January 18, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

EXPERIENCING AND ENSURING – THE WORK AND THE EFFECT – OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS: THESE ARE PEACE – QUIETNESS – ASSURANCE – AND JOY – IN THE HOLY GHOST!

“For the KINGDOM of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in THESE things SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:17-18.

The SYNERGY to STAND – being ASSURED – and ENSURED – of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus – is by EXPERIENCING and ENSURING the WORK and the EFFECT of – God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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

There’s nothing as beautiful, lively, lovely, gracious and graceful to know that every step of one’s journey, there’s God’s ENSURING, ENRICHING and ASSURING INSURANCE – ALL the WAY. This is the graciousness and gracefulness of LIVING IN THE POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPHANT DEFAULT in the CONSCIOUSNESS of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. For RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS in every way in the kingdom. You can boldly lift up your hands in WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP unashamed, unafraid, without intimidation and guilt, and genuinely free within because YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus and not by yourself and or making. Amen.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but SIN is a reproach (Setback, Mayhem, Shame) to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

And you need to know, understand and be aware that there’re the WORK of RIGHTEOUSNESS and the EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in one’s life as a consequence of what Christ Jesus had done in our redemption. And it’s in our living in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS that enables one’s path to be ORDERED, ENHANCED and have the ASSURED and INSURED POSSIBILITIES and TRIUMPH in all the way through the year with God.

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

So, get on the board and follow the PATH that enables you to DO and WORK the RIGHTEOUS ACTS so that you can experience and ensure the fullness of God who is no respecter of persons as men would do. For YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. You Must Take A STAND Of Being ENSURED AND ASSURED Of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS In CHRIST JESUS.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That SHINES brighter and brighter until [it REACHES its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT day” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified.

I pray that as you stand on this GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL act of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the Lord God will PERFECT, MATURE, ESTABLISH and SETTLE you in the EXALTED place in Christ Jesus precious name, Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But seek ye FIRST the KINGDOM of God, and his RIGHTEOUSNESS; and ALL these things shall be ADDED unto you” Matthew 6:33.

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT of righteousness QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever” Isaiah 32:17.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but SIN is a reproach (Setback, Mayhem, Shame) to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.

“For Christ is the END of the LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of FAITH speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:4-10

“Every GOOD gift and every PERFECT gift is from ABOVE, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is NO VARIABLENESS, neither SHADOW of turning. 18 Of his OWN will BEGAT he us with the WORD of truth, that we should be a kind of FIRSTFRUITS of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT to hear, SLOW to speak, SLOW to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:17-20.

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS’ IN CHRIST JESUS

January 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS & PRIVILEGES IN ZION – THE CHURCH!

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

The CHURCH, the City of God, the Embassy, the Mount Zion, is your major life wire to POSSESS, and in POSSESSING your POSSESSIONS in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus. There’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION. However, know full well that you ARE the CHURCH that God is BUILDING by His WORD in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. And, you have to INTENTIONALLY belong also, to the gathering of the Churches of God, of which you are a member in particular, in the place called THERE, wherein there’s a GATHERING in the name of the Father God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. Amen. There you can SERVE God in Christ Jesus ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him accordingly WORTHILY in spirit and truth, as written:

“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 4:23-24.

“Not forsaking the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER [HABIT, BEHAVIOUR] of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

In possessing your Kingdom rights and privileges possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start is THE CHURCH – the ASSEMBLY – the gathering, of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes to THE CHURCH, so goes you and THE NATION, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons.

For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the Church of Christ Jesus in order to BECOME a part. The reason been, the Church, which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly. The order does not grace there will EXPERIENCE includes but not limited are:

* Deliverance from all sorts (you name it).

* Holiness – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.

* Possessing your possessions – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.

Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in His REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written:

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

SCRIPTURAl THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 (Emphasis Mine).

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9 (Emphasis Mine).

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his GRACE, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE AMONG all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

“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 4:20-24.

SPEAKING FORTH TO MOVE ‘THAT’ MOUNTAIN

January 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SPEAKING FORTH TO MOVE ‘THAT’ MOUNTAIN: AND IT’S TIME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR YOUR GOOD!

“A man’s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“And all bare Him (Jesus) witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine.

MOUNTAIN – is considered to be a long standing SPIRITUAL obstacle and PHYSICAL opposition in your path of progress; and in your BECOMING and ACHIEVING your set desired goals in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead of God. And it’s TIME to do the FOOLISH thing, that is – to SPEAK to ‘THAT’ MOUNTAIN obstructing your path of honour, dignity and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“A man shall be SATISFIED with GOOD by the FRUIT of his MOUTH: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him” Proverbs 12:14.

“A man shall EAT GOOD by the FRUIT of his MOUTH: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence” Proverbs 13:2.

FAITH IS ACTING ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE CORRESPONDINGLY TO GOD’S WORD IN ORDER TO BECOME. IT’S TIME TO ACT ON YOUR BELIEVE TO MOVE THAT STANDING MOUNTAIN ON YOUR PATH OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

“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 so ever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:22-24.

Therefore, in moving your named MOUNTAIN, YOUR PART is to BELIEVE in EXERCISING your FAITH on God’s WORD accordingly, while God’s PART is to ANSWER you at the point of your need. And your named MOUNTAIN could be any or combination or none of these:

* Health related issues

* Finance and economic matters

* Emotional and Psychological matters

* Family related matters

* Relationship and Marital issues

* Career/Business and Entrepreneurial matters * Ministry and Ministerial challenges

* Leadership and Governance Affairs

* . . . and such likes which is more peculiar to you.

May I remind you in the light of the SCRIPTURES that you’ve DWELL LONG enough on THIS MOUNTAIN of complaint, murmuring and blame game and such like; and it’s time to surpass and transcend beyond this valley and mountain scheme sphere.

“The Lord our God SPAKE unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have DWELT LONG ENOUGH in this MOUNT . . .” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.

And it’s TIME to make your well-being BE, that’s, to SPEAK TO YOUR NAMED MOUNTAIN on your path of happiness and move on to the next ladder in your life. And herein is a simple PRINCIPLE to apply to do it:

** Firstly, you NEED to Load up – that is – to lay into your spirit being with the relevant SCRIPTURES relative to your MOUNTAIN as men lay-up gold as dust – Job 22:21-30.

** Secondly, you then SPEAK TO IT. And having done that, then STOP talking about it in a hopeless attitude when you truly BELIEVE God at work for you in it. And instruct and give authoritatively a direction of travel to that long STANDING MOUNTAIN and OPPOSITION on your part of THRIVING in FAITH and GRACE – Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

** Thirdly, SPEAK FORTH TO IT, just as one who knows that your LIFE WELL-BEING depends on that mountain MOVING OUT of your path of life, to enable you enter your graciousness and gracefulness in the Lord. Amen – 2 Corinthians 4:13; Romans 10:8-13; Romans 4:17.

** And BEGIN to see through the eyes of the SCRIPTURES your DESIRED ANSWER and not your CIRCUMSTANCES or MOUNTAIN. If you can SEE toward ANSWERS and not toward QUESTIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, then you can POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION in THE WORD – Jeremiah 1:11, 13; Mark 8:23-25.

You need to know full well today, that the so-called MOUNTAIN in your life can be move and made a plain, that is, relocated to abyss; then you can USHER in God’s BEST into your life goals again.

I pray you an ENABLING and EMBOLDENED grace and BLESSEDNESS, to lay hold to your POSSESSIONS in Christ Jesus, in seeing THAT MOUNTAIN move as expected in grace. Amen.

“Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST thou? And I said, I SEE a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast WELL SEEN: FOR I WILL HASTEN MY WORD TO PERFORM IT. 13 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, WHAT SEEST THOU? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north” Jeremiah 1:11-13.

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am REPROVED. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and make it plain upon tables, THAT HE MAY RUN THAT READETH IT. 3 For the VISION is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was SEPARATED from him, LIFT UP now thine EYES, and look from the place where thou art NORTHWARD, and SOUTHWARD, and EASTWARD, and WESTWARD: 15 for all the LAND which thou SEEST, to thee will I GIVE it, and to thy SEED for ever. 16 And I will MAKE thy SEED as the DUST of the earth: so that if a man can number the DUST of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. 17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. 18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord” Genesis 13:14-18.

“Thou art SNARED with the Words of thy MOUTH, thou art taken with the WORDS of thy MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our faith without wavering; for he is FAITHFUL that promised . . . 35 Cast not away therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE of reward” Hebrews 10:23, 35.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING according to his WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hears us, WHATSOEVER we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

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

ENSURING EVERYTHING TO ENABLE YOU BUY INTO THE PRICELESS AND GOODLY PEARL WORD

January 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

ENSURING EVERYTHING TO ENABLE YOU BUY INTO THE PRICELESS AND GOODLY PEARL WORD: THE PREVAILING WORD IS ALL YOU NEED TO ENSURE YOUR YEAR REALITY AND VISIBILITY!

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and SELLETH all that he hath, and BUYETH that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found one PEARL of GREAT PRICE, went and SOLD all that he had, and BOUGHT it” Matthew 13:44-46.

This dawn moment of the year and month start up is a good time to ensure that you buy yourself if you don’t have one, a good REFERENCE and STUDY BIBLE. This is important if you want to ENSURE everything that’s needful to have the PRICELESS and GOODLY PEARL WORD into your spirit being. This will enable you to rule and reign in your worlds of doing life and living godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Buying and owning your own BIBLE, is the utmost and priceless PATH possession that you need to ensure you have, for you to a actualised the reality, visibility and tangibility of the ASSURED WORD of prophecy of the PREVAILING WORD, in the DAWN YEAR that concerns you in every respect.

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, UNTIL THE DAY DAWN, AND THE DAY STAR ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

I therefore COMMEND you to God and to His gracious WORD that can offer and deliver to you, your INHERITANCE in the kingdom, in Christ Jesus, effortlessly and without sweat.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

And may you find insights and foresights in the WORD by the enabling grace of God that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

MIRRORING CHRISTLIKENESS

January 17, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MIRRORING CHRISTLIKENESS: SCRIPTURAL TERMS TO OUR BEING CHRISTLIKE IN REALITIES!

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

It’s very easy for anyone to acclaim being Christlike, the reality is that Apostle Paul, through His writings in the epistles, helps to give us a full Holy Spirit inspired, revealed and empowered insight and foresight of what Jesus Christ is to us and what being Christlike [Christlikeness] encompasses. And I am here sharing on how you can scripturally know and understand what in the New Creation, being Christlike entails from the writings of Apostle Paul and other Epistles writers, to enable you to live and actualised tangibly and in reality, the Christlikeness.

Take a glimpse of the Philemon 1:6 scriptures. It gives insight that, one can only be effectual [productive, result oriented], when our Faith communication [declaration, sharing, announcing etc.], is coming from our ability [capacity] to the acknowledgement of the good done IN us [being done through us, being done with us] which is IN Christ Jesus [not the devil’s and demons and Satan’s doings that most of us sees and acknowledge daily and talk about]. The context word is ‘IN’ you ‘IN’ Christ Jesus. And it’s in the acknowledging, enacting and authenticating these scriptural contexts and such like, that makes our definition, and indicates the how to being Christlike – to live in the person of Christlikeness.

“That the communication (SHARING, FELLOWSHIP) of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis mine).

When you build your being around the good of God that’s done IN you, IN Christ Jesus, you have nothing ever to be crediting and acknowledging to the devil and demons and Satan and cohorts. It’s unfortunate, that most people in their simple acts of prayers are filled up with matters of demons and devils and cohorts as if it’s a wish that the enemy and cohort will always pass through their dwelling places to sign signature daily. – you must never forget that only Father God in Christ Jesus, is OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT and OMNISCIENCE, and the enemy [the devil] and cohort are not, and they can’t be what God is, as people always purported to booster the devil and demon presence almost in every prayers and spoken word about them.

I hereby behold you to make a gracious start up on a good note this year, as I am giving you an assignment that you must be ready to do intentionally, pragmatically and unreservedly; this is to help get into the Christlikeness by your acknowledgement, which is to help you live purposefully, meaningfully and in fulfilling your being Christlike 24/7, otherwise you will be doing religion and denominationalism, sectarianism and such like.

I want you to get your Bible [preferably King James Version] now, because the exercise I am giving you to practically do, is drawn using it; this will enable you get the actual context without alteration by other versions, and you can then afterwards, look through other versions to get the substance of the word to apply without adulteration of the context if you choose.

1 Peter 2:9, 21; 3:18; 5:7
1 John 1:9; 2:1; 3:2, 14; 4:4, 10, 15; 5: 1, 4-5, 11, 12
Revelation 1:5, 6.

When you take time to mark these scriptures and use them as your baseline of prayers and speaking forth who you ARE of God in Christ Jesus, you find out that overtime, your life become what you’ve come to acknowledged by the scriptures thereby creating your reality and tangibility in Christlikeness – being Christlike.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 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 2:1-11.

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.

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

GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU

January 16, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU: YOU NEED NOT LIVE IN WORRY NOR BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING!

“Be ANXIOUS for NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the PEACE of God, which SURPASSES [TRANSCENDS], all UNDERSTANDING, will GUARD your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7/Emphasis Mine.

The year has just begun – to some it’s with excitement and to another with confusion. Herein are some but not limited questions to ponder upon, and if applicable, you have to address for your good and goodness, in order to win the year graciously and gracefully as God’s intent for you:

** Are you ANXIOUS in life for today or probably for your tomorrow?

** Are you being OVERWHELMED with WORRIES?

** Do you think you are LOOSING the plot of life?

** Do you think you are at the VERGE of life, and NOTHING is there for you in the DAWN YEAR?

Beloved in Christ Jesus, you don’t have to GIVE UP so soon, for you are God’s OWN, His SHOWCASE and SHOWROOM ambassador and representative to authenticate and enact that His REDEMPTION plan in Christ Jesus for you on earth, is real for today, tomorrow and forevermore as in the holy writs. Amen.

“Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has GIVEN us THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ RECONCILING the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, that we MIGHT BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.

And, the dawn YEAR is of POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT in Christ Jesus stead for you in God’s BLESSEDNESS; and it’s to be enacted in the grace, wisdom and speed that our God provides and it’s to be taken by FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, IRKSOME). 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 (Emphasis Mine).

DO YOU KNOW WHY NOT WORRY AND BE ANXIOUS?

It’s true that, to Worry and be anxious is real to human living under the sun and its consequences sometimes is dire and can lead and make people go wearisome and depression – resulting a lifelong emotional and physical illness. And for the born of God in Christ Jesus, to WORRY and be in ANXIOUS state is scripturally not permissible; it hinders the HEAVENLY ability to interferes for HELP in one’s EARTHLY affairs. It thus means, it shut one’s good intent from being able to allow the access of the divine intent for accomplishments, in all set plan, purpose and pursuit. So, to being in a WORRY and ANXIOUS state is not permissible for you of God, if you MUST sail, soar and glide in God’s POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT to ensure a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life in the YEAR count. Therefore, Philippians 4:6-7 ADMONISHES us in this context:

“Be ANXIOUS for NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the PEACE of God, which SURPASSES all UNDERSTANDING, will GUARD your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7.

And for this above SCRIPTURAL TRUTH, know full well, that in God’s LOVED-WORLD, you are a PARTARKER of His LOVE and CARES. 2 Peter 1:3-4. I am so certain of God in His LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, that you will be loaded daily with UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE joy in the dawn YEAR; for it is, in His love and care plan for you His family, in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Ephesians 3:14-15; John 3:16; Jeremiah 29:11; 1 Peter 5:6-7. And as you endeavour to live in the consciousness of God’s POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT in Christ Jesus stead, your HORN will be EXALTED in life and godliness.

Also, God in His infinite nature has made a ready plan, purpose and pursuit for you to be happy and joyful in Him. For He has CROWNED the YEAR with His GOODNESS and FRUITFULNESS, such that you can THRIVE and BLOSSOM, have a COLOURFUL, PURPOSEFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING life in Him by Christ Jesus. Amen.

THEREFORE, WORRY NOT OR BE ANXIOUS FOR ANYTHING – FOR GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU – IN HIS LOVED FILLED WORLD – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH MEDITATING:

“Therefore I tell you, stop BEING WORRIED or ANXIOUS (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? . . . 31 Therefore DO NOT WORRY OR BE ANXIOUS (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ . . . 34 “SO DO NOT WORRY about tomorrow; for tomorrow will WORRY about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” Matthew 6:25-34 (Amplified).

“DO NOT BE ANXIOUS OR WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that peace which] stands GUARD over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 (Amplified).

“I know the PLANS I have for you,” declares the Lord, “PLANS to PROSPER you and not to harm you, PLANS to give you Hope and a FUTURE” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV).

“Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths drop fatness (ABUNDANCE, FRUITFULNESS) . . .” Psalms 65:11-13 (Emphasis Mine).

“GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 ACCORDING as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us all things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding GREAT and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“For God so LOVED the WORLD, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“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. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were YET sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the world, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

IT’S A DAWN YEAR – WITH A CHOICE TO MAKE

January 15, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

IT’S A DAWN YEAR – WITH A CHOICE TO MAKE: TO EITHER THRIVE IN GRACE AND FAITH OR TO LIVE AS A SURVIVAL – IN THE ESSENCE OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY!

“And if it seem EVIL unto you to SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord, CHOOSE you this day whom ye will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY]; whether the gods which your fathers SERVED that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for ME and MY HOUSE, we will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord” Joshua 24:15/Emphasis Mine.

Know for sure it’s a dawn year and the choices you make will make and define you. And you need to know that you are born of God to THRIVE in grace and faith in Christ Jesus; and you are not born of God to SURVIVE in doing life and living godly too. And you ARE, the determination and custodian of your happiness, peace and the atmosphere you want to see and experience, not some else, except you give them the permission to make your choices on your behalf – of which, it’s still your choice knowingly and or unknowingly.

I therefore make bold to say that no matter what your SITUATION and CIRCUMSTANCES in life is today, you are not BORN of God to be a SURVIVAL in Christ Jesus; but YOU are BORN of God to THRIVE – to be soaring and gliding in VICTORY, TRIUMPH, DOMINION, A MORE THAN CONQUEROR and OVERCOMER by THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus that is in you in Him [1 John 4:4-6; Philemon 1:6; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Exodus 15:1-2, 2021; 1 Corinthians 15:57].

And in all the year count and round endeavours, it’s your CHOICE to make – to determine to THRIVE or to SURVIVE; and it’s your TIME to step up in GRACE and FAITH to BECOME who you are in God in Christ Jesus stead [Philemon 1:6]; and it’s yours too, to take on WHATSOEVER, in order to BECOME what you are BORN of God and QUALIFIED of God in Christ Jesus stead to be [Mark 11:24], and as per this wise context:

* It’s your time to ARISE on the WIND – The Holy Spirit – to take to flight as the Eagle in turning your life around as God did at the beginning of time; this is when He step up to CREATE the atmosphere He wants to see, be satisfied and fulfilled, from the Earth that was FORMLESS and VOID to make it the World to be admired, colourful, beautiful and such like. [Genesis 1:1-2:1-25; Psalms 24:1; Acts 17:24-29].

* It’s time to SET your life to THRIVE, to have a colourful world, create the atmosphere you want to see, enjoy and to LIVE FULFILLED.

* It’s your YEAR of living in the POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – which is the greater, thriving, colourful, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life.

There are QUESTIONS to think through and ANSWER here – which are but not limited:

** Are you struggling to Pray?

** Are you struggling to Read and Study God’s WORD?

** Is your life being without form and void?

** Are you just SURVIVING instead of THRIVING in grace?

** What do you think is the reason for your stalemate and pain?

In answering the above-mentioned questions and such like that are known by you but are not written or mentioned here – you can then turn your limitations around by the enabling grace of God by FAITH, and by the infinite wisdom and power of our LIMITLESS GOD overall. [Romans 5:1-2; Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5].

I hereby announce to you that there’s HOPE in life today and the dawn year; and there’s a MIRACLE of change for you, but its your CHOICE to step up in FAITH in order to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in God’s way in Christ Jesus stead. I want you to know that when God SAW that the situation and circumstances about Him on earth was WITHOUT FORM and VOID, He determine to make the difference that suits His intent. That is, to CREATE the ATMOSPHERE He wants to see and enjoy and be fulfilled to behold. He didn’t sit back; this is what and how He did to make His desire become tangible and a reality:

* He did not choose to SURVIVE it or ADAPT to it or compromise with it.

* He took RECOGNITION of the presence of our HELPER, the creative Holy Spirit – [Genesis 1:2; Jude 1:20; Romans 8:26-27 (Amplified); John 4:20-24; (Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Philippians 3:3)].

* He chose to THRIVE, hence made a conscious, gracious, graceful and an intentional declaration to create the atmosphere He loves and wants to see irrespective of the STATEMENTS and SITUATIONS about Him. [Genesis 1:1-31; Luke 4:22; Hebrews 10:23; Revelation 12:11; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24; Romans 10:8-10].

* He spoke graciously and gracefully to CAUSE to BECOME what He wants and needed to BECOME, and it was good and very good indeed. [Genesis 1:1-31; Proverbs 12:14; 15:23; 18:20-21; 16:24; Romans 10:9-10; Hebrews 10:23; Like 4:22].

Today! When you chose to PRAY and make DECLARATION and ACT accordingly by FAITH on God’s word, by the LEADING of the Holy Spirit, your CHANGE will assuredly come in Jesus’ name. Amen. Then you take a stand to cease to SURVIVE and to LIVE above what your circumstances wants you to see; while you resolve and begin to LIVE and THRIVE by what you DESIRED of God to see by the eyes of THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE GREATER LIFE within you – [Mark 9:23; Matthew 19:26; 1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 10:8-13]. This is the how to ensure the start up to stop the life of STRUGGLING or SURVIVING through the PRAYER WALK of grace and faith; and to turn the FORMLESS and VOID circumstantial WORLDS into a THRIVING sphere that will be BLOSSOMING, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING.

DO CHOSE WISELY TO MAKE A NEW START TODAY – YOUR YEAR DEFINITION IS IN YOUR CHOICE.

I pray that by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS you will live and soar in POSSIBILITIES, DOMINION and EXALTATION as the Eagle with spirit of THE GREATER LIFE – THE PREVAILING WORD – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the beginning God CREATED the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was WITHOUT FORM, and VOID; and DARKNESS was UPON the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God SAID, Let THERE be light: and THERE was light. 4 And God SAW the light, that it was GOOD. . . “ Genesis 1:1-31.

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

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both THOU and thy SEED may live: 20 that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them” Deuteronomy 30:19-20.

“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 (TRANSLATED) 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 (Emphasis Mine).

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

GOD CROWN’S THE YEAR WITH HIS GOODNESS AND ABUNDANCE

January 14, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GOD CROWN’S THE YEAR WITH HIS GOODNESS AND ABUNDANCE: FOR YOUR WELL-BEING AS BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS]!

“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.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

I herein present to you the God of the realms of timeless timeline who created the timed earth of the dawn year. He’s the uncreated creator, who made all things beautiful in His time and had put ETERNITY into the human heart [spirit] to make the human differ from every created thing. He created the earth for mankind and not mankind for the earth, hence mankind can rule and reign over all things created to oversee under God in Christ Jesus.

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its TIME. He has also planted ETERNITY [a SENSE of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can SATISFY, except God]—yet man CANNOT find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.

Our uncreated creator God, did commissioned man from the beginning to oversee the affairs of the earth as his ambassador and representative [Genesis 1:26-28; 2 Corinthians 5:20]; however, God still remains the Lord God of the earth and all that dwells in the world though man is there represents Him [Psalms 8:4-6; Psalms 24:1].

“What is MAN, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou VISITEST him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the works of thy hands; thou hast put ALL THINGS under his FEET: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and WHATSOEVER passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

Reading from the various Scriptures above, although not limited, I can emphatically inform you that God wants the best for you today and tomorrow and through the year, so long it has to be under the context and concept of His WORD otherwise it’s adulteration, falsehoods and perversions.

I can also say that the God that I do know in Christ Jesus stead, and have come to SERVE unreservedly and acceptably, and to WORSHIP worthily, faithfully, graciously and gracefully – loves you as in all mankind. He cares so much about your worthwhile for which Christ Jesus paid for in our redemption to make it possible. And by the indwelling Spirit within my spirit, through God’s WORD – I know our God is the TRUTH, the LIFE and the WAY.

More so, God is interested in all matters that concerns our doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus as His representative on the earth. Hence, He crowns our time [second, minute, day, week, month and year] with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE to ensure that we thrive and be assured that He’s faithful, true and sure to His promises and commission. [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Psalms 65:11-13; Psalms 118:24; John 4:20-24; John 14:15-17; Romans 8:9, 14; 1 John 4:4-6].

As for BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] in every place in Christ Jesus, our uncreated creator God, who rules and reigns over all of the heavens and the earth, and have made the heavens His dwellings and the earth His footstool; He has made it possible for all mankind as you and me, to dwell on the earth on His behalf as representative to live through year to year triumphantly in the glorious redemption [Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 8:4-8; Colossians 2:15, 2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15:1-21]. It thus means, that the earth is made for man and not man for the earth as the infallible Holy writ enjoined in the Scriptures [Psalms 24:1; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:16-18].

God that crowns the scriptural prophetic assured year [2 Peter 1:19-21; Psalms 118:24] with His goodness and abundance, in that He desires us to prosper, be in health as our souls prospers [3 John 1:2] – for He’s the focus of this my Apostolic themed vision CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS]. For our God, He is not mysterious though a mystery to many who only see Him just for an earthly possession and miracles only, and don’t see Him in essence as the GOD of our redemption – who is to be SERVE acceptably and unreservedly, and to be WORSHIP wholly, worthily and intentionally; for some, He’s not more than anything just beyond the ACTS and MIRACLE enclaves for their needs and substances and vulnerability [Psalms 103:7]. These categories are people whose objectives differ not from the children of Israel who crave after God or sees Him, solely for the ACTS [miracles and daily Bread and manna] that He can provide, while unlike their leader Moses, he crave after God to KNOW Him and His WAY – the PATH to doing life and living godly as the scriptures indicates here though not limited. [Psalms 103:7; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Psalms 36:9]. I behold you to know that there’s the need to know God for who He’s to you rather than what you can just gain and benefit of Him.

“He made KNOWN His WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES, SIGNS] unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7.

Herein are just three notable descriptions and possession of the many of His multi-sided and multifaceted characteristics and NATURE and PERSON of the GOD I want you to know in order to access His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in this YEAR that He has made for us to thrive and be His representative [ambassador]:

OMNISCIENCE – This in essence, thus indicates that our GOD – He is an all-knowing God. Meaning, God is all-knowing in the sense that he is aware of the past, present, and future. Nothing takes him by surprise. His knowledge is total. He knows all that there is to know and all that can be known. That He doesn’t act when you intend Him to act or to behave doesn’t mean He’s unaware of many things happening on the earth in human worlds of doing life and living godly. The universality of God’s knowledge is unequivocal and undisputable in all respects. [Psalms 147:5; John 21:17; Hebrews 4:12-13; 1John 3:20]. God knows detailed happenings on earth, not only in the present, but even in the future – [1 Samuel 10:2; 1 Kings 13:1-4; 2 Kings 8:12; Psalms 139:4; Acts 2:23; Acts 4:27-28].
OMNIPOTENCE – This in essence, thus indicates that our GOD – He is an ALL-POWERFUL God. This means God can do what he wants. It means he is not subject to physical limitations like man is. He’s God, as having supreme and ultimate power in the heavens and earth – [Hebrews 11:3]. And being OMNIPOTENT, God has power over wind, water, gravity, physics and such like. God’s power is infinite, or limitless beyond every human imagination and comprehension. [Psalms 115:3; Isaiah 55:11; Jeremiah 22:7; Genesis 18:14]. His authority rules and reigns supreme, and His sovereignty oversees all creation and beyond in the heaven and the earth.
OMNIPRESENCE – This in essence, thus indicates that our GOD – He is an All-PRESENT God. meaning, He is Everywhere at the same time – This describes Him as JEHOVAH SHAMMAH – [Ezekiel 48:35]. This is His ability to be present everywhere at the same time, an unbounded or universal presence. Omnipresence means minimally that there is no place to which God’s knowledge and power do not extend. Hence it could be said of Him Emmanuel – The God with us – [Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Matthew 28:20]. This term means that God is capable of being everywhere at the same time. It means his divine presence encompasses the whole of the universe. There is no location where he does not inhabit. This should not be confused with pantheism, which suggests that God is synonymous with the universe itself; instead, omnipresence indicates that God is distinct from the universe but inhabits the entirety of it. He is everywhere at once. [Psalms 139:1-18. Acts 17:24-31].

Therefore, in pursuance of the plan, purpose and pursuit for the year apostolic mandate given to me, which I am glad to share with you again as it’s themed – “BEING CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS]” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS; it is a my call to the urgency to help us not to limit God by any measure as the children of Israel did limited God in their redemption context and concept and suffered the consequences without measure for their UNBELIEF in limiting the Holy one of Israel. [Psalms 781-72; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-11]; I want you to know full well of the TRUTH, that God intent for you is to CROWN the YEAR with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. For it is – the DAY that turns into WEEK and the WEEK that into turns into the MONTH and the month that turns into the YEAR – of which God has MADE for you to rejoice and be glad in it; because a thousand years in men’s eyes is a day before God, just as a day before men is as a thousand years to Him – for He dwells in immortality counting in eternity timeless timeline, while men dwells in mortality counting on timed timeline.

“But, BELOVED, be not IGNORANT of this one thing, that ONE DAY is with the Lord as a THOUSAND years, and a THOUSAND years as ONE DAY” 2 Peter 3:8.

“For a THOUSAND years in thy sight are but as YESTERDAY when it is past, and as a watch in the night” Psalms 90:4.

And by FAITH in His eternal WORD, we can synchronised God’s immortality timeline counting with mortality timeline through FAITH in the now [Hebrews 11:1-3]. Hence, UNBELIEF must NEVER have a place with anyone who is in Christ Jesus stead, otherwise we attract what God has not design or fathom for us in Him. For by Faith we have our being, we live, and we go about our day to day by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Acts 17:28; Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 3:12; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:16-17); Romans 10:8-13, 17; 1 John 5:3-5].

And it’s imperative that you know and understand, that God MADE the YEAR for a CROWNING – [ROYALTY, HONOUR, NOBILITY AND DIGNITY] – in His grace for you; and it’s up to you to believe God for who He’s, while your part then is to walk with your head up, shoulders high and on the high heels of faith in Christ Jesus stead – as by His grace and BLESSEDNESS in His REDEMPTION plan and purpose for you. He made everything including you and all Do and all created things – GOOD and BEAUTIFUL [Ecclesiastes 3:11; Revelation 4:11; Psalms 8:4-8; Isaiah 45:11-12]. And He’s ever ready and faithful to keep His good CREATION in that measure in His promise – Hebrews 10:23, 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

God is set in His ASSURING and ENSURING, that everything about YEAR 2024 concerning you, in every of that – mountain and hills are MADE low, Valleys are MADE filled and exalted, Crooked roads of life are MADE straight and while the Rough, rugged and tough places are MADE smooth and gracious – as written in Isaiah 40:3-5.

Therefore, I say that in BEING TRIUMPHANT IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS, that you will not limit yourself in God in Christ Jesus by the same UNBELIEF that the children of Israel did and suffered. I PRAY that you characterised yourself by the – WORK BY FAITH, PATIENCE OF HOPE AND LABOUR OF LOVE – as you do life and live godly by God in Christ Jesus [1 Thessalonians 1:3]. And take in the necessary and needed enabling of God, to go forth and BECOME what you want to be by the WORD in His grace, wisdom and speed in order to PARTAKE in the INHERITANCE for all SANCTIFIED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:3-4; Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12].

HAVE AN AMAZING YEAR THAT’S CROWNED WITH GOD’S BLESSEDNESS .

BE DRUNK IN THE SPIRIT – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

January 14, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BE DRUNK IN THE SPIRIT – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT: IT ENSURES YOU ARE FRESH, REFRESHING AND IN THE BUILDING UP YOUR FAITH-BEING IN CHRIST JESUS!

“And do not get DRUNK with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and STIMULATED with the [Holy] Spirit” Ephesians 5:18 (Amplified).

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP [founded] on your most HOLY FAITH [make progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], PRAYING in the Holy Spirit” Jude 1:20.

Do you want to ensure you are FRESH, REFRESHING and BUILT-UP daily in order to do life effectually and efficiently? Then, be DRUNK in the Spirit – PRAYING in the Holy Ghost. It will REJUVENATE and REVITALISE your FAITH-BEING in Christ Jesus stead – and with that SYNERGY, you can take on any battle of the day by the WORD of God. Ephesians 5:18; Jude 1:20; Isaiah 28:11-12, Acts 20:32.

Give it a go TODAY to PRAY in the Holy Spirit – for it will make your day count and account for you in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it will heal and amend your broken and wounded spirit in the course of your daily goals and endeavours – and in any unprecedented circumstances. Romans 8:26-27; Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13.

Having a broken and dried up spirit is a dangerous spot to be in one’s state of being. For the spirit of man is the candle, search- lamp, illumination, connection signal of the triune man toward God and his being. Hence there’s the need to keep it charged to the full bar for an uninterrupted synchronising fellowship with Father God to enhance the relationship obtained in Christ Jesus stead. For a broken and dried spirit is an indication to a depressing state of the being. Such level of infirmity can only be revitalised, rejuvenated and awaken to life, by PRAYING in the Spirit – which is – praying in the Holy Spirit by your human spirit being to the Father God, in the name of Jesus, by the WORD of God. Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13.

Always remember that man’s spirit being, is MADE by the Spirit of God, and such, lives by the Spirit breath of God by the WORD of God. Hence, the human spirit is eternal and lives in the sphere of eternity. Without it no man can live under the sensitiveness of God’s consciousness. This is why the spirit-hearts needs to be boosted now, daily and always, in order to be Spirit-Ruled by the WORD of God, fulfilling purpose meaningfully. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; Hebrews 4:12-13.

BE A HOLY SPIRIT DRUNK BEING – TO STAY FRESH, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING YOUR FAITH-BEING

I pray for you today, that you might abound in this enabling grace to PRAY now and always in the Spirit, by your spirit, thereby accessing God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BEING CHRISTLIKE

January 14, 2025 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING CHRISTLIKE: LIVING IN THE SPHERE OF CHRISTLIKENESS!

“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to LIVE] and to DIE is gain [for I will be with Him in ETERNITY]” Philippians 1:20-21/Amplified.

Christlikeness is the quality of being CHRISTLIKE or showing forth the spirit of Jesus Christ in every place of doing life and living godly. The Believer’s in Christ Jesus are called to become in their living being – CHRISTLIKE; this is as depicted in Christ Jesus, while in humanity toward God and toward man, even as Apostle Paul seems to acknowledge also of himself in his humanity according to the scriptures [Philippians 1:20-21; Acts 24:16 [Acts 20:20-21; John 9:4; John 10:22-38]; more so, as in Christ Jesus living in humanity for God’s cause and purpose for our our redemption as we are admonished by the Scriptures to equally live for a purpose if we must be a able to live in fulfilling our being an ambassador for Christ in God [1 John 3:8; John 18:37 (Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11-12)].

“. . . 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus . . .” Philippians 3:1-16.

Herein are some few thoughts about being CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS], that I want you to ponder in your spirit-being, though not limited, as more expository will be made available in the nearest future:

To being CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] is to manifestly reveal God’s presence on earth through the Holy Spirit that’s given to us as His representative [ambassador]. [John 14:16-17; Romans 8:9-11; Romans 5:5] [2 Corinthians 5:20; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 115:16-18; Psalms 45:11-12; Genesis 1:26-28].

To being CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] is an indicator as to being His Ambassador knowingly or unknowingly. For when you become a New Creation of Father God in Christ Jesus, a default DNA of representing the heavenly in an earthly affair sets in. And only a pure ignorance, deception and adulteration and insensitivity to the Holy Spirit by the WORD, will make one to live outside the default. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21].

To being CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS], is to live and love as Father God in Christ Jesus without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation [John 3:16-18; John 15:8-16; John 13:34-45; John 8:30-32; Romans 12:9].

To being CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] is to take a stand in the grace by the Faith that justifies us and gave us access to God to SUBJUGATED [SUBDUED] all things as Jesus Christ did in humanity – [Romans 5:1-2; Philippians 3:20-21]. And in the same rights and privileges as in our redemption to have POWER over all flesh [John 17:2] and to live in consciousness of the CHRISTLIKENESS as one who knows that He’s been given ALL THINGS to do life and to live godly on the earth under God purpose [John 13:3; Ephesians 1:3-5; 2 Peter 1:1-5].

To being CHRISTLIKE [CHRISTLIKENESS] is about carrying His cross daily [Luke 9:23-24]; And carrying His cross daily is about living for a purpose and cause in Him. And carrying the cross means carrying the redemption Gospel daily for the good of humanity without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And the Redemption Gospel is in total and whole; and it supersedes and transcends any human inclination, sectarianism, denominationalism and such like; for it’s about preaching Christ – Preaching the WORD without adulteration [Philippians 1:15-17; Acts 8:4-8; 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14, 17].

And the best way to being CHRISTLIKE – to live fully in CHRISTLIKENESS, is to enact and authenticate God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit in our day to day as we are made to become of Him. [John 1:12].
