HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE

May 7, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE: IT GIVES THE NEEDED ALTITUDE TO OUTSMART YOUR TEACHERS AND TEXTBOOKS [ANCIENTS]!

“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.

Having an UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE wherein you stand in Christ Jesus – is the needed leverage to be – ABOVE ONLY. It gives you the needed ALTITUDE to outsmart your TEACHERS and TEXTBOOKS in your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“O how LOVE I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast MADE ME WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than THE ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

I don’t know who has been your TEACHER, INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR and what kind of ANCIENTS (Books, Biography) you have read or reading or understudy or understudying at this moment, but I have miniature short story of life at sunrise to sunset as a teen.

Growing up, I hear this continuous phrase that our children should be better than us and they should outsmart one in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For this cause most parents I know work so hard to ensure that their children become exactly that in many ways, though most of those bulk of work to that greatness, are on the child/children shoulder in order for them to BECOME what they are PURPORTED to be in many ways too.

I remembered while getting set for my secondary, my dear father and Dad and Papa of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning which is unusual, to give me an instruction to greatness in my life. He called me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he called me. I did answered him, then said afterwards, what’s my family name. I answered him again accordingly. He said that as I leave to the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name. Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better of than he is and those [patriarchal] before him. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED I heard him in every decision I put up to action in the course of that teenage path of life.

“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/AMP.

“Thou wilt SHEW me the PATH of life: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

And as a young teenage that have accepted Christ Jesus into my life then, the only thing I know and could hear within me, supposedly by the Holy Spirit then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought extra textbook or workbook way beyond what the school recommended in syllabus and prospectus, just to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not just necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad’s intents or demands, but to ensure that I don’t jeopardize my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted to be ABOVE ONLY. And looking back and taking a reflection, down memory lane, it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God for giving him to be my father, Dad and Papa and also as my personal instructors in many ways – and he’s forever in hearts and thoughts.

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” 1 Corinthians 4:15.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while he’s away for staff meeting to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such accordance by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel one day and stole away my gifted Bible from my dear Uncle Austin [Rev A U MORMAH], as a measure to deter me. Thank God one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastor a Church to God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how come if I am using the same teaching syllabus and prospectus materials as others and as requested by the School then. Neither the Teacher nor the students knew then that I have read Psalms 119:97-100 in my Bible, of what I can be if I give in to a principled living as the path to channel my life by God’s WORD.

And along with Psalmist Scripture that was an instructional awakening for me to be effectual – productive and results oriented, I do embraced also in principle, and by KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, the essence of DILIGENCE and PREPAREDNESS ahead of demand in context, of the scriptures of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31 for an onward and upward trajectory in life and grace. And ever since I knew then that by the SCRIPTURES in context, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT [written records set before time by others in books and other life format], I could take on any subjects of interest that I willingly set myself up to pursue in the grace. And to simply put it, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the quest of humanity, that’s why you like me by God, in His grace, in His word, by the Holy Spirit, can be whatever you want to be in Him. And for me, the rest today is history to God’s eternal glory and praise and honour. Amen.

I have share the above fortaste to let you know and understand that you can OUTSMART your TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT in that trade and field of ENDEAVOURS, if you give yourself to the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to the WORD as the WISDOM NUGGETS in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in this world under God in Christ Jesus stead.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the SCRIPTURES on that subjects of life – Trade, Family, Marriage, Relationship, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such like – for you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness and joy and not someone else except you give them the permission to rule and dominate over your will power in the grace. [Proverbs 4:7]. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you in order to make it TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, COMPREHENSIBLE and DELIVERABLE as desired in the LIGHT of the Scriptures. God’s WORD works today and and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before as you choose to ensure it in principle in the grace wherein we stand by God in Christ Jesus. Amen. [Romans 5:1-2].

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“The beginning of WISDOM is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your ACQUIRING, get UNDERSTANDING [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]” Proverbs 4:7/AMP.

“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast MADE ME WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than all my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than THE ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS; he shall not STAND before MEAN MEN” Proverbs 22:29.

“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.

“The HORSE is PREPARED against THE DAY OF BATTLE: but safety is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“The PLANS and PREPARATION of the mind and ORDERLY THINKING belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue. 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart). 3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your PLANS be established and succeed . . . 9 A man’s mind PLANS his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure” Proverbs 16:1-3, 9/AMP

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE

May 6, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING!

“WISDOM is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom in God to excellently do life and live godly as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:22-31.

And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing – called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all sphere that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8.

To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in all about doing life and living godly, herein for your perusal, are PRINCIPLES to think and ponder upon in respect to the pursuit in principle, of – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM:

PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to foolishness and frustration. Hence a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something, is not enough to carry one through in life’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end. It thus also mean that being passionate about something’s as in – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s written for our knowing:

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE:

***KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purpose meaningful and fulfilling. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that there’s the need to add UNDERSTANDING to one’s KNOWLEDGE even as it’s written:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE:

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Hence where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life.

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise)” Proverbs 21:16.

Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of Passion, knowledge and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2 Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3 Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4 Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6 For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12 WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT).

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED

May 6, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT GUARANTEES AND ENSURES OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT!

“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED.

Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birthright INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publicly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

There are the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus stead.

If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the needs to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified.

I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified.

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified.

“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.

“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified.

“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified.

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.

“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.

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

TAKE A HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL

May 5, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

TAKE A HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL: YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO STOP WORKING – AND TAKE A BREAK!

“The apostles [who had been sent out on a mission] gathered together with Jesus and told Him EVERYTHING that they had DONE and TAUGHT. 31 He said to them, “COME AWAY BY YOURSELVES to a SECLUDED PLACE and REST [LEISURE] a little while”—for THERE WERE MANY [PEOPLE who were CONTINUALLY] COMING and GOING, and they COULD NOT even FIND TIME to EAT. 32 And they WENT AWAY by themselves in the boat to a SECLUDED PLACE” Mark 6:30-32/AMP.

This morning I notice my ISP WiFi was not transmitting fully or very well because most of the in-house and office devices that uses WiFi where not responding as expected. I notice a frozen state indicating that I have to shut the mains down for some couple of minutes and then reset (reboot) the mains and devices again. Lo, behold, each of the devices just retain full strength and back up again, then I remembered that the ISP main hub has been working for a very long time in months without a time or space for rest though it’s a working material or device as designed.

How much more for you and I to see the need to REST and have LEISURE in order to regain a full strength instead of waiting until our body, soul and spirit breaks down as I almost experience few days ago. Hence I can say thanks to God for some good government in governance and employer’s of labour that ensures and assures holidays day as sets by the state and international body are honoured; and as I have equally leant to discipline myself to take a work time break for break and not for anything else irrespective. It helps to rejuvenate, refresh and synergies your wellbeing with wholeness.

Jesus knew how important it means to REST and have LEISURE after a while as He exhort the disciples to do likewise in Mark 6:30-32. Much more, there’s the spiritual rest of your triune-being, which is a consequence of praying in the Spirit as enjoined in the Bible book of Isaiah 28:9-12 and Ephesians 6:18 and Jude 1:20 and 1 Corinthians 14:18-22, 39 respectively; It’s indicated and expressed by the Isaiah scripture especially, the very vitality and importance of spiritual rest; it’s a very refreshing medicine to your wholesome being – spirit, soul and body [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13].

Therefore, TODAY, THIS DAY, begin to create and take time to rest, have leisure, for many have come and gone working so much hard and HARDWORKING as they claimed and are short-lived in the midst of their time without fulfilling purpose, instead of them working by being smart and SMARTWORKING, in taking time off-work and working overload, knowing and seeing the act of the wisdom of God for their good and goodness, and as a wellbeing medicine that’s needful as Jesus enjoined – to take a get away HOLIDAY in order to EAT, REST and have LEISURE. [Mark 6:30-32].

I pray you will be wise enough to live by the wisdom of God, in taking time to have rest and leisure; and to create opportunities for holidays and to take work time break for holidays and to ensure it in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOUR HOLIDAY TIME IS FOR REST AND LEISURE – DO ENSURE IT FOR YOUR GOOD AND HEALTHY LIVING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The apostles [who had been sent out on a mission] gathered together with Jesus and told Him EVERYTHING that they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a SECLUDED PLACE and REST [LEISURE] a little while”—for there were many [people who were CONTINUALLY] COMING and GOING, and they could not even FIND TIME to eat. 32 And they went away by themselves in the boat to a SECLUDED PLACE” Mark 6:30-32 AMPLIFIED.

“Walk in WISDOM toward them that are without, REDEEMING THE TIME” Colossians 4:5.

“. . . 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 for with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:9-12.

” To whom will He TEACH KNOWLEDGE? [Ask the drunkards.] And whom will He make to UNDERSTAND the message? Those who are babies, just weaned from the milk and taken from the breasts? [Is that what He thinks we are?] 10 For it is [His prophets repeating over and over]: precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little. 11 No, but [the Lord will TEACH the rebels in a more humiliating way] by men WITH STAMMERING LIPS AND ANOTHER TONGUE will He SPEAK to this people [says Isaiah, and TEACH them His lessons]. 12 To these [complaining Jews the Lord] had said, This is the TRUE REST [the way to TRUE COMFORT AND HAPPINESS] that you shall GIVE TO THE WEARY, and, This is the [true] REFRESHING—yet they would not listen [to His teaching].” Isaiah 28:9-12/AMP Classic Edition.

“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; 21 Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—[which will bring you] unto life eternal” Jude 1:20/AMP Classic Edition.

“I thank my God, I SPEAK WITH TONGUES more than ye all: 19 yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an UNKNOWN TONGUE. 20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With men of OTHER TONGUES and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 22 Wherefore TONGUES are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe . . . 39 Wherefore, brethren, COVET to prophesy, and FORBID NOT to SPEAK WITH TONGUES” 1 Corinthians 14:18-22, 39.

“PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO-FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING-FRUIT BEARING: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE AND ABIDING IN HIS WORD!

Desiring to be FRUITFUL? Desiring to ensure and be assured in FRUITFULNESS? Desiring to MATURE and be MATURING in FRUIT bearing? Desiring to abound in ABIDING FRUIT Bearing? That’s all possible in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. Our Heavenly Father wants you in Christ Jesus stead to THRIVE and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in doing life and living godly in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. He wants you to be able to live meaningfully fulfilled in all you do, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, there’s the need for PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL living, in order to ensure FRUITFULNESS to THRIVE, toward a FULFILLING life.

PURPOSEFUL LIVING comes by ABIDING In God’s LOVE which is secured in ABIDING in His WORD. It therefore means, that as you ABIDE in God’s WORD, you will THRIVE in phases. Doing life are in PHASES just as men are in SIZES. However, SIZE only depends on how more or much one can take on the various PHASES that one encounters in the course and cause of time in doing life. It’s at this LIFE PHASES state, that the definition as to whether one is either going to THRIVE or be a SURVIVAL of the fittest as sometimes acclaimed. The phases in God’s BLESSEDNESS are culled from the Holy Writ of John 15:1-16, and every phase are very vital and important indeed. Herein are these PHASES:

A NO FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
A FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
A MORE FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
A MUCH FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 5, 8
And an ABIDING FRUIT stage – Vs 16

THRIVING is an essence of God as in the above phases; and it must be noted that God takes one through the PHASES so that one can be able to be FRUITFUL, that’s FRUIT BEARING; more so, that one can eventually earn or attain to such MATURITY in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I pray you will THRIVE through each PHASE state with ease in grace; and by abiding in God’s LOVE and His WORD, you will in LIFE and GRACE, ABIDE in FRUITFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And may this SCRIPTURAL PRAYERS of Philippians 1:9-11 and Ephesians 3:14-19, ABOUND with you as written:

“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED with might through His Spirit in the INNER man, 17 that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through faith; that you, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH PASSES KNOWLEDGE; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3:14-19 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I am the TRUE VINE, and my Father is the HUSBANDMAN. 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that BEARETH FRUIT, he PURGETH it, that it may bring FORTH MORE FRUIT. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man ABIDE not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might REMAIN (ABIDE) in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED (APPOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN (ABIDE, ABOUND): that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:1-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may ABOUND to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being ENRICHED in every thing to all BOUNTIFULNESS, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:7-11.

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the Spirit is IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and GOOD FRUITS, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.

“Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:11.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

May 4, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).

Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God.

That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observed people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable.

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25].

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.

Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context:

*1* SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).

*2* IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).

*3* THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).

God does not wants us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of the “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him.

This Is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.

I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURED THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22.

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.

“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.

“. . . 8 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. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH

May 4, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH: IT’S EMBEDDED IN – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – YOU HAVE IN THE GRACE!

The genuine COMMUNICATION [PROFESSING, CONFESSING, DECLARING , ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING] of your FAITH in doing life and living godly, has gracious and graceful effect; and the gracious and graceful effect is in you POSSESSING [OWNING, ACKNOWLEDGING] in your rights and privileges of God in REDEMPTION, of the PROFESS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead to any context in doing life and living godly under God.

It therefore means that you CAN’T just ACCLAIMED to be able to COMMUNICATE [PROFESS, PROCLAIM, DECLARE and CONFESS] effectually to affirmed to the FAITH in Christ Jesus, wherein all things work together for the good, when you have NOT RESOLVED genuinely to the PROFESSING of the FAITH within you unreservedly and without reservation and adulteration. You can only MAKE GOOD out of the GOOD WITHIN you on that which you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION [DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY, PROFESSING] of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine.

The simple truth in life is this – God is not mocked and can’t be deceived by mere religious believe and dogmas – hence there’s the need to have THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE – of who God is, and who you’ve become of Him in Christ Jesus stead, in all matters of life context; this is to help indicate your stand in the grace and you can then stand in that grace to BECOME who you ARE in Christ Jesus stead and not in another, in all matters about doing life and living godly. Having the understanding of your stand in the grace gives you the leverage you need in your onward and upward trajectory to stand out and emboldened from others, in you to fulfil purpose in the Gospel as Apostle Paul did acknowledged in the context of the scripture below.

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:20-21.

Therefore, know today that your

effectual communication of the faith – it’s embedded in – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – you have in the grace.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.

“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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:9-13.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: GIVES ETERNAL LIFE ACCESS – IN OUR REDEMPTION!

The most profound High Priest PRAYERS for the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST of which you are and can be a partaker in the Scriptures, was OFFERED by our Lord Jesus Christ while at the verged of the closure of His earthly Ministry for the REDEMPTION of mankind.

In the Holy Writ Book of John Chapter 17 is written of the most comprehensive INTERCESSORY PRAYERS ever made for the CAUSE of the good of His Church. Jesus in one of the verses OFFERED PRAYERS to the FATHER God that we might come to a place in grace of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE so that we can ACTUALISE and LIVE in the REALM of ETERNAL LIFE. A place wherein we can comprehensively grab the fullness of His DONE DEED for us in Christ.

Christ Jesus praying that – We might KNOW Father God and Himself who was SENT by the Father, indicates there is graciousness and gracefulness to attain in such REALM of PRAYERS – John 17:3. That is the REALM that can ENSURE that we can be able to articulate and authenticate His WILL in Heaven into our Earthly affairs. Amen.

ETERNAL LIFE is the ETERNITY realm of God in doing life. And for us to actualise the fullness of our REDEMPTION in Him, we need to synchronize our spirit BEING to that ETERNAL LIFE REALM of God. For indeed He has planted ETERNITY in us – Ecclesiastes 3:11. This is made possible by having the knowing and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in us.

May I make bold to say that it is in keeping your eternal spirit BEING alive that one can comprehend in essence the WORKS of God in man. And we are expected to WALK in this ETERNITY REALM if indeed we LIVE in this REALM – Galatians 5:25. Do you? If not, it’s time to keep to the expected in order to make your prayers EASIER. For it’s a REALM beyond the FIVE SENSES or rather a REALM wherein the FIVE Senses has been SENSITIZED by the WORD KNOWING of God – Hebrews 5:14.

I pray that you will see the need to articulate and synchronize your spirit BEING to this ETERNAL LIFE in order to give the HEAVENLY ACCESS to your EARTHLY affairs.

MAXIMISE YOUR RESOURCES

May 3, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

MAXIMISE YOUR RESOURCES: TIME, EFFORTS (MENTAL/PHYSICAL EXERTION), FINANCE, MATERIAL AND PEOPLE!

A More Than CONQUERORS? – Keen To SUCCEED? – Keen To THRIVE Instead of SURVIVE? Here Is The WISDOM NUGGETS For Today!

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

A Colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, but it’s not a give away, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard and idlers; hence there’s the Need to maximize your God given basic RESOURCES – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE; that’s if you earnestly wants to endorse your Plans, Purposes and Pursuits meaningfully – to create, innovate, initiate and explore the resource of grace within you – 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28-30.

The knowing that ‘YOU ARE OF GOD’, “BELOVED OF GOD” and “BELOVED BY GOD” makes you steadily and readily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, and more so, the knowing that the GREATER ONE lives within you.

Therefore, it’s imperative to let your TIME, EFFORT, FINANCIAL, MATERIAL and PEOPLE resources count and account for your good. For “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT”, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilised one’s given resources: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE. This also means you can become what you want to be if you walk in wisdom with your God given resource in your day to day PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS.

It is on this platform that one can also become A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL which some like to ascertain for self-pity I guessed.

I pray you abound BLESSED. Be EMPOWERED to SUCCEED as a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE BELOVED and MORE THAN – Don’t Live For Less In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!!
