THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND

June 12, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND – POSSIBLE BY OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: THAT’S WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

Everyone wants the best of God in all they do and wants to do in life and godly living; but not everyone wants to be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH end as expected of all who WANTS the best out of God and to be FULFILLED in all about life and living godly. This I have known and have come to realise in course of time in dealing with many in the FAITH-BASED SURGERY COUNSELING on day by day basis. Some don’t want to share and partake in PRINCIPLE the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled in God in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the  main switchboard.

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and HAVING IN A READINESS TO REVENGE ALL DISOBEDIENCE, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

It was in OBEDIENCE that our Saviour and Lord keyed into, while in humanity, to become the author of eternal salvation toward all who  intend in God to experience same like FULFILMENT, in FAITHFULNESS and all GOODNESS to DIVINELY driven PURPOSE as it’s written concerning our Lord Jesus Christ:

“. . . 7 Who in THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 THOUGH HE WERE A SON, YET LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED; 9 and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec”  Hebrews 5:1-10.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

I learnt very early in my Christian life that REBELLION to the CAUSE of God is as equivalent to the sinful consequences apportion to one entangled with WITCHCRAFT and even STUBBORNNESS. This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship. And some believer’s have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship civility and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION. While some claim to acknowledge it, yet in OBEDIENCE to the scriptural demands to enable them TRIUMPH and be VICTORIOUS in life and godliness, are always find wanting, by their impatience as found in King Saul to act without minding that the consequences therein are sometimes fatal and irreversible. 1 Samuel 15:22-24; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, because the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, works timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. He knows he has a short time to parade around, and needs to recruit many to be a part of his fallen state destination. And one great old tricks attributes he has and have always use and succeed, is to make people disobey the CAUSE of God in their life’s. He tried it with Adam through Eve in Eden and it works. Over the years he has fought heard to ensure many fall shorts of obeying God’s heavenly mandate upon their life’s. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN. 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11.

When one turns into using physical process in a set spiritual warfare, you give the ENEMY and COHORTS of your FAITH journey with God, the permission to obstruct your path of obeying the heavenly mandate. Fighting spiritual warfare in the flesh – in the sense instincts of – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching/feeling and tasting, will always allude one from the VICTORY and TRIUMPH earnestly designed of God for His people in everyway and places. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:3-5; Isaiah 54:13-17.

It is in OBEDIENCE that we find PLEASURE and fulfilment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we made to inherit of God. One key principle of OBEDIENCE, is the attitudes of having PATIENCE OF HOPE – 1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 6:12. When our FAITH is in obedience motion, to God’s heavenly mandate, we need to set PATIENCE with HOPE in the CAUSE of doing life and living godly; otherwise, we will end up like King Saul, for his impatience to wait for Prophet Samuel arrival to carry on the expected according to God’s detailed instructions. When we are in HASTE to become in life, against God’s time scale as King Saul was, we are bound to undermine our DIVINENLY giving instructions to satisfy the FLESHY Demand which works against God’s given instructions. And that’s the danger of many today. Attributing GAIN as GODLINESS. What a wrong concept to measure and legislate spirituality in heavenly mandate of God by GAINS instead of being faithful to fulfil PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE. For then you can SET THE VICTORY and TRIUMPH STAND, by OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS IN PROSPERITY, and their YEARS IN PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings:but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in burnt OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and TO HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is AS the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED the word of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . .9 But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3-6.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE

June 12, 2024 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 prevail;

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 oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.

“. . . 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’s purpose and cause is of God and it’s 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, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on 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.

OVERCOMING RESENTMENT

April 23, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

OVERCOMING RESENTMENT: PRAY FOR THOSE THAT HURT, DESPISED AND UNDERMINED YOU – FOR IT THUS WORKS!

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

Are you still BROODING and BROWSING In RESENTMENT? Do you desire to be FREE INDEED and experience true FREEDOM and DAILY TRIUMPH? There’s An ANSWER today for you. And I pray that you might have the WILL to let GOD be PLEASED and let GO of RESENTMENT, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And PLEASING God is responding to His WORD accordingly by FAITH and not by REACTING which is a mark AGAINST His WORD perception that’s contrary to your sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy/hypocritical), which tends to rebellion.

RESENTMENT – means a bitter indignation at having been treated unfairly, unjustly, poorly and such like. RESENTMENT is killing relationship at all levels, destroying families, ruining a healthy governance, destroying community and neighborhoods, creating ministerial discord and schism, and worst of all – it’s robbing many of ANSWERS to their PRAYERS from the Father God.

The feeling can be caused by several different circumstances and situations, however, they all involve a sense of injustice or wrongdoing from an individual. For example, public humiliation, constant discrimination or prejudice, being taken advantage of, feeling unrecognised, envy and jealousy and such like can all result in RESENTMENT.

The best ANTIDOTE to overcome and live triumphantly over and above RESENTMENT is to PRAY for the one you are RESENTING against. The act of PRAYER enables you to EXERCISE FAITH, which PLEASES God; and when you PLEASE God, He makes even your ENEMIES to be at PEACE with you and to WORK for your good. And PLEASING God by FAITH means you have the sense to FORGIVE and equally FORGET, that is, to let GO off you – no matter what and to let in God be – by taking care of such a matter on your behalf – Mark 11:22-26.

There’s the need to know full well, that God makes all things to work together for our good in everyway in Christ Jesus stead; this He has done in Christ Jesus, by JUSTIFYING – FORGIVING and FORGETTING, DISCHARGING and ACQUITTING – us of wrong doings, by in washing away, erasing off, letting go off our sin and it’s effect on us, by nailing them all – on the CROSS of our REDEMPTION. Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13; Micah 7:18-19.

My wife once SOLD to me the Wisdom Nugget that I BOUGHT from her that SPIRITED up my journey in grace in this regards, which is this:

“When you truly BELIEVE to have ANSWERS to your PRAYERS by Father God, you’ll discover that you CAN’T RESENT against the person you are always PRAYING for no matter what; but you will ALWAYS RESENT towards the person you don’t PRAY for and not always have in PRAYERS, no matter the circumstances that lies in-between in you – hence there’s the need to PRAY, to cancel RESENTMENT”

This bought over WISDOM NUGGET of hers concept by grace, has become the motto that shapes our life the more. This gracious concept I have learnt from my wife, and it has always works and still works today and even now. Give it a goal today, even now where you can.

I repeat – Give it a goal today, right now and you will be truly BLESSED in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“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.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . . 24 Therefore I say unto you, What THINGS SOEVER ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, if ye have OUGHT AGAINST ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your trespasses. 26 But if ye DO NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses” Mark 11:22-26.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do good to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publican so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT, even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT”. Matthew 5:43-48.

“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Let love be WITHOUT dissimulation. ABHOR that which is evil; CLEAVE to that which is good. 10 Be KINDLY AFFECTIONED one to another with brotherly love; in honour PREFERRING one another; 11 not SLOTHFUL in business; FERVENT in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 BLESS them which persecute you: BLESS, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 RECOMPENSE to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto wrath: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, FEED him; if he thirst, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:9-21.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, and A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I say unto you, That ye RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall SMITE thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away” Matthew 5:38-42.

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]

April 3, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead. However, it’s operations in the Believer’s life, depends on the individual to make it happen within the pure context of the given redemption rights and privileges, and not in anywhere irrespective.

“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 2:24.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the FLESH – FIVE SENSES [SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL]. Otherwise, there will be wars and infighting within oneself because of the wanting desire that’s born through the cravings of a lustful spirit that’s not ruled, governed, controlled and lead by the TRIUMPH Spirit of dominion.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, but by the by the WORD of God, through our human spirit [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise known and called a supernatural being, because the human spirit is empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you – that indicates that the Super Spirit of God meets up with the natural [human] spirit of man – making the SUPERNATURAL.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to reach out to God, to be in God or to be with God, in the Kingdom cause, in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God. God operates through His WORD and not in a vacuum, hence you can’t do astral travel or astral projection with God as some may – for in doing so, you only contact demons by such sphere not the God of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God through His WORD as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING; and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God. Upon FAITH communication we ensure the assured redemption deed of Christ Jesus in us.

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

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, because in God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. This thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference – For demon’s will always occupy a vacuum hearts not filled up with God’s word [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit – [human spirit] and in the truth – [the Word of God]

“When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT is gone out of a man, he WALKETH through DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it EMPTY, SWEPT, and GARNISHED. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more WICKED than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the LAST state of that man is WORSE than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” Matthew 12:43-45.

“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 placOUmen 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.

The consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** HEAR/HEARING

** SEE/SEEING

** TASTE/TASTING

** SMELL/SMELLING

** FEEL/TOUCH [FEELING/TOUCHING]

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These EFFECTS are as written and experienced in the Scriptures which are of these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]:

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECTS shows up and was experienced at the beginning times by Mrs Eve and Mr Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith [God’s WORD] with God. [Genesis 3:1-7].

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was DEFEATED with his flesh [fleshy] Introductory scheme by the WORD of God that Christ Jesus utilized by Holy Spirit in the lead. [Luke 4:1-13].

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, as satan and cohorts are looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 Peter 5:8-9]. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, The WORD TRIUMPH and a NO WORD then means NO TRIUMPH but DEFEAT and FAILURES and REGRETS; and anything outside the WORD, otherwise it will then be Magic, Sorcery, Traditional belief, dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made make-belief’s, denominational indoctrination, by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DESIRES and DEEDS and EFFECTS of the FLESH through lust.

BE BLESSED.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 2:24.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“. . . 6 And when the woman SAW that the tree was GOOD for FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT to the EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED to make one WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat . . .” Genesis 3:1-7.

“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.

GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR

February 8, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR – THAT’S WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST –  IT’S TRIUMPHANT EVERYWHERE AND EVERY WAY!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail”

** S. Baring-Gould.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest unparalleled force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS. And God has promised to protect, rescue and deliver you – the Church, from the evil in this present world and age. Just let Him be God, and He will honour His WORD as written:

“Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself [as a sacrifice to atone] for our sins [to save and sanctify us] so that He might RESCUE us from this PRESENT EVIL AGE, in accordance with the WILL and PURPOSE and PLAN of our God and Father— 5 to Him be [ascribed all] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5/Amplified.

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

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

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

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness, graciousnesss and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being.

WE ARE God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, the Church Of JESUS CHRIST, with the eternal back up mandate to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, an OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in everywhere and everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore,

CHURCH ARISE!

YOU ARE THE CHURCH!!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!!

AFD FEBRUARY 2024 EDITION

February 1, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY 2024: THE MONTH OF – “TRIUMPHING BY LOVE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. 14 LET EVERYTHING YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE [motivated and inspired by God’s LOVE for us]” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14/Amplified

It’s time to TRIUMPH by the LOVE that GIVES and SERVES, rather than by the LOVE that DEMANDS and RECEIVES and equally lives on ENTITLEMENT as a rights on others. You need to know that it’s written in the Holy writ, that it’s more BLESSED for you and I to GIVE than to RECEIVE. Knowing full well that our Father God so LOVES us, that He GAVE, as a living demonstration that indicates the awesomeness, graciousnesss and gracefulness of genuine love. For a genuine LOVE is a GIVING love and a SERVING love unlike the selfish and self-centred love that’s of a demanding, receiving and entitling love – the love that limits one’s potential to do life and live godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Acts 20:35; John 3:16; Galatians 5:13].

My task this month is to challenge us in our intent by asking this question:

** How will you demonstrate and manifest the God kind of LOVE this Month FEBRUARY 2024 and onwards?

** Are you going to manifest, demonstrate and ensured the LOVE that’s makes you a GIVER and SERVER of love in menus of doing life and living godly or the one whose love in menus, is that which is a DEMANDER and RECEIVER and ENTITLEMENT in perspective?

The choices of the onward and upward trajectory to thrive in TRIUMPH and in daily TRIUMPHANT living, is yours to make and determine if you will operate by the love of God that goes beyond PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead.

I strongly beckoned on you to awake to KNOW THE LOVE of God that’s beyond human sensual reasoning – meaning, that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS the flesh and senses of what you – see, smell, taste, feel or touch, and hear as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead [Ephesians 3:17-19]. It’s a high and higher time to WALK IN THE LOVE that GIVES and SERVES rather than the love that belittles you knowingly and unknowingly by the act of demanding and receiving kinds of love mentality.

We mustn’t forget that Jesus Christ, our saviour and Lord in humanity, left us lots of living examples to follow in His stead, to enable us live TRIUMPHANTLY as He did. Firstly, He loves to the end His worker’s – the Disciples (witness /witnesses) that turned Apostles (messenger/representatives) in the cause of time [John 13:1-2; 30-31]; He instructed us to love our enemies and pray for them in love irrespective – [Matthew 5:38-48]; He instructed us to live and walk in Love, for thereby others may see us as His followers and living epistles of the word and then seek after our God in Him – [John 13:1-2, 34-35; John 15:8-14]. What a profound legacy for us in humanity. That makes us inexcusable in every measures.

It’s a high time that you begin a new journey  of an onward and upward trajectory, to enable you to experience and walk in the  LOVE of God, which is the hallmark and the more excellent way to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead triumphantly – and that’s by the – GIVING LOVE and SERVING LOVE – in Christ Jesus. Amen [Ephesians 5:1-2; 1 Corinthians 12:31].

Genuine love is about GIVING and SERVING others irrespective. And it’s time to think and act differently in matters of God’s kind of love, which always it’s about the terms of – SERVICE or SERVING and GIVING. Thus indicates that whenever the word – LOVE – runs through your inner subconscious being, think and act – GIVING and SERVING and not DEMANDING and TAKING (RECEIVING) and ENTITLEMENT.

The genuine TRIUMPHANT LOVE of God – DOESN’T DEMAND for LOVE; it instead, GIVES LOVE, SERVES LOVE – and by LOVE and in LOVE, it LOVES others irrespective. TRIUMPHANT LOVE, is a LOVE GIVING and LOVE SERVING love by the act of LOVE in everything about all it’s operations in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 16:13-14; John 3:16; Ephesians 5:1-2]. And TRIUMPHING BY LOVE, is the MOST and MORE EXCELLENT WAY to live and do life with God together and with others in humanity, and under God’s kingdom causes, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. [1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].

I pray that you come to know of a fact that it’s also possible you can GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING services to others – [meaning it’s possible to give, serve and render services] WITHOUT LOVE, but you CAN’T be a carrier, representative and vessel of God’s genuine kingdom minded person that’s TRIUMPHING BY LOVE without being captivated with the GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING of the services of in grace – [meaning you can’t love without being a giver and server and renderer of services]. For the Love of God is more than just to give (giving) and to take (taking) as some may think in their concept of give and take world; but it’s purely in the GIVING as in [John 3:16; Acts 20:35]; and also in the SERVING as in  [Galatians 5:13], as it’s written, it’s more BLESSED to GIVE in love than to RECEIVE; and to SERVE one another by love, in the grace, irrespective. [Acts 20:35; Galatians 5:6, 13].

Know also that, the scenario and idea of rendering CHARITY on CHARITABLE CAUSES can’t be attributed genuinely as God’s love or people’s loving others, simply because SERVICES attributed to love are rendered. People will do anything to fill up the statuesque of love, for their own selfish reasons – and sometimes it could be to probably avoid paying their shared taxes to the state in the name of doing charitable cause, thereby evade their responsibility and accountability, or for some is to gain applaud and hypes opportunities for popularity from the vulnerable for political or position purposes, or for some to win and blindfolds someone else’s hearts for selfish gratifications in exchange, or for some to give them the enabling to control, manipulate, oppress and gain upper hands popularity over others, or for some and many such like – it’s the reason which is best known to the cause of such act to express their hypothetical, prejudice and sentimental and hypocritical act of giving and serving to indicates a dislike to others in their faces.

However, when services [serving and giving] it’s genuine, and TRIUMPHING BY LOVE engineered, you see flawless and the gracious characteristics and concept wherein prejudice, sentiment and dissimulation are kept at bay intentionally and pragmatically for the good of all [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:8-15].

Make it your signature today that the hallmark and the more excellent way of ensuring in you TRIUMPHING BY LOVE is known through – GIVING and SERVING – the rendering SERVICE to others, in the love of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And to know  that – God is love. And He wants us to live out His nature in full as Jesus Christ did in humanity. And that it’s possible when we allow the Holy Spirit of promised that He had given us to make it possible and to help us take charge and control of realisation and to bring triumphing by love to fruition in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 1 John 4:4, 6, 8, 16, 18].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you will manifest and genuinely live TRIUMPHANTLY, thereby TRIUMPHING BY LOVE in everything, and everywhere, and everyway, by God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15.

“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/Amplified.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER” Galatians 5:6, 13.

“Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. 14 LET EVERYTHING YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE [motivated and inspired by God’s love for us]” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14/Amp.

“And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM; and they that EXERCISE AUTHORITY upon them are called BENEFACTORS. 26 But ye shall NOT BE SO: but he that is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER; and he that is CHIEF, as he that doth SERVE. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that SERVETH? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that SERVETH” Luke 22:25-27 [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT

January 23, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT: DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and THIS IS the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

I learnt early in my Christian walk in Christ Jesus stead, by the various factors and happenings and challenges that came my way that VICTORY and TRIUMPH is possible in Christ, when I hold on to my FAITH in the context of the Scriptures, because FAITH goes killing GIANTS when all things comes to a HALT. Hence, I am emboldened to say to you emphatically today – DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH, NO MATTER WHAT BESIEGE and BETIDE YOU AS ITS CALLED TODAY. For God will give you the enabling assurance in His grace, to ensure you can ABOUND and ABASED in everyway in Christ Jesus stead, in order to ensure you are fulfilled in everyway in His grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have LEARNED, in whatsoever STATE I am, therewith to be CONTENT. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am INSTRUCTED both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

You need to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS first, final and utmost aim day and night against you is always on your FAITH and nothing else – more or less; for the enemy and cohorts knows the powerful effect of your faith against it’s works and more so, in the knowing that by FAITH you are JUSTIFIED and by FAITH you have ACCESS to God to stand in the grace wherein you can thrive, live and reign in life no matter how many times you fall and fail in things as long as you are steadily steady and keep keeping on, focus on Christ Jesus on your redemption rights and privileges in Him.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

And all the intent of the enemy and cohorts activities toward you, is nothing else, but ALL about, for you to just GIVE UP on your FAITH on your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus, and he will then takes over you and by then you are DONE away with, from all the OTHER meaningful, purposeful and colourful things such as your – Relationship, Career, Business, Finance, Health, Family and such like. In essence, the ENEMY and COHORTS are out to MESS up your FAITH and DISCONNECT you from God in Christ Jesus, in order to give them ACCESS to ruin every other matters about you. Hence you need to be sober, alert , vigilant and steadfast in the FAITH as it’s written in the Holy writ.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his ETERNAL GLORY by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURE, COMPLETE), STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

And by you taking a FAITH stand in your redemption in Christ Jesus upon the WORD of God, you can turn ANY MESS UP of today into a MESSAGE by ANCHORING and SYNCHRONIZING your FAITH steadfastly in God on every GOOD THING DONE IN YOU by Christ Jesus. Amen.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

Hence, you must know that your FAITH is PRECIOUS and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for you to guard it jealously and steadfastly. 2 Peter 1:1-2; Proverbs 4:23.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT, YOU NEED NOT GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY – IT’S THE HALLMARK OF LIVING THE EXALTED AND TRIUMPHANT AND THRIVING AND PURPOSEFUL AND MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLING LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

The enemy and cohorts Knows that your FAITH is the only PRECIOUS and CHIEF TREASURE to WRITE and REWRITE your story from the state of:

** Disappointment to appointment

** Failure to success

** Sickness to healing and health

** Poverty to prosperity

** Sin to righteousness

** Disgrace to grace

** Mess to Message

** Shame to fame

** Curse to blessing

** . . . And much more such like.

Your FAITH is your VICTORY and TESTIMONY over ALL matters of doing life and living godly for these simple and awesome reason though not limited to these only:

* It’s the MYSTERY of grace to TRIUMPH

* It’s the stirring gear to Living THE GREATER LIFE.

* It pleases God and it’s reward is AWESOMELY AWESOME.

* It’s your EARTHLY currency to cause the HEAVENLY to answer your EARTHLY demands.

* It’s the Father God recommended CONTACT in Christ Jesus, to reach Him expressly.

* It’s your ARMOURY to put to flight your ENEMY & COHORTS master plans.

* It’s your creative tool to ACHIEVE, THRIVE, REJUVENATE and to define the ATMOSPHERE you loves to see and enjoy.

* For FAITH is NOW, to help ease any earthly transactions with the heavens.

* . . . And many many such like acts and doings.

Therefore TREASURE your FAITH. DON’T GIVE IT UP or GIVE UP ON IT for whatsoever REASON.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING – MEDITATING – IN CONTEXT:

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and THIS IS the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Galatians 3:11, Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38].

“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by IT the elders OBTAINED a GOOD report. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which do APPEAR . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him [God]: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/Emphasis Mine.

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

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

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

“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.

YEAR AND JANUARY 2024 – DARE TO LIVE

January 10, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

YEAR AND JANUARY 2024 – DARE TO LIVE: FEAR AND WORRY NOT – BUT DARE TO BECOME BY FAITH!

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

In the dawn year and month, January 2024, it’s your time to consciously and intentionally resolved to live, to fear and worry not, to dare to become by faith, because He who RULES AND REIGNS in the Kingdom of men is your God. And by Him you can TRIUMPHANTLY thrive in BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And by redemption we had secured VICTORY and TRIUMPH in Christ Jesus, in God the Father, over the spirit of fear and it’s effects, in all phases of doing of Life and living godly.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 And DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

You must DARE to start your DAWN Month JANUARY, the first month of the YEAR 2024, of the current DECADE 2020’S on a very high note. It’s time to DARE all FEAR PHOBIAS by the FAITH that’s born in your inner spirit being, of the grace and BLESSEDNESS of God, that LIVES within you. This is the only way to BECOME and BE what God in Christ Jesus has made you to  BECOME in REDEMPTION, especially now in YEAR 2024 – the YEAR of “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS! Amen.

“. . . 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 . . . “ Matthew 9:27-29.

You must ARISE in GRACE upon the STAND wherein you are JUSTIFIED, and then DARE your FEAR with FAITH in God, as inspired, revealed and empowered by the Holy Spirit in the WORD; this stead and stand will enhance your NOW – TODAY and set your TOMORROW ready for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory ALTITUDE.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

Taking the stand by grace upon the justified status in redemption by FAITH, is to help ensure and to assure us that FEAR of any kind must submit to you because of your being TRIUMPHANT in EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS; as such, these likely characteristics of fear and it’s effects, needs to be checked before one is overwhelmed by it’s presence:

** FEAR is the enemy and cohorts POLICING OFFICER – that is – the policing vehicle of darkness at war to captivate your FAITH of becoming whom God has made you to be.

** FEAR has the enabling tacts of robbing one of the potential and the purpose of accomplishment and fulfilment.

** FEAR creates insecurity, it captivates, robs one of self-esteem, self-defense, self-Worth and dignity.

** FEAR has the capacity to destroy life vision and mission.

** FEAR can cripple and paralyse you, rob you of hope, faith and love in life and godly living. For it intimidates and makes you inferior or with inferiority complex.

** FEAR can eventually leads to the death of anything be it human or projects, relationships, business and such likes.

The only way to police fear and keep fear at bay, that is, where it belongs is by FAITH. FAITH  built on the WORD of God. For FAITH is acting correspondingly on whom and what you POSSIBLY BELIEVE on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus. When you BELIEVE in the possibility that God can make you better and great; and you BELIEVE in the cause and course of God’s WORD to make you better and great: For FEAR will always disappears, whenever FAITH shows up as one that has come to take it’s place in you in full. Know for sure that anytime and whenever Faith shows up, Fear is paralyzed and crippled from functioning.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT [MATURED, COMPLETE, WHOLE], that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE in this world. 18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: BECAUSE FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not made PERFECT [MATURED, COMPLETE, WHOLE] in LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.

For FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH in the world of daily fears, worries and insecurity. FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH for the Security and Self-Worth of who you are in God by Christ Jesus. FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH is important, as it’s built upon the LOVE of God that lubricates the operation [Galatians 5:6]. FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH in order to overcome the fears that’s psychological and emotional in many ways towards us, especially on matters of what to –  EAT, DRINK and PUT ON, and such like. And God has dealt to everyone THE MEASURE of FAITH by His GRACE to live life triumphantly and wholly in everyway.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 FOR WHATSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“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.

Just for your assurance in ensuring BEING TRIUMPHANT is assured, that there are over 365 Scriptures of FEAR NOT in the Holy Writ – The BIBLE. And the scriptural assurance of the VICTORY and TRIUMPH over FEAR, thus indicate there’s a more than enough FEAR NOT scripture for each day; therefore FEAR NOT, that’s the living and soaring spirit of the Eagle to rule and reign in DOMINION and EXALTATION for THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus.

Beloved friend, in Christ Jesus, we had being made FREE from any form of FEAR phobia, by BECOMING human that we might be FREE indeed in Him. DARE NOW TO BECOME BY FAITH in the ASSUREDLY YEAR of BEING TRIUMPHANT IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS according to the SCRIPTURES. I therefore say again:

DARE your FEAR with the FAITH of the GRACE of God wherein you STAND in the same grace JUSTIFIED to have ACCESS to God that LOVES you and LIVES in you. This is the only way to BECOME and BE what God in Christ Jesus has made you BE in His REDEMPTION. Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the WORLD. And this is the victory that has OVERCOME the WORLD — our FAITH. 5 Who is he who OVERCOMES the world, but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4-5).

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

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

“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . .  . 71 that we should be SAVED from our enemies, and from the hand of all that HATE us . . . 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE him WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, ALL THE Days OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

Further Scriptural Reading For Meditation: Luke 1:68-75; Isaiah 49:24-26; Isaiah 43:1-7; Ephesians 1:7-8; Isaiah 54:14-17; Luke 12:4-7, 22-32.
