THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM 

June 22, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING! 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

WHEN PEOPLE FAIL BADLY IN LIFE AND GODLINESS 
It is not merely only for not KNOWING — it is also for not UNDERSTANDING what they claim to know, and the PURPOSE and CONTEXT of a given cause to them. 

Hence, I have always said, and I will always say again and again that: 
“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT.” 

Having an idea is good. KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. 

I have seen the assumed rich fall from penthouse glory to become beggars. 
And I have also seen the once poverty-stricken rise from grass to grace through KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the context of what is known, in doing life and godly living. 

When the assumed rich only land into wealth by mere knowledge born out of opportunity and zealousness, and without the understanding of the context — the know-how to sustain that position — the expectation fails woefully. 

In the same scenario, if a once poverty-stricken person takes to knowledge, accompanied with the know-how, and with the understanding of the demand of such context, certainly that person in that journey will arrive and live up to the demand to sustain and maintain it. 

This is the how to do life in godliness, in all matters and in the face of likely challenges in life. 
This is the how to weather through the set conditions to the matter in question. 
And this is the how to become in the midst of the irrelevance about the context.  

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t UNDERSTAND each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. 

That’s why a lack of the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the PURPOSE of a relationship leads to an abusive [abnormal use] relationship. 

So, be intentional and pragmatic to strive to know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you can keep blossoming, refreshing, rekindling, and rejuvenating in all weathers. 
Do this in order to ensure you are living in answered prayers in life. 

For WISDOM IS the application of KNOWLEDGE, which is the by-access to UNDERSTANDING leading to deliverance and BLESSEDNESS in the grace. 

And it is through KNOWLEDGE we can grasp the BLESSEDNESS of God unto fulfilment, in life and grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
Amen. 

“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered . . .” 1 Peter 3:7-12. 

“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. 

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others one day – leading to loss of trust, financial power, personnel and such like. For as the saying goes: 

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS” 

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the context and etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant, erroneous and a wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan: humility in His service breeds His exaltation anything otherwise, God despises and brings to a fall. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6. 

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental government, or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL and FINANCE under your watch. It takes INFORMED – knowledgeable and understandable – LEADERS, to LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while the UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up being RULERS – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. And I say to you today and now – WHICH ARE YOU – A LEADER or A RULER? 

More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING toward a set PRINCIPLE, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure. It will cause you to not take the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions – also, a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS. 

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve in life under God meaningfully and to be fulfilled in any driven cause too. Also, a lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING to a cause, makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others. 

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s scripturally GOOD and PROFITABLE in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. I plead with you therefore to pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your about KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY in context of the known thereby achieving meaningfully and purposefully in fulfilment of one’s endeavour. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12. 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)“ Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine. 

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23. 

SUMMARY 

This message is a charge to pursue UNDERSTANDING as the principal thing. The message declares that failure in life and godliness is not just from not KNOWING, but from not UNDERSTANDING the purpose and context of what we know. 
Anchored on Proverbs 4:7 — “WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore, get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING LEADS TO FAILURE
    Proverbs 21:16— The man that wanders out of the way of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the congregation of the dead. 
    Examples: 
  • The “assumed rich” fall from penthouse to beggar when they have knowledge/zeal but no understanding of how to sustain it. 
  • The once poor rise from grass to grace when they combine knowledge + understanding + know-how. 
    Genesis 8:22 — Life operates by seedtime, harvest, seasons. You must understand the context to succeed. 
  1. UNDERSTANDING IN RELATIONSHIPS
    1 Peter 3:7 — “dwell with them according to KNOWLEDGE”
    Knowing your spouse is good, but not UNDERSTANDING each other leads to “bomb explosion” and abusive [abnormal-use] relationships. 
    Be intentional daily to know and understand so you keep blossoming, refreshing, and live in answered prayers. 
    WISDOM IS the application of knowledge which gives access to understanding → deliverance and blessedness. 
  1. UNDERSTANDING IN CAREER, TRADE & MINISTRY
    “A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS” — Lack of understanding in your career leads to loss of trust, finance, and personnel.
    Gospel Ministry: Without understanding the context of being a Shepherd, you become hypocritical, arrogant, and a wolf in sheep’s clothing. 
    Instead of CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become CHIEF OF LORDSHIP. 
    Mark 10:35-45; 1 Peter 5:5-6 — Humility breeds exaltation. God despises pride. 
  1. UNDERSTANDING IN LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE
    To lead in private, NGO, or government is good, but without UNDERSTANDING you will destroy people’s TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIALS, and FINANCES.
    INFORMED LEADERS lead with humanity and empathy. 
    UNINFORMED RULERS become bossy, authoritarian, autocratic, emperor-like. 
    Question: WHICH ARE YOU — A LEADER or A RULER?  
  1. UNDERSTANDING AND PRINCIPLE
    A LACK of UNDERSTANDING toward principle makes you REACT, make excuses, blame others, and avoid RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY.
    It also leads to lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING and no meaningful RESULTS. 
    UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing is the enabling grace to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled under God. 
    Without it, people live without PURPOSE and FULFILMENT. 
  2. THE FORMULA: WISDOM
    WISDOM = KNOWLEDGE + UNDERSTANDING 
    It is based on PRINCIPLE. It is scripturally GOOD and PROFITABLE for godly living Ecclesiastes 7:11-12. 
    Wisdom is a DEFENCE and LIFE-GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. 
    2 Peter 1:2-4 — Through the KNOWLEDGE of God and Jesus, His divine power gives us all things for life and godliness. 
    Ephesians 1:17-18 — Pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation, and eyes of UNDERSTANDING being enlightened. 

CALL TO ACTION: 

TO ALL BELIEVERS: 

  • Pursue UNDERSTANDING — In all your getting, get understanding Proverbs 4:7. Don’t just know. Understand the purpose and context. 
  • Apply What You Know — Understanding helps you APPLY in context and fulfil your endeavour meaningfully. 
  • Take Responsibility — Stop reacting and blaming. Walk in accountability under God’s principles. 
  • Live by Wisdom — Let knowledge + understanding produce wisdom that defends you, gives life, and leads to blessedness in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK: Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR Proverbs 13:15. Get wisdom. Get understanding

THE BLESSEDNESS OF FATHERHOOD

June 21, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF FATHERHOOD: MY PRAYERS FOR YOUR BEING FATHERLY IN THE GRACE!  

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21/NKJV. 

Whatever your spectrum or station in life, you can take a stand, posture, and position in fatherhood to live fatherly for the good of others – whether biological, adopted, fostered, or as a guardian. Know that God sees you, knows you, and calls you by name. He knows your labour in the fatherly process in Christ Jesus. Knowing that God has your back should encourage you to serve joyfully in the parenting cause, assured that your labour shall be rewarded in His grace.  

So, keep pressing on to remain a good-hearted father in life and godliness. Do not let your hands be weakened in your fatherly efforts, even when you are not fully approved or appreciated. You labour for a cause under God in Christ Jesus’ stead [Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:10-12; John 18:37; 1 John 3:8]. Be steadfast in the faith, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 

“But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded” 2 Chronicles 15:7/NKJV. 

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58/NKJV. 

Remember: what you leave in your naturing supersedes what you leave for your naturing. It is only what you leave in them that will sustain what you leave for them when you are gone. Isaac almost gave up despite all Abraham left for him (Genesis 25:5-11), because nothing was yet in him until God Himself intervened (Genesis 26:1–5, 12–14). What you leave in people counts and accounts for their today and tomorrow. God has left His enabling in us, in Christ Jesus, to help us make up the difference in all aspects of life. 

“That the sharing [communication, fellowship] of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/NKJJV/Emphasis mine. 

“A good [upright, righteous] man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous” Proverbs 13:22/NKJV/Emphasis mine. 

Three essentials you must ensure are left in them: 

  • VALUES – They can only treasure what they truly value in life and grace (Matthew 6:19-21 [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6]). 
  • ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY – Build with posterity [next generation] in mind, avoid decisions that derail the legacy for future generations [Genesis 18:19; Proverbs 13:22; Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified]. This saves them from the bondage of the self-trinity: “I, ME, and MYSELF”, for gain is not godliness [Luke 15:11-32; 1 Timothy 6:3-10]. 
  • ACCOUNTABILITY – This instils responsibility so that values and legacy do not stop with them but abound for the good of all (John 15:9-17). 

I pray for you, as Apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesians (Ephesians 3:14-15), that as you are named after God in Christ Jesus, you uphold these three essentials: values, architectural legacy, and accountability. May they shape your fatherhood in life and grace, ensuring the assured promises of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not unjust [unrighteous, ungrateful, unfaithful] to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

SUMMARY:  

This message is a prayerful charge to all fathers and father-figures. The message declares that the blessedness of fatherhood is found in living fatherly in God’s grace, leaving spiritual values and legacy in people, not just material things. 

It is anchored on Ephesians 3:14-21 — praying for strength in the inner man, Christ dwelling in the heart, and being rooted in the love of Christ. Fatherhood applies to biological, adopted, fostered children, or as a guardian. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. FATHERHOOD IS A CALLING FROM THE FATHER OF ALL
    Ephesians 3:14-15— The whole family in heaven and earth is named from the Father. 
    God sees you, knows you by name, and calls you to take a stand in fatherhood. He does not forget your labour of love Hebrews 6:10. 
  2. STRENGTH AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FATHERS
    Ephesians 3:16-19 — Pray for strength through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your heart and you be rooted in love.
    2 Chronicles 15:7 + 1 Corinthians 15:58 — Be strong, do not let your hands be weak. Your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 
    Even when you are not approved or appreciated, God has your back and will reward you. 
  3. WHAT YOU LEAVE IN THEM MATTERS MORE THAN WHAT YOU LEAVE FOR THEM
    Proverbs 13:22 — A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.
    Genesis 25-26 — Isaac almost gave up despite what Abraham left, until God intervened. 
    Philemon 1:6 — Effectiveness comes by acknowledging every good thing that is IN you IN Christ Jesus. 
    Material inheritance without spiritual substance cannot sustain the next generation. 
  4. THE 3 ESSENTIALS TO LEAVE IN THEM:
    1.VALUES — Matthew 6:19-21 What they treasure. Teach them to value God, grace, and eternal things above earthly wealth. 
    2. ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY — Genesis 18:19, Ecclesiastes 3:11 Build with posterity in mind. Avoid decisions that derail future generations. Don’t live for “I, ME, MYSELF”. 
    3. ACCOUNTABILITY — John 15:9-17 Instil responsibility, so values and legacy continue and abound for the good of all. 
  5. THE GOAL: FILLED WITH THE FULNESS OF GOD
    Ephesians 3:19 — That you may be filled with all the fulness of God.
    Hebrews 6:11-12 — Show diligence to the full assurance of hope. Don’t be sluggish but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

CALL TO ACTION: 

TO ALL FATHERS AND GUARDIANS: 

  1. Stay Rooted in Grace — Let Christ dwell in you. Be strengthened in the inner man by the Spirit so you can father from love. 
  2. Leave the Right Inheritance — Prioritise leaving VALUES, ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY, and ACCOUNTABILITY in your children over just wealth. 
  3. Do Not Grow Weary — Be steadfast and immovable. Your fatherly labour is seen by God and shall be rewarded. 
  4. Father for Posterity — Make decisions today that bless the next generation and keep them from the bondage of selfishness. 

Amen. May God’s grace establish you to be fatherly in life and godliness, for the blessedness that accompanies salvation.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION 

May 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]! 

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

Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God. 

That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observe people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable. 

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning, God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25]. 

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25. 

Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context: 

  1. SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).
  2. IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).
  3. THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4). 

God does not want us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him. 

This is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead. 

I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN. 

THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURES THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. 

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

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31. 

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25. 

“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast MADE me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100. 

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22. 

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27. 

“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. 

“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9. 

 Further Scriptural Reading Text: 2 Peter 3:1-9. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of knowing and understanding the Scriptures, highlighting that ignorance of God’s Word can lead to deception and error. Jesus’ response to the Sadducees in Matthew 22:29 serves as a warning: “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God”. 

Key Points: 

  • The Dangers of Ignorance: Ignorance of the Scriptures and God’s power can lead to deception and error (Matthew 22:29, Romans 1:18-32). 
  • The Importance of Obedience: God wants us to be doers of His Word, not just hearers (James 1:22-25). 
  • The Consequences of Rationalism: Rationalism can lead to self-deception, ignorance of spiritual truths, and disbelief in divine intervention (Romans 1:18-32, Acts 13:27, 2 Peter 3:1-9). 

Scriptural References: 

  • Matthew 22:29 – Jesus’ warning about ignorance of Scriptures and God’s power 
  • James 1:22-25 – The importance of being doers of God’s Word 
  • Romans 1:18-32 – The consequences of ignoring God’s truth 
  • Acts 13:27 – Ignorance of God’s plan led to Jesus’ rejection 
  • 2 Peter 3:1-9 – God’s patience and desire for all to come to repentance 

The message encourages believers to prioritise knowing and understanding God’s Word, recognising the dangers of ignorance and rationalism. By being doers of God’s Word, we can avoid deception and live a life that honours Him.

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE

May 3, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING AND PASSION! 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

The principle of good success, excellence, and genuine prosperity is built on a process. That’s why whatever happens without a process is a fraud, for even in our redemption, our God, ensures it all works out in a process to and in Christ Jesus, and not by magical appearance. For genuine miracle is a consequence of God’s WORD that’s scripturally activated in a process within the context. Hence, I have always said, and will always say, ‘until you UNDERSTAND whatever you claimed to KNOW or to have KNOWN in any matter of life and godliness, you are not better than the IGNORANT and the UNWISE fool’. For wisdom to succeed, prosper and excel in life is the application of knowledge. And the act of application requires an understanding of the process of the matter in context. So, there’s the need for the understanding to accompany any knowledgeable context, in order for the needed wisdom that attracts divine favours to be in operations. 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient] is HARD [Difficult Challenging, Rough]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine. 

Having an idea is good, understanding your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one-time poverty-stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal without understanding the take and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty-stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all challenges and changes of sphere, in life weather conditions. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish, Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine. 

In the context of discussion, it thus means that: 

  • Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. 

 

  • Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause you a problem for yourself and to others probably one day. 

 

  • Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing. 

 

  • Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position in terms of – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS [PHYSICAL/MENTAL EXERTION], MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and FINANCE under your watch. 
  • More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS. 

In UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a thing is ACHIEVED with GRACE. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without PURPOSE for themselves and others. It’s time to be PRINCIPLED by doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY through UNDERSTANDING in the GRACE wherein we stand to become all that God in Christ Jesus has done in us, is doing in us and through us by His WORD and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT of grace. Amen. 

I know why the difference, the scriptures have an answer in all in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient) is HARD (Difficult Challenging, Rough)” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish, Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of UNDERSTANDING in profiting in God’s grace and achieving success in life.  

Key Points: 

  • WISDOM is principal, but understanding is crucial for applying knowledge and achieving success (Proverbs 4:7). 
  • Without understanding, knowledge and passion can lead to failure and difficulties (Proverbs 13:15). 
  • Understanding helps you navigate life, relationships, career, and ministry effectively (Proverbs 21:16). 

Lack of understanding leads to: 

  • Reacting instead of responding 
  • Making excuses and blaming others 
  • Lack of responsibility and accountability 
  • Living without purpose 
  • UNDERSTANDING brings favour, wisdom, and purpose in God’s grace. 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Proverbs 4:7 – Get wisdom and understanding 
  • Proverbs 13:15 – Good understanding gives favor 
  • Proverbs 21:16 – Wander out of understanding’s way = unproductive 

The message urges believers to seek understanding in all aspects of life to achieve genuine success, excel in God’s grace, and live purposefully.

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION  

October 27, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION: IT’S A MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY! 

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD them out, and which may BRING them in; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not as SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD” Number 27:15-17. 

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which cometh upon me DAILY, THE CARE of ALL the CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28. 

Being called by Father God to the place of FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance His RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus is preciously precious and must be faithfully treasured without measure. And more so, being given the opportunity and privilege as one SET-APART to lead His people and to feed them with knowledge and understanding, it’s at a cost and for a purpose. And it’s imperative that such rare apportion cause to do life and live godly is given such blessed regards without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation by all and any means at all. 

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20. 

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

Our Father God is jealous over His redeemed precious people that He has chosen to be a special called generation, a holy and peculiar people, that are to show forth and showcase His glory, majesty and grace to others – by bringing them into the light of life. 

Therefore, know of a TRUTH this day, in this moment that being a God’s SET-MAN for the congregation, it’s a ministerial responsibility and accountability, and the principle to upheld it with dignity and grace must be fully accorded without reservation if you must fulfill the purpose meaningfully. 

It’s my prayers that you find grace, wisdom and speed in God’s presence and blessedness, as one set apart to meaningfully fulfil God’s cause and purpose, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have RECEIVED mercy, we FAINT NOT; 2 but have RENOUNCED the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness, nor HANDLING the word of God deceitfully; but by MANIFESTATION of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God . . . 5 For we PREACH NOT OURSELVES, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your SERVANTS for Jesus’ sake. 6 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. 7 But we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER may be of God, and not of us . . . 16 For which cause we FAINT NOT; but though our OUTWARD MAN PERISH, yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day. 17 For our LIGHT AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, WORKETH FOR US a far MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL weight of glory; 18 while we LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18. 

“And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for THE PERFECTING of the saints, for THE WORK of the ministry, for THE EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in THE UNITY of the faith, and of THE KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto THE MEASURE of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking THE TRUTH in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16. 

“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. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, FOLLOW ME” John 21:15-19.

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

June 22, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!
 
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
 
When People FAILED badly in life and godliness – it’s not merely ONLY for not KNOWING – it’s also, for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE and CONTEXT of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say again and again that:
“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”
 
Having an idea is good, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen also, the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. When the assumed rich just landed into wealth by only a mere knowledge born out of opportunities and zealousness without the understanding of the context on what the take on and know-how to sustain the position – it thus fails woefully; in same scenario, if a once poverty stricken person took to knowledge and know-how along with the understanding of the demand to such context; and certainly, such a person in that journey, will arrive there and live up to the demands to sustain and maintain it – and how to deal with the likely challenges in life; and the how to weather through the set conditions to the matter in question, and the how to become in the midst of the irrelevance about the context.
 
“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.
 
Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. That’s why a lack of the knowing and understanding of the purpose of a relationship leads to an abusive – abnormal use – relationship. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you can keep blossoming, refreshing, rekindling and rejuvenating in all weathers of having an answer prayers in life. For WISDOM IS the application of KNOWLEDGE which is, the by-access to understanding leading to deliverance and BLESSEDNESS in the grace. And it’s through KNOWLEDGE we can grasp the BLESSEDNESS of God to fulfilment, in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered . . .” 1 Peter 3:7-12.
 
“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.
 
Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day – leading to loss of trust, financial power, personnel and such like.
 
For as the saying goes:
 
“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”
 
Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the context and etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant, erroneous and a wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation anything otherwise, God despises and brings to a fall. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.
 
To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL and FINANCE under your watch. It takes INFORMED – knowledgeable and understandable – LEADERS, to LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while the UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. And I say to you today and now – WHICH ARE YOU – A LEADER or A RULER?
 
More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING toward a set PRINCIPLE, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you to not take the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions – also, a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.
 
UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve in life under God meaningfully and to be fulfilled in any driven cause too. Also, a lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING to a cause, makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.
 
WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s scripturally GOOD and PROFITABLE in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. I plead with you therefore to pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your about KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY in context of the known thereby achieving meaningfully and purposefully in fulfillment of ones endeavour. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.
 
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
 
“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.
 
“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
 
“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION

May 4, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]!
 
“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.
 
“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).
 
Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God.
 
That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observed people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable.
 
God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25].
 
“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.
 
Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context:
1. SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).
2. IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).
3. THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).
 
God does not wants us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of the “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him.
 
This Is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.
 
I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.
 
THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURED THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.
 
“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).
 
“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.
 
“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.
 
“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast MADE me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.
 
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22.
 
“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.
 
“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.
 
“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.
 
Further Scriptural Reading Text: 2 Peter 3:1-9.

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE

May 3, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING AND PASSION!
 
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
 
The principle of good success, excellence and genuine prosperity, is built on a process. That’s why whatever happens without a process is a fraud, for even in our redemption, our God, ensures it all works out in a process to and in Christ Jesus, and not by magical appearance. For genuine miracle is a consequence of God’s WORD that’s scripturally activated in a process within the context. Hence I have always said, and will always say, ‘until you UNDERSTAND whatever you claimed to KNOW or to have KNOWN in any matter of life and godliness, you are not better than the IGNORANT and the UNWISE fool’.
 
For the wisdom to succeed, prosper and excel in life is the application of knowledge. And the act of application requires an understanding of the process of the matter in context. So, there’s the need for the understanding to accompany any knowledgeable context, in order for the needed wisdom that attracts divine favours to be in operations.
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient] is HARD [Difficult Challenging, Rough]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine.
 
Having an idea is good, understanding your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal without understanding the take and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all challenges and changes of sphere, in life weather conditions.
 
“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish , Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine.
In the context of discussion, it thus means that:
 
Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day.
 
Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause you a problem to yourself and to others probably one day.
 
Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing.
 
Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position in terms of – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS [PHYSICAL/MENTAL EXERTION], MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and FINANCE under your watch.
 
More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.
 
In UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a thing is ACHIEVE with GRACE. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without PURPOSE for themselves and others. It’s time to be PRINCIPLED by doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY through UNDERSTANDING in the GRACE wherein we stand to become all that God in Christ Jesus has done in us, is doing in us and through us by His WORD and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT of grace. Amen.
 
I know why the difference, the scriptures has an answer in all in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION

October 27, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION: IT’S A MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD them out, and which may BRING them in; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not as SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD” Number 27:15-17.

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which cometh upon me DAILY, THE CARE of ALL the CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28.

Being called by Father God to the place of FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance His RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus is preciously precious and must be faithfully treasured without measure. And more so, being given the opportunity and privilege as one SET-APART to lead His people and to feed them with knowledge and understanding, it’s at a cost and for a purpose. And it’s imperative that such rare apportion cause to do life and live godly it’s given such blessed regards without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation by all and any means at all.

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20.

Our Father God is jealous over His redeemed precious people that He has chosen to be a special called generation, a holy and peculiar people, that are to show forth and showcase His glory, majesty and grace to others – by bringing them into the light of life.

Therefore, know of a TRUTH this day, in this moment that being a God’s SET-MAN for the congregation, it’s a ministerial responsibility and accountability, and the principle to upheld it with dignity and grace must be fully accorded without reservation if you must fulfill the purpose meaningfully.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have RECEIVED mercy, we FAINT NOT; 2 but have RENOUNCED the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness, nor HANDLING the word of God deceitfully; but by MANIFESTATION of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God . . . 5 For we PREACH NOT OURSELVES, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your SERVANTS for Jesus’ sake. 6 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. 7 But we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER may be of God, and not of us . . .  16 For which cause we FAINT NOT; but though our OUTWARD MAN PERISH, yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day. 17 For our LIGHT AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, WORKETH FOR US a far MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL weight of glory; 18 while we LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18.

“And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for THE PERFECTING of the saints, for THE WORK of the ministry, for THE EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in THE UNITY of the faith, and of THE KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto THE MEASURE of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking THE TRUTH in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16.

“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. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, FOLLOW ME” John 21:15-19.

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

June 23, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

When People FAILED badly in life and godliness – it’s not merely for not KNOWING – it’s for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE and CONTEXT of a given cause to them. Hence,  I have always said, and will always say again and again that:

“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”

Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen also, the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. When the assumed rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge born out of opportunities and zealousness without the understanding of the context on what the take on and know-how to sustain the position – it thus fails woefully; in same scenario, if a once poverty stricken person took to knowledge and know-how along with the understanding of the demand to such context, certainly such a person in that journey, will arrive there and live up to the demands to sustain it – and the likely challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter will become irrelevant too.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. That’s why a lack of the knowing and understanding of the purpose of a relationship leads to an abusive – abnormal use – relationship. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you can keep blossoming, refreshing, rekindling and rejuvenating in all weathers of life.

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the context and etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant, erroneous and a wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation anything otherwise, God despises and brings to a fall. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL and FINANCE under your watch. It takes INFORMED – knowledgeable and understandable – LEADERS, to LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while the UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. And I say to you today and now – WHICH ARE YOU – A LEADER or A RULER?

More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING toward a set PRINCIPLE, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you  to not take the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions – also, a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the  needed enabling grace in order to achieve in life under God meaningfully and to be fulfilled in any driven cause too. Also, a lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING to a cause, makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s scripturally GOOD and PROFITABLE in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. I plead with you therefore to pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your about KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY in context of the known thereby achieving meaningfully and purposefully in  fulfillment of ones endeavour. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.
