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.

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 – 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.

“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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:3.

“Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come” Psalms 65:1-2.

“Let all things be done decently and in order” 1 Corinthians 14:40.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

“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.

“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

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.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

April 18, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER To EMPOWER A PURPOSEFUL Demand!

“Call unto me, and I will ANSWER thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:3.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

For example, PRAYER is not a case of demanding from God either of His PURPOSE or His POWER, and in reverse, of His POWER or His PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and CAUSE to accomplish while POWER speaks of the ENABLING – ENDOWMENT – to accomplish the assigned PURPOSE; and that means, you can’t accomplish PURPOSE with God, without His gracious enabling – endowment – POWER; also, you can’t crave in PRAYER for God’s gracious and enabling POWER for a no PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES – for it to accomplish. Therefore, you need to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, this INTENT of PURPOSEFUL demand of God into your life, is applicable whether is to your – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. This is the reason why many so-called – PRAYERS and FASTING – are unwarranted and unnecessary; it’s because they are PURPOSELESSLY driven with the intent of solely seeking POWER or OPPORTUNITY for nothing. God doesn’t ANSWER a – PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND – no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make of it; this important to note, especially considering how much rigorous devotion of time we claim to be doing sometimes in respect to PRAYERS and FASTING and NIGHT VIGILS; and all these being done or that we do or are doing to accompany such activity or activities, is in order to get an ANSWER and yet are not forth coming or happening as we earnestly request and crave after.

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 GRACIOUS POWER DEMAND to the accompanying PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT, for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion as many have called my attention to such matters. Hence, I ask you today – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and His Covenant Church in Christ Jesus? And I say NO and NO!

It’s only when PURPOSE are right, then the accompanying POWER (the rights, capacity, opportunity) then works TOGETHER for the good of you and to ensure that you have the MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT with God. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and not do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude of grace by God’s APPROVAL and not man’s APPLAUD – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect example on matter of the subjects in discussion is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity, He was graciously LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning it’s not a self-show off to FAST and PRAY as some may do to indicate spiritual classification. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit accompanying the set PURPOSE of God – the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived through humanity in that CAUSE or PURPOSE and POWER with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity. And I can say in His stead, that in same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good – meaningfully and in fulfilment. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when done intentionally and as led by the Holy Spirit and by the WORD, in reconciling POWER demand with PURPOSE from God.

So, PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

It warns against purposeless prayers and fasting, which are driven by self-seeking motives rather than a genuine desire to serve God’s purpose.

God answers prayers that are purposeful and aligned with His will (Jeremiah 33:3).

Prayers should be driven by a desire to fulfill God’s purpose, not just seeking power or opportunity (1 Corinthians 14:40, 1 Timothy 3:15, Titus 1:5).

Purpose and power are intertwined; one cannot accomplish God’s purpose without His enabling power (Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22).

Believers should take heed of God’s assignment in their lives and avoid a wishy-washy attitude (Colossians 4:17, 2 Timothy 2:15, Acts 2:22, Romans 8:28).

Jesus Christ is the perfect example of living a purposeful life, empowered by the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:1-22).

Prayers should be intentional, led by the Holy Spirit, and aligned with God’s Word (Psalms 65:1-2).

The message encourages believers to pause and think about their prayer life, ensuring that their prayers are purposeful and aligned with God’s will.

THE ESSENCE – THE NEED TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN THE FAITH

April 16, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE – THE NEED TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN THE FAITH: IN ORDER TO BECOME WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN THE FAITH IN THE STEAD OF CHRIST JESUS.

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

The scripture gives an open check to all to come and RECEIVE Christ Jesus in their life in order to BECOME the sons of God. And this is accredited on the basis of the essence to see the need to BELIEVE in Him. For in Christ Jesus stead lies only the basis of the Faith to usher in any to BECOME the sons of God; and sons of God here indicates a non-gender, a basis of having the power [enabling, ability, capacity] to enact and authenticate authoritatively the rights and privileges in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead – STAND IN THE FAITH. Hence, there’s the need to BECOME WHOM and to BECOME WHAT you BELIEVE IN THE FAITH in the stead of Christ Jesus. [Romans 5:1-2]. And to have one BECOME WHOM and WHAT one BELIEVES of God in Christ Jesus stead is paramount IN THE FAITH as exemplified in the Matthew 9:27-30 scriptural context:

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU [BECOME “WHAT” YOU BELIEVE FOR AND “WHOM” YOU BELIEVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN]. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine.

Jesus saying to the blind men – “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU”, thus means in essence to BECOME “WHAT” YOU BELIEVE FOR AND “WHOM” YOU BELIEVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN to you, regardless and irrespective, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, know and understand these contexts in scripture terms and use:

BECOME WHOM YOU BELIEVE – [John 1:12-14, 17].
BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE – [Matthew 9:28-29 (27-31)].

TWO DISTINCTION – TO BELIEVE ON HIM AND TO BELIEVE IN HIM:

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

TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME]:

For one to BELIEVE ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] toward God, is for one to BELIEVE on His WILL to SAVE one as SINNER from the clutches and bondages of sin and sinful living, in order to access and obtain the good and goodness of God, for one’s own SALVATION in HIM. [1 John 3:23; John 1:12-13; John 3:18; Acts 16:30-34; John 12:46; 1 John 3:23].

[b] TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS [IN HIS NAME]:

For one to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME], thus means to believe in His ability – the ENABLING POWER in the SERVICE of the Kingdom to advance and to keep the enemy at bay; this is about and toward a BELIEVER receiving the POWER of God for God’s Kingdom services – a sphere, wherein the Believing one, is depending and looking up [enacting and authenticating] for the help of God, in order to receive what it takes to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, in life and godliness. [John 2:23; Matthew 18:6 (Mark 9:42); Mark 11:24-26; John 14:1, 9-11; Titus 3:8].

THE ESSENCES [ESSENTIALS] TO BELIEVE AND BELIEVING:

It HELPS to differentiate from Satan the devils and the cohort’s kind of trembling believe – [James 2:19].
It HELPS to access the kingdom of God – have eternal life and to avoid condemnation/damnation – [John 3:16-18; Mark 16:15-16 (1 John 5:11-12; John 17:3; Acts 20:29-21)].
It HELPS to ensure and assure to the basis of faith to operate by the WORD – [Romans 10:8-10, 17].
It HELPS the Believer’s to access their complete salvation and to be accompanied by signs and wonders that happen by the WORD – [Mark 16:15-20].
It HELPS to give the Believer’s in Christ Jesus, the access to the baptism of the Holy Spirit – [John 7:37-39; Acts 19:1-7 [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5-8; Acts 10:44-48].
It HELPS to come to God in Christ Jesus and to ensure the faith that pleases God is set in motion for God’s reward – [Hebrews 11:6].
It HELPS to give one the enabling opportunity to hold unto the promise of God and to help ensuring that the promises of God come to one’s reality also – [Romans 4:16-25; Galatians 3:6-9].
It HELPS to ensure and assure the basis for the preaching of the Gospel without – [Romans 10:14-17].
It HELPS to ensure and assure the result-oriented PRAYERS in the Believer’s stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Matthew 21:22; Mark 11:20-24.
It thus HELPS in so many and such like way – that pertains to life and godliness on this note but not limited: Wherever and whenever the MATTERS of FAITH is mentioned in the Bible, always have in mind, that BELIEVE and BELIEVING is at work even if it’s not mentioned directly and literally and in silence. For God does nothing without a believe and believing hearts to ensure and assure His word operates unhindered for results.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

BELIEVEST thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I BELIEVE that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” Mark 11:24-26.

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

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

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 4:1-25

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of believing in Jesus Christ to become who and what you believe in the faith. According to John 1:12-13, receiving Jesus gives us power to become sons of God, born of God, not of flesh or human will.

Key points:

Believing in Jesus Christ is crucial to becoming a son of God and accessing God’s promises (John 1:12-13, Romans 5:1-2).

There’s a distinction between believing “on” Jesus (for salvation) and believing “in” Jesus (for empowerment and service) (John 3:18, John 2:23).

Believing in Jesus enables us to access complete salvation, signs and wonders, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Mark 16:15-20, John 7:37-39).

Faith is essential for receiving God’s promises, operating in God’s Word, and experiencing result-oriented prayers (Romans 4:16-25, Matthew 21:22).

We become who and what we believe in the faith; believing is key to God’s power and grace in our lives (Matthew 9:27-30).

The message encourages believers to:

Believe in Jesus Christ for salvation and empowerment

Understand the distinction between believing “on” and “in” Jesus

Access God’s promises and power through faith

Become who and what they believe in the faith

Ultimately, the message is about the importance of faith and believing in Jesus Christ to experience God’s power, grace, and promises

YOU CAN NOW LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER

April 13, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YOU CAN NOW LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER: THE RISEN POWER ENABLES YOU TO CREATE YOUR DESIRED WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – AMEN!

“. . . 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 (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11/Emphasis Mine.

It’s time to create, initiate, explore and innovate a new you in Christ Jesus by the reason of the DONE WORK of our REDEMPTION in Him.

The PASSOVER – EASTER week and holiday comes and goes, but the ESSENCE of PASSOVER lives on for all eternity. The ESSENCE of REDEMPTION in SUMMARY was to end these three basic human failures in God at Adam in Eden – which is the consequence [effect] of SIN – the Sinful NATURE:

“For He hath made Him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN).

Poverty (Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

Sickness and Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

These aforementioned are the effects, results, and consequences of humanity’s depraved state resulting from SIN – the SINFUL NATURE; and the SINFUL NATURE is due to the fall in Eden, resulting the placement of Adamic curses – CURSED OF THE FALL [Genesis 3:1-24] which leads to the CURSE OF THE LAW [Deuteronomy 28:15-68]. The SPIRITUAL DEATH gave birth to PHYSICAL DEATH and to the final blow – ETERNAL DEATH. Then the curse effect of SPIRITUAL DEATH brought about POVERTY and SICKNESS (PESTILENCE – DISEASE).

Now, today, we can THANK God for our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which enables us to commemorate and celebrate our Triumphant Victory in Him; and to do LIFE and LIVE GODLY continually WITHOUT shame, fear, inferiority complexes and intimidations. For there is therefore NOW, no more CONDEMNATION, instead, is the enabling grace of God, GIVEN to us in Christ Jesus, in order to be functional and triumphant in our mortal being in Him. This enabling grace helps us to CREATE our REDEMPTION worlds over our human failures and limitations in every way of DOING LIFE [Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:14].

THEREFORE, IT THUS MEAN –

that every Adamic mortal limitations can and had been quickened in REDEMPTION and we are NOW made alive in REDEMPTION to live and reign in Christ Jesus in the clause of – ABOVE ONLY – in all life circumstances – [Ephesians 2; Colossians 2 & 3; Revelation 5:9-12; Colossians 1:12-14; 1 Peter 2:4-10].

You can live ABOVE your mortal being weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – [Romans 8:1-2, 9-11; 1 John 4:4-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Hebrews 11:1-3].

There’s the ENABLING POWER that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life, and duly BELIEVE in the accomplished work of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for them – [John 1:11-12; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 10:17-20].

There’s the enabling and empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – [Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; John 10:10].

Know that when Christ Jesus was betrayed and crucified, when He died and was buried, when He rose from the dead (grave), ascended and was enthroned, the scriptures indicates and enjoined that we were in that process of REDEMPTION. And that IDENTIFICATION, if you can actualise it, then the SPIRIT of the ESSENCE will begin to show up in fullness for you.

Therefore, let that same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, in order to QUICKEN, that is, ACTIVATE your mortal being to life again, from every known and unknown Adamic limitations [Romans 5:12-21]. May the scriptures begin to be fulfilled in your life as written in Romans 8:11 in Jesus’ name. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH. 3 John 2.

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 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 1:11-12.

“. . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21.

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Genesis 3:1-21; Deuteronomy 28:15-68

SUMMARY:

The message is about the power of redemption in Christ Jesus. It’s saying that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we’ve been redeemed from the curse of the law, sin, and its consequences: spiritual death, poverty, sickness, and disease.

The three main areas redemption addresses:

Spiritual Death: Separation from God due to sin (Adam’s treason).
Poverty: Impoverishment resulting from spiritual death.
Sickness and Disease: Physical consequences of spiritual death.

The solution:

Jesus took our place, becoming sin for us so we could be made righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The risen power of Jesus enables us to create our desired worlds in Christ.

The Holy Spirit dwelling in us quickens (gives life to) our mortal bodies (Romans 8:11).

The outcome:

No more condemnation (Romans 8:1-2).

We can live and reign in life through Christ’s power.

We’re empowered to create wealth, end poverty, and live in health (Deuteronomy 8:18, 3 John 2).

The key:

Receive Christ and believe in His accomplished work.

Let the Spirit that raised Jesus’ dwell in you, quickening your mortal body.

In essence:
Redemption is not just forgiveness; it’s power to live above human limitations. We’ve been made alive in Christ, and we can reign in life.

Scriptural highlights:

Romans 8:11: The Spirit gives life to our mortal bodies.

2 Corinthians 5:21: Jesus became sin for our righteousness.

Romans 5:12-21: Grace abounds more than sin.

Deuteronomy 8:18: God gives power to create wealth.

3 John 2: Prosper and be in health.

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD

April 6, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!

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

In course of time, I have seen how some so-called Believers who just want to wake up in the Christian faith with everything readily ready for them at no cost. There are some who will not take a stand in Christ Jesus, but want to get everything readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost; and while there are some too, who are without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead, but thinks it’s their entitlement to have anything at no cost. While in another scenario, there are some Believers who wants to wake up on a Church gathering services day, expecting a perfect church services section that’s readily set, with music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set, and such like, as may be applicable, with no iota of their input. These are the Believers, so-called, who want to belong but want to have a beautiful atmosphere, and gracious environment to enjoy a good outlook service while they are there without a participatory contribution to the desired outcome.

“NOT FORSAKING our meeting together [as BELIEVERS for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT of SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified.

And these set of nonchalant Believers who are less or of no concerns to play a role in the act of BELONGING to their set Church gathering place, which they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, are already knowingly and unknowingly hindering their own Blessedness. The concept to see that other Believers, but not them, are to do the needed good setting atmosphere for great gatherings indicates pure ignorance to spiritual understanding; and to watch others working for the common good and goodness that ensures that the environmental demands for great meetings are in place, with everyone participating shows how shortsighted such a group are in the affairs of the Kingdom of God. Everyone in the kingdom is given the measure of faith and grace to enable them participate in the kingdom affairs – and not having one’s hands involved to make good to be done collectively, and with the hearts of BELONGING – it’s already an indicator that such a person or group can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BECOMING in Christ Jesus stead.

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

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

I want you dear reader to know that the Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made FLESH [HUMAN], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14/Emphasis Mine.

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO-scriptural WORD of God as the basis of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For many times I have seen Church folks being very skeptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in every way of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.

And sometimes most of these excuse-givers and absentee Believers give some frivolous reasons that are simply born out of their fear and phobia or that they may lose out if they make such an act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately, some of them, with all their act of being skeptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despise toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literally obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging to His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious, and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus’ stead is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE nor a DOCTRINAL, nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogmas that’s just there to be known and applied.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.

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

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear and phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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