIBLE In God’s Love WORD!

In a world full of the undoing of others by some across the board: family, community, society and world; where hatred, evil and wickedness and perversions of all sorts exist; what human hearts need is a loving friend and friendship to avert such WICKEDNESS and EVIL.

IN GOD’S LOVED WORLD, WE RESPOND BY THE WORD. WE DON’T REACT BY OUR SENSES (FEEL, TASTE, SMELL, FEEL, SEE), OTHERWISE WE MAY END UP BEING HURT, HATE, BITTER, UNFORGIVING, DEPRESSED, PHOBIA AND SUCH LIKES.

God has promised to see you through in LOVE, in His LOVED WORLD from the present EVIL DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD as in the Holy Writ – The HOLY ‘BIBLE’ – Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal. And God has ensured and commended us to the Holy Spirit of love, to make it possible in 24/7, to love too in the face of adverse uncertainty.

“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.

“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.

Jesus had made the act to love a command and not an advice. God will only commend what He commands, therefore let God’s love rule your day as you take on with people. It is in this act of living and walking in God’s love shall you be known as a Follower of Christ, not by religious gimmicks and oblations.

LET GOD’S LOVE RULE & REIGN IN & THROUGH YOU TO – OUR HATE & EVIL WORLD OF DARKNESS.

Every grace and blessings.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO YOU, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another. 35 By this all will know that you are MY DISCIPLES, if you have LOVE for one another” John 13:34-35.

“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

OCCUPY TILL I COME

June 5, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME: Earthly Useful And Heavenly Minded – LIVING & WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this we can Occupy In Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:

*1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.

*2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

*3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).

Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

GROWING In GRACE

May 22, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GROWING In GRACE: GLOWING In Christ Jesus Stead!

LIVING is GROWING, and GROWING means being TRANSFORMED from GLORY to GLORY into the likeness, image-personality and fullness of the knowledge of Christ. It’s us glowing into the fullness of God’s enabling GRACE to Become Him in Him.

GROWING enhance your ability to THRIVE in life. Therefore GROW IN GRACE that you might GLOW IN CHRIST. Amen.

GROW IN GRACE to GLOW in Christ Jesus Stead is a voice or phrase that should be overwhelming us daily. For life is only WORTH LIVING in Him as we THRIVE in His GRACE!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

New Day – The New Creation Mindset

May 19, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

New Day – The New Creation Mindset: Truly Free Indeed – Do you perceive the same in your being!

What is it that sets you up and enlightened your day, every morning? Is it based on – the house you live; the sorts of car you drive; the size of your bank account; the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; the career you are into; the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to be a Pastor and Pastoring; the trophies, ornaments, treasures or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; WHAT SETS YOU UP AND BRIGHTENS UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND?

For me, is the KNOWING and being ASSURED that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That God’s loves me and HIS presence lives in me and with me and for me – That’s PRICELESS! That’s what gives me hope, faith and the needed love and synergy to win my day for me and all about me for others.

More so, the KNOWING that the NEW CREATION have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it CAN’T hold back my today and future anymore because of what Jesus has done to wash them away and cleans me from EVERY unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood.

What a true freedom, to live ASSURED from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. Amen. Much more, the KNOWING that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me – That’s GRACIOUS indeed. Selah!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [b]whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15.

“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible).

The NEW CREATION Have No PAST

May 18, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The NEW CREATION Have No PAST: You Can BECOME What You BELIEVE In GRACE!

If any man be in Christ, He is a New Creation – is that difficult to know and understand?

I reason and know at baby birth, watching my lovely and beautiful wife bringing forth the wonderful and fabulous children to BEING, that each of them had no history for me to reckon them to for any reason. I see in them a brand new personality arriving to chart a NEW PATH of life. I saw no PAST but NEW Dawn to create the atmosphere they love to have and enjoy in grace and life.

That’s what I PERCEIVE when I gave my life to Christ Jesus – that my PAST has become irrelevant and a NEW me in Christ Jesus is BORN and DAWN, for uniqueness and greatness in relation to all about me in God’s REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Upon the above scenario I am emboldened to say to you – Don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear phobias of starting or completing your life intended plans, purposes and pursuits because of your PAST. For your PAST can’t hold back YOUR TODAY in Christ Jesus except you BELIEVE in it and PERMIT it.

God’s REDEMPTION for you in Christ Jesus has certified your full JOY and HAPPINESS that your PAST is insignificance to the DONE DEED to make you a NEW CREATION.

I want you to know full well that your FAITH in God can go killing giants and ACHIEVING GREATNESS, even when it seems all things has come to a halt, as you keep ACTING on the WORD. For FAITH is ACTING in and on what you BELIEVE on God’s eternal WORD accordingly. Meaning, nothing can stop you from BECOMING when you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH in Christ Jesus alive.

Therefore, DARE TO DREAM AGAIN, DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN and DARE TO BECOME AGAIN. That’s what I considered to be the spirit behind every PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS with an achiever mindset to BECOME in Christ Jesus stead. Amen – Romans 4:16-25.

Finally, Jesus said, “. . . ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” (Matthew 9:29) – that means, by your FAITH in Him through His WORD, BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17.

“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).

The Promised DAILY LOADED BENEFITS

May 16, 2017 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The Promised DAILY LOADED BENEFITS: It’s To ENHANCE The AUTHENTICATION of our REDEMPTION!

Our God does not only wants to meet up with our Daily Bread needs but He wants also to shower us with His ADD-ON BONUS, the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS – embedded in our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus stead. Imagine having BONUS, an ADD-ON to your your normal daily earnings; that’s what it means to have BENEFITS to the NORMS daily BREAD that is generalised to ALL when you pray.

Our God will daily loads us with His benefits in REDEMPTION in order to authenticate our salvation in Him. That’s why you must not give up or give in to any limiting circumstances until you begin to actualised God’s benefiting WILL, in your DAILY life.

Herein are simple few major reasons though not limited why Father God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit in His WORD will authenticate His Daily Benefits:

* That you have in all sufficiency & abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby give Him thanks. Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2.

* That the Gospel might advance & the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9.

* That you have plenty left over to give to others in great needs without murmuring withholding and complaining. Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38.

* To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes people away from the FAITH. And in seeking answers fall prey of ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper and achieve the desired greatness. Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3.

* To cleanse the Church of evil. POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality leads to stealing, robbery, bribery and such likes. Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34.

* To keep and establish the righteous in Dominion. Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12.

* To establish authenticate His covenant. Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the God of our SALVATION (REDEMPTION). Selah” Psalms 68:19 (Emphasis Mine).

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us THIS DAY our DAILY BREAD . . .” Matthew 6:9-15.
