February 2, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

FEBRUARY2017: THE FAITH THAT WORKS: EXPRESSES THROUGH LOVE!

There’s no geographical location and situations that can stop your position and altitude in life when your Faith Works by Love.

I do know Faith as the mystery, the vital & legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens and to give the heavenly the permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet, you can only genuinely blossom and colour your worlds anywhere and anyday with God when your ‘Faith Works By Love’.

Be it in relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital and governance, the Faith That Works By Love is inevitable and inescapable. For love is the ultimate, a most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment. Hence expressing ‘The Faith That Works By Love’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: Winter, Autumn, Spring or Summer.

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘The Faith That Works By Love’.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which WORKETH by LOVE” (Galatians 5:6).

“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.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:13-15.

“A NEW commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35.

“Let LOVE be without HYPOCRISY. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honour giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21. NKJV.

“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:43-48.

Being JUSTIFIED By FAITH – We Have ACCESS By FAITH

February 2, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Being JUSTIFIED By FAITH – We Have ACCESS By FAITH – We STAND In GRACE By FAITH: And We ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In Christ Jesus!

“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.

Being JUSTIFIED by FAITH in Christ Jesus, we are given ACCESS by same FAITH to Father God, upon the GRACE wherein our REDEMPTION was CERTIFIED for us, and made us QUALIFIED, to enable us STAND TRIUMPHANTLY as transferred, transformed and translated from the Kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son – Lords and Saviour Jesus Christ; and to TAKE and MAKE a STAND, into the DEED of God, that MADE us the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER [GRIPS] of DARKNESS and CONVEYED [TRANSLATED, TRANSFERRED, TRANSFORMED] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV/Emphasis Mine.

And the most awesome and amazing POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is the knowing that you ARE:

*** FORGIVEN from SIN and all SIN effects by God IN Christ Jesus.

*** ACQUITTED from All wrongs IN Christ Jesus.

**** QUALIFIED and JUSTIFIED in God’s grace in Christ Jesus stead.

*** RECEIVED back to GLORY and VIRTUE IN Christ Jesus.

For to being JUSTIFIED is to be DISCHARGED, ACQUITTED and DECLARED RIGHTEOUS – because of what Jesus Christ has done on our behalf, in God’s REDEMPTION did for us, in all about LIFE and GODLINESS. Amen.

Therefore, it’s your time to RAISE your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of FAITH in GRACE, to live in LIFE and GODLINESS, without shame, fear, intimidation and inferiority complex and any form or sorts of phobias the ENEMY and COHORTS may throw at you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s your time to be emboldened by the WORD in the name of Jesus Christ, by the leading of the Holy Spirit and the inspiring, revealing and empowering of Father God, in His set plan, purpose and pursuit, for the Kingdom cause.

You need not be ASHAMED and CONDEMNED any more of who you ARE in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For being JUSTIFIED by FAITH – we have ACCESS by FAITH – we STAND in GRACE by FAITH – and we ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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

“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“But before FAITH came, we were kept UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the FAITH which should afterwards be REVEALED. 24 Wherefore the LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:23-24.

“. . .3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: . . . 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES OF HIS GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all wisdom and prudence . . .” Ephesians 1:1-23

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

January 30, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES: BE A – WITNESS – LEADER – AND COMMANDER – AN OVERCOMER – IN YOUR WORLDS!

“Behold, I have GIVEN him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

We live today in a very challenging and difficult times – individuals, families and collective society are facing all sorts – both privately and publicly in thoughts or and indeed, to various segments of wants and needs. And the height of trials, temptations and seduction are increasing and mounting up the more especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus – and it’s simply because the enemy and cohorts, knows their days and times are numbered and time is running out on them. But do you as a Believer in Christ Jesus, KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS THE TIMES that you are currently living and running on in God’s schedule? Do you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus stead, do really UNDERSTAND your timeline just as the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR did to be exclusively different and unique to be leaders? Do you know and understand what you OUGHT to do to LEAD and to be the COMMANDER – meaning to be in charge – than blaming others for your limitations as an entitlement?

“And of the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“Behold, I have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

Some of the trials, temptations and challenges tends to make one go along with the flow, even when you know full well, it leads to sin and sinful behaviour, while others events are obvious that it may or will cost you your career, leadership, marriage, relationship, opportunity, integrity, position, shame, embarrassment and such like. There’s the need to know that the appetite for the craziness because everyone is doing it or it appeals to you specially or it’s an avenue of meeting and solving the problems and difficulties you are going through may ends badly as a Believer in Christ Jesus; especially when you know it’s obvious it contradicts the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that can sets one free, and being able to know the needs to uphold in the face of any heights of such trials and temptations, the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH.

“There hath NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is COMMON to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER you to be tempted ABOVE that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; JUDGE [EXAMINE] ye what I SAY” 1 Corinthians 10:13-15.

“Prove all things; HOLD FAST that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23.

May I announce to you that there is an enabling grace in God to say NO. I mean to say again NO and NO and to sound it loud – NOOOOOOOOOO (is there an English word as such a loud NO, I don’t think so, just an expression). It thus means that, there is an enabling of God in grace to overcome the little and great height challenges in your worlds of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. Sometimes you need to run away and in some cases to flee from every appearance of that which defile the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in your life.

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT AND GODLY LIVES IN THIS PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 NIV.

The ENEMY and COHORTS knows your WORTH. Do you know your WORTH? And they have prized, and price tagged on you. Do you know God’s prized and price tagged on you in REDEMPTION just as He said of Job (Job 1:6-12), I KNOW him and of Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19), I KNOW him. Can God say he KNOWS you, knowing you will uphold your being in Him by the enabling grace He has given to you to say NO, or RUN or FLEE when it’s obviously necessary that your POSSIBILITIES by God is about to be jeopardize by self, the world and probably the devil and cohorts. You know the drill, yeah, you know the drill. Take a STAND in grace today. Romans 5:1-2; Ephesians 6:10-14; 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I make bold to say that you are a World made Overcomer in Christ Jesus. The default is in you in Christ Jesus stead to face trials, temptations and such like and still OVERCOME. James 1:2-8; 1 Corinthians 10:13-15. You can make it a reality and possibility by Believing and acting accordingly in FAITH. Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 11:6. This is the VICTORY that helps you overcomes your worlds of doing life and living godly – it’s your FAITH on the Scriptural truth to say NO or RUN or FLEE when necessary for your good and the good of others especially too, who looks up to you to ensure TESTIMONY of GRACE and TRUTH in our God. Revelation 12:11. Revelation 19:10.

I pray today that you be emboldened and endeavour to ensure that the enabling grace of God within you works for you to be and remain the OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and TRIUMPHANT Believer of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. (1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 5:4-5).

Have an awesome day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING as God hath dealt to EVERY man THE MEASURE of FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“And of The Children Of Issachar, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE HOW TO DAILY OVERCOME, TRIUMPH AND BE THE VICTOR

January 24, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE HOW TO DAILY OVERCOME, TRIUMPH AND BE THE VICTOR: YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE YOUR POSSIBILITY FAITH TO MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“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.

The New Creation life is expressed by our steady act of the CONFESSION [DECLARATION] of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus. The act of CONFESSION [DECLARATION] is the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS irrespective of your circumstances. Suffix to know that the NEW CREATION Believers was and are called or regarded in early times as the people of GREAT PROFESSION or GREAT CONFESSION or GREAT TESTIMONY TESTIFIERS – whose FAITH are in Christ Jesus – their Saviour and Lord.

This act of FAITH CONFESSION [DECLARATION] is only productive, result oriented, that is effectual, when we are able to COMMUNICATE our FAITH by the ACKNOWLEDGING of the GOOD DID of God by Christ Jesus IN us. It’s not about the CONFESSION of SIN as unto BEING BORN AGAIN in Christ Jesus, but about the AFFIRMATION of our FAITH in the now as NEW CREATION in the GOOD of God IN Christ Jesus to all about us IN Him, to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS. This is what keeps us as RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUS or CONSCIOUSNESS Believers’ rather than SIN CONSCIOUS or CONSCIOUSNESS Believers in Christ Jesus toward God.

There’s the need to be readily steady in holding steadfastly your FAITH CONFESSION (DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION) toward that particular needs in your life by you continuous holding forth in God on the good in you as to what Christ Jesus had DONE IN you, DOING FOR you, WILL DO THROUGH you as regards to that particular or intended matter. That’s Faith in the done deed, doing deed and eventual deed of God in Christ Jesus. That’s how the victory, overcoming, triumph and more than conquerors life are enacted and authenticated to life in reality.

FAITH IS ACTIVE. BELIEVE IS PASSIVE. FAITH is acting accordingly on what you BELIEVE of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, it’s NOT ENOUGH to BELIEVE God for something, you MUST act ACCORDINGLY to that believe on what Christ Jesus stead is to that matter, in order to make it happen tangibly in real life. And to act is to communicate along gracious to that intent as Jesus’ deed too in humanity.

“So all bore WITNESS to Him, and marveled at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 NKJV.

Hence between when you pray to ASK God for something and when the ANSWER comes, what you communicate in between, that is, CONFESS about that matter you prayed to God to act upon, must be of the FAITH in acknowledgement of the good did of Christ in you, otherwise your expectations will be aborted before arrival.

Genuine HEART BELIEVE and FAITH CONFESS makes you SEE ANSWERS on your cause and course and not to SEE or be seeing same QUESTIONS – which is the FAILED or FAILING CIRCUMSTANCES and SITUATIONS that was and is about you on the subject matter in question.

You need to vigorously develop the spirit in you to COMMUNICATE your FAITH which is born and bathed in and by the WORD by the blessed Holy Spirit, to keep you steadily steadfast in effectual living in LIFE and GODLINESS.

Therefore, I say Go forth and win your day by an aggressive steady COMMUNICATION, which is the CONFESSION, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION, ANNOUNCEMENT – of your FAITH towards that matter of LIFE and GODLINESS, as you BELIEVE of God, for therein ALL THINGS ARE MADE POSSIBLE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH MEDITATING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE BE FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall eat the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“Thou art SNARED with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH, thou art TAKEN with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2.

“By him therefore let us OFFER THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE to God CONTINUALLY, that is, THE FRUIT OF OUR LIPS giving thanks to his name” Hebrews 13:15.

“To THE LAW and to THE TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:20.

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD OF GOD” Romans 10:17.

TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT

January 23, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT: DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and THIS IS the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

I learnt early in my Christian Walk in Christ Jesus stead, by the various factors and happenings and challenges that came my way that VICTORY and TRIUMPH is possible in Christ, when I hold on to my FAITH in the context of the Scriptures, because FAITH goes killing GIANTS when all things comes to a HALT. Hence, I am emboldened to say to you emphatically today – DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH, NO MATTER WHAT BESIEGE and BETIDE YOU AS ITS CALLED TODAY. For God will give you the enabling assurance in His grace, to ensure you can ABOUND and ABASED in everyway in Christ Jesus stead, in order to ensure you are fulfilled in everyway in His grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have LEARNED, in whatsoever STATE I am, therewith to be CONTENT. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am INSTRUCTED both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

You need to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS first, final and utmost aim day and night against you is always on your FAITH and nothing else – more or less; for the enemy and cohorts knows the powerful effect of your faith against it’s works and more so, in the knowing that by FAITH you are JUSTIFIED and by FAITH you have ACCESS to God to stand in the grace wherein you can thrive, live and reign in life no matter how many times you fall and fail in things as long as you are steadily steady and keep keeping on, focus on Christ Jesus on your redemption rights and privileges in Him.

“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.

And all the intent of the enemy and cohorts activities toward you, is nothing else, but ALL about, for you to just GIVE UP on your FAITH on your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus, and he will then takes over you and by then you are DONE away with, from all the OTHER meaningful, purposeful and colourful things such as your – Relationship, Career, Business, Finance, Health, Family and such like. In essence, the ENEMY and COHORTS are out to MESS up your FAITH and DISCONNECT you from God in Christ Jesus, in order to give them ACCESS to ruin every other matters about you. Hence you need to be sober, alert , vigilant and steadfast in the FAITH as it’s written in the Holy writ.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his ETERNAL GLORY by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURE, COMPLETE), STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

And by you taking a FAITH stand in your redemption in Christ Jesus upon the WORD of God, you can turn ANY MESS UP of today into a MESSAGE by ANCHORING and SYNCHRONIZING your FAITH steadfastly in God on every GOOD THING DONE IN YOU by Christ Jesus. 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.

Hence, you must know that your FAITH is PRECIOUS and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for you to guard it jealously and steadfastly. 2 Peter 1:1-2; Proverbs 4:23.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT, YOU NEED NOT GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY – IT’S THE HALLMARK OF LIVING THE EXALTED AND TRIUMPHANT AND THRIVING AND PURPOSEFUL AND MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLING LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

The enemy and cohorts Knows that your FAITH is the only PRECIOUS and CHIEF TREASURE to WRITE and REWRITE your story from the state of:

** Disappointment to appointment

** Failure to success

** Sickness to healing and health

** Poverty to prosperity

** Sin to righteousness

** Disgrace to grace

** Mess to Message

** Shame to fame

** Curse to blessing

** . . . And much more such like.

Your FAITH is your VICTORY and TESTIMONY over ALL matters of doing life and living godly for these simple and awesome reason though not limited to these only:

* It’s the MYSTERY of grace to TRIUMPH

* It’s the stirring gear to Living THE GREATER LIFE.

* It pleases God and its reward is AWESOMELY AWESOME.

* It’s your EARTHLY currency to cause the HEAVENLY to answer your EARTHLY demands.

* It’s the Father God recommended CONTACT in Christ Jesus, to reach Him expressly.

* It’s your ARMOURY to put to flight your ENEMY & COHORTS master plans.

* It’s your creative tool to ACHIEVE, THRIVE, REJUVENATE and to define the ATMOSPHERE you loves to see and enjoy.

* For FAITH is NOW, to help ease any earthly transactions with the heavens.

* . . . And many such like acts and doings.

Therefore, TREASURE your FAITH. DON’T GIVE IT UP or GIVE UP ON IT for whatsoever REASON.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING – MEDITATING – IN CONTEXT:

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and THIS IS the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Galatians 3:11, Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38].

“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“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.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by IT the elders OBTAINED a GOOD report. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which do APPEAR . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him [God]: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/Emphasis Mine.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

“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.

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

January 20, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto BEREA: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE TO MAKE THEE WISE unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT [MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE], throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17/Emphasis mine.

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LIVING IN CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

January 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:20-24.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF FROM SIN [SINNING] ACT

January 12, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF FROM SIN [SINNING] ACT – IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT UNGODLINESS WITH GOD!

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SIN NOT; for some have NOT the KNOWLEDGE of God: I speak this to your shame” 1 Corinthians 15:33-34.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation, But SIN is a REPROACH to ANY people.” Proverbs 14:34.

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

Some people think that SIN is just a MISTAKE or an ERROR in cause of life doings. It is far more than that; and its presence in one’s life can hinder and obstruct the desired PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT that enables one to SOAR and GLIDE IN POSSIBILITIES.

KNOW THAT SIN IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT AN ACT OF UNGODLINESS WITH GOD; AND IT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD THAT EXALTS.

WHAT THEN IS SIN – IT IS SUM IN THESE THREE CATEGORIES AS:

** The human inherit nature, which is an enmity towards God and it’s naturally bore to all mankind as a result of the fall in ADAM and EVE of Genesis.

** An act of transgression (overstepping) of God’s law, which is – the violation of, want of obedience to, the revealed WILL of God to mankind.

** A state of Iniquity, Trespass, Lawlessness and or absence of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS as fulfilled in Christ Jesus in one’s life to live wholly within.

THE EFFECT OF SIN ARE:

*** POVERTY

*** SICKNESS and DISEASE

*** SPIRITUAL DEATH:

** And SPIRITUAL DEATH is the absence of God or rather the rejection of Christ Jesus – who is God’s REDEMPTION answer to human failing.

** And SPIRITUAL DEATH leads to PHYSICAL DEATH and finally, results to ETERNAL DEATH when one ends up eventually not Born of God in Christ Jesus.

However, by REDEMPTION – FAITH on the finished done work of Christ – has JUSTIFIED us and given us ACCESS to a stand in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, which enables one to escape from death to life. Wherein one can have ACCESS and live JUSTIFIED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Now in Christ Jesus, SIN and its EFFECT shall have NO MORE DOMINION over you as you SOAR & GLIDE in POSSIBILITIES – that is, over SIN.

“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.

“. . . 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 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 5:15-21.

It’s while living under God’s RIGHTEOUS and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, that will enable you have dominion and leverage over SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The knowing and understanding that God LOVES and CARES about you makes a great difference. And when you live under God’s REVERENTIAL FEAR you will detest SIN and pursue RIGHTEOUSNESS. For the REVERENTIAL FEAR of God is the beginning of wisdom – the application of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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

“For we KNOW him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:31-32.

If you must glory, only GLORY in Christ Jesus RIGHTEOUSNESS in you – that’s the CONSCIOUSNESS to live the POSSIBILITIES enabling of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation, But SIN is a REPROACH to any people.” Proverbs 14:34.

“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking [what one likes], but of RIGHTEOUSNESS and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” Romans 14:17 Amplified.

“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.

“For the WAGES of SIN is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 6:23.

“For SIN shall not have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:14.

“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God . . . 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God . . . 16 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 3:3, 5, 16-18.

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

“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? . . . 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that BEAR WITNESS IN EARTH, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one” 1 John 5:4-5, 6-8.

MARK YOUR DAWN YEAR START-UP LIFE STYLE WITH A GIVING HEART

January 11, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MARK YOUR DAWN YEAR START-UP LIFESTYLE WITH A GIVING HEART: BE HUMANE TO GIVE WISELY OF YOUR – TIME, MONEY, MATERIAL AND EFFORT [TALENT/SKILL] – TOWARD A GIVEN CAUSE!

“For God SO LOVED the WORLD, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN – RICH OR POOR. KNOW FOR SURE AND CERTAINTY THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, NEITHER DOES THE RICH GIVE – IT’S ONLY THE GIVERS [POOR OR RICH] THAT GIVES” Chukie MORSI Snr.

Begin the dawn YEAR with a giving note – not every opportunity in life should ALWAYS be of monetary and self-centred gains for self-egotism and applaud. One most important act I want you to know in order to be established with the Scriptural Kingdom cause of God, especially to us as Believers of God in Christ Jesus, and among the LIVING, is to be GIVERS. GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN RICH OR POOR. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, THE RICH DON’T GIVE – ONLY GIVERS GIVES; just as the scriptural giver WIDOW whose giving was Scripturally ascribed in the Holy writ as the widow mite – which was observed and acknowledged before Christ Jesus while the self-centred and selfish RICH, who was also ascribed and acknowledged as the RICH FOOL, as observed before Christ Jesus as written in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 12:13-21. You can note now that only GIVERS as the Widow of the widows mite, that GIVES, because they know and understand the implication and dividend of GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in giving before God in Christ Jesus stead – without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

“GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall MEN GIVE into your bosom. For with the same MEASURE that ye mete withal it shall be MEASURED to you again” Luke 6:38.

“I have SHEWED you all things, how that so LABOURING ye OUGHT TO SUPPORT THE WEAK, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE” Acts 20:35.

The POSSIBILITIES OF GOD in us, is a default lifestyle that requires the spirited and heartedness of a GIVING spirit of our TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE to ANOTHER – for the good of others, in a healthy kingdom CAUSE; and this is an ACT of a good will and not a WISH. Hence PERFORMANCE of the WILLING heart is imperative and fundamental to all who calls God’s name in Christ Jesus stead.

“And herein I give MY ADVICE: for this is EXPEDIENT for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 11 Now therefore PERFORM the DOING of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that WHICH YE HAVE. 12 For if there be first a WILLING mind, it is ACCEPTED according to that a man HATH, and not according to that he HATH NOT” 2 Corinthians 8:10-12.

Let’s do an analysis as an example to explain this line of context: Show me a nation, community, family and individual who is committed to giving to OTHERS and other cause beyond themselves and boundaries when it comes to their TIME, MONEY (FINANCE) and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion) by an act of LOVE, HOPE and FAITH, I will show you why such has PROSPERED and KEEP PROSPERING in comparison to the one that has been stingy, complaining, arguing, always taking and collecting as if it’s an entitlement while blaming, murmuring and always receiving (collecting, taking) and UNWILLING to GIVE to others or to any CHARITABLE cause in life because they THINK life is about ENTITLEMENT and not about responsibility and accountability in principle.

For it’s MORE BLESSED to be a GIVER than a COLLECTOR and TAKER, simply for this reason – the RECEIVER will always be LESSER to the GIVER, that’s a spiritual law that works also in the natural. I learnt that first from my parents, long before I knew it’s equally from the Scriptures and it’s of God in Christ Jesus stead.

There’s nothing wrong in RECEIVING, but only when you are a CHANNEL vessel to others too and not a DEAD end as an entitlement. A RECEIVER who doesn’t GIVE is like the DEAD SEA that RECEIVES water from many sources and NEVER GIVE out or distribute to other waterways channels. It’s called DEAD SEA because it’s salty and no living creatures are sustained in it. Don’t be a DEAD-END being, as the DEAD SEA, but be a LIVING being that is ALIVE and that BLOSSOM, REFRESHES and REJUVENATES because you are a VESSEL and CHANNEL of grace to others and not a merely display ORNAMENT.

I challenge you to arise to SOAR and GLIDE in DOMINION by GIVING, which is – Begin small, from where you are to give TIME, FINANCE (MONEY – Cash/Kind) and EFFORT (Physical and or Mental Exertion) to the cause of others, you will definitely notice the hand of God through others prospering you in God’s grace.

The Living of the POSSIBILITIES default life as touching PROSPERITY is by GIVING and not by FASTING and PRAYERS. Fasting and prayers have their place in the kingdom. You need to give in HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to unlock your prosperity door; and not necessarily to RECEIVE also from who or those you gave.

Make your dawn YEAR, your year of LIVING the POSSIBILITIES default life as a GIVER – meaning as an individual, family, community or a nation. Make the GIVING ACT your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE the POSSIBILITIES of God within you in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the LIFE that makes and keeps you to be – ABOVE ONLY.

Take a step today, you will see the heavenly outpour. For God GAVE His Son Jesus Christ to us all, and by His Son GIVING His life, He got us all back again. Learn of HIM by making the GIVING ACT, your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE – your POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus sat over against THE TREASURY, and beheld how the people CAST MONEY INTO THE TREASURY: and many that were RICH cast in much. 42 And there came a certain POOR widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this POOR widow hath CAST MORE in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 for all they did cast in of their ABUNDANCE; but she of her want did cast in ALL that she had, even all her living” Mark 12:41-44.

“And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and BEWARE of COVETOUSNESS: FOR A MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSETH. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain RICH MAN brought forth plentifully: 17 and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou FOOL, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, AND IS NOT RICH toward God” Luke 12:13-21.

POSSIBILITIES IS ABOUT BEING DILIGENT IN THE FAITH

January 11, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

POSSIBILITIES IS ABOUT BEING DILIGENT IN THE FAITH: FAITH IS YOUR SYNERGY – VITALITY AND LEGALITY – TO DO LIFE AND THE KINGDOM BUSINESS DILIGENTLY!

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

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavenly in the earthly affairs; while DILIGENCE is – the smartly act, to do life business steadily and consistently in a principled order. And God honours faith and rewards diligence in the principle of accountability and responsibility in His plan, purpose and pursuit to the advancement of His Kingdom cause and in putting the enemy and cohorts at bay in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

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

On earth, in this world, we do BUSINESS in life with men by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind as our currency of exchange in transactions; and truth and in real fact, the US Dollars is currently the De Facto currency in use as a measure to every other currency in the world irrespective. While in the Kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus, we do BUSINESS in life with God by FAITH as our De Facto currency – which is built on His WORD in context in transactions, in order to receive the heavenly endowment in our earthly affairs.

And this God’s kingdom currency exchange by FAITH as a medium, supersedes the earthly BUSINESS with men, in the world, in many and everyway, of doing life and living godly. The earthly De Facto in exercise is MAMMON, PHYSICAL, HUMANLY and LIMITED to earthly affairs only and precisely; while the heavenly De Facto in exercise is GODLY, SPIRITUAL and UNLIMITED – that is, it affects both the life we have now as of today on earth and the life of the heavenly.

“For BODILY (EARTHLY – PHYSICAL, HUMANLY) exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS (HEAVENLY – SPIRITUAL) is PROFITABLE UNTO ALL THINGS, HAVING PROMISE OF THE LIFE THAT NOW IS, AND OF THAT WHICH IS TO COME. 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation” 1 Timothy 4:8-9 (Emphasis Mine).

And doing life purposefully in the kingdom, is done by being DILIGENT and not by any act of slothfulness if we must be fulfilled in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. The Kingdom is the Lord’s and He is the GOVERNOR in all nations. For the earth is the Lord’s, the world and all who dwels in it as it’s written:

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

“For the KINGDOM is the LORD’S: and he is the GOVERNOR among the NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

Note full well at start that – DILIGENCE IN FAITH PLEASES GOD. It accords heavens reward and unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of royalty, nobles, honour, dignity and worth) and not in a place of mean or obscure or disgruntled or unproductive people. Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 6:10-12; Romans 5:1-2.

I therefore employ you in Christ Jesus stead, to start your daily schedules and routines – being today and even now – with a DILIGENT service of FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months and each passing years, you’ll experience for yourself overtime, the awesome reward of DILIGENT service and WORK by FAITH in Christ Jesus. Keep your set VISION – plan, purpose and pursuit alive by FAITH in DILIGENCE in Christ Jesus stead.

DILIGENCE AND FAITH – ARE THE TWAIN KINGDOM DEFAULT TOWARD THE HEAVENLY REWARDS IN EARTHLY AFFAIRS. BANK ON THEM TODAY AND ALWAYS FOR YOUR SYNERGY AND DIVIDEND.

I pray for you today, that God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed may abound with you, in everyway, in His BLESSEDNESS of living godly and doing life, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS FOR MEDITATIONS:

“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.

“I will STAND upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, that he may RUN THAT READETH it. 3 For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will SURELY COME, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“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.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is given GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
