THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

I just want to REMIND you for your NOW and for your TOMORROW, hoping that you might have known or that you probably being INFOMED for the first time, that every born-again believing child of God in Christ Jesus IS A BATTLEFIELD; and in a battlefield KNOWINGLY and UNKNOWINGLY. And there is the need to DAILY SHARPEN your INSTRUMENT [WEAPONRY] and KEEP it READY to ENGAGE in any BATTLES in the NOW or tomorrow [Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified]. It is because the ENEMY and his cohorts with whom we are ENGAGED are ROARING and ROAMING AROUND, SEEKING whom to DEVOUR – [1 Peter 5:8-11]. Therefore, there is the NEED to GET yourself and your spiritual weaponry ready 24/7 as you do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. And spiritual weaponry exercise is NOT to be TAKEN for GRANTED. It is WORTH the exercise because of the EFFECTS in the LIFE NOW and the LIFE TO COME.

“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto GODLINESS. 8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS is PROFITABLE unto all things, having PROMISE of the life that NOW IS, and of that which IS TO COME” 1 Timothy 4:7-8.

“But have nothing to do with irreverent folklore and silly myths. On the other hand, DISCIPLINE yourself for the PURPOSE of GODLINESS [keeping yourself SPIRITUALLY FIT]. 8 For physical training is of some value, but GODLINESS (SPIRITUAL TRAINING) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the PRESENT LIFE and for the LIFE TO COME” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Amplified.

It is TIME, as an unparalleled army of God in Christ Jesus, to EXERCISE the KNOW-HOW to be THE COMBATANT and MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER with the ARMOUR for warfare –

and THE ANTIDOTE to deal with the ENEMY and the COHORTS’ WILES and ASSAULTS.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

And we can DO VALIANTLY and MORE, KNOWING that our WEAPONRY is sharpened, tested and ready for USE whenever REQUIRED for the DESIRED EFFECT in the grace. Much MORE, KNOWING that our GOD is EVER SET to MAKE a PUBLIC SHOW [spectacle] of the enemy and his cohorts as He has DONE BEFORE, and NOW THROUGH US for His GLORY and PRAISE in the grace.

“Through God we shall do VALIANTLY [VICTORIOUSLY]: for He it is that shall TREAD [TRAMPLED] DOWN our ENEMIES” Psalms 60:12/Emphasis Mine.

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [exhibiting them as CAPTIVES in His triumphal procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through [a]the cross” Colossians 2:14-15/Amplified.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH US to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his knowledge BY US in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

It may not surprise you how much forecast is made yearly in budgetary investment that is showcased for military might by some nations. Their intent is to ensure that both their OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE operations and mechanisms, along with the training of their combatant military forces, are ready and securely set at the top of the range for combating. This they do as a measure to stand out among other nations and to send clear warning signs to their national neighbours and competitors of how prepared they are in any battles that may arise – be it on land, air and sea and such like.

Today, lots of nations are investing heavily to fight cyberspace wars against many factors in the sphere, whilst others are engaged in terrorism of various spheres. This is to tell you that the ENEMY and his COHORTS are at war naturally, as you can hear or see or read about in various places and some are near you, or you are a part of national wars and warfare; whilst others are undergoing some threatening’s and others are witnessing international war investment in various continents of the world. In each case WEAPONRY is involved, with personnel answering to their commandants and heads of state as commissioned.

DESPITE all the huge investments in these natural nations, lives are lost, weaponry and weapons are destroyed, whilst some become obsolete in order to give room to new innovations in technology. These natural wars and warfares are in vast difference from the wars and warfare which the unparalleled armies of God in Christ Jesus are engaged with. They are equally located and stationed in every territory of the world, beyond the limits and boundaries of nations and national limitations.

As in the humanly made army described above that are limited in nature, in comparison to the divinely arranged spiritual army, as ascribed as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – which IS the Church of God in Christ Jesus – the weaponry in use for warfare are not carnal; meaning they are not man-made or humanly crafted. The weaponry in use by the UNPARALLELED ARMY are not external as in the world; but are SPIRITUAL, made as OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour for spiritual warfare. For our warfare is spiritual and not fought or battled in the flesh (physical), though it has physical effects. Hence our armour is expected to be PUT ON 24/7 by God’s unparalleled army in order to be always ready to triumph in Christ Jesus’ stead in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14. This is also explained in full as enjoined in the epistle scripture of Ephesians 6:10-18, as instructed by Apostle Paul to the Church at Ephesus. It is by PUTTING ON this OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour that we are able to stand AGAINST the enemy and his cohorts in every phase of warfare in our walk of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus’ stead.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It must be noted that the armour for our warfare to battle against the WILES of the enemy and his cohorts and their modes of operandi – in every and all their forms of manifestation against our FAITH in Christ Jesus – are readily available for our disposal and utilisation. Our place in Christ is to EXERCISE the rights and privileges in the FAITH upon which we stand in Christ Jesus, in order to enact, authentic and put the weapons and armour into use, to ensure and assure the essence and purpose for which it has been given to us all – as the REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus’ stead.

“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 when our grandstanding PURPOSE are not exercised or utilised, and are misused, the enemy rules and reigns – Hence there are many REDEEMED children of God today, that are still struggling in their walk and work with God. This is for their inability to EXERCISE or to be EXERCISING the SURE and ASSURED weaponry, to bring ALL the works of the enemy and his cohorts down to the footstool. Just as our Lord and Saviour Jesus in His humanity, and the early Disciples – called Apostles – did exercise in their time, as examples before us and for our learning ahead of time in Christ Jesus’ stead. Hence we are enjoined in this Scripture:

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not CARRYING ON our [spiritual] WARFARE according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT PHYSICAL [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our WEAPONS are DIVINELY POWERFUL for the destruction of fortresses.5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified.

“Behold, they shall SURELY GATHER TOGETHER, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall rise AGAINST thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

Herein are some major spiritual weaponry and armour to be exercised and put to use in order – to authenticate, enact and realise our VICTORY in ALL battles and warfare:

EXERCISING the spirit of being always on your UNIFORM – SPIRITUAL
ARMOURING and WEAPONRY – Ephesians 6:10-18.
EXERCISING the WORD of FAITH (Knowledge and understanding of the WORD and Faith declaration or Confession of the WORD accordingly) – Mark 11:22-23; Luke 4:1-3; Luke 4:1-13; Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 91:11-12; Revelation 12:11; Matthew 8:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 5:8-9; John 6:63; Hebrews 10:23; Proverbs 6:2; Romans 10:8-10.
EXERCISING the NAME of JESUS – Luke 10:17; Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 4:12; Acts 3:6-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:16-20; John 14:12-17.
EXERCISING the BLOOD of JESUS – Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 9:12; Colossians 1:14: Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6.
EXERCISING the Power of PRAISE and WORSHIP – Psalms 149; Psalms 150; Psalms 8:2; 2 Chronicles 20:20-25, Joshua 6:1-21.
EXERCISING the PLACE of PRAYERS and FASTING – Acts 4:23-31; Acts 6:4; Mark 1:35; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 17:13-21/Mark 9:14-29; Luke 18:1-8; James 5:13-16; Mark 6:12-13. Matthew 6:5-18.
EXERCISING the Leadership of the Holy Spirit – Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 3:8; John 16:13-15; Romans 8: 11-16, 26-27; Jude 1:20; Ephesians 6:18.

And there are three strategic WILES and MODES of OPERANDI that are scripturally known to be in use by satan and his cohorts against our FAITH in Christ Jesus. And for each we are fully informed with the Scriptural ANTIDOTE that can and will always COMBAT the enemy and his cohorts’ wiles, as we are enjoined to:

“PUT ON THE WHOLE Armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL” Ephesians 6:11.

Herein are the ENEMY and his COHORTS wiles and modes of Operandi and our instructed antidote to note concerning them – and how to deal with their craft and cunning tactics accordingly:

AS A ROARING LION – 1 Peter 5:8.
ANTIDOTE: 1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7.
AS A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING – Matthew 7:15.
ANTIDOTE: Matthew 7:16, 20.
AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT – 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.
ANTIDOTE: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

Suffice it to know full well that overtime, one thing is certain and it’s worth noting that – Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and his cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died. Yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus – hallelujah – the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force that’s universally located and stationed and known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges. And all this in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and his COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit – through His UNPARALLELED ARMY, the Church of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould

The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in every way by the challenges that are emanating today and any day in the future. Because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and IT IS an EVERLASTING KINGDOM. And thus, it endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS, irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the pathway, as we SEE DAILY in ALL the multimedia channels and events near you.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus/ stead – is at WAR with the FLESH within; and without, at WAR with the enemy and his cohorts that are against our FAITH in Christ Jesus. At WAR with spiritual forces and principalities and powers in heavenly and earthly places of doing life. At WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglements, doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional byelaws and creeds in the name of God. And at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God, as He leads the Church – you, local and universal.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); 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, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11;

And because we ARE at war and warfare entails it, it takes a spirited, combatant, Militant-Like Soldier stand to combat, to win and triumph daily and always – as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly – wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth, with the angelic assisted army – is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial representatives in Christ Jesus’ stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there is no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We must war lawfully and obediently, otherwise we will be court-martialled and declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” status for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

Be assured that our weaponry is sure, assured to bring all things under God’s control. For in Christ Jesus all things – flesh, animate and inanimate – are subdued and brought into SUBJECTION to the captain of the HOST of God’s unparalleled army. (John 17:2; John 13:3; Philippians 3:20-21; Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 10:17-20).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And THE CAPTAIN of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so” Joshua 5:13-15.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on THE BREASTPLATE of righteousness; 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of THE GOSPEL of peace; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and THE SWORD of the Spirit, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to WIN MY BATTLES. 4 I use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS, NOT THOSE MADE BY MEN, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These WEAPONS can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding Him. With these WEAPONS I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, AND A GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have finished my course, I have KEPT THE FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

“Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise AGAINST thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“ASSOCIATE yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be BROKEN in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 Take COUNSEL TOGETHER, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: FOR GOD IS WITH US. 11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12 SAY YE NOT, A CONFEDERACY, to all them to whom this people shall say, A CONFEDERACY; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13 SANCTIFY the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread . . . 16 BIND UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES. 17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 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 8:9-22

“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 say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL against it” Matthew 16:18.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH US THE VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

“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.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN you, than he that is in the world. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of ERROR” 1 John 4:4-6.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to THE WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

SUMMARY:

This is a prophetic charge to the Church as God’s UNPARALLELED ARMY to WAKE UP, ARM UP, and WARFARE according to Scripture. It is not natural warfare, but SPIRITUAL WARFARE with DIVINE WEAPONRY.

KEY POINTS

THE CORE REALITY: WE ARE IN WAR

Every born-again believer IS a battlefield — knowingly and unknowingly.

The ENEMY and his COHORTS ARE ROARING, ROAMING, SEEKING whom to DEVOUR — [1 Peter 5:8-11].

Our warfare is NOT CARNAL. “The weapons of our warfare are NOT PHYSICAL” — [2 Corinthians 10:3-6]. They are DIVINELY POWERFUL to destroy fortresses, arguments, and proud things.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper — [Isaiah 54:15-17]. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord.

THE MANDATE: EXERCISE THE ARMOUR AND WEAPONRY DAILY

We are called to DAILY SHARPEN and KEEP READY our spiritual instrument — [Ecclesiastes 10:10].
Major spiritual weaponry to be EXERCISED:

THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD — Truth, Righteousness, Gospel of Peace, Faith, Salvation, Word, Prayer — [Ephesians 6:10-18] to STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.

THE WORD OF FAITH — Knowledge, declaration, confession — [Mark 11:22-23; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 10:8-10].

THE NAME OF JESUS — Authority over all — [Philippians 2:9-11; Mark 16:16-20].

THE BLOOD OF JESUS — Victory and cleansing — [Revelation 12:11; Ephesians 1:7].

PRAISE AND WORSHIP — Weapon that brings down walls — [Psalms 149; 2 Chronicles 20:20-25; Joshua 6].

PRAYER AND FASTING — Power for breakthrough — [Acts 4:23-31; Matthew 17:21].

THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT — Guidance and power — [Romans 8:11-16; Ephesians 6:18].

THE ENEMY’S 3 STRATEGIC WILES AND THE SCRIPTURAL ANTIDOTES
AS A ROARING LION — [1 Peter 5:8]
ANTIDOTE: Resist steadfast in the Faith — [1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7]
AS A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING — [Matthew 7:15]
ANTIDOTE: Discern by their fruits — [Matthew 7:16, 20]
AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT — [2 Corinthians 11:13-15]
ANTIDOTE: Test the spirits by the gifts — [1 Corinthians 12:8-10]

THE CERTAINTY OF VICTORY: KINGDOMS FALL, THE CHURCH MARCHES ON

Kingdoms, empires, dictators that covenanted with satan have RISEN and FALLEN.

Yet the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus — the UNPARALLELED ARMY — keeps MARCHING ON TRIUMPHANTLY on earth, beneath the earth, and in the heavens.

Because the Kingdom is EVERLASTING — [Psalms 145:13; 22:28].
“The gates of hell shall NOT prevail against it” — [Matthew 16:18].

God makes a PUBLIC SHOW of the enemy — [Colossians 2:14-15].
“Through God we shall do VALIANTLY, for He shall TREAD DOWN our enemies” — [Psalm 60:12].

THE IDENTITY AND DISCIPLINE OF THE SOLDIER

The MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER is at WAR:
With the FLESH WITHIN, with the ENEMY WITHOUT, with spiritual forces, with religious dogmas and creeds, and with all the Holy Spirit exposes.

We WAR LAWFULLY and OBEDIENTLY — [2 Timothy 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6].
To war otherwise is to be COURT-MARTIALLED — “PERSONA NON GRATA”.

This privilege is by GRACE. We are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST — [2 Corinthians 5:17-21].

Christ Jesus is the CAPTAIN OF THE HOST — [Joshua 5:13-15]. With the angelic assisted army, VICTORY IS ASSURED.

THE FINAL CHARGE AND SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH — [1 Timothy 6:12]

BE STRONG IN THE LORD… PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR — [Ephesians 6:10-18]

WAR A GOOD WARFARE, HOLDING FAITH AND A GOOD CONSCIENCE — [1 Timothy 1:18-20]

I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT; I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH — [2 Timothy 4:7-8]

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS… OVERCOMERS… VICTORS — [Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 2 Corinthians 2:14]

TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY — if they speak not according to this Word, there is no light in them — [Isaiah 8:20]

THE OVERALL MESSAGE IN ONE LINE:

The Church is God’s UNPARALLELED ARMY. The battle is spiritual. The weapons are divine. The enemy’s tactics are exposed. The armour is available. The victory is assured in Christ Jesus. Therefore: SHARPEN, PUT ON, STAND, EXERCISE, and TRIUMPH 24/7.

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER: THE UNPARALLELED ARMY

July 21, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER: THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead!

“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same COMMIT thou to FAITHFUL men, who shall be able to TEACH others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, AS A GOOD SOLDIER of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the AFFAIRS of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a SOLDIER. 5 And if a man also STRIVE FOR MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:1-5

The Church of God, as an UNPARALLELED ARMY, is like a militant soldier who is daily at WAR in every aspect of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead.
The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual WARFARE.

And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus needs to know it and be ready to engage whenever and wherever in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world, with resultant challenges to individuals’ lives, families, communities, nations, and more.

AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH THAT’S GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN NATURE IN CHRIST JESUS, BUILT-UP TO WIN AND TRIUMPH DAILY AS SET AND ASSURED

“But THANKS be to God, Who in Christ always LEADS us in TRIUMPH [as TROPHIES of Christ’s victory] and through us SPREADS and makes EVIDENT the FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of God EVERYWHERE, 15 For we are the SWEET FRAGRANCE of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing” 2 Corinthians 2:14-15/Amplified Classic Edition.

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil OPERATING AGAINST us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED OVER them through the cross” Colossians 2:14-15/Amplified.

The Church of God, in Christ Jesus’ stead, though engaged in constant MILITANT-LIKE spiritual warfare, is also a TRIUMPHANT Church.
Every warfare and battle defines, refines, refreshes, energises, rejuvenates, refires, and renews the Church; hence the Church is GLORIOUS in all, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts’ efforts to fake, duplicate, pervert, and counterfeit these glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand, else you become victim and prey rather than victor.
You are a WINNER in Christ Jesus’ stead any day and any way, everywhere, as long as you know and understand that you are equipped — being born of God and filled with His Spirit — to get engaged with the battles within and without.
Ephesians 6:10-20

The militant-like soldier — the Church of God in Christ Jesus’ stead — is at WAR with the FLESH within; and at WAR without, with the ENEMY and COHORTS that are against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and at WAR with spiritual forces and PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; and at WAR with man-made religious dogmas, denominational entanglements, doctrinal sectarian bonds, and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God; and at WAR with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church — you, local and universal.
[2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Ephesians 6:10-20; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Philippians 3:18-19; 1 Peter 5:8-10; Acts 8:10-25]

And this WAR and WARFARE is about our FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hence Apostle Paul says we should FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, indicating that some fights are uncalled-for, not good fights, not fights worth engaging in, and we should be aliens to them by every means.

Suffice it to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS are not necessarily after your physical possessions and wellbeing in their engagement of WAR and WARFARE against you.
They are actually using the things you think THEY ARE after as a distraction from the real deal.
Their main target is your FAITH — to make you GIVE UP on your faith in God in Christ Jesus.

Knowing that, as long as your steadfastness in God in Christ Jesus remains steady, you can ALWAYS recover all losses by winning and victorious FAITH, as Job did [1 John 5:3-5].
For Job recovered the more by taking the stand that the REDEEMER lives, in spite of all he went through with Satan and cohorts, friends, and wife against his stand in God — Job 19:25; Job 42:10-17.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12

And because we ARE at war and warfare, it takes a spirited Militant-Like Soldier stand to win and triumph daily and always, as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy Writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5.
And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the Captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelically assisted army, is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming, and such like. Joshua 5:13-15
And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God, and that gives us in the earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadors and representatives in Christ Jesus’ stead — 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
And as such, there is no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently, otherwise we will be court-martialled and declared “PERSONA NON GRATA” for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. [2 Timothy 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6]

Herein are some lessons to keep in mind as the UNPARALLELED ARMY — the Church of God in Christ Jesus’ stead — in order to avoid setbacks and set-ups, and to create a safety and security net that is WORTH doing to win in life and grace.

To begin with, WHAT IS A CHURCH?
A Church is you — an individual, the local, and the universal body of born-again Believers of God — on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus, filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, having under a Shepherd.
The reason why this CHURCH definition is important in the context of the Scriptures is because there are many loose individuals and local Believers out there who belong to no Shepherd, or rather are not under any Shepherd for reckoning, and as such are unaccountable to any under God as the Scripture has enjoined — [Hebrews 13:16-17].
Such Believers are vulnerable, positioned in a state of vulnerability knowingly or unknowingly — which is a state of ignorance, foolishness, arrogance, and stupidity due to zealousness without knowledge and understanding in context and perception.

For a while, my younger children have been watching a Netflix documentary programme called OUR PLANET. In the course of sitting with the children on a few occasions, I became curious about how the cat family — especially the Lion and Leopard — easily target their prey in order to feed and make a meal of them.
Most of the time, I discovered they are always looking to target a stand-alone prey from the herd. And once identified, in their chase they can corner that vulnerable stand-alone, and their day’s meal is set and made readily ready.
And it gives me a picture of how the ENEMY and COHORTS go about looking for that vulnerable stand-alone Believer in Christ Jesus — who is not keen to have a covering Shepherd over their head. They roam about as spiritual harlots, accountable to no one, and none can account on their behalf — Hebrews 13:16-17.
These Believers that belong to no fellowship, or local assembly, or attend any gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people are exposed as lone soldiers for the enemy and cohorts to PREY upon in challenging and difficult times.

DON’T BE A LONE MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER, BELIEVER, AND MINISTER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST GOSPEL MINISTRY
When you think that because you can read the Bible and pray to Father God in Christ Jesus, and speak in tongues of the Holy Spirit, you do not need interaction, communication, and fellowship with other Believers of the same Father — you are knowingly setting yourself up as a lone soldier.
I have seen people who are so bound to their set denomination, doctrine, and sectarian setting that when they come to a new dwelling place and cannot find the same kind of local assembly they came from, they will not worship and serve God wholeheartedly in any new place of gathering.
And some will immediately form their own gathering as if that is the only mark to worship and serve God worthily and acceptably and make heaven.
And unfortunately, some Ministers are not in any way out of this hook, because they have so much indoctrinated people with denominational spirit rather than with the Gospel of the body ministry of Christ Jesus. As such, they use their opportunity to open up an extension of their denomination branch and immediately make such people Pastors overnight, even when the individuals know there is no call of God upon their life for such spiritual placement and position. Hence today there are all manner of confusion, schisms, perversion, and adulteration in the body ministry of the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
And it is of such like that Apostle Paul warns Timothy not to suddenly lay hands on any man for a spiritual high office, to safeguard the body ministry — 1 Timothy 5:22.

In my watching over natural national militant soldiers and interacting with a few to hear their respective storylines, one thing I have learnt and can conclude is that they never fight alone without team spirit and set back-ups, so that when there is an injury from the enemy and cohorts’ side, there is an immediate response to take their own out of the battle side, whether dead or alive, to preserve the honour, dignity, and integrity to SERVE as a soldier.
Unfortunately, in Church life over the years, especially where ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and schism exist, I have seen from the grandstand where fellow UNPARALLELED ARMY are abandoned and left for the enemy and cohorts to have a full feed day upon, in the name of punishment or sectarian reasons.
Yet, the Commandant of the UNPARALLELED ARMY, our Lord Jesus, will not abandon and let His own be devoured, but will take them along as the good, Chief, and Great Shepherd of the sheep, to nurse His own and strengthen them so that they can recover speedily and live to fight another day, as David did against the Lion and the Bear that came for his father’s sheep he was shepherding — and he was able to keep the sheep safe, secure, and protected as the Scriptures recorded — 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

You ARE a MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER.
You ARE THE UNPARALLELED ARMY.
You ARE the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus’ stead.
Be wise to take your place and PUT OFF the civilian uniform and PUT ON the armour of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus’ stead.
Amen. Colossians 3:9-15; Ephesians 6:10-18

BLESSED REGARDS IN THIS READ IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS. AMEN.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL against it” Matthew 16:18.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH US THE VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6:10-20.

SUMMARY:
The message presents the Church of God as God’s UNPARALLELED ARMY — militant-like soldiers engaged in constant spiritual warfare, yet at the same time triumphant, glorious and victorious in Christ Jesus.

BIBLICAL FOUNDATION FOR THE SOLDIER IDENTITY
Drawn from 2 Timothy 2:1-5, every believer is called to:

Be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus

Endure hardness AS A GOOD SOLDIER

Not entangle with the affairs of this life in order to PLEASE Him who chose us

STRIVE LAWFULLY so we can be crowned
Other anchors: Ephesians 6:10-20 — put on the whole armour. 1 Peter 5:8-11 — be sober, vigilant, resist the devil steadfast in faith.

THE NATURE OF THE WARFARE

This is not physical war. The Church is at WAR:

Within — with the FLESH

Without — with the ENEMY and COHORTS against our FAITH

With spiritual forces, PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS

With man-made religious dogmas, denominationalism, sectarian bonds, traditions
The real target of the enemy is not your possessions. It is your FAITH — to make you GIVE UP on God. But like Job, victorious faith means you can ALWAYS recover all losses — Job 19:25; Job 42:10-17; 1 John 5:3-5.

THE CHURCH’S TRIUMPHANT IDENTITY

Though in warfare, the Church is GLORIOUS and TRIUMPHANT.

Christ has already DISARMED rulers and authorities and TRIUMPHED OVER them — Colossians 2:14-15

God ALWAYS CAUSES US TO TRIUMPH in Christ — 2 Corinthians 2:14

We are MORE THAN CONQUERORS — Romans 8:37

The GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL — Matthew 16:18
Every battle defines, refines, energises and renews the Church. Satan’s attempts to fake and counterfeit cannot diminish her beauty.

THE CALL: DON’T BE A LONE SOLDIER

A key warning: DON’T BE A LONE MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER.
Using the illustration from OUR PLANET, lions and leopards target stand-alone prey. In the same way the enemy looks for Believers with no covering Shepherd, no fellowship, no local assembly.
Hebrews 13:16-17 is cited — we need to be accountable under a Shepherd.
Problems highlighted:

Denominational bondage that prevents worshipping elsewhere

People forming their own gatherings without calling

Ministers making people Pastors overnight without God’s call — 1 Timothy 5:22
This creates confusion, schisms and perversion.
Like natural soldiers who fight with team spirit and back-ups, the Church must not abandon her own. Jesus as Commandant and Great Shepherd will nurse, strengthen and restore us to fight again — 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

OUR PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY

Because of grace, we have the right to be ambassadors and representatives of Christ — 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
Christ is the Captain of the host with an angelically assisted army — Joshua 5:13-15.
Therefore we must war LAWFULLY and OBEDIENTLY, else we face spiritual “court-martial”.

FINAL CHARGE

You ARE a MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER. You ARE THE UNPARALLELED ARMY. You ARE the CHURCH.
Put off the civilian uniform. PUT ON the armour of God. Be wise, be in fellowship, be under covering, and FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH — 1 Timothy 6:12.

IN ONE SENTENCE:
Because we are in a daily spiritual war, every believer must recognise they are part of God’s UNPARALLELED ARMY, fight lawfully and in community under Christ the Captain, guard their faith above all, and live as a triumphant, glorious Church that cannot be defeated.

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

July 11, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!

“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING teaches you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His ANOINTING has TAUGHT you, you must REMAIN in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:27/AMP.

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for anyone, especially for the born-again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly, and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus’ stead.

It then means CHARISMA is of NO PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHINESS and TRUTH and such like, in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.

In life, most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in the course of time without CHARACTER. Hence these WISDOM NUGGETS are needful for guidance, as I hereby state:

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the goods of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity”

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on A daily basis.

The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues are indicated in these scriptural contexts:

CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit, as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

The Holy Spirit is the PERSONALITY that ENABLES God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus a COMPLETE GOSPEL.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified).

“These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and BRING all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” John 14:25-26.

“But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man TEACH you: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is NO LIE, and even as it hath TAUGHT you, ye shall ABIDE in him” 1 John 2:27.

SUMMARY:

This message is a Kingdom teaching and charge on balancing CHARISMA with CHARACTER through the Holy Spirit to live a victorious, sustained Christian life in Redemption.

THE SOURCE: THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE ANOINTING

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION.

The believer has received the ANOINTING — the SPECIAL gift, the preparation — which REMAINS PERMANENTLY in you 1 John 2:27.

The Holy Spirit as the COMFORTER TEACHES you all things, BRINGS things to remembrance, and gives insight John 14:25-26.

“The LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

The Holy Spirit is the PERSONALITY that ENABLES God’s GRACE to activate genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER.

DEFINITION AND ROLE OF CHARISMA

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness, especially for the born again believer in Christ Jesus.

CHARISMA refers to capacity, productivity and talents. It is an act of the GIFTS of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

CHARISMA can TAKE you to the TOP — through capacity, talents, riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more.

But CHARISMA alone is NOT SUSTAINABLE in the course of time without character.

DEFINITION AND ROLE OF CHARACTER

CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain CHARISMA in doing life and living godly, and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUEROR’S life IN REDEMPTION Romans 8:37, in Christ Jesus’ stead.

CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY, HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHINESS and TRUTH and such like, produced in the Holy Spirit.

CHARACTER is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

Without CHARACTER, CHARISMA is of NO PURPOSE. It makes the whole purpose of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable.

Only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and the essence of CHARACTER will sustain you at the top with honour and dignity.

THE MANDATE: BALANCE AND BUILD UP

CHARISMA and CHARACTER are ESSENTIALS to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

There is a NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues on A daily basis.

To ensure genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER, you must be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.

“BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith… pray in the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God” Jude 20-21.

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing CHARISMA AND CHARACTER makes DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus A COMPLETE GOSPEL.

WARNING AND WISDOM NUGGET

WISDOM NUGGET:
“The CHARISMA — capacity, talents and the goods of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more — may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity.”

Most people are carried away by CHARISMA, forgetting that without CHARACTER it will not last.

FINAL CHARGE

God has given you the ANOINTING that abides. He has given you GIFTS for CHARISMA and FRUIT for CHARACTER.
Build up, remain in Him, walk by the Spirit, and let both charisma and character reflect Christ, so your life becomes a complete Gospel.

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT

July 11, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER ENSURES AND ASSURES YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT IN GRACE!

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance: AGAINST such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious, ineffable quality; you either have it, or you don’t.

The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses:

COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others;
A DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17.

It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATION in every respect of manifestation and operation.

CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER – is defined and applied as the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged, apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morally.

And for the BELIEVER in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT or CHARISMA for doing life and living godly – which is a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS (endowment) combined with TALENTS – is sustained in grace and in life by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5. This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that formulates one’s character to uphold the integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic endowment includes, but is not limited to: Galatians 5:22-23 and 2 Peter 1:5-11 and Philippians 4:8 and Romans 12:9-21 etc.

Love (Charitable)

Peace

Longsuffering (Endurance)

Gentleness

Goodness (Virtue)

Faith (Faithfulness)

Meekness

Temperance (Self Control)

Patience

Brotherly Kindness

Godliness

Honesty

Purity

. . . And such like – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more highlights in various places in the scriptures . . .

If these things – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one will be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to anyone, just as Jesus did in humanity – 1 Peter 2:21-25.

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operation. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But only your CHARACTER makes and keeps you in your THERE after all.

Your CHARACTER – is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, Temperance: AGAINST such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.

“And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. . .” 2 Peter 1:5-11.

“FINALLY, BRETHREN, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS’ Philippians 4:8.

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” Isaiah 32:17

Further Scriptural Reading: Romans 12:1-20.

SUMMARY:

This message is a teaching charge on the relationship between CHARISMA, CHARACTER, and SPIRITUAL FRUIT. It establishes that while charisma opens doors, only character sustains you in grace.

DEFINITION AND POWER OF CHARISMA

CHARISMA is the ability to attract, charm, and influence people around you for a given cause — Plans, Purposes and Pursuits.

It has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS that inspires devotion, and A DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to become what you are called to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.

CHARISMA is good and great. It takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operation. It helps to evolve your uniqueness from others.

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be peace; and the EFFECT of righteousness quietness and assurance forever” Isaiah 32:17

THE SUSTAINER: CHARACTER AS SPIRITUAL FRUIT

It must be noted: the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it.

Without character, charisma becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATION in every respect.

CHARACTER — THE RESILIENT TEMPER — is the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged, apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. The strength of character distinguishes you mentally and morally.

For the BELIEVER in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT — a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS combined with TALENTS — is sustained in grace and in life by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5

THE FRUIT THAT FORMS CHARACTER

This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that upholds the integrity and etiquette of your charisma includes, but is not limited to:

Galatians 5:22-23: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance
2 Peter 1:5-11: Faith, Virtue, Knowledge, Temperance, Patience, Godliness, Brotherly Kindness, Charity
Philippians 4:8: Things that are True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, of Good Report, Virtue, Praise
Romans 12:9-21 and others: Patience, Brotherly Kindness, Godliness, Honesty, Purity, faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God

“For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:5-8

THE PRINCIPLE: FRUIT ABOUNDING = SUSTAINED CHARISMA

If these things — SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) — abound more and more, one will be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA and placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to anyone, just as Jesus did in humanity 1 Peter 2:21-25.

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness.

Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER.

CHARISMA may take you UP, but only CHARACTER keeps you THERE.

Your CHARACTER — is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING

The Fruit of the Spirit produces a life that is above reproach Galatians 5:22-23
Diligence in adding virtue ensures you are not barren or unfruitful 2 Peter 1:5-11
Think on these things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely Philippians 4:8
Righteousness produces peace, quietness and assurance Isaiah 32:17

CALL TO ACTION

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY by intentionally cultivating the FRUIT of the Spirit daily.
Examine your charisma through the lens of character. Is it Spirit-led or self-made?
Abound in spiritual fruit. Give all diligence to add virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity.
Guard your endowment. Don’t let gifts operate without the fruit to back them. Character must lead to charisma.
Further Study: Romans 12:1-20 — Present your body a living sacrifice and be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

FINAL WORD:
God gave you charisma to influence, but He gave you the Holy Spirit to produce fruit that will sustain that influence. Let your life be beautiful, not just attractive.

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES WITH A RESOLVE

May 3, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES WITH A RESOLVE: TIME, EFFORTS [MENTAL/PHYSICAL EXERTION], FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] AND PEOPLE!

Are you keen to live in the realm of a More Than CONQUERORS? Also keen To SUCCEED? Keen To EXCEL and Be ABOVE ONLY? Keen To THRIVE Instead of SURVIVE? Here is the WISDOM NUGGET guide for your today and tomorrow.

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

I want you to know that a colourful and thriving life is a place of graciousness, gracefulness and loveliness; however, it’s not a giveaway otherwise the beggar [slothful and sluggard] will ride with ease, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard [slothful] and idlers. It is for the RESOLVE to succeed, excel and to be above only, with a PRAGMATIC and INTENTIONAL plan, purpose and pursuit, and to BECOME in the grace, in order to attain to the fulness of God’s testament for them; for whatever had no process is an act of fraud, hence there’s the need to MAXIMISE your God-given basic RESOURCES to do life and live godly in the grace, and these are – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and PEOPLE; and experiencing the colourful and thriving life in the grace is possible as you earnestly and meaningfully endeavour to endorse, ensure and be assured of your set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in the grace – for that’s to enable you to create, innovate, initiate and explore the resource of grace within you effortlessly and unhindered; also, with the enabling leverage toward an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28-30].

The knowing that ‘YOU ARE OF GOD’, “BELOVED OF GOD” and “BELOVED BY GOD” makes you readily and steadily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a more than conquerors that’s living victoriously, in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, and more so, the knowing that the GREATER ONE lives within you. [1 John 4:4-16].

Therefore, it’s imperative to let your TIME, EFFORT, FINANCIAL, MATERIAL, and PEOPLE resources count and account for your good. For “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT”, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilise one’s given resources: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE. This also means you can become what you want to be if you walk/work in wisdom with your God-given resource in your day-to-day PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

It is on this platform that one can also become A MORE THAN CONQUEROR, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL which some like to ascertain for self-pity, I guess.

I pray you abound BLESSED. Be EMPOWERED to SUCCEED as a MORE THAN CONQUEROR in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE BELOVED and MORE THAN – Don’t Live For Less In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven . . .11 He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11/Amplified.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED”. Romans 8:28-30.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, THAN he that is in the world. 5. They ARE of the world: therefore, speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“Whoso KEEPETH the COMMANDMENT shall FEEL NO EVIL THING: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5.

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the ANSWER of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the WAYS of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord WEIGHETH the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him. 9. A man’s heart DEVISETH his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9.

“The horse is PREPARED against the DAY OF BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

March 8, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for any especially for the born-again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead.

It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.

In life, most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable because of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as I hereby state:

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity”

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.

The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural contexts:

CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION

IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION: BE LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL YOU DO!

“. . . 14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-16.

We live in an enviable smart generation; it’s a gracious and graceful place to be; and to triumphantly live and thrive meaningfully and purposefully, one needs to be watchful and connected; and to be connected to the one who is able to HELP us to stay ABOVE ONLY in the midst of all the NOISE around it – and that person to help us is the BLESSED Holy Spirit. And by being LED of the Holy Spirit in ALL you do, you can both please the Father God and live faithfully on His merit on earth in this seamless, smart and digitised generation.

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should PRAY for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And He that SEARCHETH the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:26-27.

Don’t Be Deceived by any nor be mistaken by self-errors, it’s time for you to exercise yourself into the realm of VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS by engaging yourself with the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL TRUTH called the HOLY BIBLE. You need to – READ and STUDY and SEARCH the SCRIPTURES for self-discovery that will give and lead you into self-recovery in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. If I may ask you today, HOW MUCH ARE YOU READING and STUDYING and SEARCHING THE WORD in context and comparison to your WATCHING AND VIEWING photos and videos on Social media platform and such like.

Today, we are carried away with image photos and videos, which most times may be photoshopped, disfigured, distorted, dotted, adulterated and twisted as the creators of such, while many buy into them, analysed them and transmit them on baseless information to vulnerable hearts. You need to be very careful, vigilant and swiftly alert these days; and much more, be LED of the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God if you want the best and FULNESS of our God in this challenging but enviable generation.

” Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be ALERT, VIGILANT and CAUTIOUS at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, PROWLS around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking SOMEONE to devour. 9 But RESIST him, be firm and steadfast in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. 11 To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11/Amplified.

It’s through the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD that’s BREATHED by the Holy Spirit that we can do life and live godly with this TIMED GENERATION despite all the awesome happenings in it.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY

July 25, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

I just want to remind you now and for your tomorrow, hoping that you might have known or and probably be informing you for first time to know that every born-again believing child of God in Christ Jesus, is a battlefield; and in a battlefield knowingly and unknowingly. And there’s the need to daily sharpen your instrument [weaponry] and keep it readily ready to engage in any battles in the now or tomorrow. Because the enemy and cohorts we are engaged with is roaring and roaming around looking for whom to devour. 1 Peter 5:8-11. Therefore, there’s the need to get yourself and spiritual weaponry ready 24/7 as you do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It’s time as an unparalleled army of God in Christ Jesus, to exercise the KNOW-HOW to be THE COMBATANT and MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER with the ARMOURING for warfare – and THE ANTIDOTE to deal with the ENEMY and COHORTS WILES and ASSAULT.

“Through God we shall do VALIANTLY [VICTORIOUSLY]: for He it is that shall TREAD [TRAMPLED] DOWN our ENEMIES” Psalms 60:12/Emphasis Mine.

It may not surprise you on how much forecast are made yearly in budgetary investment, that showcased for military might by some nations. Their intent is to ensure that both their OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE operations and mechanism along with the training of their combatant military forces are ready and safely set at the top of the range for combating. This they do as a measure to stand out among other nations and to ensure the measure of warning signs on their national neighbourhoods and competitors on how prepared they are in any battle that may arise – be it on land, air and sea and such like.

Today, lots of nations are investing heavily to fight cyberspace wars against many factors in the sphere and while others are on terrorisms of various sphere. This is to tell you that the ENEMY and COHORTS are are at war naturally as you can hear or look or see or read about of various places and some are near you or you are a part of the national wars and warfare; while some are undergoing some threatening and others are at an international war investment in various continents of the world. In each case WEAPONRY is involved with personal answering to their commandants and head of state as commissioned.

DESPITE all the huge investments in these natural nations, lives are lost, weaponry weapons are destroyed while some goes obsolete in order to give room to new innovations in technology. These natural wars and warfare are at vast difference from the wars and warfare which the unparalleled armies of God in Christ Jesus is engaged with; and are equally located and stationed in every territory of the world beyond the limits and boundaries of nations and national limitations.

As in the humanly made army described above that are limited in nature in comparison to the divinely arranged spiritual army, as ascribed as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God in Christ Jesus – the weaponry weapons in use for warfare are not carnal – meaning are not man made or humanly crafted. The weaponry weapons in use by the UNPARALLELED ARMY are not external as in the world; and are spiritual made as an OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour for spiritual warfare. For our warfare are spiritual and not fought or battled in the flesh (physical) though it has physical effect, hence our armour is expected to be PUT ON 24/7 by God’s unparalleled army in order to be always readily ready to triumph in Christ Jesus stead in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14. This is also explained in full as enjoined in the epistle scripture of Ephesians 6:10-18, as instructed by Apostle Paul to the Church of Ephesus. It’s by PUTTING ON this OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour that we can be able to stand AGAINST the enemy and cohorts in every phase of warfare in our walk of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It must be noted that the armouring for our warfare to battle against the WILES of the enemy and cohorts’ mode of operandi – at every and all their forms of manifestations, against our FAITH in Christ Jesus – are readily available for our disposal and utilisation. Our place in Christ is to EXERCISE the rights and privileges in the FAITH upon which we stand in Christ Jesus in order to enact, authenticate and put the weapons and armouring into use to ensure and assure the essence and purpose for which it’s been given to us all – as the REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus stead.

For when our grandstanding PURPOSE are not exercised or utilised, and misused, the enemies rule and reign – hence there are many REDEEMED today that are still struggling in their walk and work with God, for not their inability to EXERCISE or be EXERCISING the SURELY and ASSURED weaponry weapon to bring ALL the works of the enemy and cohorts down as Jesus and the early Disciples – called Apostles did exercise ahead of time before us all in Christ Jesus stead.For we are enjoined in this scripture to:

Herein are some major spiritual weaponries or armouring to be exercised to put to use in order – to authenticate and enact and realise our VICTORY in ALL battles and warfare:

a. EXERCISING the spirit of being always on your UNIFORM – SPIRITUAL ARMOURING and WEAPONRY – Ephesians 6:10-18.
b. EXERCISING the WORD of FAITH (Knowledge and understanding of the WORD and Faith declaration or Confession of the WORD accordingly) – Mark 11:22-23; Luke 4:1-3; Luke 4:1-13 (Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 91:11-12); Revelation 12:11; Matthew 8:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 5:8-9; John 6:63; Hebrews 10:23; Proverbs 6:2; Romans 10:8-10.
c. EXERCISING the NAME of JESUS – Luke 10:17; Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 4:12; Acts 3:6-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:16-20; John 14:12-17.
d. EXERCISING the BLOOD of JESUS – Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 9:12; Colossians 1:14: Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6.
e. EXERCISING the Power of PRAISE and WORSHIP – Psalms 149; Psalms 150; Psalms 8:2; 2 Chronicles 20:20-25, Joshua 6:1-21.
f. EXERCISING the PLACE of PRAYERS and FASTING – Acts 4:23-31; Acts 6:4; Mark 1:35; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 17:13-21/Mark 9:14-29; Luke 18:1-8; James 5:13-16; Mark 6:12-13. Matthew 6:5-18.
g. EXERCISING the Leadership of the Holy Spirit – Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 3:8; John 16:13-15; Romans 8: 11-16, 26-27; Jude 1:20; Ephesians 6:18.

And there are three strategic WILES and MODE of OPERANDI that are scriptural known in use by satanic and cohorts against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and for each we are fully informed with the Scriptural ANTIDOTE that can and will always COMBAT the enemy and cohort wiles as we are enjoined to:

“PUT ON THE WHOLE Armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL” Ephesians 6:11.

Herein are the ENEMY and COHORTS wiles and mode of Operandi and our instructed antidote to note about them and the how to deal with their craft and cunning tactics accordingly:

AS A ROARING LION – 1 Peter 5:8.
ANTIDOTE: 1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7
AS A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING – Matthew 7:15.
ANTIDOTE: Matthew 7:16, 20.
AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT – 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.
ANTIDOTE: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

Suffice to know full well that overtime, one thing is certain and it’s worth noting that – Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died – yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force that’s universally located and stationed – and known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and all these in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit through His UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould

The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in every way of the challenges that are emanating today and any day in future, because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM; and thus endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS, irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way as we see daily in all the multimedia channels and events near you.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and without, at WAR with the enemy and cohorts that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; at WAR with spiritual forces and principalities and powers in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

And because we ARE at war and warfare entails, it takes a spirited combatant Militant-Like Soldier’s stand to combat to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial and representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be courtmartialed and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statuesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

Be assured that our weaponry weapon is sure, assured to bring all things under God’s control. For in in Christ Jesus all things and flesh – animate and inanimate are subdued and SUBJECTED to the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army. (John 17:2; John 13:3; Philippians 3:20-21; Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 10:17-20).

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER: THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead!

The Church of God as an UNPARALLELED ARMY is a Militant-like Soldier who is daily at WAR in every aspect of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual WARFARE. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily ready to get engaged whenever and wherever in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to the individual lives, families, communities, nations and more.

AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH THAT’S GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN NATURE IN CHRIST JESUS, BUILT-UP TO WIN AND TRIUMPH DAILY AS SET AND ASSURED.

The Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, though engage in constant MILITANT-LIKE spiritual warfare, is also a TRIUMPHANT Church. Each warfare and battle defines, refines, refreshes, energizes, rejuvenates, refires and renews the Church; hence the Church is GLORIOUS in all, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic cohorts effort to fake, duplicate, pervert and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim and prey rather than a victor. You are a WINNER in Christ Jesus stead any day and anyway in everywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with the battles within and without. Ephesians 6:10-20.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and at WAR with the ENEMY and COHORTS that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and at WAR with spiritual forces and PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; and at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Ephesians 6:10-20; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Philippians 3:18-19; 1 Peter 5:8-10; Acts 8:9-25].

And this WAR and WARFARE is about our FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ. Hence Apostle Paul says we should FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, indicating some fights are uncalled-for, not good fights, not fights worth engaging in and we should be aliens to them by every means. Suffice to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS are not necessarily after your physical possession and well being in their engagement of WAR and WARFARE against you. They are actually using the things you consider they ARE after as a distraction from the real deal. Their main target is your FAITH. To make you GIVE UP on your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus. Knowing that, as long as your steadfastness in God in Christ Jesus is steadily steady, you can ALWAYS recover all losses by the winning and victorious FAITH as Job deed [1 John 5:3-5]. For Job recovered the MORE by taking the stand that the REDEEMER lives in spite of all he went through with satan and cohorts, friends and wife against his stand in God – Job 19:25; Job 42:10-17.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

And because we ARE at war and warfare, it takes a spirited Militant-Like Soldier stand to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in the earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be court-martial and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statuesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. [2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6].

Herein are some lessons to keep in mind as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to avoid the setbacks, set ups and create a safety and security net that’s WORTH doing to win in life and grace.

To begin with, WHAT IS A CHURCH? A Church is the you (an individual), the local and the universal body of born again (of God) Believer’s on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus, filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, having (under) a Shepherd.

The reason why this CHURCH definition is important in the context of the scriptures is because there are many loose and loosely individuals and locals Believers out there who belongs to no Shepherd or rather not under any Shepherd for reckoning, as such are uncountable to any under God as the Scripture has enjoined – [Hebrews 13:16-17]. Such Believers are vulnerable or positioned in a vulnerable state knowingly and or unknowingly – which is a state of ignorance, foolishness and arrogance and stupidity due to some zealousness without knowledge and understanding in context and perception.

For a while, my younger children have been watching a Netflix documentary program called OUR PLANET. In the course of them watching the program for the few occasions of sitting down around with the children, I was curious about how the Cat family – especially the Lion and Leopard can easily target up their prey in order to feed and make a meal off them. Most of the time, I discovered they are always looking out to target a stand alone prey from the herd. And once identified, in their chase they can corner out that vulnerable stand alone, and their day meal is is set and made readily ready.

And it gives me a picture on how the ENEMY and COHORTS go about looking for that vulnerable stand alone Believer in Christ Jesus – who are not keen to have a covering Shepherd over their head. They roam about as spiritual harlots accountable to no one and none can account on their behalf – Hebrews 13:16-17. These Believers that belong to no fellowship or Local assembly or attend any gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people are exposed as lone soldier for the enemy and cohorts to PREY upon at challenging and difficult times.

DON’T BE A LONE MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER BELIEVER AND MINISTER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST GOSPEL MINISTRY.

When you think because you can read the Bible and pray to Father God in Christ Jesus, speak in tongues of the Holy Spirit, makes you not to see the need to have interaction and communication and fellowship with other Believers of same like father – you are knowingly setting yourself as lone soldier. I have seen people who are more in bond and bound to their set denomination and doctrine and sectarians settings that when they come to a new dwelling places and can’t find the same kind of local assembly they came from, they are not going to worship and serve God wholeheartedly in any new places of gathering for worship.

And some immediately will either form their own gathering assembly as if that’s the only mark to worship and serve God worthily and acceptably and make heaven. And unfortunately, some Ministers are not in any way out of this hook, because they have so much indoctrinated people with denominational spirit than with the Gospel of the body ministry of Christ Jesus, as such wants their members to use the opportunity to open up an extension of their denomination branch setting and immediately make such people Pastors overnight, even the individuals knows there’s no call of God upon their life for such spiritual placement and position – hence today there’s all manners of confusion and schisms and perversion and adulteration in the body ministry of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. And it’s of such like that Apostle Paul warns Timothy not to suddenly lay hands on any man for a spiritual high office to safeguard the body ministry – 1 Timothy 5:22.

In my watching over the xnatural national militant soldiers and interacting with few to hear their respective storyline, one thing I have learnt and can conclude from them is that they never fight alone without a team spirit and set back ups so that when there’s an injury from the enemies and cohorts side, there’s an immediate response to take their own out of the battle side whether dead or alive to preserve the honour and dignity and integrity to SERVE as soldier.

Unfortunately, in Church life over the years, especially where ignorance, stupidity and foolishness and schism exist, I have seen from grandstand where fellow UNPARALLELED ARMY are abandoned and left for the enemy and cohorts to have a full feed day upon in the name of punishment or sectarian reasons. Yet, the commandant of the UNPARALLELED ARMY, our Lord Jesus won’t abandon and let His own be devoured but will take them along as good, chief and great shepherd of the sheep to nurse His own and strengthen them so that they can recover speedily and live to fight another day as David will do against the Lion and the Bear that came along his way with his father’s sheep he was shepherding – and he was able to keep the sheep safe, secure and protected as the scriptures recorded – 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

You ARE a MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER. You ARE THE UNPARALLELED ARMY. You ARE the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead. Be wise to take your place and PUT OFF the civilian uniform and PUT ON the armour of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Colossians 3:9-15; Ephesians 6:10-18.

BLESSED REGARDS IN THIS READ IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS. AMEN.
