LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE

September 6, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: THE ACTS TO MAINTAIN And SUSTAIN THE BLESSEDNESS IN YOU – IN ORDER TO ENSURE AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION!

There is the need to ENACT the BLESSEDNESS in you in order to ensure an enduring POSSESSION in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus’ stead.

For it is one thing to be BLESSED of God, and it is another thing to KNOW you have been BLESSED of Him in order to live in the consciousness of such enabling grace without a human factor.

And it is yet another thing to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN the BLESSEDNESS of being in the BLESSED realm in the REDEMPTION of God in Christ Jesus.

To be BLESSED means to be EMPOWERED with the enabling goodness, graciousness and gracefulness of God to Succeed, Excel, Thrive, Achieve, Become, Create and Innovate, in order to:

Live a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life and more;

And to live WITHOUT sorrow, regret and mishaps in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

It thus means that the BLESSING of God in ESSENCE is not just physical in terms of — car, property, finance and such like.
But it is spiritual — the endowed enabling of God, RECEIVED in our Christ REDEMPTION, that helps one to acquire the physical things we do need to enhance life, such as — car, property, finance and such like.

The knowing of this makes our perspective in prayer more connected to the HOW of God. It shows us how things of God work for us — from the spiritual to the physical, in REVELATION and MANIFESTATION.

The 3 Ingredients for KNOWING and SUSTAINING BLESSEDNESS

And to ensure the KNOWING and SUSTAINABILITY of the BLESSEDNESS, one needs to possess and not lack any of these three ingredients that ensure the acts of LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These are:

THE WINE — Speaks of THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE OIL — Speaks of THE ANOINTING

THE BREAD — Speaks of THE WORD

The WINE will gladden one’s heart — the spirit-being

The OIL will cause one’s face to shine

The BREAD will strengthen one’s heart — the spirit-being — in all things

And where these abide and abound in our day to day living, then LIFE and GODLINESS are done with ease, leisure and meaningful fulfilment, over and above these limiting elements such as — stress, depression, pressure, fear and such like.

I pray you make time today and even now, to crave for this enabling to be a part of your day to day living in Christ Jesus. Amen.

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE THERE’S THE NEED TO ENACT IN ORDER TO ENSURE AN ENDURING POSSESSION IN OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS.

BE BLESSED!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a REPROACH among the heathen” Joel 2:19.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“Let thy GARMENTS be always WHITE; and let thy head LACK no OINTMENT” Ecclesiastes 9:8.

Further Scriptural Reading: 2 Peters 1:2-4; Ecclesiastes 9:8; Acts 2:1-21

SUMMARY:
The message is a prophetic teaching and charge on LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE by actively ENACTING, MAINTAINING and SUSTAINING the BLESSEDNESS that is already ours in Christ Jesus’ REDEMPTION. It teaches that to be BLESSED is not primarily about physical things, but about being EMPOWERED by God’s spiritual enabling to live meaningfully, purposefully and without sorrow. This BLESSEDNESS is sustained daily by 3 divine ingredients: THE WINE — THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE OIL — THE ANOINTING, and THE BREAD — THE WORD. Where these abound, LIFE and GODLINESS are lived with ease, and we possess enduringly what Christ has secured for us.

KEY POINTS:

The Core Truth: ENACT TO POSSESS

There is a need to ENACT the BLESSEDNESS in you to ensure an enduring POSSESSION in our REDEMPTION — Ephesians 1:3

3 levels exist:

To be BLESSED of God

To KNOW you are BLESSED and live in that consciousness without a human factor

To MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN that BLESSEDNESS in the BLESSED realm

What TO BE BLESSED Truly Means

To be BLESSED means to be EMPOWERED with God’s goodness, graciousness and gracefulness to Succeed, Excel, Thrive, Achieve, Become, Create and Innovate.

The goal: To live a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life WITHOUT sorrow, regret and mishaps — Proverbs 10:22

The BLESSING in ESSENCE is SPIRITUAL, not just physical. It is the endowed enabling in Christ REDEMPTION that enables us to acquire physical things — car, property, finance and such like — without stress.

The Shift in Perspective: SPIRITUAL TO PHYSICAL

Knowing this aligns our prayer life to the HOW of God.

We begin to see how things of God work — from the spiritual to the physical, in REVELATION and MANIFESTATION.

The 3 Ingredients for KNOWING and SUSTAINING BLESSEDNESS

To maintain and sustain BLESSEDNESS, you must not lack these 3 that empower LIFE and GODLY LIVING:

THE WINE — THE HOLY SPIRIT: “WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man” — Psalm 104:15. It gladdens one’s heart — the spirit-being.

THE OIL — THE ANOINTING: “OIL to make his face to SHINE” — Psalm 104:15. It causes your face to shine and “let thy head LACK no OINTMENT” — Ecclesiastes 9:8

THE BREAD — THE WORD: “BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” — Psalm 104:15. It strengthens the spirit-being in all things.

Where these abide and abound, LIFE and GODLINESS are done with ease, leisure and meaningful fulfilment, over and above stress, depression, pressure, fear and such like.
God also promises: “I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED” — Joel 2:19

The Promise in Redemption

We have been BLESSED with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ — Ephesians 1:3. Our job is to enact and possess what is already ours.

CALL TO ACTION

ENACT THE BLESSEDNESS. Stop waiting. Begin to live consciously from the place of being BLESSED in Christ. Declare it daily.
KNOW YOUR BLESSING. Study the Word to know what has been given to you in REDEMPTION — 2 Peter 1:2-4. Live without a human factor.
MAINTAIN WITH THE 3 INGREDIENTS DAILY:
DRINK THE WINE: Be continually filled with the HOLY SPIRIT — Ephesians 5:18; Acts 2:1-21
WEAR THE OIL: Honour and walk in THE ANOINTING. Don’t let your head lack ointment.
EAT THE BREAD: Feed on THE WORD daily to be strengthened.
CRAVE THE ENABLING NOW. Make time today to ask the Holy Spirit to make WINE, OIL and BREAD a part of your day-to-day living.
POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION. Move from spiritual revelation to physical manifestation. The Blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow.

Final Charge:
LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: THERE’S THE NEED TO ENACT IN ORDER TO ENSURE AN ENDURING POSSESSION IN OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS. BE BLESSED!

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU

August 4, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU: TO MAKE A NEW CREATION YOU – TO LIVE IN THE POSSIBILITY REALM IN THE GRACE!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, but A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV.

Have you ever wondered why our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ made this statement in the Gospel of Mark 2:22 while He was on earth in human form?
Just to update your knowledge — in case you do not know, as some have reasoned:

It must be noted that in our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus’s day, people used animal skins — such as goatskin — for storing liquids.
Fermented drinks such as wine expand.

And since an OLD WINESKIN (Old bottles) would already have been stretched to its limit, the NEW WINE would tear the seams of a skin that had already been used.

This means that an OLD WINESKIN will not stretch, yield, or respond to the gas pressure produced by fermenting wine.
And because the OLD WINESKIN will not stretch, it will simply burst — which means that both the OLD WINESKIN and the WINE will be ruined and lost.

That is the very reason why NEW WINE must be put into NEW WINESKINS.
And when NEW WINE is put into NEW WINESKINS, both are preserved, and nothing is ruined or lost over time through use.

“And no man putteth NEW WINE into OLD BOTTLES: else the NEW WINE doth burst the BOTTLES, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but NEW WINE must be put into NEW BOTTLES” Mark 2:22.

Also, the phrase ‘OLD WINE in a NEW BOTTLE’ is an idiomatic expression used in context.
It indicates and reflects that an OLD concept or institution is being offered and presented to be accepted as though it were still good, even when it is no longer relevant or applicable in the NEW context.

And thus, people who go about accepting and following such concepts are held in bondage and dogma due to ignorance — the lack of knowledge and understanding of the truth.

And the TRUTH is the expression of the WORD of God in Christ Jesus.
For Christ Jesus Himself is both THE WORD and THE TRUTH.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE” John 8:39-32

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“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.

And there are two things that are very clear to me in this concept and context above, which I will expound in detail in future posts. They are these:

The Continuous Use of the Old Testament Context
That which has already been done away with is being used to legislate and justify practices, to make it appear as though it is still tangible and relevant for now — when it ought not to be accommodated or accepted at all.
Knowing in REDEMPTION that Christ Jesus has already fulfilled such context for the saints — the Believers of God — in His stead.
[John 1:45; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 12:2; Romans 10:1-4; Matthew 22:38-46; Matthew 16:13-20]

The New Wine — who is the Blessed Holy Spirit
He is ONLY and PURELY meant and made available to the Believers [the New Creation] in Christ Jesus and not given to the world — the unbelieving ones toward God and Christ Jesus.
Acts 20:20-21; John 14:16-17

This therefore means that SALVATION is the only opportunity made available to all in the world, and not the Holy Spirit.
Receiving the Holy Spirit is only made possible after one has received the Gospel of Salvation in Christ Jesus.
Anything else is perversion, counterfeit, adulteration, delusion and falsehood.
[John 14:15-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-11; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 2:1-13; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]

The New Wine speaks of the Holy Spirit.
And besides being God in the Godhead and Trinity, and given to lead the Believers in Christ Jesus in all things throughout humanity, He is also given to gladden the hearts of the Believers in Christ Jesus’s stead.

Hence, part of His character is that of the Believers’ Comforter — if you recall that in the Scriptures, Christ Jesus did promise and assure the Believers in Him that He would send them the promised Comforter.
He called Him the Promise of the Father; and that Promise has already been fulfilled and is available for all to access after salvation, without prejudice or dissimulation, and indeed irrespective of person.
[John 14:15-17; Romans 5:5; Psalms 104:15; Joel 2:19, 28-29]

The earliest Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ were instructed to assemble by our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, as recorded in Acts 1:5, 8.
This was in order for them to receive the Promise of the Father God in Joel 2:19, 28-29 — and not limited to them — as emphasised by our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus in John 7:37-39 and Luke 24:49.
This pertains to receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

And as they obeyed that instruction, just as they were told, it came to pass as written in Acts 2:1-13, that they received the Promise of God — which is for all, even until this day, and until the Lord returns — for all who will believe on the saving grace in Christ Jesus’s stead.

Those who observed and witnessed the Apostles in this unique and blessed manifestation, which is attributed to a PENTECOST experience, described the Apostles in their acts and experiences as people drunk with NEW WINE.
And indeed, they were drunk — with NEW WINE: the HOLY SPIRIT of promise.

It is upon such uniqueness that the Apostle Paul drew a comparison to the drunken effect that people experience from ordinary wine, while he admonishes the Ephesian Church to rather be filled with the Holy Spirit, in order to have the contrary result to mere drunkenness, as explained in the context as it is written:

“. . . 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are FULL of NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“And be not DRUNK WITH WINE, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the Spirit; 19 speaking to yourselves in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING and making MELODY in your heart to the Lord; 20 GIVING THANKS always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 SUBMITTING yourselves one to another in the fear of God” Ephesians 5:18-21.

To be filled with the NEW WINE — the Holy Spirit — requires a NEW YOU: a NEW CREATION body for Him to dwell in.
Otherwise, it is like putting the NEW WINE into an OLD BOTTLE — the OLD YOU, which is the unregenerate life, the unconverted life, and the unrepentant life.

The Holy Spirit of TRUTH is set aside only for the believers in God, in Christ Jesus’s stead, and not for those in the world who have not believed in the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus.
Amen.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to THE JEWS, and also to THE GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

I welcome you now to make yourself available to God in Christ Jesus, to become a New Creation in order to access the New Wine that will make all the difference — in God, in Christ Jesus’s stead. Amen.

THE NEW WINE – ONLY ON A NEW YOU – TO MAKE A NEW CREATION YOU – TO LIVE IN POSSIBILITY

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen . . . 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will POUR out my spirit upon ALL flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit” Joel 2:19, 28-29.

“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.

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 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.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, THESE MEN ARE FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

“Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom moses in the law, and THE PROPHETS, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” John 1:45.

“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that THE PROPHETS have spoken: 26 ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at MOSES and all THE PROPHETS, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself . . . 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in THE LAW OF MOSES, and in THE PROPHETS, and in THE PSALMS, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their UNDERSTANDING, that they might UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES, 46 and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day” Luke 24:25-27, 44-46.

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4.

“Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:2.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and going about to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 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 1:1-5, 14.

SUMMARY:
This message is a doctrinal teaching centred on Mark 2:22 — “New Wine in New Wineskins”, and its application to the believer’s life in Christ Jesus.

THE FOUNDATION: NEW CREATION IN CHRIST

The entire teaching rests on 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 6:14-15:
When a person is in Christ, he becomes a NEW CREATION. Old things pass away. The Cross crucifies us to the world and the world to us. In Christ, religious rituals like circumcision do not matter — only A NEW CREATION does.
Therefore, God’s plan is not to patch the old life, but to make all things new.

THE PARABLE EXPLAINED: NEW WINE AND NEW WINESKINS — MARK 2:22

In Christ Jesus’s day, wine was stored in animal skins.

OLD WINESKIN [OLD BOTTLE]: Already stretched and rigid. It cannot expand.

NEW WINE: Ferments and produces gas. It requires something flexible that can stretch.

If you put NEW WINE into an OLD WINESKIN, the pressure will cause it to burst. Both the wine and the skin will be ruined.
Application: NEW WINE must go into NEW WINESKINS so that both are preserved.

THE WARNING: “OLD WINE IN A NEW BOTTLE”

This is used idiomatically to describe when an OLD concept or institution from the Old Testament is repackaged and presented as if it is still relevant for today.
People who accept this are kept in bondage and dogma through ignorance — a lack of knowledge of THE TRUTH, which is the WORD of God expressed in Christ Jesus.
Christ Himself is THE WORD and THE TRUTH [John 14:6, 1 John 5:7].

TWO KEY CLARIFICATIONS MADE IN THE MESSAGE
The Continuous Use of the Old Testament Context
That which Christ has already fulfilled is being used to legislate Christian practice today. This ought not to be.
In REDEMPTION, Christ has fulfilled the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms for the Believers of God [Luke 24:44-46, Hebrews 1:1-4, Romans 10:4].
We are no longer under the Old Covenant system.
The New Wine — Who is the Blessed Holy Spirit
The NEW WINErepresents the Holy Spirit.
He is ONLY and PURELY given to the Believers [the New Creation] in Christ Jesus, not to the world [John 14:16-17].
This means:

SALVATION is offered to all in the world.

The Holy Spirit is received after one believes the Gospel of Salvation.
Anything else is perversion, counterfeit, adulteration and falsehood.

THE CHARACTER AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT — THE NEW WINE

The Holy Spirit is God in the Godhead and Trinity. His work includes:

Leading Believers in all things throughout humanity
Gladdening the hearts of Believers [Psalm 104:15]
Being the Believers’ Comforter — the Promise of the Father already fulfilled [John 14:15-17]

The Apostles were instructed to wait in Jerusalem [Acts 1:5,8] to receive this Promise prophesied in Joel 2:28-29. When they obeyed, on the day of PENTECOST [Acts 2:1-13], they were filled and people said, “These men are FULL of NEW WINE.”
This is why Apostle Paul admonishes the Ephesian Church: “Be not DRUNK WITH WINE… but be FILLED with the Spirit” [Ephesians 5:18-21] — resulting in psalms, hymns, thanksgiving and submission.

THE REQUIREMENT: A NEW YOU FOR THE NEW WINE

To be filled with the NEW WINE, the Holy Spirit, you must be a NEW YOU — a NEW CREATION body for Him to dwell in.
To put the New Wine into an OLD YOU — the unregenerate, unconverted, unrepentant life — is to invite ruin, just like old bottles.
The Holy Spirit of TRUTH is set aside only for those who have believed in the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus. The world cannot receive Him [John 14:17].

THE INVITATION AND CHARGE

The message closes with an altar call:
“I welcome you now to make yourself available to God in Christ Jesus, to become a New Creation in order to access the New Wine that will make all the difference — in God, in Christ Jesus’s stead. Amen.”

It ends with supporting scriptures on the Holy Spirit being GIVEN [Romans 5:5], God POURING OUT His Spirit [Joel 2:28-29], and Christ as the fulfilment of THE LAW, THE PROPHETS, AND THE PSALMS.

CORE CONCLUSION
You cannot carry the NEW WINE of the Holy Spirit in the OLD YOU.
Redemption demands a NEW CREATION. Salvation comes first, then the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
To live in the possibility realm in the grace is to live as a New Creation, filled with the New Wine, walking in the Truth of the Word.

THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU!

August 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU!

You are most WELCOME to the DAWN of our eighth [8] month, AUGUST – our NEW DAWN MONTH in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead.

“In the BEGINNING God CREATED the heaven and the earth . . . 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:1, 31.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also, He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from BEGINNING to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God BLESSED the seventh day and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God CREATED and MADE” Genesis 2:1-3.

The Holy writ, the Book of beginnings in Genesis 1-2:3, records the wonderful acts of God in the creation of planet earth and all that is on the earth, as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2 and Acts 17:24-31. From scripture we see that by the sixth day God had CREATED all He intended to create, including man whom He also empowered to have dominion over all of creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to take pleasure in His creation, as declared in Revelation 4:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH? I can tell you now what I believe, embrace and concluded: On the EIGHTH day, man’s NEW DAY DAWNED. It was born to begin, as God rested from His work of creation. Therefore, the EIGHTH day marked the beginning for man to take his stand in PRINCIPLE – with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, in DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE -flowing from the REST of God, in order to find his own rest as he fulfils God’s purpose and assignment – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 4:8-11. Man’s NEW DAWN signifies a time to EXERCISE the eminent authority given and endowed to him – a power of attorney – to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, to subdue it and have dominion in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive in colour and grandeur Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was a day of great INFLUENCE, AFFLUENCE and SIGNIFICANCE – a day of HONOUR and DIGNITY – for man, without regard to gender, to seize the chance and opportunity accorded by the uncreated Creator God to advance God’s purpose through “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”. This is to meaningfully, responsibly and accountably carry out God’s order on earth and to fulfil the given purpose and assignment accordingly as instructed. It was a DAWN Day of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth – according to but not limited to, Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR THE NEW DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST:

The dawn Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year, represents a NEW DAWN signifying a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth month in both the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that has 31. And the name AUGUST means to inspire REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, HONOUR, MAJESTY, VENERABLE, EMINENCE AND LORDLINESS. Therefore, in line with the Month’s theme and in the context of AUGUST, having “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” means that you are deemed to be DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, HONOURED, GRAND – and all that AUGUST represents.

Do you recall your first day of school, college, or university – that which you so desired, deserved and cherished? How well you PREPARED and DRESSED to AUGUST it? Or that desired, PRECIOUS and PRESTIGIOUS job – how you started it on a very good note, with a MAJESTIC entrance to show that you were present and capable to AUGUST it? Or that first or SPECIAL date with that special person – how you carried yourself with great value to AUGUST it? Or that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding and marriage of yours – how you ensured and assured yourself to own the day and to AUGUST it, so that it became the most talked-about day for of honourable union? And you were at the top of the note before all invited friends and family too? I could give you many more scenarios, but you have some and can testify to them – that grandeur display of yours to AUGUST in your presence, especially on your Birthday, when you took out time and resources to make it YOUR DAY.

Now therefore, it’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK – of any situations that you’ve dignified, accorded respect and honoured, though not mentioned here. That is what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly – and the how and why to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

It is this act of AUGUSTING one’s life that made Apostle Paul say that he MAGNIFIED his MINISTERIAL OFFICE. He did so dearly and earnestly, that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office and repute for granted. Meaning, he AUGUSTED the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS – with such grace to ensure it was DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and all such like, as it is written:

“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MY MINISTRY, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them” Romans 11:13-14 NKJV.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the DAWN NUMBER of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY – to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested and was delighted in His finished work, mankind began its representative and ambassadorial role in a great fashion – a chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display: to be revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that is of Go d and in God – to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen!

I pray that as you journey through this month of AUGUST, being the eighth month of the year, it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of MAJESTY and DIGNITY, EMINENCE: be REVERED and ADMIRED, VENERABLE and LORDLY. May the Month of AUGUST be a month wherein all things that pertain to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY are under your control, as you reign in the path of DOMINION. May you spend time in God’s presence, that He might order your life to GREATNESS and PEACE, as it is written:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY (DWELLING)” Jeremiah 17:12.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ Jesus as in Romans 5:1-2, will cause your path to shine and shine brighter and brighter – cleaner and cleaner – until the full glow of you is shown, that all may see your great eminence in God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number EIGHT, being AUGUST, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, and your disappointment to appointment. May your present lamentable situation and

circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve. He, after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, did not go as he was – in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform. Rather, he went to shave his beard, exchanged his prison clothes for a dignified robe, and assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh – a place of honour, eminence and dignity to be revered – he would not return to prison again. And that eventually became his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison, he did not imprison himself as a prisoner. Meaning, the prison did not have hold of him, because the EMINENT ONE lives in him – who is our JEHOVAH-ADONAI. Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month of AUGUST with – “THE NEW WINE FOR THE NEW YOU” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And no one puts NEW WINE into OLD WINESKINS; or else the NEW WINE bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But NEW WINE must be put into NEW WINESKINS” Mark 2:22 NKJV.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“And WINE that maketh glad the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to shine, and BREAD which strengtheneth man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen . . . 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will POUR OUT MY SPIRIT upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I POUR OUT MY SPIRIT” Joel 2:19, 28-29.

“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted WINE, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have NO WINE. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good WINE; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples BELIEVED on him” John 2:1-11.

“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.

“For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence . . . 8 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 1:5, 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.

SUMMARY:

This is a prophetic charge and teaching welcoming people into AUGUST 2026 — the 8th month, framed as a “NEW DAWN MONTH” in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

KEY POINTS

FOUNDATION: GOD’S PATTERN OF 7TH DAY REST → 8TH DAY BEGINNING

Genesis 1-2:3 — God CREATED for 6 days, RESTED and SANCTIFIED the 7TH day.

Revelation 4:11 — All things were created for His pleasure.

Key Question & Answer: What happened on the EIGHTH day?
Answer: Man’s NEW DAY DAWNED. It marked man’s beginning to take his stand with RESPONSIBILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, DILIGENCE, PRUDENCE — flowing from God’s REST, to fulfil purpose. Romans 8:28-30, Eph 1:11, Heb 4:8-11

Genesis 1:26-28 — On this 8th day mandate, man exercises authority: be fruitful, multiply, subdue, have dominion, live in majestic splendour.

THE MEANING & IDENTITY OF “AUGUST”

AUGUST = 8th month in both JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars. One of 7 months with 31 days.

Name “AUGUST” = to inspire REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREMACY, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, HONOUR, MAJESTY, VENERATION, EMINENCE, LORDLINESS.

Therefore, to “AUGUST” something means to treat it with precision, value and honour. To AUGUST YOUR LIFE is to live dignified.

Example: Apostle Paul MAGNIFIED HIS MINISTRY — Romans 11:13-14 — he AUGUSTED his calling with GRACIOUSNESS so no one would disdain it.

THE CENTRAL CHARGE: “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”

August is the month to AUGUST IT AGAIN with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE.
This means:

Number EIGHT = DAWN NUMBER of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY for a new beginning.

Believe again in the you that is of God and in God — to live and reign dignified.

Expectation: Shame → Fame, Disdain → Honour, Failure → Success, Setbacks → Stepping stones, Disappointment → Appointment.
Your present situation becomes your positioning for greater heights.

THE JOSEPHPRINCIPLEILLUSTRATION

Like Joseph in Genesis 41:12-16:
Even in prison, he didn’t imprison himself. When Pharaoh called, he shaved, changed clothes, and entered the palace with dignity because “the EMINENT ONE lives in him — JEHOVAH-ADONAI.”
We are called to carry that same spirit this month.

THE PRAYER/DECLARATION FOR AUGUST

As we journey through this 8th month, it shall be a “beginning of months” for you.
A month to:

Live and reign in MAJESTY, DIGNITY, EMINENCE

Be REVERED, ADMIRED, VENERABLE, LORDLY

Have all things pertaining to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY under your control

Spend time in God’s presence so He orders your life to GREATNESS and PEACE — Jeremiah 17:12

Have your path shine brighter and brighter because of justification in Christ — Romans 5:1-2

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER

The message is anchored on “NEW WINE” and “NEW CREATION” scriptures:

Mark 2:22, 2 Cor 5:17, Gal 6:14-15 — New Wine, New Creation

John 14:15-17 — The Spirit of Truth dwells IN you

Psalm 104:15, Joel 2:19,28-29 — Wine, Oil, Corn and the outpouring of the Spirit

John 2:1-11 — Jesus turned water to wine at Cana

Luke 24:49, Acts 1:5,8 — Endowment of Power

John 7:37-39 — Rivers of living water

Acts 2:1-13 — Pentecost: “These men are full of NEW WINE”

IN ONE SENTENCE:

August is prophetically declared as the EIGHTH DAY / NEW DAWN where, from God’s rest, we are empowered by “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” to AUGUST our lives — walking in dignity, dominion, and the Spirit, so that our lives reflect God’s glory and attract honour.

Tone: Prophetic, instructive, celebratory, and highly declarative. It moves from Creation → Rest → New Beginning → Personal Application → Prayer.

THE MONTH OF ENACTING – “THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS!”

June 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE MONTH OF ENACTING – “THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS!”

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved” Ephesians 1:3-6.

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“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, 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 I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you forever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [EMPOWERING us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has appropriated us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a security deposit to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22/AMP.

“Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, [as conformity to God’s will and purpose—so it is with you also]. 7 So understand that it is the people who live by faith [with confidence in the power and goodness of God] who are [the true] sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news [of the Savior] to Abraham in advance [with this promise], saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then those who are people of faith [whether Jew or Gentile] are blessed and favored by God [and declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with Him] along with Abraham, the believer . . . 13Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all receive [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith . . . 26 For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves with Christ [that is, you have taken on His characteristics and values]. 28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. 29 And if you belong to Christ [if you are in Him], then you are Abraham’s descendants, and [spiritual] heirs according to [God’s] promise” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP.

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN DILIGENTLY UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF THOU SHALT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF THAT THOU HEARKEN UNTO THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them” Deuteronomy 28:1-14.

“Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” Acts 20:34-35.

“What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted 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 . . . 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were . . . 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification” Romans 4:1-25.

ENSURING “THE BLESSED LIFE” IN CHRIST JESUS!

June 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

ENSURING “THE BLESSED LIFE” IN CHRIST JESUS!

“Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the Law and its CONDEMNATION by BECOMING a CURSE for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all RECEIVE [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP Classic Edition.

JUNE, the sixth [6] month, marks the end of the first half of the calendar year in both Gregorian and Julian calendars. It’s also the 2nd of the 4th month with thirty [30] days in the twelve [12] months annual calendar.

JUNE is also a lovely given name to the female gender, carrying significance. The name and month embody the essence of FULLNESS of life, and it’s of a profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality. Thus, it indicates how God wants us to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, and to live in His BLESSEDNESS while fulfilling His PURPOSE in us MEANINGFULLY, in all our life endeavours, as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the best place of having the FULNESS of Life and profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality is by engaging and following in obedience, God’s plan PATH for your life as in the holy writ of the scriptures. (Ephesians 2:10; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Philippians 2:1-18].

The BLESSED life in Christ Jesus is about GOD’S BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. And ENACTING the BLESSED life, is about ensuring, living and acting out in the fulness, the blessedness of God’s purpose in our life meaningfully and unreservedly.

Living the assured BLESSED life and BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus means living in God’s EMPOWERING realm, fulfilling His purpose in your life [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. The BLESSED life of God doesn’t operate in emptiness, vain imagination, or human strength, power and might [Zach 4:6; 1 Samuel 2:9; 2 Corinthians 3:1-6]; it operates and authenticates through God EMPOWERING us, via the Holy Spirit, who EMPOWERS us, SEALS us, ANOINTS us, GUARANTEES us and DWELLS within us as GIVEN of God the Father to us as by the redemption default in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Acts 1:8; Luke 24:59, Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22].

For to be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is to be EMPOWERED of God by the Holy Spirit to succeed, to achieve and to become; and more so, to be fulfilled productively, efficiently and effectively [effectually] in the ASSURED WORD of God.

The BLESSEDNESS of God in character [Galatians 5:22-23], charisma [1 Corinthians 12:7-11] and ministry [1 Corinthians 12:28-31; Ephesians 4:7-16; Romans 12:3-8] is empowered, synergised and manifested by the Holy Spirit. It means God’s BLESSEDNESS in the New Creation Testament is made REALITY in us as we do life and live godly, by the Holy Spirit of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you enact THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, by the Holy Spirit of promise that makes all things possible by God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

STIRRING UP THE SPIRITUAL GRACE WITHIN

May 1, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

STIRRING UP THE SPIRITUAL GRACE WITHIN: IT GIVES THE ENABLING GRACE TO ENACT THE POWER, LOVE, AND SOUND MIND YOU HAVE BEEN ENDOWED WITH!

“That is why I remind you to FAN INTO FLAME the gracious GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is IN you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God DID NOT GIVE US a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN US a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 2:6-7/AMP.

When you stir up the Spiritual gift within you, then the elements of FEAR – (and ALL it stands for) – will give way for you to exercise and actualise BOLDNESS, POWER, SOUND MIND, LOVE and PEACE in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In Scriptural and translation version terms, to STIR UP means:

To rekindle (NkJV)

To fan into flames (NLT)

To keep ablaze (Message Bible)

To keep alive (Good News Translation)

To flame into fire (LB)

And such as much and more . . . when actively in operation.

In ancient times embers were kept slowly burning so that they could be fanned into flames when a fire was needed. And we all need fire in our bones to set us ablaze for the next levels in our lives. For no flies hangs around and about a flaming vicinity for any reason – indicating, that matters that are irrelevant to your wellbeing in fulfilling purpose can’t be within your vicinity when you are rekindling and inflaming by the Holy Spirit of life and grace to fulfil purpose.

Apostle Paul said to Timothy, if he MUST overcome FEAR of all sorts in life and godliness, he must FAN into flame – to rekindle and to keep alive the Holy Spirit gift within him, in order to ENJOY the sound mind, peace, love, self-control and more in his life and ministry, as he do life and live godly in Christ Jesus. Same also, is applicable to you and I in life and grace.

And you CAN STIR UP the spirit within by praying in the Holy Spirit of grace to guarantee you the daily sense of being – VICTORIOUS, TRIUMPHANT, OVERCOMER, WITH DOMINION and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in life and grace. And I can perceive you OVERCOMING the spirit of FEAR of ALL sorts in Jesus’ name, as you stir up the spirit [human spirit] within by the Holy Spirit that is made available for us all to win in life in Christ Jesus – Amen.

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21/AMP.

ENSURING AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION

ENSURING AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION: THE NEEDFUL ACTS TO MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN THE BLESSEDNESS!

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

In REDEMPTION, we are BLESSED of God in Christ Jesus. The essence of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is to ensure that in our assured redemption, that we can be able to: live a meaningful, purposeful and Fulfilling life and more; and to also live WITHOUT Sorrow, Regret and Mishaps.

And it’s one thing to be BLESSED of God in Christ Jesus, it’s another thing to KNOW that you’ve been BLESSED in order to enact and authenticate it into a daily reality in life and godliness in Christ Jesus; and it’s another thing also to know the how to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN the BLESSEDNESS of being BLESSED in REDEMPTION without sorrow and regrets and such like accordingly.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

And to be BLESSED, means to be EMPOWERED with the ENABLING of God’s good and goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in order to – SUCCEED, EXCEL, ACHIEVE, BECOME, CREATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE and INNOVATE, in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means that the BLESSING of God in ESSENCE – is not PHYSICAL in terms of – [Car, property, Finance and such like; but it’s SPIRITUAL] – and it’s the endowed enabling of God received in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus – and that’s what helps one in grace to acquire or bring into reality and tangibility, the physical things we do need to enhance life in grace, such as – Car, Property, Finance and such like.

The knowing of the above difference, in terms of what the blessing of God is, and is not, helps to ensure and assure how the BLESSEDNESS of redemption becomes real and tangible, and makes our perspective and perception in prayers more connected to the HOW things of God do work for us from the SPIRITUAL to the PHYSICAL in MANIFESTATIONS and TANGIBILITY, and how we can unreservedly and uncompromisingly do LIFE and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

And to ensure an assured know-how, maintenance and sustenance of the BLESSEDNESS, one need to possess, meaning, not to lack any of the three ingredients that ensures the acts of doing LIFE and living GODLY; these acts in essence helps to make all things in grace to come into fruition – reality and tangibility – as in the Holy writs:

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a REPROACH among the heathen” Joel 2:19.

The three INGREDIENTS from the Holy writs to help ensure the assured durability through knowing to maintaining and sustaining the blessedness of God in the grace are:

The WINE – Speaks of The HOLY SPIRIT: The WINE will gladden one’s hearts – the human spirit being

The OIL – Speaks of The ANOINTING: The OIL will cause one’s face to shine and radiate the glorious presence of God’s ENDOWMENT and ENDUEMENT in one’s being.

The BREAD – Speaks of The WORD: The BREAD will STRENGTHEN one’s heart – the human spirit being, to meet the demands of doing life and living godly of God in Christ Jesus.

And when the above mentioned three endowments and enduement abide and abound in our day–to- day living, then doing LIFE and GODLINESS are done [enacted and authenticated] in grace with ease and in leisure, satisfaction, and purpose, which will result in the meaningful fulfilment we so much desire – way over, above and beyond the limiting elements of – stress, depression, pain , hurt, pressure, fear, complex and such like that hunt us.

IT’S TIME TO ENSURE YOUR ASSURED REDEMPTION DEED IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE THREE NEEDFULS AS MENTIONED

Know today that it’s one thing to be BLESSED – and it’s another thing to KNOW you’ve been BLESSED – and it’s another thing to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN being BLESSED in REDEMPTION by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I pray you make time today and even now, to crave for these enabling to be a part of your day-to-day living in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Be BLESSED!

SELAH – PAUSE And Think!

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“Let thy GARMENTS be ALWAYS WHITE; and let thy HEAD lack no OINTMENT” Ecclesiastes 9:8.

Further Scriptural Reading: 2 Peters 1:2-4; Ecclesiastes 9:8; Acts 2:1-21.

SUMMARY:

The message emphasises the importance of understanding and possessing the blessedness of God in redemption, which is not just about physical blessings but spiritual empowerment.

Key points:

The blessedness of God is not just physical but spiritual, enabling believers to succeed, excel, achieve, and innovate in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3, Proverbs 10:22).

To maintain and sustain the blessedness, believers need to possess three key ingredients: the Wine (Holy Spirit), Oil (Anointing), and Bread (Word) (Psalms 104:15, Joel 2:19).

These ingredients help believers to:

Gladden their hearts (Holy Spirit)

Shine with God’s presence (Anointing)

Strengthen their hearts (Word)

When these ingredients abide and abound, believers can live a life of ease, satisfaction, and purpose, overcoming stress, depression, and other limiting elements.

Believers are encouraged to crave and possess these enabling elements in their day-to-day living, knowing they are blessed and empowered in Christ Jesus.

The message emphasises the importance of knowing, maintaining, and sustaining the blessedness of God, and encourages believers to pause and reflect on their redemption deed in Christ Jesus.

REDEMPTION BLESSEDNESS

April 11, 2026 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

REDEMPTION BLESSEDNESS: THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT – HE’S YOUR REALITY FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW!

“Christ has REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit [Holy Spirit] through faith” Galatians 3:13-14

Now that you are REDEEMED of God and lavished with the precious Holy Spirit of PROMISE in His BLESSEDNESS in the grace, it’s time you don’t only believe but by faith resolve to act accordingly, as He’s here for all and it’s irrespective; and He’s lavishly and abundantly given to us without prejudice, sentiments, and dissimulation.

“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been ABUNDANTLY POURED out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/Amplified.

It’s time to get DRUNK with the Holy Spirit for you to sing out your own Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and speak forth gracious wholesome [total] words, and sound coherent words, and making melodies to the Lord. For those who were REDEEMED sang a NEW sung and expressed it boldly in the grace instead of their old sung as when in their Sin and bondages of the enemy [Satan] and cohorts. And Jesus spoke gracious words and sang in Hymns and spiritual songs as our living example in humanity, and not the song of the depraved world that leads to defeats, sorrows and pains amid life challenges.

“DO NOT GET DRUNK WITH WINE, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and CONSTANTLY guided by Him. 19 Speak to one another in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, [offering praise by] singing and MAKING MELODY with your heart to the Lord; 20 always GIVING THANKS to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 being SUBJECT to one another out of REVERENCE for Christ” Ephesians 5:18-21/Amplified.

“And they SANG A NEW SONG, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have REDEEMED us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

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

“And when they had SUNG A HYMN, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Matthew 26:40 [Mark 14:26].

You can’t afford to know you are now REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus in the grace and still remain in your old ways, in your unregenerate old songs, old beliefs, and such like, of living without God in this world; especially in the midst of our redemption possibilities as being made available, our reality and being assured by the Holy Spirit of promise. You’ve got no one to blame if you continue in your old song in the path of darkness, while the Holy Spirit of grace, who is now lavishly GIVEN to us, is there to ensure the assured redemption in the grace is readily available for you and all in love.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5.

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of TRUTH, whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it neither SEES Him nor KNOWS Him; but you KNOW Him, for He DWELLS WITH you and will be IN you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you” John 14:15-18.

“So I say to you, ASK, and it will be given to you; SEEK, and you will find; KNOCK, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to those who ASK Him!” Luke 11:9-13 [John 7:7; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8].

The Apostle, on the Pentecost day of RECEIVING the Holy Spirit of promised, were considered to be DRUNK of a NEW WINE by passerby and observers of that day; for their experience of RECEIVING Him as promised made them be seen or nicknamed a drunk people of a special NEW WINE. In the passerby’s eyes, they were highly intoxicated people with a kind of WINE that’s not common, in that it was making sense for goodness and the good and healthy living, and not the HYPE TYPE that keeps one as an idiotic person to be staggering on the roads, speaking jargons and incoherent statements ,and falling apart in gutters, and requiring a rescue and at an extreme cases a rehabilitation for normalcy to be restored for the individual, family, community and society’s good and goodness.

“When the DAY OF PENTECOST had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it FILLED the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit and began to SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. 5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them SPEAK in his own language. 7 Then they were all AMAZED and MARVELED, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them SPEAKING in our own TONGUES THE WONDERFUL WORKS of God.” 12 So they were all AMAZED and PERPLEXED, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” 13 Others mocking said, “THEY ARE FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13.

I’m not here teaching you or telling you about wine or no wine, lest we go out of context. I’m endeavouring to inform you about the person of the Holy Spirit and His works in a Believer’s life in the grace. And the need to receive Him as the promised blessedness in our redemption in Christ Jesus, and the necessity to know about Him before you fall into adulteration, falsehoods, distortion and religious made-up inclinations of men who tend to become intermediaries because of your own ignorance and lack of knowledge of Him in the grace. For the then passerby observers attributed to the Apostles as being drunk of Him – the NEW WINE, and they were the first early recipients of Him, the Holy Spirit of promise. And here are a few Scriptural contexts to take away, but not limited to, on what it means to be DRUNK in the world, besides the Holy Spirit in essence.

“Wine is a MOCKER, STRONG drink a RIOTOUS BRAWLER; And whoever is INTOXICATED by it is not wise” Proverbs 20:1/Amplified.

“Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way [of the Lord]. 20 Do not ASSOCIATE WITH HEAVY DRINKERS of wine, Or with GLUTTONOUS eaters of meat, 21 For the HEAVY DRINKER and the glutton will come to poverty, And the DROWSINESS [of OVERINDULGENCE] will clothe one with rags . . . 29 Who has WOE? Who has SORROW? Who has STRIFE? Who has COMPLAINING? Who has WOUNDS without cause? Whose EYES are red and dim? 30 Those who LINGER LONG over wine, Those who go to TASTE MIXED wine. 31 Do not look at wine when it is RED, When it SPARKLES in the glass, When it goes down smoothly. 32. At the last it BITES like a SERPENT And STINGS like a VIPER. 33 Your [drunken] eyes will SEE strange things And your MIND will UTTER PERVERSE things [UNTRUE things, TWISTED things]. 34 And you will be [as UNSTEADY] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea, And [as VULNERABLE to disaster] as one who lies down on the TOP of a ship’s mast, saying, 35 “They STRUCK me, but I was not HURT! They BEAT me, but I did not FEEL it! When will I wake up? I will seek more wine” Proverbs 23:19-21, 29-35.

The promised HOLY SPIRIT, He’s our reality, to enjoy the fulness of all about our REDEMPTION in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus in this grace, generation, and dispensation. I urge you to take advantage of today’s knowledge and synchronise your faith to receive Him today and now, instead of chasing shadows and become a prey and victim because of your ignorance in knowing and understanding the truth that sets free in the grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“My PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will REJECT you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore SHEOL has ENLARGED itself And OPENED ITS MOUTH BEYOND MEASURE; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER (COMFORTER, ADVOCATE, INTERCESSOR—COUNSELOR, STRENGTHENER, STANDBY) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Savior], and about righteousness, and about judgment: 9 about sin [and the true nature of it], because they do not believe in Me [and My message]; 10 about righteousness [personal integrity and godly character], because I am going to My Father and you will no longer see Me; 11 about judgment [the certainty of it], because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged and condemned. 12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear [to hear] them now. 13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future]. 14 He will glorify and honor Me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will take from what is Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Because of this I said that He [the Spirit] will take from what is Mine and will reveal it to you” John 16:7-15.

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH

November 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH: IT’S NOT A RELIGION!

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch” Acts 11:25-26.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is not a RELIGION; It’s only a RELIGION to you or to a person, when the HOLY SPIRIT is not your GOVERNOR and the LEADER of your being, and you are not being built-up by God’s WORD, in doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that HATH the Son hath LIFE; and he that HATH NOT the Son of God HATH NOT LIFE” 1 John 5:11-12.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH it’s of the life and person of God in Christ Jesus. When you take off CHRIST from the word CHRISTIAN you have “IAN”, meaning “I AM NOTHING”. So, what makes the Christian in his or her Christian FAITH to be of tremendous value and worth, is the experience of God’s graciousness and gracefulness, to life and godly living, in Christ Jesus within the person. In Christ Jesus, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a person and personality, and it’s not an idea or myth or object or any such like.

“And how I kept BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

So then, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward the person of our Lord Christ Jesus; And by this act of faith, we ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION wherein one is unveiled to the ETERNAL LIFE that’s available to any – in the realm of eternity, the timeless timeline of God. [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12]. And in Christ Jesus, there’s no sectarianism and denominationalism of any kind – but the FAITH that’s working – in operative and energised, through the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:26-29].

Therefore, if you do think that the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a religion as many and dictionary had classified it like other set religions in the world, you need to rethink again and redefine your known information about divinity in the living and alive person of God in Christ Jesus [1 John 5:7; Hebrews 7:23-25; Colossians 1:27; Philippians 1:20-21; Galatians 2:20-21].

Be blessed in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, almost thou persuadest me to be a CHRISTIAN. 29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds” Acts 26:27-29.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“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.

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 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.

“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.

“For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence . . . 8 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 1:5, 8.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKETH such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.
