DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

June 11, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

God wants you strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the only resource to FUNCTION and BECOME strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS is you DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus’ stead. That’s what the Apostles were living with and through to advance the cause of the Kingdom of our God and to keep the enemy at bay. They were emboldened to witness for the cause of the Gospel because the great enabling of grace and power of God by the Holy Spirit was active in their work in the Lord God. And upon such act of grace they stand firmly in the faith to authenticate and enact whom they believe and what they believe and why they believe.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 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 1:1-4.

Apostle Paul was emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus, who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger by the of enabling – POWER and GRACE of Christ Jesus’ stead. This grace meets his lack and limitations, and turns every situation that appears to be failing into a place of sufficiency. It turns his weakness, failures, and infirmities into strength.

It is Christ Jesus’ enabling POWER and GRACE that empowers Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living – in all we can comprehend of His exploits in the kingdom, His cause, and His fulfilment in life and ministry.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“And He said to me, “My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGHT is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly -in the very place you are called, and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). God wants you to be strong and emboldened in the faith as you do life and live godly, by Him, in Christ Jesus’ stead.

Hence, you need to ask yourself honest questions to know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

Let your strength come from the Lord in every aspect of doing life, by God’s enabling power and grace.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak BOLDLY, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10, 19-20.

And considering all your rising early and coming in late – your day-to-day routines and schedules – How strong or strengthened are you today in doing Life and being Godly? How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

How weak and insufficient are you for the demands of Life and Godly Living? How do you endeavour to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT? These, and many other questions not mentioned, you must present to yourself in the pursuit of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journey.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

SUMMARY:

The Central Thesis: God’s Design for You

God does not want you to merely SURVIVE, but to THRIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly. This is possible because you are already called and endowed with ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness, by His Divine Power [2 Peter 1:2-4].

The only resource to FUNCTION and BECOME strong in this life is to deliberately DARE to live by God’s enabling — POWER and GRACE given through Christ Jesus.

KEY POINTS:

Biblical Foundation: The Apostles’ Example

The message uses Acts 4:31,33 as the pattern: After prayer, the believers were FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and with GREAT POWER and GREAT GRACE they witnessed boldly.

That same enabling of grace and power by the Holy Spirit kept the enemy at bay, emboldened them for the Gospel, and made them stand firm to authenticate what they believe, whom they believe, and why they believe [Romans 5:1-2].

The Paul Principle: Sufficiency in Weakness

Apostle Paul’s life is the case study:
Emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens [Philippians 4:13].
Grace meets lack and limitations and turns failing situations into sufficiency.
Weakness, failures, infirmities → turned into strength [2 Corinthians 12:9].

Result: Paul was empowered to FUNCTION and BECOME in Life and Godly Living, fulfilling his Kingdom cause and ministry.

The Call to Self-Examination

Because you are called to Godly Living by God’s Power and Grace, not your own abilities, you must ask yourself:

Am I living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by my own ABILITIES?

Considering all the pressure of “rising early and coming in late,” how strong, strengthened, sufficient, or weak am I today for the demands of Life and Godly Living?

How do I FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT?

You must present these questions to yourself as you pursue your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journey [Ephesians 6:10, 19-20].

The Promise & Posture

Justification by Faith gives you PEACE with God and ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein you STAND [Romans 5:1-2].
His Divine Power has already given you ALL THINGS for life and godliness, and EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES so you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE [2 Peter 1:1-4].
Command: “Be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might” and speak BOLDLY [Ephesians 6:10, 19-20].

Closing Benediction: Be blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

Key Themes in One Line:

Strength, Sufficiency, and Fulfilment are not by human effort, but by daring to live daily in the enabling POWER and GRACE of Christ Jesus — which turns weakness into strength and makes Godly Living possible.

Tone: Prophetic, confrontational, doctrinal, and empowering. Heavy emphasis on POWER, GRACE, FUNCTION, BECOME, THRIVE, STRONG, BOLDNESS.

“HAVE FAITH IN GOD” FOR YOUR RIGHT STANDING

June 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

“HAVE FAITH IN GOD” FOR YOUR RIGHT STANDING: THIS IS TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RIGHTEOUS CAUSE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“He MADE Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God [that is, we would be MADE ACCEPTABLE to Him and PLACED in a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]” 2 Corinthians 5:21/Amplified.

“For the KINGDOM of God is not eating and drinking, but RIGHTEOUSNESS and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who SERVES Christ in these things is ACCEPTABLE to God and APPROVED by men” Romans 14:17-18/NKJV.

In the New Creation Testament context, RIGHTEOUSNESS means having a right stand and being acceptable before God, without shame, guilt, or condemnation, inferiority, doubtful disputing and such like in the grace, in Christ Jesus; and it’s the bestowed gift of God in the grace, made possible by salvation through REPENTANCE and JUSTIFICATION [declared righteous, discharged and acquitted). This righteousness gives us the enabling ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus stead. For anything contrary to God’s definition of righteousness, it’s a “filthy rags” righteousness (self-righteousness). For God’s righteousness and righteous cause, is the result of being a New Creation of God in Christ Jesus stead, nothing more and nothing else. And this act of God’s love to accept us into His Beloved, is empowered and being sustained by the Holy Spirit of righteousness.

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5/NKJV.

“Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT ANGER and DISPUTING or QUARRELING or DOUBT [in their mind]” 1 Timothy 2:8/Amplified.

“How I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“But we are all like an unclean thing, AND ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES ARE LIKE FILTHY RAGS; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away” Isaiah 64:6/NKJV.

It’s sad that religious and denominational divides exist due to misguided doctrinal teachings built on human structures, culture, tradition, etc. This creates sentiments, prejudice, delusion and dissimulation, which negating the foundation of Faith in Christ Jesus, which is freely given and available to all by Father God, for our RIGHTEOUSNESS and acts in the grace. God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is by FAITH in Christ redemption, that justifies an individual personally in the grace; anything contractual should be discarded and vehemently rejected before it takes hold of you religiously and keeps you enslaved.

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is that they may be SAVED. 2 For I bear them WITNESS that they have a ZEAL for God, but NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they BEING IGNORANT OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and seeking to ESTABLISH their own righteousness, have not SUBMITTED to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. 5 For Moses writes about the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, THE WORD OF FAITH which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart [spirit-being] that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . .” Romans 10:1-13/NKJJV/Emphasis Mine.

Not “HAVING FAITH IN GOD” leads to indifference, religious outcry, humanism, sectarianism and denominational bias in Christian faith. This made Apostle Paul outburst to Galatians and Romans Churches – thinking of the stupidity/foolishness born out of ignorance. Many today are in blindfolded states, slavery, bondages due to unscriptural addictions from the TRUTH.

“O foolish Galatians! Who has BEWITCHED you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by THE HEARING OF FAITH? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH?” Galatians 3:1-5.

In the Bible days of the Apostles, many were unwilling to accept God’s definition of righteousness in Christ Jesus. They became legalistic by their own self-made righteousness or bound by their tradition and cultural norms. Apostle Paul was critical of this, calling it a “DIFFERENT GOSPEL” or “ANOTHER GOSPEL” of righteousness and righteous cause.

The consequences are severe: It makes the WORD of God, of no effect (as Jesus told the Pharisees), and give room to schism, adulteration, and distortion of the truth; and unfortunately, the perpetuators not only mislead themselves and their followers, but also miss out on the transformation of their human hearts that comes from God’s goodness and grace. As a result, they remain self-centred and fleshly ruled, rather than being led by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus. And this non-acceptance of “HAVE FAITH IN GOD “and living by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS has led many astray. Causing them to live by their own strength rather than being Spirit-ruled [Holy Spirit led] of God, in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.

“I marvel that you are TURNING AWAY so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a DIFFERENT GOSPEL, 7 which is not ANOTHER; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed” Galatians 1:6-9.

“Making THE WORD of God of NO EFFECT through your TRADITION which you have handed down. And many such things you do” Mark 7:13 [Matthew 15:6]/NKJJV.

“Some indeed preach Christ even from ENVY and STRIFE, and some also from GOODWILL: 16 The former preach Christ from SELFISH AMBITION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of LOVE, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in PRETENSE or in TRUTH, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

Be it known that the individual or groups that are failing to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in Christ Jesus stead for their righteousness have robbed themselves and others around them of the genuine blessedness of God in Christ Jesus. And many are entangled today with the adulteration and distortions of the truth by their sectarianism and denominational bias We ARE made righteous ONLY in Christ Jesus and not by the DO’S and DON’TS that we’ve used to cage people into a local assembly for our own selfishness, greed and enslavement. The freedom we’ve received of God in Christ Jesus stead, to serve and worship Him acceptably and worthily in His righteousness and righteous cause can be lost without faith in God’s definition.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely LIBERATING us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/Amplified.

God made you righteous in Christ Jesus, and you need to intentionally live in the righteousness-consciousness and not in sin-consciousness anymore. And it’s for you to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” – trusting His definition of RIGHTEOUSNESS in us, which ought to be lived in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.

Beloved, our Father God, made us RIGHTEOUS, and to live in RIGHTEOUSNESS; and had made it possible in that He gave and embedded in us with a default setting of living in the righteousness-consciousness of Him, in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS; and now we must live by being INTENTIONAL and PRAGMATIC about it, in order to ensure it always, in our daily living; otherwise one will give in to SIN and the SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS that contravenes the reality of our rights and privileges in redemption.

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:20-21.

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit [Holy Spirit] of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit [Holy Spirit] of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit [Holy Spirit] is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit [Holy Spirit] of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you” Romans 8:9-11/NKJV/Emphasis Mine.

You are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God MADE possible in Christ Jesus; therefore, live in it without alterations, adulteration, perversion and falsehood. For therein is the BEDROCK to thrive, to glory, to win, to triumph, to be victorious, to be an overcomer, and to be a more than conquerors in life and grace; also, to be dignified and fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully on the heavenly perspective for your earthly manifestations in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For God by Christ Jesus has given us a righteous stand, upon which we can do life and live godly triumphantly to the fulness of our being.

“But of Him are ye IN Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

I want you to know by this writ, that anything else outside God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus for your conscience and consciousness is counterfeit, adulteration, delusional, perversion and falsehood in all areas of life ramifications and judgement in the light of God’s holy writ upon which we stand. And with SIN CONSCIOUSNESS, you will STAND before God to be scripturally charged as – guilty, shameful and with inferiority complex and prejudice and such like. While with RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS, you can take a STAND in grace to be without guilt, shame, inferiority complex, prejudice and such like, because you are taking a stand upon the deeds of Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Beloved, it’s your new day, new dawn and a gracious time to raise your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of faith, in the CONSCIOUSNESS of being God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead, without prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy) on all grounds. Take advantage of the knowledge and understanding received by this writ, to now “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”, in order to be effectual, to do life and live godly by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS and righteous cause in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if ANYONE is IN Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a NEW CREATION [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life] . . . 21 He MADE Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God [that is, we would be MADE ACCEPTABLE to Him and placed in a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/Amplified.

“Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples heard it . . . 20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart [Human Spirit], but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them, and you will have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24/NKJV.

“When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE [BECOME] TO YOU.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31/NKJV.

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38]/NKJV.

“But what does it say? “The WORD is near you, in your mouth and in your heart [spirit-being]” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart [spirit-being] that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart [spirit-being] one BELIEVES unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever BELIEVES on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is RICH TO ALL who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:8-13/NKJV.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by THE WORD of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/NKJV.

“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH?— 6 just as Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the Gentiles by FAITH, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “IN YOU ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham” Galatians 3:1-9/NKJV.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNES, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE THEY WHICH RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE AND OF THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, EVEN SO MIGHT GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a ZEAL for God, but NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and seeking to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one BELIEVES unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . .” Romans 10:1-13.

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD of Jesus Christ his Son CLEANSETH us from ALL sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we DECEIVE ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9. If we CONFESS our sins, he is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE us our sins, and to CLEANSE us from all UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His WORD is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10.

Further Scriptural Reading In Context: Romans 4:1-25

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises living by God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus through “HAVING FAITH IN GOD”.

Key points:

God made us righteous in Christ; we must live in righteousness-consciousness (not sin-consciousness).

Righteousness = right standing before God, no shame/guilt in grace.

“HAVE FAITH IN GOD” = trust His definition of righteousness.

Warning against self-righteousness (“filthy rags”) vs. God’s righteousness by faith.

Freedom in Christ can be lost without faith in God’s way.

Be INTENTIONAL/PRAGMATIC about living righteously daily.

Scriptures highlighted:

2 Cor 5:21 – Made righteous in Christ.

Rom 14:17 – Righteousness/peace/joy in Holy Spirit.

Rom 10:1-13 – Righteousness by faith in Christ.

Gal 3:1-9 – Faith vs. law for righteousness.

The message urges living aware of God’s righteousness in Christ vs. falling into sin-consciousness.

AFD JUNE 2026

June 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH JUNE 2026: THE MONTH ENTITLED TO – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” . . .” Mark 11:22 [12-14, 20-24].

“. . . 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE [BECOME] TO YOU” . . .” Matthew 9:28-29 [27-31]/NKJV.

Shalom Beloved of God! Welcome to Month June 2026!! And Kingdom greetings, in the gracious and graceful name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.!!!

I graciously welcome you to Month June, the Month to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”, which is “About Becoming What You BELIEVE Of God In Christ Jesus Stead, In The Grace”. I’m praying that as you receive this writ, all things have come under your foot and control, and you are taking charge of your circumstances, to enable you do life and live godly in the grace effortlessly; and in enjoying to serve our God in Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit, by His WORD, acceptably, and worship Him worthily; and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, in the love, that gives us such freedom beyond words and terms, in human comprehension.

The essence of the Month June Theme – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”, is to help the believing one of God in Christ Jesus, not to have faith in an abstract, rather, to be able to have and exercise faith, in the living, good and faithful, true and sure God; just as the theme essences is “ABOUT BECOMING WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD” in Christ Jesus stead in the grace.

So, what then is an ABSTRACT to begin with?

To consider a concept without thinking of a specific example – consider abstractly or theoretically.

Having a context or concept that is existing only in the mind – separated from embodiment.

Having a context or concept that is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature.

Dealing with a subject in the abstract without practical purpose or intention.

Having a concept or idea not associated with any specific instance.

Having a sketchy summary of the main points of an argument or theory.

And in course of the enabling grace giving to me in many encounters of my personal relationship and fellowship with God and His precious people, I have come to know and understand that most people tend to claim to know and have a context and concept to HAVE FAITH IN GOD; but in reality, they can’t actually articulate to enact and authenticate that Faith, to enable them to practically make their knowledge and understanding, to make that Faith acclaimed, tangible in order to BECOME their reality in the faith, in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

Therefore, to HAVE FAITH IN GOD in context, is to have faith in His WORD in Christ Jesus for a start, by whom we are bestowed access and wholeness to His presence in fellowship to enjoy the relationship of His being, through and through, as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who is and was both man and God in humanity for our sake. [Hebrews 2:14-15; Acts 4:22; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 12:2; Hebrews 1:1-4].

And it’s on this foundation that we can communicate effectively – to be results-oriented and productive to every of our act of doing life and living godly in the grace. More so, we can be overcomers, triumphant, victorious and more than conquerors over the world system, that’s stirring on our faces by the act to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in Christ Jesus stead as written:

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the world. And this is the VICTORY that has OVERCOME THE WORLD—our FAITH. [5] Who is he who OVERCOMES THE WORLD, but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

And to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, you must BELIEVE first, because BELIEVE is passive, and it’s to conceive and be pregnant with the WORD, to enable FAITH to be activated upon it. For Faith is active, hence Faith is acting correspondingly upon the believe word of God in context, in the grace accordingly.

The MONTH JUNE, is the sixth [6] month and the end month of the first half of the calendar year, in the Gregorian and Julian calendar Month; and it’s the 2nd of the 4th in number, of the months of thirty [30] days in the twelve [12] months annual calendar.

And as in Month JUNE, the name JUNE, is also a lovely given name to the female gender of the sexes which is of great significance. For the Month JUNE as in the name JUNE, expresses in essence, the FULLNESS of life, and it’s of a profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality. Thus, it indicates how by Having Faith in God in Christ Jesus, God wants us to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, and to live in His BLESSEDNESS while fulfilling His PURPOSE in us MEANINGFULLY, in all of our life endeavours, as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And the best place of having the FULNESS of Life and profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality is by engaging and following in obedience, God’s plan PATH for your life as in the holy writ of the scriptures. [Ephesians 2:10; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Philippians 2:1-18]. And you can only be able to follow the set plan of God in the grace when you “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s my earnest desires that in the course of this month writings and by other format of preaching and teaching, to expatiate in expository why you have to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” and make it tangible to your reality, instead of living in abstract in the mind while thinking that’s Faith in God in Christ Jesus stead.

Do have an awesome Month June, and BECOME as you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in context, through FAITH in acknowledging what God has done in you, doing in you and doing through you, by the WORD and the BLESSED Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards in God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace.

What is Abstract Faith?

Abstract faith is having a concept or idea without practical application or embodiment. It’s having faith in something that exists only in the mind, without tangible reality.

The Importance of Faith in God

JUNE 2026 THEME – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”

June 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

JUNE 2026 THEME – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”: THE NEED TO “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“God is FAITHFUL [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into FELLOWSHIP with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9/Amplified.

To “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” is to trust in God’s faithfulness to Himself, reflecting His nature faithfulness through the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Our God is FAITHFUL – that is His NATURE. He’s a God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – His NATURE – being FAITHFUL in FAITHFULNESS in the grace. And as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him. And having Faith in God as a Faithful God gives the leverage in doing life and living godly in the grace. And it also encompasses God’s faithfulness to keep to His promises and covenant TO you in Christ Jesus stead, in the grace.

“FAITHFUL and ABSOLUTELY TRUSTWORTHY is He who is CALLING you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will FULFILL His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified.

“Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY and FAITHFUL [to His word]” Hebrews 10:23/Amplified.

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

There’s the need to note this importantly, that God DOES not have direct promises or covenant as some would like to proclaim WITH us; but He DOES have direct promises or covenant TO us and FOR us IN Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, that God DOES have promises and covenant WITH Jesus Christ, on our behalf in the grace. This highlights the IMPORTANCE of having FAITH IN Christ Jesus toward the Father God, from whom ALL BLESSEDNESS comes, as Christ Jesus is the embodiment of our redemption rights and privileges in the grace. So, when we talk about God’s covenants and promises, they ARE NOT DIRECTLY with us, but with Jesus, on our behalf, to us, in the grace. This understanding is key, as seen in the book of Philemon and other New Testament Scriptures, emphasising faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

“But as God is FAITHFUL, our word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was YES. 20 For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/NKJV.

Here are some attributes of God in His faithful nature and faithfulness; this is to enable us see the reason and gracious essence to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” as in this writ context but not limited to:

God is FAITHFUL to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13.
God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23.
God is FAITHFUL to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
God is FAITHFUL to forgive. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
God is FAITHFUL in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9.
God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19.

God is FAITHFUL, and His FAITHFULNESS is ever sure and true as in the Holy Writ. You need to take time to search the scriptures and find God everywhere therein. So, I encourage you to kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know more of Him, in being faithful and how to walk in faith as shown in scriptures like:

“You SEARCH the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which TESTIFY of Me” John 5:39/NKJV.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and SEARCHED the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men” Acts 17:10-13.

One thing is certain in life and that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree doesn’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion doesn’t give birth to a Leopard, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics. And our God of godliness, wants His redeemed children of godliness to do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

One need to know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Scriptures – [[Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL and prospered when he dares. The same grace is available to us today despite our challenges to be FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1).

Considering the above-mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And you can now have a reason to see the need to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in Christ Jesus stead, in the grace.

Be Blessed accordingly. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

TWO DISTINCTION – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM

April 5, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TWO DISTINCTION – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM: THE CONTEXT ON HOW YOU CAN BECOME – IN HIM AND ON HIM – IF YOU BELIEVE!

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

One great aspect of God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS is that there’s graciousness for everyone seeking Him in Christ Jesus stead. Whether you are pursuing BELIEVING IN HIM or and BELIEVING ON HIM, you can BECOME in Him. It’s just for you to know that you have to BELIEVE to RECEIVE in order to BECOME in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There are two distinct aspects of BELIEVING to RECEIVE from God and BECOME what you believe. BELIEVING ON Him and BELIEVING IN Him are different, yet both are important in God’s REDEMPTION REALITIES. BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus (ON HIS NAME) and BELIEVING IN Christ Jesus (IN HIS NAME) toward the father show God’s graciousness in Christ Jesus. Both are vital for understanding His BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME]

For one to BELIEVE ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] toward God, is for one to BELIEVE on His WILL to SAVE one as SINNER from the clutches and bondages of sin and sinful living, in order to access and obtain the good and goodness of God, for one’s own SALVATION in HIM.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He power to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON His name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13.

“He that BELIEVETH ON Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED IN the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:18.

“. . . 25 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be SAVED, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:30-34.

“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever BELIEVETH ON me should not abide in darkness” John 12:46.

“And this is his commandment, That we should BELIEVE ON the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment” 1 John 3:23.
THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS [IN HIS NAME]:
For one to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME], means to BELIEVE in His ability – the ENABLING POWER in the SERVICE of God, toward the Kingdom’s advance and to keep the enemy at bay. This is about a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus receiving the POWER [CAPACITY, ABILITY, ENABLING] of God for God’s Kingdom services – a sphere wherein the BELIEVING ONE in Christ Jesus exercises [enacts and authenticates] the enabling grace, ensuring and assuring God’s help. This is to receive what it takes to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, in life and godliness in the blessedness of Christ Jesus. So, BELIEVING IN or to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus is about receiving the enabling power as a BELIEVER, to BECOME in God with the needed assurance to ensure His purposeful will for you.

“Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many BELIEVED IN His name, when they saw the miracles which He did” John 2:23.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which BELIEVE IN me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” Matthew 18:6 [Mark 9:42].

“Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that BELIEVETH IN me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and BELIEVETH IN me shall never die. BELIEVEST thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I BELIEVE that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” Mark 11:24-26.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye BELIEVE IN God, BELIEVE also IN me. . .. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake” John 14:1, 9-11.

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have BELIEVED IN God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men” Titus 3:8.

Whichever distinction you fall into, either as a SINNER needing salvation and a backslider needing restoration or a BELIEVER needing the help of God to live and accomplish His purpose in your life, BELIEVING is the access to RECEIVE in order to BECOME. Hence, you don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear of acceptance in starting or completing your life-given and intended plans, purposes and pursuits, for just to BELIEVE, you can seal the once -for-all, eternity, your BECOMING in GOD, in Christ JESUS. Amen.

I want you to know full well, that your FAITH can go killing giants even when all things come to a halt, as you keep acting on the WORD to RECEIVE, by the BELIEVE/BELIEVING to BECOME. Meaning, nothing can stop you from BECOMING when you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH alive in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Jesus said, “. . . According to your FAITH be it unto you” Matthew 9:29, that is to – BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Hello Friend! you can BECOME what you BELIEVE in context – ON Him or IN Him today.

May you BECOME in your BELIEVE as you RECEIVE God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine.

“Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE for the one who BELIEVES and trusts [in Me]!” Mark 9:23/AMP.

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it DEPENDS on them] it is impossible, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27]/AMP.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He GAVE the right [the authority, the privilege] to BECOME children of God, that is, to those who BELIEVE in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]” John 1:12-13/AMP.

“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!]” John 1:12-13/AMP Classic Edition.

“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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE

April 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE: YOU NEED TO BELIEVE TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He POWER [RIGHTS, ENABLING, ABILITY] TO BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12/Emphasis Mine.

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING]: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

FAITH is Acting correspondingly on WHAT you BELIEVE on The WORD of GOD. As such, BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is passive while FAITH is active. You need to BELIEVE first for FAITH to be ACTIVATED. And FAITH is the currency of exchange and transactions in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus – our Saviour and Lord. Amen. That’s why your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world is very important to make your FAITH effective and efficient through acknowledging everything God has done in you in redemption in Christ Jesus.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT – PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN [BY REDEMPTION] Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 WHO is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

You need to know full well that – it’s WHAT you BELIEVE that determines your functionality in the Kingdom and in your ability to OVERCOME life’s challenges. It thus means, you ARE a PRODUCT of your BELIEVING world. And if I may ask you today and right now – What do you BELIEVE IN (ADHERED TO, ACKNOWLEDGED) more? Do you BELIEVE in mere – men, religion, dogmas, creeds, bylaws, traditions, philosophy, rudiments, and tradition of this world…. or God’s scriptural and eternal, authoritative, prevailing, undiluted and unadulterated WORD? You need to know that – YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU’VE BELIEVED UNTIL NOW. You BECAME saved because you BELIEVED. And you RECEIVE ANSWERS to PRAYERS because of your BELIEVE. BELIEVE and be SAVED.

“Therefore I say unto you, WHAT THINGS SOEVER ye DESIRE, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE [BECOME] them” Mark 11:24/Emphasis Mine.

“. . . 27 And THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 and brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and THY HOUSE. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:25-34.

Stop blaming others for where you are. It’s your responsibility and accountability to move forward in FAITH. Your state of being is a result of what you’ve BELIEVED and still BELIEVE. I hereby appeal to you, to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory and leverage in Christ Jesus. DARE to BELIEVE now and again to BECOME your reality in God’s WORD that saves, or you will be living in the sphere of fake, falsehoods, adulteration and counterfeiting – which leads to further bondages overtime.

WHEN YOU WRONGLY BELIEVE, YOU WILL WRONGLY ACT IN FAITH – BY ACTING IN FATE

Jesus asked two blind men (Matthew 9:27-30), “what do you BELIEVE?” Their answer made Him say, “Let it be according to your faith.” What they BELIEVED was rooted in WHOM they BELIEVED in. And that triggered and activated their FAITH, and they acted on it. They RECEIVED healing as they ACTED on their BELIEVE. They BECAME WHAT they BELIEVED, because of WHOM they BELIEVED in – God.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then TOUCHED he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine.

Is your FAITH born out of what you BELIEVE to BECOME? it’s the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE, and RECEIVE heavenly OUTPOURING of grace and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s expedient you check your BELIEVING scripturally before taking any step you consider FAITH in the Kingdom – if you want the heavens to align with your EARTHLY affairs.

“Now FAITH is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval. 3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

I plead with you to dare to BELIEVE and be BELIEVING – all things are POSSIBLE to those who BELIEVE – all things are always POSSIBLE with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it DEPENDS on them] it is impossible, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27]/AMP.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 4:1-25

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of believing in God’s Word to become what God intends. It’s about BELIEVING in God’s power and promises to activate FAITH, which is the currency of the Kingdom of God.

Key points:

You are a product of your believing world (1 John 5:3-5, Romans 10:8-10).

BELIEVE is passive, while FAITH is active; BELIEVE first, then FAITH is activated (John 1:12, Romans 10:8-10).

What you BELIEVE determines your functionality in the Kingdom and ability to overcome challenges (Matthew 9:27-30, Hebrews 11:1-3, 6).

Check your BELIEVING scripturally to make your FAITH effective (Philemon 1:6, Mark 11:22-24).

BELIEVE in God’s Word to RECEIVE answers to prayers and become what God intends (Mark 11:24, John 14:9-13).

The message encourages readers to dare to BELIEVE, be BELIEVING, and become what they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus (Matthew 9:27-30, John 1:12, Romans 10:8-10).

MARCH – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands.

How do you endeavour to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

TWO DISTINCTIONS – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM

April 5, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TWO DISTINCTIONS – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM: YOU CAN BECOME IN HIM AND ON HIM CONTEXT – IF YOU BELIEVE!

One great remarks of God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS that I have found, is that there’s a place of graciousnesss for everyone who seeks after God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it means, whether you are in pursuit of BELIEVING IN HIM or and BELIEVING ON HIM, you can BECOME in Him to each end. It’s just for you to know that you have to BELIEVE to RECEIVE in order to BECOME in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There is two mark Distinctions in respect to BELIEVE/BELIEVING in order to RECEIVE of God to BECOME what you believe and whom you believe. There’s the BELIEVING ON Him and the BELIEVING IN Him. You need to know that, to BELIEVE ON HIM and to BELIEVE IN Him, for the BLESSEDNESS of Him in this context, speaks of God’s graciousnesss that’s expressed and being expressed in Christ Jesus. In other words, BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] and BELIEVING IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME] toward the Father God, is not the same but are both important in our REDEMPTION REALITIES of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

[a] THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME]: For one to BELIEVE ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] toward God, is for one to BELIEVE on His WILL to SAVE one as SINNER from the clutches and bondages of sin and sinful living, in order to access and obtain the good and goodness of God, for one’s own SALVATION in HIM.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave he power to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON His name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13.

“He that BELIEVETH ON Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED IN the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:18.

“. . . 25 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be SAVED, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:30-34.

“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever BELIEVETH ON me should not abide in darkness” John 12:46.

“And this is his commandment, That we should BELIEVE ON the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment” 1 John 3:23.

[b] THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS [IN HIS NAME]: For one to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME], thus means to believe in His ability – the ENABLING POWER in the SERVICE of the Kingdom to advance and to keep the enemy at bay; this is about and toward a BELIEVER receiving the POWER of God for God’s Kingdom services – a sphere, wherein the Believing one, is depending and looking up [enacting and authenticating] for the help of God, in order to receive what it takes to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, in life and godliness.

“Now when He was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many BELIEVED IN His name, when they saw the miracles which He did” John 2:23.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye BELIEVE IN God, BELIEVE ALSO IN me. . . . 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake” John 14:1, 9-11.

Which ever distinction you fall into, either as a sinner needing salvation and a backslider needing restoration or a Believer needing the help of God to live and accomplish His purpose in your life, BELIEVING is the access to RECEIVE in order to BECOME. Hence, you don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear of acceptance in starting or completing your life given and intended plans, purposes and pursuits, for just to BELIEVE, you can seal the once for all eternity your BECOMING in GOD, in Christ JESUS. Amen.

Jesus said, “. . . According to your FAITH be it unto you” Matthew 9:29, that is to – BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Hello Friend! you can BECOME what you BELIEVE in context – ON Him or IN Him today.

May you BECOME in your BELIEVE as you RECEIVE of God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE for the one who BELIEVES and trusts [in Me]!” Mark 9:23/AMP.

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it DEPENDS on them] it is impossible, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27]/AMP.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.
