HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE

May 7, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE: IT GIVES THE NEEDED ALTITUDE TO OUTSMART YOUR TEACHERS AND TEXTBOOKS [ANCIENTS]!

“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.

Having an UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE wherein you STAND in Christ Jesus by being JUSTIFIED and with an ACCESS to Father God by faith – it’s the needed leverage to be – ABOVE ONLY. Understanding gives you the needed ALTITUDE to outsmart your TEACHERS and TEXTBOOKS in your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] WISDOM [it is preeminent]! And with all your acquiring, get UNDERSTANDING [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]” Proverbs 4:7/Amplified.

I don’t know who your TEACHER has been, INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR and what kind of ANCIENTS (Books, Biography) you have read or reading or understudy or understudying at this moment, but I have miniature short story of life at sunrise to sunset as a teen.

Growing up, I hear this continuous phrase that our children should be better than us and they should outsmart one in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For this cause most parents I know work so hard to ensure that their children become exactly that in many ways, though most of those bulk of work to that greatness, are on the child/children shoulder in order for them to BECOME what they are PURPORTED to be in many ways too.

I remembered while getting set for my secondary, my dear father and Dad and Papa of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning which is unusual, to give me instructions to greatness in my life. He called me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he called me. I did answer him, then said afterwards, what’s my family name. I answered him again accordingly. He said that as I leave for the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name. Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better off than he is and those [patriarchal] before him. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED, I heard him in every decision I put up to action in the course of that teenage path of life.

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP.

“Thou wilt SHEW me the PATH of life: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

And as a young teenage that have accepted Christ Jesus into my life then, the only thing I know and could hear within me, supposedly by the Holy Spirit then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought extra textbooks or workbook way beyond what the school recommended in syllabus and prospectus, just to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not just necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad’s intents or demands, but to ensure that I don’t jeopardise my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted to be ABOVE ONLY. And looking back and taking a reflection, down memory lane, it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God for giving him to be my father, Dad and Papa and also as my personal instructors in many ways – and he’s forever in hearts and thoughts.

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” 1 Corinthians 4:15.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while he’s away for staff meetings to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such accordance by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel one day and stole my gifted Bible from my dear Uncle Austin [Rev A U MORMAH], as a measure to deter me. Thank God one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastoring a Church to God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how come if I am using the same teaching syllabus and prospectus materials as others and as requested by the school then. Neither the Teacher nor the students knew then that I have read Psalms 119:97-100 in my Bible, of what I can be if I give in to a principled living as the path to channel my life by God’s WORD.

And along with Psalmist Scripture that was an instructional awakening for me to be effectual – productive and results oriented, I do embraced also in principle, and by KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, the essence of DILIGENCE and PREPAREDNESS ahead of demand in context, of the scriptures of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31 for an onward and upward trajectory in life and grace. And ever since I knew then that by the SCRIPTURES in context, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT [written records set before time by others in books and other life format], I could take on any subjects of interest that I willingly set myself up to pursue in the grace. And to simply put it, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the quest of humanity, that’s why you like me by God, in His grace, in His word, by the Holy Spirit, can be whatever you want to be in Him. And for me, the rest today is history to God’s eternal glory and praise and honour. Amen.

I have share the above foretaste to let you know and understand that you can OUTSMART your TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT in that trade and field of ENDEAVOURS, if you give yourself to the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to the WORD as the WISDOM NUGGETS in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in this world under God in Christ Jesus stead.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the SCRIPTURES on that subjects of life – Trade, Family, Marriage, Relationship, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such like – for you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness and joy and not someone else except you give them the permission to rule and dominate over your will power in the grace. [Proverbs 4:7]. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you in order to make it TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, COMPREHENSIBLE and DELIVERABLE as desired in the LIGHT of the Scriptures. God’s WORD works today and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before as you choose to ensure it in principle in the grace wherein, we stand by God in Christ Jesus. Amen. [Romans 5:1-2].

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“The beginning of WISDOM is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your ACQUIRING, get UNDERSTANDING [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]” Proverbs 4:7/AMP.

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

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [HONOUR, DIGNITY]; he shall not STAND before MEAN MEN [UNPRODUCTIVE, SLOTHFUL]” Proverbs 22:29/Emphasis Mine.

“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.

“The HORSE is PREPARED against THE DAY OF BATTLE: but safety is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“The PLANS and PREPARATION of the mind and ORDERLY THINKING belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue. 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart). 3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your PLANS be established and succeed . . . 9 A man’s mind PLANS his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure” Proverbs 16:1-3, 9/AMP

SUMMARY:

The message shares a personal testimony of how the writer applied Biblical principles to excel in life, outsmarting teachers, textbooks, and even their own patriarchal lineage. Growing up, his father encouraged him to surpass him, instilling a sense of responsibility and accountability. The writer embraced this challenge, leveraging God’s Word (especially Psalms 119:97-100, Proverbs 4:7, Romans 5:1-2) to guide his path.

Key takeaways:

Understanding God’s Word gives wisdom and altitude to outsmart teachers and mentors.

Diligence and preparedness are crucial for success (Proverbs 22:29, 21:31).

One’s faith in Christ and principled living can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.

The writer’s experience shows applying scripture can lead to being “above only” in various areas of life.

The message encourages readers to get understanding in God’s Word for guidance in life’s areas like trade, family, marriage, business, and leadership.

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

May 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

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

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

SUMMARY:

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

Key Points:

The Dangers of Ignorance: Ignorance of the Scriptures and God’s power can lead to deception and error (Matthew 22:29, Romans 1:18-32).

The Importance of Obedience: God wants us to be doers of His Word, not just hearers (James 1:22-25).

The Consequences of Rationalism: Rationalism can lead to self-deception, ignorance of spiritual truths, and disbelief in divine intervention (Romans 1:18-32, Acts 13:27, 2 Peter 3:1-9).

Scriptural References:

Matthew 22:29 – Jesus’ warning about ignorance of Scriptures and God’s power

James 1:22-25 – The importance of being doers of God’s Word

Romans 1:18-32 – The consequences of ignoring God’s truth

Acts 13:27 – Ignorance of God’s plan led to Jesus’ rejection

2 Peter 3:1-9 – God’s patience and desire for all to come to repentance

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

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE

May 3, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the context of discussion, it thus means that:

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

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

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

Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position in terms of – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS [PHYSICAL/MENTAL EXERTION], MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and FINANCE under your watch.

More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

SUMMARY:

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

Key Points:

WISDOM is principal, but understanding is crucial for applying knowledge and achieving success (Proverbs 4:7).

Without understanding, knowledge and passion can lead to failure and difficulties (Proverbs 13:15).

Understanding helps you navigate life, relationships, career, and ministry effectively (Proverbs 21:16).

Lack of understanding leads to:

Reacting instead of responding

Making excuses and blaming others

Lack of responsibility and accountability

Living without purpose

UNDERSTANDING brings favour, wisdom, and purpose in God’s grace.

Scriptural Focus:

Proverbs 4:7 – Get wisdom and understanding

Proverbs 13:15 – Good understanding gives favor

Proverbs 21:16 – Wander out of understanding’s way = unproductive

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

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING

April 15, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING – [WISDOM] – IN YOUR PASSION: THAT’S THE PATH TO GRACIOUSNESS AND GRACEFULNESS!

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but not ACCORDING to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and going about to ESTABLISH their OWN righteousness, have NOT SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

To have ZEAL, being zealous, otherwise called PASSION is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – it’s full of foolishness, frustration and equally erroneous too [Romans 10:1-4]. A mere zealous or zealousness or just being passionate can create mistaken atmosphere due to pure ignorance especially in context of matters except there’s knowledge in the passion of which Jesus rebuked the Sadducees of their erroneous and mistaken acts to the context of resurrection as an example.

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [DO ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING the scriptures, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:29 [23-33].

And KNOWLEDGE is good, but without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance, pride and rudeness. The place of knowledge cannot be taken lightly in every phase of doing life and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Knowledge emancipates and delivers from all forms of stupidity, ignorance, and foolishness.

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1.

But where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together, therein is the WISDOM to do life and much more. The WISDOM to be accomplished and fulfilled in life will always show up. Proverbs 4:5-7.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Get WISDOM, get UNDERSTANDING: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:5-7.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD [DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine.

“Good UNDERSTANDING wins FAVOR, but the WAY of the TRANSGRESSOR is hard [like the BARREN, DRY soil or the IMPASSABLE swamp]” Proverbs 13:15/AMP Classic Edition.

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16.

“A man who WANDERS from the WAY of UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) will REMAIN in the ASSEMBLY of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16.

Further Scriptural Reading: Proverbs 16:16; 4:5; James 1:5.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of combining zeal (passion) with knowledge and understanding to achieve wisdom, which is the principal thing. Having zeal without knowledge is dangerous and can lead to foolishness, frustration, and error, as seen in the example of the Sadducees (Matthew 22:23-33, Romans 10:1-4).

Key points:

Zeal and passion are good, but without knowledge, they’re incomplete and potentially destructive.

Knowledge without understanding breeds arrogance and pride (1 Corinthians 8:1).

When zeal, knowledge, and understanding come together, wisdom is the result, leading to a fulfilling life (Proverbs 4:5-7).

Wisdom is the principal thing to seek and acquire (Proverbs 4:7).

Good understanding gives favour and leads to a productive life (Proverbs 13:15).

Scriptural references support the importance of seeking wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to live a godly life. The message encourages readers to earnestly desire wisdom in their passion and pursuits.

Supporting scriptures:

Proverbs 4:5-7 (get wisdom, get understanding)

Romans 10:1-4 (zeal without knowledge is incomplete)

Matthew 22:29 (Jesus rebuked the Sadducees for lacking knowledge)

1 Corinthians 8:1 (knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies)

Proverbs 13:15 (good understanding gives favour)

The message concludes that wisdom is key to a fulfilling life, and readers are encouraged to seek it in their passions and pursuits

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS

April 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS: ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS!

Beloved of God, it’s imperative that in your redemption deed of rights, you ensure you possess your possession, living godly in Christ Jesus stead. This happens when your faith communicates effectively to life’s matters – earthly or heavenly – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (COMMUNICATION) of our FAITH without WAVERING; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23 Emphasis Mine..

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God.

There’s a DEED OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus, but it’s your prerogative to ask, seek and knock after it to make it a reality for you.

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible:

FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – DONE DEED – for you and all in Him;

And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

Until you ENSURE, ENACT, and ACTUALISE REDEMPTION’s essence in you, your FAITH COMMUNICATION to life matters will struggle, feel strange, tasking, and burdensome – contrary to 1 John 5:3. That’s why there are many ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUJA’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians, despite their efforts in Church, fasting, prayers, traditions. But this OUGHT not to be so in Christ, REDEMPTION’s essence should impact EVERY AREA of life.

You APPROPRIATE and ENACT through PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of what God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD via the HOLY SPIRIT.

Here are REASONS to seek KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God’s DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:

That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

That knowledge will deliver you from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.

That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.

That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.

That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.

That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

If your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

When you add a little MORE knowledge to your daily life, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS IN YOUR REDEMPTION BILL OF RIGHTS

April 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS IN YOUR REDEMPTION BILL OF RIGHTS: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH COMMUNICATION!

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah lifestyle over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God.

There’s a BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus. But it’s your prerogative to ask, seek, and knock after it to make it a reality for you.

You need to know your REDEMPTION reality is made possible FIRSTLY through ACKNOWLEDGING your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM – a DONE DEED by Christ Jesus for you; and SECONDLY by UNDERSTANDING HOW to COMMUNICATE your FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:

And until you ENSURE, ENACT, and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in you, the COMMUNICATING your FAITH in Christ to life matters will be a struggle, strange, tasking, and burdensome – contrary to 1 John 5:3. That’s why there are many ‘Amen’, ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Bless me’ Christians despite their efforts in the Church, fasting, prayers and religious practices to make REDEMPTION’s essence real in EVERY AREAS of life. And this OUGHT not to be so in Christ and for all Christ is to us in Him by REDEMPTION.

You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU, and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly.

Here are reasons to seek knowledge and understanding of all God DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, to appropriate your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:

That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

That knowledge will deliver you from life and scriptural errors, and helps you engage God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.

That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.

That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.

That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.

That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

That People who hates knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

That whatever you have no value for, you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 6:10-12; Obadiah 1:17; Deuteronomy 1:6-8; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of knowing and understanding your redemption rights in Christ Jesus. It encourages believers to move beyond a “complain-hallelujah lifestyle” and instead, take possession of their possessions in redemption by acknowledging and communicating their faith effectively.

Key points include:

Your name is engraved in the Bill of Rights in Redemption, but you must ask, seek, and knock to make it a reality.

Redemption is made possible by acknowledging your rights and privileges in the Kingdom (a done deed by Christ) and understanding how to communicate your faith in life matters.

Without this understanding, communicating faith can be a struggle, tasking, and burdensome, contrary to 1 John 5:3.

Personal knowledge and understanding of redemption are crucial to appropriating and enacting it in your life.

The message lists reasons to seek knowledge and understanding of God’s done deed in Christ, including freedom, dominion, power, and effectiveness in life.

Scriptural references support the importance of knowledge, understanding, and communicating faith for a victorious Christian life.

The message urges believers to value knowledge, grow in understanding, and apply redemption principles to possess their possessions and live a purposeful life in Christ.

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – SUCH A TIME AS THIS GENERATION

March 23, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – SUCH A TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE – SEEK A FRIEND, PASTOR, COUNSELOR!

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS, they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22.

It’s TIMELESS TIMES with many reasons to be in a DESPONDENT state – an UNHEALTHY state. But in a time like this, you don’t have to be in a DESPONDENT state. To have leverage and move into an onward and upward trajectory with God in Christ Jesus, it’s time to crave, seek, pursue and follow the path that gives you the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING you need through counselling. That way, you can thrive and move onward and upward, out of the darkness that has bewildered you. Know this truth: there’s light of God shining out of the midst of the dark, by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For God, who COMMANDED the LIGHT to shine OUT of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

More so, you can get help through finding [and confiding on] a reliable and trusted FRIEND, PASTOR and COUNSELOR to help you out of any of the dark and darkness in whatever form of DESPONDENCY into the light of life in Christ Jesus stead; and by such wisdom nugget counsel, you can thrive and live again in God’s grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“A man that hath friends must SHEW himself FRIENDLY: and there is a friend that STICKETH CLOSER than a brother” Proverbs 18:24.

It’s always good and healthy for me to take time – one –on- one – to share life matters with a gracious person, a TRUSTED Sister, friend, or confidant, in a relaxed and leisurely moment, without prejudice, sentiments, or pretence. And you can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it lasts, like I do. Life is good and enriching with God, having one good, God reverential fearing Friend, Pastor, or Counselor – at least one you can rely on and trust without shame or fear. Someone you can also be honest and open-hearted with, share with, even in tears over a shameful fault, without being judged. That will help you and give you the enabling gracious path you need to thrive again and fulfil the God-given and God-driven-purpose being affected by your current despondent state.

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS, they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22.

It’s true there may have been many disappointing friends, pastors, or counselors to TRUST and RELY ON, but I know you can still find one TRUSTED one among many- as you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY too, in expecting the same from OTHERS. And you can find one today, that can BOOST your FAITH, HOPE and LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter how bad it seems; this is only possible if you can make an effort to reach out to them without shame, pride and arrogance, rather than staying in a state of being DESPONDENT about life generally – for there’s a gracious opportunity out there under God, to give you the leverage you need for an onward and upward trajectory in doing life and loving godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

Just as we seek after trusted Pastor’s and friends, to FEED us without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation, it’s important to ensure that such counsel and counselling of help is built on the PRINCIPLE of rightful knowledge and understanding in God’s Word to authenticate your redemption in Christ Jesus – this is to enable you do life in the grace, effectually and efficiently; hence, you must endeavour to get a trusted, and God reverential fearing FRIEND – PASTOR – COUNSELOR, that won’t market you for their selfish, self-centredness and self-gratification, while on your part, you can be HONEST enough to detail matters even to a fault and feel safe in every way in LIFE and GRACE.

Although it may be rare to get a trusted, honest, and God reverential fearing person, they ARE there – people of goodwill and love of God in Christ Jesus stead. When you take a step of faith, acting by the Holy Spirit within you for direction, don’t stay STUCK or sit STATIC in life and suffer when there’e help out there for your good and wellbeing. God has more to do in and through you than you can imagine in your LONE or LONELY path or self-defeat position. No matter how bad things are today, cornering you to a despondent state, always remember this scriptural thought:

“. . . 16 for a just [justified, righteous] man FALLETH seven times, and RISETH up again . . .” Proverbs 24:15-18/Emphasis Mine.

It’s time to BELIEVE again in order to create, innovate, initiate and explore God’s given opportunities and endowments out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend, Pastor, or counselor, that you can sit together and share your hearts without shame, fear and prejudice even if it’s to a fault by being honest to yourself, to God, and to your counselor.

There’s hope in God. There’s a miracle. God is faithful, true, and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance [irrevocable] except you refuse God’s enabling opportunity in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today – don’t give up due to one mistake, failure, or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God, there’s a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS!

May you find a reason to rise again today. God loves and cares about you, even so, do so in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
