THE DANGER OF SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE

August 21, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE DANGER OF SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE: IT LEADS ONE TO ERRORS, TO BECOME MISTAKEN AND TO BE ELUDED FROM THE POWER OF GOD!

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION [GATHERING] of the DEAD [UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD]” Proverbs 21:16.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but THE WAY of TRANSGRESSORS [DISOBEDIENT, ARROGANT] is HARD [DIFFICULT, FRUSTRATING, CHALLENGING]” Proverbs 13:15.

Our Father God does not condone ignorance, which is the breeding ground of stupidity, foolishness and arrogance – especially in the midst of every opportunity to acquire and gain the knowledge needed to answer your earnest quest in life and godliness. Wisdom to do life and to become in the grace comes through knowledge and understanding. Playing the game of ignorance takes no one anywhere with God. God “WINKED” at ignorance and at ignorant people in times past, especially when there were no opportunities. But now, with every opportunity and possibility and signs pointing to wisdom – He expects you to ask, to know, and to enquire for the understanding that will enable you to excel in life and in grace.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at [OVERLOOKED]; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT [CHANGE]: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given ASSURANCE unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, did not increase in wisdom, stature and in favour with Father God and man by a mere wish. But in the early time of His humanity, He took time to sit, to know and to understand – by being in places to ask questions and get answers, in order to be in understanding, so that He could fulfil purpose meaningfully in Father God’s BUSINESS [ASSIGNMENT] concerning Him. And why can’t you too seek after knowing and understanding in the matters that concern life and godliness, in order to ensure a solid content in the grace? So, get out of the erroneous and mistaken path of ignorance, and get into the path of knowledge and understanding in context, in order to be fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in the grace wherein you are called and, in the content thereof.

“And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, SITTING in the midst of the DOCTORS [TEACHERS], both HEARING them, and ASKING them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and answers. . .. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my FATHER’S BUSINESS? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2: 46-52.

“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” Romans 8:28/[Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].

Avoid ignorance by every means. It is dangerous, and the side effects and consequences are unimaginable. Ensure that in every subject you endeavour to know and to understand but the context and, where possible, the contents. This is in order to avoid an erroneous position, being mistaken and misconstrued, and being cut off from the power of God – meaning, the enabling of God’s grace for that context to be made known and manifest for your good and BLESSEDNESS.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

Ignorance hurts and hunts. It makes one stupid and foolish. It frustrates one’s efforts. It keeps one away from the good of God – for God once winked at ignorance. Ignorance subjugates. It enslaves. It captivates. It is destructive. The side effects are innumerable and unimaginable, and never to be wished upon anyone. Therefore, do not even imagine it, nor allow it to play around you and within your domain at any given moment. PURSUE and ENSURE knowledge and understanding always, in order to stay safe.

“A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH STRENGTH” Proverbs 24:5.

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

For God is a FAITHFUL and rewarding Father, who cherishes achieving and accomplishing anything through process – which is the consequence of knowledge and understanding. For wisdom to succeed in excellence is the application of knowledge, unlike ignorance whose effect is to make the slothful [a sluggard] and unproductive. For whatever has no process of accomplishments is a fraud and a scam in both context and content. God wants you to be a follower of Him and of those who do life and godliness through knowledge and understanding of the scriptural context, in order to ensure an assured content.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

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

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

IT PAYS TO PATIENTLY STRIVE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING RATHER THAN TO REMAIN IN IGNORANCE – WITH ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STUPIDITY AND FOOLISHNESS, SLOTHFULNESS AND SLUGGISHNESS THAT IT BRINGS – UNPRODUCTIVE IN BOTH CONTEXT AND CONTENT.

IGNORANCE is not just bad; it is a DIS-EASE [UN-EASE] -a place and position worse than any cancerous disease. For by IGNORANCE, many talents, visions and dreams that would have enhanced life and godly living, and uplifted and placed people and persons on an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, have ended up in the GRAVEYARDS – unfulfilled, unsung, unproductive, unwritten, unaccomplished and such like.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK [REFLECT]!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS [DIFFICULT, TASKMASTER, BURDENSOME, IRKSOME]” 1 John 5:3 Emphasis Mine.

“And now, BRETHREN, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED [UNIQUELY SET APART]” Acts 20:32.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast FORGOTTEN the law of thy God, I will also FORGET thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore HELL hath ENLARGED herself, and OPENED her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be EXALTED in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.

SUMMARY

The message is a prophetic charge entitled: THE DANGER OF SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE.
It warns that ignorance is not neutral — it is destructive, and it cuts people off from the power of God, purpose, and destiny. The only way out is deliberate pursuit of KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING through God’s Word and godly process.

KEY POINTS

THE DANGER AND EFFECTS OF IGNORANCE

Scriptural ignorance leads to error. “Ye do ERR, NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” — Matthew 22:29; Mark 12:24

Ignorance hurts, hunts, frustrates, subjugates, enslaves, and destroys. Its side effects are innumerable and unimaginable.

Proverbs 21:16: “The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD.” — Unproductive, taskmaster, obscure, slothful.

By ignorance, talents, visions and dreams that should enhance life and godliness end up in the GRAVEYARDS — unfulfilled, unsung, unproductive, unwritten, unaccomplished.

Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13: “MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE… GONE INTO CAPTIVITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE.”

Ignorance is a DIS-EASE [UN-EASE] — a place and position worse than any cancerous disease.

GOD’S POSITION ON IGNORANCE

Acts 17:30-31: God “WINKED” at ignorance in times past when light was limited. But now He COMMANDETH all men everywhere to REPENT and to CHANGE.

Our Father God does not condone ignorance. It is the breeding ground of stupidity, foolishness and arrogance — especially now with every opportunity to acquire knowledge.

God is FAITHFUL and a REWARDER of those who diligently seek Him — Hebrews 11:6. He cherishes process, which is the product of knowledge and understanding.

THE PATTERN OF CHRIST: LEARNING THROUGH PROCESS

Jesus did not increase by a wish. Luke 2:46-52: In His early humanity He SAT, HEARD, ASKED QUESTIONS in the temple.

Result: “Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man.”

He was about His FATHER’S BUSINESS. Understanding positioned Him for purpose.

Application: If Christ took time to sit and learn, we must too.

KNOWLEDGE + UNDERSTANDING = WISDOM + FAVOUR + STRENGTH

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

Proverbs 24:5: “A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH STRENGTH.”

Proverbs 13:15: “GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but THE WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD.”

Knowledge applied = wisdom. Wisdom applied = excellence.

Whatever has no process of accomplishment is fraud and scam in both context and content.

THE WORD OFGODIS THE BUILDER

Acts 20:32: “THE WORD of his grace… is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE.”

Jeremiah 3:15: God gives pastors after His heart to feed you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING.

Hebrews 6:10-12: Be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

CALL TO ACTION

REPENT FROM IGNORANCE: Acts 17:30. Stop tolerating what God no longer overlooks. Choose to change.
PURSUE KNOWLEDGE DILIGENTLY: Proverbs 4:7. Sit like Jesus sat. Hear. Ask questions. Study the Scriptures. Enquire for understanding in every matter of life and godliness.
EMBRACE PROCESS: Do not take shortcuts. God rewards process. Process produces stability, excellence, and assurance.
GUARD YOUR DOMAIN: Do not allow ignorance to play around you. Avoid erroneous positions, being mistaken, and being cut off from the enabling of God’s grace.
SELAH — PAUSE AND REFLECT: Examine your life, calling, marriage, career, ministry. Are you growing in knowledge and understanding or are you stagnant?
STAY IN THE WORD: 1 John 5:3 — “His commandments are NOT GRIEVOUS.” The Word builds you and gives you inheritance among the sanctified.

Final Truth: IT PAYS TO PATIENTLY STRIVE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. Ignorance buries destiny. Knowledge births excellence, favour, and blessedness.

THE KINGDOM GOSPEL

August 18, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KINGDOM GOSPEL: GIVES SALVATION UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is THE POWER of God UNTO SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith“ Romans 1:16-17.

The Gospel of Christ Jesus — it is the POWER of God that brings about the SALVATION of all mankind for today and tomorrow. How relevant it is today, more than ever before, in the midst of the turbulence, confusion, distrust, breakdown, hunger, chaos, wars, pandemic and such like, that have ravaged our world today.

And SALVATION in this context is not necessarily only about being born of God into His Kingdom; but it is also about matters of life and godly living in humanity, and covers but is not limited to the following: PEACE, SOUND MIND, HEALTH, PROSPERITY, HEALING, SECURITY, SAFETY, DELIVERANCE, RESTORATION, STRENGTH, LIVELIHOOD, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP and Such like and MORE.

So, the preaching of the GOSPEL is the preaching of THE WORD of God, which is the preaching of Christ Jesus, who is THE WORD, the GOOD NEWS of human redemption. The good news is that man’s debt and eternal judgement are averted because Christ Jesus has paid for them by the sacrifice He made to take on human condemnation — which is the consequence of sin — so that man can be JUSTIFIED before God instead of facing the judgement of condemnation; and thereafter man can then live in FREEDOM from sin and its effects, in an onward and upward trajectory toward God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, AND UNTO THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH” Acts 1:8.

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city” Acts 8:1-8.

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

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

“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.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1-2 Amplified.

“If the Son therefore shall make you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

SUMMARY:
This message is a proclamation that THE KINGDOM GOSPEL is THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION — for today, for tomorrow, and UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

It declares that the Gospel is not just about going to heaven, but about God’s power to bring PEACE, HEALING, DELIVERANCE and godly living to humanity right now, in the midst of a world that is turbulent and broken.

KEY POINTS:

THE CORE FOUNDATION: THE GOSPEL = THE POWER OF GOD FOR SALVATION
The Gospel is not to be ashamed of because it carries God’s power.
Romans 1:16-17 — “For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is THE POWER of God UNTO SALVATION to every one that believeth… For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith”
In this season of chaos, wars, hunger and pandemic, the Gospel remains the most relevant answer.

THREE TRUTHS ABOUT KINGDOM SALVATION
A. SALVATION IS BROADER THAN NEW BIRTH
Salvation includes being born into God’s Kingdom, but it also covers life and godly living. It addresses: PEACE, SOUND MIND, HEALTH, PROSPERITY, HEALING, SECURITY, SAFETY, DELIVERANCE, RESTORATION, STRENGTH, LIVELIHOOD, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP and MORE.
Application: The Gospel meets man in every area of life, not just eternity.

B. THE GOSPEL IS CHRIST — THE WORD
To preach the Gospel is to preach THE WORD of God.
Acts 8:4-5 — “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them”

C. THE GOSPEL DEALS WITH SIN, CONDEMNATION AND FREEDOM
Man’s debt is paid and judgement is averted because Christ took our condemnation.
2 Corinthians 5:21 — “For he hath made him to BE SIN FOR US, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him”
Romans 8:1-2 — “There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus… For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death”
Galatians 5:1 — “It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm”
John 8:36 — “If the Son therefore shall make you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed”
Result: We are JUSTIFIED, we have PEACE with God, and we walk in FREEDOM and in an onward and upward trajectory toward God.

AN IMPORTANT MANDATE: PREACH IT TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
This is a Kingdom Gospel, not a local message.
Matthew 24:14 — “And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end come”
Acts 1:8 — “ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me… AND UNTO THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH”
Romans 15:20-21 — “so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named… To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see”
Where the Gospel is preached, there is proof: healing, deliverance, and great joy — Acts 8:6-8.

A WORD TO THE PREACHER AND THE HEARER
To the preacher:Don’t be ashamed. Preach Christ. The power is in the Gospel.
To the hearer: Receive salvation that covers your whole life. Come into the freedom Christ has paid for. You are no longer under condemnation.

IN ONE SENTENCE:

The KINGDOM GOSPEL is the POWER OF GOD for SALVATION to the ends of the earth — it justifies us, frees us, heals us, and qualifies us as AMBASSADORS to preach Christ until every nation has heard.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS DID

August 7, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS DID, AND SO DID THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES AND FELLOW BELIEVERS!

“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 . . .” Romans 8:28-30.

The power of God is the enabling of God to accomplish His PURPOSE in your life.
Hence, a PURPOSELESS lifestyle cannot receive God’s POWER to enable the actualisation of the set-out divine PURPOSE of God — in the individual — both for life and godliness, in Christ Jesus.

“. . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will . . .” Ephesians 1:3-12.

Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, lived for God’s given CAUSE and PURPOSE in humanity to accomplish God’s intent for humanity. And for that PURPOSE to be accomplished He was not only ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit, He was also EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit to fulfil that PURPOSE under God. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Luke 4:1-2, 14.

This indicates that Christ Jesus, in humanity, in order to fulfil God’s PURPOSE and to bear WITNESS of the Gospel truth, could only have accomplished it all by the given POWER of God for that purpose. John 18:37; John 5:31-33, 36-37; John 8:18; John 10:25.

Just know today, for sure and assuredly, that God’s POWER is not GIVEN for NOTHING. It is for the PURPOSE of being a WITNESS of God to humanity in every capacity of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. These areas include, but are not limited to marriage, family, ministry, career, business, enterprise, relationships, leadership and such like.

In all, it is about being God’s representative and ambassador with the message of reconciliation to humanity through every avenue of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. Acts 1:8; Matthew 24:14; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Ephesians 6:20.

The disciples of Jesus Christ who became Apostles lived to bear WITNESS of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, by the enabling POWER of God in His grace that was bestowed upon them. Long before Christ Jesus had finished His earthly cause and purpose, He informed and assured them — and us today — of the promised POWER of God towards them and us today, which gives the enabling to fulfil God’s PURPOSE in humanity for all who come to Him. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 4:33.

In summary, one can say that the essence of God’s POWER in an individual Christian is to fulfil God’s PURPOSE in the individual, in order to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:28-30.

Hence, if you seek, or are seeking after God’s enabling POWER in your life, ensure you have first resolved God’s PURPOSE for your life. Otherwise you will receive NOTHING from God, but the counterfeit, adulteration and falsehood — just as many who have been BEWITCHED into SORCERIES, like Simon of Acts 8:9-24, who went about claiming to be attributed with the great POWER of God, in self-denial and self-deception to himself and his followers.

I hereby enjoin you to — AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER IN CHRIST JESUS, as Jesus Christ DID experience in humanity, and as THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES and FELLOW BELIEVERS in Christ Jesus DID experience. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY GHOST and with POWER: who went about doing good, and HEALING all that were OPPRESSED of the devil; for God was WITH him” Acts 10:38.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. . . 14 And Jesus RETURNED IN THE POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . . 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath ANOINTED me to preach the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord . . .” Luke 4:1-22.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37 (John 5:31-33, 36-37; John 8:18; John 10:25).

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

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

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 and ye also shall bear WITNESS, because ye have been with me from the beginning” John 15:26-27.

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I THEE: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” Acts 3:6.

“And with great POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to bear WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear WITNESS of that Light . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me” John 1:6-8, 15.

“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.

SUMMARY:
The title of this message is “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” — just as Jesus DID, and as THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES and FELLOW BELIEVERS DID.
This message links God’s POWER directly to God’s PURPOSE. Without PURPOSE, there can be no authentic POWER.

KEY POINTS:

GOD’S POWER IS PURPOSE-DRIVEN

The power of God is the enabling of God to accomplish His PURPOSE in your life.

A PURPOSELESS lifestyle cannot receive God’s POWER to actualise the set-out divine PURPOSE of God — for life and godliness, in Christ Jesus.

“…11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will…” Ephesians 1:3-12

“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…” Romans 8:28-30

CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PATTERN

Jesus Christ lived for God’s given CAUSE and PURPOSE in humanity.

He was not only ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit, He was also EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit to fulfil that PURPOSE under God. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Luke 4:1-2, 14

He could only bear WITNESS of the Gospel truth by the given POWER of God for that purpose. John 18:37; John 5:31-33, 36-37; John 8:18; John 10:25

“How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY GHOST and with POWER: who went about doing good, and HEALING all that were OPPRESSED of the devil; for God was WITH him” Acts 10:38

“And Jesus RETURNED IN THE POWER of the Spirit into Galilee… The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath ANOINTED me to preach the GOSPEL…” Luke 4:1-22

“To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth” John 18:37

THE PURPOSE OF GOD’S POWER: TO BE A WITNESS

God’s POWER is not GIVEN for NOTHING. It is for the PURPOSE of being a WITNESS of God to humanity in every area of life: marriage, family, ministry, career, business, enterprise, relationships, leadership and such like.

It is about being God’s representative and ambassador with the message of reconciliation. Acts 1:8; Matthew 24:14; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Ephesians 6:20

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me…” Acts 1:8

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations…” Matthew 24:14

“…he shall testify of me: and ye also shall bear WITNESS…” John 15:26-27

THE APOSTLES’ EXPERIENCE

The disciples who became Apostles lived to bear WITNESS by the enabling POWER of God in His grace.

Christ assured them of the promised POWER before He finished His earthly work. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 4:33

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49

“And with great POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I THEE: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” Acts 3:6

THE DANGER OF POWER WITHOUT PURPOSE

The essence of God’s POWER in a Christian is to fulfil God’s PURPOSE in the individual, to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:28-30

If you seek God’s enabling POWER without first resolving God’s PURPOSE, you will receive NOTHING from God but counterfeit, adulteration and falsehood.

Example: Simon of Acts 8:9-24, who claimed the great POWER of God in self-denial and self-deception.

FINAL ENJOINMENT

I hereby enjoin you to — AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER IN CHRIST JESUS, as Jesus Christ DID experience in humanity, and as THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES and FELLOW BELIEVERS in Christ Jesus DID experience. Amen.

IN ONE SENTENCE

God’s enabling POWER is given solely to fulfil His PURPOSE through you as His WITNESS, and to walk in that power you must first align with His PURPOSE, following the pattern of Christ and the early Apostles who lived, ministered and witnessed by the Holy Spirit.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: CHRIST JESUS IS THE POWER OF GOD AND THE WISDOM OF GOD!

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR, because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“. . . 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

WHEN PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THE GENUINE POWER OF GOD THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD, THEY GIVE IN TO SORCERIES AND BEWITCHING.

And over the years many have found themselves in such bondages, just as the Scriptures say in Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:13-15: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge.”

And I know exactly what it all means.

It was for this lack of knowledge that a whole city in Samaria in Bible days was held in captivity and BEWITCHED WITH SORCERIES, because a man called Simon, and not Christ Jesus, was regarded as “the great POWER of God” Acts 8:9-10.
And the multitude became victims and prey to these outrageous acts of SORCERIES AND BEWITCHING by a man who held them as PREY and IN CAPTIVITY for a very, very long time.

Take a look today and picture how many have taken a similar position in the lives of supposed believers, by the accord they give to fallible men, as though they possess the great POWER OF GOD more than Christ Jesus, in the fullness of the activities being carried out concerning them.

And unfortunately, like Simon, these fallible men allow this applause for what they are not to happen, and to keep happening, because they know that the people are BEWITCHED by their acts of SORCERIES, knowingly and unknowingly.

It was for this act and pattern of attributing the POWER OF GOD that is of Christ Jesus to men, that caused God to let King Herod be eaten up by worms when he allowed himself to be consumed by the applause of men Acts 12:20-24.

That same decisive act of God also happened to Simon in Acts 8:18-24, with a sharp and heavy-handed rebuke, for attempting to buy the Holy Spirit with money in order to maintain his status.
That rebuke was needful then, and it is even more needful today, so that the genuine POWER and WORD of God which is of Christ Jesus may multiply in the hearts of men, rather than the falsehood of these fallible men who are BEWITCHING the creation of God with SORCERIES, just as Simon of Samaria did.

THEREFORE, THINK AND PONDER TODAY:

If you are one of those attributing the POWER OF GOD which is of Christ Jesus to a man, thereby leading people into error.

If you are one of the men like Simon and King Herod, receiving the accord of the POWER OF GOD which is of Christ Jesus as though it were yours, in order to maintain and sustain the status of your pride and arrogance, by bewitching the people with acts, practices and schemes that are unknown to your followers.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . . 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall LIVE by faith” Romans 1:16-17

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR, NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR, because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“. . . 9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used SORCERY, and BEWITCHED the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the GREAT POWER of God. 11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had BEWITCHED them with SORCERIES. 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself BELIEVED also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done . . .” Acts 8:1-24.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no POWER but of God: the POWERS that be are ORDAINED of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake . . .” Romans 13:1-10.

“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, ARRAYED in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he GAVE NOT God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. 24 But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:20-24.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be NO PRIEST to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure:and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

SUMMARY:
The central charge of this message is that believers must AUGUST THEIR LIVES BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER. The foundation is this truth: CHRIST JESUS IS THE POWER OF GOD AND THE WISDOM OF GOD – 1 Corinthians 1:24. Any deviation from this leads to error, bondage and spiritual captivity Mark 12:24; Matthew 22:29.

KEY POINTS:

The Danger of Ignorance: Lack of Knowledge Leads to Bondage
When people do not know the genuine POWER OF GOD THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD, they give in to SORCERIES AND BEWITCHING.
Scripture warns: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.
This ignorance makes people vulnerable. They become prey and captives because they cannot discern the true source of power.

Biblical Case Study: Simon of Samaria
The city of Samaria is used as the prime example. A man called Simon, and not Christ Jesus, was regarded as “the great POWER of God”Acts 8:9-10.
For a very long time he BEWITCHED THE PEOPLE WITH SORCERIES and held them as prey in captivity.
The multitude gave him heed because they lacked knowledge of the true POWER OF GOD.
When the true Gospel was preached, the people believed and turned to Christ Acts 8:12. Simon himself was sharply rebuked for trying to buy the Holy Spirit with money Acts 8:18-24. This rebuke was to ensure that the genuine POWER and WORD of God would multiply, not the falsehood of men.

Modern Application: Attributing God’s Power to Men
The message draws a direct parallel to today. Manysupposed believers give ACCORD to fallible men, as though they possess the great POWER OF GOD more than Christ Jesus.
Like Simon, some men allow this applause for what they are not, knowingly and unknowingly BEWITCHING the people with acts, practices and schemes.
This pattern of attributing the POWER OF GOD to men provoked God’s judgment on King Herod, who was eaten up by worms after accepting the shout, “It is the VOICE of a god” Acts 12:20-24. Immediately after, “THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED”.

The Only True Power and Wisdom: Christ Jesus
The Scripture is emphatic:

We preach CHRIST CRUCIFIED, who to the called is THE POWER OF GOD, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:23-24

Of Him are we in Christ Jesus, who is MADE UNTO US WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30

The GOSPEL of Christ is the POWER of God unto salvation. Romans 1:16

There is no POWER but of God: the POWERS that be are ORDAINED of God. Romans 13:1

Therefore glory must only go to the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:31.

The Call
The message ends with a two-fold examination:
To the followers: Are you attributing the POWER OF GOD which is of Christ Jesus to a man, thereby leading others into error?
To the leaders: Are you like Simon and King Herod, receiving the accord of the POWER OF GOD as though it were yours, to sustain pride and arrogance?

Closing Charge
To AUGUST YOUR LIFE is to live by GOD’S ENABLING POWER in Christ Jesus. Reject sorceries, reject bewitching, reject the exaltation of men. Return to the Scriptures and to THE POWER OF GOD. Let the WORD of God GROW and MULTIPLY in your heart and in the church.

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE

June 11, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – AND TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYWAY!

“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 prevails;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satanic evil and wicked cohorts have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died. Yet the Church of Jesus Christ – hallelujah – the greatest and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth, and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute opposition and challenges. And in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and his COHORTS against God’s mandate – His plan, purpose and pursuit – the Church stands and advances.

“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.

All simply because this Kingdom purpose and cause is of God, and it is an EVERLASTING KINGDOM that endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS – irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the pathway.

“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.

Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, the Church of God in Christ Jesus, it is time to ARISE and BUILD with selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again – in order to set things right in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we see EVERY DAY in our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities, and in every place of living and doing life.

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the DEMONS are SUBJECT to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan FALL from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN you AUTHORITY [that you now possess] to TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] OVER ALL the POWER of the ENEMY (Satan); and NOTHING will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your NAMES are RECORDED in heaven” Luke 10:17-20 Amplified.

For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmophere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being as Apostle Paul stated in the Holy writ of Ephesians 1:17-23.

WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR, the Church of JESUS CHRIST with the mandate to be triumphant in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY.

CHURCH ARISE – YOU ARE THE CHURCH!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!

AND AS THE CHURCH – YOU ARE TRIUMPHANT!!!

CONGRATULATIONS – BE BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“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.

“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.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, THAT MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (Give Up, Lose Heart, Discourage) Luke 18:1. (Emphasis Mine)

“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. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be BOUND (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be LOOSED (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven” Matthew 16:18-19 (Emphasis Mine).

“Jesus came up and said to them, “ALL AUTHORITY (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age” Matthew 28:18-20 Amplified.

“[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), 19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength 20 which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above ALL RULE and AUTHORITY and POWER and DOMINION [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 22 And He put ALL THINGS [in every realm] in SUBJECTION under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head OVER ALL THINGS in the church, 23 which is His body, the FULLNESS of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers]” Ephesians 1:17-23 Amplified.

Further Scriptural Reading: 2 Corinthians 10:3-16; 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Timothy 3:12; Isaiah 54:15-17; Isaiah 60:1-2; Mark 16:16-20.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”

June 8, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”: THE ENABLING POWER OF GOD TO ACCESS AND FULFILL PURPOSE IN CHRIST JESUS!

“. . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God . . .” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17.

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1.

Until redemption in Christ Jesus, the OLD TESTAMENT CREATION people were LED by mere men who served under God as Prophets, Priests, Kings and Levites, and who were not born again [not circumcised in the heart] otherwise born of God with the Holy Spirit living within them [Romans 2:28-29; Philippians 3:3; John 14:16-27; Romans 5:5]. All of them, from the Old Testament till the Gospel, none was born of the Spirit in their spirit-being, in order for them to know, understand and experience God within for themselves [John 3:1-15]. Those used to accomplish divine purpose in the Old Creation Testament received the Blessed [empowering] Spirit of God’s BLESSEDNESS UPON them firstly – without living WITHIN them – but ONLY for them to function and carry out the intent, plan, purpose and pursuit of God as they were instructed in all generations and dispensations until Christ Jesus. That Is when the Spirit WITHIN comes into being for our BLESSEDNESS within. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the divine trinity, was concealed – not revealed in person except in function- to those used in the Old Creation Testament.

“For there are three that bear record [witness] in heaven, THE Father, THE Word, and THE Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

And God’s BLESSEDNESS in grace is as real as when it is being carried by the spiritual empowering of the Holy Spirit, who is the enabler of God, and the ensuring factor that brings God’s promises to physical reality – tangibility in various formats to all in humanity. Unfortunately, most people think that God’s BLESSEDNESS, [BLESSINGS] are of the physical, [tangible] things they see, feel/touch, smell, hear and taste; which unfortunately, it is not, otherwise it would rot, rust, corrupt, decay, degrade, depreciate and the like, in all things happening under the Sun. And it is heavenly secured in God’s hands of righteousness, where Christ is seated and we in grace ARE positioned and seated at the right hand of the Father God, and it is with no earthly corruptions, counterfeits, distortion and adulteration to undermine its priceless worth in the grace.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT together in HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES break through and STEAL: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither MOTH nor RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES do not BREAK through nor STEAL: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART [SPIRIT-BEING] be also” Matthew 6:19-21.

For God’s enabled BLESSEDNESS, [BLESSING] it is not accompanied with sorrow and such like, but it enriches to all things. And it is not limited to any to monopolised, as it is irrespective of gender, race, colour, tongue, status, class, geographical location, etc. And it is not governed by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH UNTO ALL that call upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.

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

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

In same scenario, to BE LED BY THE SPIRIT [HOLY SPIRIT] is another act of the BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] of God in Christ Jesus. That you live and do life in grace by the leading [being led] of God in every one of your life decisions, it is an awesome, gracious and graceful realm to enjoy of God in order to fulfil purpose in your redemption in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord in humanity knows the virtue of BEING LED of the Spirit, from the onset of His humanity and Ministry until the end of His time in our redemption. He knows it takes the Father God’s BLESSEDNESS to function within His perspectives. And because He was BEING LED of the Holy Spirit, He was able to fulfil the demands of the Father God for human redemption with no stone left unturned in His humanity [Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1/Luke 4:1-22; Acts 10:38].

The Believers of God in Christ Jesus can also enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BEING LED of the Holy Spirit. It is God’s given access to ALL in Redemption that are born of God in Christ Jesus [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8]. That is what ensures SONSHIP in God in Christ Jesus. [Galatians 4:6-7; Romans 8:14 (8-11, 14-17, 26-40); Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13]. And every believer should crave to ensure that they are BEING LED of God, otherwise satan and his cohorts will set up middlemen in religious cloaks and will act religiously as your go-between to God, which is unscriptural toward religiosity, dogma, bondage and such like [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12]. There are many out there for deception, to pervert and to deceive others of the truth [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18]. And BEING LED of the Holy Spirit BLESSEDNESS gives the wisdom from above, to be above only in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. [James 3:15 (13-18)].

I PRAY that you will rise up now in Christ Jesus and thirst and hunger after the BLESSEDNESS of BEING LED by the Holy Spirit of promise – who is the Holy Spirit of the triune [trinity] God [1 John 5:7]. If you act otherwise, it then means you have set yourself readily ready to fall prey and victim before the enemy and cohorts of your faith in Christ Jesus’ stead. [1 Peter 5:8-9; James 3:13-18].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT:

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . . 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all . . . 18 The Spirit of the Lord is UPON me, because he hath ANOINTED me to PREACH the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:1-22.

“How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him” Acts 10:38/AMP Classic Edition.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17.

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

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

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“. . . 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13.

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:13-18.

SUMMARY:

Core Thesis:
The message presents being led by the Holy Spirit as the central blessedness of the New Covenant. It contrasts Old Testament function “upon” with New Testament life “within”, arguing that true purpose, sonship, and God’s incorruptible blessedness are accessed only through Spirit-led living in Christ.

Definition of God’s Blessedness
Nature: Not physical, tangible, or perishable. It does not rot, rust, decay, or depreciate like earthly things [Matthew 6:19-20].
Location/Security: Heavenly, secured in God’s hands of righteousness where Christ sits at the right hand of the Father [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6]. Believers are “seated in heavenly places in Christ”.
Character: Adds no sorrow [Proverbs 10:22]. Enriches in all things. Inclusive — no difference of gender, race, class, geography [Romans 10:11-13; Galatians 3:28]. Not governed by sentiment, prejudice, or dissimulation.

“Being Led of the Spirit” as Enabling Power
Scriptural Anchor: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” [Romans 8:14]. Spirit-led living is presented as proof of sonship.
Christ’s Pattern: Jesus Himself knew the virtue of being Spirit-led from the start of His ministry [Luke 4:1] until redemption was complete [Matthew 4:1; Acts 10:38]. He functioned by the Father’s blessedness and the Spirit’s empowerment, fulfilling every demand of redemption.
Believer’s Access: This same Spirit-led access is “God’s given access to all in redemption who are born of God in Christ Jesus” [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8]. It is not for a select few.

Old Testament vs New Testament Contrast
Old Testament Creation: People were led by men under God — Prophets, Priests, Kings, Levites. They were “not born again, not circumcised in the heart” [Romans 2:28-29].
Spirit’s Role Then: The Spirit came upon them for function — to carry out God’s intent for that dispensation — but did not live within them [John 7:39]. None were born of the Spirit in their spirit-being until Christ.
New Testament Reality: With redemption in Christ, the Spirit within comes into being for the believer’s blessedness. The Spirit is now revealed, not concealed, as the third person of the triune God [1 John 5:7]. This enables knowing, understanding, and experiencing God internally [John 3:1-15].

Practical Implications for Believers
Sonship & Purpose: Spirit-led living ensures sonship [Galatians 4:6-7; Romans 8:14-17] and empowers believers to access and fulfil purpose in Christ.
Warning Against Religious Go-Betweens: If believers are not Spirit-led, they become prey to “middlemen in religious cloaks” promoting religiosity, dogma, and bondage [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12]. Scripture warns of deceivers who pervert truth [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4].
Wisdom from Above: Being led by the Holy Spirit gives “wisdom from above” — pure, peaceable, gentle, full of mercy [James 3:15, 17] — which keeps the believer “above only in Christ Jesus’ stead”.

Exhortation

The message closes as a prayerful charge: believers must “rise up now in Christ Jesus and thirst and hunger after the blessedness of being led by the Holy Spirit of promise” [Matthew 5:6; Luke 11:9-13]. Failure to do so leaves one open as prey to the enemy [1 Peter 5:8-9]. The call is to crave Spirit-dependence for power, witness [Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49], and victory.

Summary in one sentence:
God’s incorruptible, heavenly blessedness in Christ is accessed and expressed through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit within, which makes Spirit-led living the defining mark of New Covenant sonship, purpose, and protection against religious bondage.

DARE TO LIVE BY POWER AND GRACE

June 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DARE TO LIVE BY POWER AND GRACE: RECEIVE POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME!

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

WHAT’S GOD’S POWER – The enabling of God to FUNCTION and MANIFEST (REVEAL, EXPRESS, PERFORM) of God in Christ Jesus, in LIFE and GODLINESS.

WHAT’S GOD’S GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME what you believe of God by Faith in Christ Jesus, in LIFE and GODLINESS.

I want you to know, full well, that God’s POWER in context is not a magical or curious acts. Neither is it mystical, occultic, nor sorcery and demonic divination, or witchcraft as we see in many places in the name of ‘’signs and wonders and miracles’’ in quotes.

Rather, I am sharing here about the enabling of God that makes and positions one with daring spirit in life, to function by God’s Spirit and might beyond one’s ability – that’s God empowering one’s ability, inability, and weakness in order to fulfil His PURPOSE, in LIFE and GODLINESS [Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4].

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His Stead.

Thus, indicating that whatever ability that was and is there in one’s life needs to be subjected to God’s ability, along with the inability, to ensure that God’s ability becomes one’s ability in the grace [1 Corinthians 9:27]. For God is not only the God of the impossible [Matthew 19:26! Mark 10:27], He’s also of the possible. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation, and empowerment to write more than one quarters of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attain to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he then considered/counted his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE. And he being a learned Lawyer who studied under Sanhedrin – and was circumcised the eighth day – and of the stock of Israel – and of the tribe of Benjamin – and an Hebrew of the Hebrews – and as touching the law, a Pharisee – and concerning zeal, persecuting the church – and touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless, yet he submitted to God’s own enabling POWER and GRACE, as he said of himself in the holy writ.

“Though I might also have confidence in the flesh (ABILITY). If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh (ABILITY), I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, AND DO COUNT THEM but DUNG, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” Philippians 3:4-8/Emphasis Mine.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he heard from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made perfect in your weakness to make you FUNCTION for me.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9/Emphasis Mine.

“Each time he said, “No. But I am with you; that is all you need. My POWER shows up best in WEAK people.” Now I am glad to boast about how weak I am; I am glad to be a living demonstration of Christ’s POWER, instead of showing off my own POWER and abilities” 2 Corinthians 12:9/Living Bible.

Therefore, if you want God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE – for your ABILITY must be on a zero reading on God’s chart.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he POWER to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might . . .19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:10, 19.

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 but their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

SUMMARY:

The message is a call to live by depending on God’s POWER to function and His GRACE to become, instead of relying on human ability. It shows from Scripture that God works best when we surrender our own strength and make ourselves available to Him. Using Apostle Paul as the example, it proves that personal credentials and effort must give way to God’s enabling if we want to live effectively for Him and become like Christ.

Key Points:

Core Message and Bible Foundation
Based on Acts 4:33, the message shows that the early apostles lived with two things: POWER to function and GRACE to become. The title “Dare to Live by Power and Grace” challenges every believer to choose that same lifestyle.
Clear Definitions
God’s Power: God’s enabling that helps a believer function, live out Christ, and walk in godliness. It is not magic or mysticism, but the Spirit’s strength [Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6].
God’s Grace: God’s enabling that changes a believer to become Christlike through faith [2 Peter 1:3-4].
Simple Difference: Power is for doing/functioning. Grace is for being/becoming.
Main Principle: Availability over Ability
Human ability alone cannot do Kingdom work. What God requires is availability. When we submit both our strengths and weaknesses to Him, His ability works through us by grace [1 Corinthians 9:27]. With God, what is impossible becomes possible [Matthew 19:26].
Example from Apostle Paul
Paul had top credentials — trained under Gamaliel, Pharisee, blameless in the law — yet he counted all of it as loss and dung to gain Christ [Philippians 3:4-8]. That decision allowed him to function by God’s power and become by His grace.
How God Works Through Weakness
Whenever Paul tried using his own ability, he was limited. God told him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” [2 Corinthians 12:9]. So, Paul learned to boast in weakness because that’s where Christ’s power shows up most.
What It Means for Us Today
To experience God’s power to function and His grace to become, we must stay available and stop relying on self-effort. The message puts it plainly: your ability must read zero on God’s chart so He can work through you.
Scriptures to Ponder
Philippians 3:4-8, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Acts 4:33, John 1:12, Ephesians 6:10,19, Acts 9:20-30.

Conclusion:
The message calls every believer to drop self-reliance, embrace availability, and let God’s power and grace produce both results in service and transformation in character.

NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL: THEN GO FORTH TO PREACH

June 3, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL: THEN GO FORTH TO PREACH – TEACH – AND MINISTER THE GOSPEL TO ALL!

Are you ASHAMED or EMBOLDENED to PREACH, TEACH AND MINISTER the GOSPEL to the unreached, untouched and unsaved within your family, community and environment? Do you know the cost of a soul?

“. . .. They that TRUST in their WEALTH and BOAST themselves in the multitude of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor GIVE to God a ransom for him, 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth forever:) 9 that he should still LIVE forever, and not see corruption . . . ” Psalms 49:1-20 Amplified.

The cost of a soul is not qualified or quantified by any de facto CURRENCY in humanity, and nothing on earth can amount to the cost of that soul near you who might need the GOSPEL while you yet pass by as if it doesn’t matter.

There’s NO contention, controversy, prejudice or dissimulation [HYPOCRISY] in the GOSPEL – and that’s what makes it unique among all in making a difference in all. For the GOSPEL is not a doctrine to be taught. It is the enabling power of God that gives HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that everyone needs to do life and live godly by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone that believeth; to THE JEW first, and also to THE GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

Ensure your day-to-day life by the Gospel. It’s the hallmark of a purpose-driven life with God, to live a meaningful and fulfilling life in the grace.

SELAH – PAUSE THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to THE JEW first, and also to THE GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“For THE PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy THE WISDOM of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For THE JEWS require a sign, and THE GREEKS seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and seeing the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were HEALED. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that city” Acts 8:4-8.

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have RECEIVED, and wherein ye STAND; 2 by which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I DELIVERED unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the gospel of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35.

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to PREACH the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this SCRIPTURE fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which proceeded out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:16-22.

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7. Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

SUMMARY:

The message talks about NOT BEING ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, and the urgent mandate to PREACH, TEACH, and MINISTER it to ALL souls without prejudice – from your family to the unreached around you.

Key Points:

Boldness Over Shame
The message confronts every believer: Are you ASHAMED or EMBOLDENED? We are charged to go forth without fear because the Gospel is God’s power, not a cause for shame.
Scripture: Romans 1:16-17 – “For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION…”
The Immeasurable Value of a Soul
No wealth, riches, or human currency can redeem a soul. One soul near you is more costly than all earthly riches, yet we often pass by as if it doesn’t matter.
Scripture: Psalm 49:7-8 – “none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother… for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS”
The Nature & Power of the Gospel
The Gospel carries NO contention, prejudice, or hypocrisy. It is not just doctrine, but the enabling POWER of God that gives HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to live godly. It is the mystery of godliness made manifest in Christ.
Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:16 – “without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the flesh…”
Biblical Pattern for Ministry
Jesus preached in CITIES and VILLAGES with healing. Philip brought GREAT JOY to Samaria by preaching Christ. Paul declared and labored in the same Gospel. The pattern is clear: preach Christ crucified to Jew and Gentile alike.

Scripture: Matthew 9:35; Acts 8:5-8; 1 Corinthians 1:23-24; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Call to Action:
Ensure your day-to-day life by the Gospel. Be emboldened to PREACH, TEACH, and MINISTER it to the unreached, untouched, and unsaved within your family, community, and environment. Live a purpose-driven life with God, because the Gospel is still the power of God for salvation today.

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD, FOR YOUR SALVATION

June 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD, FOR YOUR SALVATION: PREACH IT – TEACH IT – MINISTER IT AND LIVE IT – FOR THEREIN IT’S YOUR SALVATION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“For I am not ASHAMED of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to EVERYONE that BELIEVETH; to THE JEW first, and also to THE GREEK. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall LIVE by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

The GOSPEL is the ANSWER to every single quest in your life, and in all human history, for today, tomorrow, as it was yesterday – Hebrews 13:8. Unfortunately, many have been blinded and blindsided away from the GOSPEL so they can be controlled and be made to pursue alternatives – through creeds, religion, bylaws, cultural and traditional dogmas, denominational entanglements, and such like. As a result, many remain in perpetual subjection and bondage till this day. Yet the reality of the GOSPEL that ANSWERS every human quest for SALVATION, and that REVEALS the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God, still speaks in our midst today for all to experience and to have complete and wholesome liberation in God through Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 1:16-17.

It’s only by the GOSPEL that the enabling POWER of God for human SALVATION and to take a stand in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is made readily available in His grace and BLESSEDNESS – Romans 5:1-2. And it’s by the GOSPEL that we obtain the right to attain the revelation of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS to one and all. And SALVATION is synonymous with REDEMPTION, only that in the NEW CREATION context, it’s not exclusive to just being born of God – it entails the following, but not limited to – HEALTH, PEACE, SECURITY, PROSPERITY, DELIVERANCE and such like, and more.

The GOSPEL ought to be PREACHED, TAUGHT, ADMINISTERED, and LIVED for the SALVATION of people, so that the constituents of SALVATION become ALIVE, TANGIBLE, REACHABLE, LIVEABLE AND LOVABLE. Unfortunately today, what one sees now and again in these last days – if you look around you closely or even far off – is that people are being staged and managed in deception, counterfeits, adulteration, delusions, and such like, with the idea of pursuing the constituents of SALVATION without the GOSPEL. Instead, they should be PREACHED, TAUGHT, and MINISTERED to with the GOSPEL, which is the POWER of God to bring about the constituents we need to stand in RIGHTEOUSNESS on the realms and lanes of victory and triumph in Christ Jesus stead, as written:

“I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep your eyes on those who cause DISSENSIONS and CREATE OBSTACLES or INTRODUCE temptations [for others] to commit sin, [acting in ways] CONTRARY to the DOCTRINE which you have LEARNED. Turn away from them. 18 For such people do not SERVE our Lord Christ, but their own APPETITES and BASE DESIRES. By smooth and FLATTERING speech they DECEIVE the hearts of the unsuspecting [the INNOCENT and the NAIVE]” Romans 16:17-18 Amplified.

Know full well this day that the GOSPEL is the POWER of God unto human salvation and the REVEALER of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is that POWER of God unto human SALVATION. And it’s only when we PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER Jesus Christ to ourselves and others, that SALVATION comes alive to meet the needs of humanity and answer their cravings and quests: PEACE, PROSPERITY, DELIVERANCE, SECURITY and such like, and more. Romans 1:16-17; 1 Corinthians 1:24. Acts 8:4-8.

The GOSPEL is about the WORD of God. And Jesus Christ is the WORD of God. 1 John 5:7. And it’s as we PREACH, TEACH, and MINISTER the WORD as Philip the evangelist did in the Bible days of the Apostles as in – Acts 8:4-8 – that genuine, indescribable joy comes alive in an individual and in all. It also silences and puts an end to all form of the falsehood, deception, counterfeit, perverseness, and adulteration that once overwhelmed people with bondages, torments, and controls, as with that certain man Simon who used sorcery and bewitching tactics to enslave people as in – Acts 8:9-26.

It’s within the same scenario and similarity that Philip the evangelist PREACHED, TAUGHT, and MINISTERED the gospel, that Apostle Paul could stand to admonish and exhort the Corinthians to awaken them back to their original foundation and stand in the faith in their salvation – which came to them as a consequence of the GOSPEL he PREACHED TAUGHT and MINISTERED to them. He reminded them through the process that brought them to SALVATION by the gospel, laying it out in such didactic order for them to know, by laying the steps of the Gospel on which he stands, and on which he PREACHED, TAUGHT, and MINISTERED to them, before they get carried away as some had already then, and even as some do in today’s world. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

Therefore I say to you, that in this MONTH OF JUNE, for your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus, it’s time to stop pursuing the chaff in order to obtain PROSPERITY, DELIVERANCE, PEACE, SECURITY, SAFETY, HEALTH and such like, and more, outside the GOSPEL that brings about these constituents of SALVATION. For all these in pursuit are the results of SALVATION, which is the consequence of the PREACHING, TEACHING and MINISTERING of the Gospel of Christ Jesus for you to LIVE upon. And any other process is sorcery and bewitching – leading to spells, control, self-hype, contention, and evil in all manner of mannerism and behaviour. Philippians 1:15-18.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to ADD affliction to my bonds: 17 but the OTHER of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice”

Therefore, you need to stop running around chasing chaff and looking for a DELIVERANCE MINISTER who will DELIVER you through their so-called special ministry of “DELIVERANCE, PROPHETIC, PROSPERITY and PRAYER HOUSE SERVICES,” and such like. All these they do to exploit your vulnerability, ignorance, and the stupidity and foolishness that comes from not knowing and understanding that your access to such things is in GOSPEL – as the means to the end – in order to hold you captive. That will result in you buying their specially ‘anointed’ BOTTLE OF OIL, HANDKERCHIEF, HOLY WATER, SPECIAL BATHING SOAP AND CREAM, JERUSALEM SPRING, FEET OF JESUS SAND, SALT OF GALILEE, BLESSED STICKERS and RED CARDS, and many such like despicable physical items they depict as means of God. These above mentioned, and others, are their craft and cunning tactics to extort money and material things from you through their own made-up ‘God-will’ to bless you or answer your needs and desires – which contradicts the GOSPEL that brings about wholesome SALVATION to you.

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED (DELIVERED) us and has DRAWN (RECONCILED) us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED (TRANSLATED) us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION (SALVATION) [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.

Know this day that it’s only the GOSPEL – which is by the PREACHING, TEACHING and MINISTERING of Christ Jesus, who is the WORD of God of the GOSPEL, Who IS the POWER of God – to bring about the fulness and wholesome SALVATION to you and all humanity alike, irrespective.

AND I SAY AGAIN THAT THE GOSPEL – IS THE POWER OF GOD, FOR YOUR SALVATION. PREACH IT – TEACH IT – MINISTER IT AND LIVE IT – FOR THEREIN IS YOUR SALVATION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy THE WISDOM of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For THE JEWS require a sign, and THE GREEKS seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and seeing the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voices, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were HEALED. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that city” Acts 8:4-8.

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the gospel of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35.

SUMMARY:

the message is about the Gospel of Christ Jesus as the only power of God for complete salvation and righteousness, with a strong warning to stop chasing counterfeits and substitutes outside of it.

KEY POINTS

THE GOSPEL IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR SALVATION
the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. Jesus Christ is that power and the Word of God. in the Gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed. it is the answer to every human need — yesterday, today and forever. Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 13:8.
SALVATION IN NEW CREATION IS TOTAL
Salvation is redemption. It includes health, peace, security, prosperity, deliverance, and more. These are results of salvation, not separate pursuits. they become real only through preaching, teaching and living the Gospel. Colossians 1:12-14.
THE CRISIS: BLINDNESS AND SUBSTITUTES
Many have been blinded from the Gospel and now chase religion, creeds, culture and denominational rules. This leads to bondage. people pursue the benefits of salvation without the Gospel. Romans 16:17-18.
REJECT COUNTERFEITS — JUNE CHARGE
Stop seeking “deliverance ministers” and special ministries. stop buying “anointed” oil, handkerchiefs, holy water, stickers, red cards and similar items. These exploit and control you. They contradict the Gospel that brings true salvation. Philippians 1:15-18.
BIBLICAL PATTERN: PREACH THE WORD
Philip preached Christ in Samaria and people were delivered and healed. Simon, the sorcerer’s control, ended. Paul laid the Gospel foundation for Corinthians. Jesus preached the Gospel and healed the sick. as Christ is preached, salvation meets every need. Acts 8:4-26; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11; Luke 4:18-19.
THE GOSPEL REVEALS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LIBERATES
The Gospel is Jesus Christ, not things. by the Gospel we receive God’s righteousness. It silences deception and bondage. The Gospel still speaks today for complete liberation in God through Christ Jesus.

CALL TO ACTION

FROM THIS MONTH OF JUNE, stop pursuing substitutes outside the Gospel. only the Gospel, through Christ Jesus who is the Word and power of God, brings full salvation. the Gospel is the power of God for your salvation. preach it, teach it, minister it and live it.

PRAYING IN WISDOM

April 18, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

PRAYING IN WISDOM: GOD WILL ANSWER PURPOSEFULLY!

The kingdom of God is not either this or that. For our God is a God of order and decency; and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND. For example, it’s not a case of either PURPOSE or POWER, in reverse, POWER or PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment and that you can’t accomplish with God without His enabling gracious POWER; in other words, you can’t crave for God’s gracious POWER for no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT.

This INTENT is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, governance and more. This is the reason why many prayers and unnecessary fasting that even accompany some of them are not answered. THERE ARE PURPOSELESS REQUEST – HENCE, HEAVEN CAN’T EMPOWER THEM. THINK.

So, watch out how you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pours ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end; you need to reconcile matters of GRACE to PURPOSE. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion. Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and Covenant Church? I say NO! So, THINK!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of praying with wisdom and purpose, highlighting that God answers prayers that align with His purpose and empower believers to fulfill their assignments. It warns against purposeless prayers and fasting, which are driven by self-seeking motives rather than a genuine desire to serve God’s purpose.

Key points:

God is a God of order and decency, and He only commends what He commands (1 Corinthians 14:40).

Purpose and power are connected; one cannot accomplish God’s purpose without His enabling power (Jeremiah 33:3, Psalms 65:1-2).

Believers should reconcile their requests with God’s purpose and assignment (Colossians 4:17, John 18:37).

Purposeless requests will not be empowered by Heaven (1 John 3:8).

Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of living a purposeful life, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The message encourages believers to think critically about their prayers, ensuring they align with God’s purpose and will. It urges readers to pause and reflect on their prayer life, seeking God’s guidance and empowerment to fulfill their assignments.
